Chapter 24: Trapped

Jonathan’s eyes opened in the morning, but it felt like it took him another five minutes to actually regain consciousness. He felt sore all over, and still tired.

He hadn’t dreamt. He felt almost as if he had simply blinked, and the night had passed.

The events of the previous night and day still stuck in Jonathan’s mind. He couldn’t read what had happened with Dr. Page. It was so strange. It felt like Page had wanted something from him, had wanted him to do something. But it wasn’t about the thesis.

It couldn’t have been…

Jonathan put the thought out of his mind. No. Best to just move on as if nothing had happened, because nothing had happened.

And Alphonse… Was he telling the truth? Were the disappearances really just unrelated? Sure, not every crime committed was because of a vampire, but it was too much of a coincidence. Jonathan could only half remember what he had said about his company. Something about luring rich people in. But it couldn’t be that easy, could it?
