You will learn of such a backstory when youtalk to Joe Creelman at the Fire Station, and he tasks you with searching for his brother, who was abducted before the Vampires even began their takeover of the town. He is supposedly involved with some of the Cultists now, and Joe is asking you to find him.

Complete The Mission
Fortunately, this is as simple a mission as they come, and you will start by making your way to the Creelman House, which sitssouth of the Fire Station in the Sedgewick neighborhood. Head on down to where your map is pointing you, and look out for any Cultists or Vampires that are patrolling the area.
When you reach the house, head inside, and you will start to hear the voice of Joe’s brother calling for help, saying that he is stuck in some kind of barrel. You will see an open door leading to the basement, but for now,take a moment to loot everythingon the main floor and above, as you won’t be coming back up very soon.

When you have looted to your heart’s content, head down into the basement and look to your right tosee the door behind which Joe’s brother’s voice is coming from. Open the door and begin to back away immediately, as this whole thing is a trap. As you open the door, you will see a bunch of explosive barrels rigged to explode as the door opens, and the voice seemingly being a recording.
Backing up will save you from taking damage from the explosion, and once it goes off, there will be Cultists coming in to take you out. They will be swarming in from upstairs, and you can fight your way out that way, or you can go to the other side of the stairs from the trap door, andyou will see a barricaded doorthat can be opened from this side.
Run over and open the door, leading you right outside the house where you’re able to take out a couple of enemies out here or just run past them. Either way, you have tohead back to the Fire Station and tell Joe what happened. He takes it surprisingly well, given that you learned nothing about the status of his brother. You’ll get 800 XP and a Firefighter costume piece as a reward.
