Knights of St. Christopher

29 - Padlock

Rene looked at herself in the mirror. She lifted her top to look at the gun wounds, they were beginning to scar. Three slight knocks were heard "Come in!" She allowed. Randall opened the door and witnessed staring at herself. He walked in and closed the door.
"Let's see?" He asked. She sighed and turned towards him. One was on her right hip, the next was off centre to the left, and the last was just below her right boob. She sighed and lowered her top "Their ugly...aren't they?" She questioned. Randall shook his head and smiled "No, they show how you survived the impossible" He replied. He pulled her into a hug, and he rested his chin on her head.
"Randall?" She asked. He pulled away from the hug and looked at her "Yeah?" He replied. She looked off to the right briefly then back towards him "I don't want to be scared anymore" She admitted. He knew exactly what she was talking about, so he rubbed her arm gently with a simple smile.
"Want to give it another go?" He asked. She took a deep breath in and nodded. He grinned and picked her up bridal style. She laughed then kissed him "I adore you" She stated. He grinned "I adore you too" He replied.
What they didn't know was that Jack, Hamish and Lilith were standing outside of the door celebrating by throwing their hands in the air, or silently screaming with happiness. Randall opened the door and spotted the three. They all looked around them to avoid eye contact. Hamish dragged his finger down the wall "Need repainted" He distracted. Lilith scratched the back of her head "I forgot why I came up here" She muttered. Jack just stared at the floor. Randall paused, and slowly smiled "You are all dicks" He inserted.
Jack nodded "We know," He said through a tight lip.

Rene sat on the porch bannister, staring into the forest. Lilith came out dancing "I think it's cocktail o'clock!" She sang. Rene giggled and took one of the cocktails from her hand "Thank you!" She hummed.
Lilith sat in front of her and gave her a slight nudge "So...you and Randall are back on?" She questioned. Rene rolled her eyes "Shut up" She laughed. Lilith giggled to herself and sipped on her cocktail. Grafton pulled up into the driveway "What does he want now?" Lilith questioned.
"Today's the day!" He called. Rene furrowed "What?" She questioned. Grafton looked at her weirdly "The undercover job! The cult thingy!" He reminded. Rene jumped and nodded "I see. I'll go get ready" She finalised before she ran inside.

Rene got into a beautiful, elegant, blue dress that carved her body shape. The door was opened and Randall knocked on it whilst leaning on the door frame. She turned around and blushed "Wow" He admired. She tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear.
"It isn't too much?" She asked. Randall walked into the room "It's perfect!" He replied. He grabbed her by the hands.
"I'm jealous that it's him taking you" He laughed. Rene tilted her head to the side "It's an undercover thing, it's not real!" She added with a grin upon her face. He nodded "I know, which makes it a lot scarier, so be careful" He finalised before gently kissing her.

Rene and Randall walked down the stairs "Princess and the chav" Jack joked. Randall mocked the laughter that filled the room. Grafton looked at Rene and smiled "Twit twoo!" He called out. Rene rolled her eyes "Let's get this over and done with" She moaned.

They arrived in front of a large manor home. They stepped out of the car and stared amazingly up at it "Fuck me!" Rene exclaimed. Grafton chuckled lightly "Time and place" He replied. Rene furrowed and looked at him disgustingly "Ew" She finalised. They began to walk then Grafton coughed. Rene looked at him, and he had his arm out.
"What're you doing?"She asked. He sighed "We have to look like a couple" He insisted. Rene rolled her eyes and obliged. They walked into the grand hall. Four, large, golden chandeliers hung from the ceiling. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. "We need to keep a low profile" Grafton ensured. Rene nodded "Your accent doesn't make that easy" She informed. Grafton looked at her slowly. Rene just grinned and picked up a glass of champagne.

Rene looked around the room and spotted a familiar face. Tommy stood by a group of younger guys "Shit!" Rene exclaimed quietly as she turned her back towards them. Grafton looked over and spotted Tommy "It's the guy from the bar! Let's go and say hi!" He exclaimed. Grafton dragged Rene over to the boys "Evening!" Grafton greeted. Tommy looked up and saw Rene "Well, well, well" He welcomed. Rene smiled awkwardly "Hi!" She exclaimed.
Tommy folded his arms "Never knew you hunted werewolves?" He wondered. Rene paused, but Grafton saved the day "We've been hunting werewolves for a long time, we know everything about them!" He filled in. Tommy grinned "To think you can't get any hotter" He honestly put.
"Thank you!" Rene and Grafton both said at the same time. They looked at each other confused then back to Tommy.

Unexpectedly, a few mic taps were heard. Everyone looked over towards the stage. There stood Corey, clear as day. Rene's eyes opened wide "Holy shit" She whispered. Grafton looked down "Don't worry, if anything goes tits up, I'll slaughter everyone" He reassured. Rene felt uneasy that very moment "Good evening everyone. I just wanted to say thank you for joining the cause, since I've been away, the numbers have grown. I couldn't be prouder" He thanked. Rene stared at him as he gazed around the room "Every single one of you have experienced the monsters that call themselves werewolves...or the Knights of Saint Christopher" He continued.
"Bastard" Grafton whispered. Rene folded her arms as she kept close to Grafton "I'm proud to say that we know where they live, and that there's an ambush happening right now!" He laughed. Grafton and Rene jumped to attention "All hale the Padlock!" He finalised then everyone cheered. Corey looked straight towards Rene then sent her a wolfish smile.
"We have to get out of here!" Rene exclaimed as she pulled Grafton along. Everyone looked at them. Corey quickly spoke, "Actually, we have my darling sister with me tonight!" He pointed out.

Rene turned around "You lied to us!" She shouted. Everyone gasped or was taking back. Grafton grabbed Rene's arm again "Let's not do this now!" He exclaimed with a high pitched voice through his teeth. Corey laughed "I also should warn everyone...she's also a werewolf!" He exposed. Tommy's eyes widened. Grafton nodded "I think this is where we run" He explained. They turned into werewolves and bolted out of the manor.

The two reached the house and saw everything was fine. Lilith looked out of the top window, and fear filled her face. Grafton and Rene entered the house, grabbed robes, and turned back into normal "Where is everyone!" Rene shouted. Everyone came out from their rooms "We're here!" Jack shouted. Rene sighed in relief "There going to be an ambush!" She warned.
