Chapter 11: And so it all begins.

"Mister Parker, there are two people over here that are looking for Thomas Bradhurst." Gary Parker's secretary said trough the telephone.
"Yes sir, I will tell them that, yes sir." She put the telephone down. "Mister Parker will be here in a few minutes, please have a seat over there."
Majo thanked her, and she and Louie sat down. The secretary looked up from her paperwork and smiled and Louie, who managed a wry smile.
He then looked at the photographs on the wall, which were probably of the people that worked on this floor, the picture of Thomas Bradhurst hang next to Gary Parker's Photograph.
He was a young man, wearing and old and shabby green tie, and looking as if he wanted to be anywhere but here. Majo was reading a magazine, and Louie was still looking at the picture, as if he had a precognition that he was going to need to remember what Thomas looked like later on.
"Hello miss, I am Gary Parker." Gary said as he reached for Majo's hand, he was a very charming man.
"Hello sir." She said. "I was wondering if you could tell me where I could find mister Bradhurst. My associate and I wanted to talk to him about the Greenthorpe mansion."
"Well, well." He said and he gave her a cheesy grin. "That place is quiet popular lately. I fear that mister Bradhurst has left for Orleton the other day, but perhaps I could be of assistance."
"No." Louie said immediately. "Thank you for your time, mister Parker."
Majo was puzzled and quickly said her goodbye’s before running after Louie. "Why don’t you want him to help us? He could..." Louie had entered the elevator and Majo jumped in just before the doors slid close. "I know what you want to ask, I sense something about that guy, there is something about him I can’t quiet put my finger on.” Louie paused for a moment, it felt as If something else was present there. Something that he did not understand, a feeling of confusion mixed with fear. “Something tells me we'll be better off discussing this with mister Bradhurst."
"Whatever you want, dear." Majo didn’t understand, perhaps his vampire senses were tingling.
They exited the elevator and were heading for the big rolling doors to exit the building, when two buff looking men in black suits approached them.
The slightly taller one put his hand on Louie's shoulder and slowly but firmly accompanied him to a door to left side of the hallway. “Step this way please, sir. We require a moment of your time.”
"Hey, where are you taking me?" Louie looked over his shoulder; he could see that the other man held a gun pointed at Majo, hidden under his coat. There were several people waiting in the lines in this hall, most of them came here to extend their passport or their identity card.
Some of them had noticed the disturbance and their eyes followed Louie and the guard.
Louie became angry when he saw that Majo was in danger. "I think you should let go now" He told the tall and buff man who didn’t appear to be listening. Louie asked again before he gave him a head stomp against his nose. The guy started cursing as blood ran down his nose and over his lips. Louie could not resist and licked up a small trail that ran down his chin, his hand went for the gun and he grasped it firmly and shot the other buff rabbit trough the head with superhuman precision. Majo screamed as she saw a part of the man's brains and his right ear burst out of his skull and land a bit further away over the bodies of the people waiting in line.
The people started screaming in terror and ran out of the city hall, some tripping over each other in their haste and panic.
"Shut up and get over here Marjorie." Louie said wrapping one of his strong arms around the living buff guy’s neck, as he held the gun to his head.
"Now, you tell me what you and your partner wanted of us, or I’ll make sure that something happens to you that is far worse then what happened to your partner."
"Please, don't, I have my orders, please. I have a family" Louie tightened his grip on the guys neck, and he moved the gun from the side of the guys head down to his balls.
"Now, wouldn't it be painful and messy if i pulled the trigger?" He whispered in the guards’ ear.
"Parker, Parker told me I couldn't let you go, he says he recognized you, please don't shoot them off." Louie got up and put the gun in the back of his pants. "Why should I, you told me everything I needed to know, I guess I’ll just go shoot Mister Parker instead."
The alarm went off, Louie looked at the back wall and saw that one of the employee's had pushed the alarm button, Louie grabbed Majo by the hand and ran towards the exit of the building.
A large iron fence was slowly lowering itself over the front of the building. “Dam it, hold on Marjorie.” The girl had wrapped her arms around his neck and pushed her face against his chest.
Just before the iron fence had completely cut off access to the outside, Louie jumped against the glass front of the window and rolled over the ground. Bits of glass cut in his skin and he held his hands over Marjories’ neck and eyes to prevent the glass from cutting through her arteries.
They picked themselves up, the people outside looking at them in panic.
"There, over there, by the pub.” A motorcycle stood next to two horses, tied to the strong, wooden fence. “Damn, no keys, we’ll have to grab the horses.” Louie took the strong rope with which they were tied to the fence and gnawed it through with one strong bite from his jaws.
Quickly they strode towards the forest and away from their assailants.


Gary Parker picked up the phone in his office and dialed the number of the Cholmondely & Smith legal team.
"Jack? Gary here, I think we have a problem." Gary took a bottle of gin out of the little refrigerator under his bureau.
He screwed the cap off with his free hand, took a shot glass and poured himself a drink.
"Don't worry Gary, I send three men after mister Bradhurst, he should not be a problem for long."
"It's not him I am worried about Jack, its Lawrence Greenthorpe's son. He was just here with a young girl."
It was quiet on the other end of the phone; Gary used this silence to take a big gulp from his gin.
"I'm sure that someone will take care of him soon enough my friend." Little did Jack Cholmondely know that he was speaking the truth, the hunters were already looking out for Louie.
"...My men for instance, I’ll make sure they go after him when they are done with mister Bradhurst.
"Thanks Jack, I knew I could count on you."
"Anytime pal, still up for that golfing match on Sunday? Jack asked him and he laughed.
"Oh absolutely, you are going down, pal."
Gary looked out of his window, over the town, with the mansion in the background, he hated that building with a passion, the sooner he got rid of it, the better.
