Sept. 15th 1938:
After my little chat with Fritz, it seemed like a good time to take a stroll to Spook Town. Frank and De should be aware of what I learned. Frank is well connected on their side having the only speak easy worth speaking about over there. Every Thing in Spook Town ends up at his place... and a lot of dirty dealing is done during Delila's dancing doll show.
Beside the acquisition of news, it would be great to see old Delila again. Just to be clear, when I say 'old' it ain't a put down. Delila is old, literally... she's three hundred if she's a day... not that you'd ever see her during the day... being a Vamp puts the cap on that possibility.
Yeah, she's a Vamp... I am romantically involved with a Vampire...so what? As far as I can tell the difference between a Norm Fem and a blood thirsty Vampire is that Vampires don't lie about it while they're draining the life outta ya!
Frank didn't seem surprised to hear the news. Seems he'd been suspecting something like this for a while. A lot of fang wagging had been going on around town and more than a few of the younger (100 years old or so) Vamps had been acting up; despite the Council's warnings. Frank told me he'd get me a list of some Vamps to chat with, and I made my way back to De's dressing room for some much needed R and R... I'll let you figure out what each of the R's are!
After a while Delila and I emerged to find her older brother, Horus, hanging around the bar. Horus is alright... not too happy about De and I... but what brother would be? I'm sure he thinks she'll get tired of me soon and drain me once and for all. He might be right as dames can be fickle, undead or not. Frank and I asked Horus if he had been privy to any Vamp unrest as he serves on the Council with Frank... he hadn't heard anything but told us he'd look into it too.
Makes me feel good knowing everyone is so willing to help guide a dick in the right direction. I said my good-byes and came back home to Our Fair City.
When I got back to the office, I found Manix Marlow there... and what he had to tell me shocked me to the core.
