My Lonely Duke

Second Mission

Xander POV 

I have not been able to sleep all day due to the noises in the hall. I know that my landlady is up to something but usually she is up and atom at the night. The less amount of sleep has made me really cranky and annoyed at my landlady. 

I call up Sam and ask him to meet at the Bar near his place. He must have been cleaning all day I guess as he sounds tired too. 

I tip toe my way to the kitchen, when I almost scream. The kitchen is clean and I could even smell the fresh lemon soap smell. The utensils are nicely placed and there are even fruits in the refrigerator. 

It feels like my landlady has summoned a witch and got all the cleaning done. Or maybe got herself a Cinderella, that evil step mother. 

In the corner of the kitchen, I see few things which I don’t feel belong there. There is a sack filled with something and sharp knives. I could also see a whip kept there and wonder to myself if she is into b**m. 

I should get her the 50 shades I guess, maybe that would please her.

I slowly pick up some knives and keep them in my bag, I know I should get some stuff from the basement but apparently that witch doesn’t allow me down there. 

One day Xander One day.

I quietly open the gate and move out of the house. 

The town is too small to own any vehicle to travel anywhere still I see a van parked near by, I wonder who it belongs too. 

As I reach the bar, I see Sam with a girl, who from where I am sending looks bored to her mind. 

As I approach him, the look on her face changes and she starts giggling at his every word. 

My eyes wander around the bar and I see the group I was expecting, the Ghost Busters. 

I give Sam the signal and we both move towards the group. 

They all go silent as they see us walking towards them, but that doesn’t stop us. We sit down in the group and I begin. 

“I am Xander, a Vampire Hunter and I need some information” I say 

They all are surprised for a second and then seems to be talking within themselves. 

From the corner of my eyes, I see that Sam looks unfocused on the activity happening here and is still looking at the girl he was talking too. 

I kick him below the table and that gets his attention. 

One of the oldest one starts “ We are in this town since we noticed the count of ghost increasing in this area” 

I am little stunned by his announcement, it is making everything real. 

“So we are sure that someone is there who has made this affect and now that you tell us it is probably a vampire”  he continues. 

Sam looks up with wide eyes. And then looks at me shaking his head no. I know he is scared and to be honest so am I. 

“Damm man I am not able to sleep from last week due to those nagging ghost” one of them complain and each of them nods in response. 

“We are losing a lot of money and it’s difficult to keep track in our files continuously since they keep messing with our systems too” all of them look really frustrated by this. 

“The ghost apparently want to tell their stories and they are most active at nights. To add to this most of them are headless and it’s really tough to talk to someone when they are holding their heads in their hands. “ One of them says

“So let’s try to get this vampire shall we? “ I pitch in 

“Are you sure you could handle it alone?” the one with the bored look says 

“Alone? I have my friend here who would accompany me in this task” but as I look by my side, Sam is already gone back to the girl. 

I punch the table and look at them.

“Yeah I could do it alone, just give me the information” I say 

“Our informants tell us that on Halloween there is supposed to be a party here and the vampire might take advantage of this situation and come there” the oldest one say 

Ok so I have to get myself prepared for the halloween with our without Sam. 

I get up from the table and move towards Sam with the pure intention to steal his girl.
