Summary

In "Badge of Horror," vampire detective Angelo Dubois patrols the supernatural underbelly of New Orleans while hiding his true nature from his human colleagues. When a string of ritualistic murders points to the ancient vampire Sapphira—who turned Angelo centuries ago—he partners with Andrea Deveraux, a powerful witch with her own connection to Sapphira. As they investigate the murders, Angelo and Andrea develop feelings for each other despite the historical animosity between vampires and witches. Their forbidden romance intensifies as they uncover Sapphira's plot to consolidate power through blood magic and child sacrifices. With allies including Captain Rhemann (secretly a vampire himself) and the enigmatic witch Lenore, they challenge Sapphira's tyrannical rule over supernatural New Orleans, culminating in an epic magical confrontation that reshapes the city's supernatural hierarchy and leads to Angelo and Andrea's engagement—setting the stage for the sequel.

    Lancelot Alexander Jnr was at the crossroads of being awake and falling asleep as his partner in his stage magic act Dreams and Nightmares, Zac was about to put him into the zigzag man apparatus during an evening performance. 
    "Hey, sleepy head wakes up," said Zac sensing Lance was tired. 
    "I'm so tired," Lance said, "I'll try to stay awake." 
    "I don't want to hurt you," said Zac. 
    "I don't want to be hurt either," said Lance climbing into the box. 
    The moment he went into the box he fell asleep mentally. 
    He awoke screaming when Zac inserted the first blade. 
    It startled and worried Zac. 
    "Bring the curtains down," Zac shouted and the curtains fell. 
    One stage ran a gaggle of backstage staff. 
    "Are you alright, Jnr?" asked Zac. 
    "I'm fine, I just had a vision,'' said Lance. 
    "Oh what did you see?" asked Zac. 
    A man with 3 eyes killing a woman in a dreamlike place," said Lance looking traumatized as he was being released from the stage trick by stagehands. 
    "Tell the audience the show is over, Kel," Zac told the stage manager. 
    "Ok," said the stage manager sensing a problem. 
    "Come with me, Jnr," said Zac making a wormhole appear in front of them they stepped into it.
