Some sort of private eyes?

Count Morté:
This is bullshit.
Riccardo::
What, the job, or about our employer.
Count Morté:
Both, We’re alpha predators. Not house-sitters.
Riccardo:
Speaking of sitting, your thrall is taking her own sweet time.
Count Morté:
Don’t you worry about her. I’ve broken her of attempting to run off.
Riccardo:
She’s scared of her own shadow..More trouble than she’s worth. You should just drain her dry and snap her neck, as a mercy.
Count Morté:
Remember New Orleans? That bitch has mortal friends.
My thrall is my “day shift.” She’s more valuable to me than you are. And if you panic her, I just might stake you out to greet the sunrise.

Huh??? Could someone explain this? I’m missing something.
Reference to now dead webcomic called scandalsheet, see this old story arc for crossover… https://www.tmi-comic.com/comic/its-a-date/
The vampire has friends, mortals, that are willing to protect her, and/or act against her enemies during the day, when vampires are the most vulnerable.
Try Lady Banshee https://www.tmi-comic.com/comic/2014-04-10/
I wonder who hired these delightful delinquents….
That would be Lady Banshee (or rather golem Regina, acting on her behalf).
She’s a little depressed at having to resort to using losers like this, the most disappointing variety of vampire her kind ever created. Described by her as “arrogant, obsessive, impulsive, psychotic and unnecessarily brutal” and who consequently “Inspired the vampire-hunter movement”.
She describes the Dilmun criminal as a “lunatic”, which coming from her says something. Said lunatic is apparently still orbiting Venus as punishment… Possibly without the comfort of a ship.
hmmm, they sound like some kind of vampire mercs or hit men, tho will have to wait to see how story line goes. i wonder who the thrall is, it feels like a character we may already know.
Yeah, was thinking that as well…
But what female character do we have that’s afraid of her own shadow? I can’t think of a one. The only one I can think of that isn’t strong and fearless most of the time is Officer Friendly out of uniform, and I don’t see her as a thrall unless something’s going on recently off camera.

2 pages in 2 days!!!?!
I hope this is more than just a “fluke”.
Fingers-crossed, that this portends an upward-trend in your health, Good Sir!
I don’t remember the name but the “dark crystal” alien (reformated to look human) said something about sending “vampires” to watch Ace I think. These are probably those guys
These are probably some of the vampires Lady Banshee hired. And what DMC_Run said. Hope things are going well Andy!
stay safe and well Andy
All praise the dark gods of Aelfheim, Andy is BACK!
Okay… I am out of the loop. Last I remember it was the Afterlife Office scene. Come back and new setting, looking forward to see where this is going.
Andy – it is good to see that you are updating again. I hope this means that your health is getting better.
New Orleans? Someone not quite mortal? Why do I think we’re going to see Rocky’s mother soon…?
@[Mitch]:
I’m not ruling it out, but my suspicion is that it’s more likely to be Lady Banshee.

If you were thinking of Mami Wata, she’s Rocky’s grandmother, & she’s “locked away” with “Deuce” for the better part of a century-or-more.

We’ve heard a lot about Emmie, (AKA: Rocky’s mom), but we’ve never actually SEEN her, & at-present almost everyone believes her to be dead, except for Jim, her last husband.

If I was to try for a really “out there” sort of guess, I’d vote for these 2 guys:

I’m so happy you’re feeling well enough to do Comics again
