(Scarlett MacAleister)
Scarlett watched the meeting at the docks from her safe vantage point in the cab of one of the big cranes used to load freight onto ships. She used a camera with a zoom lens and night vision to photograph Goro and the men he was meeting with. Watching them through the lens, she suspected the older Hispanic man in the black hat to be one of her kind...vampires could often recognize one another from the way they moved, and if she'd been closer, she would have been able to have smelled him.
The young man with the man in black seemed unusual, but she could not peg him as a vampire. He was something else, not human, but something. The redhead made sure to get photos of each man. The minions with them looked to be human...foot soldiers for whomever they worked for.
Scarlett could tell Nakamura didn't look too happy when the meeting ended, he had a look of fear on his face. She'd seen that look after their fight at the Glass Menagerie. When the other group left in their vehicles, Scarlett exited the crane and ran from the marina to her bike, which was parked nearby. She hoped on and fired it up, then sped through a nearby parking lot until she merged a ways behind the line of vehicles. At a distance, she followed them as they headed into the city...
(Kitty)
As Kitty's feet hit the ground from the last part of the fire escape on the Sabbat and she was trying to decide what do to next her pager went off in her jacket pocket.? "Really, tonight." She said as she pulled it out and recognized the numbers that were on the dial.? She only carried the pager for one reason, so that the Midnight Society could get in touch with her.? She hated cell phones as she was a free spirit.? With a resounding, surrendering sigh she put the pager into her pocket and headed for the tallest building in town.? In the basement was the Midnight Society's head quarters.? She wondered what was so important that they had to call her in.

[Luke]
Luke woke from a dream. He only remembered bits and pieces. He saw the police cruiser tossed in the air like candy and crumple around the tree with a terrible crunch. His boat met a similar fate and that was what got him to his feet.
He stepped out of the small cabin on board the Divine Pleasure. The bright sun made him squint. Three men were chatting it up with Tiger. She lounged in one of the aft fishing chairs looking great as usual.?
“Hey skip, you sleep much? It’s like after 2!”
“Enough, Luke said, his voice rough. You guys getting any fish?”
A chorus of positive words came from the three of them.?
“Keep at it then, we head back in an hour.”?
Luke pulled his phone and called the hospital. After a short conversation he smiled at Tiger, “Maggie’s going to be okay.”
“Sweet. You are the man, skipper.”
“I do the best I can.”
The dream came back to him and he dialed Jones.
“What up?”
“You hear about Tad?”
“Yeah, ain’t that a bitch.”
“He was murdered,” Luke said.
“News ain’t saying that. Said he cracked up his cruiser.”
“Did he do it airborne or slam it sideways against a tree?”
“Oh shit.”
“Jones, do me a favor and contact your people. Find out what you can.”
“厂耻谤别.”
“Will you reach out to the ‘nights?”
“I sure as hell won’t,” Jones said angrily.
“It’s for Tad. I’m not letting this slide.”
“Shit man, okay. No promises.”
“Thanks. Call me as soon as you hear something.”
Luke hung up the Sat phone and looked out into the Gulf. He was going to get dirty on this one, he felt it in the waves under his feet.
They were docked back at the Marina before Luke heard back.
“I hear Emma wants to see you.” Jones sounded mollified.?
“At the Henderson Mansion?”
“Yeah, out on Culvert, you know.”
“Okay, thanks Jones. Hang loose, I may need you real quick.”
“I’m just waiting to get my hands on someone responsible.”
“Get your hardcore crew together Jones. I’ll call you on the when and where.”
Luke looked at Tiger who was doing to clean up around the boat.?
“Can you finish up here?”
“I gotchu boss.”
Luke fired up his old pickup and spun the tires getting out of the parking lot. The last place he wanted to go was vamp central. That was just where he was headed.

