Phone: Personal - Night of Rave Slaughter

[youronlylaw]

[Ring ring Coward. Someone has a few questions for you.]

[occultdisciple]

[It takes only a few moments for the phone to be answered.]

Coward.

[Anyone calling at this hour? Probably isn't calling for social reasons.]

[youronlylaw]

[He doesn't start with anything as trite as 'tell me you didn't know about this'. The way he explains is almost clinical, if not for the faint shake of his voice.]

Vampires attacked a rave tonight, I just picked up one of the survivors. This isn't going to go over well.

[He can't get much more information out of Skip. Truthfully he's hoping Coward can fill him in on the details. And now for the cliche:] Did you know this was going to happen?

[occultdisciple]

[For several moments, Coward is silent. However, a sharp ear might hear faint clicking in the background.]

A rave. Do you know where?

[A question, he hopes, that answers James's. Because he is not going to dignify that with a response.]

[youronlylaw]

[Well, it'll do for now.]

No. I picked her up at a park -- Kilburn. She couldn't have gone far from the place, I'm trying to get more out of her but she's in shock.

['So who knows how long that'll take']

[occultdisciple]

[Kilburn.

Well, that makes it easier to focus his search. Because he's pulling up anything official that might be recorded as well as social media. Thank God for CCTV and young adults who can't stand to not let the world know what they're doing.]

Whatever happened, it wasn't Islington. In any official way.

[Because the culprits might have been part of the Nest, but Millicent wasn't this sloppy. Which this was.]

Thank you for letting me know. Gives me time to prepare for the press tomorrow.

[Because while that might not be a primary concern for anyone, it still mattered to him. He had to address this for the public. Terrorist attack, obviously. It was the right kind of event. And from there... he'd organize with the Guardians.]

[youronlylaw]

Good.

[It was a relief to hear at least. Millicent was an ever looming shadow but he didn't think she had ever been so aggressive before. This would have meant taking action against Islington publicly - whether Coward would still be an ally at that point was uncertain.

Just over the phone he hears the clicking of a keyboard and - if Coward was anything like him, he'd be going to CCTV to figure things out further.]

The girl was covered in blood, if that makes her easier to spot on the cameras.

When you figure out where she came from, would you send me the address? I need to look for my people, and she isn't telling me anything useful.

[occultdisciple]

Of course.

[About three hours later, a different phone number texts. Better for a police officer to use an untraceable phone for passing along this information.]

South Kentish Town Station.

[youronlylaw]

[He doesn't reply to the message, but instead texts the first number originally contacted.]

I'll let you know what I find.
