Andy was leaning over his work table, checking the groundplan of a building plan. Some changes needed to be made. He had to give this building plan to his mentor. If he didn’t he could fail his internship and that was about the last thing he wanted.
The problem was that he couldn’t stop thinking about Shannen. God, she’d made him so angry. He was so deep in thought he didn’t hear the knocking on the open door.
“Hey, Andy”
Andy looked up and saw the assistant of the manager standing in the doorway.
“What’s up? Big man needs a one on one with me?” Andy asked.
“The cops are here” the assistant said.
“What? Why?” Andy asked surprised.
“You can ask them yourself” the assistant said. She rotated her head. “He’s in here, you guys”
A minute later two inspectors entered the office.
“Inspector Anderson, this is my colleague inspector Lee” inspector Anderson said, while both held up their ID’s. “We’d like to ask you some questions”
“Yeah, okay” Andy said, having no clue of what was going on. He looked at the assistant.
“Would you like some coffee?” she asked. They refused and she left, closing the door.
“That is not going to look good on his résumé” she mumbled.
Inspector Anderson pulled out a photo and put it on the table. “Do you know this girl?”
“Of course, that’s Shannen White, my girlfriend” Andy said.
Inspector Anderson pulled out another photo and put it over the first one. “Do you still recognize her?”
It was a photo of Shannen lying between garbage bags. Her head was bashed in and blood was mixed with her hair and covered half of her face.
“Andy-I can call you Andy, right?-where were you last night?”

Present Day
“She suggested to stay with her so we could catch up, but I already promised Keith to stay with him. But we spent more time together. When Mayor Lockwood died I returned, but you know that. You basically stalked me with your calls to get you out of trouble. How many nights did you spend in jail?” Kelsey chuckled. Then she sighed. “If I had foreseen this I would’ve enjoyed those little moments”
Amber didn’t react.
“Amber, sweetie, did you fall asleep?” Kelsey asked with a squeezed voice, knowing better. She pulled her sister up, taking her face in her hands. “Come on, it’s night. You’re a vampire, you should be awake” she said with a trembling voice.
But Amber still didn’t show any sign of life.
“Amber?” Kelsey sobbed, tears rolling over her cheeks and she held her little sister tightly in her arms. The moon slowly rose…
