“Jackie doesn’t know how to work a gun. There’s just no fucking way it was her!”

“Who says they were shot?” Detective Nolan snapped. “However, our officers fired at them. Either they all missed or Jackie and Marcus weren’t affected. Maybe they were wearing Kevlar vests? We don’t really know, never seen anything like this, ever. Listen, our cops were mangled, bitten, and drained of their blood. Nine men and women I had the pleasure of working with who bravely served this community are laid out at the county coroner’s office right now getting examined. This is a small town. In minutes almost a quarter of our force was wiped out. It was carnage like I’ve never seen, inhuman…evil. I hope and pray she doesn’t come home, for your sake as well as your children’s’ sake.”

“This is bullshit. Show me the fucking tape!”

“I don’t think that’s–” the detective said.

“You accuse my wife of…eating people to death? Draining their blood? Like she’s some kind of vampire? Fuck you. Show me the tape or I’ll go to the media and tell them you’re covering something up because you fucked up!”

“You need to calm down now,” the cop yelled back. Lance gulped down the rest of his water and nodded. “Alright, I’ll show you the tape. But it’s not public and it won’t be released to the media.” She motioned for Lance to wheel his chair around her desk and look at her computer monitor. With a couple of mouse clicks, she had the footage on screen. Lance couldn’t deny it was Jackie. She looked wild, wicked, and even monstrous. She wore an expression he had never seen before. She was laughing with Marcus as if they were enjoying themselves after destroying a police squad. Both seemed immune to bullets. They looked like they were in love.
