Once again Van traveled the darkened streets, very near to his destination now. What was strange, was that he was now in one of the most populated areas in the city, before the incidents of course. The entire situation didn't make sense...This person was involved in whatever happened at the warehouse, whose workers were slaughtered, judging by the blood. But even then, the "workers" didn't seem to be normal either...They seemed to have been carrying guns during the incident. The motorcycle slid to a stop in front of what looked like an apartment building. Stepping off the motorcycle, Van growled in annoyance, once again not trusting the looks of this place. Though the other had been empty, he might not be as lucky this time...
Walking up to the door, Van turned the handle and threw the door open, gun drawn, but was greeted with nothing but silence. The ground floor resembled anything but an apartment building, no checkout counter or anything of the sort around the large room. Moving forward, he saw both two elevator doors as well as a staircase. But the staircase went both up and down from this floor, which was slightly strange. Knowing checking the upper rooms would be pointless, Van decided to investigate the lower floor, hoping to find something of interest there. Stepping carefully down the steps, Van found, to his surprise, the bottom floor illuminated by a few lights hanging from the ceiling. Looking around, the area was carpeted for the most part, but near the back it was dirty and destroyed. And, which didn't surprise Van in the least, the floor was covered in blood, and yet no bodies were present. Van began looking around, seeing a few papers thrown all over the ground, most of them torn or...charred, which was even more strange. Picking up a piece of paper, Van brushed away the dirt on it, only able to see the top of the paper, which read "Demon" and "Don't let it win"....
Slightly disturbed by this, Van continued to read, only to find that this paper was being written as the person or people were slaughtered...evidence of this being the pen suddenly making a line in a random direction, until it reached the torn part of the paper. Tossing the paper aside, Van suddenly whirled around, gun pointed a figure near the staircase. "I didn't think you would poke your nose into my business...Seems I should've killed you myself, to avoid this mess..." the figure said, its face once again hidden by the hood, which was a part of what looked like a long hoody-trench coat cross. "I guess I couldn't help myself...After all, you seem to have a very interesting life..." Van growled, gesturing to the bloodied floor. "The expendable being terminated, nothing to make a fuss about...." the figure said calmly, ignoring the fact that Van was pointing the revolver at its head. "I am too busy to deal with you now...no...I don't think you'll die yet...You could be of some use to me..." it said, chuckling, a sound that sent chills up Van's spine. "You are alone now...I doubt your new friend will have the time to get in my way now...I made sure of it..." the figure said, turning and walking up the stairs. Van blinked as it reached the middle of the stairs, and in that instant, the figure was gone.
In its wake, a piece of paper fluttered down to Van's feet, the vampire hunter reluctant to pick it up. Eventually deciding it wasn't a trick, Van picked up the paper and turned it over, seeing only one small bit of writing on it; an address...and a familiar one at that. Drake's mansion...
