Victor cocked his head in slight confusion, \u201cWhat\u2019d you mean by \u2018seat-of-your-pants\u2019? I can\u2019t say I\u2019ve heard that one before.\u201d Victor patted himself down quickly, running through his mental checklist before grabbing his keys and heading to the door, making sure Summer was following him.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re making it up as you go along.\u201d She followed him out, twining her hair up into a bun and loosening the straps on her cuirasse. Silently, she settled herself into the car, fingers tensing and flexing on her knees. This would be different than her usual work \u2014 probably more combat, and definitely facing an enemy she didn\u2019t know much about. With a little luck, though, her talents would give Victor an edge and wind things up very quickly.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Victor shrugged as he sat down in the driver\u2019s seat. \u201cI\u2019m only making the getting there up as I go. I have the actual battle plan in mind, I jus\u2019 want t\u2019 see the terrain first.\u201d<\/p>\n

The drive, as promised, was short and soon they were face to face with a man who seemed to be in his mid-forties. \u201cHey Jim,\u201d Victor greeted the man somewhat warmly, \u201cwe need t\u2019 catch a ride. I have the coordinates but it\u2019s a day\u2019s drive off an\u2019 we need to get there quickly.\u201d Jim chuckled and shook his head as he said his hellos and told Victor that he could actually take them out now as he was planning on going out for a \u2018joy ride\u2019.<\/p>\n

Victor clasped Jim\u2019s forearm and thanked him as they boarded the plane. The actual flight was fairly short, going for no more than 3 hours. Victor had Jim land at one of the smaller airports in the area and thanked him once more as they got off.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As Victor looked around he saw that the village they were in was perhaps the most populated place in the area with a population of 5000. He also noticed that a majority of the population seemed to be werewolves, they were definitely in the right place. Victor turned to Summer, \u201cDo you want to set up camp a little ways away or get a hotel here? I want at least a day to scope the area and run over the plan together.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“There’s no point in camping out. We might as well have a comfortable bed.” Summer winked slowly at Victor, arms folded as she gazed around. It was … almost eerily familiar. Small town businesses with faded signs, streetlight posts with seasonal decorations between carefully trimmed trees. The hotel was clearly a renovated old house, lovingly kept up.<\/p>\n

It was hard to believe they were there to hunt a vampire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
