-William replies, "I don't think so, not in comparison to three vampires." The others cry out, "Wait, what?" Leta demands, "Where did you get one extra?" while Anita asks, //"Was there a BOGO sale?//" William explains, "We knew two of them, but I just found out yesterday that there is a third. I assumed you were all still asleep yesterday, so I didn't bother telling anyone." Anita retorts, //"I was working!"// It is now about 2:00 o'clock in the afternoon, and the hunters discuss and debate the threats that face them. They have vampires, Helen, [[wod:characters:black], a dead True Fae, and dead Swiss Guardsmen. Leta adds, "And a dead sister! Who's working for the dead True Fae." Anita interjects, //"Do we list the family downstairs as one unit or separately?"// Josh's eyes glaze over in avoidance.+William replies, "I don't think so, not in comparison to three vampires."

 William states, "We need to face threat in front of us, which I believe is the vampires. That's what we need to focus on right now." Josh adds, "We're not in a good position to deal with [[wod:characters:sethic|Sethic]] right now, even though I think he is the greatest threat. I'm not sure we're in good shape to take on vampires either, but Grandad's right about that; they're the immediate threat." Anita concurs, //"I think the vampires are the most immediate threat, but I fully admit I'm overwhelmed by our list. Remember, we also have [[wod:characters:samir|Samir]] and the [[wod:characters:groups:ascending|Ascending Ones]] to work with and prevent war with the [[wod:characters:groups:akd|Aegis Kai Doru]]. I feel like we botched all this."// William states, "We need to face threat in front of us, which I believe is the vampires. That's what we need to focus on right now."

 Davidson frowns but shrugs. They moved to a table in the far corner, and Davidson tells William, "You're buying the next round." William agrees, so Davidson signals for two more beers and then lowers his voice to explain. He says, "Lee Gordon? Despite everything, he's a good cop, he just didn't get any help after Iraq. No resources, you know?" William nods knowingly, and Davidson mutters, "Right, your ex-military too, aren't you? You know exactly what I'm talking about." William nods again but says nothing. Davidson frowns but shrugs. They moved to a table in the far corner, and Davidson tells William, "You're buying the next round."

-Davidson explains, "Gordon wanted to check out the mini gun. That's way heavy artillery for some smuggling group to have, you know? Hell, that's too much even for cops." William agrees, so Davidson continues, "So he gets the four of us together and we head down to the airport to cover him. We get there and there's no noise, no one visible. We instinctively slipped into silent operations, you know? Hand signals and the whole like. Didn't make a sound. We headed onto the property, and then found the three staties who were supposed to be on duty being drained by vampires! Like I saw [[wod:characters:elisa|this one vampire who I swear was just like a college student]]. There was also some [[wod:characters:monseigneur|whack-job, Phantom of the Opera reject in a domino mask]]. However, the one that really stuck in my mind is this woman in a medieval type dress. You know what I mean? Sometimes you see people at Renaissance fairs wearing these things, but that wasn't like that. The one she was wearing was real, the genuine article. One look at her, and you knew she was centuries old. Christ on the cross, she's older than the United States of America! Anyway, so they are popping people and drinking blood when we show up. They see us and then all of a sudden, they are on top of us. Especially the woman in the dress? You didn't see her move. She was in one space and then she was several feet away. Despite this, I got the impression that Top Hat McGee was the one in charge."+Davidson explains, "Gordon wanted to check out the mini gun.

 Davidson falls silent for a few minutes as he nurses his beer, and then he says softly, "Then the wolves showed up. These things come in howling, but I swear to Christ on the cross, [[wod:characters:cain|the one with the pink stripe]] stopped to pet Graham on the head! The vampires bolt, as quick as they can. Lady in the dress is just gone, super-speed and the like. Top Hat McGee suddenly explodes into a group of bats and flies away! I know how that sounds, but I swear to Christ on the cross, that is the truth. The college chick just runs, and the wolves go chasing after her." Davidson falls silent for a few minutes as he nurses his beer, and then he says softly, "Then the wolves showed up.
