[Colette Coeur]

John Black, Abby, Dr. Lazarus, Sandra Scotland 
Very Old Man, Bastet, Enlightened Scientist, and
Bastet
Lady Sinclair’s Mansion 

There were others. A man sat in the lounge on a
sofa, a full glass in his hand as he watched the
other guests. He seemed bored, and that didn't help
him maintain the illusion of life. For someone like
John who knew what he was looking for, this one was
  easy to spot. Predatory eyes, hungry glances at the
less robust guests. The drink never touched his lips
and he never breathed.
 
Abby opens her senses to the ones closest to her
and John, taking in the sights, sounds and scents.
 
John smiles and begins leading Abby across the room,
leaning slightly in her direction. "They are
parasites, feeding off of others. To become one it
takes more than a simple bite, it takes a specific act
on the part of the parent to "help" a victim cross
over. They are very dangerous, predators." He leans
in closely, whisper in her ear, "Not quite as
discerning as you, my dear."
  Abby laughs softly at this. Her eyes sparkle with mischief. Have you  seen me on the Hunt then?

It soon becomes obvious that the couple are heading
towards the isolated vamp. "What and listen. There
will be a quiz later."
  A Quiz? Abby had always hated those. Still, if this was school, at least she was on a cool field trip.

"Excuse me, but is that you, Charlie?" John offers
his hand, focusing on the tip of the man's nose rather
than making eye contact.
  Tagging along on your arm love
