           THE FAN THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BRING THEM COLD GUSHES OF AIR WASN'T DOING MUCH IN THE LOUISIANA HEAT. Dakota was fanning herself with a newspaper, sweat trickling down the back of her neck. Her blond waves were pulled back by a hair clip and even her loose dress felt like a weighted blanket on her skin. Jason sat before her, stuffing his face with pancakes their grandmother had made for them. Dakota watched him, brow raised as syrup dripped down the side of his mouth.

"You want the rest of that?" he reached forwards and took the bacon from Sookie's plate. The youngest of the three tried to slap it back out of his hands but he had already stuffed it into his mouth. Sookie scoffed and rolled her eyes at her brother.

"If you're gonna wear that suit, you might want to start watching what you eat." Jason commented, seeing how Sookie was in her bathing suit, only a blouse covering her arms. Dakota snorted, shaking her head in amusement as Sookie rolled her eyes. "You look nice, though."

"That was Everlee Mason." Adele Stackhouse stumbled into the kitchen, phone to her chest. "Guess who was found strangled to death in her apartment? Maudette Pickens."

"Oh, my lord." Dakota frowned.

"She didn't show up for work." Adele added. "She wasn't answering her phone, so her boss called Bud Dearborne. He rode over, got the manager to let him in and they found her."

"I went to high school with Maudette." gasped Sookie, trying to comprehend what she was hearing.

"Can you believe it? A murder in Bon Temps." Adele was worried as she sat down with her grandchildren.

"Well, why are you surprised now that we got ourselves a vampire?" Jason said, eyes darting from his sister to Dakota, chewing the inside of his cheek.

"Just because he's a vampire, doesn't mean that he's a murdered." defended Sookie, thinking of Bill Compton, the vampire she had met in Merlotte's the night before.

"Oh, come on. Fang-bangers go missing all the time in Shreveport and New Orleans. They never find them, but everybody knows the vampires are killing them and then disposing of the bodies." said Jason, giving his sister a pointed look.

"What's a fang-banger?" wondered Adele.

"A vampire groupie." Sookie explained.

When Adele raised a brow, Dakota chimed in. "Men and women who like to get bitten and then have sex with vampires."

"My stars!" Adele gasped, affronted.

"Maudette was a fang-banger?" Dakota questioned as she turned to Jason. "How do you know that?"
