       Known Age: Mid thirties

       The door of a one bedroom apartment opens up. Standing there is
       a man that looks to be in his mid thirties. Barely conscious,
       looking like he had one too many bar fights tonight and on
       deaths doorstep. He stumbles into the apartment and closes and
       locks the door behind him.
       Stumbling across the living room of the apartment he sits down
       on the couch. He reaches to his side and pulls out a holstered
       9MM and sits it down next to him on the couch. The handle of the
       gun is covered with blood, his blood. He reaches into his pocket
       and pulls out a pack of Camel Crushes. It opens the pack to find
       that its his last cigarette and sighs. He puts the last
       cigarette to his lips and bites down on the filter releasing the
       mentholated liquid that comes inside the cigarette. With his
       other hand he digs in his pocket and finds his lighter. Luckily
       the man has just enough energy to light what seems like his last
       cigarette. Once its lit he takes a long drag of the cigarette
       and blows the smoke through his nose and begins to think to
       himself.
       " The people that I work for are the type of people that want to
       keep things that go bump in the night out of the public eye. I
       mean think about it. I how would mom and dad feel to come home
       and find the babysitter draining their child of blood. Or some
       fae  bringing a painting of a purple lion to life.  My proper
       job title is "operative".  Long story short I go out into the
       field and get information. I am damn good at it too. What can I
       say I have my methods.
       Its a good job. The pay is nice. They even offer benefits. Paid
       vacation time. Hell even my coworkers aren't half bad. Yes there
       were days in which I really did not feel like coming in, but
       what job doesn't have that. Everything was fine. Then I along
       with eight other people took on this assignment sometime ago.
       Our boss set us down and explained what the assignment was
       about. She wanted the nine of us to go deep undercover into the
       vampire world. One of the other people in the room asked why
       vampires? I was just as confused as he was. As far as I know the
       people I work for and vampires are not hostile towards one
       another. In fact they keep themselves in check with this thing
       called " the Masquerade". Her reason behind this assignment was
       recon. She said that there was a lot of vampire activity in New
       Orleans. More so then normal. She said she wanted us to get
       embraced and work within the vampire community to find out what,
       if anything is going on. Our new identities and backgrounds have
       already been set up. She walks over to each of us and gives us
       each folder. Inside the folder are such things like, new
       passport, drivers license, social security card, and everything
       else needed start a new life. Once the packets of info were
       handed out she said there was no estimated time on how long will
       be undercover. She said we would be pulled out when the time was
       right. With that said the meeting was over and we all parted
       ways.
       I got back to my apartment and started to go over my new life.
       My new name was Louis Roth. I sighed and laughed at how
       ridiculous the name was. My cover story was that I worked
       private security. Being a bodyguard to rich and famous.
       Afterwards I worked as a private security consultant. Then
       finally at the age of 37 I retired. I guess private security
       pays well. My reason for being in New Orleans is to take in the
       sights and things of that nature. Over the next six months the
       nine of us would be flying into New Orleans. Reason being so
       that no one would have any idea that the nine of us know one
       another. Guess whose flight was number one.
       I arrived in New Orleans the next day. The people I worked for
       set me up with a nice one bedroom apartment in The Garden
       District. I took out a fresh pack of Camel Crushes and lit one
       up. I figured my best bet would to be check out all the popular
       hangouts and just go from there.
       Later that night I went to a local night club. Over the speakers
       is what sounded like two transformers having sex or what people
       call dubstep. I walked around the club and took a sit at the bar
       next to this one female. I knew this female was not a vampire
       because just by looking at her if she wasn't at some night club
       then she was in a tanning bed.
       We started making small talk. She told me she was with a few
       friends and asked me if I wanted to join them. I didn't see why
       not so I did. I joined her and her friends. It was a mixture of
       guys and girls. None of them gave off that "hey I am a vampire
       vibe". One of them asked me what my line of work was. I told
       them they whole I worked in security and now I am retired story.
       The night went one pretty uneventful. One shot turned into many
       shots. I only remembered bits and pieces of what happen that
       night. I remember there was pancakes. Then I remember waking up
       in a hotel room. Never seen the place before. The place was
       trashed. It looked like Motley Crue spent the night here.
       There was beer bottles, vodka bottles, and damn near every other
       type of alcoholic drink. There was even a line of cocaine on the
       nightstand. All that was missing were the whores.
       I got up from the floor of the hotel room still having on the
       clothes I had on from last night when I went to that club. I
       pulled out my cell phone to see what time was. My eyes widen
       when I say it was 8pm the next night. Next thing that happen to
       me was that I was thirsty and hungry all at the same time. But I
       wasn't hungry for food or water. I could not place my finger on
       it. All I knew is what ever it is I wanted it and that I would
       kill for it.
       Out of no where there was a knock on the door. I looked around
       trying to figure out what to do between now when that door
       opened. "The cocaine" I thought to myself. I rushed over and
       threw what was left of in the trash along with some other stuff
       to cover it up.
       There was a another knock again and the door slowly opened. It
       was housekeeping. The woman wheeled her cart of cleaning
       supplies in and the door closed behind her. She looked at me and
       then looked at the destroyed hotel room and then back me. She
       started yelling at me in Spanish. I didn't know what she was
       saying. I tired to clam her down and then it hit me.
       Everything happened so fast it was like a blur. One minute I am
       trying to clam down the very upset housekeeper and next thing
       you know it I have her pinned to the wall with my hand covering
       her mouth, her neck titled to the side and my fangs in her neck.
       I had never done anything like this before, but at the same time
       it all came so naturally. It was like riding a bike. I didn't
       know what happen, but when I got done drinking this housekeepers
       blood she was dead. All I was thinking was that this night went
       from bad to **** in a moments notice.
       "Think, think, think" I said to myself. I knew I could not stay
       here much longer. I knew I couldn't go out the door. Chances are
       there are security cameras out in the hallway. I looked outside
       the window to see what floor I was on. At lest one thing went
       right for me. I was on the second floor and there was an open
       dumpster outside with some trash in it that could break my fall.
       I opened the window to look around to see if anyone was outside.
       Lucky for me it seems like this is behind the hotel. I jumped
       into the dumpster and quickly made my way down an alley way. I
       remember I walked out on to Bourbon Street. I knew if anyone was
       following me I would be able to lose them here because the
       streets were packed.
       After awhile I finally made it back to my apartment. First thing
       I did was check my bank statement. If the room was changed to my
       card it would only be a matter of time before the police come
       knocking on my door. No hotel room charges were on my statement.
       Which meant either it was paid for by someone else or by cash.
       I took a shower to clear my head and sat down in the living
       room and retraced my steps. I took out my phone and look around
       in it. Maybe there was a call I made or missed call, a text or
       something. There was nothing new. I sat there just looking down
       at the floor trying to get an idea, a memory, or something. Then
       something hit me. Who the hell classes for housekeeping at 8PM
       at night? Maybe someone was trying to set me up.
       Then something else hit me. "Oh ****" I said to myself.  I
       remembered the assignment. Go undercover in the vampire world,
       get embraced and get information. Well I had did the embracing
       part, but there is only problem. I am a Caitiff. A Caitiff is
       the results of one night stands, infatuations, frenzied Embraces
       and outright mistakes. Second class citizens of the vampire
       world. I knew had to start trying to piece the night together.
       My best bet would be lay low for tonight and start on trying to
       figure out what happen last night tomorrow.
