Chapter 3

(Continued from Chapter 2)

E-MAIL NOTIFICATION - ROSE & CROSS SOCIETY

SUBJECT: U-666
FROM: Alfred Singleton

TO: Max Windshoeffel
DATE: 18 July 2012

Last word from the Demitry, they brought up a crate from the U-666. No word since. Fear worst as an unexpected storm suddenly struck the American east coast around the same time. 

SUBJECT: Re: U-666
FROM: Max Windshoeffel

TO:  Alfred Singleton
DATE: 18 July 2012

It's all too familiar.  Dracula may be back. Has our NY agent made contact with Dysis Harker yet?

FROM: Alfred Singleton
TO: Max Windshoeffel

Her plane has not arrived. Ironically caught in the same storm... no word yet as to its whereabouts.

FROM: Alfred Singleton
TO: Max Windshoeffel

With all due respect, there are over 8 million people living in New York City. The odds of Dracula finding her are astronomical.

FROM: Max Windshoeffel
TO:  Alfred Singleton  

Yet, he somehow he always defies the odds. It was such a strange coincidence that of all the law clerks in Victorian England, Jonathan Harker was selected to travel to Transylvania to assist with the Count's relocation to London. What were those odds? Yet, we now know Jonathan was not the first Harker to incur the wrath of Dracula.


Urgent Message Homeland Security (DHS) to US Coast Guard
 

[Docket No. USCG-2012-0718]

DATE: July 18, 2012.

Unidentified Vessel

AGENCY: Coast Guard Investigative Service

Global Positioning System of the GPS IIF-3 tracking has placed the crash of the Unidentified sea vessel at 40.51, -74.18 on a public beach off Wolfe's Pond Park on Staten Island at approximately 2015 hrs .

We have intercepted a distress call from a vessel not far from those coordinates, identifying itself as the SS Demitry. The unidentified caller inferred that the entire crew compliment was deceased. It is believed that some mishap has also affected the caller.

We need to ascertain if this is the same ship that has crashed onto the shore and dispatch a CGIS team immediately.

Please take all high-risk security measures including biohazard protective gear. Wolfe's Pond Park is a wooded national park surrounded by residential homes.  

We need to lock it down before some civilian happens upon it.

Ian: Buzz on Police Scanner frequencies about some boat crash on beach of Wolfe's Pond Park. Going to check it out.  Lily: Why?   Ivan: They're having trouble getting to it with road closures. Mike's got his nightvision camera. If we get anything cool we can post on-line... or maybe sell to the news.
