Joe Vampire

POST 40



No Sign



Hey everyone – Hube again… still nothing from Joe on this end. He still won’t answer his phone. I think I’ve filled his voicemail by now. I checked with the other people on his shift at work and he hasn’t been in all week, or called in his absences. I went by his house again today and found someone named Bo doing woodwork in his front yard. My first thought was that he had something to do with this. Turns out he’s a friend and has been waiting for Joe to show up, too… hasn’t heard from him since last week sometime. I’ve checked the emergency rooms, police stations, etc. but there’s no trace of him. Wherever he’s gone, he’s covered his tracks in a major way. I haven’t asked his family yet… no use in worrying them if he’s just gone underground to figure out the vampire situation a little more. And I’m not too comfortable with the idea of filing a missing persons report, in case it turns out there’s something darker going on. I’d rather get to him first, if possible. I can’t shake the feeling that the vampire thing has become too much for him to handle. If that’s true, then the longer he’s out there the worse it’s going to get. So, again, if anyone reading this knows where he is, hit me at 621-555-3231. Bo has offered to help search, so we’re going to check second-level places like shelters and parks. Please, if you hear from him, let him know he needs to call me ASAP. Thanks again.
