Chapter 97 Coulter's Suspicions
Coulter had no clue what Kayden had to do with the intruders but one thing was certain to him that Kayden was involved in some way. Thus he left the house to drive towards Kayden's place to figure out his few doubts.
Coulter's sole focus was on Kayden because something was mysterious about him. After all the incidents were pointed out towards him, Coulter could not push back the new information provided to him.
While driving steadily towards Kayden's place Coulter constantly tried to keep the available clues separate. But it was becoming impossible to do after getting the news of Jack's murder. Witnesses could only tell him about the quarrel the kids had in the park which resulted in a mild fight. Due to Medusa and Malcolm's mingling abilities nobody could testify they were intruders.
A few miles away from Kayden's residence, a vehicle stood there successfully while blending with the surroundings.
'It seems the boy hadn't come back yet. He should be walking home for now.'
Kayden was already supposed to be at home by now after getting the degree. Because the academy was already closed and students were supposed to reach home by that time.
Coulter thought to himself, assuming that Kayden would mistake his presence as some local gangster. No doubt the vampire realm had high squads to regulate the rules and laws. And for that reason Coulter had to keep himself disguised but perhaps his attempt was weird.
Because there were many such people who were ruling peace, especially the rogues created by the experimentation still existed to make a mess occasionally. The authorities did not want to eradicate them, since they could be controlled to participate in a war if necessary.
Coulter cast a serene yet keen look outside the window of the vehicle. He was a man of morals and principles, which contrasted with his job. The man intended to refrain from pointless mass killing, but his hands were tied by the authorities.
The law enforcers had no individual choice or suggestion, everything in the vampire realm was being controlled by the 'pentagon.' The higher authority cabinet consisted of five vampires who were considered supreme beings.
Coulter had never felt helpless in his career regarding the investigation but this was the first time that a case was annoying him. After all Kayden's history of being an incapable vampire and Medusa's deliberately spread confusing made everything fucked up.
'But the question still remains, who is he? And how did he manage to contact out of the realm?'
It was the main query which put Coulter in a difficult situation. He did not want to get involved in the unnecessary mess. Although it was confirmed to him that the presence of some outsiders was certain.
On one side and unsettling itch continuously poked him, Coulter had already figured out Kayden's importance. However the certain thought accompanied the possibility of utter danger. If he was just a mere incapable vampire then the outsiders would not have been in contact with him.
'Where is he now? I should wait for him and keep an eye on that kid for a while to inquire about any abnormalities.'
Coulter did not inform the whole situation to the headquarters, instead kept the important pieces to himself.
He placed the alarm to notify him about Kayden's arrival, the cameras in front of the house displayed their faces. But something kept Coulter from disclosing the particular information. That's why he had already dismissed his men for the day to inquire things all by himself.
'If he is able to negotiate and contact the outer realm, then he sure has some peculiar powers. No one has ever been able to establish a connection without verbal discussion.'
As the vampires had progressed during all the years, they had gradually lost numerous traits. Coulter was not a selfish person, but the obvious possibility of possessing the power developed a knot in his heart.
'This is one heck of an interesting case. I want to see what other powers he has, well of course he has any. And why is he approached by those two outsiders?'
Coulter lifted his arm and pressed a certain spot on his wrist. A blue digital screen popped up and displayed the footage of that night in the academy. However Coulter could not get anything more than that, but one thing was certain; vampires could control water elements but forging a creature was impossible.
'There should be something peculiar about him, he can't simply get in touch with other races for a few laughs. What did he exchange, or what did they want from him?'
He was unable to comprehend anything and stared at the digital screen, which did not show Mr Jones or Malcolm leaving the house.
Coulter assumed that he would do something to investigate the scenario. The situation grew even more grim and serious, because Kayden had practically violated the law by contacting the outsiders. And it raised his curiosity regarding the situation which he was unaware of.
What would happen if he came to know about the blood servants, or Kayden's peculiar blood group? He was a living lethal power source to ancient magic! Because apart from the RH-Null blood group no other bloods were able to use 'blood magic' to a greater extent and properly.
Hence Coulter wanted to figure out first why the heck Kayden was being protected [as per the academy incident of the water dragon] by mysterious powers? And why he was in contact with other races, because normally light and dark creatures never got along.
"It has been a long time since the off time. I should go and check on his father and inquire if he knows anything worth trouble."
Coulter mumbled to himself and exited the vehicle, the cop settled his attire and began to walk those two miles distance.
Driving the vehicle towards the destination was equivalent to risking the exposure of his advancements. Coulter did not want the higher ups to get involved, hence he had been deliberately delaying the results.
