When Nights Becomes Evil.

I was so glad I got that direct flight back patty explained to her mom, Brian is going to be in the hospital for a few days, he is in stable condition for now mom. What happened honey? He was hurt bad along with two other officers trying to fight a murder suspect.

Is he going to be ok? Yea he has a fractured skull and a broken arm. Oh my god, Patty, does Jr know? No I don't want to worry him for now, and I will explain to him when I pick him up, Ok dear be careful going home, I will mom love you.

Well, it going to be a long night thought Steve. I feel like I got hit by a freight train not to mention I hate hospitals. They are always coming in and checking your vitals just as you get to sleep, and the stupid gown always has the back door open. A knock came at the door, and Ezafe stuck his hand in the room, is ok to talk Detective? Yes, come on in I been wanting to talk to you anyhow, maybe you can explain to me what that was that attacked us.

The Strigoi is the living dead he explained, it will comeback Ezafe told Steve. We hurt it and kept it from its victim, it will come back to finish the feeding, officer Shawn is in danger. He is in the hospital here I doubt it will go here it seems to prefer to be in dark secluded places so far. It doesn't matter to the evil one, it thinks of us as sheep. It is a predator other words Steve said, yes, it is like a wolf, and we are its prey said.

I wouldn't believe this a few hours ago, the pain I feel and what I seen changed all that, how can we fight it? Is it like the movies where you drive a stake through his heart or through holy water on him? Ezafe chuckled, those are movie ways to kill a vampire, a Strigoi has many ways it can be killed but what is dangerous about them is their bite. It infects the victim, and they eventually turn into a Strigoi and will only survive on the human blood.

Officer Shawn was bitten so he going to turn into a one? If he doesn't get treated for it soon, he will start turning into one. How do you know so much about these things? My family came from Romania which you know as Transylvanian, our village was plagued by one of those creatures for over three hundred years. My father and I and a group of men finally located is a liar and went in to destroy it.

There was over twenty of us went in my father, and I was the only ones to make it out alive the others were all killed by it. My father had finally driven a piece of a plowshare through its neck killing it. We then cut its heart out grilled it and ate it. YOU DID WHAT! Came out louder than what Steve wanted it to, you cooked it and ate it? What the heck man, you're a cannibal too? No, it is said you kill the creature, and you take the heart out and grill and eat it the creature victims are released to go to their final resting place.

Well, how did you know what to do to hurt that creature? You didn't have a plowshare when we saw you he said in a comical tone. After we killed the beast, I studied the myth and found that sunlight kills them. Well, I study what sunshine was, and the U.V radiation that is in it will kill them. Ok so with black lights we can kill him?

Kill who said the captain? They both were startled and turn to see the captain Murphy standing at the door. Hello sir, we were talking about the suspect that attacked us, I was telling him I thought I killed him, but he beat our a.s.s.

Yea that is something I need to speak to you both about said the captain. We found nine empty casing from your weapon Steve, and we found traces of coagulated blood. There is something I strange about this whole case that just kind of creeps me out said the captain. I know sir, I feel it too, and I think it is headed for the twilight zone myself. I hope not I got six more months to go before retirement and I do not need this crap right now.

Well, Morrison did you, and Mr. Morella see anything that was kind of off about that guy? Well, he was skinny Caucasian and look to be maybe early forties. That what you also saw Mr. Morella? Yes, I saw the three officers were fighting a man by a tree and that one officer went down so I turned my flashlight on and it scared him away for some reason.

You always Carrie a UV light? Yes, when I am looking for worms to go fishing, it seems to bring them out for some reason. I guess so said the captain, anyway I think I am going to call it a night and head home. When you get out Detective, please report to me ok? Yes, sir and thank you, captain, for being here I am sure Morrison and Shawn would be happy to know you were here.

Good night the captain turned and walked out of the room closing the door behind him Steve look at ezafe, I am afraid if I tell him any of this they will lock me up in a physio ward and I never be a cop again. I know modern times have closed there minds to the old knowledge Ezafe said. I will go to now and let you rest I will talk to you tomorrow if that is ok. That is fine Steve said and be careful going home it out there right now, thank you, my friend and god, bless.

Steve laid back on his bed and rested his head on the pillow, a dull throb of pain was shooting through his body now, so he decided the time to go to sleep also.
