The Vampire Project 18 First Targets

The next day, the interaction between President Demonfire and President h.e.l.lgazer at the party last night made a great impact to the public eye. h.e.l.lflame Inc. is the current top 1 company in the US. The Demonfire Group of Companies only started and the current rank is still unknown. Being a new company, the Demon's Fang Entertainment is the biggest in the entertainment industry which they just acquired. Aside from that President Demonfire has other plans on expanding their power worldwide. As the new President of the Demon's Fang Entertainment, the company will just be a dummy to connect to well-known people and famous stars. Their influence to the public will be a great advantage for them. Spreading gossips to hide facts, manipulating the public's reactions, collecting information and controlling the ma.s.ses are particularly the reasons why of all companies they chose to get a hand on this one. The moment President Demonfire enters his office he's ready to take action on their first target.

"Li, how's the matter in China?"

"President everything's ready."

"Tch. Whenever we're alone don't ever address me as president. I'm still not use to it." He loosens up his tie. He never liked the feeling of wearing formal clothing. As an a.s.sa.s.sin, he seldom wears one. The only exemption was the mission he once had that he actually needed to attend a formal event.

"Sorry not happening. The more we need to address you as President Demonfire for you to get used to it. Matters at home are different though but when you step out of the mansion, you're President Demonfire." Li glares at him without even blinking.

"I didn't know you can be that scary." He opens up the doc.u.ments on his table and scrolls every page.

"By the way President, I already have the information you asked me to find. Luckily, there are two out of 8 people from the list that are currently working in St. Claire Hospital. That's where Dr. Harry worked before he was sent to the facility. They are the Dr. Clark Fernandez the current head surgeon and Dr. Stacy Smith the President of the hospital. I followed them myself a day after we arrived to confirm the information before giving them to you. I have their schedules take a look at it." She pointed out the folders next to his hand. He opened it and read all the details. He grab his phone and called Diego asking him to come over to his office. After hanging up, Diego immediately went to his office.

"Knock! Knock!" Secretary Li opens the door.

"How may I help you President Slacovich Demonfire." Both Diego and Li giggled. They really like seeing Slacovich's grumpy face.

"Tch! You two." He just shrugs it off and smirks.

"So, what's up?" Diego sits on the sofa and Li served him some hot coffee then leaves the two of them to talk as she needs to handle some matters herself.

"St. Claire Hospital."

"How many targets are there?"

"Two. Find out the hospitals current market price and tell me immediately. Also try persuading shareholders to sell their shares. If no one's willing to, then do what you must to force them to sell their shares."

"Okay, I'll handle it. Three days and the hospital is ours." Diego finishes his coffee before he leaves from the president's office. He takes action immediately and instructs someone from his department to monitor the stock exchange in the market and another one to monitor the current market price of the hospitals within the area. He also told them to report to him when there's a sudden changes in the hospitals market value. Diego comes up with a good plan to deal with St. Claire hospital. The hospital is doing very well, buying some shares will be quite difficult when their prices are too high. He decided to pay a visit to Dr. Harry's office and ask about the hospital he worked before. As he walks the hall of the PR department, the girls starts circling him around. He had no other choice but to interact with them playing the charming and gentleman type of guy which drives the girls crazy over him. Manager Harry's Secretary drives off the girls away from Manager Diego and stands closely beside him making the other girls angry.

"Manager Diego, what brings you here at the PR department?" she smiles seductively.

"Is Manager Harry in his office?" he answers smiling back at her. He's used to faking his expression in public when he took over his father's bakeshop. He doesn't want it but left with no choice at all. Thinking about his father, he wonders how his been these days. He never heard anything about him.

"Yes Manager Diego, actually I'm on my way to his office to inform him about the meeting this afternoon." She leads the way to the office.

"Then I'll just follow your lead." Manager Harry's office is at the far end of the hall. The secretary knocks and he heard the man inside permitting them to come in.

"Sir, Manager Diego is here and Sir you'll be meeting with the TopChick Company at 3:00 pm regarding the promotions."

"Diego take a seat first. Secretary Jean if that's all you may leave." His secretary leaves the room, he then takes a seat on the opposite side of Diego.

"Anything I can be of help with?"

"Actually there is."

"Did you forget to drink the red pill? I have them with me all the time. Let me get it." Harry stands up to get the pills but Diego stops him.

