Vampires Page #2

---

of our archives.

A bookworm.

Hes completely familiar with

all your activities, so speak freely.

Tell me what happened.

We cleaned out the nest

near Fort Union.

That night, a master showed up.

No master was ever like this.

Superhuman strength, unkillable,

like a machine.

We didnt stand a chance.

So tell me if I`mm wrong, Cardinal.

Couldnt he be the one we talked about,

the one we knew would come one day?

There are some other developments.

Sad developments.

Tom.

Our Tom Callahan is dead.

The whole European team is wiped out.

- When?

- Three days ago.

Callahans team was clearing

a large nest near Cologne, Germany.

Local authorities reported it

as a terrorist act.

We found this there.

Is he the one?

Yes.

- What is this?

- Celebratum.

Its medievaI Latin for "celebrate. ```

Celebrate this-

Celebrate what?

We dont know.

Ive authenticated the portrait.

It was painted in 1340.

The subjects name is,

was, Jan Valek.

Born in Prague, 1311.

He was a priest...

who turned against the church and led

the Bohemian peasants in an uprising...

actually capturing severaI small towns.

Valek was captured, tried for heresy

and burned at the stake.

But after his death there were reports

that he was seen walking at night.

It was said he killed the living

to drink their blood.

They opened his grave,

and it was found empty.

Its the first known case of vampirism.

A priest.

Valek is not like the other masters

you have hunted before.

Hes the first and most powerful.

Of our slayers, you are the only one...

who faced Valek and survived.

Im going back out.

You mind if I hang on to this?

Ive been in contact with Rome.

The Vatican Council requests

that you rebuild your team.

- There isnt time.

- You are to return to Monterey.

Recruit new team members...

and try again

when you are at full strength.

Father Adam will accompany you

and take the place...

of poor Father Giovanni.

I dont think so.

This is nonnegotiable.

Valek is the original,

the source of the disease!

The first vampire

created by the Catholic church!

- By accident.

- Shut the f*** up!

This was your fight, Cardinal.

Now it is mine.

Jack!

If you refuse to obey the rules,

the operation will be cancelled...

the funding with drawn.

Do you have any idea how this Valek

knows my name?

Stay close to him.

Whats your name?

Do you understand whats happening?

Help me!

Dont f*** with me, honey!

Ill snap your neck like a twig.

Nod your head yes or no.

Do you understand

whats happened to you?

Do it!

All right.

Im gonna explain it to you.

Im going to take my hand

off your mouth.

You scream-

Good.

Now, whats your name?

Katrina.

Okay, Katrina, heres the score.

I took off your clothes.

I cleaned you up.

I tied you down.

I also saved your ass.

Youve been bitten by a vampire.

Do you remember the party at the motel?

Big guy, pointy teeth,

really shitty breath?

Dont worry,

it`lll come back to you soon.

A master vampire has a telepathic link

with his victims.

Youre gonna help us find him.

While hes sleeping,

we unleash on him.

Youre the bait, honey.

Sorry.

I know alI about you, Mr. Crow.

I know that your parents

were bitten by vampires...

and you were raised by the Church,

brought up to be its master slayer.

The truth is, I didnt want

to be forced on you like this.

I was supposed to take over

for Father Giovanni when he retired.

Ive always dreamed of this, ever since

I first heard about the slayers.

I wanted to be part of the team,

just do whatever I could.

For example, if you wanted to receive

the Sacrament of Confession-

F*** it!

Who set us up?

Was it you?

I dont know what you`rre talking about!

If you dont think I`lll kill you

`ccause you`rre a priest...

you are seriously misjudging

the wrong motherf***er!

Go ahead and kill me!

I dont know what you`rre talking about!

I dont.

Well see.

Where are we going?

You have to tell me whats going on.

- Have you ever seen a vampire?

- No.

First of alI, theyre not romantic.

Its not like they`rre a bunch of fags

hopping around in rented formal wear...

seducing everybody in sight

with cheesy Euro-trash accents.

Forget whatever youve seen in movies.

They dont turn into bats.

Crosses don`tt work.

You want to try garlic?

Stand with garlic around your neck...

one of these buggers will bend you over

and take a walk...

up your strada chocolatta while hes

sucking blood from your neck, all right?

And they dont sleep in coffins

lined in taffeta.

You want to kill one, you drive

a wooden stake right through his heart.

Sunlight turns them

into crispy critters.

Got it?

See this map?

This map shows all the encounters

in the United States...

as far back as the 1800s.

- Ive never seen this.

- No one has outside the team.

Look at the southwest.

See the spiral pattern?

If you time sequence all the encounters,

you get a logarithmic pattern...

ever widening.

Its a search pattern, Padre.

They`rre looking for something.

Do you know what it is?

I heard stories when I was young.

Something about a black cross.

About vampires walking in the sunlight.

Padre, can I ask you something?

Yeah.

When I was kicking your ass back there,

did that give you wood?

What?

Did you get a mahogany from that?

Tell the truth.

Im just f***ing with you.

Forget about it.

Oh, Jesus.

What time is it?

You want one?

Youve got to eat something.

I cant.

I wouldnt mind a cigarette, though.

We need to work on this.

The less you eat, the faster the virus

moves through your bloodstream.

Virus?

Yeah. Thats what I call it.

Nobody knows what it really is.

Poison, Kool-Aid, whatever,

it all does the same thing.

Turns you into a vampire.

What happened to the other girls

at the party?

They didnt make it.

Im sorry.

You remember now?

Some.

Why doesnt anyone know?

Nobody wants to know.

Thats how vampires survive.

They`rre smart.

They keep their numbers low, live in

small bands. The world never catches on.

Will I end up being one?

I dont know for sure.

Probably.

Unless we find him before you turn.

Then maybe theres a chance.

Look, heres what we do know.

Youre connected

to the master vampire now.

Hes a part of you,

and this link will grow.

Youll never be able to get him

out of you, not while he exists.

Then I dont want to live.

You may not.

Can I get dressed now?

Sure.

Could you get me a towel or something?

Its not like I haven`tt seen you naked.

F*** it.

Easy. Ill get you a towel.

One towel coming right up.

I wont peek.

Nice try.

Leave the door open.

No way.

A little bit.

- What the f*** you doing?

- Damn it! Let me go!

Look what you did!

You f***ing bit me!

Are you nuts?

Where are you going?

You bite me, huh?

Get up!

F***ing bite me!

F***ing b*tch!

F***!

Goddamn it.

F***ing stupid whore.

Yeah.

Where are you?

Im fine.

Yeah, I`mm fine.

Room 312.

Im coming up. Stay put.

Im Father Adam Guiteau.

You`rre Tony Montoya, I believe.
