Chapter 240 - Famine (2/2)
”You...”
”Sorry. Sorry. I mean, you were rubbing on me so much that I couldn't help myself,” considering he had just choked this attractive looking girl on his l.a.p, it would have been more strange if Laz didn't have a reaction, even putting the condition of her body aside. Or he thought so at least, which led to another interesting thought.
'Am I into this kind of thing?'
Laz wasn't sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing that he asked himself this question without knowing the answer.
Strangely enough, Laz wasn't the only one embarrassed as Ivy became a bit red as well, something he didn't think he would ever see.
”You... You don't mind that... I'm like this?” She asked, almost fearing the answer.
”Uh. Well. No. Cause... it's just who you are? I guess?” Laz didn't know how to explain himself and answered with whatever came to mind, causing Ivy to become more red.
Despite that, she quickly collected herself and put the mask back into place, causing her face to become icy cold yet again.
”Should I go get another one?” Laz asked.
Ivy simply shook her head and walked over to the door, waving for Laz to join her.
Laz could see that she had questions.
”We found out that it was that damn religious group that wanted to kidnap people.”
”I knew it.” Julia replied, not saying much else. Seeing her in thought, Laz decided he would ask a few questions of his own.
”So why were you looking for these guys?”
”Everyone is looking for them. You know of the vampyres and the Vodun right?” Julia asked.
”Well, yeah.”
”Oh, sorry. Yes. You would.” Julia's glance rested on the now closed door before turning back to Laz.
”Well, there are quite a few groups that have formed here as well. Any groups of a certain size end up forming themselves into an official unit or guild, to use an old term for it. The whole point of doing that is for protection and support. The government has been cracking down on use lately and no one wants to be caught alone.”
”Makes sense although I would think that normally people would try to stay away from larger area's like this. You know, a quiet spot in the woods and all that?” It didn't make sense to Laz why people would gather in a large populated area when they were trying to hide.

”The problem with that is when you live in a smaller area, you stand out more. People tried living in communities out in the middle of nowhere starting around a year ago. But every time they gathered like that, the feds would come in and raid the place. Anyone found living in the community, infected or otherwise would be taken away. After word of that spread around, that idea was dropped.”
”Ah.” That made sense.
”So now, most infected end up moving to the city. At first it was dangerous since you would try to located a safe place but you never knew who you were coming in contact with. That's when the database first became an open secret.”
”The database?”
”The one with the listing of who's who, who you can trust and so on.”
”But isn't that just asking to be taken over and stolen by the government?” Laz figured that something that big would be a target if they really wanted to crack down on the infected.
”Well, that's the strange part. You see, there is something in there that can tell if the one accessing it is an infected and if they are being used. It's almost like... the website is a living person....”
”That's...” Laz kind of had an idea what she was talking about with the website, but it sounded too crazy to think it could be a living thing. He was reminded of the website that Vivi used to use and wondered if that was the same thing. He regretted not looking into it sooner.
”Can I have the address?” Laz asked, wanting to check it out.
”I can't give it to you, I can only show it to you,” Julia apologized. It was part of the security of the website. The address couldn't be given out, it could only be shown by someone who had been accepted. It was part of a security protocol or so she said.
”Alright. Later then.” Laz didn't question what she said since she agreed to show him.
”What's she doing in there?” Julia knew the answer, but felt like it was way to quiet. At least the last time, she had heard screaming. She had been a bit scared, but after remembered what these three had done, she didn't mind it so much.
”Getting answers.”
It didn't take long before the door opened one last time. This time, Ivy came out alone, waved Julia and Laz over before grabbing and pulling the last kidnapper over by the hair and into the room.
As they followed her inside, Laz saw that there were two squirming bodies laying next to each other, being eaten alive from the inside out.
Just this sight alone was enough for the man to spill his guts with everything he knew.
