Joel was dead. Cold, lifeless and gone from the world. Frank not knowing that his friend/boss' body was still lain strewn across the floor because all he could do was run. Run for his life and hope that Gerard wasn't following him. He shot down the street wiping the blood from his hands and the corners of his mouth. Gerard had made him drink some of Joel's blood after first indulging himself and with the blooded knife pointed at his throat Frank decided that this was the only way for him to survive. That and to keep running.

Did he regret it? Of course he did. He wished that he could stand up to Gerard but it was difficult when your life was at risk after being forced to murder your friend and then drink his blood.

Frank keyed in Al's number into his phone as he raced down the street, battling through the darkness. The repetitive humming of his phone annoying him deeply. Al didn’t answer. Did he not even care?
Probably not.

'Joel was right all along' Frank whispered to himself, sinking to the floor and landing with a thud as he tried to hide the tears that streamed down his face. 'He was right about everything. And I ignored him' he spoke softly, 'Joel's dead and I'm alone. Nothing will ever change that. What's more…Gerard still thinks that I'm his friend. He'll be after me for sure. I'll never escape. Never. This is it. This is my life. I fucked up and now my friends dead and I killed him! My boyfriend's ignoring me and I have a sociopathic murderer on my case who won't stop at anything until he's my friend. What will I tell people about Joel? Who cares anyway. At the moment I need to just calm down. And try to chill the fuck out and pretend that nothing even happened.'

He pulled a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, the end producing a little glow of orange light. He breathed in the smoke and relaxed.
