Chapter 179

Garth Myers hadn't been completely up front with his commanding officer. Like many other Texas residents, he'd heard about the legendary Chupacabra, but he hadn't dismissed it completely out of hand. Not the way his boss did. Garth's maternal grandmother was Comanche and believed in a lot of the legends and spiritual tales. When Reed Fortune's body was found, she was the first one Garth called.

"El Chupacabra," she told him in an ominous voice. "But killing people now? Something is very, very bad."

He didn't need his kaku to tell him that. The minute he'd taken a look at the body of Reed Fortune, ice had crept over his spine and a chill had encompassed his body. People whispered about the "goatsucker", the vampire beast that sucked blood from its victims. Who destroyed the bodies.
