Of Warlocks and Zeus

Peter Whitstable the man known as the Fox Mulder of Interpol was sitting in the bar at the Davenport Hotel in Spokane, Washington having a Bloody Mary.

It was then that he noticed Canadian vampire hunter Dracul Van Helsing.

"Dracul," Whitstable called him over.

"Peter," Van Helsing nodded.

"Say did you hear the rumour around here that some satanic warlock fell down the elevator shaft in this hotel last night and was killed?" Peter sipped his Bloody Mary.

"I heard that," Dracul nodded, "there seems to be a rash of satanic warlocks falling down hotel elevator shafts in America's Pacific states this past week."

"Yes, it's curious isn't it?" Whitstable adjusted his tie.

Van Helsing dropped a hotel key into an envelope and sealed it.

"So what are you doing here?" Whitstable asked.

"Oh, just staying here a couple of days and then heading to the Wedgewood Hotel in Vancouver," Van Helsing answered.

"Say, I hear that the ancient Greek vampire Zeus has been seen in several vicinities across the world recently," Whitstable remarked.

"Including a TV car commercial for the new Scion High Voltage tC," Dracul noted.

"What's his game plan?" Whitstable asked.

"Same game plan as the Egyptian vampiress Isis and the Aztec feathered serpent god Quetzalcoatl," Dracul stated, "hoping to gain the worship of mortal men again and in the case of the sex maniac Zeus particularly the worship of mortal women."

To be continued.
