Hunter POV.
“I’ll be going,” I say leaving the office and trying to get my baby to say bye or at least give me one last hug, but she wasn’t moving from Dylan’s lap, way too happy about being there with him.
“Benjamen, I’m moving,” I say to my coworker, I have made it down to his office to tell him I’m leaving, he could take all the paperwork off my shoulder and off to someone else.
“Good luck, enjoy the interviews,” he says and I groan walking toward my car, interviews, I’m going to determine who’s the one that’s worth coming into the academy and I got to run backgrounds, first I’ll do the personal interviews and check their papers everyone was scanned, and we’ll do some deeper dive if needed.
I got in my car and started driving, it’s not that near, the headquarters was far from work, and when we took over I thought that I wouldn’t have that drive all over again, but sadly I had the job and it’s over there.
I turned some music on to keep me entertained while I drove, I loved the old rap music and the new one, there’s a new Eminem, he was right, there are a million people just like him who rap and swear like him, and this is one of them and he’s very interesting, I loved him. I sang the whole drive there, keeping my phone on the whole time, waiting to hear it ring, hoping that my girl or mate would call me and check on me or tell me that they missed me already, but no luck with them two, one was busy with his work and the other was busy with her uncle ready to take over the world.
I finally made it there, I turned the music down and waited over the gate to be allowed in, they had to scan my face, name, and my ID three times before I was allowed in. I parked my car and walked inside the building, I hardly did any work in there, I was only called a couple of times when we had the takeover.
“Hello,” I say my hello to the receptionist.
“Good morning Detective Black, Victor will be with you in a minute,” she says and I nod, going to take a sear waiting for Victor.
He’s one of the guys that run the place around here, they are one that keeps the whole place running, this is our headquarters, the place we go back to, but it’s in a bad place, it’s not in the best location, it’s one that hasn’t been fully cleaned out of the radiation, it’s clean enough for us to be around, but it’s not the best and we should be moving into the middle of the city soon.
“Detective Black,” Victor says coming toward me with a human glued to his hip, tears going down her face.
“Victor,” I say shaking hands with him.
“Excuse us for being late, someone wasn’t too happy about their nap being interrupted,” he says meaning the girl on his hip.
“You don’t have to worry, I left my little one with Dylan,” I say.
“Dylan, good luck in getting her back,” Victor says with a chuckle, we both know that he doesn’t like giving us our little ones back.
“Thank you, now where do we begin?” I asked him and he just chuckled.
“Right into business detective,” he says.
“Please call me Hunter,” I say with a nod.
“Right, Hunter, right this way,” he says showing me to another room, it looks like an interrogation room nothing like an office that I expect to have.
“An interrogation room?” I ask him out loud.
“William said we need to make it look real, and this is the most realistic one we could find,” Victor says.
“Real to what?” I ask just to be sure what they need me to do.
“To make the potentials know it’s serious and real, and we’re not messing around, hence why you’re here,” Victor explains.
“Okay, deal,” I say taking my seat, should I go out and come back in with a cup of water or coffee?
“You have a series of question you could ask, add yours of course, but we need you to be sure of the people you have in front of you,” Victor says, I looked at the questions list and read through it.
I ignored the first ones and went with the more important ones, these are questions for the ones that want to have a little, not for one who got a little already.
“You have a little, I don’t see why I should ask you about that,” I say noticing that Victor has taken a seat facing me.
“Well it’s meant for the ones that don’t have a little yet,” Victor reminds me and I roll my eyes at him, I didn’t want to be here, I wanted to be home with my baby or at work trying to get her out of Dylan’s arms.
“Fine, get them here,” I say with a sigh.
“Shouldn’t you interview us?” Victor asks.
“Go get your girl some milk or something, and tell the first victim to get in,” I say and he just laughs, he knew I wasn’t here by my own will.
“They’ll be right here for you detective,” Victor says finally leaving the room, I should’ve gotten a coffee or water or something else to drink, but too late now.
The vampires that came in looked different, each one had their own personality, some looked happy to be here, others were very calm, I had to ask them all the same questions and listen to their answer as I checked their background check.
“So tell me what’s your name?” I asked each one that came in, it’s the first question on my list and I was here listening to their different answers as they blended.
