It was his own damn fault that some strange alien was now free in his own, original world, and he had no idea what the consequences of that were. How powerful was Gorda? What could he do?

But there was also the terrifying Purge organization that made it hard to accomplish anything as a vampire, even hunting another vampire. As for exactly where Gorda "fit in" as far as usefulness was a complete mystery. "Gorda." Mithias just wanted to see what kind of a reaction this got. "Would you help me kill someone?"
