He was hanging upside down?
Yes.
And he never got a good look at his killer?
No. I think he had been rendered unconscious. I only got a sensation of him returning to consciousness.
And when he did, he was hanging upside down?
Yes.

Killed?
Yes.
I rubbed my head as the images, now forever imprinted into my brain, appeared in my thoughts again. I wrote: He didn't get a good look. He was swinging wildly upside down, trying to break free.
His hands were tied?
I think so, yes.
And he saw only one man?
Maybe two. Hard to know. That's when he started screaming.
And that's when the knife appeared, wrote Fang.
Yes, I wrote, feeling drained, despite this being the middle of the night.
And they cut his throat, wrote Fang.
Yes.
This doesn't sound like a vampire.
No, I wrote.
It sounds like a sick son of a bitch.
I waited before replying. Finally, I wrote: There's more, Fang. I saw...other bodies. At least two more. Both hanging upside down.
Jesus, Sam.
They were suspended over a tub of some sort.
A tub?
Yes.
They were collecting the blood, Fang wrote.
That's what I think, too.
But why?
I thought about it for only a moment before I wrote: If I had to guess, I would say that he supplies blood for vampires.
