Cherry: Hello readers. My
name is Cherry Hansen and tonight we have Ethan Lamont here with us. He is the
lead investigator for Underground Investigations based out of New Orleans.
Ethan has generously granted our publication an interview. Hello Ethan.
Ethan: Hello Cherry, and
everyone else. I was asked if I’d talk about myself for the Shadow Lands
Gazette. I think it is a fantastic idea to have a publication for those of us
who are a little different.
Cherry: So tell us a little
about yourself Ethan. Who are you and what do you do..
Ethan: I grew up in the
little Texas town of San Marcos. Right after high school I left home looking
for my fame and fortune. Well okay, maybe not so much fame and fortune, but I
was looking for my own way. Eventually I found myself in New Orleans and
decided it was as good a place as any to continue my education.
I started attending the University
of New Orleans, majoring in Business Management. That would all change on the
night I was attacked by a vampire. Up until then. I didn’t have a clue vampires
were real.
Cherry: So the vampire that
attacked you also turned you.
Ethan: No he didn’t. Another
vampire was near. I would have died that night if not for my maker.
Cherry: What about your life
after that night? What has it been like for you?
Ethan: After that night my
eyes were opened to life in the darkness. Since then, I’ve worked to find those
not quite human citizens who prey on the innocence of the public. That’s what
my job is. It’s just plain wrong to use someone’s ignorance against them, and
that is what so many vampires and other fringe types do. I am a firm believer
the law applies to everyone, human and immortal alike. That’s why I started
Underground Investigations. I help the police solve crimes that don’t seem quite
normal.
Cherry: Can you talk about
what’s happening at Underground Investigations today?
Ethan: Obviously there’s a
lot I can’t talk about, but there are some things I’d like to share, like the
disappearances of so many young people around the country.
Cherry: There’s been some
buzz about that in certain circles but there hasn’t been much about it on
national news. So many kids disappear these days, a missing teen here and there
isn’t even mentioned.
Ethan: Yes, sad but true.
Sure, many of them are runaways, but there is a percentage that simply
vanishes.
Cherry: Do you think it
could be vampires?
Ethan: Not unless these kids
are being turned. There hasn’t been a drastic increase in homicides for that
age group. Another problem seems to be that some of these teens are special in
one way or another. They may have a reputation for being psychic, or they are
born into witch families, and there have even been a few vampires that have
disappeared. The vampires are a little more difficult to keep track of.
Cherry: And that is due to
their habit of going solo?
Ethan: Yes, and even if they
are part of a nest, the others usually don’t think much about it if one of them
disappears. That isn't always the case, but quite often.
Cherry: It is well known
that you are close with the girls known as the Immortal Sisters. What can you
tell us about them?
Ethan: It’s not my place to
talk for them or about them.
Cherry: Understandable.
Maybe we can get them to give our readers an interview?
Ethan: Possible.
Cherry: Well thank you so
much for your time. Please keep in touch and send us any tidbits of news you
might stumble on.
Ethan: Thank you for this
opportunity, and Shadow Lands Gazette will be the first to hear about it if
anything new comes up.
