Detective Mark Hughes: You...you lied, Alex. All this time, you were the monster. points gun, hands shaking
calm down mark it's not what you think
Mark's voice trembles with anger and sadness, his finger tightens on the trigger
Oh, really? Then why don't you explain to me how my partner of ten years has been lying about being a goddamn vampire this whole time?!
I get up slowly my eyes on Alex. I told you he would find out eventually.
Mark's eyes dart between the two of you, his voice cracking with anger and sadness.
Shut up! Shut up!
He grips the gun tighter as he stares at Alex, trying to make sense of this revelation.
I'm still passed out on the floor
Detective Mark Hughes glances over at your unconscious body, torn between his anger towards Alex and concern for your well-being.
Mark: under his breath Damn it, what have they done to him?
put the fucking gun down! I yell.
Detective Mark Hughes keeps his gun pointed at Alex but glances over to you
And why should I do that? You've been lying to me for years, Alex! Twenty years of service together, and you're a goddamn vampire!
that's my job I have no choice she says sadly
No choice? Bullshit. gun still pointed You had a choice when you decided to become a goddamn monster!
I look at my partner Alex and say He doesn’t know?
Mark looks at you in surprise, his voice filled with a mixture of confusion and anger Who the hell are you?
Put the gun down, Mark! He's not worth it!
Mark's voice trembles with anger and sadness He's not worth it? Alex was supposed to be my partner in every sense! We were supposed to grow old together...and now you're telling me he's been lying all this time?
Alex smiles and lets out a evil chuckle
Mark's grip tightens on the gun, knuckles turning white
Don't laugh at me! I trusted you. For twenty years, I thought we were partners...and lovers. How could you do this to me?
I told you that he's my brother and yes he's a vampire but he wouldn't hurt anyone
Mark looks at Henderson with a mixture of disbelief and anger.
Your brother is a vampire? And I'm just supposed to believe that he wouldn't hurt anyone? That doesn't make any sense!
yeah but I did it to save people’s lives I say as I slowly walk towards Alex and grab the gun from Mark’s hands
Mark's eyes widen as you take the gun from his hands, feeling a mix of shock and frustration.
What the hell are you doing? You can't just take the gun! This monster has been deceiving me for years, and now you're protecting him?
