"Our kiss is a bit more ..cooperative then your seem to be when we noticed the symptoms we aked them their opinion and they had us bring them a few to turn it seemed to work the others were to far gone and we had bodies dropping"
She shrugged at him and in that answer she had kept another promise Gates anonymity had been protected because he still seemed to be staying out of it and they had tried the things she said but Gates info had sealed the deal for her at least as to what two main ways of handling this there seemed to be."We also were going to try and give them pure to heal them of the addiction but not turn them all the way but no one in the kiss would sire them in and the church of malcolm is now defunct."
That she was secretly happy over the vampire zealots were almost worse then the human ones.She knew he'd broken a rule of his dropping the act/" if you ever get tired of being a good ole boy we could use you up north..but you'd need long underwear"
There shed offered the olive branch and they were still friends.

Del nodded his understanding though he wasn’t sure that was the entire truth. "I always think it must be nice having a nice new Master. One with everything to lose and everything to gain. Is it true he gave up one city just to get a chance to run the Church of Eternal light out of the place? Always thought that was a bit petty cool but petty." He didn’t like the implications. Someone had tried to heal a dread plague by potentially starting another one. No wonder Gates bent his rule of talking to RPIT but gave an unequivocal no all the same. He just wished the old gator had at least given him something to work with. He hadn’t and that was what was niggling him Gates had this public image of helping the city at all costs. Yet Del couldn’t find a helpful message in his resounding well spoken No.
Thinking out loud as he drove back to the house he asked what he could “So ya think if we were to reachout to the Church out ther6e in the swamp where a few of them go you think we could get some help from them to stop things from get worse."
He was grasping at straws while thinking of a way to solve the mess that the doc had sat on his plate. He was of a mind to attempt two birds one stone he just needed a big enough rock and as they passed the corner girls scurrying out of sight a thought hit him.

She contemplated problem was it was highly addictive you had to be physically unable most times to not be trying to get more if they could ne rounded up sorted for level of addiction then perhaps some could be detoxed others sired and others put down."couldn't hurt but Del seriously if they cannot be saved or sired they will have to be killed and thats going to be the hard sell to brass. We are supposed to protect mostly human life but life. You will need to get him to understand that in a way they are dead already "
That would be the tough part especially if the user was well known and well liked. "You mentioned baton rouge has any one gone in to see why no contact?"
She knew why but wanted to give him the chance to catch on if he hadn't

Del nodded fully forming the idea that had bumped and stuck in his head. It wouldn’t take more than a little misdirection and purposeful police ineptness. Technically the testing of the ladies of the night at Estelle’s was a health department issue but if what he found out was true it would fall under RPIT due to the mystical nature of the complaint. It would also dovetail with Eric as on record he was attacked by a lion while in the commission of an indecency crime. One thing tying together and some ignorance should be just the ticket. It was one of the few times he not only counted on jurisdictional redtape he was hoping it was even more thorough than usual. Everyone would trip over themselves to force Estelle into owing their department a favor all the while tying the noose tight enough about her and Eric’s neck that neither one would have any hope of escaping without ratting out the other.
"Yeah that will make it easy for them to say no. Ya know the boys upstairs wanted to enlist deputized vampires as a way to fight it. They are under de impression a little vampire mojo should be all they need to stay in office forever. Went to the big man in the kiss on the low and he said no. Lots of speechifying but in the end he said no to the hell no."
As they were just a few minutes form the conference hall Del eased to a crawl hoping to get a little more information from Monica before she went to be a good visiting cop and he went to do a bad thing greatly. "Baton always been a tough nut ta crack they kinda hate that the Yat has a better image despite being a whole lot poorer. Lately though they been absolutely rude no information in or out dey holding their cards so tight the Queen of diamonds is wearing cubics."

" You know if we doubt the state of a place the fbi can declare emergency and w can go in with force they cant keep us out especially as it might have been compromised with the path of this drug."
She let that stew and noticed he slowed some."and even tho you got a no im sure if you showed the head muckety muck the need for this solution like there is no other he might be reasonable..or maybe Im just a woman who knows i normally get what I want"
She shrugged and was done with it for now he had picked her brain and now she wanted to shop an just veg out listening to cop news. What he did from here on out was him less he invited her along specifically. She would also have plausible deniability if he did do something stupid after he left her because she would be in a convention hall full of cops as an alibi.
Phone beeping it was her partner asking where she was seems some one ha actually let him out of ny and hed been looking for her. Texting him back that she would be there soon traffic.