"No, I always have it with me too. It's not about us this time. It's about you. Check your e-mail, I've sent you some files that I need you to verify." Harry feels nervous, he's afraid that he's no longer needed and they're trying to dispatch him. He clears his throat that seemed to dry up because of nervousness.

"O-okay let me check my e-mail. Did I do something wrong? Am I not useful anymore to you guys? Are you going to kill me?" he continuously ask without even opening the e-mail first. Diego can't help but laugh at Harry's reaction. He sits beside him and pats his back.

"What's going on in your head? No one would hurt you, we can a.s.sure you that. All the time you've been on our side, helped us in any ways possible. We think of you as a family. I'm sorry to laugh at you but-----"he starts laughing again making Harry embarra.s.sed. He's now more embarra.s.sed by himself and laughed it out together with Diego. When the two calmed down they discussed the details on the doc.u.ments.

"Diego what do you want me to verify?"

"You worked at St. Claire Hospital before right?"

"Yes, what's going on?"

"Who sent you to the facility?"

"General Johanssen frequently visits the hospital. He's always seen with Dr. Smith, rumours began to spread that she's able to overthrow the previous president because the state defence's general was backing her up. I'm not into gossips and such, all I did back then was work hard and help the team of biochemists to enhance the medicine they've been working on. I was just 27 that time and the others think of me as someone showing off. Dr. Smith began to notice the formulas I've been working on and said that I have the potential to help discover greater things in the medical field. She said she will endorse me to a research inst.i.tute to broaden up my skills. I agreed for I can't stand being judged and bullied by older doctors. That's why I ended up in the facility. I believed that it's for the good of the country I'm representing yet later I've realized we've become mere tools of those who are hungry for power. Dr. Brischt talked me out to it and then I started admiring his work and dedication. I am the only one he trusts of all people in there. That's how I managed to keep a blind eye to everything." Diego now knows this man would never betray them. Even if it cost him his life, Harry would never back down on his words and principles.

"Harry, Slacovich will kill those 8 people on the list. Aren't you afraid to see us kill them?" he stares at him without blinking an eye.

"Honestly, I've already seen how you guys murder everyone on the facility. I felt afraid and scared yet as the days pa.s.sed by, knowing every one of you makes me want to help you. You guys were also victims like the doctors in the facility. But I don't blame you guys. What you did was out of a burst of raging desire cause by the serum. That's why I told myself back then that if I managed to survive that very day and if you guys would let me stick around you, I will help you all I can to be better. I am one of those people who helped you become what you are now; it's my responsibility to supress each of you when you rage. I am the one who killed everyone there for I helped in creating the serum. I feel guilty seeing you guys suffer whenever you thirst, you don't wanna harm innocent people. I know you remembered every detail of the killing spree you guys did back then. I know it taunts you every night. I know you wanna stop yet you can't at that time. Th-this is the only way I can think of, I can't clear my conscience but I'll be there for you guys. Share the suffering, sorrow, pain and laughter. If you guys think that it's the only way then I'll support you. As they say, only the dead can keep a secret. And I know you all think of these through. We can't afford to let anybody else know of the facility's existence. We've already had a threat on that matter but aside from him, the others might do the same thing as he did. Taking the target down is the only way we can a.s.sure our safety and everbody else's."

"Dr. Harry, everyone heard all of it." Diego puts his phone down on the table. Dr. Harry looks at the screen showing the faces of his new family. Diego sets up a conference call without Dr. Harry noticing it. They were all touched by his sincerity and treat him as a family by heart. The girls can't hold back their tears while we all know the boys can hold back theirs.

"Dr. Harry, for us, make sure to live. We will kill you if you die and drains up your blood. Spoon out your eyes and open up your belly." Sofie managed to break a joke as she cries as the overwhelming feeling of having someone watch your backs fill through her heart.

"How are you supposed to do that when I'm dead?" Dr. Harry giggled as he tries to hold back his tears.

"You make my tears pour down in time for the shoot, OMG! I need to redo my make up." Ara chuckles as she wipes her tears. Everyone felt like being a vampire isn't that bad as long as you fight for the good of all the people you loved. Securing the innocents freedom and continuing to live for the sake of justice. Knowing that all of them are in the same boat, having a family that will always back you up; there's nothing more special than just fighting by their side for the sake of peace and justice.
