At least, he struck me as the sort of guy who might do something like that. Though their appearance outside startled me, I remained calm and carefully waited for another flash of lightning to permit further inspection. However, they had disappeared from view by that time. The sound of my heartbeat thrummed in my ears as I contemplated any number of other unsavory possibilities. Unfortunately, the prospect of one or more of them being vampires came to mind. Suddenly I wished that it might merely be Kevin and some thug acquaintances. I retrieved my jacket and extracted a combat knife and one of the flashlights with infrared bulbs from an inside pocket. Regardless of whether they were vampires or humans, the odds dictated one against six, and that certainly wasn’t a ratio that favored me. A knock at the door caused me to start. They’re knocking? I waited, half-surprised the door wasn’t already flying off its hinges and inward at me. Another knock sounded. I took a deep breath and, in that singular moment, I decided that I wasn’t going to make things easy on whoever was waiting outside for me.
