The eight men who had been caught and tied up at the back, were the same men that had caused the commotion in the club. Seeing this, Quinn was just wondering what Vincent was planning to do with them.
More than once now he had heard multiple people refer to people in the tenth as crazy and perhaps Vincent was also one of these crazy people. Just what was he planning to do with them, Quinn wondered.
However, Quinn didn’t get to find out the answer to that. The reason being, whatever they had planned to do, the task was left to Edward and the others as Quinn followed to live on in Vincent’s memory.
It was strange for Quinn, he thought that maybe once he had seen the scene he needed to see, he would be transported to the next one. Same as what had happened with the bone claw. Linking all together why he was being shown these things. Instead, Quinn was forced to continue watching Vincent’s every move.
He saw him leave the nightclub and head back home. Clean his apartment before waiting for the sun to rise and falling asleep. If anything, it was boring. This didn’t happen just once, but it was as if Quinn was stuck in a simulation.
Every day he would follow Vincent’s life, of going to the nightclub at night, working. Incidents like what happened on the first night would happen every night, but it was rare for him to get involved. Because Vicent wouldn’t directly get involved, Quinn didn’t really see if anything strange would happen with them like he did the first night.
As the days continued, Quinn realized that this was more than just seeing Vincent’s memory. He was living them and suddenly; he was starting to feel very lonely. Each day in and out doing the same thing. Not a change in routine, and even the small differences that would happen throughout the day felt the same.
Quinn was wondering if he could live like this and if his life at the castle would have been any different if he did.
While Quinn was living his life as Vincent, the lives of others would continue on as well, and this was true for one in particular. For a girl with long black hair was sitting at her desk, with a mountain of paperwork in front of her.
"Arghhh! What the hell is wrong. Do they really have to know every little detail of what happened?" She said screaming as she was going to pull her hair out.
Just then, the man who had come to the club with her that day came towards her desk and threw several pieces of paper. Katie lifting her head had a look at them and each one had a picture on the top right-hand corner.
"These are the people from the club, Gavin?" Katie asked.
"Yeah, it’s a little strange. Their family doesn’t seem to be concerned they’re missing. Not one of them, but their workplace was the one that filed the missing report. Apparently, one of the guys who works with them was concerned and went to check up on him, but when he went to his apartment, there were no signs of him ever returning there." Gavin explained.
"So the last place they were seen was at that nightclub?" Katie asked with a dissatisfied look, as she remembered the events that occurred there last time.
"Alright, let’s check it out tonight then."
Katie stood up from her seat, and around her waist, a certain badge could be seen with the words detective written on them.
That night, Quinn was going through Vincent’s usual routine now, and he felt so strange he was wondering when it was going to end. It wasn’t as if time passed faster while in Vincent’s body. Every minute felt real to him. It was making him understand why some vampires eventually chose to go into eternal sleep. For how many years had he been doing the same routine.
The other thought that had crossed his mind was the fact that leaders were meant to stay at the castle. It was clear Vincent hadn’t left the vampire settlement yet at this point and time, for several vampires including Edward were still by his side.
Had they given him a mission? If so, what one was it, but it looked as if Quinn would soon find out, for something had changed in the everyday routine.
"Vincent, today the quota needs to be met, we have prepared everything as usual," Edward said.
That night, the nightclub opened as usual, but this time. Rather than staying in his private room watching from above. Vincent had chosen to be on his own at the bar. Drinking a strong, clean whisky. Whenever it was a night like this one, he would do the same.
A vampire’s taste was strange. They weren’t able to taste many things, so they couldn’t really appreciate what humans had. Oftentimes he would see people gather just to enjoy a meal, but he would never experience the joy of something like that. But Vincent and other vampires could appreciate the taste of good alcohol.
"Well, I wonder what the big-shot owner is doing here in front of all of the normal folk like us." A female voice said.
