Andy lightly put a hand on her back, and then they both sensed it.  A cold, still form that lay in repose while the sun still rode the sky.

Victoria nodded, then got her stake ready to send this one to its eternal resting place.

  The person who had become a vampire was dressed in the rags of a hobo, with patches on patches and they smelled vile.  He was also curled up in a ball on a rock ledge.

Victoria hated killing someone who could be classified as an innocent. But when one was infected with vampirism, their only salvation was......death.

And so Victoria would grant that salvation. Albeit somewhat reluctantly, as she plunged the stake into the bloodsucker.

  She hit the ribs, and the hobo screamed, a shrill, high pitched sound that was pure anger.  He began to thrash.

Victoria then did what she could to plunge the stake into the heart, though her strength was nowhere near what Andy's was.

  Andy gave her a light kiss on the shoulder, and whacked the stake, driving it through the bones with a sick crunch, and through the other side.   The vampire stilled instantly.

Victoria looked down on her handiwork. The vampire was still now. Soon to be dealt with.
"I've got to get me a sword. But for now, you're my sword. Finish him.."

  Andy nodded, and his claws once more extended, then he slashed the vampire's head from it's body, and he gave her a gentle kiss before he moved her, and brought the lightning to once more incinerate first the head, then the body.  Making two piles of ash to lie in the cave.

Once the vampire's head and body were reduced to ash, Victoria then looked around, seeing if there might be any more caverns, or possibly any other bloodsuckers that might be hiding.

  Andy stood beside her, but she sensed no more of the undead in the area.  There were some more caves though.

"There might not be any more undead in here, but there is still a lot of unexplored territory. Perhaps there might be something here that will give us a clue as to who is behind this."

Victoria then reached out with her eldritch senses, trying to sense if there might be anything else in this series of caves that might be "magically inclined."

  She sensed nothing else of magical potential in the area, aside from Andy.

"There's nothing else magical in the area, Andy," Victoria replied. "Seems that we might be done here, unless you can think of anything else we haven't covered..."

  He shook his head, and said "Not off the top of my head, unless there's an entrance to the tunnels beneath Weston in these caves somewhere?"

Victoria shrugged.

"I'm not sure. I'm not even from Weston originally, but something tells me that this city has unique secrets that may end up biting us in the ass at a later time."

  Andy chuckled, and said "I'm FROM Weston, and it sounds likely to ME."

Victoria nodded, giving Andy's comment some serious thought.

"Something we'll need to investigate at a later time. You said something about tunnels, Andy? Any ideas as to what was down there?"

  Andy said dryly "Seems like everything that nobody wanted to see again got buried or sealed up underneath Weston.  So we need to find stuff out.  But we have to figure out how to navigate stuff first!"

"True...any suggestions on where to start? Or maybe you know of someone who might be able to tell us more about these tunnels? Or perhaps someone has a map of these tunnel systems?"

  Andy said "I'm thinking that either Don, who is Hunter, or maybe Ethan."

Victoria nodded.

"We'll talk with one of them then. Let's make a mental note to come back here once we have a map.'

  Andy nodded, and said "Hunter's living in town.  I don't know about Ethan, he's a mystery man."

Victoria nodded.

"Sounds like Don would be easier to get a hold of then. Do you know if we have a way of contacting either him or his friends in the Legacy?"

  Andy said "Well, yes, actually.  Since we know who Dragon Fist is, and we know who Don is, we can sorta drop in on them.  But I don't have a cell phone, so I'll use the other route."  And he reached out, tapping into the abilities he learned to use in Hell.
