From the Journal of Robert Frohmeyer:
Oddly enough I have found common ground with Josh and his lover. It seems we are all wrapped equally tight around Eric's little finger as proven by our agreement to have a 'family dinner' on his birthday. I can only imagine how uncomfortable that will be. After all vampires don't eat...food. All I can see is the four of us sitting around the table with Drake and Josh watching me and Eric eat in an atmosphere of uncomfortable silence.

“Minns,” Drake said as the guard walked into the office. “What brings you here?”
“I thought you would want to see this.” Minns said dropping a copy of the Yuma Times on Drake's desk. “”I'd like to stake the bloodsucker responsible for this one myself.” Minns said before heading down to his post at the reception desk.
Minns was one of many familiars employed at Talos. More importantly he was head of the chosen group of familiars entrusted with enforcing security against vampires. If Minns had taken the time to personally deliver this paper then it contained something Drake needed to know.
Picking up the paper Drake headed to the Private elevator on this floor and made his way to the lower levels scanning the headlines. He found what he was looking for under State news. Had anyone been in the elevator with him, they would have seen the demonic face peep out for a brief moment in anger.
Making his way to the cells he went directly to the cell occupied by Pendragon's familiar. He was so caught up in his anger he never noticed Robert following behind him. Reaching the door he flung it open to find Blade calmly sitting on a stool waiting for the familiar to wake up.
Growling Drake pulled the unconscious man to a sitting position. “Wake this mother fucker up right now he demanded.
Hannibal seeing Drake's mood dumped a bucket out water over the man's head. When the man seemed to be fully conscious, Drake squatted and showed the newspaper into the familiar's fearful bruised face. “Your master just signed your death warrant and it is not going to be an easy death. If you do not want to suffer weeks of the most agonizing hell you can imagine you will tell us where he is.” Drake reached forward grabbing the man's left shoulder, squeezing the joint while the man cried out in agony.
Drake didn't stop until the ball socket had been completely crushed. “That is just the beginning. Everyday you refuse to tell us where he is I'll come back here and crush another joint, send us off on a wild goose chase and I will crush two.” Drake stood up throwing the newspaper to the floor before walking out the door without looking back.
Hannibal reached down and picked up the paper seeing the headline that had sent Drake into such a rage:
Missing Tempe Toddler's Body Found

“I guess we know why he's so pissed.” Hannibal said turning the paper so that Blade and Robert could read the headline.

“I don't want you to see him until I okay it. Maybe tomorrow, there should be some progress by then.” Ingrid said. “After priming him yesterday and last night, I want him to believe you're in immediate danger.”
“Do you honestly believe he's going to think that I have anything to fear from Drake?” Scud asked. He's seen Drake and I together too many times.”
“You forget he doesn't understand normal relationships. He thinks you should be groveling at Drake's feet maybe crawling behind him like a dog or something like that.” Ingrid said. “But two people genuinely caring for each other? He doesn't understand that.
Besides I already told him that Drake was unhappy about Pendragon's familiar and took it out on you. It's why I want them to have a little 'controlled interaction' this afternoon.”
Scud couldn't help but smirk. “I can only imagine what horrors he'll dream up after seeing that guy. I'm surprised the bastard is still breathing. Drake is beyond pissed right now.
Pendragon doesn't know the can of worms he's opened. I just hope one of them breaks and tells us what we want to know before the other two kids show up.”
“It's hard to believe even a vampire could be so bloodthirsty.” She said. “You would think butchering the parents would have been enough, but to take those poor children. To drain the life from a two year old, Pendragon deserves no mercy.” She shook her head in disgust.
“And those poor children don't have anyone now. The maternal grandparents have been dead for years, the mother was an only child. The paternal grandmother is in a nursing home with full blown Altzheimer's. The father had a brother that was killed in the Iraq war.” Scud said sadly. “When they are found they have no one left. They will end up as wards of the state. I know first hand what they will go through.”

“Drake, Do you have a moment?” Robert asked warily.
“What is it?” Drake growled. “I'm not in the mood for any bullshit from you.”
“I can see that.” Robert aid quietly and “I don't intend to stir anything up. I just want to understand why you are so angry at a vampire following it's nature.”
“And that right there is the root of your problem.” Drake snarled. “One vampire turns out to be a monster so we are all monsters.
By your definition I could say that every human is a monster. After all they only requirement you have to determine whether or not a vampire deserves death is our existence. And it's been like that since the beginning.
Even in the days when we sought our prey on the battlefield. Humans would hunt us down when we killed the very people that hunter was determined to kill. Even when we destroyed our own for breaking the law and slaughtering humans we were labeled as evil.
This was happening before I lost my beloved Sehkmet and my mind, before I went to ground to keep from wiping you all from the face of the Earth in my deranged fury. And yet I never once in my right mind thought that you all deserved death. Even in my wrong mind I never thought innocent children deserved death.
I am going to kill Pendragon because he is a monster. A monster that will prey on the innocent. That is one of the first laws I put in place, that children were off limits. But you look at me and see a monster. You look at your son and see a monster. Perhaps you should take off the blinders, then you would have no need of explanations to make you understand why a vampire would be outraged by what Pendragon has done.”

Pendragon felt better. Much better than he had felt in years the child's blood had been just the thing he thought. It's too bad he was so small, it took all the blood in his little body to bring Pendragon back to himself. He looked down at the boy and girl locked in the cage. Much bigger than the tiny one but still young.
“Don't worry,” He said to them, “I'm sure you will both last much longer.”
Pendragon made his way to his study. Finding several vampires gathered there he smiled at the group of infants. Out of them all only one was over 500.
“Children, it's time for you to bring me what rightfully belongs to me. I want Joseph brought to me along with Robert and his two sons. They can be found at the Talos buiilding. Do not fail me.” Pendragon said. “Kill anyone who stands in your way.”
