Chapter 8 - The Witness

Nolan was furious. How had his men missed the three women sneaking out the club's back door? He didn't need any witnesses to his crimes. He'd heard the news on the radio about the three women who had escaped. They also said the woman responsible for their escape disappeared before the police arrived.

He wasn't too worried about the two women the police talked to because, from what he heard, they didn't see anything. However, he was concerned about the third witness. Nolan had seen her running from the building when they were loading the trucks, but he didn't get a good look at her.

He knew from how quickly she disappeared that she wasn't human. She must have hidden with the humans while they were rounding the others up. Nolan had to find her before she reported what she saw. He had heard there was a sketch of her.

He could care less about the police because they couldn't do anything to vampires. However, the lycan king would surely come after him if he found out what was being done to the shifters they took.

Nolan ran his fingers through his hair and groaned in frustration. He was over five hundred years old, but this was the first time he had worried about his life coming to an end. He was looking out the window of his New York office, where he pretended to be a legit businessman.

He was feeling anxious and decided he needed a drink, and then he would do a search for the missing witness. Nolan left his office and went downstairs to one of the restaurants in the building. He looked around, and even though it was still early, he saw what he was looking for.

Nolan walked up to a young human woman sitting alone at the bar, eating breakfast. She was pretty and looked to be in her mid-twenties with short black hair. Nolan took the barstool next to her and ordered a coffee. He saw the woman stealing glances at him, and he smiled.

He knew he was attractive with his wavy dark brown hair, tan skin, and blue eyes. Nolan never had a problem getting any woman he wanted, no matter what species they were. He turned toward the young woman and pretended to have just noticed she was there.

"Hello. I'm Nolan. What's your name, sweetheart?" The woman blushed a little when he spoke to her.

"I'm Kelly. Nice to meet you, Nolan." Kelly looked down at her glass with a small smile. She couldn't believe this man was talking to her; he was way out of her league.

"I have a large office upstairs with a fantastic view of the city. Would you like to come up and see it? I promise you won't be disappointed." Nolan rubbed his finger in slow circles on the back of her hand, and he felt her shiver in excitement.

"Yes." She answered a little breathlessly. Kelly wasn't the type to hook up with a random guy, but a man like this had never approached her before. She couldn't wait to brag to her best friend, Amanda, about the hot man she had sex with before work.

Nolan took Kelly's hand and started walking toward the elevators. His coffee remained untouched on the bar; it wasn't the drink he was looking for. Once they got on the empty elevator, Nolan pulled Kelly to him and started kissing her. He forced his tongue into her startled mouth while rubbing his hands over her body.

Kelly moaned in pleasure. She could already feel herself getting wet in anticipation. When the elevator door opened on the top floor, Kelly pulled away and looked around. She was surprised that there was no one there. In fact, it looked deserted. She shrugged it off, thinking it was still early.

Nolan took Kelly to his office. Once inside, he shut the door and took her to the couch. He didn't waste any time with niceties. He quickly undid his pants, letting his large erection spring free.

Kelly gasped when she saw the size of Nolan's penis. She had never seen one so big, and she had a moment of fear that it would split her in two. She quickly got over it when Nolan came over and pulled her skirt up before pulling off her panties. This was all happening fast, but Kelly decided to go with it. You only live once.

Nolan had Kelly lay on her back on the couch. He then positioned himself between her legs and shoved into her in one quick thrust. Kelly screamed out in pain from how huge he was, but as he started moving, the pain quickly faded. He was moving rapidly, slamming into her harder and harder each time. It was so fast that she could barely keep up. Just as she was about to have what she knew would be the most intense orgasm of her life, Nolan said something that made her freeze.

"Thank you for coming up here with me. I needed a drink, and I know your blood will taste as good as your pussy feels." Kelly looked up at his face and saw fangs protruding from his mouth. He sunk them into her neck as she was about to scream, and she quickly passed out.

Nolan continued pounding into Kelly while he drank her blood, even though she was no longer conscious. He came at the same time as her life ended. Most vampires kept stocks of blood to drink when needed because it was against their law to take a human life. However, Nolan preferred to drink the blood of a human woman while he was fucking her so he could get the blood he needed and come at the same time.

When he pulled out of Kelly, he kissed her forehead. She really was a sweet woman. She would go on the list of missing women in New York, just like so many others.

After he had used his private bathroom to clean up, Nolan texted his assistant that he needed him to come and remove a donor. Chad was there in a matter of minutes. He brought a large blanket and laid it on the floor before putting her panties back on and fixing her clothes.

Chad picked her up and gently laid her lifeless body on the blanket. He then wrapped her up and carried her out of the room. Nolan didn't know what Chad did with the bodies, but he didn't care as long as they didn't lead anyone back to him.

Nolan decided now that he was satisfied, he would see if he could find an image of the missing witness online. At first, he had no luck finding the sketch they mentioned.

When Nolan finally found a website that had what he was looking for, his eyes opened wide in surprise. He knew who it was immediately, and it would cause a huge problem. He couldn't just kill Luci because she was Damien's daughter. Nolan cursed and picked up his phone to make a call.

"Did you see who the witness that got away is? We have to decide what to do because we can't kill her, but we also can't let her start flapping her mouth." Nolan was pissed. Why did it have to be Luci of all vampires?

"Yes, I saw who it was, don't do anything stupid, Nolan. You know how Damien can get. If he sees that she was the witness, he will insist on talking to her about it, and then it will be all our heads."

"Silas, I don't care about Damien; I care about myself," Nolan replied.

"I have someone trying to find out where she's staying here in New York so we can have a talk with her. We just have to explain why it's important for her to keep her mouth shut."

"Alright, keep me updated." Nolan disconnected the call and looked out his office window.

"Where are you, Luci?" He said to himself.

Miles away in Vancouver, Canada, Damien and his wife, Alessandra, were up early preparing for a dinner party they were hosting for some of the elite that evening. Damien wasn't big on socializing with the snobs of the vampire community, but Alessandra insisted it was essential to maintain their status.

Damien was sitting in his office working on some details of a merger he was considering when something on the TV caught his attention. He used the remote to turn up the volume and watched with concern.

The news anchor said that over a hundred people were burned alive in a club in Manhattan. While another fifty were kidnapped and taken away in trucks. Authorities didn't have any leads, but there were two witnesses, and the police were looking for a third. Damien almost dropped his drink when he saw the sketch of his daughter on the screen. What the hell was she doing in Manhattan? He thought she was still in San Diego. Angry, Damien picked up his phone.

"What the hell did you do? If anything happens to my daughter, I will kill you all. You better have Nolan call me within the hour." Damien screamed at Silas and then disconnected. If they touched one hair on Luci's head, he would burn them all alive just like they did those humans.
