Daniel leaned against the phone booth and crossed his ankles. There was a motorist standing near the edge of the parking lot and the vampire watched him, wondering if he was about to have a confrontation, but the man was only checking the air in his tires. After he got the gauge reading, he got in his car and drove off, leaving Daniel in the quiet.
He was about to launch into the story when the streetlamp nearest him flicked and buzzed. A tickle of cold air touched his neck. Daniel rubbed at the spot and looked at the wall. “Hang on…” He set the receiver down and took a few steps to investigate.
This time, the wind blew hard enough to rustle the empty can down the way. He cued up the radio and said, “Uh, I think this thing is about to wake up.”
After a few seconds, a groggy female voice came over the channel. “Let me know if you need back-up.”

Daniel answered a hesitant, “…kay.”
