In a darker area of Chicago, there's an apartment building that has seen better days. It's still livable but doesn't look nice at all. And it has one resident, the man that owns it. Gene Kalso, aka The Breaker. To the untrained eye the building is normal. But to those with the right abilities, the building has some pretty good mystic defenses. There are some security cameras cleverly hidden outside too.

He's in the lobby tonight, watching a TV and eating some pizza. The lobby is pretty nice and fixed up and the casually dressed Gene's got his feet propped up on the desk. A security camera overhead watches the door but Gene knows some of his contacts are coming and bringing him something interesting. Something about a body and a laptop. Gene wasn't paying attention to the phone call. But he's still waiting.

"Man, these Mythbusters losers are just jokes," Gene laughs as he takes a swig of the beer he's got with him.

Gene stands off to the side, just watching everyone flit about with idle interest. He glances down at the blood on his coat and frowns. "Aww..." the man mutters. Hearing the phrase black magic makes him perk up.

"What kind of black magic we talking here, Drumm? This place is rather...uh oh," he cuts himself off as a device around his wrist beeps. Looking over, his eyes widen as something scaly and yellow has started to crawl its way out of the laptop screen. "We have guest..." he trails off. When the creature is fully out of the computer it's rather obviously some kind of demon. It's covered in scales and electricity seems to be arcing between it's claws. Only about five feet tall, it looks mad.

"Zee good newz!" Gene suddenly declares. "I have decrypted zee laptop! Zee bad newz!" the man glances to the others. "It iz now going to try to kill us!"

The demon roars and starts stalking towards Michelle. Gene meanwhile moves to Matt's side. "Right! Doc, how's about you go fight the ugly?" he suggests. "I will heal our stripper friend," he adds, patting Matt on what looks like an uninjured area.

Michelle tensed, baring fangs on some primal instinct.

"What... what the hell is that thing?!"

Sighing out a breath, Vinny just shook his head at the demon and motioned with a hand towards the demon as he willed the shadows in the room to wrap around it and hold it back and restrain it. As he did this, he looked to Michelle and said rather blandly "Something horrible that wants to eat your brains. Y'know.. nothing too bad."

The thing struggles against the shadow-tendrils holding it back. For the moment, they're holding, but not for much longer...

"...Does this happen often?" Michelle asked, finding this harder and harder to believe.

"Yes. They're usually not this clean though," Gene remarks as he steps forward. Pulling his gun out of his coat, he starts muttering under his breath.

"Stupid necrolady getting my lab all smelly with black magic and throwing knives everywhere. She could've gone upstairs to the knife throwing room if she wanted to throw knives," he mutters, slowly loading his spell-shooter with odd looking bullets. "And stupid demon showing up instead of going in the box where I wanted it and did it bring any snacks? No...they never bring snacks," he goes on as the gun is loaded and readied.

"Next time don't forget the french fries!" he barks, pointing and shooting at the demon. Instead of a bullet, a spell is fired from the muzzle of the gun along with a burst of mystic runes. Should the spell hit, it will start to freeze the beastie from the point of contact.

Lynch shoots at the demon dead straight between the eyes not sure how effective it will be with her police issue pistol. She was really wishing she her special gear with her.

The beastie freezes from Gene's weapon's shot, then shatters from Lynch's revolver. The pieces appear to de-rez in mid-air, and in a moment, there's nothing left.

Smirking, Gene puts his gun away. "Nice shot," he remarks to Lynch. Michelle just gets an odd look. "What's your problem?" he asks, gesturing at a closet. A bit of magic summons a broom and dustpan to start sweeping up the demon bits.

"Now...let's see what they want protected so badly," Gene laughs as he heads over to the laptop and starts browning through it.

“Everyone starts out a rookie,” Lynch says trying to reassure Michelle, “Don’t worry about it. My first time involved me trying to throttle a troll with a nightstick.”

“Thanks you should see what I can do with my none standard equipment.”

Gene is actually quiet while he reads. After a moment his eyes go wide. "By the insert thing here of insert mystic being here..." he trails off.

The mad scientist starts rushing about the room, checking books. After a moment he runs his hand through his hair.

"Well. Seems like there some kind of weird cult trying to bring Dracula back and something they need to do it is in Egypt," he says casually.

"That's rather rude of them."

"Wait... Dracula?" Michelle asked. "Okay, I buy vampires..." Especially seeing as how she might have been one. Kinda.

"But Dracula?"

She paused a moment. "...Makes about as much sense as anything else around here."

"What's this about Dracula?" Shelly had washed her hands before joining the group and was smoothing skin cream into her hands as she approached.

"Matt'll live, by the way."

"Yeah, or something close to it." he says.

"What's going on here?" he asks.

She shot Matt a look out of the corner of her eye. This one was going to be trouble.

Gene rolls his eyes slightly. "Just like I said. Dracula," he says. The man in the goggles picks the laptop up and clears his throat.

"Apparently someone named Brother Xerxes is sending minions to Egypt. There's some kind of artifact there that's been given an Undead guard while it grows in power. And now that Dracula is coming back, he'll be more powerful than ever if he gets it. Got some coordinates too. So..." he pushes his goggles over his eyes and strikes an overly dramatic pose.

"FIELD TRIP TO SAVE THE WORLD!"

“I can’t go to Egypt not right now,” Lynch said, “I could lose my job and I really like it so far. But I can keep an eye on things here if you guys are going.”

"It's not a happy go lucky field trip. It's a serious mission. And my guess someone's gonna get hurt and require medical attention. I can go. It is a good idea if someone stays behind, though." She regarded Lynch. "And if anything really creepy fleshes out, you can let us know. I have...ways of getting to and from expediently."

"Dracula, huh? Last I heard he was dead. It's probably a good idea he stays that way, because the vampire population in the world was on the way down, which is a good thing." Matt says.

He's not currently aware there's a vampire in the room with them.

"Alright. I'm in." he says.

Gene just frowns at Shelly. "Must you be such a downer?" he asks simply.

He then looks to Matt and nods. "Yeah...I think the whole point of our little merry band is to make sure he stays dead dead," he remarks.

"That... sounds like a very good thing," Michelle agreed. "Maybe that will put a stop to these whackjobs running around the city."

"Yes, Gene. I absolutely must be such a downer."

As others joined the Egypt party Shelly nodded...and tried not think about the possibility that she had put herself up as protection for a near-stranger.

"So are we going to go with traditional travel arrangements or are we looking at more...expedient methods?"

She had a spell right on hand--one learned from her father--that could open a realm and step them right through. No black magic required.
