Grayson had to speak to Linc's parents. Linc called them but they weren't coming. They wouldn't give him a chance. His dad barely talked to him on the phone. Grayson was not okay with that.

He drove to their house and knocked. He was talking to them whether they liked it or not. The door opened and Mr. Cordova was there.

"How can I help you?" Matt Cordova asked. He had no idea who this person was but he was wearing hunter gear. He was a Ukase.

"Hi. I'm Grayson Larsen. May I have a word with you, Mr. Cordova?" Grayson had to get in the door.

Matt nodded. "Are you here about our son?"

"I am. Please." Grayson looked concerned.

"Come in. We can put an end to this once and for all." Matt let Grayson in and led him to the living room. "Please, sit. I will get Michelle."

Matt left and came back with a pretty woman. She was watchful. "Mr. Larsen? What is this about?" Michelle sat.

"Please, call me Grayson."

"I'm Matt and this is Michelle." Matt nodded. He didn't know where this meeting was going.

"It's a pleasure to meet you both. I am friends with Linc. I just wanted to talk. I know that Linc wanted to have dinner and talk with you." Grayson started.

"I don't think that is a great idea. I don't want to be eaten by a vampire! I can't believe my son is a vampire!" Michelle was so scared of vampires.

"He is but he is the same. You have to understand that. He invited you to dine with hunters, you would not be alone with him. I would be there too. I was his partner for seven years and I hope to be again. He wanted to start hunting again but he wanted to get his life in order and straightened out." Grayson sighed. He figured this wouldn't go well.

"Just so you know, he didn't send me. He has no idea I'm here. I would like to keep it that way for now. He's a good man. You raised a good man." Grayson wanted to say that.

Matt sighed. "So, have you talked to him?"

Grayson stifled a laugh. He had slept with him and loved him all night. Every time they got together. "Yes. We have talked a lot and practiced together. I was there when he called you. He really wants to see you. He loves you and knows this isn't easy but he is still Linc." He sighed.

Matt sighed. "I don't know. I don't want to put my wife in danger. I hated that he wanted to fight vampires in the first place! I knew this would happen."

"He was a very talented Ukase and he still is. It's in his blood...I mean before. He is a legend and you both should be proud. I am." Grayson knew they wouldn't bend.

Michelle sighed. "I saw him once. I went to that Rehab place. He asked me there. I saw him. He is a vampire. His eyes were yellow and he had fangs! I was terrified. I couldn't even talk to him, I just ran!"

"I didn't know you went! Michelle, we agreed not to. I thought we agreed?" Matt watched his wife.

Michelle wiped tears. "I know Matt but he is still our son! I love him. I wanted to talk to him but...I didn't know what to say!"

Matt sighed. "I miss him too." He was making a decision. "We will be with hunters?"

Grayson smiled. "Yes. I will be armed and Nathan Meeks, my new partner, he will be there, armed. Our team is trained and we will take care of you. He just had things to talk to you about. Just one hour. Please. Rachel Glass is a wonderful cook and she will have dinner ready at six. Come, if you want."

"Just for an hour?" Michelle watched Grayson.

Grayson nodded. "Yes, Michelle. Just one hour and you can leave at any time. Linc would be very happy if you showed up."

"We will think about it, Grayson. You must be a really good friend." Matt liked this man.

"I am. Linc is my best friend, Matt. He really is. I would be dead without him. I hope to see you tonight at six. It was a pleasure to meet you both." Grayson smiled. These were going to be his in-laws. "I look forward to seeing you tomorrow. Thanks for meeting with me." He stood to leave.

"Grayson. Is Linc still Linc?" Michelle asked as she wiped a tear.

Grayson smiled. "He is still your son. He always will be. He is worried about this meeting and he still loves you both. This dinner was his idea. It's still the same Linc. I assure you. He just has pointy teeth and pretty yellow eyes. They turn golden when he's happy." He walked out of the house and headed home. That was the most he could do but he hoped they came. He would have to wait and see.
