Then she snubbed me and talked to a vamp that looked exactly like James Dean to her left. For a split second, I wondered if it was really them, Marilyn Monroe and James Dean. If it was them, they could have staged their deaths before anyone noticed they weren't aging. Well, stranger things have happened. Behind the bar was a female bartender with short black hair, cropped into a bob curling just below her ears, reminiscent of the silent movie era. She had a painted on black mole on her left cheek and heavy black, Cleopatra eyeliner to match.

"What can I get for you, Bill?" Cleo asked in a squeaky voice reminding me of Betty Boop, frantically chewing gum, as she placed an empty glass onto the bar in front of me. "The usual?"

"No, I'm working," I replied, pushing the glass aside.

Cleo laughed, then replied, "Since when has that stopped you?"

"Since tonight," I replied, looking around the bar. "Where's V?"

Cleo's painted on black eyebrows pulled together, confused. "Well, he went

    "We have company!" Verus yelled over his shoulder, making a quick turn down another street where more rogue vamps blocked our way. I quickly leaned out the passenger side window and unloaded my Glock into as many vamps as I possibly could, while Verus expertly darted around others, heading toward the expressway. Quickly, I reached into my pants pocket for another clip and popped it into my Glock, ready to roll just as another rogue vamp jumped onto the hood. "Get the hell off my car!" Verus yelled in his pronounced Roman accent as I leaned out the window and unloaded my clip into his brain. Another vamp crawled across the back of the car and had me by the throat in an instant, while Verus quickly spun the yellow Corvette around, trying to knock him off, but failed miserably. In one fluid motion, I grabbed my Greyman knife from my boot and stabbed him all the way through his throat. The blade came out the back of his neck. He let go. Within a second, Verus made a sharp left turn

    My tears turned to anger as I imagined Annie with Michaels. Then, I remembered what she said about Rick. How she was in love with him. But then again, when I asked her if she'd ever been with anyone else, she replied, 'None that I loved.' Oh, Annie! What have you done?"I don't believe it! She has to be undercover! Annie would never betray her country!" Somehow, I just couldn't bring myself to believe that Annie could betray us like that after what we've been through together over the years. "I sure hope you're right about her, for all our sakes," Verus replied, then added as concern filled his eyes, "If she is undercover, I haven't been told about it and she's made no contact with me. According to Abbott, she went rogue about a year ago." I laughed. "Is that who you got your information from?" I asked, feeling relieved. "Abbot's dead, I'm sure. A shape shifter was posing as him a few days ago.""No, I have Abbott," Verus replied casually, but concerned. "What do you mean, you

    "But the problem was that the gladiators kept dying." Verus paused, shaking his head, remembering times long past. "So for sport, he decided to create vampires out of some of us to lengthen the games.""That's when he made you into a vampire," I replied, unable to believe what I was hearing. "Yes," Verus continued. "He made my friend, Priscus, and I into vampires, then told us we had to fight one another. The winner would earn our freedom." "I remember this story," I replied, remembering my world history. "Yes, you probably do," Verus continued. "Anyway, before the fight ensued, Priscus and I vowed to make it look good, but not to kill one another." "So, the day of the games," I continued, remembering the story. "You two fought long and hard until he finally stopped the fight and awarded you both your freedom." "Yes, that's correct," Verus replied, turning away. "We made it look good and put on a good show." A thought suddenly occurred to me. "How do I know that you're tel

    "That's a promise, huh?" Verus asked, clearly amused. I just glared at him. He knew I was dead serious. "Agreed," he replied, his eyes narrowing, suddenly somber. "First, we need to get my car before we go anywhere," I told him, thinking of the small arsenal I had waiting in the trunk of the car. "Yours will attract too much attention." Verus nodded, twisting the key of his yellow convertible, as the engine roared to life. "Is it near the club?" Verus asked, talking about The Mirage. "A few blocks down," I replied, watching the scenery pass, thinking of Zac and hoping he was still alive. We didn't have time. "We'll have to get it quickly before anyone from the club recognizes us," Verus replied, turning his Corvette back onto the expressway, headed back to the city. Then, I turned to face him. "Believe me. You want me to get my car." "Is it loaded?" Verus asked, as a slight grin lit his lips. "I came well stocked," I replied, thinking of the weapons in the trunk. Veru

