d**k woke up, he had a mild headache, sitting up on his bed, he tried to recall the events of the previous day, he thought about it and laughed. He was about to discard it from his mind till he saw Suzy sleeping soundly on the other side of the bed, he then realized he wasn't even in his house.
He looked around the room and saw different frames, Suzy alone in one, Suzy with a man, where she was in a wedding gown and the man was wearing a suit and also the man alone in various frames.
Dick got up immediately from the bed and started putting on his clothing, starting with his pants, he knew his luck when he slept with married men, he was usually found out and almost lynched, he had enough escapades in the past to be serious about this.
"Up so early" Suzy yawns re-adjusting her posture on the bed.
"Yes" d**k hurriedly said still trying to put on his clothing, Suzy then looked towards the frame where she was with a man in wedding attires,
"d**k, could you sit, there's something I have to tell you" Suzy said with a more sober look on her face.
Dick looks towards Suzy's direction "where's your man"
"Away on a business trip, won't be around for two days"
"Okay fine, guess it won't hurt to have a little chatter" d**k says with a relief on his face.
"It's about yesterday, i was scared shitless" Suzy said regaining her composure, "I don't know what came over me, it was if I was under a spell, when he looked at me, I couldn't control myself all I just wanted was to please him, i felt like his slave"
"So your Prince charming is a red head who looks like s**t" said d**k smiling
"Not funny" Suzy said adopting a more serious tone at d**k.
"You know, you surprise me, for someone who knows little about creatures of the night, you barged into the room and what you said" the expression on Suzy's face softens, as she was about to smile, she quickly changed her facial expression and said "Was that really your first time."
"Yh," d**k said "I was also scared as s**t, especially at the strength of that shithead but a man's gotta do what he has to do."
"Yh, speaking about what a man should do, you weren't so bad yourself last night". Suzy says smiling.
" Usually, I have the ladies screaming", d**k smiles, "guess I took alotta damage from last night".
"You know, I still haven't properly thanked you for saving my life" Suzy said leaning in closer towards Dick
"Yh and I haven't thanked you for letting me stay the night d**k says with a confident grin on his face. "
"Well, I guess we both even then" Suzy says staring into d**k's eyes.
"Maybe" d**k says. The two stare at each other for a while, d**k then leaned in to kiss and just as he was about to...
"Honey, I am home" came a loud voice from downstairs, Suzy quickly changes her composure "Levi, I didn't hear the sound of your car and I thought you were supposed to be at work"
"Yh, but there was a fire outbreak late at night yesterday and i heard about from the radio, also, a vehicle similar to your's was mentioned " Levi says.
Ooh Suzy says, then turns towards with d**k with a You really had to over-do it expression on her face, d**k gives her a fake grin. Levi continues, "I am coming upstairs, I hope you are alright, darling."
"f**k" d**k thinks as he stands up from the bed, he quickly puts on his shoes. Suzy gives d**k a Get the hell outta here expression and says aloud "Honey, I am coming, just getting into new threads."
She then turns towards the door and leaves, d**k looks around the room quickly, he sees a window
"Must I climb through windows everyday of my life" he mutters to himself as he moves briskly towards the window.
In the background, sounds of smooches between Levi and Suzy could be heard, d**k then moves and trips over a vase on one of the table stands of the room, the vase tumbles over, d**k tries to catch it but too late, the vase falls and breaks on the floor.
"What's that"
"What do you mean"
"Something broke up there"
"I am sure it's nothing"
"Wait here, dear, lemme check it out"
Dick could clearly hear the conversation, quickly, he carried himself over the window, as he looked down, it was about a 14 feet jump, d**k then decided to rest his hands on the window and stretch his body on the other side in order to limit the distance he had to jump.
"Not my six thousand dollars vase" Levi says, then he looks towards the window, blasted pigeons must have gotten in here and broke my glass he continued. He then walks towards the window.
''Wait" called Suzy as she pushes her chest forward and adopts a sensual posture, "I have been naughty and I need to be punished" she continued with a flirty grin on her face.
Levi turns towards her, his sad expression had vanished, he was smiling.
"Let me just shut this window"
Levi says, he then goes there, looks about
"Not a bad view" he smiles aloud as he closes the window.
Dick quickly moves across the street, he had to get to his apartment quickly, Joan knew who he was at least based on the way he spoke, Suzy's husband didn't mention any life casualties meaning it would be safe to assume the two wolves made it
"Blast it, no wonder they are called were-wolves", d**k thinks to himself.
Also he had figured out the reason for the murders in the Hudson family, while he was investigating the reason behind his client's younger sister, all evidence was pointing to it being suicide and according to Suzy's testimony, Joan had the ability to control minds on a fundamental level meaning he was the cause of the younger sister's murder, at least that's what most likely happened, also, he had figured out the reason for the murders, the husband was most likely the main reason, he must have done something to offend those creatures or they needed something from him and they were either killing his family as revenge or a means to blackmail him. This only meant one thing, Mrs hudson will be attacked tonight, she was probably supposed to be attacked the day before but his interruption must have delayed that. Now he had to do two things.
