The boxy, grey building looming in front of me looked like it hasn't been invested in for at least fifty years. The facade fell off in some places, the wooden windows looked rugged and mouldy, changing colour from dark brown to black, and no one took care of the overgrown garden in years.
The only thing taken care off in front of the military base were the asphalted pathways, the parking lot an the brand new cameras decorating every corner.
I waited in the van in the parking lot while William and Thomas carried our weapons inside.
Despite the show I've put on a few days ago, I gave them the weapons.
Mostly because we had to fight the cultists with something and I was too proud of my collection not to show off.
They've also collected a bunch of salvia divinorum and dead blood from my lab, which they would later dip the bullets and stakes in, creating perfect weapons against vampires.
Caiden didn't manage to find the layout of the underground tunnels, but he's now got full control over the system.
Later on today, he'd post the video of Vilmus threatening us on their own website. He'd even try to block Vilmus and Ari form the website and disable them from seeing the video.
Hopefully, someone would switch sides and share information with us.
If not, we'd try to lure them out. Ian would enter the house and set fire in the tunnels. The rest of us would be waiting outside, surrounding the house.
Of course, I have included myself in this plan even though I haven't talked to Ian ever since our fight. He still thought I'd stay in the mansion and protect our home. But if he truly believed I would actually listen to him, he didn't know me very well.
Thomas knocked on the window, startling me, "Come out."
I rolled the window down, "Are all the weapons inside?"
"Yes." Thomas opened the door for me. "I thought you wanted to see our army."
My black and white dotted kitten heels tapped on the asphalt and I exited the vehicle. The day was gloomy. Dark, thick, low clouds covered the skies, protecting us from sunshine. The temperature was still insanely high and I felt my pink sundress gluing to my sweaty thighs as I followed Thomas to the entrance.
The military storage we entered was filled with soldiers, all looking eerily similar, dressed in mossy green, clean-shaven, and caps covering their heads. Tina would have fun messing around them if we allowed her anywhere near human boys.
Most of them were pretty young, eighteen to twenty-five. A wrinkled face and grey hairs were a scarce sight to see, but those individuals looked the toughest. They've seen shit we probably couldn't even imagine.
One of those older gentlemen approached and offered a hand, "Sargent Jonas."
He was handsome and fit for a man nearing fifty. The ends of his short black hair were grey and his piercing blue eyes looked focused and alert.
His hand tightened around mine in a firm grip, "Uh, Chloe."
Gosh, I was such a loser.
"The men are ready." Sargent Jonas stepped away from me. "Whenever you need them."
"Tonight." William said, once again stepping into his 'serious vampire' mode, which he sometimes used when he conversed with humans. "Midnight, but we'll be in touch if anything goes awry."
"You've got yourself quite a weapon arsenal. Is there anything else we need to know?" Sargent Jonas asked.
I glanced at Thomas, unsure what else to share other than to wish them all the luck in the world.
