In the deep darkness you can only hear the rain fall on the window glass. Lights flash within the skies and only a drumming sound is heard within this silence. Within this silence, Sir Integra is working in her office, looking through paperwork that she had received from the meetings with her majesty. Some of that paperwork is actually new articles, stating several murders that have occurred during these pass few days. She sighed lightly then she grabbed her Cuban cigar lifting it up to her mouth. She carefully read the reports, to see if there is any connection to each murder. As she goes through the many articles she has on her desk, the door slowly opens, revealing an older man with his hair tied up and he is smiling happily.

"Sit Integra, I have your tea as you requested." He said while walking in with a tray in hand, the tray had a lovely antique tea cup, filled with earl grey tea. On the side of the tray there is small sandwiches cut up neatly and perfectly, he lays the tray on the desk and then hands her a paper he had tucked in his vest. "Here is the list of the trainees that sent in the applications, as you requested Sir Integra." He said politely. "Thank you Walter… Has Alucard and the police girl come back yet?" she asked as she put the papers down. "Not yet, Miss Seras said she was coming early though, since she finished checking her side of the city. Alucard must be still lurking around in some of the abandoned areas looking for the ghouls that have been spotted." He said as he was fixing the papers she had on the desk. "Alright" Integra said with a sigh, seeming like she was becoming slightly anxious about the situation.

Then Integra grabbed the paper filled with the names of the new trainees. Most of them she remembered their names from the radio, they were either victims of an attack or witnesses to a murder. She even saw some of those recruits when she would go to a crime scene that was caused by a ghoul or a vampire that has gone mad. She sighed lightly and has a small frown, remembering their faces filled with such sadness and terror. Integra felt guilty, because she didn't want them to join the Hellsing organization in the first place, yet since they were victims or witnesses. They either have the right to go to another country for protection or join the secret organizations to fend off these monsters. Most of them she heard were barely even 17. It seems she has to take drastic measures, to insure that they won't enter; they are way too young to join such a place like this.

Walter noticed her sadden expression and placed the papers he was fixing back on her desk while she was taking a sip of her tea. "How do you feel about this Sir Integra?" he asked her. She kept starring at the names as if she was staring at a reflection of herself. "Walter, I want you to interview some of these children, if they are to damaged or broke minded, send them to a good home. They deserve a better life than this…" she said as she gave him back the list. Walter bowed lightly saying "Right away Ma'am" then he walked back towards the door closing it behind him as he walked out. Integra leaned back into her seat closing her eyes feeling slightly defenseless about the whole situation, but now the knight must concentrate on the case at hand. To solve these murders will be a great achievement. Maybe not only an achievement but release to her curiosity on who is doing such hideous things.

After some hours Seras came back but a little dishearten, Walter looked at her seeming a little worried about what happen in the field. "What wrong Miss Victoria? You seem so gloomy, didn't find any clues?" Walter asked as he took her coat while she was walking down the stairs to the dungeon area. As she walked to the corridor where her room was she spoke up and said "Well Walter there wasn't any leads what so ever. I even tried to ask around but no one knew about the people who died in the murders. I even checked up in those sources of yours to see if they have the identity of those victims. They said they have the faces but not their names. They didn't even have social security numbers or even IDs, as if they never existed. They even tried DNA tests but it leads them nowhere." Seras stated as she opened the door to her room. "It's sad…" she said while frowning and Walter looked at her slightly puzzled. "What do you mean?" he asked still slightly puzzled. "The first victim was only 8 years old while the other was 10 years old. Then the second set of victims was siblings, a 17 year old girl and her younger brother that was only 11 years old." Seras looked at Walter as he sighed slightly understanding the young vampire's sadness. "we will find the vampire soon Miss Victoria, just don't lose hope." Walter said while smiling kindly and she smiled lightly feeling a little relieved then she walked into her room locking the door behind her.

It was already morning but it was still dark because of the rain clouds in the sky. Alucard came back awhile before and handed Integra his reports with Seras' report as well. "It seems like the heavens are mourning as well for these children that were killed…" Alucard looked out of the window, for a moment he seemed so human. Integra was surprised of his human like statement then she continued reading the reports. "Knowing the Queen she must be mourning as well, as if it was her children that were killed…" Integra said while turning the page. "So the 8 and 10 year old were young boys?" she said aloud while Alucard looked at her noticing that sicken look on her face. "Yes they were, both of them died out of blood loss, several bruising on their bodies but only out of the struggle, nothing to serious." He said in a cold tone. "For the 17 year old girl, she had serious bruising on her legs and her arms her broken, including some of her ribs, then she was drained and her brother barely a scratch only a bite mark was left on his neck." Alucard said while looking at Integra. She looked sicken by hearing that the girl was severally beaten. What kind of horrors did this child endure, to have such a violent end? "Must have been a freshly turned human." Integra said as Alucard goes in front of her desk. "Will you be able to kill the next victim if he or she becomes a vampire?" He asked with a slight grin. Integra glared at him as he seemed amused at her reaction. "I will try my best to help them" she spoke up but he moves closer. "Do you really think you can save the next victims? Especially if they turn into the creatures you swore to destroy no matter what? By then they mostly likely will try to find a way to ease their pain." Alucard said as his grin grew.

Integra glared at him standing up from her desk. "Don't you ever dare to question me vampire!" she yelled out at him as he laughed in amusement. "Get out you filthy beast!" She declared while pointing at the door. "Yes Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing" he said while smiling and he bows his head as he vanishes into the shadows.
