I am not entirely certain how it came to be thus, or when. At some point since my arrival in this city it became my duty to bolster the Masquerade any time it becomes threatened by the indiscretions of anyone or anything foolhardy or ignorant enough to breach it. It is a thankless job that requires more time and attention to detail than I care to describe. Those whom I protect by virtue of my mastery of the kine around me are seldom requital for my services, more often they are contemptuous or even vengeful, and the Prince simply expects this of me. If I were to fail in my task, I expect he would just as likely seek to punish me as the perpetrator.

But I do not. Covering up the foolishness of an errant neonate with a pistol is not exactly taxing, but still time consuming and, to say the least, annoying. Authoring a believable story for covering up a rampaging Nosferatu that can throw a car is another matter entirely. When I heard the initial reports, I knew that I had to act quickly, but the details had to be perfect if the matter was to be brought to a decisive conclusion in the eyes of the masses.

Finding an oafish brute to fit the grotesque proportions proved more difficult than I imagined, but not impossible, and as luck would have it, my patsy was not too far away, he should easily be able to make the journey to Sanfield before this night is through. My target was also kind enough, or vain enough to openly display his name, address, vital statistics and whereabouts in easily accessible accounts strewn across the internet, facebook, twitter, the works. From these it was not difficult to access his police records and make a few minor alterations to increase his already significant history of violence to suit my purposes; a restraining order here, a domestic dispute there, these steroid enhanced myophiles are already on a hair-trigger as it is.

Once my guest arrives, I will simply re-write his memories to ensure that he remembers dropping everything back home and hurrying to our lovely city on a sudden recollection that the strung-out and anorexic love of his life who had left him days before had mentioned an old flame once that lived here. He just knew that she had run back to him and came to reclaim what was his. I doubt anyone will have a chance to question him after I have finished with him, but he will likely scream something about it repeatedly as he rampages though the streets.

After I have dosed him with a small amount of my blood to enhance his already frightening strength and pumped him full of enough PCP to kill a horse, I will have him released a few blocks from the Downtown streets where our Sewer Rats had their little scuffle and phone in an anonymous tip to the local media just a few minutes before I phone one in to the police. I'm sure everything else should work itself out, it should require a hail of bullets to take him down, and he should have more than ample time to cause some collateral damage. Once the ensuing carnage makes the evening news, I have only to contact Mister Hyde, to be sure he knows who to thank for saving his life.
