The NYPD reported to law enforcement systems across the United States that two more names had been added to the vampire whitelist. It had been expected to spark controversy and debate.
After all, when Blade had previously been protected by S.H.I.E.L.D., the FBI in Los Angeles had expressed its opposition through silent protest. When they had sent SWAT teams to raid Blade's base, they had suffered considerable casualties.
In the end, S.H.I.E.L.D. had painstakingly proven that the Blade murder case had been a trap designed by a Vampire. Not only had the FBI been used, but Vampires had also infiltrated its ranks. Those monsters had wanted to capture Blade alive and move him elsewhere.
Fortunately, another group had broken in and rescued Blade at the critical moment. But FBI Los Angeles Office personnel who did not know the full story had exchanged fire with them alongside the Vampire moles.
After the President of the United States delivered a speech declaring war on Vampires and Werewolves, an internal purge in the Los Angeles FBI uncovered a large number of Vampire Faction members. The distinctive tattoos on their bodies were irrefutable proof.
At that point, the FBI could not even extort compensation money from S.H.I.E.L.D. Eradicating Vampires and Werewolves was an ongoing national policy, but how to deal with Vampire Faction members who were still technically human remained a gray area hidden from public view.
If S.H.I.E.L.D. truly pressed the matter, everyone at the FBI Los Angeles Office would end up in prison. Then again, ever since a certain Kryptonian had come to Los Angeles, the FBI there had seemed plagued by misfortune.
