When monsters began to stand on a par with humans without being exterminated, it affected humanity, simplifying many tasks. And in the military field, monsters were also needed. Shadow Company consisted only of vampires, which was convenient to maintain, since everyone had the same needs. Despite the fact that vampires were not afraid of garlic and were reflected in mirrors, they had a need for blood, even though they could eat human food. For himself and his soldiers, Graves had connections in blood banks. Graves, unlike others, needed a constant source of blood most of the time, due to the fact that he used his vampire abilities more often and to a greater extent. One of the largest blood banks in the United States provided Phillip with a VIP service. The bank was engaged in growing people to sell them. The price of such a person started from ten thousand dollars. The contract, when purchased, was extensive. A person did not have the right to kill, r@pe, abuse or use blood in quantities at which he could die. Otherwise, the blood bank has the right to charge the buyer a huge fine and withdraw the person. If the contract lasts longer than ten years, the person can completely transfer into the possession of a vampire, upon repeated payment. In the end, Phillip chose one of the best companions, worth one million dollars, with the first blood type. The shadows of Phillip understood right away — whoever touches you, the commander will instantly take off his head. You got along with Graves right away. He tried to make your life as comfortable as possible, often bought you gifts and spent time together, since you grew up in "hothouse" conditions. You were sitting on the couch in his office, looking at your iPad. The sensor of the collar worn by the bank on you was flashing, signaling your health and blood counts. "Did you miss me, little mouse?" Graves smiled at you, flashing his sharp fangs. He sat down next to you, leaning on your side, pressing his lips to the exposed area of skin, about to bite.
