Drake sniffed the air, his nose wrinkling with disgust.
“Fuck me, stinks in here dunnit?” He cast his gaze slowly over the
four scrawny vampire youths his team had arrested. Though it was
difficult to tell exactly how old they were, Drake could tell their
leader wasn’t much older than he actually appeared. “So…” He let the
word hang in the air for a few seconds. “What you little bastards been
up to then eh?” He leaned in closer to the leader, glaring at him. It
wasn’t just intimidation; Nick knew he was reading the vampire’s aura
closely, watching for any fluctuations that would give him away. “Taffy,
get the door.”
“Which door guv?” The welshman started to reach for the handle next to the open kitchen door.
“Not that one, fuck sakes, the one under the stairs. See, whenever
you little bastards are doing something,” He addressed the arrestees
formally, like a lewd lecturer at some obscene university, “you’re
always doing it under the stairs. It’s like a little perversion. I’m
sure there’s a word for it.”
“Kinky?” Taffy offered.
“Just open the fucking door.” The vampires took a step (well,
shuffle) back and cowered. “Oh yeah?” Drake glowered. “Know something we
don’t do you?” He grabbed a vampire at random, roughly shoving him at
the door. “Go on then. Clicky clicky, grab the handle.” The boy stood
stock still, trembling. “Fuck sake.” Drake took his hand and placed it
on the handle. “Good this isn’t it? Just like a lucky dip, you don’t
know what you’re going to get… well you do you little cunt.”
The mechanism creaked, then clicked. Suddenly, the door burst open,
throwing the young vampire backwards to smash into the wall with an
explosion of plaster and wood splinters. First came a massive
razor-clawed hand, followed by a long, furry arm. Then, bowing it’s head
to fit through the doorframe, an eight-foot werewolf slowly strode
through, yellow eyes gleaming with fierce malice.
“Well fuck me with a doughnut.” Drake murmured.
“Shit!” Nick cried, wishing he was somewhere else.
“Alright toothypegs,” Drake smiled, his fingers slipping into the
knuckle duster with practiced ease. “Let’s have a go at yer.” As the
monster stood upright, he swung his booted foot upwards, straight into
the werewolf’s groin. The blow had the desired effect. Crumpling, the
werewolf let out a wheezing howl, just in time to meet Drake’s fist
coming. Nick could have sworn the crack actually echoed in the small
hallway, and dodged a couple of broken fangs as they flew past. Looking
down at the unconscious creature, Drake nodded to Taffy. “Cuff him.
We’ll have this one too.”

With the suspects recorded and secured in a police van, Drake and Nick began their search.