    After expertly hiding his car in the brush, Verus slid into the passenger seat of the Challenger. Then, I pealed out, sending a shower of pebbles flying behind, headed toward the Bronx. We had to act quickly, for if we didn't, we signed the death warrants of Rick and Zac, and quite possibly Annie. Within minutes, we turned onto I-95 and crossed over the George Washington Bridge headed toward the Cross Bronx Expressway. "Where to?" I asked Verus, immediately in agent mode. "Take a left onto Archer Street, then a left onto Thieriot Avenue," Verus directed, also in agent mode. "Make a right down this alley. The warehouse is all the way down at the end."I nodded, following his directions. I made the turns and passed a few buildings, then came to a deserted part of the alley, but at the end stood a five story metal fortress. It was huge, covering most of the block. I was sure it was filled with security, although none were visible from the street. "I thought you said it was a ware

    "I'll give him a call," the blonde vamp said, undeterred, reaching for his walkie talkie hanging on the side of his belt. "She's a surprise," Verus quickly interrupted. "I found her at the club and thought Drake might like her." "Oh, I think he's going to be surprised, alright," the brunette vamp replied with a smirk, then turned to me. "I thought you were dead." "You're not the only one, sugar," I replied in Marilyn's breathy voice as I trailed a hand seductively down his arm. Body print. "It's a pleasure to meet you," I added, seductively extending my hand. Then, he took my hand into his own and kissed it without taking his eyes from mine. "The pleasure is all mine, Miss Monroe." He motioned me into the fortress as Blondie's eyebrows pulled together. Blondie looked like he was once a member of the Special Forces, perhaps a Navy Seal, before he was changed into a vamp. He was not going to be as easily fooled. I glanced in his direction and winked, as he quickly turned his head

    "What the hell are you talking about?" Annie's eyes narrowed as she smoothed her dress, undeterred. "Because V said the same thing about you, Annie," I replied, taking another deep breath. "He's on our side." "For your sake," Annie said in a rushed low voice. "You'd better hope so." She looked around to make sure we were alone and looked me in the eye again. "We don't have a lot of time." Then, a thought occurred to me as I backed away, my eyes narrowing. "Annie, why didn't you tell me about Michaels when you saw me in Cooperstown?" "That's not important, Star ..." "The hell it isn't!" I said, preparing for the worst. Annie sighed. "I've been undercover with Michaels for a few months now. Michaels heard you were in Cooperstown and sent me. He has no idea I'm still an agent! As far as the agency is concerned, my cover is that I've gone rogue!" I sighed, not sure what to believe. But at this point, I knew I had to believe her. I had no choice. "Okay, what do you know?" I kn

    I nodded, turning my attention back to Drake, listening. "Won't you sit down?" Drake replied, indicating the other couch sitting kitty corner from the one where Michaels and Annie comfortably sat. Then, Drake picked up my drink and handed it to me again. I knocked the drink from his hand, sending the glass flying across the room. It crashed loudly into a million shards as it hit the wall then fell to the floor. "I'd rather stand," I said casually, my eyes narrowing. "Come now, dear," Drake replied, taking my hand into his, then looked directly into my eyes. "There's no reason why we can't be civil.""Tell that to everyone you murdered during the war!" I replied, my eyes narrowing, refusing to give in. Drake laughed. "Which war?"I glared at him as Michaels chuckled. Annie, watched, casually running a finger along the top of her glass. "Yes, I was talking to the Fuhrer about you, Star," Drake said, then his eyes narrowed. "That is, before you came in and killed him." "Hitl

