Jason dropped the small camera on his desk, for 3 hours he’d walked the streets looking for young boys that the vampires would ‘like’. Jason

rubbed his eyes and started as the young voice of his partner spoke close to him, ‘where the hell have you been?’

Jason turned and stared at Matt, the boy looked bone weary and pale, he knew the ‘lost boys’ case was starting to get to him more, guilt knotted his

gut.

‘I was just walking the streets trying to fine a lead you?’

Jason watched at Matt sighed and sat on his desk, picking up the camera, ‘same, but nothing! How can kids just disappear like this? Who could do

that to them?’

Jason turned too looked at the board that Matt stared at, faces of unknown boys stared back at him, each with open unseeing eyes. Jason turned

away, he hated looked at that board, at their faces, knowing that he was the reason they where all like that. Matt stood and placed the camera back

on the desk before turning and smiling at Jason, ‘hey, my mom wanted me to ask you over for dinner.’

Jason smiled and nodded, ‘if you’re mom cooking then I’ll come.’

Matt’s brow furrowed, ‘and what’s wrong with my cooking,’ a smile curled at the boy’s lips.

Jason smiled back and sat down heavily in his chair, ‘nothing, I’m just not sure my gut is over the last meal you cooked.’

Matt snorted and moved back to the board, Jason glanced at the boy, everyday Matt would study each picture, go over the old evidence, walk the

streets, and each day the boy would find nothing. The loud scream of the phone broke Jason from his thoughts, ‘Detective Turk, how may I help

you?’

‘I wish to meet, normal time, normal place.’

The phone went dead before anymore could be said, but Jason knew who had been on the other end, Ezra. Jason stood, and started to put his

camera into his jacket when a voice called to him. Jason looked up at the captain and walked over to him.

‘What’s up boss?’

Jason let himself be ushered into the office, ‘Jason, how’s the case going?’

Jason snorted, ‘No where fast.’

The captain nodded, ‘if it’s getting too much for you and Matt...’ the captain’s voice trailed off, Jason nodded, ‘I’ll let you know if the kid starts to

crack, sir.’

With a silent nod, Jason walked out of the office, Matt was gone, Jason picked up the camera and moved past the other detectives, and out into the

cold air. Jason dropped the film off and returning to the car waited, his mind wondered back to how he had been placed in this mess...

***

‘I’ve get the other one!’

Jason held his gun steadily on the suspect, as Matt run off into the darkness to see if he could catch the other man. Jason walked towards the

suspect who lay still on the ground, ‘ok buddy let me see you’re hands!’

Jason didn’t have time to react as the suspect rolled over and pulled the second gun, the world seemed to slow, Jason heard the roar of the bullet as

it moved towards him, Jason fired his own weapon, knowing that he was dead. A blur moved from the darkness in front of Jason, pushing him

backwards, Jason fell hard, his own gun spinning from his hand. The blur slowly became a figure of a man, when the man turned Jason felt a deep

terror take over his senses. The bullet had struck the man square in the chest, he should be dead, Jason tried to scramble backwards as the man

advanced.

‘What...what do you want?’

The man chuckled and stopped, ‘you belong to me, never forget that.’

The figure seemed to disappear as Matt ran towards him, Jason had just closed his eyes and let the blackness over come him.

***

Jason sighed and collected the pictures, it was only later that he learnt that he had been rescued by a vampire, Ezra. Jason headed towards The Dolls

House, he had refused to help Ezra at first, but money and a remaindered that Ezra had saved him had convinced him that he had no choice. It had

been hard at first, watching the way others reacted to the dead boys but soon Jason felt himself numb, it wasn’t as if these boys meant anything

anyone, really who cared about some street kids dying.

The Dolls House loomed dark and silent in front of him, but Jason just walked in, knowing where the vampire would be. In the back Ezra sat,

watching Jason as he walked towards him, a long elegant hand extended from the vampire and Jason handed him the pictures. The silence stretched

out, until Ezra nodded and handed him back a single photo. Jason stood and started to walk away, ‘Jason.’

Jason turned and Ezra handed him a duffle bag, ‘have him wear this so I can see him. You’ll be paid soon.’

Jason nodded, took the bag and headed back to his car. Starting the engine Jason took a deep breath and finally turned the picture over, pain

ripped through him. The photo was of Matthew, standing staring at the board of lost boys.

I never took this, but how? Jason’s mind reeled, and then he remembered, he left the camera on his desk. Bile rose in his throat, and Jason gagged,

there was nothing he could do. He knew he had to give Ezra what he wanted but, it was Matthew. Jason loved the boy like a son, he was his partner

and friend but, Jason felt sick and yanked the door open heaving and puking until his throat burnt and his stomach was empty.

The drive back to the station was agony; the picture of Matt lay on the passenger seat, accusing Jason of betrayal. As he entered the office Matt run

over to him, a smile placed on his face, ‘I’ve got it!’

Jason just stared at him blankly, Matt’s big green eyes shone like that of a child at Christmas, his face was flushed with excitement. He dragged

Jason over to his desk and handed him a photo.

‘There!’

Jason just stared blankly, he had to contact Ezra, had to tell him no, he couldn’t hand over Matt, tear swam in his eyes, the boy was so young.

‘Jason do you see it?’ Matt pointed to a bruise on one of the boys faces, ‘it’s from the handle of a gun, if we can match...’

Jason stopped listening, and stared hard at the photo, the bruise showed the pattern of the handle of a gun, and Jason felt his blood run cold, it was

going to match his gun. Panic formed in his stomach he had to get rid of this picture, but what about...

‘Did you tell anyone else?’

‘Mmm...No I wanted to see if we could get a clearer shot I...’

‘I have a lead.’

Jason raised his head, the eagerness filled Matt’s face, guilt moved in Jason’s gut but he forced himself to push onwards.

‘Yeah all the boys where seen at a club, The Dolls House, the captain wants us to check it out.’

‘Great, how many on the tea...’

‘Wait, hot shot.’ He handed the duffel bag over to Matt, ‘he wants you to go undercover to check the club out first, then we get a team together.’

Matt smiled, ‘cool, when do we go?’

‘Now, give me the photo and you go get changed.’

Jason took the photo and watched as Matt disappeared into the changing rooms, Jason watched as the door closed and waited half a heartbeat

before moving to waste bin. Slowly he tore up the picture and waited for Matt to exit the room, he forced himself to felt nothing, but his eyes moved

to the lost boy’s board, and his heart sank, knowing that soon, he’d be placing Matt’s face there too...
