((hmmm I'm feeling uncertain about this. I wish I knew if she was a plot point. ))

Call Harry, ask if anything needs investigating today, join him if the answer is yes. Before departing, get name of doctor taking charge of her, and leave my cellphone number with a request that they, or she, call me if she wakes up. Make it plain that I will be back to check on her later.

If Harry doesn't need/want me, hang around for a while to see if she regains consciousness.

"Hey man, there's someone being h-hurt in there! I'm going to go see what's up."

((Sort of sparse :\.))

((Awright, I can post now. Weekends are tricky and I didn't want to start anything without Gilg))

Harry folded up his newspaper.

"We're going to have a chat with a Vamp who might know something. He was...involved in a disappearance. Not sure if directly. But, hopefully we can get some information from him."

Upon receiving a call from Carter, he asked about the girl-glad she was safe, or close enough-and informed him where they were going.

"If you come around, Carter, be careful. Maybe hang back-watch my back. If you hear trouble, come running. Okay? I don't need you getting hurt."

Action: Go to question Josh Trae. Bring all my crazy friends-Carter should hang back and watch for trouble, if he wants to.

"Well, if you need anything stolen, I'm your man. I'm not good in a fight though if things get messy. Warning you now."

Follow Dwarmin. Look menacing.

[Dwarmin]

"Let's get to it."

Harry leads the way out-careful to engage his heavy locks and alarm system on the way-to the parking garage.

His car is nothing special, a somewhat battered black suv with tinted windows. The interior is quite messy-which is odd, considering Harry's house seems so neat as to be unlived in. It seems anything involved with his work, however, quickly becomes cluttered beyond belief. One notes the cigarette lighter has been removed, however. A police scanner is located under the dash, in a haze of semi-legality. He turns it on, and it's low mutter (mostly sleepy cops) quickly becomes static background noise.

He opens the passenger side door for Rick, using a free hand to brush a litter of paper cups and fast food wrappers to the floor, from the passenger seat.

"Sure Harry, I'm done here for now. Paper Street should be on your way. I can be there in a few minutes and ride over with you?"

Carter finishes talking to the doctor and leaves the clinic. Walking a block over to meet Harry.

A few minutes later as they approach Josh Trae's residence he speaks up. "This is good, let me out here. I'll walk this last bit so I'm not with you two. A lot of Vamps don't work alone. He might call his gang as soon as a stranger knocks on his door. I'll text you with a headcount of any suspicious parties that show up. I will not engage them in any way unless threatened. If you get in trouble make some noise."

Enter the apartment building a minute or two after Harry and Rick. Park myself in the lobby with a view of the street entrance and the stairs. Look innocent and bored.

Btw my parang is a fairly compact one. It rides harnessed diagonally across my back. The tip is over my left shoulder blade, the handle near my right hip. I'm wearing a short loose jacket which covers a lot of the bulges. Probably unless I'm viewed from behind while moving quickly it's not at all obvious that I basically have a shortsword.

Here's a similar setup with a smaller blade.


Carter was much impressed by Harry's stories of Vamps fighting for some time after being shot multiple times in the torso. This seemed to rule out stabbing instruments as an effective defense. So he put his faith in the concept that nothing fights well when it's missing limbs, superpowers or not.
