AIDEN
Me, my parents, Detective Baxter and Mrs. Brightly were summoned to the defense headquarters In Portland for a meeting with the best minds in security, hopefully we were going to put an end to all this madness.
"Good day everyone, I’m General Sanders and these are my lieutenants Sam and Foster, please have a seat"
a tall man with intelligent blue eyes said, motioning for us to sit down … we all sat down.
‘Your case was brought to us by Agent Baxter, turns out it’s the same case we have been on for about two years’ said the General.
‘Yeah we aren’t dealing with one person here, this is an underground syndicate and we have been tracking these people for two years now’ added Foster
‘Every six months or so a hate group called the Red Vamps Klan rounds up red haired women from every state in the US, rapes, cuts off their hair and sacrifices them'
I heard Mrs. Brightly gasp
‘Apparently the red hair signifies their camaraderie and willingness to do whatever to uphold the standard of their group’. Said Lieutenant Sam.
‘HOW do we stop them’ I was overridden with giddiness; anxiety was kind of my best friend these days.
‘Agent Baxter told us that they gave you a venue? That’s their final sacrificial altar’
‘In a cemetery?' mom asked alarmed
‘Yes ma’am, they have been using the place for some time now and this time we’ll be there’ said the General.
‘I hope so, maybe we can finally get some answers’ Baxter said.

It was a somber Friday night, the air was particularly chilly, it felt as if it already knew the mood of the evening and was giving us a heads up.
We all drove to the outskirts of town with some army vehicles well behind us… to them the hate group was not a police problem but a threat to national security. We practically needed all the help we could get.
I couldn’t help but recall one of the greatest moments of my life with Elaine, our first kiss.
It was an older summer; us, our parents, their friends and our friends were on a vacation to Hawaii and everything was great. The weather could not have been more agreeable, the food was superb and everyone was having the best time.
Back then Elaine and I were still treating each other like the bane of our existences, we were on the beach and she was reading a book by the shore while dipping her toes into the sea.
She wasn’t watching the currents and was suddenly swept in by a wave.
In that instant, all my senses came alive and I ran and jumped right into the water to bring her out, to my greatest surprise she was an even better swimmer than I was and didn’t need any saving whatsoever.
I was disappointed and I so badly wanted to taste her full sensuous lips, even if it was by CPR pathetic ... I know. We both got out of the water and she said.
‘My hero’ in the most mocking tone I had ever heard.
‘Shut it, E’ I rolled my eyes and sat down in the sand, she sat beside me and we talked... for a pretty long time before she suddenly halted and looked me in my eyes, then my lips, then my eyes again. I knew she wanted it too.
