The Emotional Vampires

The lesson is what you do while the hunger is rising.

Above a Fulton Street laundry, Gwen begins teaching Jack the discipline she named — that his hunger can be trained, not merely survived — while Webb keeps a watch he will not explain. Across the city, the Council's Hound finds the device's trail moved, and colder, and follows it west. Two trails are bending toward the same few streets, and of the three people in the room above the steam, only one knows what is standing at the foot of them.

The Emotional Vampires is a psychological thriller spanning centuries, exploring a hidden world where emotional energy is currency, weapon, and sustenance. Some feed on love. Others cultivate despair. A fragile balance has shaped wars, movements, revolutions, and private tragedies alike. As alliances shift and hunger deepens, one question remains:

Who controls the harvest?

The net doesn't look like anything. A locked door. Papered windows.

High in the Swiss Alps, behind more security than any bank on earth, nine old predators sit down to dinner — and argue about the one who didn't come home.Ian Blackwell has missed three reports. Eleven weeks of silence. Evelyn Moreau wants a leash; Lord Alexander Blackwood wants patience; Lucien, who has run the Dark Council since before the Second World War, wants answers.

Webb's handlers call with new orders. On the road north, an old saying stops Webb cold — and a page in the wrong handwriting raises a question neither Jack nor Gwen wants answered. In San Francisco, above a print shop, a machine hums in the dark — and a man watches two blue outlines burn. Chapter 32 of The Emotional Vampires.

In the aftermath of Brick's memorial, Jack, Gwen, and Webb circle the question no one wants to ask: what really killed Martin Kessler? The answer is a device built from stolen Swiss notes — a machine that drains emotional energy, built by hands that shouldn't have been able to build it. Webb already knows more than he's saying. And just as the truth starts to surface... his phone rings.

A memorial. A doctor's notebook. A question he can no longer avoid.

After saying goodbye to Brick, Jack confronts Webb about Lee—and the difference between helping someone and trying to change who they are. Memories of an uneasy friendship expose an old fracture, while Gwen demands an answer of her own. Before they can face Ian, they must decide whether they can trust the man holding the evidence.

A photograph. An unfinished letter. A kindness Brick can no longer bear to accept.

As memories of Lee return, Brick begins to question the comfort he once found beside him. Afraid of what another step might cost someone else, he retreats into a silence that will reach Jack in an unexpected way.

A roadside telephone. A name Jack has reason to distrust. And a doctor who knows more about Lee than Jack expected.

As Gwen connects them with Dr. Webb, memories of an earlier encounter begin to fit an unsettling pattern. But recognizing a method is not the same as knowing who controls it—and every answer carries a cost.

The nightclub is behind them. What happened inside is not. As Jack drives through the dark streets of San Francisco, Gwen tries to make sense of a room filled with dark ones — feeding together, growing stronger, and waiting for something neither of them can name.

Jack wants answers. Gwen has survived centuries by avoiding other people’s wars. But the distance between them is shrinking, and neutrality may no longer be enough to keep her alive.

An uneasy alliance. A warning to choose a side. And the name of a doctor who may understand what is coming.

In a crowded San Francisco nightclub, Gwen does what she has done for centuries — she skims excess emotion, takes only what is wasted, and disappears before anyone notices. But tonight the room feels wrong. The energy isn’t loose or indulgent. It’s compressed. Cultivated. Predatory. And for the first time in two hundred years, Gwen realizes she is not the only one feeding.

When a stranger calling himself Jack tells her they need to leave immediately, she understands two things at once: he knows what she is… and something far more dangerous has entered the city.

They escape through the kitchen. But what they leave behind is not chaos — it’s coordination.
