We all met at Mrs. Danford's barbeque. I let everyone know what I saw about the guy who made off with Karol. I was a little surprised when they didn't just brush me off like the police did. After all, seeing someone pick up a fully grown human and jump a fence and climb a building, while carrying them is a little far fetched, but it's the truth. Apparently Mrs. Danford's husband knew about guys like Gabe (the creep) when he was alive. See, Gabe looked weird, not human. Mr Danford's books identified him as an honest to god Vampire. Weird, huh? We knew we had to find Karol so we went out right away, well, after some research and shopping. Joe actually tracked him across the roof tops. That, is pretty awesome. Unfortunately, due to an unfortunate, uh, decision, the trail was lost, be we were able to find his hidey hole just as the sun was setting. Joe, James, Oz and I went into the abandoned building that Gabe was holed up in. What followed was a real cluster fuck. I will say this, Vampires do not like fire. We had some Aerosol flame throwers that worked pretty well. Once Gabe went down, I remembered a note from Mr. Danford's notes. Look for the rot. The notes also stated that decapitation is an effective method of elimination. I, uh, cut off Gabe's head. He shriveled up and actually looked like a long dead corpse. We found Karol, along with 2 other young women and we got them to the hospital. I will say this for Gabe, he hit hard. I'm going to be a little stiff for a while.

We helped Mrs. Danford look in her husband's work shop in her basement. We found some strange things. Weapons made of silver, and other strange things, like rock salt of all things. Jo found out her dad used to hunt with Mr. Danford. She was a little upset, especially when she found out that Joe was the one that filled the odd cartridges. She had me take her out and show her the rudiments of parkour. That was a lot of fun, and I have to admit, she hasn't gotten any less attractive over the years. She also showed me how to use the crossbow we found in the basement, and she must be a great teacher, cause using it just seemed to come naturally.

I slept great, not long thanks to my late night session with Jo. No not that kind, unfortunately. I taught her the rudiments of Parkour. I realized something while doing it to. I'm a gymnist. A damn good one. Why am I just working as a courier when I could be teaching people gymnastics. I'm sure the pay would be better, and I have enough of a name I should be able to attract students.
Then I found out. One of the women we rescued, Magdalena, died and became a vampire. I would have tried helping to find her, but I was stuck downtown all day waiting for packages to deliver… I need a better job. Maybe, if I can start teaching, we can finally get ahead financially. If I can do that, maybe I could finally afford to take Jo out to dinner, if she'll go that is. *sigh*
Of course, right now we're all in a church, with 4 vampires. One, Magdalena, doesn't know what's going on, the other three want to kill us. So I suppose before I can get a new job and take Jo to dinner, we all need to survive.

We survived. That crossbow is one fine piece of machinery. It takes forever to load, though. Maybe a bow and arrow would be faster. Anyway, we lived and the vampires died, again. Jo and Oz got hurt, though, and spent some time recovering in the hospital. I wish I could tell you more about the fight, it was truly epic, but it happened very fast and I don't remember everything. We're all alive, that's what matters.
