Chapter 7
Jenos gets up at 6 am and gets ready for work. He goes through his daily routine, and starts his work in the usual manner. However, at work, around midday, something unusual happened.
The bank president goes and sees him. His blue eyes have a funny glow to them, almost like he’s not really in there. “Jenos, I need to speak with you, privately.” Jenos shrugs and follows the president into his office. The president takes a seat behind his desk and rests his hands on his corpulent belly. “I have heard that you have been bringing in unauthorized weapons into the bank, I demand to know why.”
Jenos sets his jaw. “I brought them for my own personal protection. And it was a good thing to, I was attacked last night on my way home after work.” The president looks at him. “Really, so you don’t have them in the event that the bank would be held up?” “I highly doubt that it’d be robbed, but I’d use them if it came to that.”
The president leans back in his chair. “You have too much fire in you my boy. You need to relax. So, I’m going to authorize you to a paid vacation. Have you ever been to Germany?” Jenos shakes his head, understanding completely what is going on here.
In her study, Mackenzie is speaking and acting for the president. “That’s all right, you’ll enjoy it there, I’m sure.” She commands him to write the note down, that Jenos is on leave for two weeks in Germany, paid for by the Bank. “Well Jenos, I hope that you’ll come back refreshed and feeling more relaxed. Oh, and you are to meet me at 8 pm at your place. Don’t bring your weapons, we’ll acquire more efficient ones when we get there. You may have the rest of the day off.”
The president stands up and shakes Jenos’ hand. “Until you return my boy.” Jenos leaves the office and walks out of the bank and heads home. He makes himself a ham and cheese sandwich and eats it as he tries to relax.
At a quarter till 8, there is a knock on Jenos’ door. He opens it to find two detectives at his doorstep. “Hi, we came here because we have received multiple calls from your neighbors, saying you have a large weapons cache. We have to come in and inspect your house.” They start to walk into his house, but Jenos puts his arm in front of them. “You aren’t entering my house unless I see a warrant. I do have weapons, but not a cache of them.” The detectives look at each other. “Sir, we believe that you are a risk to the safety of America, you will step aside now.”
Jenos stands completely in the way. “No. I work as a guard in a bank, they would know whether or not I’m a threat. Now show me your warrant, or walk away, or I’m going to throw you off my property.” The detective on the right looks at the one on the left, and he hits Jenos in the face. They rush in and Jenos grabs them and throws them out of his house and into the street. “And stay the fuck away!” He slams his door and locks it.
Jenos goes to his room and chants a spell to conceal the location of the weapons cache and their activation buttons. He then makes one last check on his stuff. When he opens his suitcase, there is a letter in it. It read,
Jenos, there has been a slight change of plans, meet me at my place. The detectives were controlled by me, so they won’t remember what occurred. I just had to make sure that you hid your weapons well and that you’ll read this letter. For a two week trip, you sure are a light packer.
Mac.
P.S. You’d better hurry, you have till 8 before I leave, with or without you.
Jenos quickly made sure everything was in there, and that nothing was added. He zipped the suitcase up and tore out of the room. He stopped at the roses he moved to the kitchen and smelled them. Then, he ran out of his house, making sure he had locked the door.
At one minute till 8, Jenos shows up at Mackenzie’s complex. She is standing outside waiting for him with her own things packed. Somewhat out of breath, he bends down and rests with his hands on his knees. “Well, I’m here on time.” Mackenzie sneers at him. “When someone says they leave at 8, that usually means that you get there at least five minutes beforehand.”
Jenos glares at her. “Well, it would help if you told me some other way than to send some cops over fifteen minutes ago.” She smiles, “Whatever. We depart immediately.” She closes her eyes and bows her head. “Time and space, merge as one. Let us cross thy barriers. Away, to Germany, away. Where the wolves lay, shall they soon die. Let us cross, deny us not.” The area around the two begins to fade into black, then it fades into a forest. They have arrived in Germany at 3 am local time.
Mackenzie starts walking down to the road, with Jenos right behind her. “Do you know where you’re going?” She nods. “Yes, there is a Tavern and Inn not too far from here. We will wait there for my cousin to arrive and bring us to his place.” “Ah, so is your cousin…” “A Vampire? Yes he is. Come, we have quite a bit to walk still, and I want to be at my cousin’s by sunrise.” Jenos shakes his head and follows her. Neither is aware of the two yellow eyes that watch them from the shadows.
