Frank works vaguely for The Department of Homeland Security and is part of a South-West Counter-Terrorism group. Officially, the group handles anyone or anything that could potentially be terrorist-related. Unofficially and in Supernatural circles, the group picks up any crimes that might be Supernatural and ensures that there is no hint of the supernatural.<br/><br/>Taryn is Frank's go-to Imp to clean up crime scenes Frank doesn't want to be investigated. Let's say Frank owes Taryn a debt.<br/>Frank helped Even with getting some legal paperwork for Danielle. We'll say that Evan owes Frank a Debt. In this case, it's related to Danielle's two debts to Evan for providing a place to stay.<br/><br/><hr/>As Taryn is getting set up for the evening in his bar. He received a Text Message:<br/>Frank: Clean-up Needed. I need your personal attention. <GPS Coordinates><br/><br/>As Evan and Danielle were sitting down for dinner, Evan's phone buzzed with a text message.<br/>Frank: Gotta Problem. Come and bring that Woo-Woo Lady of yours. <GPS Coordinates><br/><br/>The GPS coordinates took both groups outside of Las Vegas Suburbs and into the high hills. Darkness has fallen, and the two-lane road appears to be going nowhere. However, the GPS coordinates led to a police cruiser with its light on, parked next to a large sign proclaiming, "Wanda's Fish Farm - Every Bite is Magical." The police officer checks their Driver's Licenses against a list before. Waving them on,<strong>"Follow the road up past the House and to the Industrial Buildings. Someone will meet you there."</strong>The group followed the directions to be met by a person in plain clothes, although they had a DHS badge on a lanyard, who directed where to park. There were several vehicles already parked there.<br/><br/>The scene was a curious mix of pastoral and industrial. Small ponds are crafted to fit into the environment with trees and shrubs planted around them, mixed with concrete ponds. Similarly, a beautiful wooden building appeared to be a combination of a restaurant and shop that hid several concrete structures. Four harsh industrial lights highlighted the crime scene. Someone had staked out a woman in the desert. However, it was not a mortal woman. In death, her glamour had disappeared to reveal gills and a blue-tinged skin. As well as slight webbing between fingers and toes.<br/><br/>Frank McDonagh approached the group. His clothes were wrinkled, and his face had stubble. It appeared to have been a long day for Frank, and a lot was still to be done. Frank looked at Taryn and then pointed at the body on the ground,<strong>"The body is the simple part of this mess. Most of the staff here are either Supernaturals or illegal aliens. No one is gonna raise a fuss."</strong>Frank point to some etching on a rock face above the body.<strong>"Evan, can you tell me what that means? I think it is Fae."</strong>and then he looked at Tayrn,<strong>"Once he's translated it. I need you to turn it into some random satanic graffiti. We're gonna write this one off as some satanic ritual."</strong>Frank sighed<strong>"That way, if the idiot does this again, we can deflect.</strong><br/><br/>Evan looked at the etching. He went pale and gulped, muttering<strong>"The rumors are true."</strong>Then Evan turned to the others.<strong>"Like many Fae communications, it's cryptic and relies on other knowledge. The literal translation is - Bow to Shadows, or see your fate."</strong><br/><br/>Evan walked up to the etching and sniffed,<strong>"Blood, likely the Naiad's blood, is soaked into the rock. Implying that death is your fate if you avoid the first portion of the statement. In terms of Bow to Shadows, this statement relies on what was until now a rumor. The rumor that a Fae, self-titled Lord of Shadows and Blood, has come, or been exiled, to the mortal realm."</strong><br/><br/>Evan sighed and shook his head,<strong>"Those of us in Las Vegas have bitter memories of the Fae Courts, where the more powerful brutally subjugated the weaker. I fear whoever did this intends to establish a court here in Las Vegas."</strong><br/><br/>Evan gave Danielle a sad look,<strong>"My father is a mercenary, always seeing people as assets rather than humans. It was why he took you in."</strong>Evan started to reach out to Danielle, but his arm stopped in mid-reach,<strong>"I wish I could say that I'm better than my father. However, the grim truth is that there will be a lot of misery, suffering, and death, even more, if this Lord of Shadows and Blood succeeds. We could use your help."</strong><br/><br/>Frank smiled at Danielle,<strong>"He's right. Mortal or not, gangsters follow a pattern when taking over new territory - Kill the old, terrorize the innocent. Your boyfriend probably already has a target pasted on his back."</strong>Frank got serious.<strong>"The CSI folks have been over the scene with a fine tooth comb. We got bupkis for clues - not even a footprint. So either you can give us something to go on, or we're waiting until this guy strikes again."</strong>
