Colin waited outside an old abandond gym. It was only three days ago that the man at the gym had asked Colin to meet him. Colin had been waiting for fifteen minutes and was starting to grow impatient.

"Son of a bitch, I bet he's loving this" Colin growled.

Colin punched a plank of wood that was barred across the window. It made a twang like noise and he growled trying to control his anger. He looked up and down the street, hardly anyone paid attention to it. Suddenly ther was a loud clank of metal hitting wood and then a metalic slide and another click then the door to the old gym opened.

"Hey man, no need to punch things, you should have just knocked on the door, you're fiteen minutes late"

"I've been here for fiteen minutes dumb ass"

"Hey, hey, hey. I'm trying to help you. I know you're angry but-"

"You know nothing about me" Colin growled.

The man who had yet to reveal his name to Colin glared down at him and left the shadows of the door and towered over him.

"I know that your wife was killed by a Vampire, which means we have something in common"

Colin's eyes widened slightly then returned to their narrow slit as he looked the man up and down suspiciously, searching his eyes for any other information.

"What are you getting at?"

The man stared at Colin and calmed down then moved back into the shadows of the door and beckoned for Colin to follow. Colin did and he entered the dark building with a little bit of excitment and fear in his heart; he hoped the large, dark, muscled man wouldn't be able to tell.

When the door closed he heard the reverse of the metal clicking and sliding as the man locked to the door, then small but powerful floor lights marked the way to another set of doors not too far away.

"C'mon. There's something I want to show you"

Colin followed him, now with more fear than excitment. What was going on here? What sort of rundown gym was this? They got to the doors, they were made of steel. The man knocked on the door in a synchronized way and then a pad flipped round and he punched in the seven digit code. The doors opened and they went in. The room here was bright and metalic, the smell was horrible, he was used to the odors of flowers or the pine scent he kept in his car, even the smell of his colognes weren't strong enough to over power it. They got in a lift and it took them the only way it could; down.

"What is this place?" Colin asked a little breathlessly as he could see some sort of office work going on as the elevator passed that level. The next level was like more offices but it was different, one big giant computer area all hooked to one main and a large desk. It must of been a conference floor. The third floor was a lab, he could see people building things and mixing things as they slowed and finally hit their stop.

"There are four levels. This is the last. The most important one I was to show you."

Colin nodded and stepped out of the elevator. He looked around and saw more very muscled men, each carrying three guns and each had a bullet proof vest around them. Some wore sunglasses despite being underground. They looked like they wouldn't take shit form anyone.

"I hope you're not too sensitive to a little bit of gore"

Colin looked up at the muscled man and grew worried...what was this place?

They came to a room and they stopped, there was a window on the door but Colin couldn't see through it from where he was standing.

"Before you go in here, I need to ask you"
