"Ma'am, yes, ma'am!" Jennifer heard Agent Mojo say to the other party on the phone as she came out of a public restroom. Agent Mojo gestured for her to wait a minute before approaching him. She sighed. She was tired and hungry. They had been traveling non-stop for quite some time now. Jennifer had no idea where they were and this "Agent" Mojo wouldn't tell her anything, especially about her dreams and these people who were after them. She was also concerned about the little kitty she had left behind and wondered if the white furball was okay.

"Jennifer." She looked up to see Agent Mojo approach her. "We're leaving." He grabbed her by the elbow and lead her out of the store. "W-Where are we going?" "Sorry, but I can't tell you that. It's not that it's classified, it's that your mind has no protection from those monsters. We're very vulnerable right now and we can't afford to have unexpected visitors at the rendezvous point." "We're meeting someone?" She asked as she got into the car. He answered as he got into the driver's seat. "Yeah, but no more questions . . . for now. I know you want to know what's going on, but I promise we'll tell you all you need to know, okay?" "Yes sir."

Celia drove while the other two females of the group sat in the car, heading to their destination. Sue and Ronald, two of the main leaders of the few believers and worshipers left, had gathered the other leaders and believers. They had bowed before the master and they all had a worshiping ceremony. After receiving orders from their master and after the ceremony, the master had gathered the priest and his servants together. He gave them orders and surprised everyone by splitting the group into two groups: the women in one group and the men into a group. The priest had left, having something to do in their home world.

Charles had kissed his wife before they had separated and gave her the needed info from his "source". Now, they were headed to meet the girl. She was their assignment while the group accompanying the master were to find "The Book". Celia stopped the car, put it in park, and turned off the ignition. They had arrived at their desired destination. Now, all they had to do was wait and the girl would come to them . . .

Agent Mojo and Jennifer got out of the car and entered the city park. It was a warm and beautiful day and the park itself was nice looking. However, neither Agent Mojo nor Jennifer's mind was not on nature. Agent Mojo walked fast, while Jennifer tried to keep up as joggers and children ran by. "This way." Agent Mojo said and they took a sharp turn. Finally, they came to a bench on which sat two men, one younger and "computer geeky" like. They approached the men and one of them said, "Mojo." "McGrown, Steals." Said Agent Mojo.

All four of them, Agents Steals, McGrown, Mojo, and Jennifer piled into the big black SUV. Steals sat in the back with Jennifer while McGrown and Mojo were in front, McGrown in the driver's seat. They talked as they were on their way. "How is you-know-who?" "Oh, she's pissed as usual. She believes there's a leak, which is a possibility. I think she's just on her period." Jennifer frowned while listening as the three men laughed. They began to talk, but talked about things that made no sense to Jennifer nor was anything she'd ever heard of.

Finally, the car came to a stop. As they got out of the SUV, Jennifer saw that they were at some type of airport and suddenly a sharp pain went through her head. "Ahh!" An image flashed before her eyes, an image of herself being thrown back in the SUV by Agent Mojo while the other two shot at an object or person she couldn't see. When the pain ceased she opened her eyes to find herself on her knees and looked up to see the three agents staring at her. Agent Mojo asked, "What's wrong?"

Jennifer told them about the image. The three of them exchanged glances and pulled out guns. Even Agent Mojo had a holster under his shirt and pulled out his 9. "W-What's going on?" Jennifer asked. Suddenly, all four of them heard footsteps coming toward them. A woman with blonde hair walked from behind the vehicle. She was a tall and elegant woman and her hair was long to enough to reach her waist. She smiled and purred, "Hello, you must be Jennifer. It is a pleasure to meet you."

For a moment, they all stood looking at the woman till finally it registered in their minds. "What the hell-" Steals started to say and McGrown yelled, "Don't ask, just SHOOT!" He and Steals then began to fire. What happened next was incredible. The woman moved faster than the blink of an eye. She dodged the bullets and knocked Steals to his feet. She laughed as she dodged McGrown's second bullet, his feeble attempt to hit her.

Meanwhile, Agent Mojo had grabbed Jennifer and threw her into the vehicle. Jennifer opened her mouth to say something and Agent Mojo yelled, "Shut up! Get to the floor and cover your head!" Jennifer curled up into a ball in the floor of the vehicle, remembering the tornado drills from her young school days. Agent Mojo jumped into the driver's seat and before he could crank it, a feminine had grabbed his arm. He looked up to see a woman with long red hair and green eyes sitting in the passenger seat. She struck him, hard.

The blonde dodged another bullet and another, and with each bullet she dodged she took a step closer to McGrown. McGrown pulled the trigger again, but nothing came out. He was out of bullets and had no time to reload. She grabbed him by the throat and raised him up. "Say your last words!" She hissed, her white fangs visible as she spoke. Suddenly, the area was lit up by a blue light and a hissing sound. The woman suddenly dropped McGrown and began ear splitting screaming. Her flesh began to melt off her.

As she fell into a heap, Steals became visible for McGrown, holding a huge and strange black gun that was previously fired in his hand. "What the hell are you just standing there for, help Mojo!" McGrown yelled hoarsely. For a moment, Agent Steals stood there as if to say, "What about you?" but ran off to help Mojo.

Agent Mojo held his arm up, trying to shield the blows and clawing by the woman. She had smacked him hard once, almost knocking him out. He had barely managed to put up his arm to absorb some of the second blow. Suddenly the blows stopped as a hissing sound filled the air. "Rraaah!" She ripped through the roof and climbed out.

"Jennifer!" Agent Mojo called out. The hissing sound and blue light filled the air as Agent Mojo got out of the vehicle and something zoomed by him in a blur screaming. Agent Mojo opened the door to the back and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jennifer was still there. "Mojo!" He looked up to see a pale McGrown coming toward him. "Get the girl out of here, we'll cover you!" "Right, I'm on it!" Mojo jumped back into the driver's seat.

McGrown and Steals continued to fire at the vampires as the vehicle sped away. Eventually, the other two flew away while the one whom Steals had hit dead had disappeared, leaving behind a puddle of bright red blood.

"Damn!" Steals said as McGrown began to contact their superiors with his cell phone. Before the number went through, McGrown said, "She's right. There is definitely a leak and if we don't find it we're going to lose this war."
