13. "What just happened?"

The vampire bat flew toward the window, Lestat tried to catch him again but failed. The bat was about to cross the window, but before it can the windows suddenly closed. The bat hit himself on the window and fell there, Lestat looked at Jason, he was holding a remote in his hand.

When Jason saw the bat flying toward the window, he noticed that the windows were still open and the bat can only escape from there, so he instantly grabbed the remote from the desk and pressed the button to close the window.

"This is called smart work.", Jason said while shaking the remote in front of Lestat in a teasing voice.

"Only if you had used your brain at first and he didn't fly away from our grip", Lestat said going towards the bat to pick him up again.

Lestat held the bat from his feet and lifted him upside down.

"What you had up your sleeves, I will make you puke out everything", Lestat said with a dark expression holding the bat up in the air.

As he turned his gaze to say something to Jason, the vampire bat turned himself into his form. Due to the sudden transformation in shape Lestat loses his grip on him.

Before Lestat could turn back to look at him, the other vampire hit him on his head from behind. Lestat stumbled on his step, he was about to hit Lestat again but Jason through a punch at him.

The other vampire looked at Jason.

"You... little shit.", the other vamp said throwing a punch at him.

Lestat came to him and kicked him on his belly before he can further hit Jason.

The two, Lestat and the other vampire, started fighting. The other vampire few punches at him but Lestat being a trained knight hit him hard multiple times.

Finally, the other vampire was on his knees. He can feel the metallic taste of fluid in his mouth, maybe one of his teeth broke because of the hard punches thrown at him by Lestat, and one of his eyes was completely bruised, he was feeling the pain throughout his body. Lestat was behind him having a clasp on his hands with his one from behind. Jason was watching all of this happening there.

"Give me your tie", Lestat asked Jason.

Jason hurriedly undid his tie and gave it to Lestat, Lestat took Jason's tie and tied both his hands and leg with that one tie. The other vampire's body squirmed and he fell on the floor with his limbs tied behind.

Now there was no hope for him to escape or get saved by his accomplice. He felt a cold sweat passing through his temple, the first time he can feel fear but not for death solely there was something more that he was afraid of.

"You have to tell everything, whatever you are hiding in your stomach.", Lestat said glaring at him.

The other vampire sneered before saying anything further.

"You are going to make me say everything, You?" the other vampire smirked at him.

"You! who don't even couldn't found my name yet, is telling me that?", he laughed at him loudly.

He suddenly stopped laughing.

"Do your prince even know my name?", he said while sniggering.

Seeing him laugh at him and Spike, he couldn't be able to hold his calm.

"I do know your name", Lestat said loudly.

"Your name is Roddy and y....", Lestat said loudly, but before he can complete his sentence that vampire's face burst with a booming sound. His blood and pieces splattered all around the room, the floor was filled with a pool of blood. Jason was quite close to him when his face burst thus his clothes were entirely covered with blood. A few drops of blood fell on Lestat's clothes too.

Jason's eyes expanded in shock at what he saw just now and the headless body with all the blood splattered on the floor.

"What just happened?", Jason asked Lestat.

Jason wiped the blood from his face.

"Ask someone to clean this room and put his body with all these pieces in cold storage. You don't need to inform Spike about this for now. He doesn't seem to be in a good mood, I will tell him later by myself.", Lestat said rot removing his gaze from the dead body.

Jason doesn't respond to him, he knew Lestat will not be listening to him even if he said so he did as he was asked. Jason called one of his men and asked him to clean the floor and put the body in a freezer.

Lestat left the reading room. It was already night by the time, and Lestat haven't taken his meal but instead of going out to hunt down people, he stayed in his room and drank the blood from the stored blood packets in his room for the night.

The next day, early morning, Lestat knocked on Spike's room. He knocked three times but he didn't open his door. Thinking he must still be sleeping, he opened the door by himself. Seeing him sitting on his bed well dressed and putting on his shoes, he squinted his eyes at him. Spike turned his face to him as he heard the door opening sound, and saw Lestat standing there holding the door knob.

"Where are you going?", Lestat asked him with suspicious eyes.

"I was just about to open the door but you came in first", Spike said turning his eyes back to his shoes to tie a knot.

"I didn't ask whether you were about to open the door or not, I am asking that if you are set to go out somewhere.", Lestat asked again.

"Yes, I am but alone. Where is that guy?", Spike replied to him shortly.

"Jason? I don't know must be in his room or at his office."

"No, the guy we brought here yesterday. What was his name, Rod..."

"Don't utter his name.", before Spike can take his name, Lestat stopped him.

"Why?", Spike asked not knowing anything that happened the previous day.

"He died and I think it because of....."
