Prince of the City
Frank Kohanek and Sonny Toussaint are in Lieutenant Kwan's office. Kwan criticizes Frank over his obsession with Julian Luna, but Frank also has his sites trained on perhaps an even more dangerous adversary, Eddie Fiori. They meet with one of Eddie's underlings from the Dock Worker's Union, Paulie Boyle. They coerce Paulie into wearing a wire and going undercover to prove that Eddie is accepting bribes from ship owners. They go to the union office and send Paulie inside. Paulie talks with Eddie and another Brujah named Nino Donelli. Paulie is very overt in speaking about the bribes, and Eddie immediately figures out what is going on. He pulls his shirt open and sees that Paulie is wearing a wire. Frank and the others hear Paulie's screams of pain and raid the office. Eddie and Nino are gone. Frank goes upstairs and finds Paulie's body lying on a table with a metal hook sticking up out of his chest. Sonny and Kwan come in to find Frank touching the hook. Now that his fingerprints are on the evidence, Frank now looks suspicious. Sonny informs him that there will likely be an Internal Affairs investigation. Kwan and Sonny leave and Frank walks around the perimeter of the building. Eddie Fiori emerges in the form of a wolf. He turns human and warns Frank to back off.

Meanwhile, Julian goes to a correctional facility where he finds that his "niece" Sasha has been thrown in jail. She was arrested for hitting an undercover police officer whom she found hassling a young woman. Julian bails her out and invites her to stay with him at his mansion.

At the police station, Internal Affairs investigators are brought in to question Frank on the murder of Paulie Boyle. Frank is livid at the notion that the department would actually suspect him of murder. None of them truly believe that Frank had anything to do with Paulie's death and the questions are but a matter of formality. After his meeting with I.A., Lieutenant Kwan sends him out to get some dirt on Fiori.

At Julian's mansion, they come upon the young rebel Cash. Cash is now the head of Julian's security team, replacing his late sire Stevie Ray Sasha takes an immediate interest in Cash, but Julian warns that his niece is "off-limits".

Julian goes to The Haven and meets with Toreador Primogen Lillie Langtry as well as an investigative reporter named Caitlin Byrne. Caitlin works for the San Francisco Times and wants to write an article on Julian entitled "The Most Powerful Man You Never Met". Her investigations into his background however have hit a wall, since there is no evidence on record that Julian even exists; no birth certificate, no property deeds, no voter registration card, etc. Julian promises that he will give Caitlin a full interview, but with a few of his own provisos; The meeting will be held at a restaurant of her choosing; he is free to not answer any question he chooses; on questions that he does answer, he is then allowed to ask her a personal questions, which she must agree to answer. Caitlin agrees to the conditions and leaves.

The next day, Frank Kohanek goes to a diner in the early morning hours. Julian Luna arrives and Frank is surprised to see him in the sunlight. Julian tells him that vampires can venture out into the day so long as they have fed. Frank still hates Julian Luna, but an uneasy truce develops between them as they realize that they also share a common problem - Eddie Fiori. Julian offers Frank his assistance, saying that he has Kindred in the police department that could force the Internal Affairs department to ease up on him. Frank declines and says that if Julian really wanted to help, he would help him nail Eddie Fiori.

Frank leaves to do some research on the Kindred. He finds an old textbook, which speaks of vampires and the nature of their abilities. He shows it to Sonny who scoffs and thinks that it is all nonsense. One of the powers described in the text is the ability of a vampire to learn the history of an object simply by touching it. This intrigues Frank who ponders the notion of using Kindred to help capture Kindred.

Julian goes to Mankzino's Restaurant where he meets with Caitlin. They begin the interview, and Caitlin asks him he is in fact that mobster that everyone believes him to be. Julian denies the allegation, then asks Caitlin how long it's been since she had a lover for more than one night. Caitlin at first refuses to answer, but relents and says that it has been quite some time. He then asks her about her childhood and how old she was when she first became emotionally detached. This upsets Caitlin and she tells him that the interview is over. Hoping to smooth over her frustration, Julian hands her an obviously falsified birth certificate. Caitlin takes it and leaves.
