APB: Police are searching for two Caucasian men and one female in relation to a stabbing in Morning Glory Park, Sunday night. Suspects are considered armed and dangerous.
-Attached is a grainy photo of Eric, Everly, and Vincent approaching the supply trailer.- -- NPC Isabelle: The Harpy was sitting at her desk, eyes narrowed as she slipped her fingers together...watching the door to her office. Hours before she had sent a message out to the four neonates she had given this very simple task, telling them to meet here ASAP. She was dressed in her best, wanting to look intimidating...despite the giant anime poster collection hovering behind her. A black vest over a white shirt, black slacks, and shoes. She'd even worn a tie! She'd frown at the first to enter. "Have a seat, now." |

A man of average height with a black jacket and a rather fetching bowler hat was the first to enter the door to this rather "interesting" little office. This man seemed very determined not to let such a sour person ruin his day. In fact, he seemed even more chipper than normal as he entered the door, no doubt to the chargin of the one sitting before him. He took off his hat and sat down laying back fairly casually on the chair, trying to smile enough as to appear confident and dominant while holding back enough so as to not have another blood hunt called.
As he sat he couldn't help but notice the anime poster collection on the wall behind the frowning harpy. This made it considerably easier for Vincent to maintain his smile, almost too wide, though internally he was puzzled as to why the harpy would contradict her irritated and authoritative demeanour with such blatant eccentricity. What game was she playing at?
He steepled his hands and leaned forward.
"So I suppose I'm here because of a certain photo?"

Isabelle seemed quite stone cold for who she was, but naturally, she was trying not to let on her nature. A unnecessary breath is drawn before giving a tart smile back, "So you do pay attention..."
She'd lower her hands to the desk, her bright blue eyes searching his face. "Lucky for you... this APB was only shown to US. But I now owe a VERY hefty boon to one Anna Robinson..."
She'd simply squint at him. "Why didn't you check for cameras?"

Jake entered and managed to keep a straight face at the order which sounded more confrontational than he was used to. He was usually the abrasive one. This new town suited him quite well however and it would not do to make enemies of powerful players just at the start, so he did as he was told and took a seat. He did require some explanation however and so he ventured a short question.
"Ma'am?"

As he realised the nature of the meeting, Jake quickly added.
"I would like to point out ma'am that I was unable to join the hunt this time, by the time I was free the hunt was over. I do however agree that being seen was rather careless."

Vincent had been caught out. It was rather embarrassing that he had been so sloppy on one of his first missions. That said, he thought he had a way to smooth things over.
"A fair point. I hadn't considered a park to have had any significant security, especially around a simple trailer, for which I can only apologise for my sloppiness. That being said, I have some pull of my own within the Police and the Media of this city. You could've asked me to simply clean up my mistake if you wanted. I certainly wouldn't have charged so highly. You need only call me, and I'll pull the strings of fate for you."
*Vincent leans back, maintaining a soft smile, and looks up at the anime posters*
*His Head snaps to Jake upon the intrusion*

Jake glared at Vincent. "Pulling strings is all well and good, so long as it does not leave a trail. This is why I introduced myself to the prince as a detective within the police. That is my position and it gives me great opportunity to take care of minor comeuppance like evidence that needs to go missing or the occasional investigation that requires misleading."

"Anna has been in my coterie for some time, luckily for us she works in the morgue... which leads to my next point, ah, Jake! Have a seat."
She'd then listen to them both, and shook her head. "Anyway, there's more... there was a witness, someone saw. Anna used her ghouls inside to get his statement off record, but he... he saw you three break from the shadows."
The blonde would fidget slightly, "The prince wants him... the prince wants that covered up, that is what I need from you now. Either alter his memories or end him, we can't have a breach."
Another breath before finishing, "Take Everly with you two...Eric has been contacted already with the details, our primogen was displeased..."

An audible sigh left Vincent's face as he rested a palm in his face.
"Christ almighty what's with so many people in these bloody parks? Hmph, well, I unfortunately as of right now lack the power to alter memories on a whim... Hmmm... Who in this city would however? I'd prefer to not be causing disappearances on my first week here, and I don't want to cause chain and effect investigations here, even with our wide array of safety nets."
Vincent took another forced breath before continuing
"Well, I'll see what I can do. I have the two individuals the Prince wanted staked and ready to be delivered upon any desired time and location."

When they got outside Jake sighed and looked at Vincent.
"Your mess, how do you want to deal with this? We can get rid of the witness or simply work to discredit it. It should not be difficult, eyewitness accounts are notoriously unreliable. How to proceed is up to you."
He didn't show it but Jake secretly enjoyed it. Fighting and hunting was of course the best, but watching those who deserved it squirm a bit, that could also count as a lot of fun.

"Hmmm, better to discredit someone off the records than have them disappear, being an investigator I'm sure you're aware of how small details and odd occurrences can cause people to ask questions. It's also the more merciful option, for what it's worth."

The harpy listens to them both, shrugging. "For now, I'm putting my faith back in you...I can change minds, but you'll have to bring him to ME. I can take care of him, after that... but you'll have to do some work under Anna, this would repay my debt to her."

"Perfect, we're all set then. We bring this unfortunate soul to you, you replace any unwarranted thoughts, and get this nasty little black spot on our records removed. Speaking of which, any leads on where to find this lovely young individual? I might be able to find them myself but if you have any leads it would be most sincerely appreciated. I might even forget you're little incident on the TV..."
*Vincent gives a hearty chuckle, seemingly amused by his own reference*

Jake shook his head. He'd never truly been one for jokes, and cracking fun at a superior when she was graciously getting you out of trouble... This guy would be trouble, he was sure of that. In stead of saying anything though, he picked up his phone and contacted the station.
"This is Detective Yuki, officer number 3072. Would you give me the name and address of the witness in the park murder from last night please. I would also like to formally request the case since I have dealt with similar ones in New York all too often. Thank you."

"You'd be surprised just how many people go missing on a daily basis... "
Eric had stepped into the office just behind Isabelle, walked just behind the desk and put his back to the wall, slightly off to the side from where she now sat. This entire time as the other two entered and spoke back and forth, he watched and he listened but didn't speak nor did he react, other than to take out a small notepad and pencil to take some idle notes. As Jake was busy texting, he decided that now was the time to reveal himself.
"What Isabelle did with the television is hardly an incident... since only the people in this room saw it. She 'gained access', illegally or otherwise, to the nearest cable receiver to the Global Positioning Signal located in our cell phones. By accessing the audio input or camera, she was able to verify that we were alone, and broadcast directly to us."
He then paused and turned his cold unblinking eyes to the harpy. His voice cold, calm, and emotionless.
"Isn't that right, Miss Hale?"
A pause would be given, one long enough for her to respond. He had assumed that this is how she did it, though he honestly had no idea just how she pulled it off, but he had seen something like that done in a movie once... Then he turned to look over the other two.
"As far as locating our stray... I believe I can be of some assistance there."
