Ch.5: Bill's Jealousy
Recap:
"Well, well, if it isn't a past lover," Eric said with smirk plastered on his face.
Savannah rolled her eyes, which caught everyone's attention. Sookie was shocked and yelled "Aunty, you know Eric". Before she could talk, Eric answered for her:
"Of course she knows me; we had lots of hot sex," Eric said, smiling.
"That's in the past now, Hello Eric," Savannah said with an annoyed look on her face.
****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
"Well, it's true, isn't it?" Eric said, walking up to her as everyone watched for her reaction.
"I've been with a lot of men, Eric. You should know that," Savannah said with a sly smirk.
Everyone was shocked, especially Sookie; she didn't expect Savannah to say that.
"Ah, yes, of course," Eric said, smirking. Sookie finally decided to talk.
"Aunt Savannah, how do you and Eric know each other?" Sookie said, attracting everyone's attention.
"Long time ago, I will tell you later, after you finish up," she replied softly. They got back to the matter at hand.
"Pam, Longshadow and I are partners in this club," Eric said, circling around Sookie as he talked to her. Her aunt sat one leg over the other in a chair, watching Bill stand not far from her and Pam.
"And we recently noticed that sixty thousand dollars have gone missing from our books. And Brucee," Eric said as he stopped circling her, going to the bespectacled older Caucasian male across from her. He looks scared.
"...is our accountant. Perhaps you can start by listening to him," Eric says, scaring the man across from her.
"So, you want her to figure out who has your money," Savannah said cautiously, looking at Sookie. Everyone could hear her annoyance in her voice.
Eric's sly smirk at her was her response. Sookie focused on the guy in front of her.
"He's not saying anything," Sookie said, looking at Eric. Savannah leans forward, catching both Pam's and Bill's attention.
"What is she thinking?" Pam and Bill thought.
"Don't be coy," Eric said back to her.
Longshadow, behind the bar, passes his hand over the open flame of a cigarette lighter. Savannah watches him at the side of her eye; he is acting too weird.
"It's humbling enough to turn to a human for assistance. We know what you can do", Eric said, catching Savannah's attention.
"When did this happen", She said, standing up and walking closer to Sookie, who tried to say something.
"Maybe later", Sookie said to her nervously.
"And I know what you can do too. Why don't you just glamour him?", Sookie continued questioning Eric.
"Yeah Eric. Why don't you just glamour the poor man", Savannah mocked while looking at him. Eric gave her the annoyed face while Pam rolled her eyes at her.
"Now, don't you think we might have tried everything before summoning you?", Eric said to her, ignoring Savannah. Sookie stares at Eric while Savannah look on his face for lies.
"So...it would be a great favor to me and to Mr. Compton if you help us", Eric said to Sookie, who looked at Savannah.
"If I find out who did it, then what? "Sookie said, looking back to Eric.
"We'll turn that person over to police and let the authorities handle it from there", Longshadow said, looking at Sookie. Savannah scoffs at him before walking back to her chair, not knowing of the other three vampires in the room was watching her hips sway as she walked. She sat down, looking at the scene in front of her.
"Hundreds of years old and you're still a terrible liar. Come on," Sookie said, facing Longshadow. Sookie turns back around in her chair to face the 1,000-year-old vampire.
"I'll make you a deal: If you promise to hand over the person who did this to the police, I'll agree to help you any time you want", Sookie said to Eric as Savannah watch Longshadow at the corner of her eye.
"All right. Why not", Eric said to Sookie as she grabbed Bruce's hand and listen to his thoughts.
Bruce's Mind:
What's this crazy b*tch doing? Why did I agree to work for vampires? damn it, I knew it was a bad idea. I've been nothing but straight with these. You have to be an idiot to steal from them. Jesus Christ, I was the one who reported it!
Sookie stops listening to Bruce's thoughts.
"Bruce, it's okay. Take a deep breath. Did you steal their money?", Sookie said, speaking softly to Bruce, who was scared out of his mind.
"No, no. You have to believe me. I didn't do it. I swear to...", Bruce said, scared for his life.
"Shhhh. Do you know who did?", Sookie softly said to Bruce.
" No", Bruce said to her.
Bruce's Mind
No, I wish. I would turn that in. Who was it? I couldn't have been Ginger. She's too dumb. Although she's hot,. I'd give her if I could.
Sookie looks up to Eric. Savannah watching closely, her hand on her thigh grasping her silver knife.
"He's tellin' the truth", Sookie said to Eric.
" You trust the skinny human to clear the fat one?", Longshadow said to Eric, making Savannah turn her head, catching Bill's and Pam's attention again.
"I would watch my tone there, boy," Savannah said coldly with authority that Sookie saw at the church. Longshadow scoffs at her for focusing on Eric, who watches with amusement. Pam started smirking while Bill felt jealousy watching her defend Eric.
"Bring the next one in," Eric said to Pam.
A look of relief falls over Bruce's face, and he cries. A wedding band is visible on his left ring finger. Pam leads a blond woman holding a lit cigarette to Sookie.
"This is the last of our humans," Pam said to Sookie.
"Hmm. Yummy," Ginger said, looking at Sookie up and down. Pam seats Ginger and also puts out her cigarette.
"Ginger. This woman has some questions for you. Now, be a good girl and answer them, will you?" Eric said to Ginger. Savannah looked at him with disgust on her face, not knowing Bill was watching with jealousy.
"Aye, aye, master," Ginger said to Eric. Sookie reaches out for Ginger's hand, and Ginger takes her hand away.
"Don't you touch me," Ginger said, looking at Sookie. Savannah's hand reached for her silver knife, grabbing the metal.
"Hold her still," Eric told Pam. Pam walks up behind Ginger and places her hands on Ginger's shoulders. Sookie takes Ginger's left hand into her right.
"Ginger, someone's been stealin' money from the bar," Sookie told Ginger as everyone watched. Savannah, watch Longshadow with caution.
" Really? "Huhn," Ginger said back to her.
Ginger's Mind:
Don't look at me, you bitch. I didn't do anything. I'll beat the hell out of you if you say I did. It wasn't me that took it.! It wasn't me.
Sookie looks up toward Eric and Pam.
"She didn't do it, but she knows who did," Sookie told them.
"WWhat? You," Ginger said to her, shocked.
Ginger's Mind:
How'd she know? I didn't tell anyone, I swear.! He's going to kill me!
" Who? Who's going to kill you? Ginger, honey, what's his name?" Sookie said with a soothing voice. Smoke rises from a burning cigarette. Ginger does not answer.
"It's blank, like her memory's been erased," Sookie told them. Ginger looks up toward Eric and Pam.
"I don't know anything, I swear," Ginger pleaded with Eric and Pam.
"She's been glamoured," Pam said.
"It's a vampire," Sookie said with acknowledgement.
Longshadow jumps over the bar toward Sookie and exposes his fangs, and with a quick flick of the wrist, so does a beautifully made silver knife.
