Until Death Do Us Part: A Kismet Knight Mini-Story (3 page)

Falcon scrambled to his feet, grabbed a small statue of Freud off a nearby table, and heaved it at Yvonne’s head. The marble connected with a sickening whack, opening a bloody gash in her forehead.

Yvonne let out a shriek as blood dripped down her forehead, then charged Falcon, screaming, “I’ll kill you, you miserable excuse for a man.”

Not to be outdone, Falcon countered, his voice booming through the room, “My mother wasn’t the only cow, you sexless, frigid she-fiend.”

As they ran around my office, throwing everything they could pick up at each other, I crawled toward my desk, hoping the heavy wood would protect me from the onslaught.

My favorite paperweight flew by my head just as I reached the corner of my desk, and I huddled next to the thick wood, still able to see the maniacs, but safer from attack.

“You disgusting fool. I lied. You’re a
terrible
lover!”

“Yeah, as if I’d want to get within ten feet of the Ice Queen.”

She growled and tackled Falcon again, taking him back down to the floor. I heard a pounding sound, and high-pitched male screams.

This cleaning bill’s gonna be a bitch.

Suddenly a loud, resonating tone pulsed from the timer on top of my desk. The waiting room door burst open, and Falcon’s two bodyguards shot into the office. They each grabbed a disheveled, bloody vampire and heaved them to their feet.

My heart thudding like an animal caught in gun sights, I scooted out from my safe haven, made sure the carnage had truly ended – that the two lunatics were safe in physical custody – and slowly rose. The room was trashed. Blood oozed down the walls, pooled on the carpet and collected on my leather furniture.

We all stared at each other, frozen for a few heartbeats, then I reached over and picked up the appointment book from my desk. I flipped the pages, retrieved a pencil and held it poised over the page.

“Same time next week?”