(New Scarlett MacAleister)
Scarlett finished her surveillance of the Los Muertos group who had been down to the docks meeting with Nakamura and she made note of the estate where they had driven to. She drove off, not wanting to spend much time in the area, just in case the vampire and his crew had taken notice of her. As the rode away into the night, Scarlett recalled she was supposed to acknowledge the Midnight Society's request that she pay them a visit. ? It was a quarter to midnight. Perfect timing, she thought as she rode toward their meeting place. Best to get this over, she thought.
Scarlett rode her bike up to the building that served as the organization's headquarters, a high rise office building in downtown Raconteur. She stopped in front of the building and stepped off the bike, leaving it parked as she walked inside to meet with the organization of vampires. At the front doors, she was let in by a security guard. She immediately made him as a human, likely some sort of servant to the Midnight Society. As she appeared, Scarlett noticed three more guard materialize out of the shadow in the lobby.
Dressed in her black leather bodysuit, guns under her long coat as well as her wakazashi, the guards immediately took notice of her and approached cautiously.? "Can I help you." "I'm invited," she said. "Name," the guard at the counter asked. "Scarlett." He nodded, "These gentlemen will take you upstairs. But first, your weapons." The redhead smiled, "Really? You think I'm going up there, to a room filled with vampires, unarmed?"
The guard grimaced. He reached over and picked up a phone, placing a call. He spoke to someone on the other end and explained that "Ms. MacAleister refuses to come up there unarmed." Someone replied and the guard set down the phone, "Fine. But there will be many armed guards up there. You are advised to...behave yourself." "When haven't I behaved," she smirked. "Come on boys, let's go see the VIPS in the penthouse." She led them to the elevator and the three got inside with her. She stood and waited with the men surrounding her as the elevator rose through the building....

(Scarlett MacAleister)
Scarlett
finished her surveillance of the Los Muertos group who had
been down to the docks meeting with Nakamura and she made
note of the estate where they had driven to. She drove off,
not wanting to spend much time in the area, just in case the
vampire and his crew had taken notice of her. As the rode
away into the night, Scarlett recalled she was supposed to
acknowledge the Midnight Society's request that she pay them
a visit.
It
was a quarter to midnight. Perfect timing, she thought as
she rode toward their meeting place. Best to get this over,
she thought.
Scarlett
rode her bike up to the building that served as the
organization's headquarters, a high rise office building in
downtown Raconteur. She stopped in front of the building and
stepped off the bike, leaving it parked as she walked inside
to meet with the organization of vampires. At the front
doors, she was let in by a security guard. She immediately
made him as a human, likely some sort of servant to the
Midnight Society. As she appeared, Scarlett noticed three
more guard materialize out of the shadow in the lobby.
Dressed
in her black leather bodysuit, guns under her long coat as
well as her wakazashi, the guards immediately took notice of
her and approached cautiously.?
"Can I help you."
"I'm invited," she said.
"Name," the guard at the
counter asked.
"Scarlett."
He nodded, "These
gentlemen will take you downstairs. But first,
your weapons."
The redhead smiled,
"Really? You think I'm going in there, to a room
filled with vampires, unarmed?"
The guard grimaced. He reached over and picked up
a phone, placing a call. He spoke to someone on
the other end and explained that "Ms. MacAleister
refuses to come there unarmed."
Someone replied and the
guard set down the phone, "Fine. But there will be
many armed guards there. You are advised
to...behave yourself."
"When haven't I
behaved," she smirked. "Come on boys, let's go see
the VIPS in the basement."
She led them to the
elevator and the three got inside with her. She
stood and waited with the men surrounding her as
the elevator dropped through the building.
(Kitty/Prince Dario)
Kitty had arrived just before 11:00 and was
changed into more appropriate attire for Prince
Dario.? She didn't care much for the current
prince, but she wasn't one to try her hand at
being a leader either.? She was dressed in a short
black mini skirt, black halter top with small
waist length leather jacket.? On her legs were
dark blue fish net stockings and a pair of Mary
Janes.? She preferred to be dressed in more
vibrant fun colors and outfit, but this prince
liked his people to be more subdued.? She walked
into his large meeting hall and there he sat in
his big leather arm chair like he was the king of
Egypt.? With a smile, "Good evening, Prince
Dario.? To what do I owe the sudden summons?"
Prince
Dario sat in his arm chair with a glass of fresh
red blood in his hand.? He was looking over some
papers in the other.? He was trying to figure out
if the rumors about the local murders was true.?
He was a young looking vampire, but was actually
an ancient.? He liked things very old school.? He
had shoulder length black hair, green eyes and
very pale skin.? He generally dressed in attire
from the 1800s as that was when he was embraced.?
He tolerated Kitty wearing her mini skirts as long
as they weren't over vibrant in color.? He put the
papers down when he heard the door open.
"Good
evening, Kitty.? I am glad that you came so
quickly.? Yes, Ms. Scarlett MacAleister is back in
town and has yet to come and see me.? I want
you to find out why..." just then the phone
rang. "....Oh, really....well, then please
escort as she is....thank you."? He put the
phone down.? "Well, it seems that she had
decided to make an appearance after all.?
Please go out and wait for her."
With a smile and
the gladness that she didn't have to go and search
for this woman whom she had heard a lot about over
the years, she said, "gladly," and left the room to
meet Ms. Scarlett as she came off of the elevator in
the lobby area of the basement.
_._,_._,_
Luke was two blocks from the marina when Jones called him.?
“Now what?”?
“Eh, forgot to tell you. Those...things want you there late,” The ‘Were sounded tense.
“In fact maybe this isn’t a good idea.”
“You told me that in the last phone call. Thanks for the update. How late is this meeting?”
“惭颈诲苍颈驳丑迟.”
“Oh great, the witching hour,” Luke muttered.
“I should come with you,” Jones said with some trepidation.?
“Forget that. Just take care of Tiger if I never come back.”
“Right, call me later,” Jones said then hung up.
Luke pulled over and stopped his pickup. He had some time to burn. He climbed out of the old pickup and headed back to the marina on foot. He found a good location for spying and sat down to look out onto the parking lot and his boat. He watched and waited.?
An hour later Tiger made her way ashore and walked out of the parking lot. She was likely headed home. It wasn’t that far a walk.?
Luke had seen no one of interest or anything unusual.? He considered that a good thing. Two people he’d known in his life, one a dear friend were now both very dead. The first murder was a hidious slashing of Billy Wright. A boy Luke had known from high school. Of late he’d been a small time drug dealer. Nothing special until he’d wound up dead.?
The murder of Charlie Talman had been a terrible blow. He’d been a good friend and he knew his wife and kids well.?
Luke snapped his fingers. He knew just what he had to do.
He approached the old two story home in Glade Park. Luke knocked on the door.
A woman, dark hair and in her forties looked at him with blurry eyes.
“Oh Luke,” she cried. She hugged him in the doorway, her head against his chest. He could feel fresh tears on his shirt. Cindy squeezed him tight.
“I’m so sorry.”
She finally released him and they both went inside.?
“Luke,” Monica was waiting. She had a large lump in her belly. She also hugged him.
“Daddy,” she whispered.
“I know.”
Monica was Charlie’s old Daughter and was very pregnant. She had the same gleam in her eye she got from her father.
“I just wanted to stop by. See if there was anything I could do.”
“Being here is a big help,” Cindy said. “Now you must stay for dinner...”
Luke stayed late at old Charlie’s place. They watched an old movie and looked at old photos. It was a difficult time but they all needed something to do that made it all not seem pointless.
He said his goodbyes and promised to come back, to keep in touch. He said he would. He was looking forward to that new baby.
He sat in his truck for a long time. Then he started it up and went on down town. It was time to get some answers.
He parked his truck in front of the towering building. There was no name affixed to the complex but everyone in town called it the Dark Tower.
Dressed in jeans, loafers and a Hawaiian shirt Luke took the elevator down one flight to the LL level. The LL level he thought sounded like how he was feeling. As low as you could go.
Another guard greeted him. “I was invited.”
“You are?” The man looked coldly at Luke or maybe it was his attire.
“Luke Reardon.”

