Dirty work (4)
After piercing the vampire's heart and cutting the head, Mike wished to go home and forget. The blood spattered around when he did so, and, according to Vera, it was the victim's blood he had eaten to survive.
«Now it's done!» he said, jumping out of the hole. It had been difficult, but it was finally over. Wasn't it?
«Yeah,» Vera said. «This one is over. Let's continue before dawn...»
«Continue? With what?»
«The other vampires.»
«Wait, what?»
«It's an epidemic. We need to hurry and get over with this before the next death. When there's an outbreak, it's a long work to get rid of it.»
«But, Vera... How are we supposed to do so much?»
«It's our job.»
«Your job sucks.»
«Don't tell me,» she chuckled. «But if I'd known I would spend the whole holiday on graveyards... I might have stayed in Milan, to be sincere.»
