True Bloodthirst Page #4

Though, from the look on both

your faces, this isn't news.

What isn't news to us, Detective, is

that human police don't care

about crimes against vampires,

but now that humans are also

being targeted, here you are.

I believe the distribution

of this black market blood

has led to certain impurities.

I don't follow.

A contaminated blood sample has

spread through our people not unlike

one of your sexually

transmitted diseases.

The infected appear to be turning

into a primitive subspecies,

acting only on their most primal urges,

turning our genes against us.

Like some kind of retrovirus.

So, what are you saying exactly?

I think they're saying there's life-size

vampire bats flying around Bucharest,

sucking it dry. I guess

that's where I come in.

Vampire metabolism

is already must faster

than a human's, but these

vampire bats, as you call them,

their needs are much higher.

Their blood thirst, insatiable.

One of my own sons has gone missing.

I fear he has fallen into their ranks.

So how do we stop 'em?

You can't, human.

Oh, and you can?

We are somewhat limited by

our nocturnal tendencies,

but you can track these creatures

during the day while they slumber.

Of course, they'll tear

you apart if you do.

Yeah. We'll take our chances.

We should work together.

What? That is not what I signed up for.

You signed up to kill vampires,

and as far as I can tell,

these are about as pure

vampire as they get.

I do not wish them killed.

You must understand we

don't have any choice.

Nikolai will help you find them

if you will help us try to save them.

Good luck, Detective Derricks.

It's not part of the

deal. We work alone.

Actually, you work for me now.

We don't need them.

Wait, is that you?

Fire of eighteen forty-seven.

Humans burnt down half the city.

That was the last time

we revealed ourselves.

Jury's still out if things will

be any different this time around.

Vanatorii Umane.

It's time.

Vanatorii Umane?

Human hunters.

Not all humans, just the ones you

brought with you. Don't worry, Detective.

They're off the clock.

Where's Marius?

Find him.

Found him.

I'm sorry. I brought them here.

Get out!

Harke r!

Hey! Hey!

Faster metabolism apparently

means they die faster.

Nice.

Thanks.

Don't mention it.

What are you doing?

He could lead us to the others.

Aleksandr?

That's not Aleksandr anymore.

Brother, we only want to help you.

No!

I told you we wanted him alive.

Tracking bullet.

You should have said so.

How do we track him?

- Equipment's back at the...

Where?

Your hide out?

No. No. We are not

taking them back there.

Why not? You already know where we live.
