and looked up. “Mr. O’Connor, I know you may think I'm just some government official, but I want to learn and help make this revelation work for everyone.”
“I'm not exactly sure what the Vampires thought when they decided to come out and let their existence be known, but they have been self policing since the beginning of time. They are very good at it or else humans would have learned of their existence long ago,” Connor said.
Vincent looked up at Connor with concern on his face. “What do you suggest I do? Just let them run all over the city like wild animals feeding on humans?”
Connor laughed and Vincent scowled at him in response. “I don’t see how this is funny at all. We are talking about the safety of people everywhere,” he sputtered out as he stood up suddenly.
Connor sat up and became very serious. “Listen, Vincent, I don’t mean to scare you, but this is a world you know nothing about. If you’re not careful, it could get you and everyone else killed. You have been given a most important but dangerous job.”
“What do I need to do?” Vincent asked.
“Hire Vampires. You need some good loyal people with inside knowledge; I have a few I can recommend.”
“I can do that. I have been given the go ahead to hire a team. Right now, it’s just me and my assistant.”
“You need to run a twenty four hour operation; daytime people for humans and nighttime people for Vampires. Everyone reports to you and don’t cut the Vamps any slack. Believe me; they will try to take advantage. Make them take a loyalty vow before they begin work. I will show you how so it’s binding.”
“Mr. O’Connor, thank you for all this, but that seems a little bit excessive. I can’t work that way.”
“You must! You have a hard road ahead. I will try and help you but some things can’t be taught. I will give you my personal cell phone number. Call me if you encounter any problems.”
“I appreciate that,” Vincent said thoughtfully.
Connor looked at his watch and realized they had been talking for nearly two hours. “I have other work to attend to. If you would like, we can meet again in a few days, see how things are progressing.”
“Thank you, Mr. O’Connor. I appreciate it. I’ll have my assistant call you.”
Connor stood up and shook Vincent’s hand as he collected his iPad and left the office.
D akarai sat in the club watching Mary work. She looked amazing and sexy and oh so tempting. She spotted him at a table and rushed over to give him a big friendly hug.
“I’m so happy to see you,” Mary gushed, giving him a sparkling smile.
Dakarai nervously looked down at the floor as he pulled away. “I wanted to see you.”
“I get off at three. Do you want to do something tonight?” she asked, hoping he would say yes.
“I have a few things to do, but I can be back at three.”
“Oh, yeah!” Mary said as she jumped up and down.
Dakarai couldn't help but to notice her plump breasts bouncing as she jumped. It immediately made his cock ache and he couldn’t help but think about her in all kinds of dirty scenarios.
Mary looked over and noticed one of her customers needed a refill. “That’s me; gotta go.” She hurried off, back to work.
Dakarai looked down as his phone buzzed. He opened it to find a text from Maurice, who wanted to meet in twenty minutes. Groaning, he threw a twenty on the table and left the club.
Dakarai looked around at the dingy coffee shop in a not very good part of Detroit on Eight Mile road. It sat on a busy corner where the neon sign read open 24 hours. It had a faint scent of cigarettes, remnants of not too long ago, when smoking was allowed at restaurants. He sat, ordered a cup of coffee, and waited at a booth in the corner. He slowly drank from his cup until someone came and sat across from him.
“You must be Maurice,” he muttered after taking another drink.
“Dakarai, a pleasure. We have much to discuss.” Maurice held out his hand, but