“Darjin Veleburs,”
“Alex,”
“Katalina,”
” Calesti Lakair,”
“How old are you?” I asked next, we don’t want very old vampire, or maybe we don’t want extremly young ones, I wasn’t sure what we’re looking for, I’ll have to check with Logan, I thought to myself as they all answered me.
“Whatever you want it to be,”
“Two Hundred,”
“I think it’s around five hundred, I have lost count a couple times,”
“Three hundred and twenty eight years and three months, and two days,”
“Now tell me how often do you need to feed? Are you safe being around humans all day?” I ask them, that was a good question, I did pay some attention their answers when it came to that one.
“Weekly,”
“Once or twice a week when I get blood bags from the hospital or blood drive,”
“Every couple days, I can go longer or shorter, it’s more about being bored than hungry,”
“Every other day,”
“What’s your code?” I ask, although I believed I should only be interviewing the blues.
“Black,”
“Green,”
“Blue, I’m a brat tammer but you don’t have a code for us,”
“Code Blue, mister,”
“Getting a human, it’s different than getting a pet, they need attention love, and you know they are prone to dying and we don’t have many of them left, why do you want one? Do you think you deserve one?” I ask them, it’s a very vital question, having Angel completed us, she was our missing peice and now we’re perfect.
“I need a precious little human! It’s vital to my survival! Please please please!”
“I deserve one, I need one it’s very important that I get a human, a precious human,”
“I’m a bored brat tammer, I need to have one and I’ll save you from brats,”
“It’s fairly important to me that I get a human, I’m very lonely,”
“What’s the first thing you’d do after having your human?” I ask, it’s a stupid question, the first thing we needed with Angel was explaining the rules and then having her throw a tantrum, so good luck for the ones who got high hopes.
“suck them dry” he whispers then says out loud ” I mean we’ll go out to eat icecream,” very intersting.
“Take them shopping and make them feel like a princess,”
“We can get some toys, maybe they’d throw a tantrum and I could show them who’s the boss,”
“I’d like to cuddle them and relax,”
“Fine, now tell me where do you see yourself in fifty years?” I ask them.
“Bringing the world to its knees as i sit upon my thrown with my little human beside me,” we already took over the world, who’s gonna tell him?
“With my human that’s not a human anymore because I turned them,”
“I’d be sitting in your place of course, you would be begging me for the job,” someone has to tell her that this isn’t a job interview.
“Helping my mate with their hopes and dreams,”
“Humans are rude, loud, and they don’t respect the vampire boundaries, your human just called you a blood sucking monster, what’s your answer?” I ask, on a scale of a monster to a killer, where do you stand in other words.
“I play into their fear. I go in close. I tackle them. I pin them down. I drink their blood. I leave them at the brink of life. I call it mercy.”
“Yes little one I am a blood sucking monster but I am your blood sucking monster little one,”
“I am one thanks for noticing good job gives them a lollipop,”
“i would ask if they’re ok…” she says sounding like she’s gonna cry, I was pretty sure she’d cry.
“What if you pick a human and they reject you?” I ask them, some had my full attention, their character are so different, they’re throwing me all over the place.
“They won’t reject me, it wouldn’t be the best decision to. If i want someone they will be mine,”
“I would be mature about it and let them leave and then cry in my room whenever I have free time until they come back, or the other one comes over,”
“That’ll be sad, so much lost potential,”
“Disheartened and worried,”
I finsihed my questioning, leaving marks next to their names, Darjin Veleburs, he’s one that got me worried, I wasn’t sure if we should allow him in or send him to the nearest asylum, I told him to get out of my face and he smiled at me, blowing a kiss at me mouthing ‘See you soon,’ that was diturbing.
The next potential for the day was Alex, when asked to leave he simply got out and left, he’s a good potential along with Katalina, she too left right away without throwing a fit or anything else.
The final one, Calesti, she’s not a dom, I could tell she’s not near being a dominant, some of us are submissive, not every vampire is a dominant, some of us are submissive, not too heard of but not that weird either, I left a note next to her name saying she might be a submissive or maybe a switch, she did a small curtsey leaving the room leaving me alone to finish the paperwork, and this was only day one and I still have three days of this, I groaned to myself.
(Thank you Hydra, Bratty, Thalia, and baby Calesti! they are the ones who answered the questions and helped me finish the chapter! I love all of u, especially Hydra, you added all the spices we needed)
