Perry, Vamp-dog 

Part 7-- by Deb 

  
Nick turned to see LaCroix standing there. 
"Well Nicholas, what do you have to say for yourself?" LaCroix asked. 
"Ummm... Nothing. I guess." 
"As I thought." Lacroix said and turned to Jody. 
"What is wrong, my dear? Don't you like eternal life?" 
"Not really. Perry makes me drink cat blood and he wants me to kill for 
him." 
"That is your Duty. It isn't something masters ask for nothing. We ask 
it of you so you will be efficient on your own, and not starve to 
death." 
As they were discussing the roles vampires play, Perry walked in the 
room. Telepathically, he asked Jody, "what is this a vampire convention?" 
"No" she answered. 
"Tell LaCroix I said hello." 
"Perry says hello, LaCroix." 
He nods his head at the dog, who is most confused. 
" Perry come and sit with me." LaCroix said to the dog. 
He jumps up on the couch next to LaCroix. As LaCroix and Perry watched 
the goings on between Nick and Jody, Tracey walked into the room. 
LaCroix stood and put out his hand to her, "Hello, You must be Tracey." 
"Yes and you are?" 
"Lucien LaCroix." he said in his soft velvet voice. 
"Nick I think we should go. We have a case to solve. And I have to meet 
Javier." 
"Oh yes, Javier, I know the young man well." LaCroix said to Tracey. 
" Perry I will fill you in on what has transpired here later. Right now 
I have a radio show to do." 
With a whoosh he was gone. 
"He makes me nervous." Tracey said to Nick. 
"He is alright. You just have to know him." Nick answered. 
"Are you leaving Nick?" Jody asked. 
"Yes. I have a case that needs to be worked on and I only have 
twenty-four hours to solve it." 
"Can I see you later at your place?" 
"Sure. I will be home around seven." 

  
Okay there is my little piece...........Let's see who's next??? 
Jane it's your turn. With a chuckle I run and hide under a table.
