After capturing Ceasar, Erina went to her house and was about to eat when she remembered that she had to do a report but she was so hungry that wanted to eat. But when she was about to sleep, Sylvia called.
-Erina: What it is? Another case?
-Sylvia: No. You can help me getting Beat back to his study after drinking?
-Erina: Why you ask me?
-Sylvia: Beat said that he would go to drink some drinks.
-Erina: You should leave him alone. His friend has died.
-Sylvia: That's why I want you to help me. He surely needs a friend. And without that, he'll get really drunk.
-Erina: Send Vinnie. I'm totally ready to call it a day.
-Sylvia: Yeah, send Vinnie. I'll need good luck in that. And a grave!
-Erina: Ein?
-Sylvia: If Beat gets moody, he can shoot anyone.
-Erina: And sending me is the best thing to do...
-Sylvia: No. You are the only companion of Beat alive. That's why I ask you. And he won't shoot you.
-Erina: Why?
-Sylvia: Because he worked with you today.
-Erina: I'll get ready. But you have to tell me where to go.
-Sylvia: Remember the Gravity Cat pub?
-Erina: There a friend works part time every tuesday and friday.
-Sylvia: Well, better. I know that he goes there.
-Erina: Then you called the best girl to go grabbing drunks...
-Sylvia: Alone I can't carry such heavy... and muscled man...
-Erina: Sylvia... You can shoot him everyday. Why not carrying a dead corpse?
-Sylvia: I can't. I'm weak.
-Erina: (sigh) I'll have to go.
Erina gets changed into casual clothes and go to the west part of the city.

Erina arrives to the district called the district of the night, also called the leisure district. It is pretty lively all days, filled with cinemas, theaters, parks, recreational halls all around the place. Also there are some shops that were selling games. All about leisure was in that district mostly. If there wasn't something there, in less than a month it would be there. Many pubs opened there too. Like the Gravity Cat. It was the most known pub with an extra part where there was an artificial gravity field where there was races of all the types. Many stayed there to drink and hear a singer singing but there were also those who loved to do acrobatics in the gravity field area.
Sylvia and Erina meet in the Gravity Cat and find the bartender talking with Beat.
-Barry: Hi girls. I'm Barry the bartender.
-Erina: Hi! I'm Erina Hell. And my companion is Sylvia. We came to check on my boss. (Points Beat) Who surely is drunk already.
-Beat: (drunk) Why you saaay that!?
-Sylvia: Knew it. His body can regenerate from any wound but he's weak against alcohol. And he drinks to forget that a friend has died.
-Beat: Chase was a good boy! Why he had to attack those bastards that create the procontrol pills!? Hiiick! And what the government do to try to avoid that!? Nothing! Like always if something happens, call Beat Graves! He'll kill anything! What a bunch of bastards!
-Erina: Can you explain me this, Sylvia?
-Sylvia: After the case, he learned that the government itself asked us. He got angry.
-Barry: And here my friend Beat came to drink until he falls asleep. Like every time that a companion dies.
-Erina: So you know him!?
-Barry: Of course! If weren't because of him, I wouldn't have been able to open the Gravity Cat! Nicholas! Go and prepare some drinks for these ladies!

A pale boy with red eyes and black hair that was wearing a black shirt, black trousers and black trainers came and looked surprised at Erina.
-Nicholas: Erina!? What are you doing here!? Your father wouldn't approve this!
-Erina: I'm here to keep an eye to Beat. Yeah, Beat Graves. The monster hunter.
-Nicholas: You are already in White Hope!? That's going fast!
-Erina: Yeah. But what a boss I've got. I'll drink some te...
-Sylvia: Stop it right there! No! If you are going to drink, why not drink some strong drink!?
-Erina: Because later we have to carry Beat to his study?
-Sylvia: Give me one good Beer!
-Beat: More Rum please!
-Erina: "Someday this will be natural for me? I hope that no!" Then I'll drink a glass of whisky. In the end I'm an adult already.
They all started like that but after an hour, Sylvia and Beat were knocked out. And Erina had to take them to White Hope. Luckily Nicholas decided to help her carrying Sylvia because he couldn't lift Beat.
-Erina: "Next time, that she does this on her own!"
-Beat: (sleeping) Thanks Erina... You catched the... guy this time...
-Nicholas: He's nice in the end!
-Erina: If he's drunk yes. Sober he's way too complex for me!
-Nicholas: All is to end knowing him entirely. And you are not an easy girl!
-Erina: Excuse me!?
-Nicholas: Yeah! It's hard to know in what you are thinking. And stubborn!
-Beat: (laughing while sleeping)
-Erina: I think that he's only playing to be drunk...
-Nicholas: Why?
-Erina: He hasn't thrown up.
-Nicholas: Don't ask for it....
Beat is about to throw up when Erina drops him.
-Erina: I've got reflexes. Good ones.
Erina grabs Beat and keeps walking.

Several days after...
Erina POV
Ceasar Winggates was put in prison for conspiracy, planning several asssasinations, tricking Chase to do them, for fraud and several more reasons. He even tried to prove that he wasn't connected to Chase because he changed his color of hair. He won't get out of jail never again. The bets on his survival are 1000:1 to 8 hours. No one expects him to survive the first day.
The procontrol pills were destroyed and the werewolfves were safe of those drugs. They had to use the old method for the first timers in transforming in werewolfves that was sending them to the forest. The ecologists and some of the wealthy werewolfves didn't like that and now they all hate one guy in particular. Yeah, my boss, Beat. Beat is happy with that. He said: For hipsters and posh people I'll be bad. Less stupid fans for me. He seems to hate posh people and hipsters.
Also Beat went to the burial of Chase and had to meet a young girl that was about to have a kid whose father was Chase. Beat is like the uncle of that kid and takes care of the kid when he goes to visit.
About our witness, Nick, now he works as a chef of a restaurant.
I'm doing great and seems that all will go well. At least I'm having fun in White Hope. Still, seeing Beat KO was cute... He looks like he couldn't do any harm to anyone. More wrong you couldn't be.
Talking of that, many famous people died thanks to the church. The government called it the inquisition incident. All of the dead people were buried and the case was closed under the reason that it was to destroy the vampires who kidnapped people and that they were collateral damage. Even Beat was laughing of that explanation. As a bad joke he said: So much collateral damage! It was the Hendricks usual collateral damage! And he wasn't there!
Not finding the good part of the joke. But I sense that he wasn't joking only...
Still everyday is fun here! Let's see what will happen next!

First case completed! I hope you liked it! There'll be more cases. Lots of them! Vote and comment!
