?As soon as he dropped his weapon, Tom rushed him, tackling him to the ground.

Reaves didn't struggle as the police took him away. There was no need to. If Nexus was half the man he thought he was, then Reaves was rest assured.

Tom led the way, his eyes darting left and right as he marched Reaves to the police station. He wasn't taking him to the prison, if for anything, he needed his help. If Reaves was right about everything, then the real culprit was elsewhere. Dracula was no ordinary player and he knew the consequences of going against him. They had to fight.

At the police station, Reaves paced the room, his hands behind his back as he pondered the situation of things. He knew deep down that something was not adding up, starting with Angel. How could she make a timely report at this time? She also seemed to know something everyone else didn't. Reaves turned to Tom who was buried in a stack of papers.

"Angel has a hand in this and if you fail to see it, you are blind." He spat out. Reaves had never been the type of man to shy away from the truth or saying things as they were, Tom knew this which was why he simply looked up, his face devoid of emotion.

Reaves cracked his knuckles and continued. "Think about this carefully Tom. She can't be acting alone. This is not a coincidence, and Mary's involved. If Angel has the ability to track scents, then Mary has already picked up on Dracula's scent and is moving to him as we speak." He growled in anger. It was all begining to make sense.

Tom didn't say anything and instead he yelled out loudly to a couple of cops hanging around. He gave Reaves a slight nod, an indication that he agreed with Reaves. "Somebody find Angel and bring her to the police station. The sly mink must know Dracula's whereabouts". He ordered his voice bellowing across the room.

He was not going to admit it, but he was tense as well. He knew Dracula's capabilities and he knew that if they did not have time to plan a defense, they were all doomed.

Angel sat across from Reaves and Tom, her hands tapping softly at the table. Reaves pressed his lips tightly together to stop himself from yelling at her to stop. Tom cleared his throat and made to talk, but before he could, Reaves shot his first question at a surprisingly calm Angel.

They confronted Angel who actively denies the accusations. Reaves noticed Tom shuffling in his chair, and frowned deeply. Angel was emitting her seduce Tom and it was working. He leaned across the table and grabbed Angel by the hair, distrusting her powers.

"I need you to track Dracula's scent now". He bellowed. Angel blinked but made no moves to argue with him, he saw the dear in her eyes. Tom snapped back to reality.

As they watched, Angel tracked his scent, using every bit of her power to trace the famed Vampire. They saw the light leave her body and flicker back unsuccessfully. After a couple more tries and several silent threats from Reaves, Angel was finally picking up something, but it wasn't Dracula's scent--or so she thought. This was different, darker, more nauseating, and she held her mouth to keep from retching.

"I have no idea where he is". She finally blurted out, falling to the floor in exhaustion she had nothing to lose anyway and she was not lying. But Tom wasn't having it. He barged out of the room, his angry footfalls betraying his state of mind.

Reaves could not keep still. They weren't any close to finding Dracula and their lives were all at stake. Mike strolled into the room with Tom behind him, and Reaves growled at Mike.

"Why is he here?" Reaves asked. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝔀𝒆𝒃𝒏𝓸𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝙢

"I need to know what he knows about Dracula. If Angel could not track him, then maybe Mike must know something."

"Where's Mary?" Reaves yelled. However Mike shrugged and turned to Tom, completely ignoring Reaves.

"Angel is telling the truth. Dracula didn't human in the traditional sense and so can't be tracked by the normal means."

Reaves on hearing that, sat heavily on his chair, his heart thumping loudly in his ears. This was it, this was going to be the end of them all.

Madeline scanned the environment, her eyes searching for Nexus. She didn't like the police station and hated the smell, but she was here for Nexus. Eventually, her eyes fell on his impressive figure leaning on the wall, and listening to Tom. She approached him and smiled warmly at him.

"Nexus I don't want you to get involved in this matter. This is dangerous and not our fight. I..I..." Her throat suddenly choked up as she was getting all emotional. For a moment she thought about not seeing Nexus again. "I don't want to lose you." After the words left her lips, she lowered her head down, suddenly aware of the fact that she'd let her feelings get the best of her.

But Nexus was sweet enough to gather her in his arms. He held her for a minute then released her. "I can't. I made a promise to Reaves to protect Tiffany against all odds and that is what I must do. I am a man of my word after all."

The displeasure on Madeline's face was clear as day.

"And you're willing to get yourself killed? Why? What is honour in the face of danger and certain death?" Madeline pressed on.

Nexus shook his head from side to side as he stared her down. He was impressed at her concern for him, but her concern was nothing compared to his honour. "I have to fulfil my duty. I swore to protect Tiffany as a promise that Reaves would let Abby go. It would be stupid to go back on my word now. You have to let me do this Madeline".

Madeline didn't say anything. There was nothing left to say. If Nexus was so willing to trade his life for honour, then she was going to stay by his side.

Angel stormed out of the police station like she was being chased. She gave a slight nod to Nexus and glanced briefly at Madeline as she hurried our of the police station. Madeline could read the fear in her eyes, and her own heart sank. They were doomed. For a brief moment, Madeline thought about her own decision to stay back with Nexus.

Reaves watched Angel leave, and sighted Madeline clinging to Nexus side. Guilt settled at his throat and he found it hard to breathe for a while. Madeline's loyalty to Nexus was applaudable especially since he himself could not do anything to help her after the death of her husband and it would haunt him for a while.

Reaves ordered James servants and guards to gather near the police station in anticipation of a fight. If he was going to die, he would like to die knowing he did his best to win. To win, he needed a sizeable army. He didn't stop there.
