September 16th 1938.
Manix Marloe hit me with a bit of news last night that I'm not sure how to handle. According to him Delila's brother Horus was seen running away from a Normal attack in the Park Blocks a few nights ago. It was hard news to swallow considering his affiliation with the Council and his relationship to my lady. I'm still not convinced Marloe is seeing things square on this... he's never been a fan of my involvement with a Vamp... none of his damn business I always tell him, but he likes to kick up a rumpus from time to time. Testing me. It's all a mug can do not to plant a knuckle brick in his kisser when he gets like that.
After he left the office, I pulled in Sylus Sly and Barry Baritone... these two are the newest recruits in Our Fair City's crusade to protect the Normals. Strange fellas... work in tandem. Sly is a bladed weapons expert and Barry is almost as good with his bare hands. Seein' these two fight side by side is an inspiration. Not that I'd let em in on that opinion... just sayin'. It's like a damned dance number... Lyla was smart to pull them into the team.
I let them in on the rumor and sent em off to scout it out. I hope Marloe is wrong, the last thing I need is my doll's brother standing between me and my job. Not sure how she'd take me stakin' him. But if he is playin' both sides of the portal I'm not going to be able to ignore it.
On a side note, Billie's been hinting that she isn't happy in her job no more. Not sure what her trouble is but I would be hard pressed to find a more qualified dame to run things in the front office. Gonna have ta figure a way to smooth thing over or she might blow. And though it pains me to say it...this is one dame I don't wanna see blow.
