WHO: Drifter, Keara, and open to Aden
WHAT: Dead body discovered
WHEN: 8/27; around 11pm.
WHERE: College campus parking lot
RATING: Likely High...it's Drifter.

With a soft sigh Drifter looked on; a puff of smoke escaping his lips as the vampire took another drag from his cigarette. The red and blue flashing lights had drawn the attention of the undead musician. Yet as he looked on at the frenzy of cops and coeds milling about the campus parking lot Jeremiah just felt bored. The body had been discovered just a few hours ago; another one of his countless victims. In all honesty Jeremiah had just swung by the college to drop off his little song bird, but seeing the commotion piqued his curiosity. Sadly instead of finding something of interest the vamp just lazily watched as the police started to tape off the area.

For decades he had been feeding off the human population now, leaving countless corpses in his wake. For all that though Drifter never once felt even an ounce of regret, much less any remorse or guilt. With few exceptions he counted the majority of the mortal population as little more than cattle, and the dead girl laying out in the parking lot had been just a means to sate his unquenchable blood lust. As another drag of smoke was taken at last as the vampire found himself bored of watching the police putter about. He was just about to turn and head back to his motorcycle, yet something out of place caught his attention. There by the body he spotted a woman, whose hair was colorful indeed. Those enhanced senses of his came in quite handily as Jeremiah studied her from a distance. Such an odd thing she was yet clearly the woman was a cop too. With the slightest arch of his eyebrow Drifter looked on, wondering if there might be more to the woman that meets the eye.

He made no effort to draw any nearer, nor did he try to leave either. Instead the man in the leather jacket just stood there in the shadows, smoking and silently looking on as the crowd of coeds started coming out to see what all the fuss was about. With a smile, hidden behind the hand holding a cigarette, he listened to the cries from a student who saw her dead friend. Such a heart wrenching sound to be sure, and one that almost brought on a full chuckle. Still Jeremiah managed to hold his tongue, and continued to look on from his safe distance. Maybe tonight wouldn't be as boring as he initially feared...

"I know you respect me, otherwise I would've asked for a new partner years ago. It's some of the other asshats. Plus my ass is awesome no matter the gender." She smirked at the heckling, used to it. It was just the kind of asshole Aden was, and that was ok with Keara.

"Great, so curiousity doesn't necessarily mean murderer." But it was the best they were getting at the moment. None of the prints had matched anyone yet, and vampires weren't easy to discover if they didn't want to be usually. Keara had already checked over any and all that were in the database back at the precinct.

It was a good idea to send students home with escorts, but she was a little worried at spreading their help so thin. There was little choice though as she looked around the crowd in hopes of catching any sort of reaction to the insults that Aden was spouting, but there was nothing.

"Victim's name was Adrea Wilson, age 19. She's a sophomore here. Last seen leaving the dining hall at 7:45. After that, there's a 20 min time span before her body was found, no one saw her coming or going with anyone. No one seemed to dislike her either according to her roommate." Keara had gotten all the information she could, but it hadn't been much. It was the poor roommate that had found her, getting worried when the poor girl hadn't come back.

"Bullshit, everyone hates a sophomore," Aden offered and looked down at the victim. Crossing his arms over his chest, he took another drink then looked back towards her, "But maybe. Whatever, obviously whoever is doing this is doing it indiscriminately. He doesn't care who or what he kills, just getting a fix. Probably really just feeding, it's a vampire. They think they're so smug, but really they're just vermin, like rats, hiding in the shadows waiting to pounce later." He rolled his eyes.

He tossed his cup into a trash and looked down at his watch. The recruit hadn't left too long ago, but it was taking him a bit. He'd give him a few more minutes before calling to check on him. "Notify next of kin, let them know what happened. We'll give them about a day before questioning them... " Not that it was really going to matter. It was a random killing, he was certain of it.

He did begin to put a map together in his head though, "How many have been on campus now?" He then looked at the crowd still around and rolled his eyes, "Go home! If you spend any more time around here I'll arrest you all for disrupting a crime scene! Go away..." Then something clicked in his mind. That aura, that feeling, it had weakened and vanished. Then he felt the sensation of fear and then silence in the distance, he looked up and then back to Keara, before pointing to the lieutenant, "Call the recruit. Now..." When there was no response, Aden pulled his gun out and began to move for the alley way quickly. He pointed to the other officers, "We're dealing with a supernatural, remember the training I gave you. No one leaves alone."

And he began running until he spotted the recruit on the ground, and then shouted a growl, "Damn it!" He moved towards him to check the wounds. This one was different, this was an attack, not just a feeding. "Keara, go tell the lieutenant to set up a perimeter around the campus. Call the president of the University, tell them to get their asses down here."

The faintly glowing ember of the cigarette moved as a little smile tugged at the corner of Drifter's lips when the blue haired female mentioned how awesome her ass looked. Even from his safe distance away the vampire's keen sight told him that she wasn't wrong. The rest of their exchange held no real interest for him, yet when the male detective froze mid shouting Jeremiah's curiosity paid off. The sudden panic, that look of fear for the now dead officer, all of it was quite entertaining.

He honestly considered following behind to see the scene play out in the alley, yet another golden opportunity had presented it self in that frenzy. The wave of fear washed over the coeds still lingering around as they watched all the cops chase after the detective with their weapons drawn. But as all eyes, and all the police raced to follow the man Drifter found himself smirking at the fact that the body of the dead girl had been left alone.

Oh there was a crowd still about however with the focus now moving towards the alley it was such a simple thing to slip around while remaining unseen. Another burst of impossible speed later and the corpse of Adrea Wilson had vanished. Vampiric strength made it a breeze to slip away again with the dead girl, and a few minutes later saw Drifter well clear of the campus property. "Sorry darling, but looks like ya can still be of use to me after all."

The sewer grate offered the perfect place to go and once below the streets Jeremiah set the body down and pulled out his knife again. With the blade in hand he worked quickly in dismembering the corpse; severing limbs at the joints and rending them clean off from the torso with a touch more power. When all the piece had been removed he scattered them into the murky water, grinning as any hope of retrieving further evidence was all but bashed. Work finished he slipped topside again, and after pocketing the blade Miah strolled back towards the campus while shrouded by the dark of night.

Keara fought the urge to roll her eyes at her partner's little comments but kept quiet. She'd let him take charge for the time being. He was the one with more of a lead than she had.

"Next of kin is already being notified. I handled that before you got here." She'd sent another car down to the girl's home. It was fortunate they lived in the same city, but it was not something that anyone wanted to do in the first place. They'd have to go visit the family later to see if they could give any leads, but that would have to wait for another day.

"This is the third one found on campus, the fifth student though." Keara wondered if the vampire just preferred students, or if they blended best on the campus. She had been lost on that train of thought when Aden called for people to follow. Keara went without thinking much, but it was two blocks away when she realized that everyone had left with them, even the beat cops that were there to protect the scene.

Letting out a loud swear, she turned back without a second thought to get back to the scene only to find the corpse missing. "Fuck!" She hissed out before pulling out her cell and calling up Aden. "We're fucked here!"