Save his client and also read up on these creatures, they had to have weaknesses.
Dick then stops in his tracks, for some reason, these creatures only attacked when it was night, usually it would be the safest bet as it is the best time to commit crime but Joan had always put on lots of clothing in the day time, when d**k had first seen him, he thought he was just a fag who had been traumatized sexually by various guys so he dressed awkwardly cause he was a pathetic victim but maybe it's cause the sunlight affected him negatively, but it couldn't be the light that really affected him, when he had barged into the room where Joan and Suzy where, there was a fluorescent lamp in the room and it was on, wooden stakes could not be their only weakness as Joan could have easily killed him if he wanted so he needed to think of a more instant way of killing these things.
"What's the difference between sunlight and a fluorescent lamp" thought d**k, fluorescent lamps made use of low-pressure mercury-vapor gas discharge lamps that uses fluorescence to produce visible light while sunlight was practically caused as a result of spectral irradiance of a blackbody at about 6000k. So the only difference was that sunlight was way hotter and possessed ultra violet rays. Ultra violet rays would be the weakness of these creatures at least whatever Joan was supposed to be thought d**k but he didn't have the faintest idea of how to weaponize it and even if he did, he had no tools. Then d**k took a seat on one of the chairs along the road pavements. He realized something again while he was facing Joan, the bullet penetrated his skin meaning their skin wasn't much different from a human's one. He then realized something else, the names Joan called them were names one would give their pet, also they way the wolves chased him, they had acted more on rage than with reason and for Joan to control them, he had to be using something as a leash against them most probably their weakness and it was probably in that building.
"I have got you now, fucktard" d**k shouted aloud, a woman who was walking her dog and coincidentally was at d**k's range of vision gave d**k a disgusting look and said come on Fifi, she hurried over.
Dick stood up, and tried to settle it but the sounds he kept making looked like he wanted to harass her. Just my luck, d**k thought to himself, he then continued on his way.
Soon d**k arrived at the building where he killed Joan the previous day, it was empty, no one was in sight, he then saw the wooden piece of the door he stabbed Joan yesterday, it was still there except Joan's body wasn't, his clothes were scattered all over the ground.
"Could the cops have come here" d**k thought, upon closer inspection, he realized that there was something like black ashes on the ground, also around the clothes and there was no sign of police intervention, if there was, they would have definitely still be there, d**k then moved towards the clothes.
He caught a whiff of the clothes and he shouted "Jesus, why don't you learn to wash"
"This creatures have no personal hygiene," he muttered.
He was about to leave when his eyes saw something shiny hanging from the pockets of the trouser on the ground, d**k picked it up, it was silver and it seemed to be in the shape of a key.
Dick pocketed it, he then entered the building, as he moved, he then realized how unsafe the place was, he constantly kept fearing the roof will drop and crash on his head, he began to check the rooms one by one. He eventually gave up as he could not find any thing unexpected. d**k then stopped.
He begins to brainstorm "okay, that Joan prick ain't very bright but based on the way he handled me last night, he is the type who loves to toy with his victims, he could have killed me straight up but he took his sweet time, he probably enjoys to torture the women he cavorts with, so its probably in the room i saw him with Suzy yesterday" d**k thinks.
Dick hurries over to the room, he looked everywhere then he saw an old lamp stand at the edge of the corner. He moved closer and realized something, everywhere around the lamp was collecting dust other than a knob close, it looked like it was tampered with frequently. d**k moved and pushed the knob, at the far end of the room, an entrance opened up in the wall.
"Jackpot bitches"
Dick said as he moved towards the opening.
Whosoever constructed this building must have been real geniuses d**k thought, the opening opened up into a bigger space, the space looked like a cave, it had lots of ammunition but something peculiar about it was all the bullets were either silver or a bright-blue substance which d**k couldn't recognise. So this creatures are nerds, that explains the bad odours d**k said joking to himself, he then moved towards the ammunition parchment, he exchanged his pistol with another weapon which was designed like the glock 17, he took different ammunition, he noticed that a safe distance was kept between the silver bullets and the blue-coloured substance. Also the silver weapons were fewer and it seemed to have been used frequently.
"So that's your kryptonite" d**k says smiling as he helped himself to packing ammunition.
When he was satisfied with what he had taken, he looked and saw a big sword, it should weigh at least 250 pounds, d**k thought, he looked closer and saw blood around, this must be what cut that child's body d**k said, he then noticed a small opening close to the sword, the opening looked like it was just the right size for the silver key he found outside, d**k then inserts it, he first tried to tilt it left but it wouldn't budge, then he did the other way and he heard a click, he then looked closer and it appeared to be the linings of a typical safe, it was a small safe, d**k opened it,and some paper parchments then fell out, they were letters, he looked at the contents of the letters, apparently Joan was working for someone who kept giving him orders especially on murder missions, also, he probably provided the ammunition and Mr hudson was their hostage, they were trying to break him. he took up a letter, apparently, he was wrong, Joan was supposed to kill Mrs hudson but it was not the day before, it was today, she was going to be kidnapped and tortured.
"s**t" d**k thinks "I have to move."
