88 An unexpected turn

Music Recommendation: Mr. Elton arrives at Hartfield- Isobel Waller

Mr. Humphrey was quick to pick on the vampire's words, realising this was Vincent Moriarty. He quickly bowed his head and apologised, "P-pardon me for my ignorance, Mr. Moriarty. I have heard many great things about you."

"Great or bad?" Questioned Vincent, his dark red eyes cooly looking down at the human. "I don't remember seeing you before. We don't take too kindly to trespassers here, unless Ms. Barlow brought you here along with her," he hummed before adding. "Trespassers turn into excellent contributors as fresh drinks."

Mr. Humphrey gulped down the bubbling nervousness rising in his throat. He hadn't expected to run straight into a family member of Moriarty. He nervously smiled and lied, "I came with Ms. Barlow."