    "Come on, everyone!" Rick announced, heading toward the door. "Let's not keep Abbott waiting." He looked at Zac, and added, "Uh ... sorry ... your father." "Hey, don't change anything on my account!" Zac replied with a shrug then took my hand as we walked out the door and climbed into the back of the van along with John. Rick and Annie took the front.Soon, we were on NY-28 S headed toward Washington D.C. when Annie announced, "Hey, maybe we can go shopping in D.C. after we see Abbott." Rick laughed, rolling his eyes and smiling. But this time, I couldn't argue with her. "Sounds good," I replied, as Zac laughed, watching Rick as he moaned and shook his head, rolling his eyes again. "I need some clothes badly." "Oh, goodie!" Annie replied, joyously clapping her hands and bouncing up and down in her seat as I laughed. "Annie, you'll never change," I replied, secretly glad of it. I'd really missed her over the last few years and was glad we were all together again. "But you w

    When I finally opened my eyes, the sun was shining brightly through the windows, glistening off the contours of Zac's smooth, beautiful skin. I turned over, draping my arm over him and smiled, closing my eyes. "Good morning, sleepyhead," Zac said with a smile, and then kissed me gently on the cheek. I yawned, stretching before sitting up. It really felt good to relax and rejuvenate my body, especially since Zac was safe and our case was over. "Did you sleep?" I asked, not wanting the moment to end. "No," Zac replied, trailing a finger along my cheek, "but I enjoyed watching you sleep." I rolled my eyes and turned over."Here," Zac said, pulling me to a sitting position. "Time to get up, sleepyhead." "Why?" I asked in protest, then turned over with a smile and curled up on the pillow, shoving it under my head. Zac tried to pull it from me, but we ended up tearing it in half as feathers flew over the bed and I tackled him, laughing, then pushed him back onto the bed with a sm

    Abbott took a seat, knowing what was coming, but said nothing. Zac took his mother's hands into his own, then said, "Mom, I can't stay here. At least, not for a while." Jennifer nodded, taking the news reasonably well. "You know what I am now, Mom," Zac continued, his eyebrows pulling together in concern. "I'm sure Dad told you." She nodded, looking at the table, listening. "Mom, do you understand why I can't live here with you?" Zac asked, worried. "Yes, I understand," Jennifer responded, putting on a brave face. Then, she looked her son directly in the eye. "Son, I know you won't hurt me." "I won't, Mom. You know that," Zac answered, then continued. "But I don't know that. I need a bit of time. I'm new, brand new, so I have a few things to learn first." Zac's mother nodded, as Abbott took her other hand. "Where will you stay, Zac? Where will you live?" Zac looked at me as I nodded, then took a deep breath. "I'm going to stay with Abigail and her family." "But you'

    A moment later, Zac and I pulled out of the narrow driveway and made a left, heading toward town and Annie's house. We said nothing as I pulled in front of the house, hoping no one would notice the bullet holes decorating the side of the car. Regardless, we had tonight and I didn't want anything to spoil it. The house was dark when we pulled up. At vamp speed, Zac came around the car and opened my car door, then scooped me with ease into his arms. His super-human strength was going to come in handy. I wrapped my arms around his neck, letting him carry me to the door. "What's this all about?" I asked as a corner of my lips lifted into a mischievous grin. "What does it look like?" he answered, returning my smile. "I'm practicing carrying you over the threshold." "Practicing, huh?" I asked with a smile. "You still want to marry me after all this?""Marry you? Nah ..." Zac said, smiling, as my face fell slightly. Then, he placed a gentle finger under my chin to lift my eyes to his.

