Jenna

　　Newscaster : ……..in his speech, Senetor Griffin mentioned that the vampire culprits responsible for the series of attacks in Los Angeles have been apprehended and arrested. He further stated that the Nexus Services would do all it can to eradicate supernatural threats especially by vampires. His ann…..”

　　“Asshole.” I muttered as I paused the news playing on my phone. I locked the door to my house and walked straight for my car. I suddenly stopped as I decided to take a can instead. This could be a mission longer than I can think.

　　“Taxi.” I called out to a cab driving by and it halted before me.

　　“The airport.” I hopped into the car and it drove off.

　　***

　　As soon as I alighted the plane, I switched on my phone and checked the time on my wristwatch. It was 4: 45pm. I checked my notifications to see an Instagram message from Jenna, a friend.

　　Jenna; I’m waiting at the airport, where are you?

　　I looked around to see if I could spot her before directing my attention back at my phone.

　　‘I just landed. I’m near the check point.’ I replied the message and it was soon marked as seen.

　　‘K’ Her reply popped up with a smiling emoji. I flinched as a pink Mercedes zoomed right in front of me. The car came to a screeching halt and I looked inside to see Jenna waving at me. Bitch.

　　I got into the car and she didn’t even wait for me to balance before zooming away.

　　“F**k! Jenna!” I cursed as I picked up my phone that had fallen on the floor of the vehicle.

　　“What’s up? What are you doing here in Washington?” Jenna asked.

　　“I came to check up on some old contacts.” I replied and looked out the window.

　　“But it’s late, so I’m gonna book the closest available hotel.”

　　“Great.” She chimed in and suddenly tuned up the radio music. Crazy ass bitch.

　　I swiped my keycard through the door to my room and I threw it in my bag as the door opened. The room was amazing; just how I liked it. A king sized bed at the corner, a long dressing table and mirror, a closet and neatly tiled floor.

　　Jenna sure knew how to make use of the zeroes. So many zeroes would get Valerie bickering about how an orphanage would have appreciated the donation. Boring. I had barely settled down for too long when someone knocked on the door. I sighed in frustration and walked towards the door.

　　“Who the he….” I stopped as I opened the door to see a guy carrying some clean and neatly arranged towels and bedsheets. Did I mention, he was hot?

　　“Room service.” He smiled and ……oh my God, his dimples were strikingly amazing.

　　“Oh yes.” I said awkwardly and then acted out, “you know I’ve been feeling so bored since and I needed someone to talk to…Um…can you like come back when you’re done with your shift so we can hang out?” I felt my eyelashes blink seductively and I smiled at him.

　　“I’m actually done for the day. This was my last stop for the night.” He replied with a lustful smile and I didn’t mind.

　　“Great. Come in.” I pulled him in and shut the door. He dropped the towels and bedsheets on a table and I immediately caught him by surprise by pushing him on the bed. I leaned in towards him on the bed and I kissed him softly on his lips. I pulled back and he smiled at me, biting on his lower lips.

　　I took off my gown slowly and allowed it to drop to the floor, leaving me in my half-cup bra and lingerie.

　　“Damn Sexy.”

　　***

　　I woke up the next morning to the sound of my alarm and I groaned inwardly. I opened my eyes and climbed down from the bed. Thoughts of the carnal things that went on between the hot-room-service-guy and me aroused all over as I switched off the alarm on my phone.

　　He wasn’t here so he must have woken up early to resume back to work. I bent down and picked up my clothes that littered the floor. It was the start of another day and I had to face what I had come for; finding Valerie.

　　I took a quick bath and got dressed after which I checked out at the reception. The hot-room-service-guy was there and I think I saw him wink at me. I wish I could have his contact, but there was no time to waste. Maybe next time.

　　I boarded a cab to DC and had the vehicle halt before the internal affairs building. I walked into the building and entered an elevator to the executive floor. The elevator’s door soon hissed open and I stepped out.

　　As I reached the entrance to the executive floor, I was stopped by two guards.

　　“Your security clearance?” One of the guards asked and I sighed. I reached into my bag and pulled out a security clearance that had been given to me by Nico. Too bad I dumped him.

　　I was allowed to pass and I checked my wristwatch. It was still early and Nico wouldn’t resume any time soon. He would kill me if he sees me. I walked into a familiar office where a man sat before his desk. He looked up from his computer and glanced at me.

　　“Jenna!” He smiled, “it’s been a long time I’ve seen you around here.”

　　“Sorry Jax, I was away to attend Paris Fashion Week. Couldn’t miss it.” I lied. Well, I would have gone for Paris Fashion Week if this issue hadn’t come up.

　　“Is Nico here?” He asked. Great. Nico didn’t tell him anything so he believes Nico and I are still a thing.

　　“No. I actually came to see him and I was told he hadn’t resumed for the day so I came to seen you.” I dropped my bag on his table.

　　“Do you mind if I use your toilet?” I asked and he replied, “No.”

　　I walked into the toilet and waited for a while before opening the door and sticking out my head.

　　“Oh my God. Jax!” I exclaimed and he looked at my direction.

　　“I actually don’t know how to say this.” I faked an embarrassed expression and continued, “I’m actually in my menstrual period and right now, my pad is soaked.”

　　“Oh.” Jax smiled..

　　“Oh my God…..I feel so embarrassed.” I paused, “my skirt is stained and I can’t go out, could you help me get a pad and a clean skirt.” I smiled nervously and he nodded.

　　“Sure.” He grabbed his wallet on his desk and walked out. As soon as he stepped out, I walked out of the toilet and went to his computer. It was open.

　　I went to his files and searched for the keyword, ‘NEXUS SERVICES.’

　　There were a lot of files from the search and I didn’t know which one I needed. I grabbed my phone from my bag and hurriedly dialed a number. It rang out for a sec and the call was picked.

　　“Hey Mark…..could you please do me a favor and get me the name of any new facility newly launched by Nexus Services?” J waited for a while and he got back to me.

　　“Okay, thanks.” I cut the call and scrolled through the files I had searched earlier. I smiled as I spotted the file I needed.

　　‘NEXUS SERVICES RIPPER DETENTION FACILITY. ‘

　　I pulled out my flash drive and inserted it into the computer before copying the file I needed. As soon as the file was complete, I ran back into the toilet and soon, the door was opened.

　　“Jax?” I asked from inside the toilet and he echoed a reply, “I got em.”

　　“Thanks.” I stretched out my hands from inside the toilet and collected the nylon bag from him. I changed into the skirt he got, but I hid the pad in my bag and got out.

　　“You’re done?” Jax asked and I nodded in affirmation.

　　“I’ll take my leave now. I’ll come back later.” I grabbed my bag before walking out of his office. I didn’t walk too far before taking out the pad and throwing it in the thrash.

　　“Bullshit.” I muttered.

　　***

　　I walked into a cyber shop and requested for an available computer. I was directed to one and I hurriedly inserted the flash drive, opening the file I had copied. There was a list of a total of 128 vampire inmates and I scrolled through the name before stopping on the one I wanted, Valerie Hudgens.

　　It stated that she had been released three days ago. Released?! I scrolled further to the left and looked at the details of her release. She had been taken by an Alpha. The Alpha of the Moon Edge Pack. Alpha Xavier.
