For Barir:<br/>The coroner shakes his head. "Unfortunately, no. The only bite marks are at her throat and neck, and they appear to be human or kindred in origin. Based on the lack of blood, I can only say that the blood was not at the crime scene or in the body. Based on my autopsy, no other flesh was taken. All organs were present."<br/><br/>Sheriff Reyes thanks the coroner and they leave the morgue.<br/><br/><strong>"So you're thinking this may have been something other than a kindred, like some different sort of were-creature? It's possible. They do exist, although they're not as common as werewolves in this part of the world. Let's check out the park, then."</strong>Sheriff Reyes leads Barir out of the City Morgue out to her black SUV. Using the remote on her keyring to unlock the doors, she gets into the driver's seat. When Barir opens the passenger's door, he sees that in the back of her SUV are two large German Shepherds. Barir recognizes them as the Sheriff's ghouled dogs that she occasionally uses for the purposes of tracking or for combat.<br/><br/>After about half an hour of driving, they are back at the park. The Sheriff opens the door to the backseat and lets the dogs out, and they immediately begin sniffing around the area and barking.<br/><strong>"Lead the way to where you were when you called me and I'll have them track from there,"</strong>Sheriff Reyes says.<br/><br/>For Sebastian:<br/>Helena nods, still occasionally glancing out the window on the path to the Tremere Chantry.<strong>"There will come a time when we may be quite happy to antagonize the Prince and provoke <em>him</em> into making a mistake. That night is not here yet, though."</strong>Helena has not kept it a secret from Sebastian that she plans to be Prince eventually, but it is understandably not something that he is to discuss with others.<strong>"There are still preparations that need to be made."</strong><br/><br/>The limousine pulls onto the road on which the Octagon House sits, the Tremere Chantry, and Helena lowers the privacy window between the back of the limo and the driver.<strong>"Just drop us off in front and park in the garage,"</strong>Helena says. When the driver stops in front of the Chantry, Helena exits the limousine.<br/><br/>For Ingrid:<br/>Cohn shrugs.<strong>"It has been confirmed as much as is necessary. Kindred who try to investigate Vitel or his enterprises almost never have success, and more often than not they wind up painting a target on their own backs. It's not sloppiness on our part as much as it is discretion. Still, a team of elite bodyguard ghouls would obviously be useful as long as you could avoid letting word get out that you have them. If that happens, the Prince will probably assume that you're planning to move against him, and his response may...lack subtlety,"</strong>Cohn says.<strong>"As long as Helena allows it and you can gather the resources and keep it hidden until you need to use it, it could be worth the trouble."</strong>
