Peace and order Part 1

Uriel was taken aback when he saw the current state of the ranger's headquarters. He expected to see the modern building realized in reinforced alloy and glass panes like most skyscrapers, but he found instead a rundown version of an apartment building instead. And if the building looked ruinous on the outside, the inside was even worse as it resembled the interior of the shabbiest cantina Uriel had ever seen. If anything, the only silver lining was that everyone wore cowboy hats which meant his Fedora did not stand out in the crowd.

"Times are hard for us rangers..." Charlie said in an apologetic tone.

"No kidding, but why is that?"

"Well, for one, no one but the sick and the dying wants to join us and the only reason they do it is because I can turn them into vampires." Charlie sighed.

"So, they willingly become cryptids to avoid death," Uriel nodded then followed with a question. "why the cowboy hats?"
