"Who did I smell on my little cop?" Alucard asked Integra as the crowd that Seras had brought disintegrated.

"No one of importance. We've got to get back to where we're staying. I will have to do another meeting with that creep." She sighed.

Alucard's eyes narrowed behind his glasses. But for now, he let it be.

It didn't last long however, and as night fell, he sought out Walter back at Hellsing HQ.

"You're up late, Walter." Alucard's deep voice called out from the shadows of the study.

"Hehe... Because it's like that outside." He noted the sinister feeling.

"Is Integra sleeping?"

"She retired some time ago."

Alucard moved onto the topic he truly wanted to discuss. Or at least, one of them.

"Did you hear?" He inquired.

"Yeah, I did." Walter confirmed. "I never thought it would be the Nazis... To think the names of people dead so many years ago would come up..."

"Heh, really. I've had a feeling about it for a while. That feeling... that gloom... is something I have felt before."

"Oh? How?" Walter asked.

"How? You ask me how? 'Shinigami'? There are only three reasons the 'undead' would be used in combat. One is you guys, one is them and one is me. And the experimental undead unit they used 50 years ago was completely destroyed. You and I killed them all." Alucard explained.

"...You're right, you're right, I remember now. Alucard." He shook his head.

"It's a terrible thing to be 'aging'."

"Hn... us English can enjoy 'aging'." Walter snapped back. "Alucard, we're going to be sending you to South America as soon as possible. It's not that we completely trust the 13th chapter of the Vaticans, but we don't have enough information and we're running out of choices."

"The reason the English are on the decline is because they are like that."

"We would reject being prosperous but without pride." Walter stated. "There are two essential personnel, you and Seras. I suppose the rest will be the newcomers who are practicing outside."

"Just taking them will be bothersome. I'll just use them as messengers."

"Oh, but I think they're doing quite well. Although I'm a little worried about their instructor."

"Really? I'm worried about the police girl. Haven't you noticed something peculiar about her?" Alucard's lips curled up in a sinister smile.

"Many things. Which are you referring to?" Walter's face stayed stoic. He had an inkling of where this was headed and had already received a briefing from Integra not to reveal anything.

"She provides hefty resistance for long trips. Even short trips, she always returns with a different smell about her just as we are about to leave. As if she has a task she must perform before she leaves. One no one else may join her on... She even tries to venture out in the evening, as if the sun's partial rays might deter me." He chuckled. "Where does she travel to? Do you know?"

"I'm afraid that is Miss Seras' business, and I am not interested in it." Walter stated. "You will have to inquire yourself if it really piques your own interests."

"I think... it might..." He rubbed his chin.
