From the Journal of Robert Frohmeyer:
Why are the young so stubborn? I attempted to talk to Drake. The man is convinced that he knows about vampires. As if someone half my age could know more than me. I've seen too many times what vampires do to their victims, the harm they cause. I have no choice, I must talk to Josh and hope that he will listen to reason.

“Ingrid .” Drake gestured the woman to a seat. “Well, what did you learn?”
Ingrid settled back in the chair and arranged her long skirt. The female vampire was a former student of Sigmund Freud and had spent the last 70 years deeply involved in studying the breakdown of the mind. She was now studying a new subject, Joseph Frohmeyer.
“He is not crazy.” She started “He simply lives a different reality.”
“That made no sense whatsoever.” Scud said walking over and handing the woman a glass of blood before sitting on the sofa next to Drake. “Either he's living in reality or he's crazy. Which is it?”
Ingrid gave Scud a glance. “Reality is a case of 'perception' if you will. Most people look at the world around them from a point of view that is mostly shared due to our experiences and education. The majority view is considered the sane view, because we have similar backgrounds that create our point of reference. Joseph has a completely different background and point of reference, his beliefs are perfectly sane when you take this into account.”
“So he's sane?” Drake asked incredulously.
“He was given to Pendragon when he was three years old.” Ingrid pointed out. “Children are a blank canvas so to speak. By manipulating their education you can create any reality for them that you wish.”
“So he's brainwashed?” Scud asked.
Ingrid gave a small smile. “No brainwashing suggests changing an established reality.” She stood up and began looking closely at the various paintings around the room. “Are these all oil on canvas?” She asked.
“There are a few acrylics,” Drake answered “But I'd much rather talk about Joseph.”
“Bear with me a moment and you will understand what I am saying.” She said. “If you had a gallery filled with oil paintings you call it art. One day you pick up a watercolor and place it in your gallery. It would be out of place but would it be any less a work of art? Joseph is a watercolor in a world full of oil paintings, simply because the artist chose to create it that way.”
Scud was deep in thought. “I think I get what you're saying. I mean when you look at history it makes sense. Like with slavery. Everyone thought it was normal because that's what they were all taught. Or thinking that Native Americans were all savages, right?”
“You get the gold star. Joseph is firm in his beliefs because he was taught to be firm in his beliefs, they are normal for him.” Ingrid said. “And the only way to fix what Pendragon has done is to brainwash him into a different way of thinking. In effect you have to paint over the watercolor with oil to make it fit in. However given his age that may prove to be extremely difficult.”

“Dad, I've met some vampires and they aren't all bad.” Eric said. “You taught me that there are good and bad people in every group.”
Robert looked at his younger son. “Vampires aren't people, they are bloodsucking parasites. We have to kill them all before they kill us, it's that simple.”
“Pendragon is a bad vampire Dad, and there are plenty of vampires out there trying to find him so they can destroy him.” Eric said. “That's good.”
“Son, destroying Pendragon simply removes competition. They know this that is the only reason they want to destroy him.” Robert said as he stepped off the elevator. “We have to get your brother to understand this, before something happens to him. Drake won't listen, but I'm not going to lose my son again.”
Delores looked at the two as they approached her desk. “I suppose you want to see Mr Frohmeyer? He's in his office. But if I'm correct Eric, and I always am. You should be meeting with your tutor in 10 minutes.”
“He can meet with his tutor later, right now we need to speak to Josh.” Robert said firmly.
Delores gave the man a less than friendly look before picking up the phone and pressing a button. “Yes sir. Your father and brother want to speak to you.”
The door opened almost immediately. “Eric shouldn't you be getting ready for your lessons?” Scud asked.
“Forget his lessons! We need to talk, all of us.” Robert said.
“Eric go get ready.” Scud said Noticing the relief on his brother's face. Taking Robert's arm, Scud pulled him into the office and closed the door. “In case you forgot you gave me full custody of Eric. So for the moment what I say goes. He's being home schooled and he is not going to miss his classes, for any reason.” Scud went to his desk and sat down. “Now if you want to talk to me then talk.”
Robert looked at his son for a moment before taking a seat. “Yes I want to talk to you about your boyfriend's habit of trusting vampires. I didn't make the sacrifices I made to have you getting all tangled up with the bloodsuckers!”
Scud leaned back in his seat and took a deep breath. “Drake trusts the vampires he works with and I also trust them. That is my decision. I'm not a three year old child, I'm a 30 year old man.”
“Look Josh, I never wanted you getting mixed up with them.” Robert said. “It's why I walked away from you and your mother. To keep Pendragon away from you!”
“A fat lot of good it did too! You're looking at a familiar.” Scud pinned Robert with a glare and pulled down his bottom lip revealing Damaskinos' mark. “San Diego. I was whoring on the streets and some psycho was killing us. That's when I became a familiar. Overlord Eli Damaskinos approached me and offered me a way off the streets. I took it. I became his familiar. He sent me to school, put a roof over my head and took care of me. It didn't take too long for me to start looking at him like a father.”
Scud saw Robert flinch at his words then continued. “Don't worry, he betrayed me too. As soon as I turned 18 I found myself at work in one of his clubs. I was back to whoring, this time for his suckhead patrons. Luckily I was a smart whore, I made sure Damaskinos knew I was worth more than a piece of ass. He recruited me to get in good with Blade, be his little mole on the inside.”
“You spied on Blade?” Robert asked aghast.
“That's right but I never betrayed Blade. When Blade killed Damaskinos I found myself in the clutches of Danica and Asher Talos.” Scud took a deep breath. “Danica introduced me to Drake, not realizing that Drake was planning to get rid of her and her brother.”
“A vampire introduced you...” Robert's brain was quickly adding two and two. “Drake is a fucking vampire!”
“Drake is not 'a' vampire. He is the vampire, the father of them all.” Scud said. “And no, I'm not his familiar. You think every vampire needs to die?” Scud laid a silver stake on the desk. “Well you'd better kill me then because I'm one too.”
Robert stood up so fast the chair he had been sitting in tipped over. “No, no.”
“That's right you want to hate every vampire then hate your son!” Scud said. “Just remember you're the one who deserted me, You're the one who left me to fend for myself. So you'd better hate yourself too since you caused the entire mess that lead to this.”
Robert pulled open the door and ran from the office.
*****
Pendragon paced his study. So far there had been no sign of Joseph. He snarled “Enter!” at the knock on the door. One of the vamps came in and dropped to his knees.
“Master we still can't find him. It is no longer safe for you here.” The vamp suggested. “If your familiar has betrayed you, you are in danger.”
“I am not going anywhere until he is found!” Pendragon snarled. “I must make him pay for his betrayal. And I must acquire his replacement. I want you to gather your familiars have them go to Talos Industries and bring me Joshua Frohmeyer.”
The vampire nodded. “As you wish Master.” The vampire stood and headed for the door.
“And there had better not be so mush as a hair out of place when he arrives here.” Pendragon snarled.
