Chapter 23 of Velma the Vegan Vampire begins today:
Velma and Muriel eventually found Andy and Sammy at Monty’s. He said he’d gone to Muriel’s first but there were police cars outside so he didn’t hang around. He told them his place had been invaded as well.
“So I went looking for prey but couldn’t find any. I mean, I don’t know where to start. How do you do it Vel? How do you find prey every single day?”
“I wish it were hard,” she told him, “but it usually isn’t. Especially if you plan ahead. Unfortunately serial killers are everywhere.”
There was a pause in the conversation when both of them noticed Muriel was trying to bite her own wrist.
“Ohh,” Andy grinned, “welcome to the team.”
“Keep it together,” Velma pulled Muriel’s hand away from her mouth. “Not long now.”
Desperate for her first feed, Muriel was extremely agitated. She repeatedly flexed her fingers and ran on the spot. “How much longer?” she asked plaintively.
“Just one more hour Murry, keep it together.”
“What’s in an hour?” Andy asked, “do we have dinner plans?”
“Farmer’s market,” Velma told him, “starts at eight but I’m thinking the stall-holders will start setting up an hour or two before that. Hopefully two.”
“Meat stall you mean?”
“Rare breed meats no less,” Velma told him sarcastically.
Andy’s expression of disgust vanished when another thought crossed his mind. “Maybe we should decide where we’re gonna spend the day, before going to the market. Who knows how close to sunrise it’ll be before we’re finished there. It’d be good to know which direction to head in if we’re in a hurry.”
“Good point,” Velma agreed, “but I’ve already decided. We’re going to the freight terminal afterwards.”
“Won’t that be under the sun?”
“Only after sunrise. We get there before that, duck into an empty shipping container and sleep the whole day to somewhere else.”
“On a ship?” for a moment Muriel was distracted from her hunger, “I haven’t got my passport!”
“On a train. A slow train to somewhere dark.”
“Where?”
“Does it matter? It’ll be a long journey so we won’t have to get out until the sun’s gone down. It’ll be a fresh start where nobody knows us.”
Andy felt his pocket. “I’ve lost my wallet!” he said, checking all his pockets again. “I know I picked it up when I got dressed.”
“Have you misted since then?” asked Velma.
“er, yes, I had to mist under the door.”
“You can’t bring anything with you when you mist,” Velma reminded him, “except the clothes you’re wearing.”
“Doh!”
“I haven’t got any money either,” said Muriel after checking her own pockets, “and I didn’t mist.”
“You became the wolf, and then the bat,” Velma patiently explained, “you can’t carry anything with them either.”
“So none of us have got any money?” Andy was a little concerned. “Won’t we need money?”
“Money is handy,” Velma agreed, “but we can manage without it. We have to travel light.”
Muriel was winding her hair around her fingers. “Can we go now? I want to go now. It’s nearly quarter to six.” She pointed at the church clock.
