CHAPTER 6: SARAH CONFRONTS SKULL

As Sarah and Jane walked towards the building the door then opened and they both walked in.

The moment they stepped in Jane was amazed by the interior of the building, it was painted white but then aside that it looked like a huge office like that of a company.

"Well this doesn't look like a vampires lare" Jane whispered in Sarah's ear,

"that's because it's not" Sarah replied her.

"Uhm hey, excuse me ma'am can I help you?" a woman at the receptionist desk screamed out loud asking Sarah and Jane, they then both started walking towards the woman,

"Uhm sorry miss we're looking for Mr. Joel Russo" Sarah then said,

"you have an appointment?" the receptionist woman asked,

"Uhm yeah sure, otherwise why would we be in here" Sarah said in a harsh tone,

"Okay, okay, let me call his secretary and let her know, what are your names again?" the receptionist asked them once again while she looked them in the eye, Sarah then looked her straight in the eye as well as if she wanted to compel her,

"there'll be no need for that, just show us the way to his office" she said to the woman,

"oh uhm yeah, so you take the elevator to the top floor or you can just use the stairs, and when you get up there you take the left part and check for the C.E.O's office, the names written on top of the door, that's his office" the woman said without realizing that she had been compelled,

"thank you, now that wasn't so hard was it, let's go Jane" Sarah said while smiling, Jane then looked at the receptionist smiling as well before she then quickly followed Sarah.

When they got to the top floor they went out of the elevator and they then did as the receptionist told them and took the left path, they were looking at the write ups on top of the doors to find the C.E.O's office and after they had walked past a couple of doors they finally found the office.

"You ready?" Sarah asked Jane,

"always" Jane replied as Sarah then knocked the door,

"come in" a voice coming from inside the office said, it was Skull's voice.

"Long time no see Sarah, to what do I owe this pleasant surprise?" Skull asked as he was backing them with his chair facing the wall opposite the direction they were standing,

"where's my son at Skull?" Sarah asked,

Skull then turned around around while on his chair so he could face them face to face,

"I'm sorry but I don't know who Skull is, and if you were trying to refer to me my name is Joel Russo" Skull said as he placed his hand on his office desk,

Sarah then dashed towards Skulls direction as she placed her hand on the table while she also looked him directly in the eyes,

"don't mess with me Skull, where's my son?" she asked angrily,

Skull then stood up while also looking at Sarah as well, they were having an eye contact matchup,

"I can see you're back to vampire mode Sarah that's a good thing" Skull said while smiling,

"this is the last time I'm goinyto ask you Skull, where's my son, where's Rick?" Sarah asked even more furiously and aggressively this time around.

"Okay okay, fine follow me before you all start crying and wailing" Skull said while keeping his cool, he then walked out the office and both of them followed right behind him.

Skull took them to an excluded part of the building which looked kind of dark, there was also nobody there as well, when he got there he grabbed a lever on the wall and he pulled it down, all of a sudden the wall then split into two and a door was what they could see, Skull then opened the door and then there was a staircase leading downwards he then started walking down the stairs while Jane and Sarah followed him as expected.

"Welcome to my lair ladies" Skull said after they had reached the floor,

"Will you just cut all the bullshit out Skull, where's Rick?" Sarah asked much more calmer this time around,

"fine fine, he's on his way, don't worry Sarah" Skull said as he then walked towards a big chair which looked more like a throne and sat on it, the whole place looked like a palace everything inside of it was black and the place was also dark.

Jane kept on staring at the whole place and the look on her face showed that she liked the whole setting,

"so this is your lare hmm?" she asked him,

"yeah, it is, something wrong about it?" Skull also asked her,

"nope, I just like the whole setting that's all, the dark theme you know" she replied,

"yeah, I can see that, from the way you're starring at the whole place" Skull said and then paused to look at her one more time while she was still starring around.

"You know there's something about you that I just can't seem to wrap my head around" he then said,

"who me?" Jane asked

"yes you, how..."

"Mum" Rick screamed in surprise interrupting Skull's speech,

"Rick, are you okay?" Sarah asked as she ran towards Rick and gave him a hug,

"Mum I'm fine" Rick said while smiling and pulling her off his body,

"are you sure?" she then asked again,

"I said I'm fine mum" Rick answered and Sarah then let go of him.

"What did you do to him?" Sarah asked Skull,

"nothing, just like he said he's fine" Skull replied her,

"it's fine mum really, all he did was tell me about who I really am, I mean whom you are also and the truth about my dad as well, the real reason why he died" Rick said to Sarah who then turned around and looked at him in shock,

"uhh" Sarah said trying to figure out the words she wanted to say,

"It's alright don't worry mum it's fine, I understand why you did what you did.
