Today's Topic........Interview with the Detective who met the Vampires......Detective Frank Hebert


 me:   I am interviewing Detective Frank Hebert of the New Orleans Police Department today. 
Welcome to my blog, Detective Hebert. Thank you so much for spending some of your time with us. I know that you are a very busy man. 

Det. Hebert : Thank you, Mrs. Smith, I am not sure exactly what you want me to say here today.  I am usually the one asking the questions. 

me:   Don't worry, Detective, We are not here to get involved any  active case.  I just want to know how it felt to be working with Aaron Grayson recently and to see if you had any comments on his being a Vampire.  Were you surprised  to find out that Vampires really do exist?  Were you afraid?  Did you feel threatened?

Det. Hebert:  Well,  no, I was not really afraid.....but..... I  was surprised  when he told me about his true nature but  there are still a lot of people that don't believe in Vampires.  I mean, New Orleans is a freaky kind of place ...in a good way....On any given night, I am liable to meet people that tell me they are vampires.  I have hauled in people that told me they were everybody from Jesus Christ to Lady Gaga.....You just never know what you will find  in NOLA.  That is just the way it is. 

me:  Are you saying that you don't believe that Mr. Grayson is a REAL Vampire? 

  Personal note.....Detective Hebert looks uncomfortable and was  running his hands over his buzz cut hair and back again in a nervous way.  

Det. Hebert:  No, now I didn't say that.  Mr. Grayson and his friends are good folks.  I would not want to cause them any problems, if you know what I mean.  They helped me with a  bad situation with that tall blond  red-eyed dude that was killing  people and I am grateful. Ya, know?  There is no way I could have done what they were able to do and  they  probably saved half our police force.  That guy was mean and was stronger than any human I ever saw before. 

me:  Did you tell your wife and your collegues at work about  your experiences?  I mean, it had to be a pretty exciting adventure.  You not only met several of our local vampires, but you got to watch as they  took down a Rogue Vampire  as a group.  That just had to be scary.... How could you not tell someone?

Det. Hebert:    ummmm....no....I didn't mention my "adventure" as you called it to anyone.  I really don't want  Mr. Grayson to  have to deal with that.  He and his friends just want to live and let live.  they all have their jobs and I  don't want to bring any undue attention to them, ya know?  In  fact.......I am thinking that I don't want to talk about that anymore.   Okay?  

I asked if he would like a cup of coffee and he nodded his head.  My assistant, brought in a tray and poured him a cup of coffee and watched as he  took the first sip.   He smiled and nodded his head.  That makes my assistant happy.  She is quite proud of her coffee. 

me:   Well,  now, that is better......How is your family?  You have a wife and son, if I remember correctly?

Det. Hebert.  Yes, my wife Yolanda and I are doing fine.  We  bought a little house of our own and  we are expecting a  baby soon.  The doctor says it is gonna be a girl  I am real excited about being a daddy again.  Frank Junior is excited about his new little sister coming too. 

me:   Well then I am very happy for all of you too.  It sounds like things are going well.   Do you ever drop by to see Mr. Grayson and his friends since the " incident"? 

Det. Hebert:  Yes,  I do.  I enjoy having a cup of coffee with Aaron  once in a while and sometimes his friends do drop by at the same time.  They are good people.   Look, I thank you for the coffee and now I need to get back to the office.  I have a ton of paperwork to fill out, ya know?  

me: Okay then......I do thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.  I wish you and your family well. 

personal note........after the mic was off, Detective Hebert told me that he didn't want me making an issue out of the Vampire thing.  I tried to play dumb.  He raised one eybrow and did that thing with running his hand over his head again.  He said that if I were to make a big deal out of Mr. Grayson and his friends being Vampires, it could end up like the old movies.  He does not want  those good folks being run out of town  because of their nature.  He said they have done nothing  to cause trouble and  I should  do the same.  I guess that means I can't  use his interview on the air.  well, Damn!    Maybe I can get hold of that guy from Butte La Rose and see what kind of stories he will tell me........I understand he met a man from another world......That might be interesting too..........HMPH!........
