EXCERPT:

Ace set up her equipment quickly and efficiently.  Thankfully, she’d been paid to capture the night scenes of local wildlife in the park.  Night Life magazine wanted shots of the randier human populace, and not the animals that inhabited Wilson Court Park.  The sun had just set, though it was nowhere near dark quite yet.  She would return later to catch the midnight crowd, but for now she wanted some test pictures.

A young couple came into the park, and hoping for some good pictures, Ace started photographing them.  Through the view finder, she watched the couple necking as she captured them on film.  When the dark-haired man lifted his head, she saw blood stains on his lips.  As he snarled, Ace caught a glimpse of the sharp white fangs.

Shocked, Ace lowered the camera just to make sure of what she was seeing.  As she stared at him, she could clearly see his face and raised the camera to take his picture before he moved to help the young girl to a nearby bench.  Glancing over at the young woman, she appeared to be fine although she stared vacantly into space.  When Ace looked back for the man, he’d already disappeared.

Quickly, she ran over to the girl who appeared no more than dazed.  Helping the girl up, Ace saw there were no marks on her throat, and only a small smear of blood remained on her skin.

“Are you ok?  What just happened?”  Steadying the girl on her feet, Ace stilled the slightly swaying body.

“What?  Who are you?”

“I’m Ace Cameron.  Who was that guy?”

“What guy?  What are you talking about?”  Clearly, the girl had no recollection of anything at all.

After getting the girl’s name and address, Ace got her out of the park and into a cab, sending her home.

Ace’s mind raced furiously as she headed back to her car, the assignment for Night Life completely forgotten.  If she hadn’t already had a sneaky suspicion of her own that vampires did exist, she probably would have blown the incident off as just being really weird.  However, Ace knew what she had seen.  Keeping the camera in her lap, she drove back to her office to develop the pictures.
