True Bloodthirst Page #3

We bought stock in SanguiTech.

Pharmaceutical company

behind the synth blood?

We got in early.

And no, the irony's not lost on me.

So where are we with our guy?

He stopped moving somewhere here,

in the sewers below the

processing plant in Rahova.

That's where their colony must be.

When you say colony," how

many do you think there are?

Hard to say.

Well how many of you are missing?

Right, hard to say.

You still don't want us knowing

how many of you there actually are.

You're still getting used to the idea

that you know about us

at all. Let's just say

there may be more of them

out there. A lot more.

Okay. We should gear up, get back out.

Not until sunrise. Not

if you want to survive.

I guess patience isn't one

of your virtues, Harker.

Well, it's definitely one of yours.

I mean, without us you'd be

still sipping on cocktails

waiting for someone else to

find your brother for you.

Don't worry about it, leech.

They won't be the first vampires

I've enjoyed killing, just the ugliest.

Don't think I didn't see what

happened back at the club.

You might not have killed

Marius, but you may as well have.

Once this so-called alliance is over,

you and I are going to discuss it.

Really?

Why wait?

Okay, okay. We may

have some time to kill,

but let's not kill each other, yeah?

What? He started it.

Some slumber party.

Did you think we slept upside-down,

hanging from the rafters?

Those things'll kill you.

You really need to worry?

What happened to getting some rest?

I guess I'm just restless.

I can see that.

So your ex, what's the story there?

What makes you think there's a story?

She got sick a few years ago.

Doctors didn't give her long.

I was desperate. I knew she'd say no,

so I didn't give her a choice.

You had her turned?

I knew she'd object, so

I did it while she slept.

She woke up a vampire.

She's out there

somewhere. You'll find her.

You know, the thing is, I wouldn't

even know what to say to her if I did.

I'm sure you will.

That's real, isn't it?

Can I ask you something?

Why do you hate the vampires so much?

Is that a real question?

You could have left

town, like so many others.

People shouldn't have to

leave their own cities.

They shouldn't have to live in fear.

Are you frightened of me?

Yes.

Good.

Is this okay, us talking like this?

Like what?

You know, like a couple of people.

We are a couple of people.

No, I know. That's not

what I meant. It's just...

I know.

Hey.

Hey.

What's it like out there?

If I didn't know better, I'd say

your sister's flirting with Nikolai.

- What?

I'm sure they're just passing time.

Perfect.

I don't know about you,

but I could use a shower.

You coming?

Derricks has involved the vampires.

They're moving on the sewers at sunrise.

Understood. I'll make sure.

The signal stopped moving four

hundred meters south by southwest.

Well, this is nice.

We got enough C-Four to

take out half of Sector Five.

But, I'm sure it won't come to that.

Remember, we want Aleksandr alive.

I'll take the lead.

- Nikolai...

You can't see in the dark.

- That's why we have flashlights.

What am I here for, then?

Bitching, apparently.

Fine. By all means.

A hundred meters this way.

I'm sorry.

I can smell them.

Means they can smell us, too.

From here on out,

silence. Flashlights off.

Harke r?

Wait. My brother is in

here. Let me find him first.

What about the rest of them?

Plant your charges, but

give me the detonator.

Come on.

Come on!

Okay, come on.

Okay, okay. Go, go, 90-

Come on!

Go! Go, go, go!

They're getting through!

Fire in the hole!

They're giving UP-

They'll be back, once they

find another way around.

Okay, we get outta

here while we still can.

No.

- No?

You saw the size of that colony.

There were hundreds of them.

This is our chance to

wipe 'em all out at once.

He's right, Harker. If we leave

now, they'll move the colony

before we get back.

We must detonate the explosives.

You're the one that dropped

the damn thing. You go get it.

Unless it wasn't an accident.

We don't need the detonator.

We just need someone to get close enough

to blow one of the C-Four

bricks. Blowing one of the bricks

will set off a chain reaction to

take out the rest of them, too.

This has the biggest

range. Who's our best shot?

My eyesight is twice

as sensitive as yours.

How do we even know

you're gonna take the shot?

Harker?

- Just cover me.

How close you need to get?

- The door.

At that distance you're

going to blow yourself up.

Let's just get him to the door.

I can't get a clean shot.

We need that detonator.

Let's clear a path. Follow up on me.

Go.

Brother.

No.

Know what you're doing?

Everyone out!

Go! Go!

Go! Go!

Andrei?

Harker, just go!

Something's blocking the door!

Anytime, Harker!

It's stuck!

Here!

Go!

She's gone. They're all gone.

I couldn't save any of them.

Aleksandr is gone.

He gave his life for us. That proves

he died your brother and

not one of those things.

You need to stop hurting

yourself and cover up.

Harke r?

He's a dead man.

He will pay for what he

did to Andrei, I promise.

But right now we need him alive.

Harke r!

You better lock him up

somewhere I can't find him.

What is the meaning of this?

- You tell me.

Lieutenant?

He was waiting for us.

As we took out the colony,

he was waiting to trap us in

there with those creatures.

Vampires are a disease! They have

no business living amongst us.

It wasn't just the vampires,

was it? I was in there.

Please, please, please, please.

Get him out of here.

Okay.

Well, this will be an

embarrassment to the department.

People are dead because of him!

I think we can both use one of these?

Someone must be responsible

for the tainted blood.

Tainted blood?

The black market blood. Some of it's

tainted and infected with something

that alters the vampires' DNA, turns

them into these full-on monsters.

Damn blood dealer.

Now killing the infected won't

stop others from getting sick or-

or changing. We need to find

the source. And who knows

if that was even the only colony.

Colony? There are colonies?

Unless the poor bastard

downstairs is the last.

You brought one here?

The examination room, yeah. I

gotta tell ya, he's a little crispy.

Ah, well. Good work, Detective.

I think any loose ends can wait

till tomorrow. Uh, get some rest.

Eh, one last thing,

what of the Vampirdzhiya?

They're still under

my watch, just in case.

Okay.

I'm gonna take a shower.

- I'm taking a nap.

No, there's no time.

There's not long till sundown.

What are you talking about? Johnny, no.

Wait, what are you talking about?

He wants to go back

to Nikolai's nightclub.

What? Why?

That crypt is one of

the largest in Bucharest.

It could be connected to a

dozen more, for all we know.

But we do know this much, where we

can hit 'em where it's gonna hurt.

After everything we've been through?

Okay, Celeste. Shoot.

What have we been through
