Found something. Will explain later. :X
Min-ji faked a smile and continued to ask pointless questions to the human in front of her. “So, you got along with Kristof?”
None of this mattered as this woman didn’t smell like either of the things Octavius had texted them about. Really, she was trying to speed through, so they could extract themselves from the conversation.
Jessica nodded, tears in her eyes. “Yes. I-I can’t believe he’s gone!” she cried.
Min-ji just barely hid her amusement as Scarlett awkwardly reached out and patted the woman’s shoulder. “There, there.”
She had to cover up a laugh with a cough when the human suddenly threw herself at Scarlett and began to sob on her shoulder.
The zombie stared wide eyed at Min-ji, looking so uncomfortable. She mouthed, ‘What do I do?’ before robotically patting the woman’s back.
Min-ji shrugged, lips quivering as she tried to hold back her laughter. She didn’t think Scarlett would appreciate it. Her girlfriend gave her a pointed look, telling her that she hadn’t done a good job at hiding her humor.

Cormac had almost sighedin relief at the two humans not flirting with him. He had never been hit on so much in one single night. At least, not outside a club.
He could normally ignore them doing it to him. But these people wanted a two for one deal. Apparently, in their minds, both him and Henry were on the menu.
Based on the initial list they had gotten, and the fact that he knew there had been at least three other lists… not to mention the overwhelming sexual details that some of them had freely spewed out, not a single one of these people needed more partners in bed. Cormac had some friends who were in a polyamorous relationship, but…nothing like this.
This was something else… an orgy. Yep, that described this. And as much as an orgy sounded fun…he’d rather just be with one person. Just one specific person as of late.
He eyed Henry. Goddess, did he look hot in his pirate outfit… His lips had been firm yet soft. And in his arms, the vampire had practically melted. Yep, he knew what he was going to be dreaming about tonight.
He zoned out a bit as he let himself get lost in a fantasy. It's not like he was needed here. Henry could handle it. These two humans were not the one they were looking for anyway. The smell wasn’t right, so who cared if he was paying attention or not?
And really, how could Cormac remain focused when the fantasy could so easily be conjured up? Him a mermaid, Henry a pirate. Of course, he’d never let the vampire fight alone. Fin or not, he’d jump out of the ocean and do something. Though, mermaids could transform their lower halves into legs, so… Yeah, Henry would definitely not die, and that kiss would have not ended in a depressing cloud of bloody water...
“Cormac!” Henry snapped.
He blinked, and then peered at the vampire in question. “Yes?”
“We are done here. If you are finished zoning out, let’s go.”
Cormac blinked again. Looking around, he realized the humans were gone. Oh, that was bad…Octavius bad. He shook his head. “Right! Where to?”
“To the next two, they are only a few rooms over.”
“Okay! Let’s go.” He waved him on, as he still didn’t know his way around this giant ass house.
Henry shook his head on a sigh and started forward.
Ohh, he’d get to watch the vampire’s ass this way! It was a win!

Alexander’s mask was cracking,he felt it chip more and more with each new encounter. What was with these people and not respecting personal boundaries? Frayed smile still in place, he pushed the human’s hand off his chest.
“Please, keep your hands to yourself. This is an official investigation. Though, I’m not sure why I should have to remind you when I’m in the middle of asking you about a murder victim.”
The man’s lips pursed into a pout. “I was just trying to lighten the mood!”
He flashed his teeth. “Stop trying,” he said without hesitation and remorse.
This was such a waste of time. This man did not even smell citrusy, let alone like ozone. Why was Octavius trying to keep what he knew secret? Why bother to hide information? It would have been faster if they had just asked one of the performers which one of them had such a scent. What was that vampire planning?
