strange. Well, he told me that I didn’t have to do what I was doing. Then he handed me this little clear rock and told me if I closed my eyes, I would see a different way.”
    Dash opened the fridge. “Sorry I need a bit more.’
    Nicole turned away so she didn’t have to see him drink. “Isn’t that awful?” she asked.
    “Oh no … with my recipe, it taste just fine refrigerated. I been trying to get the others to catch on to it.’
    “Anyway …” Nicole reminded him about his story as she glanced at her watch. It was getting late, and she wanted to catch up to Alec when she was done talking with Dash.
    “Well I did close my eyes like the little guy told me, and it was like I was somewhere else. I was in the light. It was a place like here … but where there were creatures of all types. But no vampires.”
    Dash paused a moment before continuing. “He was there with me … it was like real magic. I asked where all the vampires were, and he said that vampires couldn’t be there because they had been banished thousands of years ago. The next thing I know, I was back, and the little dude was gone. He slipped right away from me.”
    “Dash, do vampires use drugs?” Nicole asked. It was a fantastic story, maybe a little too fantastic.
    “You see! That’s why I don’t tell anyone.”
    “Well you have to admit it sounds a little farfetched,” Nicole told him as she got to her feet.
    Dash shrugged his shoulders. “That’s the story.”
    “Where can I find Omar?” she wanted to know.
    He started laughing so hard, he was nearly doubled over. “No … tell me you are not thinking of going into Omar’s nest. A bit of a girl like you?”
    “You could help me if you want,” Nicole told him with a half smile.
    “Well now …I have a lot a work to do here.” He motioned to the chair she had been sitting on.
    “Dash … can I ask you a question?”
    “Guess that would depend on what it was.”
    “When did you turn?” Nicole found Dash fascinating and she wanted to know more about him.
    “I can’t remember a lot before I turned … but it was in the 80s.”
    “What’s it like to be a vampire?”
    His mood turned somber. “She wants to know what it’s like.”
    His laughter was again dark - with just a hint of danger in it. “You are cold … always so cold. And there is the constant hunger. For those of us that crave the light, it is eternal hell.”
    “I’m sorry. You seem like you could have been a nice guy … before you turned,” Nicole told him.
    “What do you mean before I turned? Lots of people think I’m a nice guy now.”
    “Of course, I just figured since you feed off of blood … that might be a bad mark.” Nicole tried to lighten the mood.
    “Well there is that,” he said, his face twisting into a harsh grimace.
    “Thank you for your story. It really was interesting.”
    “What’s your name girl?” Dash asked her as she was leaving.
    “Nicole,” she told him.
    “Well Nicole … do yourself a favor and don’t go looking for Omar. He will kill you without a second thought. Your friend is a lot better at taking care of himself than you are,” he advised.

    Nicole spent the next hour looking for Alec.
    She went to the club, and though the other band members were there, Alec was absent. After leaving the Dark Wind, she drove by the house that he’d taken her to the night before. There wasn’t a single light on.
    She should have been waiting for him when the sun went down.
    Nicole was left with nothing to do but go back to the office or home. She didn’t think she could sit around at home - knowing Ethan was in danger, so she went back to the office.
    Maybe he’d left some clues in his office?
    She had no doubt that Ethan would have been tracking Omar, if he was as dangerous as everyone claimed.
    When she walked in, she was only slightly surprised to see Alec sitting in her chair - his legs propped on her desk.
    “It’s about time you showed up.” He glared at
