Chapter 171: Joining the hunt

"Are you sure you found the right information?" came the voice of Conner's father. 

"Yes, it's positive. Six hunters have gone missing from the checkpoint in the South," informed her father, and Melanie watched the vehicle being pulled to the front as if they were going somewhere. "Nobody has seen or heard from them. We should be able to find something if we look now. 

Conner's father nodded his head, and he said, "The vampires must be hurdling out from their den in pain. The security in the hospital has been raised so that there won't be any possibility of compulsion."

"That's good. I see you are bringing Conner with you," said her father, and Melanie's eyebrows furrowed. She moved to the other side of the window, pushing the curtain again to notice Conner walking and coming to stand next to his father. He had worn a jacket to resist the cold, his hands empty.
