Brosnev spoke again with Laupki, who reacted more strongly to the questions. But
as Laupki responded, Brosnev appeared to not understand what the man was saying
and the frustration on Laupki's face was evident as the lines in his skin pulled tighter.
Brosnev released the hold on him, but Estefan tensed as if there might be another
outburst.
"He says,тАЭ Brosnev said, his voice sounding unsure, тАЬhe says it was not Serbs or
Albanians that did the killing.тАЭ Brosnev turned back to Laupki and spoke slowly as if
clarifying each and every word that he had told him. тАЬHe says,тАЭ Brosnev continued,
тАЬthere are ... creatures that came from the ruins of an old church near his village last
night. They came from the ruins and killed two people from his village."
"He can't be using the right word. Hostiles, renegade Serbs, looters ... who?тАЭ Block
asked impatiently.
Brosnev asked Laupki the same questions again. тАЬNo, sir,тАЭ Brosnev said. тАЬNone of

"What then?"
"He insists they were creatures. Like vampires. They sucked the blood out of the

spoke again.
"He says he can show us where they are,тАЭ Brosnev said, his face losing its color as
if he had just received some form of shock.
"The vampires?тАЭ Block said mockingly.
"Both. The bodies of the victims and where the vampires live...тАЭ Brosnev said,
ending his statement as if there was more to say.
"What?тАЭ Block asked, seeing Brosnev's hesitancy, тАЬWhat else did he say?"
"The dead girls ... they are his two daughters."
Block looked at Brosnev and then glanced at Laupki and shook his head.

The vehicle bounced over the rutted road as Captain Block, Sergeant Estefan,
Corporal Brosnev and Idriz Laupki headed for an area located outside of the city of
Kacianik. The village, considered part of Kacianik, was less then fifty miles from
Camp Bondsteel.
Block, seated up front with Estefan, was quiet after receiving a painful dissertation
from the base commander of what should and should not go into the desk log
report. Colonel Antol, the Camp Bondsteel commander, had tried to instill upon him
that he should remember in the future to be more careful, and as a reminder, he
could think about it during his trip in the cold and over the terrible roads to
investigate the civilian's claim.
The report from the night before had generated some interest from somewhere up
the chain of command. Secure computerized versions were immediately available for
review by appropriate levels within the military organization. Block had simply
categorized the report as unsubstantiated and refused to investigate the incident
based upon the civilian's wild accusations of blood-sucking creatures. Now, less
