[Chapter Summary] The boys track you down through unsavory means, eager to make a meal out of you and end your life. To lure you in, they invite you on a date.

The boys couldn't stop thinking about you. It's been two weeks since the concert, and they haven't seen you around the boardwalk. David texted you with the intent of asking you out to dinner, but he and the boys have yet to hear from you.

Commonly, a sequence of events like this would cause any other man to give up. David and his boys, however, were not men – they were vampires. Vampires loved the chase; it was their favorite part about being a predator. Getting their mark was always gratifyingly delicious, and you were scrumptious to them.

You were the perfect meal with (s/c) skin and a fantastic body. You were also far away from home, alone, and incredibly vulnerable. He and the boys were so close to indulging, but they were interrupted by that stupid bouncer. They thoroughly enjoyed tearing him to shreds and scattering him around Santa Carla for fang blocking.

But that didn't soothe their bloodlust. David and the boys craved you and were determined to find you so they could satiate their hunger.

"Any luck?" David questioned Marko from his wheelchair as he opened a thick manila envelope.

"Not yet, but I feel like I'm getting somewhere," Marko replied, scrolling through his phone.

Out of all the boys, Marko was the most tech-savvy. The resident gremlin made their lives a hell of a lot easier figuring out how to navigate modern technology. From navigating social media to doing background checks and gathering intel on their victims, there wasn't anything Marko couldn't do with a cell phone or a computer.

"What's her last name again?" Marko asked.

"(L/n)," David informed, not looking up from the dossier on Grandpa Emerson he was viewing. They needed to tie up loose ends with the old hunter. After all these years, he was still in the wind.

"I was able to pluck that out of her head, but unfortunately, I couldn't get anything else," he grumbled.

His mental abilities were top tier, but alcohol and drug use sometimes made mind-reading difficult for vampires. Substances could scramble or muddle the thought patterns of humans.

"Doesn't matter; I think I found her!" Marko informed ecstatically, springing from his spot on the new couch they stole from Ikea to approach David.

"Gather around, boys," he said, gesturing to his phone for the others to take a look.

Paul and Dwayne also vacated their spots on the couch, gathering around Marko. Thorn whined in protest because his head scratches were now on hold.

"Check out our little Baltimorean's Facebook," he smiled impishly, hunger flashing in his eyes. "Guess where she works?"

David glanced at Marko's phone, letting out an amused chuckle. You were a Gamer Max employee. Their employee. What were the odds?

"Our little meal was right under our noses the entire time." He smirked.

"What do we do now?" Marko probed, the others glancing at David with the same inquiry.

"Now, we pull some strings," David calculatingly replied as he pulled out his phone and began dialing.

"I can't do the night shift, Maria; I have classes in the morning." You informed your supervisor over the phone. You were twice degreed, but moving from one state to another required you to become certified in that school district.
