Saturday morning, he'd showered, then stood in front of the sink to shave, a towel wrapped around his hips. The cut on his throat was healing. Only two small marks remained. Spreading shaving cream on his jaw, Brock looked at the printout he had made from his computer and taped on the mirror. "LOVE CONQUERS ALL" had been written in bold text and displayed everywhere in his penthouse. Once, years ago, he had attended a seminar about succeeding in business. The motivational speaker had suggested putting affirmative quotes around the house, reinforcing the ideas. Brock needed this idea to work. But he couldn't do it solo. One thing was desperately missing. Daniel Wolf. Had Daniel abandoned him? Was the last meeting they had the end? Perhaps it was some vampire credo to either kill or disappear once they had revealed themselves. Would Daniel kill him? Or was this just the vanishing act. Gone forever. Brock doubted that Daniel could actually murder him. Then again, in the vampire books and movies, the bloodsuckers did tend to kill their victims.
