Afraid Who: Elfleda, Derek Mitchell What: First Impressions Where: Las Vegas, Derek's Apartment When: Present Ratings/Warnings: Low
There wasn’t very much to Derek’s studio apartment. It wasn’t located in the best building. He couldn’t really afford better unless he started robbing people blind before feeding off of them. Somehow, the vampire felt, that would leave to more attention thrown his way. People seemed to care more about monetary loss than blood loss. Weird.
There was a small flat-screen tv, an Xbox One, a few shelves stuffed full of video games. In front of that was a tiny couch. Tucked in a corner, a messy, unmade bed. A round table with two chairs. It was at this table that Derek sat, a battered and sticker-covered laptop in front of him. He was playing with the flash drive in his fingers, his thumb clicking the port in and out.
He hadn’t even looked at the contents yet. A paranoid part of him wondered if it was equipped with some complicated tracking device, and the second he inserted it into the computer, armed goons would break down his front door.
