31 - Carin City [3]
Professor Kenivale and the awakener squad leader stood directly opposite each other, somewhere between seven to nine metres of distance separating them.
To an observer, it looked like an imminent face-off.
Their faces were blank and their gazes mean, as if they couldn't be talked out of it.
On one hand, the squad leader simply wanted to uncover the vampire's truest intention for which he had come into his city.
Professor Kenivale, on the other hand and for reasons best known to him, was sceptical about giving out that information.
This made the squad leader uneasy.
Everything about him — facial expressions, tone, voice etc — was incredulous.
Carin City and its environs were under his jurisdiction as an awakener and for the vampire to want to act as he pleased…
…That simply did not sit well with him.