(Old Scarlett MacAleister) Scarlett finished her surveillance of the Los Muertos group who had been down to the docks meeting with Nakamura and she made note of the estate where they had driven to. She drove off, not wanting to spend much time in the area, just in case the vampire and his crew had taken notice of her. As the rode away into the night, Scarlett recalled she was supposed to acknowledge the Midnight Society's request that she pay them a visit. It was a quarter to midnight. Perfect timing, she thought as she rode toward their meeting place. Best to get this over, she thought.
Scarlett rode her bike up to the building that served as the organization's headquarters, a high rise office building in downtown Raconteur. She stopped in front of the building and stepped off the bike, leaving it parked as she walked inside to meet with the organization of vampires. At the front doors, she was let in by a security guard. She immediately made him as a human, likely some sort of servant to the Midnight Society. As she appeared, Scarlett noticed three more guard materialize out of the shadow in the lobby.
Dressed in her black leather bodysuit, guns under her long coat as well as her wakazashi, the guards immediately took notice of her and approached cautiously.? "Can I help you." "I'm invited," she said. "Name," the guard at the counter asked. "Scarlett." He nodded, "These gentlemen will take you downstairs. But first, your weapons." The redhead smiled, "Really? You think I'm going in there, to a room filled with vampires, unarmed?"
The guard grimaced. He reached over and picked up a phone, placing a call. He spoke to someone on the other end and explained that "Ms. MacAleister refuses to come there unarmed." Someone replied and the guard set down the phone, "Fine. But there will be many armed guards there. You are advised to...behave yourself." "When haven't I behaved," she smirked. "Come on boys, let's go see the VIPS in the basement." She led them to the elevator and the three got inside with her. She stood and waited with the men surrounding her as the elevator dropped through the building.
(Old Kitty/Prince Dario)
Kitty had arrived just before 11:00 and was changed into more appropriate attire for Prince Dario.? She didn't care much for the current prince, but she wasn't one to try her hand at being a leader either.? She was dressed in a short black mini skirt, black halter top with small waist length leather jacket.? On her legs were dark blue fish net stockings and a pair of Mary Janes.? She preferred to be dressed in more vibrant fun colors and outfit, but this prince liked his people to be more subdued.? She walked into his large meeting hall and there he sat in his big leather arm chair like he was the king of Egypt.? With a smile, "Good evening, Prince Dario.? To what do I owe the sudden summons?"
Prince Dario sat in his arm chair with a glass of fresh red blood in his hand.? He was looking over some papers in the other.? He was trying to figure out if the rumors about the local murders was true.? He was a young looking vampire, but was actually an ancient.? He liked things very old school.? He had shoulder length black hair, green eyes and very pale skin.? He generally dressed in attire from the 1800s as that was when he was embraced.? He tolerated Kitty wearing her mini skirts as long as they weren't over vibrant in color.? He put the papers down when he heard the door open. "Good evening, Kitty.? I am glad that you came so quickly.? Yes, Ms. Scarlett?MacAleister is back in town and has yet to come and see me.? I want you to find out why..." just then the phone rang. "....Oh, really....well, then please escort as she is....thank you."? He put the phone down.? "Well, it seems that she had decided to make an appearance after all.? Please go out and wait for her."
With a smile and the gladness that she didn't have to go and search for this woman whom she had heard a lot about over the years, she said, "gladly," and left the room to meet Ms. Scarlett as she came off of the elevator in the lobby area of the basement.

