Amanda ripped the bluetooth headset from her ear and threw it on the passenger seat of her BMW, but the scream was still loud enough to hear, "What do you mean they lost the payload?"

She sighed, stopping for a red light in a dusty suburb of Mesa and drummed her fingers on the wheel. She had only found out that the team that was supposed to aquire the "payload" (even she didn't know what was in it) failed. Four dead, left in the street for the police to find and only a few darkened frames on the security camera to aee what happened.

Her people got in, but someone else followed them and took out 2/3 of a team of top teir mercs in less than 15 seconds. They fled with their lives, since the panel truck they brought to haul the pallet with the payload on had been comprimised, and now she has to deal with telling the boss the update.

Her headset screamed again. She drove away reaching to pick it up when her other phone went off. She pulled it and checked the message.

"We think we have a lead! We found a video blog with two guys on it that seem to match the guys in the security tape. We're looking for the car as we speak. Give us a day."

She smiled, steadied herself and picked up the headset...
The Vampire Diaries

Knowing nothing of my sire, I am a newly born vampire and learning about my abilites on my own. Being a technophile I started this podcast blog to archive the days of experimentation armed with a HD video camera and the power of words. Driving across the United States, I fed on my first real victim, a trucker at a truck stop in Tennesee. Making my way across to Mesa, Arizona the newborn vampire is on his thirteenth day of undeath and is documenting it while I pump my gas intomy 1992 Volvo station wagon.
A large pickup truck pulls up with a bunch of rednecks who begin to harass me. If you watch the video you will see them taunting and trying to take the video camera. I realized that I was quickly getting surrounded and decided to shoot gas at the fat man. I really wanted to drop the gas hose toward the truck while still on but it managed to go the opposite way. One my attackers makes for the gas shutoff. I zip over and stand in front of it and wait for him. I am sure you will have fun analyzing the video to determine my actual speed. Another guy picks up the gas hose and starts pouring gas on my hood, while another gets inside. Flames appear as I bite one guy to death and start working on the fat man who came after me still. My car starts up then heads off in reverse at top speed across the highway and into the high desert, roof still on fire. I sprint off after my car. Since it has my bluetooth laptop that lets me record straight to disk I have to stay close. I catch up to my car as it gets stuck on a rock and yank the hick out by his shirt and drink some blood then ...
If you have to ask then watch the movie.
More podcasts to come later.
