Back at the manor the whole team of both Protectors and Brotherhood are in the main sitting room waiting for Alessandro to arrive. It’s not quite dark out yet, so all the shades are closed and the thick curtains are pulled for the vampires’ protection.

The view from the foyer is a very impressive sight of thirteen of the order’s most deadly members. It’s not every day that everyone is all together at once in one room.

“Ahh . . . Alessandro, why don’t you come in and join us so you can catch up on what’s going on,” Marquis says to him before turning back to Michael. “Michael, please continue.”

“Like I was saying,” Michael says turning away from Alessandro and back to Marquis, “I was walking around downtown by the waterfront in the old district and decided to check out some of the old buildings.”

“Michael, you know that is dangerous. You should have had back up with you,” Alessandro says angrily.

“Well, my back up was a little busy now, wasn’t he?” Michael says staring him down.

Alessandro looks away, feeling ashamed. He knows his family is and should be more important than anything else.

“Like I was saying, I went into a warehouse.” Michael looks at Marquis now. “I know we usually don’t go into buildings, but I had a funny feeling and knew I had to look. It was daylight so I wasn’t too worried about running into any Rogue.

“I kept to the upper floors just in case. On the first floor, in what looked to be a kitchen galley area, there were several refrigerators. I don’t know what possessed me to open one of the refrigerator doors, but for some reason I did. Man, inside there were dozens of containers of blood and bundles of wadded up stuff. The whole compartment was full of these things. With further inspection I saw that the bundles were really assorted human body parts.” He looks back at Alessandro. “Dude, I didn’t know what to expect, but definitely not that.

“I got my ass out of there right away but once outside, like the refrigerator, something compelled me to look in the cellar windows. Man, there were bloody mutilated bodies all over.”

“I think we may have a bigger problem than we originally thought,” says James, one of the Brotherhoods and Marquis’ right hand man. “Marquis, we need to get more aggressive.”

“I am aware of that. First, we have to stake out that building to see if it’s a Rogue nest. If it is, we need to take care of it. There has to be one close by, if it isn’t. We need to shut these bastards down.”

Marquis looks around at all of his men.

“Now that we are aware of how bad the situation is here, we have to keep in mind that the more Rogue there are, the greater the number of Rogue possibly being created. As you are all aware, the greater the number, the harder it’s going to be to wipe them out.

“The human death toll is going up and it will only get worse.