Luke was two blocks from the marina when Jones called him.? “Now what?”? “Eh, forgot to tell you. Those...things want you there late,” The ‘Were sounded tense. “In fact maybe this isn’t a good idea.” “You told me that in the last phone call. Thanks for the update. How late is this meeting?” “惭颈诲苍颈驳丑迟.” “Oh great, the witching hour,” Luke muttered. “I should come with you,” Jones said with some trepidation.? “Forget that. Just take care of Tiger if I never come back.” “Right, call me later,” Jones said then hung up. Luke pulled over and stopped his pickup. He had some time to burn. He climbed out of the old pickup and headed back to the marina on foot. He found a good location for spying and sat down to look out onto the parking lot and his boat. He watched and waited.? An hour later Tiger made her way ashore and walked out of the parking lot. She was likely headed home. It wasn’t that far a walk.? Luke had seen no one of interest or anything unusual.? He considered that a good thing. Two people he’d known in his life, one a dear friend were now both very dead. The first murder was a hidious slashing of Billy Wright. A boy Luke had known from high school. Of late he’d been a small time drug dealer. Nothing special until he’d wound up dead.? The murder of Charlie Talman had been a terrible blow. He’d been a good friend and he knew his wife and kids well.? Luke snapped his fingers. He knew just what he had to do. He approached the old two story home in Glade Park. Luke knocked on the door. A woman, dark hair and in her forties looked at him with blurry eyes. “Oh Luke,” she cried. She hugged him in the doorway, her head against his chest. He could feel fresh tears on his shirt. Cindy squeezed him tight. “I’m so sorry.” She finally released him and they both went inside.? “Luke,” Monica was waiting. She had a large lump in her belly. She also hugged him. “Daddy,” she whispered. “I know.” Monica was Charlie’s old Daughter and was very pregnant. She had the same gleam in her eye she got from her father. “I just wanted to stop by.

(New Scarlett MacAleister)
Scarlett remained silent, as did the guards, as they escorted her down the elevator into the sub-level of the building. When the lift stopped, the doors slid open and Scarlett stepped out into the lobby, her eyes, ears and sense of smell all tuned in to detect anything out of the ordinary. She confirmed the presence of a girl by her scent a moment before she stepped out the doors, confirming once she saw her that she was indeed a vampire as well. The redhead, dressed in a black leather bodysuit and longcoat, stood there and looked around, her eyes then training on Kitty. "You must be the welcoming party?"

Luke felt the elevator activate as the soles of his boat shoes felt lightly. Then his gut gave him that little queasy feeling as he descended. It didn’t last long as the elevator came to a stop. The light above the door went green and on the panel to the side pinged LL.?
The door slowly opened and he stepped through into a wide but short antechamber. He recognized the redhead from Eddie’s BBQ. The shorter vampire he did not. They seemed to come in all sizes apparently.
“Luke Reardon at your service,” he said with gentle sarcasm.
