Writing Prompt #10--Trash Day

You’re a hacker, married to an ace vampire hunter. He’s good with weapons and tactics. You cover his tracks and help him find targets. Tonight, he brings home a big-time trophy—the heart of Curtis Delivus. Delivus, the oldest American vampire lord, has spawned countless vamps throughout his four centuries of life. Your guy lopped off his head and staked his heart, which is still beating and kind of indestructible. For someone like Delivus, the heart won’t stop beating 72 hours. That means he could be healed—with some surgery and a lot of fresh blood. You lock the heart away in your HQ vault, while looking for a ritual means of ending him sooner.

The next night, while on the hunt, your guy gets ambushed and ripped to shreds by a bunch of pissed-off vampire lords. Through your late hubby’s body cameras, you watch with horror as they bicker about what to do next. Apparently, there’s more to Delivus than meets the eye. If they don’t restore Delivus by the third night, he’s dead for good . . . along with every vampire he ever sired. Then they get a bit of good news. Their hackers have found your HQ. Oh. Shit. The whole fanged world’s about end up on your doorstep as you grab the heart (stake and all) and hit the road. Hiding the heart’s a good idea. But if they bite you, you’ll turn and then lead them right to it. That’s why you need to stash the heart, somewhere where they can’t it. Then, for the good of countless lives, you must blow your brains out. As you’re driving along, you pass a garbage truck. It’s trash day on this particular block. Hmm.

What happens next?
