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.

Vinny parks the car and then leads the way in to Gene's, knocking on the door and then letting himself in. "Hey Gene, how's it hanging?" he asks as he winds through the lobby, a grin on his sun-shaded face. Yes. Vinny wears his sunglasses at night.

Shelly followed a few steps behind. Vinny knew this guy and while that wasn't exactly "good enough" it was something. At least he wasn't a total stranger. Still, she wondered if perhaps Matt and Lynch should be in on this, too. She left a message for Lynch and asked her to find Matt, too.

Gene looks up as security alerts him to the incoming people. He looks up in time to see Vinny and Shelly enter and offers a grin.

"Low and a little to the left," he answers Vinny, turning off the TV and hopping to his feet. "Pizza? Extra cheese, onion, and garlic," he offers.

"So..." he stretches. "Vat iz it zat you have brought me?" he asks, sudden bad accent. "And who are you?" the accent's gone as he speaks to Shelly.

"Dr. Shelly Drumm. I'm a necromancer and an acquaintance of Vinny's. And that is something we found in the van of some vampire cultists. We need to know what's on it."

Greg stood in the back of the room with cigarette in hand. His over coat was closed seeing how he only had a pair of spandex shorts on underneath it.

Michelle hung back as well, keeping close to Greg. This had all passed so far beyond her understanding that it was almost ridiculous. Vampires--she hadn't even believed in them until she'd maybe turned into one. Even if she didn't seem to have the traditional vampire thing going on.

Which left the question of just what she was.

Gene nods, lowering the goggles resting on his head over his eyes. "Drumm, eh...I've heard that name before..." he trails off idly. "Vampire cult? Oh come now, I hate Twilight fans too but they're hardly a cult," he says.

Before he can say more, Gene's attention is drawn away. "Hey! Don't stand over there too long," he calls to Michelle and Greg. "Security might decide you're a threat. Especially you...whatever you are. Interesting..." he points to Michelle. He stares for a moment before pushing away from the desk and rolling along on the chair he's sitting in.

"To my lab! Bring what you brought me!" he laughs, heading down a hall while still on the chair. Eventually he leads the way to something that looks like some kind of weird cross between a mechanic's work bench, a doctor's office, and a magic user's work space. Gene gestured to a nearby area with chairs helpfully marked 'waiting' beyond some hanging beads. There were even various magazines ranging from Kid Disney to Hustler out there.

Rolling over to a bench, Gene flashes a grin and turns to the others. "Okay! Gimme gimme gimme!" he laughs, holding out his hands for whatever it is they brought him.

With a brief look over at Greg, Michelle headed further inside with the others.

Lynch came into the building looking pissed. “We have a problem, I tried to get in contact with Matt and he hasn’t gotten back to me yet. He is never like this unless something is wrong.”

Vinny followed after Gene, a black bag in his hands. It's not until he got back into the workspace that he started to open it up and pulled out what appears to be a normal enough laptop and passed that over to Gene. He then pulled his sunglasses off and turned a bit, a brow raising as Lynch made her way in.

"Do we need to mount a rescue squad?" he asked, quite seriously.

Letting out a little laugh, Gene snatches the laptop once it's offered. He places it on his work station and immediately gets to work. The man doesn't even glance up when Matt is mentioned.

"Who's Matt and why should I be concerned?"

"Don't look at me. I don't know a Matt."

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...

"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.”
