Detective Carter was following a lead about a suspect when he heard a woman screaming. He had been walking down the streets of New York around midnight. When he heard her, he immediately pulled out a handgun and a flashlight. He went deep into a dark alleyway where it smelled like bad chinese food he recalled leaving in the fridge one day. There was a mess of certain puddles that he avoided stepping on besides the dumpsters and occasional rat as he shined his light on everything he saw in front of him. He could see the woman's body laying there. Another figure stood near her. "Freeze! Get down on the ground! Now!"

Sebastian had been wandering the streets of New York, visiting from the United Kingdom. He hadn’t thought much of his accommodations but then again, he hadn’t exactly splashed out on this trip. Even at night, the hustle and bustle of people on the streets was intense! As though it was somehow still midday to these people. This was nothing like home. Back in England, the streets would be utterly deserted by now, the only hope of a snack being the local drunks in the pubs or those partying in night clubs. That or the homeless...which...were definitely not a favourite of Sebastian's. Those people have it hard enough already without monsters like himself making meals out of them.
Eyes the colour of honey glancing at his reflection in the windows of shops, Sebastian thought how much more he seemed a part of the humans world than he ever had. Not some stranger hanging around in the middle of a deserted street in the middle of the night. Another face in a sea of faces under street lamps. Blended in perfectly. He could stay here…
The wind barely ruffled his short, brown hair. He felt a couple of specks of water hit his pale cheeks. It was starting to drizzle yet the air was still warm. It was certainly summer here. Sebastian estimated he had around five hours before the sun rose and he’d have to get back to his hotel. Plenty of time to find a suitable donor to satisfy his thirst and take in the sights. First he would need to find somewhere quieter. These streets were far too busy to not get noticed. So he decided to go for a walk first, find some quieter areas to work.
He’d walked for around half an hour before finding an area that was actually calmer. Didn’t exactly look like a good neighbourhood either. A young girl with a black eye and barely any clothes began walking towards him. Sebastian grimaced. He couldn’t imagine the kind of torment her life consisted of. Perhaps relieving her of her life could be considered a mercy? Just as he put on his most charming smile and was
about to approach her, a scream erupted from an alley nearby. While this wouldn’t be something that would normally bother Sebastian, the world is cruel and that is an unfortunate fact of life, but the girl he was about to make his dinner was frightened off by it. She took off in the opposite direction and although there weren’t many people around, there were still too many eyes around for him to just chase her down. He had to let her go.
Clenching his fists, he ran towards the source of the scream. Angry at whatever had just cost him his meal. He reached the body in no time at all but whoever had committed the murder (and the loss of Sebastian’s supper) was nowhere to be seen by the time he got there. “Fuck!” He hissed under his breath out of frustration and rubbed his face. It’s fine. This is fine. There’s still four hours left! He’ll just walk away from this body before anyone sees and find a different- "Freeze! Get down on the ground! Now!"
“You have got to be kidding me!” Sebastian seethed. His accent a thick Norther English. He threw his hands up and faced the stranger that had just entered the alley with him and was now pointing both a torch and a gun at him. “Look man, I just got here! And get shut that damn light out will you? It’s hurting my eyes!” In all fairness to this stranger, Sebastian probably looked like something out of Jack the Ripper...Clothes wise anyways.

Carter looked at this guy and figured he was one of those gothic fanatics. He shouted again as he walked closer. "I said get down! Put your hands behind your head and lay on your stomach or I'll shoot!"

For a moment, Sebastian debated running up and snapping the male's neck. Who would know? Better yet what if he made this man his meal? It would certainly save him a lot of time. From the looks of him, the man seemed tired, unshaven. Trouble sleeping perhaps? Even from here, Sebastian could smell the smoke and liquor. Grimacing, Sebastian didn't like the idea of feeding from someone who poisons their body but he was beginning to get desperate. If he wanted to get close enough to feed without drawing unwanted attention, Sebastian was going to have to play along until this officer was close enough for him to grab. Calmly, he placed his hands behind his head and knelt down. "Alright, alright. Let's try to keep things calm, huh?" He tries, glancing at the officer. "My name is Sebastian Walker. I'm just here on a holiday and found her like this. I swear."
Sebastian looks down at the dirty alley floor and cringes. "Do I have to lay down? It's so dirty, I don't want to muck up this jacket..." As he complained he glanced at the dead woman and froze, staring. There was a faint burning smell coming off of it. Like burning skin. "Oh officer..." He calls out, still staring at the body. "Just out of curiosity...have you had many murders in this area lately?" Slowly, he lowers a hand from his head and reaches out to lift the girls jacket a little off her shoulder. "And did they all get their shoulder branded?"
