"This is all I got," Evelyn said, handing Sinead the folder of uselessness. This will be great, she thought, a partner who can't even keep track of papers.

Sinead opened the folder warily, as if the papers inside might jump out and bite her. Inside she found only one sheet. "This is all they gave you?" she asked incredulously, "Really?" The words covered barely half of the page, double spaced.

"Yeah. They don't really like me over at HQ. In fact, I don't think it would be a stretch to say that they hate me. Anyway, this is just a list of celebrity scandals all relating to one man, a Mr. Geoffrey (pronounced Gee-off-re). Apparently he's a vampire, shocker, I couldn't tell that the first time I saw him. Basically I think we're supposed to make sure he doesn't turn any more people. According to this, he's turned at least forty in the last year," Evelyn said, reading the paper upside down. The espresso wasn't kicking in yet and she was exhausted. She waved at the barista, a young woman who seemed interested by the fact that Evelyn had ordered at least twelve espressos that morning alone and didn't seem to have any change in character.

"Celebrity scandals? Do famous people taste better or something?" Sinead leaned over and grabbed Evelyn's mug without asking. "Yeuchhh. What the heck is in this!?"

"First off," Evelyn said, taking back her mug forcefully, "don't take my food or drink. For all you know I have herpes. I don't, but you get the point. Second, I drink espresso infused hot chocolate with extra whipped cream and cinnamon. And just so you know, celebrities usually taste nasty because they are always on crazy diets and they often use fake tans that stain your fangs. He just has a thing for the limelight. Once bitten, people usually either become very attached and loyal to their masters or they decide that they hate them. I killed mine. Our relationship wasn't good. I would assume that Geoffrey likes getting free stuff and living a luxurious lifestyle for free."

Sinead blinked, absorbing the sudden influx of information. "So, ummm," she mumbled quietly, trying to fill the stilted silence left after Evelyn's sudden outburst. "Isn't it sort of a conflict of interest? Why would they send a vampire to hunt another vampire...?"

"I'm not friends with many of my kind, and who better to hunt a vampire than a vampire?" Evelyn pointed out, finishing the hot chocolate espresso. She still wasn't feeling the caffeine buzz and ordered yet another drink. She would have to give the barista a massive tip.

"Alrighty then!" The energy seemed to pop back into the faerie as she sat bolt upright. She made a complicated swirling motion with her hand and a map appeared on the table with a slight pop. She bent over and studied the roads, tracing paths with her fingers that left glowing lines. Finally they rested upon one spot. "Here it is. Hollywood. Home to the stars and, apparently, those who feast upon their blood." Sinead looked up at Evelyn, grinning. "It's vampire hunting time."

"You are too cheerful and bouncy. I'm not sure this relationship is going to work out very well," Evelyn said as the barista set down her fourteenth cup of hot chocolate espresso, "I have a car we can take to Hollywood and I'll see if I can get us into Geoffrey's mansion. If the tabloids are right -which they rarely are- he should be having a party tomorrow night, we can check him out then."

Sinead's eyes widened in horror at the new cup of the vampire's insane concoction on the table. She swallowed back a snarky response to Evelyn's comment, and instead decided to play nice. Sinead didn't have many vampire friends. Every single one she had met so far had serious attitude problems. Maybe this one could be different. As a gesture of goodwill, Sinead slid payment for the other girl's drinks onto the table. "All on me!" she exclaimed cheerfully. She hoped that the amount of money she put on the table was correct. Sinead never really had gotten a hang of the human monetary system. She looked at the wad of cash and back up at the girl across the table, trying to judge her expression.
