She laughed again, with less careful tactical hush than Daniel was using, and scampered off like an animal.

A pincer attack, then. He'd move in from one side, while she came by another. Pausing only to quietly pull an entire glass panel off a window and wiggle through, all without breaking anything, Daniel made his way into the house and up the stairs--bedrooms were always upstairs, and this house proved to have no different a layout than any other.
With his hearing, he could make out the sounds of the sleepers. Hmm. Six people. The child she mentioned, certainly, and five adults. Two parents, but who were the other three?
Let's see.

Two down, a toddler in its nanny's arms (babies were really only an it, anyway, couldn't do anything but eat and make a mess) and the nanny herself. The baby tasted sweeter, and she had to save it for last, before the nurse could wake anyone up. Most of the blood got on the blankets, or onto the floor, but after a long time on the road it went down like a glass of warm milk. She just lay there for a while, snuffling face-first in the mess and staring into the lacy hangings on the bed. How was it possible to make a little kid's bedroom look so expensive?

Two, he discovered, were visiting relatives. Relatives who be visiting forever. He was vaguely aware of Jenks in the other room, in that way in which he was always aware of those around him but not focused on them. After dealing with the two (an aunt? uncle? It didn't really matter) Daniel sat propped up against the wall for a moment, letting the euphoria just wash over him.

She finally dragged herself up off the carpet, wiping her mouth off lazily on her hand and feeling her fangs press into the skin of the back of it. What a rush, really. Baby Jenks couldn't stand upright without staggering a little, but she'd manage.
"Daniel?" she whispered suddenly, urgently, as if he'd hear, and then raised her voice to a hoarse shout. "Hey, Daniel--"

He appeared in the doorway in moments, looking slightly amused at the shouting.
"I wasn't far off...what's up?"

"Do people know about us around here? I mean, Dead people--"
It did look mightily suspicious.

"All vamps are aware of each other, and some of the humans know, too. I still try to hide them because I don't want trouble to come annoy me."

She got a horrible, awful, wonderful idea.
"Where's the mom's room?"

He quirked an eyebrow at her.
"Down the hall. What do you have in mind?"

"You said they were rich. I want a big fur coat. White. Every little old rich lady has a white fur coat."

He chuckled.
"Oh, yes indeed. Take what you will--I always do." He said, waving in the direction of the mother's room.

If her hands had been less slippery she'd have cartwheeled down the hall, that's how elated she was at the prospect. Oh, it wasn't wearing a fur coat (behind the wheel of her big pink Cadillac) or even the joy of ruining one -- just having one.

Daniel, meanwhile, was mentally tallying up the various bits of silver finery and other such things that could be gathered together and sold off, once they were done. He was only half-paying attention to Jenks as he followed her.

When Jenks returned it was indeed with a fur coat -- a silvery off-white, sure, but she didn't care -- and the bloody contents of several jewelry boxes poured into a beaded purse. Those were to pawn, they wouldn't fit on any fingers except her thumbs. There were also several dresses thrown over her arm, and a forelorn pair of shoes dangling from two fingers.
She said nothing, but grinned.
