A Land of Sun and Sand:
Egypt is not all uninhabited desert. Along the Nile, the land is lush. There are large cities, such as Cairo and Alexandria. There is much more to the land than simply yellow sand and pyramids.

This is not one of those places.

The sun is blisteringly hot, pounding down on the sandy earth. Stuck in the middle of nowhere, this pyramid is easy to overlook. It is not especially pursued by archeologists. It is not easily accessible to tourists. It is, in short, an excellent place for someone to hide out. One would practically need the coordinates of the site just to locate it.

Coordinates which are now in the hands of a small group of people investigating an evil cult...

	"I'm not particularly afraid of traps or Dracula. I say we get some stakes, gather up our skills, and kick some undead ass. They dropped a body in my apartment. I am not okay with this or anything else they've done." Shelly looked at everyone. "I say we go tonight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Michelle hesitated. "I'm all for this. These guys tried to kill me. But if we're going to be doing any heavy action... I kind of... need to... feed, first." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Matt didn't like the of letting a vampire feed, but Michelle was asking to do so at the least. "Well, we've got a cop here, so I'd suggest not going all the way if you can manage it. Does anyone else need to get anything before we go to Vitae?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“I’m going to need to call this in,” Lynch said talking about the murder. “After I take care I’ll join you guys.” She really did not like the thought of breaking rules and laws but was willing to bend them if necessary. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Hurry up and call while Michelle eats. Or call on the way. We're going as a group or we aren't going. I know there's a dead body on my couch, but I think we're as a group a bit more equipped for Dracula than the CPD. Generally speaking." Shelly didn't like the idea of cops showing up at her apartment right now. It was going to significantly complicate her being able to help with Vitae. In fact, it would impede it entirely.

"Lynch you can't call the cops at the moment. We all need to be on this and if you bring the fuzz over here, I'm stuck here indefinitely. I don't know about you but I think this is an all hands on deck type of thing tonight and if Drac's people are killing folks and dumping the near-dead in living rooms, gods only know what he's got going at Vitae. Or what other nefarious things are going on. We should get over there, figure out what the hell is going on and THEN deal with the dead body in my living room."

Matt looks to Lynch, a note of hesitation in his expression.

"Lynch...Shelly's right. If you call the cops in on this, it could give us away before we even get close. All that, and now that all of have seen the body, they'll want to question us. You know she didn't do it, but going by the book on this is only going to slow us down." Matt says.

"Give it four hours before you call in the cops. Hopefully, we can have Dracula dealt with in that time frame." he implores.

	Damn it, they had a point. “Fine I’ll wait to make the call,” She said. It was very easy to tell she was not happy about it but if it meant the chance of possible saving more lives she would do it. “Don’t make me regret this.” If they did well it wouldn't end nicely.

	"I'll... catch something on the way then," Michelle said. (Reply to this)(Parent)
