The Plot Thickens (Karen)
Fifteen hours after the Chicago PD responded to an incident at a warehouse on the pier, Detective Lynch is contacted by Seargeant Griswold, who ended up working overtime and was the first to respond when the call came in.

When she arrives, the police have shut down one of the main roads headed out of town and the reason is quickly apparent; off the side of the road, there is a burned out husk of a vehicle, a black 1967 Chevy Impala. There are scorch and burn marks on the vehicle where it hasn't been smashed or crushed beyond repair. On the ground, two bodies lie underneath sheets, and the Crime Scene Investigators are taking photos of the trunk, where there is a third body.

Sergeant Griswold approaches Lynch when she arrives.

"I'm startin' to think it might be time for me to hang it up, Detective." he says wearily, nodding to the crime scene.

The Following Night at Fangtasia

2011-06-20 02:55 am UTC (link)

Matt Walker steps into the vampire bar called Fangtasia (who the hell named this place?) and looks around until he finds the person he's seeking.

He does his best to ignore 1) that Jace Everett's "Bad Things" is playing. 2) That it really does feel like the air went out of the room, because the place is dead silent (pun intended) 3) That if he didn't need Michelle's help right now, he'd be hunting most of the patrons in here right now.

Matt's killed at least four vampires a night since making his demand that vampires leave Chicago. He's pretty sure a few of these guys know who he is and wouldn't mind settling the score.

Rather than dwell on those things, he walks on up to the bar and sits down in front of Michelle.

"Hey, I need to talk to you, in private." Matt says.

	And to think, she was beginning to think the madness had, at least, receded back to "hypnotize and drink from fangbanger" levels. But this was clearly a sign that it had not. "All right," she said. "I get off in ten." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Take your time. I can wait." he says, looking about at the bung of fangsters around him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It was actually closer to twenty. Between a sudden influx of norms and a brief argument over tips with a serving girl, Michelle was ready for her shift to be over when she was able to talk to Matt again. "All right," she said. "Let's find somewhere private." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Outside will do. I'll cover the privacy bit." Matt says, standing up from his chair and turning to head outside. Of course, this would be about the time that one of the vamps in the bar decides to get brave...or stupid. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey, Michelle. Don't go anywhere with this asshole. You know what he does to our kind?" the guy, Rick, asks. Rick is a regular and might be a little sweet on Michelle. "You mess with her, Wizard, and I'll fuckin' drink you dry." Rick says, baring his fangs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Michelle bared her fangs in return. "Unclench, Rick," she snarled. "I'm a big girl. He tries anything, he'll be waking up a few pints short." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Hey, people? /He/ is standing right here. Michelle, you're on my very short approved list. In fact, you're the lone entry. Rick here is about three seconds, and the wizard means, THREE SECONDS, from finding out if he really does sparkle in sunlight like Edward Cullen." Matt says, staring the vampire down.

"But in the interest of not getting your ashes all over Michelle's new Coach handbag, I'm gonna suggest she walk out first so I can follow her. Be cool and I'll take the evening off." Matt grins.

Rick snarls again, but he moves aside, as he really doesn't want to risk the run in with the wizard. The guy was either very stupid or very powerful to chance coming into a den full of vampires and talking trash.

Rick wanted to believe it was the former, but seven dead friends of his indicate that the latter might have something to do with it.

"I see you soon, Wizard." he says.

"You better hope not, Rick." Matt says as he walks out with Michelle.

	Michelle just rolled her eyes as they left. "Rick's not too bad once you get to know him. For a vampire, anyway. Some of the vamps... kinda feel sorry for me, on account of not quite being one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't take that crap from them, Michelle. They're parasites that rarely, if ever, give back to the people they're taking from." Matt says. "You're not quite one of them, which means you're still human and able to feel bad about what you have to do. Guys like Rick think everyone is a walking Happy Meal that lives only for their enjoyment." Matt says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You'd be surprised how many of them are just people who got turned by accident and who don't know what else to do," Michelle said, but she let it drop. She didn't much like most of them to begin with, but she'd started seeing another side. "Most of them though? Yeah, they're fuckers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, what I need to ask you for doesn't require you to deal with any vampires. Just need you to keep watch on an apartment for me without letting the person who owns it see you. In return, I'll pay you for your time." Matt says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: The Following Night at Fangtasia bite_me 2011-06-26 03:02 am UTC (link)
	Okay, that got her attention. "What's going on?" she asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"You're probably going to hear about it on the news, but don't go sharing this with anyone else. That movie star that's been in town lately? His name is Austin Caine, and he's got connections to two different murder scenes in less than twelve hours. One scene was a cult ritual. The other is a bad bit of business with the Hell's Angels." Matt explains.

"Now, Caine's vanished, no sign of him. I need to go out of town, but someone needs to watch his place in case he comes back. If he does, call me or Karen and we'll come round him up.

You get paid and no more weirdness until the next time I have to come in." Matt smiles.

	"...Shit," Michelle growled, at the explanation. "Yeah, all right," she said. There might have been a small smile. "I can do that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: The Following Night at Fangtasia this_fire_burns 2011-06-27 12:13 am UTC (link)
	"Hey, Michelle, thank you for doing this. I appreciate it." Matt says. "Again, don't take any chances. We're not sure what this guy knows about anything...and he could be trouble. Be careful, please." Matt tells her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: The Following Night at Fangtasia bite_me 2011-06-27 12:41 am UTC (link)
	"I will," she said. "Stealth and me? Like this." She managed another smile. "I appreciate the trust." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can see you're trying, Michelle. You're not like other vampires. Hold on to that, because that's what separates you from them." Matt says. "I don't expect to be out of town long, but I'll call you tomorrow to check in. You don't answer, I send someone to look for you." Matt says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: The Following Night at Fangtasia bite_me 2011-06-27 10:11 pm UTC (link)
	"Got it," she says, with a small nod. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: The Following Night at Fangtasia this_fire_burns 2011-06-27 11:56 pm UTC (link)
	Matt also hands her $200. "That's half up-front." Matt says. "I'll only need you for a couple of nights, if you can swing it. Either Caine will show or he won't. You get paid either way." If Michelle has nothing else, Matt will turn to go. (Reply to this)(Parent)
