Julie was left alone in the car by Lugar as they were staking out Butane the very next night. She had fell asleep and woke up to an empty car. This Saturday was just as booming as the last and she knew the place well but she could not help but feel paranoid, hoping Lugar would return soon. A lot of time had passed, but ironically as soon as she decided to cut the tension and stagnation from waking up by turning on the radio, he opened the door.
"Jesus Christ , you scared me, why didn't you wake me to come with you?" - asked Julie.
"Why did you fall asleep?" - Lugar said while reaching over her to turn back down the radio and to look for a watch and gum.
Julie leaned back in her seat and took a glimpse of his body. Smelling his cologne. - "What are you looking for? Have you found out anything while you were away?" -All of her senses were alerted and she was curious in every aspect.
"Not our guy but I want to check out the cameras in the place."- He answered her question more specifically this time.
"How? The place is about to close." - She was not used to a demeanor or character like his.
"You coming?" - He said with a smirk.
Shifting around the side of the building and finding the window to the bathroom that he scoped out previously. Lugar used the aluminum gum wrapper to slide it between the two magnets that were upholding that part of the alarm system and he placed the gum to hold it in place, before opening up the window. Upon entering Julie showed him exactly where they hid the cameras. The room was in an upstairs office lounge area; with the cameras mounted on the wall.
"What time did you get in last night?" - Lugar asked as he was beginning to roll back the cameras.
Juile's arms were folded but she was paying attention , " Try ten o' clock." - She suggested.
" There we go , that is you three right there." - He was excited to find some evidence but ignorant to her post traumatic stress..
"It was supposed to be just a simple night." - Julie expressed.
"And here you are again at twelve , heading to the bathroom like you said."- The camera unexpectedly ran fuzzy for three clocked minutes.
" What is this , come on, give me something." He continued, as he flipped through all of the camera angles and footage, including the alley way that he had chased the leopard jacket vampire into.
The frustration was running deep between the two of them but it was no time to complain. A security guard who was controlling the grounds was announcing himself as he came around the maze of walls. He must have heard their voice because he was heading straight for the office.They all wind up colliding at the bathroom that they broke into.
"What are you guys doing here, the place is closed. We are only strictly available only for our VIP club members and that leisure is not in this wing of the building. " - Said the security guard.
Lugar took control of the conversation quite quickly and opened the bathroom door to the men's room while imitating a surprise look on his face. He kept up the demonstration getting them out of the dilemma," There it is , that is where I left my watch. It is a navy addition. Are you familiar with it?"
"Well still this area is not to be occupied at this time. I'm gonna ask you to follow me please." - Said the security guard as he showed Lugar and Julie their way out.
" Hey, you wouldn't happen to know a John that comes here by chance would you?" - Lugar had to ask.
"Sir I am already showing you respect for your time spent in the navy by not calling the police , that being said I am going to have to ask you to leave." - The security guard was losing his patience.
As they were leaving it was a small clique of people parallel to them entering their jeeps and Suvs. One of them was the leopard coated vampire. Julie tapped Lugar on his shoulder , nodding towards the direction of the glitter. They hopped in the car and followed the crowd to a mansion. The gates opening and closing in front of them.
" What is the plan?" - Julie asked Lugar.
" I do not have a plan. We just wait." - He said.
There were bright lights beaming from the mansion grounds and twirling into the sky. Many cars were coming throughout the night but no one was exiting the apparent party. It was a real show down.
" You know you do not have to stick around for this." - Lugar said to Julie.
" How long have you lived in the area?" - She said attempting to get cozy in her seat.
" No, I mean that, take the car and go back home." - He reinstated his intent for his gesture.
" I do not want to leave you alone and take this car? Especially because my car is still at your place, plus I am the one who tipped you off about the people." - She reminded him.
Lugar was already getting out of the car , " Just leave the keys in the cactus." - He said.
First he watched her drive off before trotting around to the back of the mansion and hopping the cement wall to the compound. Statues and gargoyles surrounded the back walkway towards the out house. Determined with his investigation he found himself crouching below the blacked out ceiling high windows as he came around the corner of the pool. Then, someone opened the balcony above him and he paused under the docked material floor. Looking up at the shadows growing as more people came onto the balcony. He continued to swing to the main compound on the property leaving the back area, going deeper into the unknown grounds. After that he finally saw the man he was looking for going into a room on the second floor of the mansion.
Lugar followed his movements through the glass house into the next room as he met with two girls; who were already playing around on the bed and taking blue pills. The vampire took off his jacket, revealing a major scar on his back and made his way to the two girls. They started to jump on the bed and hit him with pillows before he finally decided to choke one of the girls and pull her in close for a long thirsted and awaited bite; ripping through her pretty and tender skin. Realizing that she and her friend had been manipulated , the girlfriend started to run towards the hallway but unfortunately she did not make it in time. Her head was snapped back and she was also thrived off of by the vampire while she extended her arms for the handle, her feet twitching.
Sitting helplessly was Lugar in his position. There was no way he could have saved the girls. The vampire suddenly ran to the glass before stopping abruptly and noticing Lugar down and far below. Disgustingly licking the glass with his tongue and smearing the blood from his latest victims during the process.
