All Chapters of C.I.A. Vampires: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

He took a deep breath and lowered the knife, then practically fell into my arms. "Sorry, Star. I've just been through a lot. It's so good to see you, girl." I held him close within my arms, supporting his weight. "My God, Rick! What have they done to you?" It was good to have him within my arms, to know he was safe and alive. Then he pulled back to look into my eyes. "You don't want to know," he said, then turned to face Annie with an arm around my shoulders. "Annie, thanks for coming through. You're the best." "Did I just hear you correctly? Did you just say I'm the best?" Annie asked seductively, stepping closer to Rick, her eyes never wavering from his. "As in, the best agent, the best girl?"I rolled my eyes as I laughed. Annie would never change. But, to my surprise, Rick didn't waver. Taking a step closer to her, he replied, "Not girl ... woman." He took her into his arms, his eyes never releasing hers, and lifted the hem of her dress and shoved the Ballistics knife back

"Who are you?" the blonde teen finally asked, no longer screaming. "My name is Annie, and this is Rick, and that is Star and Zac over there. How do you feel?" Annie asked with concern in her eyes. Rick was at his other side of the metal table. Then she asked, "What's your name?" "John," he answered, obviously trying to control the pain. "Jonathan Ryan." Annie smiled. "Nice to meet you, John." "How do you feel?" Rick asked, concern lighting his face. "Is the pain gone yet?" "No, but it's lessening," John replied. "I can handle it." Rick nodded and smiled. "It'll be over soon." Then, he thought for a moment and added, "I'm so sorry you had to go through this." "What happened to me?" John asked, trying to control the pain. "You were injected by a mad man with my venom," Rick replied. "You're becoming a vampire." John laughed without humor. "I remember you and Annie telling me that, but I didn't believe you. Vampires are just myth, right?" Rick shrugged, then asked, "Wh

"What the hell are you doing, Drake?" I asked, standing beside Zac. Everyone in the room tensed, ready for what was coming. "You know you can't win." Drake laughed menacingly. "Oh, yes, I can and I will." He took a step closer to me, his eyes never leaving mine. "After all, I'm not the one locked behind three inches of steel with no way out."I laughed as my lips curled into a sneer as everyone in the room laughed, as well. "Three inches? Is that all?" Then, I took a step closer to him. "You're going to have to do better than that." I stepped even closer, my eyes never wavering from his. "And when you do, you'd better bring more than just steel and two guards." Drake's smile faded into a scowl, then he turned his attention toward Zac. "How are you feeling, boy?" He took a step toward him, looking him up and down. "Vampirism becomes you," Drake said, walking slowly around him, as if appraising a horse. "Do you feel any sudden urges? Maybe a shimmer moving along your spine?" Drake s

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

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
