Blood hunt

Cont'd

The limo pulls up to a large piece of farmland in Abbotsford. Again, the driver gets out to open the door from his passengers, getting mud on his polished shoes. Jack climbs out of the limo, squeezing thru the door. "Damn, are them door shrinkin'?" He looks around, expecting to see a nice estate in North Van, not a muddy farm. "The hell we doin' here?"

As Mathias got out of the limo, Drake strode over to the car. "Thanks for coming. Please excuse my secrecy in bringing you here. I assure you, it was necessary. Please, come inside."

Drake lead the two of them to what appeared to be a bomb shelter. Inside, it appeared to be a military training facility. "This is Snake's place. He has been building a specialized security force here for a few months."

"Heh. Way to go, kid." Jack smirks.

"Jack, I have something to tell you. Drakonis has issued a blood hunt on you. Right now, this is the only place you'll be safe. Mathias, I want you to stay here with Jack. I don't want him to be left here alone."

"Uh-huh. Are ya sure you're not just tryin ta get us outta yer way?" Mathias looks at Drake suspiciously.

"Jack is in trouble. Are you going to help or not?"

"Fine. I'll help, ol man. But not 'cause you asked. I need someone to beat at poker." Mathias nudges Jack in the ribs with his elbow. "I hope you brought some cash. Looks like we're gunna be here a while."
