The Wolf In Me

Chapter 8 - Smash and Grab

"We got to do something." Lauren said with a determined look on her face.

Camila gave Lauren a surprised look. "You don't exactly seem the hero type."

Lauren smirked. "I'm the antihero type, but I won't watch some girl being taken to her death. " Lauren said, as she extracted the holy water and scissors from her glove box.

"We can't take him on; we don't even have a wooden stake." Camila said somewhat nervous.

"Cabello look, think of this as a crime. We're not robbing Fort Knox, this is a smash and grab. We run in and hit the vamp hard. Then while he's down, we grab the girl and take off."

Camila smiled and took Lauren's hand. "Let do it."

"I need something from the trunk quick" Lauren said as she hopped out. She returned a few seconds later with a crowbar. Then Camila started the car and discreetly followed the vampire. He had the girl by the arm and was leading her away from the other cops. A moment later he led her into an alley.

They quickly discussed their plan of attack, as they parked just outside the alley. Then, both of their hearts pounding got out of their car.

"You shouldn't need to go wolf, but if things go south go for it." Lauren said, as they walked into the alley.

As they got into the alley they saw the cop and the girl about 25 yards ahead of them.

"Let's hit it" Lauren said as they started to run.

Lauren and Camila quickly sprinted up to the vampire and his intended victim. He was leading her to a squad car parked at the end of the alley.

Luck was with them, as they managed to get up to the pair before either one of them knew they were there. Lauren came up behind the vampire, and with all her might smashed him in the back of the head with a crow bar.

Had it been a normal person, her blow probably would have caved in the back of his skull. Instead it knocked him off balance and briefly stunned him. Camila then ran around him and splashed some holy water right in his eyes.

He immediately let out an unearthly howl and staggered back, unable to see. Lauren then took her crow bar and swiped at the back of his knees, knocking him in his back. A second little bottle of holy water was splashed in his face again. He howled in agony, putting his hands to his face.

Lauren then dropped the crow bar and move to the vampire. Lauren at this point went right for his belt. There she grabbed his pistol, searched is pockets and quickly stuffed everything in her jacket pocket. The girl at this point was standing there, with a rather terrified expression on her face.

Camila took her hand. "He's not a real cop, come with me if you want to live." Before she could even react she yanked the frightened girl back up the alley.

Lauren smirked and saw the prone vampire who was still screaming in pain. She grabbed its groin and squeezed its balls real hard. "You're my bitch now." Lauren said with a mocking and cruel laugh.

It snarled briefly as she released it. A second later as it started to get back up, Lauren struck again.

"Team Jacob forever, asshole" She said as she kicked it in the face. Lauren wasn't a twilight fan at all but since she was part werewolf and was dating one, it was a clever thing to say.

"COME ON!" Camila yelled from up the alley.

On an impulse Lauren quickly ripped the badge off his uniform and shoved it in her pocket. Remembering the pistol, she pulled it out and shot the vampire in the foot. Lauren didn't wait to see if it bothered the vampire or not, as she grabbed her crowbar and ran back up the alley.

Camila had already gotten the girl in the car and started it up.

"I'LL GET YOU BITCH" Lauren heard the furious, but still blind creature yell out behind her.

"IN YOUR DREAMS, FUCKER!" Lauren yelled, as she jumped in the waiting car. A few seconds later, they were driving 70 miles an hour down the street.

Lauren was pumped with adrenaline and excitement. "Holy shit, we did it" She said with an excited laugh.

"Dam right Laur we did" Camila said as she turned a corner.

"Who are you?" Said the terrified young blonde girl in the back seat.

Lauren looked at the girl with a smirk. "She's the good cop and I'm the bad cop. But in any case you're safe. What's your name blondie?

The blonde girl looked half frightened out of her wits. "My...My...My name is Julie."

Camila glanced in her rear view mirror to see if there were any signs of pursuit, which there wasn't. "Well Julie, today is your lucky day. That wasn't a real cop and if you had gone with him, you never would have been seen again."

Julie just gasped.

"Where do you live Blondie? We'll drop you off" Lauren said as she shoved the gun and badge in the glove box.

"I live at the Omega Chi house; it's on 216 Frame Street."

"You're safe now and we'll have you home in a jiff. Just do us a favor and pretend all of this never happened." Camila said.

"Ok" She said timidly.

"So what all happened anyway?" Lauren said.

"Well I was at this big house party with some friends, but the cops bust it. As I'm trying to get out, a cop grabs me by the arm and says I'm under arrest. He leads me out with all the others getting arrested but then takes me away from the other cops. None of the other cops really seemed to pay any attention to him. He said his squad was parked down the alley. He was kind of creepy, his eyes were just strange, almost hyponotic."

A few minutes later, they were pulling in front of the Omega Chi house. Lauren then looked at Julie. "Well Julie, You're home. Just do yourself a favor and pretend this never happened. You'll be much better off that way. "

Julie nodded and got out of the car. "Thank you. I can't ever repay you."

Camila smiled. "Don't worry, were the good guys."

Lauren laughed. "Speak for yourself Cabello."

They watched Julie walk up the lawn and safely get into her sorority house, before driving off.

As they drove, Camila slipped her fingers into Lauren's hand. "I think we make a good team."

"Damn right Cabello. Let's go shopping." Lauren said, as she pulled out a wallet out of her jacket pocket.

Camila looked at Lauren with astonishment. "LAUREN! You stole his wallet? The plan was to rescue the girl, not mug the vampire."

Lauren examined the contents of the wallet. "How about if I say your cut is $275?"

Camila immediately smiled. "Oooh. I can buy that new leather skirt I've been wanting, and get that cute purple top."

Lauren smirked and put her hand on Camila's leg, slowly moving it towards her crotch. "We shop for a bit and then do some serious bonding."

A grin was Camila's only reply.
