Drake opened his eyes. He always tended to wake before Scud. Rather than rouse him, Drake got out of bed and went to the dresser pulling out the gift wrapped box. He wanted to Scud to have something to remind him that someone did care about him.
At first it was all about feeding the demon. Since sex only happened when the need to feed was upon Drake, he and Scud had plenty of time to talk. Scud's life had been difficult, empty; not a life at all but an existence handed from one vampire owner to another. And yet Scud had come through it all with the ability to care still intact. When you got beyond the smart-assed stoner exterior, Scud was loyal, eager to please and even still a bit naïve.
Drake walked back to the bed and looked down at the dark haired man. When he was at rest, Scud seemed so young, so innocent. One hundred years from now, Drake would wake and look down on this same face. He reached out and brushed aside a lock of the too long brown hair revealing the mole that resided just to the left of Scud's mouth.
That mark drew attention to Scud's mouth. Drake would never get used to the stares Scud got from women and men alike. Or the lust he inspired in them, but Scud belonged to Drake. Scud didn't even notice the attention.
Drake sat on the side of the bed and brushed his lips across Scud's temple and whispered, “Wake up love. I have something for you.”
Scud opened his eyes, blinking up at Drake. “Good morning.”
“You look much better this morning, no bruises.” Drake said.
Scud sat up, “I knew they would fade while I was at rest. Guess I'm ready for round two. But you have to stay calm, Babe. Blade is right you know. Hassan is going to try to kill me, I'm going to have to be able to fight back against him like he's trying to kill me.” Scud stretched and sighed. “Did I hear you say you had something for me?”
Drake held out a wrapped box, “I wanted you to have something to remind you that I love you.”
Scud sat up and took the box, “You're going to spoil me.” He said removing the wrapping paper to reveal the box from the jewelers. “Drake, do you know how expensive they are?”
“I'm the CEO and owner of Talos Industries, I think I can afford it.” Drake said with a smile. “Well are you going to open it or just admire the box?”
Scud opened it revealing the bracelet. He read the inscription. “Drake, I know I'm loved. You worry about me, protect me, take care of me.” Scud leaned forward and kissed Drake. “Thank you, for loving me and making sure that I always know that.” Scud said placing the bracelet on his wrist while Drake to fastened it in place.

Hannibal stood in the training room with Abby. “Don't worry I'll make short work of pretty boy and then we'll go out for coffee.”
Abby saw Blade looking at them with a smirk. “Hannibal, you might be underestimating him.”
“Scud?” Hannibal laughed. “The only thing that whore knows how to do is bend over and offer his ass to every vampire that comes along.” Hannibal glared at Scud when he entered the room with Drake at his side. “See, look at how he's all sucked up to Drake.”
“You said he's a shifter, do you even know what else he's capable of?” Abby asked.
“It doesn't matter, all he's ever been is a fuck toy for suckheads.” Hannibal said taking off his shirt.
Across the room Blade listened to Hannibal brag as Drake and Scud walked up to him.
“Blade,” Drake nodded “What is this? Hannibal and Scud?”
“I figure the two of them can get rid of some of that bad blood.” Blade said as Scud walked over to the side of the room to remove his shirt. Lowering his voice so only Drake could hear, “King needs a lesson in humility and Scud needs a confidence boost.”
Seeing Scud coming back, Blade spoke to him. “You healed completely, good. All I want you to do is keep King from touching you, of course if you want to give him a couple of love taps along the way I won't stop you. Just remember, he won't heal like you do.”
Scud and Blade walked to the center of the room and Hannibal joined them. “I'm just refereeing this thing.” Blade said “One rule, no killing each other or serious injury.”
Drake looked down as Scud's cell rang. Noticing it was Delores' office extension he picked up the phone. “We'll be right there.” Walking over to where Blade was talking to the two he interrupted. “This is going to have to wait. The police want to speak to us.”

“Hello, Detective Moss, I'm Josh Frohmeyer, Mr Drake's assistant.” Scud said shaking the detectives hand. “Mr Drake will be joining us in a moment, can I get you a cup of coffee?”
“No thank you. I'd just like to ask a few questions.” The plainclothes cop said.
“Certainly, Come into my office.” Scud said opening the door. “Delores, make sure we aren't disturbed.”
The woman nodded as the two disappeared in the office.
“Please have a seat,” Scud said as he rounded the desk to sit in his chair. “It's not often we get a visit from the police, I have to admit to being curious about the reason you asked to see us.”
“I'd rather wait for Mr Drake to join us if you don't mind.” The officer said looking around. “Nice office. All I have is a cubicle at the station.”
The door opened admitting Drake. Scud stood up “Mr Drake this is Detective Moss, he'd like to ask us some questions." Scud said, moving to lean against the wall behind the desk leaving the chair for Drake.
“Did I forget to pay my parking tickets again?” Drake said with a smile as he sat down.
“Oh no nothing like that, something a bit more serious I'm afraid.” The detective answered. “The city picked up trash in this area yesterday. They were dumping the truck that did the pick ups along this route and discovered the body of a woman. She had been strangled to death and her body placed in a dumpster. We were able to identify her fairly quickly, she was wearing her work uniform from J&S Janitorial Services. This is the only building in this area that they hold a contract for.”
“Yes, they acquired the contract under the previous owners.” Scud said.
“Their work was satisfactory we saw no reason to change. I had Josh renew the contract when it expired.” Drake answered.
“You said that you had identified her. We had an established crew that came in. We treated them rather like employees of the company.” Scud said. “We gave them bonuses at Christmas, access to our employee credit union, things like that. We would like to help the family. It's standard procedure with our own employees.”
“Talos sounds like a generous company to work for.” Moss said. “You don't see that too often.”
“We have good employees, it makes sense to take care of them, Detective.” Drake said.
“Her name was Graciela Viero.” Moss saw Scud's reaction. “You knew her Mr Frohmeyer?”
“She cleaned this floor. I was acquainted with her, yes. We would speak in passing on nights I worked late.” Scud shook his head. “She had two small children, a husband. It's a tragedy.”
“Yes it is, she was a hard worker.” Drake agreed. “Whatever we can do to help you, just let us know.”
“Well to start, I've noticed several cameras in the building, CCTV? Do you record or just monitor?”
“Digital recording.” Scud answered. “I'll call security and have them give you access.”
“That would be a big help. What time did they clean?” Moss asked. “It would help me narrow down a search time.”
“They usually came in somewhere around 8 or 9 pm. They logged in and out with security, I'll instruct them to show you the logs too.” Scud said.
“Well then, that is all I need for the moment.” Moss said as he stood up.
Scud handed the detective a business card. “If you need anything else please call. We'll have our head of security meet you at the reception desk in the lobby.”
“Thank you Mr Frohmeyer, Mr Drake.” the detective shook hands with each of them and left the office.
Once the door was closed, Drake said. “Hassan.”
“Are you sure? I mean she was strangled.” Scud said.
“Hassan has a familiar on the inside. Why don't you go help Detective Moss? You might spot someone who didn't belong with the crew.” Drake said. “I'm going to go talk to Blade, we're going to have to find out where he is hiding before he finds out who you are.”