"That sort of static would be a good reason to not last we need is ta give the feebies a bigger head than they got already. And Baton would never let anybody that did get such a thing started forget it." AS they eased to the curb Del had to admit the idea was tempting but first this battle then the other. He could leave Baton for later so long as they were on a lockdown nothing was getting in or out and if there was an epidemic going on that’d be one hell of a town to attempt to keep under the radar. Too much power to take head on anyways.
Pulling his head out of itself he smiled at Monica’s joke. Gates was a luster sure but he doubted the vampire would just roll over and give it up for the detective without something to show for it. That’s the way it was with the vampires as far as he could tell. They gave only as good as they got. "Women usually do maybe that’s why I can’t say no to your pretty face."
Hopping out he made his way around the car and opened her door. Not out of any gentility but so as to make it easy to steal a hug. He could use one. He was about to set off a bomb and didn’t know which way the wind was blowing for sure. Either way he knew he would be covered in the fallout for a while. Especially if the heads of the department really investigated he’d get a censure at the least. Not everyone could be as well appreciated and commended as Monica. He could appreciate that and would do what he could to make sure she was as clear as he could make her. She’d be sure to catch an eye form some as she was one of the few he communicated with.

She laughed softly and winked"I know how to play good cop sexy cop better than you sorry"
That was bull but he'd laugh so it was worth it. He was right bout the feebs but sometimes you had to bend over and take it to save a life or hundreds. When he opened her door she got out and hugging him tight but no tears she refused to be girly.
Sighed letting him go and stepping away" stay as much out if trouble as you can Del but if you find your self pinned in and won't no one else come for you..I will and thats a promise "
She nodded started walking in spotted her partner and jogged to him. Looking over her shoulder to him once more with a wave like the child you we were sending to camp.

He looked at his phone as she was pulling up in a matte black challenger that to passers by would look like nothing special. The tags said that it was a police car but it counted just barely. Riding as low as it was he was sure it was armored and loaded with other features. The man behind the wheel looked more like a model than a cop but as he got out Gregory was able to see just how cop like he was. His eyes flitted over the crowd sizing everyone up even as he seemed to be only after one thing. His passenger. Gregory couldn’t help but be a little possessive Monica was the only partner he’d had that had stuck. This southern lothario obviously had her attention he wanted to make sure the guys intentions were if not pure at least not detrimental.
As she closed he waited slipping his phone and hands into his pockets. Smiling as it came easier than frowning he chimed in with a joke. "That your contact here? No wonder you were in such a hurry to get going. Its true we going to be regaled by Marshall Blake?" He liked what he’d seen of the city but it was overall too quiet for him. Except last night he’d heard screams and a lot more form his hotel window but he fought the urge to go play anybody’s hero as he was a guest in the city.

She looked at him then back at del then at him and laughed"del?really? Nah he is one of my connects but also a good friend we've known each other for years."
That was cute that thing hed done and she smiled more then nodded"indeed she is going to be here I have been wondering which guys she brought, one year it was Nathanel and all the women lost their mind well except me hes cute n all but not my taste"
Was weird to be talking to him like this"so the holster booth are they sold out yet?"
There work was much safer conversation and boy did she have things to tell him. "Lets talk and walk"

