Gabriel drove to Puttam and caught the hydro ferry to Denmark. The girl sat down and actually ate a large meal. She pulled her hood up over her head as a news blurb came across the tv screen about the slaughter of the police station.
It was reported a serial killer, now turned spree killer, was pursuing the daughter of an American FBI agent. Her photo flashed on the screen. Gabriel just kept eating her food and pretended not to notice people. Hopefully her black stocking cap had concealed her hair well enough. It was temporarily dye so it was coming out in sections.
Gabriel checked the time. She wouldn't make the Moscow flight she had booked. With her phone, she rebooked for the next day and a flight to Madrid Spain. The girl wanted more than one rabbit hole, as Kazıklı bey would have said. And if he could sense her mind, her phone vibrated.
KB: I'm here you are not
GS:. Moscow, bitch
KB: what did you call me?
GS: You went blind?
KB: no I'm tempted to gouge yours out for that insult
GS: you're going to do what you're going to do...
KB: stop running cottontail, my renfields will find you and bring you to me safe.
GS: NO I should have not woken up in time to not roll the car, at the speed I was driving.
KB: not part of the game
GS:Fuck you monster! I'm so tired and my face is on TV. People just might have noticed me on the ferry.
KB: don't do anything stupid
GS: right ! going to London was stupid and look what I found...you. Your like the plague but faster.
KB: that's 3 and counting for unapologetic insults.
GS: Fuck you! I don't care anymore! I'm going to just walk off this fucking ferry into the ocean!
KB: I don't care you little whining bitch. Kill yourself, so your friends died for you, for nothing. I'll call Daddy and tell him how weak you were and gave up. His precious baby girl was a little maggot too afraid my boot heel would crush her.
GS: you bastard!
KB: I am truly one as I was born like one. Get over it and get your head back in the game. You do have a chance to live, slim but there is a chance you will win against me.
GS: Fucker! I'm back in your sick and twisted game.
KB: Chin up, you might be the human that finally kills me.
GS: hmm, an impalement for an impalement
KB: you would try to stab my heart while we fucked?
GS: yeah, I think I have a 'hard on' prince
KB: Well, by all means pursue that as I in turn pursue you
Vali waited a few minutes but didn't get a reply. It was later he found out Gabriel had been spotted and detained by ferry authorities. More people were going to die just because Vampire King didn't have his new plaything.
Vali walked the streets of Copenhagen and headed straight away to Antik Damgaard. It sold antiques including weapons. The vampire hummed softly as his eyes looked around.
"Can I help you sir?"
Vali turned and smiled. As he was so old and had traveled, he was a master of many languages. In perfect Danish asked, "Japanese perchance?"
The woman in her late fifties nodded and pointed to a heavily locked cabinet. She opened it to reveal a sword and short sword placed on top of a blue silk kimono.
