[ WP ] We have eradicated mosquitos , just in time for summer . Turns out , they 've been protecting us from something .

Crack. Crack. 
 
 Another one down. 
 
 Gosh that was harder than I expected it to be. I think the last time I did that was seventy years ago. The moon's rather bright today. Bright? Is that the word to use? Sunlight uses the word bright, but... Ah, whatever. So, let's see... 
 
 The list says that I need ten more vials... Should be rather easy. I have n't seen any of them out tonight. Strange, but it makes my work easier. Tomorrow's summer, so I need to get this batch done for my team. There's only three of us but it's better to be safe than sorry. We're on hunting duty tomorrow night, so... Ten... I think twelve would be better. The others never told me not to get MORE than what's needed, anyway. 
 
 I do n't smell them in the air. Intriguing. Should be an easy catch, then. There's one target down the street, walking alone in the cover of dark. A whiff is all I need to know that he's safe. Alright, on with the chase; hey, that rhymes! One quick stab with my blade is all it takes to incapacitate him. I dragged him off the street and into an alley, draining his life away. I cap the three vials I got off the man, and shove him on his way. 
 
 We can only kill on the hunt. Remember to keep them alive when we extract them. 
 
 I take another whiff of the air. Nothing yet. Strange how this guy has n't gotten bitten in the last few weeks. Mosquitoes really are a pain when you need to drink pure human blood.
