Summary: Another Tuesday night for Matt the security guard.
There are still straggling students in the building when I go to lock up. Most of them are women, strategically haunting the hallway outside Dr. Suresh’s classroom. Guess it’s Tuesday again. I don’t mind, I get paid to watch over this dinky little campus for another three hours. I’ve gotten used to skipping my coffee break on the nights he teaches.
What’s he doing this semester…Bio. Logy and the. Occult. Vampires. What on earth…? Must be something good, he’s got a packed house. That’s surprising for a night class, but it is Suresh after all. He could talk about Icelandic potato bugs for an hour and still have a full class.
It’s hypnotizing, that voice. I once zoned out listening to him give directions to someone on his cell phone. If the teaching gig never panned out, there’s a career in phone sex just waiting for him.
Parkman. Mind out of gutter, back on job. Shady student type off the starboard bow. Hello sweetheart. That’s right, you know you aren’t supposed to be using the computers in here for…shit. Ok, turn the monitor off and get out of the lab, and I’ll pretend I never saw that. Lights out, door locked. Girls these days scare me. It’s those Japanese cartoons, I swear.
“Good evening Officer Parkman.”
Hoo boy. There’s that voice. What’s up, Doc? Man, I can’t believe that line still makes you smile. Glad it does. That smile makes me jelly-kneed. It’s beautiful, like a sword edge. Sharp. Dangerous. You know it too, I can tell.
“I’m sorry to inconvenience you, but I have a few projects I need to get out to the car. They’re a bit unwieldy, and I’m parked in lot G…”
Lot G? Damn, you got shafted. Need a hand?
“It would be a great help. Some of my students were a bit…enthusiastic.”
Pile it on and lead the way. So I get a nice, long, uninterrupted view. I don’t mind a bit. Say, what’re you teaching this semester, anyway? Looks like a big hit. And no wonder. Hell, if I had a grand to spare, I might be tempted to sit in a room and stare at you for an hour. I got this, take the smaller one. Uh oh, glare alert. So you can reach your keys later.
“It’s an interdisciplinary course. Biology cleverly wrapped in an English literature shell, and all to do with the possible existence of vampires.”
You think they might be real? What a nice night. Glad the rain stopped, should make my perimeter patrol easier. Hmm. The lights blew in the back section of the parking lot. At least the moon’s out. That’s something at least.
“It’s entirely possible that evolution has produced humans that exhibit the traits commonly associated with the modern ‘vampire’.”
Haha. Like what, unearthly beauty and impossibly good-looking hair? You’d fit the bill in that case. It’s criminal for any to look as fuckable as you do without any effort. Especially when you smile…like that.
“Perhaps. Many scholars believe the vampire mythos is just an outlet or a symbol of repressed sexuality.”
…did you really have to draw that last word out? I’m glad I’m lugging this box. Geez, you just had to park all the way in Southwest Bumfuck. Hey wait…why are you parked all the way out here? By the time you come in, the better spots are mostly clear.
“Scientifically speaking, the attractive features, hypnotic stares and alluring voices commonly associated with vampires could simply be naturally occurring methods that help the predator catch prey and ensure survival.”
Quit your day, er night job please, switch over to the sex line. My credit card can take the strain. Uh. Wow…that’s a bit of a stretch. Car! Finally. Sorry, gotta put this box on the trunk.
“You disagree, Officer Parkman?”
Not if you say my name like that again. W-well I mean, that seems suspicious, don’tcha think? If I were a vampire- Woah. You got close really fast there Doc.
“If you were a vampire?”
Dark eyes, sinful, black silk sheets and lashes- I would be different. Than that.
“How so? Tell me.”
You magnificent bastard, you’re doing this on purpose, luring me on purpose. I wouldn’t be um. Showy. Why are you getting so close-Why can’t I move? It’s smarter to blend in, to seem… You can’t be doing this. It’s insane. Too close too close too close- Harmless. Like I belong. Shit shit shit I can feel your body heat please don’t get-
“A wolf in sheep’s clothing?”
Fuck Suresh. You just don’t get it. No. Sheep can scent out something impersonating one of them. God it feels good to get my hands on you. A smart wolf puts on a shepherd’s costume.
Don’t give me that look. You had a chance to run. But you don’t really want to escape, do you? I didn’t think so. I can taste the joy in your blood. I shouldn’t be so surprised. You science types are always so excited when you’re proven right.
