Chapter 13

"Ma'am, the cook admitted to the poisoning. Apparently it started as a joke. He stated that he thought that you were a vampire and he wanted to prove it so he put some silver powder into your evening tea. He simply didn't know when the joke was over. He also stated that he didn't believe that the silver was the cause of your illness."

Walter stood in front of Integra's desk in her office. Integra sat behind her desk in a wheelchair as Alucard walked into the office in his usual wear.

"And you sure he wasn't working for anyone?"

"Yes ma'am. He was acting on his own. He has been placed under arrest as you ordered. He will be charged with attempt murder."

"Good!"

Integra looked down at the pile of papers and laptop. She looked up at Alucard and Walter and became serious in her matter.

"We have some catching up to do. Alucard!"

Alucard stepped forward and stopped in front of her desk.

"Yes master?"

"There is a vampire den in just outside of Cardiff. Go and destroy them. Walter, prepare Alucard's transport."

"Yes ma'am."

Walter bowed to her and left the room. Alucard took off his hat to her and bowed.

"Whatever you wish, Integra."

He walked to the door but stopped and looked back to her.

"What is it, Alucard?"

"Welcome back, master."

Alucard smiled softly and Integra responded back with a smile of her own.

"Now get to work!"

Alucard laughed hard as he left the room. Integra began to work on her papers when something caught her eye. She lifted the pile and saw a single rose pedal under the papers. She picked it up and examined it. Realization the connection she lifted her head quickly and was about to call out to Alucard when she saw the tall end of his trench coat turned the corner down the hall. Integra smiled softly to herself and brought the pedal to her chest close to her heart.
