The headlights flashed against the building as the car neared the house, well from what I could tell with only the few lamps lighting the outer perimeter of the place it would be considered more a mansion then a simple house. The lights from the car illuminated the figure standing at the door and from the person's build I was guessing it was a male.
I had slowly pulled to a stop at the walk, easing the door open I emerged slowly from the vehicle, gently closing the door behind me before I walked the short stone path to the door.
"I am assuming you are from the Firm." Were the first words I spoke. My eyes did a quick glance over of the man.
"Yes, I'm Lindsey." He said in response, offering out his hand a bit hesitantly in my opinion.
"Well Lindsey, shall we step inside." More of a comment then a question as I took the offered hand, giving it a light shake before my fingers released it.
"Of course, Kaethe." He replied. He turned to grasp the handle of the door, with a single twist of the door knob he had the door open. Staying to the side as to allow me to enter first.
I was given a brief tour of the premises, which I found quite to my liking. The place had three floors, the top floor was mostly for storage, but did have a exceptional large room which I think had previously been used as a study/office. The second floors held five bedrooms and what I was told had previously been a small,private library. The main floor had the usual, a kitchen, a dining room, a study and a living/entertainment room. The was also an indoor swimming pool and large library.
"As you have seen the place does'nt have much in the way of furnishing, but I am guessing you want to tend to that yourself and not have had it done for you." Lindsey was saying as we walked back to the large foyer. "There are packs of fresh blood in the refrigerator, courtesy of the Firm." He added.
"You are right, I would prefer to pick out the furnishings myself as my tastes in furniture varies greatly from that of most people. As for the blood you have supplied, it is appreciated, but I prefer choosing where or more to the point, whom I take it from."
"Well, if you need anything Kaethe," Lindsey said as he took a business card and pen from on inside pocket of the suit jacket he wore."I will be here the next couple of days as there are a few more of your kind that will be arriving in Sunnydale." Lindsey quickly wrote on the back of the card where he was staying and the phone number of the hotel.
"I shall keep that in mind, Lindsey." I said in return, accepting the business card he offered to me, slipping it into the side pocket of my jacket.
After Lindsey had left I retrieved my and Adina's bags from the trunk of the car, then retrieved my little pet from the backseat. Everything was left on the floor of the foyer as I decided, seeing that it was still early enough in the evening for things to still be happening in the town and I was sure some businesses would still be open for me to do a bit of shopping.
Slipping the house keys, which I now had in my possession, into my pocket I returned again to the car. I was then driving down the gravel path leading away from the house, turning then onto the street that would take me to the heart of Sunnydale.
