Reaching mr Hardley's house they saw a young man coming out bowing his head he left.
Helping him wear his coat they heard a Knox on the door, opening the door the house butler bowed his head and said " good afternoon but my master left few minutes ago" Poker said " Benjamin take Giwa to the dungeon i will wait for Hardley to return back"
Benjamin bowed his head and left.
Hearing this mr Hardley started walking through the hall way and get inside the secret passageways to hide.
Poker said " secure the house while i go inside" the house butler open the door and said " come in" taking him to the drawing room he said " will you like some tea and snacks?".
Poker said " I didn't come for that and i know that you are lying just tell where your master is, if not i will kill you" the house butler said " I don't know" Poker said " I've known some people like you who likes to lie and your payment for your service is two silver coins and ten shillings".
The house butler said " sorry but what i said earlier was the truth" Poker didn't want to waste his time on this butler reached to where he stood and used his hand to hold his neck.
The butler started to cough, Poker said " is either you did or you live so choose one" the house butler hold Poker's hand trying to free his neck but it's of no use as Poker was a vampire and he is a mere human.
Squeezing more of his neck the house butler decided to choose his life knowing his master is very selfish when it comes to things that he want tapping Poker's hand he said " I will confess".
Loosing his hand the house butler coughed many time before he said " he must be going out from the back door by now" Poker said " choosing your life is more wise than saving your master right?".
The house butler hold his neck to smooth it, he said " can i go now?" Poker said " no until we catch him i need blood to quench my thirst" the house butler bowed his head and said " I will go bring it now".
Hardley who was walking through the secret passageway reached the back door staying there for sometime he decided to open the door.
Poker who finished drinking one cup of blood said " let's get down and hope for Hardley is still at home" going down they walked out of the house.
Poker said " lock the back door" the house butler bowed his head and started to leave when Poker said " three of you should follow him" they bowed their head and followed him.
Reaching where the back door is they dismissed him and guard the door. Hardley who give it some thought decided to open the door.
Opening the door he was greeted by three
men he was about to close the door and run when one of three hold his collar.
Taking him where Poker is, Poker said " thank you for your service your" the house butler said " when will he be back" Poker said " very soon".
