THE DRIVE

Chapter I

What the fuck am I doing? Raine thought, on the eighth hour of this godforsaken drive. He was tired, hungry, scared beyond belief. Daniel was too but he could actually sleep as he sat in the backseat. Dan had insisted on driving multiple times but Raine needed someone to be able to stop Anthony if he woke up.

The storm had started only 30 minutes ago but it was already making driving difficult. He could barely see, and he definitely couldn’t hear anything over the harsh rain and loud thunder. This was insane.

The nearest Vampire Help and Living Facility or VHLF was in Michigan. A 10 hour drive from his home in Omaha. Sure there were others around closer to them but the one in Michigan was the closet known facility and frankly the safest.

Daniel suddenly spoke up, “Isn’t this the town?” He asked.

“What? No it can’t be,” Raine quickly responded before looking at the dash and seeing that it 5:00 not 4:00. Had it really been nine hours? He looked back up at the and saw the sign. “Urbandale” it read, such a stupid name. “Shit.”

“Take a left up here. It should be close,” Dan instructed.

“He’s still asleep, right?” Raine asked.

“Yep, he’s still good but he is movin’ a bit,” He responded.

“Kay,” Raine turned and Daniel was correct it was right there. He quickly parked in the parking lot before getting out and moving around to the passenger side of the truck. He slowly opened the car door before Dan showed next to him so he could help pull Anthony out of the car.

They successfully got him out and Daniel carried him as they walked in. They must have walked in the wrong door since there was no reception desk to be seen or a receptionist. “Hello!? We need help with a newly-turned!” Raine yelled. It was probably bad to be yelling in a building full of vampires but better that then getting bitten by the vampire Dan was carrying.

A woman swiftly appeared to assist. “Hi, welcome to the VHLF. How can I help you guys?”

“Hi, My brother was turned a little over 10 hours ago. Can you please help him?” Raine stumbled over his words.

“Yes, of course follow me,” The woman instructed. The two werewolves quickly followed. The woman led them to an examination room. “Can you put him on the bed please,” Daniel listened and gently placed him on the bed. “Now, I’m going to have to ask you both to stand outside for your safety,” Raine almost refused but quickly rethought at the look Dan gave him.

The two stood outside as the woman, who Raine was eager to find out the name of so we could all stop referring to her as the woman, check out Anthony and feed him and after he was actually conscious talked to him. Raine wasn’t awake for the talking part. He actually wasn’t awake for a lot of the process. Since he hadn’t slept in about 25 hours.

When he woke up he was laying on a couch. He almost panicked but quickly remembered that they got to the VHLF. He was slightly confused since he knew he had dreamed but he couldn’t remember for the life of him what it was about

Daniel walked in soon after he woke up. “Hey, you up?”

“Yeah, how long was I asleep for?” Raine asked in response.

“Well it's three in the afternoon so I would say about...10 hours?” Daniel said.

“Jesus, well I'm definitely well rested now. How's Anthony? Can we go see him yet?”

“He just went out with somebody to get his ID fixed. It's still super overcast so he wanted to get it over with.”

“Okay, I didn't miss anything important did I?”

“Nope, other than a tour of the place nothing really happened.”

“Okay, that's good,” Raine got up off the couch. “Since you got a tour and I didn't why don't you show me around?” Dan nodded in agreement and showed him around the place. It was big, about the size of a big hospital. Raine was 80% this had been a hospital at some point.

They even had a gym here as well as a whole extra wing it the back for living quarters that he hadn't even seen when he first walked in. The two spent about 30 minutes walking and talking and looking around before the woman, who Raine could finally read the name tag that said “Alice”, appeared.

“Hey, you're Raine right?” Alice said pointing to him.

“That's right, can I go see Anthony?” He quickly asked.

“Yes, I actually need to talk to you both,” she said. They ended up leaving right after that to go get Anthony. All three then moved to an office. “Now, since you two are close and one of you is a vampire, the relationship is going to change. You won’t be able to talk as much and we need to make sure the bond isn’t strained. Now for some people this isn’t a problem but for others it can become a major issue. I know you two are brothers and that this likely won’t be an issue for you but we have to make sure with everyone in this situation,” She recited the speech that she had probably done a thousand times.

“I’m fairly certain that won’t be an issue for us. I mean- there was a time where we didn’t talk for like two months and then went right back to it without a problem,” Anthony responded.

“Mhm, I'm sure we’ll be fine,”Raine said.

“That’s good i just have to make sure with everybody, standard procedure. Well! Now that that’s done and over with you two are good to go. Anthony will have to stay here for awhile until we are sure you have a suitable living arrangement,” Alice explained.

“I actually meant to talk to you about that. My pack doesn’t really have somewhere good to stay right now. We just got kicked out of our apartments and we don’t have anywhere to stay...Is there any possibility we could stay here for awhile, just until we can get something set up. There’s only 7 of us. If you can’t that’s fine I just had to ask,” Raine rambled on anxiously

“Yeah, that’s fine we have plenty of space for a reason.”

“Thank you, thank god...”

Anthony Jackson, Legendary Session Bassist and Contrabass Creator, Dead at 73

RIP Anthony Jackson. Rest in groove Maestro.

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Anthony Jackson — one of the most visionary and influential bassists in the history of our instrument.

Anthony’s impact extended far beyond the notes he played. He pioneered the concept of the six-string “contrabass guitar,” revolutionizing the role of the electric bass in art, jazz, funk, and beyond.

For the team at Fodera, Anthony’s partnership from the earliest days touched us deeply. Back in 1984, we began our collaboration by building prototypes and signature models that embodied his vision — models like the “Presentation” and “Presentation II.”

His legacy is woven into our DNA:

• His ambition and creativity inspired bespoke innovations at Fodera.

• His musical voice lent purpose to the way we think about design, craftsmanship and tone.

• His spirit of relentless exploration encouraged our team to never be satisfied with the status quo.

We extend our deepest condolences to his family, to his admirers around the world, and to everyone whose life was touched by his music. We will honor him by continuing the pursuit of excellence in our craft — inspired by the example he set.

Rest in power, Anthony. The bass world is forever richer for your contributions.

— The Fodera Team

Anthony Jackson played the iconic bassline on The O’Jays’ song “For the Love of Money”. He was only 20 years old when he recorded it, and the bassline was so influential that he received a co-writing credit for the track.

Rest in Power, King 👑🕊️🎸🎶

Long Live the Culture✊🏽✊🏽

I stumbled on to this, after a series of video skips, searching for Jazz Fusion albums.

Once the video started, I thought 'Oh, it's that extra smile pianist'.

After a few seconds, "Wait! Is that Anthony Jackson on bass? Oh man!"

After a few more seconds "Oh man! Is that Simon Philips on drums? Goodness!"

(Slow churning in my head) "What is this going to be like? Is there some big shot keyboardist too?" (I forgot Hiromi was already on piano.)

Still trying to grasp the music, thinking "Nice. This seems similar to some Michel Pettruciani type of music, which I tried to follow years back - and couldn't..."

It' s been worth expanding my understanding listening to these greats doing what they (can) do (and maybe most followers of their music understand - I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. And that's still OK). Respect to the fans too!

By the way, that location in Japan (hills and all) - beautiful. Reminds me of some parts of Seattle.

Some Latin jazz here, and this is pretty heavy…

With the phenomenal and famed Anthony Jackson on bass!!! And excellent pianist in Michel Camilo.

Smokin’ drummer but I don’t know his name, and now that I listen more closely, I hear him holding a rhumba clave with his left foot throughout a lot of this. Talk about limb independence.

Passion!!!
