“[i][color=f7941d]He’s been kidnapped he didn’t run anywhere.[/color][/i]” Elizabeth frowned feeling like she couldn’t hear her thoughts. “[i][color=f7941d]Let’s go talk to the bartender to see if he knows anything.[/color][/i]” Having to scream so Steele could hear her. Once he agreed to join her she elbowed her way through the dense crowd. Getting some glares and looks from the people she was elbowing. Finally getting to the bar she waved and yelled for the bartender to come over. A short fat man soon came waddling towards them holding a bar mug. 

“Yeah, what do you wanna drink?” He asked while cleaning the mug he had in his hand with a rag. 

“[color=f7941d][i]We’re looking for a man named Ludwig Strauss, he may have been at this bar a few days ago. He went missing a few days ago, and we’re looking for him. Or have you seen any suspicious people in the last few days?[/i][/color]” She then started describing what Ludwig looked like. All of the information she was giving to the bartender didn’t seem to phase him. 

“I don’t know anyone named Ludwig coming by the bar here. So I don’t know how I can help ya find him. Now if ya excuse me I’m a little busy with my customers. Nor have I seen any suspicious people around, there’s a lot of weirdos here.”  The bartender left to serve some drunk humans. Meanwhile, Elizabeth looked livid and was very close to jumping over the bar. Of course, if Steele was quick enough she wouldn’t even start climbing the bar. 

“[color=f7941d][i]Fuck.[/i][/color]” She looked around the room after composing herself. “Let’s go talk to the local alkies around here  and see if they know anything.” She started talking to anyone that she assumed was an alcoholic.  The few she was talking to she had tried to put the charm on them. From what she did learn there was a small group of people. They seemed to mention this group looking very pale and wouldn’t have any drinks. One of the drunks mentioned one person in the group talked about moving the package to a safe location. This caught her interest but when she pressed for more info the drunk started rambling. She hoped that Steele would find some good clues. 

==========================================

Meanwhile, Ian and Enzo were walking investigating the club. As Enzo closed his eyes he could hear the faint whisper of ghosts and those who had lived in this area in the past. Most of them are hobos and vagabonds. Nothing that would be useful for their investigation. 

But the ghost that Enzo was communicating would be able to see more than what the group could.  “[i]You better keep your promise or I’ll be in a world of hurt…[/i]” The ghost seemed to frown hoping that Enzo would be able to keep his end of the bargain. 

This particular ghost has been working for the Skeletal Legion for a couple of years now.  He wanted to know more about his family and his ancestors. So he had been working with Enzo who promised to help him. 

The ghost looked around the area asking the other spirits if they had seen anything. It took half an hour perhaps a little longer. Returning a few moments later. “[i]From what I could find a group of guys were talking about where to find Ludwig and where they would be holding him. They might be holding him in a house in the Lower East Side. Now you gotta hold up your end of the deal. I wanna know about my ancestors.[/i]” The ghost was now moving so he was standing right in front of Enzo. Having his arms folded while looking down at the vampire.
