Helen lifts up her newest pets face from the floor, "Stand up."

Casey doesn't fight the order and stands. He knows that if he disobeys his mistress that he will be punished. He has no doubts that he'll be punished far more harshly after what he did to her earlier.

"Are there any other hunters hiding in plain sight like you? Or do you know of any other hunters hiding nearby?" Helen demands and Casey licks his lips. Tears once more falling as he betrays his fellow hunters to save himself.

"Yes, there is an old house two up from mine, there is a group of about twenty of them that have taken refuge there. There are a couple of pregnant females and a couple of young children." Casey looks down in shame he is volunteering information that hadn't been asked of him.

"Very good, my pet." Helen strokes him. "Is there any other information that you can give us?"

"There are other survivors coming next week. I am to meet them at the train station and escort them to the safe house."

"How many? What more do you know?" Helen asks continuing her touching.

"About them nothing, but that they are coming." Casey says practically begging her to believe him. Helen looks to Natalia to verify her words.

"He's telling the truth, he knows nothing more, but if he doesn't do certain things then they will know something is wrong and won't come."

"Then, my pet, you will do everything you have to to make sure that you will bring them to us. Then you will watch as they are taken and used in front of your eyes." Casey cries tears of agony even as Helen finally allows him his release.

Helen leans up and gives him a kiss. "I think it will be very beneficial for you to keep your job at the police station." 

Nikolai looks at her in approval, "Yes, I think that will be the best place for him at this time. He will be paying for what he did to you each time he has to betray his people by bringing them here."

All the vampire's in the room are very satisfied with that punishment.

The lawyer had been doing his best pretending to be invisible and had hoped that it was working but when Nikolai turns to him he knows that he failed. He sighs not believing that he will be allowed out of there alive. He knows he won't be given the option of becoming a pet.

"You were warned about not answering when a vampire calls. I was very clear about it and I know that I gave you a second warning when I gave you Helen's number. So tell me, I want one just one good reason why I shouldn't kill you slowly and painfully for what you caused to happen to Helen."

He swallows multiple times but still feels like he can't  breathe or speak. He  lets his eyes dart around the room looking and praying for inspiration. All he finds are the two naked people that played a  part in his downfall, but he can't blame them. He's the one that didn't answer his phone.

He turns his eyes back to Nikolai and stands up straight. "I have no reason to give you. I know that there is none good enough. It is my fault that Helen was harmed and take full responsibility for failing my instructions."

"Nikolai, he failed this time, but we can't afford to look for a new lawyer. Things are too delicate at this juncture. We need him. Once this plan has finished phase three then you will have time to take care of him." Sebastian gives Nikolai a warning and Nikolai halts the slap he was going to give the lawyer.

The lawyer doesn't dare even be curious about the plan. 

"You've been given a reprieve. You better use this time and make sure you remind me just how much I need your help. You have until phase three is concluded."

"H-how long will that be?" The lawyer stutters out.

Nikolai shrugs his shoulders, "Any where from weeks to months. It won't take more than two months at most now."

"Very well, my lord."

"King, Strickland, king. Don't forget it again."

Natalia goes over to Nikolai and gives him a kiss to calm him down. It only partially works.

Sebastian tosses Strickland the phone with the photos. He flicks through them and he becomes sick. "I'm beyond sorry, Miss. It's my fault that you suffered this." He pockets the phone, "I'll be making up the complaints against the police department as soon as I get back to my office. Are there any witnesses to any of the roughing up outside of the police department?"

"Yes, it started at my school. There were many students some even came to my aid." Helen says and Sebastian is typing away at his lap top.

"Will this help," Sebastian says smirking showing the social media page.

"Perfect." Several of the students had posted their photos of the incident with Casey. Her injuries are plain to see. There were even several of Casey being handcuffed and read his rights and being loaded up in a police cruiser. A few helpful folk even got the police officer handing her the information about the case that has somehow disappeared from the police data bank.

"You gotta love social media." Strickland smirks as he goes through the photos that had been uploaded earlier that afternoon.

"Yeah, you gotta love it," Nikolai says sarcastically. It's partly trying to do damage control when they come out that he's doing this plan in the first place. He'd always intended on bringing his people out, but social media is both a hindrance and a help. He thanks the vampire craze, if it weren't for that they would have been forced to come out before he was ready. Now, thanks to Zarin things will go much smoother for them all.
