Chapter 16 of Velma the Vegan Vampire begins here:
Nationwide Crime Agency HQ, London, 08:00 HRS GMT
“Alright, can I have your attention please?” Chief Operating Officer Barry Griff addressed a room of over-excited field agents. “QUIET!” The hubbub came to an abrupt end and he began the meeting. “There were fourteen more vampire kills at the weekend. A shooting party at Highfog Castle.”
“Oh no! At this rate we’re going to run out of aristocrats!” Officer Clair Colt had a dark sense of humour.
“Don’t worry, there’s always more,” Officer Mick Ruddup assured her. “They breed like rabbits you know.”
“Alright!” Barry was annoyed that he had to work with such juveniles. “If you carry on like this you’ll have to stay in at play time!” He glared at everyone present. “Fourteen more people have been murdered and we’re no nearer to catching this vampire! It’s not good enough!”
“Isn’t it time we told people the truth?” Mick asked. “If we told people – they could protect themselves.”
“Out of the question! The fact that vampires are real is top secret! The Home Office is not going to back down on that. They will not allow anyone to dictate how we should live or what we should eat, whatever the consequences.”
“But what are the vampires really asking for? Really?” Mick reasoned. “I mean, animal farming is destroying the planet. It’s going to have to end sooner or later. The more the human population increases, the more we’ll need an efficient food production system, so maybe -”
“They killed the Prime Minister!” Barry’s point of view was unarguable, but he clarified. “You don’t get a say in how we handle this. Our instructions come from the government and are not up for debate. This is the weekly update. You have been given an update that there have been fourteen more murders. The fact that many of those murdered were members of the aristocracy is beside the point; the fact that the victims had spent the day shooting birds is beside the point. There are fourteen more names to add to your list of victims and that is it!”
“Were there any witnesses? Do we have a description?” Someone asked.
“Not yet. Seven staff were on duty at the time but claim to have no memory of what happened. Police who attended said that some of them were still in some kind of stupor when they arrived. They were tested and found to have no alcohol or drugs in their systems so the psych team is speculating that some kind of hypnosis might have been perpetrated. They are going to attempt regression hypnotherapy with each of them.”
“It’s weird,” mused Officer Eric Inkerton, “that the vampire didn’t kill them before they shot the birds. If all she cares about is saving the animals, that would make more sense wouldn’t it?”
“Hmm,” Barry put a thoughtful finger to his lips, “why didn’t she turn up in the morning you mean? Kill ’em all before they fired a single shot?”
Eric smiled. “Yes! Why didn’t she do that? Could it be because she has some other agenda?”
“Ooh, now you’re thinking. Or maybe it’s because she’s a vampire and can’t go out in daylight!” Barry yelled, vanquishing Eric’s self-satisfied smile and warming up his face with a hot blush. “If you have not read your Real Vampires Handbook you do not deserve to be in this room. Number 1: Real vampires cannot go out in daylight! Number 2: Real vampires do not need an invitation to enter your home! Number 3: Real vampires can shapeshift! Number 4: Real vampires have hypnotic powers! Number 5: That’s all we currently know about real vampires so we need to know more! Find out more! All of you! Now!”
