all only children.” Bancroft said that wasn’t it at all. He wanted him dead because he was making the situation worse. “You love me, and we both know you’re not going to kill me. Save that thought for when, if you have a daughter, she wants to date someone like you. Now that would give me nightmares.”

“Shut the fuck up.” Don was really enjoying this and thought that if Bancroft didn’t kill him, he’d laugh himself into a stupor. “I don’t even know why I thought you’d be at least sympathetic with me. Here I come to you with my woes, and you tell me shit that isn’t the least bit helpful.”

“Yes, it is, and you know it. I’m trying my best not to freak you out. No, that’s not true. I am trying to do it a little and enjoying it too. But what you have to remember is that you aren’t the only person to worry over this. Nor will you be the last. It is what it is, Bancroft. Why are you so twisted up about your child coming into the world?” He told him that they were having a daughter and a son. “Good for you. You must be on top of the world. However, I surely do hope she takes after her mother. Both of them, actually. You are ugly. I’m sorry to have to tell you that, but it’s the honest to god truth. You’re an ugly man.”

They were rolling around on the ground, sort of attempting to hurt one another, when Melisandre and Aurora came to where they were. Aurora fussed at them about her garden while Melisandre held onto the tree, laughing. Getting up from the ground, he offered his friend his hand.

“I’m not going to be any more sympathetic for you than you have been for me.” Don told him he was glad to hear that. “You’re really not afraid of being a parent? I find that hard to believe.”

“I’m a very old and powerful vampire, the same as you. Anyone fucks with my kids and wife, I know it’s been said thousands of times, but I do mean it when I say no one will ever find their bodies. However, I will take pictures and hang them around the house when someone calls on one of my daughters.” Bancroft said he loved that idea. “You can use it if you wish. Even if I have to put the fear of me into their minds, my children will be as safe with dates as they would be with us, or I’ll come down on them in such a way that their ancestors will be rolling in their graves.”

“I’m not sure that talking to you had the desired effect I was hoping for, but it did calm me a little. Kelly is ready to toss me out of the house until the babies are entering college. Not that I think that will be calming enough for me, but she seems to think they’ll be able to defend themselves by then.” Bancroft stood up. “Thank you. You’ve made this old man feel at least marginally better.”

“If you two are done with your patting each other on the back, do you think we could get this thing over with?” Melisandre was beginning to sound a great deal like CJ. Following them into the room, he was glad to see there weren’t nearly as many people as there had been before lunch. “I’ve sent them all home. I don’t think we need to hear any more about how the five of them had messed with their lives. Do you?”

“No. They weren’t good people, so let’s just get this over with.” Melisandre nodded and started away, only to return to stand next to Don. “Something wrong?”

“Yes. So you know, I’ve had my people out searching for the person in charge of the things going on with CJ and you. I might have a name for you. But I don’t want you to say anything to CJ.” He said he could only do that until she asked him point-blank. “I know that, but this, if I’m wrong, will hurt our relationship, and I so enjoy having CJ around. She’s been my rock since she was born, and I think I’d wither up and die without her around to talk to me.” After asking her who it was she’d figured out, he sat down on the ground. “I know that it’s a lot for you to take in, but I’m as sure about this as I am the friendship the two of us have.”

“She’ll have to be told, and soon. I don’t think holding something this important from her is a good idea. Someone will need to inform her, and the sooner, the better.” Melisandre nodded and sat down on the chair that suddenly appeared beneath her. “I’m assuming you wish for me to do it.”

“I will. I just needed to see if you’d be there for me.” Don thought about it and told her he’d tell her. “I don’t want you to be the bearer of bad news, Don. I can tell her.”

“I would rather if you don’t mind.” She told him whatever he thought was best. “Best? That would be to hunt this person down and give them the longest death I can make for them. However, I won’t do that either. I’ll go as soon as I have this taken care of.”

“I have people watching both of them. I’ve been doing that all along, but this is so much more important than before.” He had to agree with that. “All right. I’ll wait here until you call to me. In the event that she has any questions or…I don’t know, something else I can do for either of you.”

He didn’t know what that would be but decided he wasn’t going to think about that. Today he had to kill a troll. Then later kill someone else. Things were not going to be happy around his
