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.

"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.”

"These creeps tried to kill me," Michelle said. "I want in on kicking their asses."

"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.
