Chapter 5: Tourists

"I just want to take care of you. After all, you are my blood. Why don't you understand that I only care about your best interests. I'm telling you, it's not safe to go to that club at this time. "I sat on a bench with my legs crossed.

My twenty-second generation grandson adjusted the glasses on his nose and looked at me as if I was a liar. "I don't see the danger of meeting my book club in the library. We are all friends there and we only discuss our favorite books. ”

I rolled my eyes. This is where the danger of such clubs lies. Before you know it, you're fifty years old and haven't been to bed once. "Okay, let's go. But consider this proposal. When you're done with your friends, you bring them all home, and we can have a nice party so I can see the boy you're ingratiating—"

"Never!" Her eyes flashed with the neon sign of red Eve, and her expression was horrified. "If they knew where I lived, I would die of shame!"

"In a big house with an entire floor?" I was taken aback. We vampires please our newbies. Most of them never have to work unless they want to. They are the breeders, we are the protectors. I never thought that Angelica's living quarters were subpar. Did I miss something about the average living conditions of this century? This won't be the first time.

"No...... It's a brothel! Angelica huffed.

I played with my hair and puffed up my chest to her off. I know she doesn't like indecent clothes. She was always so modest and tied up with her clothes. Not an inch of unnecessary free skin. God forbid if her figure shows out. "I like to think of it as a healthy fare. We only get premium clients and sell good times instead of pure sex. Don't compare our family business to one of them. "And it pays better, too.

"Grandma, can I go now? Or is there any point in this discussion? She straightened up, and I could tell she was about to leave.

"If you're really so persistent, then I won't get in your way." Resigned to fate, I sighed and pulled out a pack of condoms. "At least take these. Never know if those Jewish friends of yours might not make some progress. If that's your wish, I hope you're prepared. ”

Since the library was in the center of the city, she snorted and strode towards the bus stop. That's just a ten-minute drive. "I bet you poked them all with a needle!"

I smacked my tongue, and Angelica's Guardian floated closer, remaining in the shadows. How did she know? I opened them with a Stanley knife and carefully glued the packages together. There was no way to get her to notice. "Follow her and make sure she's safe. And drop some blue pills in the boy's drink. "I threw the condom in a nearby trash can. If there's one thing I'm sure of, it's about the behavior of a stupid young man.

The shadow nodded, followed the bus, and hurried down the street. I stood at my post and guarded the lair.

It takes a few minutes for something new to happen. Two women entered the parking lot, which is not surprising as we cater to both genders at the same time. The surprising aspect about these two is that I don't know them, I know every single one of our regulars. In addition, one of them looks too young. There are certain limitations in this era, which does not mean that I am in favor of it.

The older of the two had jet-black hair and looked to be in his twenties. The red-lipped face looked a little tired. Her figure is even my opponent, which awakens the desire to seduce her. I'm not serious, a beautiful woman is just as good as a strong man.

The girl next to her was fifteen, maybe sixteen? Her hair isn't as dark and has a darker edge, but by comparing their faces, I can tell they're related.

I squinted my eyes and studied them further. They were approaching places where their status was in question, but the old woman's steps were firm and safe. The girl may seem insecure, but her movements are calculated because she makes sure that the woman is always between me and her.

"Are you Eva?" The woman was talking to me a few feet away.

I laughed. "In the flesh. How can I help you? ”

"We were told you could provide a safe place?" The woman asked. A car turns around the corner and leaves us bathed in lights. Her head flicked towards the vehicles that passed by my premises and continued down the street. That's what got her going.

The movement is not entirely human. Oh, of course. No one will notice the difference. But I've had a lot of time to understand the subtleties of other paranormal phenomena. Of all the supernatural races, Satan is the hardest to hide his true nature. My theory is that this is because their human bodies are just camouflage. They wear their bodies like cloth.

When they think they are unattended, they breathe slower than humans and move more like snakes. Sometimes they simply forget to move when they think about something. They are completely still, weighing their options. No other race can do this. There's always something moving, just because humans are constantly breathing.

"Of course, I can. All I needed was some identification and adequate compensation for my efforts. "I slipped a little further on the bench to make it easier to jump up when attacked. These two spells are unfortunately present. I'm not sure what's going on between the lord and the rest of his race. In the eighty years since his people disappeared, he had never allowed any other race to enter his territory.

It is quite normal for each of Satan's clans to use a veil to protect their territory. This energy shield will tell them when their race has violated their territory and it ignores other races. Although, judging by the words of the lord, I think he can blockade the entire territory if he wants to. I heard that there were frequent fights between the various clans, but for some reason, the area was mostly peaceful.

The woman reached into her purse, pulled out hundreds of pieces of fat from it, and threw it on my lap. "We can compensate you, but you can't ask questions."

I kept smiling, looking at the money, and then at her. "It seems that you don't understand. It's not about money, it's about who you are. She stopped, and the girl took a step back. Oh, it's not good. "Before you do anything, you might want to think about my side? And there are others here, and if you attack me, you won't come out unscathed. ”

Her eyes searched the windows of my establishment, then the shadows. "Speak."

"Our hosts, who owned the old days of the territory, had a very bad character. He tended to punish people by killing their relatives first. There is this theme of "punish everyone by punishing them". I have a good relationship with him and I don't want to risk helping you both. But I don't want you to be an enemy either. "I'd rather have no old enemies. Not a single one.

"I can give you shelter, but at the same time I have to inform him. We have to tell him you're here. You have to forgive me, but I don't know what happened between you. If you have a conflict, I'd rather not be involved. ”

The woman looked at me, her eyes wandering over me. And only her eyes. The way the girl spies on the street is less creepy.

"How long will it take him to react?" She asked.

"I don't know? Although he rarely checks his email. I'm pretty sure you have until tomorrow. "Actually, I'm not sure at all. The last time I saw him, he was nervous. But if he catches one of you, that's pretty cool. Okay, he may not like the girl, but you're definitely the type he likes. I feel like he needs a woman. You're right there.

I wisely shut my mouth instead of saying these thoughts out loud.

The girl tuggs at the woman's sleeve. "I'm tired." She looked no less than that woman.

The woman looked at the girl and turned her attention to me again. "Where are we going? I'm SelyHammon and this is my sister, Annia Hammon. ”

I got up from my seat and stuffed the cash into my pocket. "Please follow me."