    Zac's perfectly-shaped eyebrows pulled together in confusion. "What are you saying? Even my father?"I nodded, smiling. "That son of a ..." Zac yelled, his grief suddenly turning to rage. "Zac, now wait a minute," I replied, cutting him off. "V said your father tried to call you, but we were already on the road and he couldn't get hold of us." Then, I thought for a moment and added, "The cell phones are in the glove box. We'll have to ditch them soon, but go ahead and call them. I'm sure they'll answer." "But what about other shape shifters?" Zac asked, looking at the black cell phone he'd just pulled from the glove box. "Zac, Drake's dead," I replied, then smiled. "We're the only ones left. Just you and I." Zac nodded, and then looked at the cell one more time. "No, I'll call them tomorrow." Then, a thought appeared within his mind. "Do you think it's safe to go back to Cooperstown now?" "Well, Drake's dead and I'm sure word will get around that who was going to pay is de

    Slamming the car door, I expertly wheeled the Challenger around, running over another rogue vamp in the process. I stopped the car on the corner where Rick, Annie, and John were waiting, taking down rogue vamps as shots of gunfire resonated throughout the neighborhood. It wouldn't be long, and the humans would respond. The men in blue would be crawling all over us in the matter of minutes. Quickly, I slung open the trunk and Rick and Annie were beside me in an instant, ripping open the cases. "Yes! A Gatlin gun!" Rick yelled, taking it from the case. "Good girl!" he yelled as he quickly loaded the bullet belt into it, then pulled it into his arms with ease, slinging the bullet belt over his shoulder. Annie, Zac, and John pulled weapons from the black leather cases, loading up, then quickly turned to stave off the rogue vamps coming toward us. Quickly, I flung open a case, finding what I was looking for, a grenade launcher. Pulling it from the case, I quickly loaded it with a case o

    Feeling was slowly returning to my body, allowing me to sit up. I looked over at Zac and relief filled his eyes. I smiled, knowing he would be fine. "Well, aren't you worried about me at all?" another voice came from the landing; a voice I would always know, pulling my attention momentarily away from Zac. "Rick! You're alive!" I exclaimed, turning to face him. And John was on his heels, smiling. "Of course! What did you think? That I was going to die and let you have all the fun?" Rick asked, sitting on the ground beside me. "John came back for us. Once we dug out the bullets, Verus and I healed pretty quickly." Then, he ripped open his shirt. "You wanna see?""Please, Rick!" I exclaimed, shielding my eyes. "Too much info!" Rick laughed, until he saw Annie lying lifeless upon the floor. "Annie!" he exclaimed as he ran to her side. Slowly, I got to my feet and followed. Rick knelt beside her and I knelt on her other side as tears filled my eyes. For here was Annie-my friend Aca

    "You'll never be the one to break me, Clark," I replied, my eyes narrowing. "We shall see," he replied with a sneer lighting his lips, clearly amused. "You see? My experiment was a success," Drake said, looking over at Zac. "And now that I have him, what do I need with you?" He then knelt over my body, with a knee on either side. He looked closely at the knife's long blade, then into my eyes. "Now that I know all I need is your blood, or his, what do I need you for?" Then a sneer lifted the corner of his lips. "After all, he's filled with your blood." "Get it over with, Drake," I taunted, my eyes flaring. "Go ahead and kill me. You always were a coward." Drake's eyes narrowed. "Coward? I am no coward!" So, I'd struck a nerve. "Years ago, my father invited you into our house to talk rationally, but you were too much of a coward to comply. Obviously, you were too scared to come into the house because you didn't know if you were outnumbered or not." I took a breath, feeling it go

    I looked at Zac, and then at Annie. "Let's do it," I replied. Together, we fired our Uzis at every vampire in the room. "I want Star and the boy alive! Kill the blonde!" Drake yelled over the gunfire suddenly exploding within the room. Within a second, the vamps rushed us, and we took them all down. Zac ripped the heads off some, then shot another, placing the pistol right between the guy's eyes. Annie's karate and jujitsu moves were unsurpassed as she moved with lightning speed, ripping apart the vamps in her wake. As for me, I ripped apart every vamp in my way, blowing the heads off any who got in my way as I made my way purposefully across the room, my eyes never leaving Drake. Suddenly, Annie was shot in the chest, throwing her to the ground face down, but my eyes never left Drake. Venom filled my mouth in anticipation of the kill. I took my time, killing any vamps who got in my way, as I walked purposefully toward Drake. The corner of my lips curled into a menacing smile, as f
