James was unaware of all this. For him he wasn't surprised by the call from Jeremy. After all they were here for hours now and dawn was almost upon them.
He didn't know why but something kept festering deep inside him. Despite the call wasn't that suspicious, he felt something was off. Yet he couldn't pinpoint his fingers on it.
How could he know that Jeremy saw what he did? After pondering about it for sometime, he realized that this might all be thanks to his hidden sense of guilt.
He got Rachel and hid her away. About what he planned for her later on, he didn't yet decide. He had such a golden card to use, a valuable player that was away from the game for so long.
He had to think thoroughly about what he should do with her, yet he had to finish his battle here first.
He was now conquering the forces of vampires all around the city. The deeper he got, the fiercer the resistance became.