Matthew just smiled as she denied that there was something between them. He wouldn’t push it if she wasn’t able to admit it that was fine. But he knew she hadn’t flown down when she was scheduled to. She hadn’t checked into the room she was assigned. She hadn’t even been at the hotel where all of the out of towners were staying. He was sure she’d tell him all about her special arrangements in due time but it was harder than anyone would know not asking not probing. It was what he did he was a cop so.
"Del as in Delaine Vincent one of the youngest LT’s in RPIT? You are not serious right now?" He said laughing at she so offhandedly used a pet name for her friendship. The fact that both of them were on a fast track for other things besides just RPIT she could be so blind at times.
As mentioned two things he addressed them in reverse order.
"They were sold out before they even opened you know everybody wants that hot newness even if it means a couple of months of chafing or worse. But they were smart they were assigning numbers. Too bad you were out working your local sources." He raised a brow looking at her as if she were bad and needed punishing. He couldn’t hold a straight face and just started laughing. Pulling out the plastic Chits with 18 and 19 on them he held them up for her to see as they walked.
“Lucky you got a partner worth a damn and he got here early."
His big shit eating grin was bright and open even as he and half the cops noticed the suited rent a feds set up a perimeter. It was within ordinance but he knew they weren’t Feds. The feds wouldn’t have been within a hundred yards of this pace right now it would cause all sorts of problems. That was a matter for the locals to deal with but it chafed him all the same. "Uhm as for your type what is your type I bet you like those muscled sensitive pretty boys like that actor Kai Tiburon from Magic Mike. You can admit you like the swirl I won’t hold it against you."

"Yes that del"
She hadnt thought of it that way that he out ranked her now,man. She shrugged then crest fallen about the holsters until he produced the chips her eyes lit up and she squealed like a little girl literally hugging him quick" Oh yes you are the best partner ever in life Im a lucky girl."
Walking toward the booth and then hearing him she laughed." Oh yes hes a sexy sexy bit of candy momma like"
She made jungle cat noises being totally absurd about it but inside it was strange that he couldn't be further from the truth and if she hadn't been with Sam she might consider Mat but inter office romance was frowned on so deeply so maybe it was for the best. For now tho they had this and she bounced along beside him to the holster maker. then the phone on her hip vibrated it was a text from del. Shed been right about estelle but something big had happened. That had been fast he had only been gone like ten minutes at the most right?
Soon the whispers began as it had come over the radio about the bust at chat noir.

Matthew did his best to ignore the creeping dread that shivered up his spine as phones all over the conference began lighting up vibrating and a few dinosaurs even had pagers. He read the crow even as he slipped his phone from its holster and read the BOLO that came through. He raised a brow as he looked over the name again. Grace Estelle Dedier he wasn’t slow and knew that she was a local Madame of note and someone who even had officers in her pocketbook. "Your boy is fast. And I think those rent a feds are here for you."
He cleared the draw on his holster out of habit not that he would draw down on anyone here but one had to be prepared. As the suited men moved in towards her he interjected himself between Monica and the men. They were coming a little too hot and heavy. Ignoring the fact that they were in a conference with seven to eight hundred duly sworn officers and contractors.
"Gentlemen something I can do for you?"
The lead man stopped sizing up Matthew and looking towards Monica. She wasn’t the primary but in light of the Primary having disappeared they were under strict terms to do whatever was necessary to protect her. The cops swarming all over town meant that something was going on and it was big. The intelligence leaked to them mentioned a health risk and that meant they had to step up their presence. At least until they could confirm the location and whereabouts of the primary.
“Ma’am we’ve orders to increase our presence in light of the potential outbreak.”

Monica was listening to Mat but then he stepped between her and the men and she quirked a brow her own hand at her gun till she recognized the lead man and inwardly groaned. If she could melt into the floor she would have because there would be all sort of back lash from this and she could feel it. They were Samuels men and if they were here where in the f was he?
She cleared her throat" outbreak? what the heck do you mean and where's..your boss"
She was hoping they were smarter then they seemed because she didn't want to be outed here of all places and dammit she wanted to box samuels ears for this because she knew they wouldn't be here if he wasn't off doing something potentially dangerous alone. She frowned. " Fine you can keep an eye but I'm literally surrounded by cops with guns so Im safe."
Face palm she looked to Mat like whatta ya gonna do? Then she texted Samuel furiously a sort coded message and tried to walk a few paces without looking conspicuous her little entourage following. She felt her face flaming and looked around at everything but them and Mat. Someone please shoot her now. When her phone beeped that she had a message and read it then growled softly but went to the leader on tip toe whispering the kill phrase. That made them nod and fall out. They left and she was left with mat looking sheepish.

Matt watched a little taken back by the men and their insistence on protecting Monica in a hall full of cops. He would definitely ask about her having a group of clearly ex-military contractors at her beck and call. Right now he pretended as it were just another day. He shrugged as a few of the detectives looked questions at him. He’d never betray Monica’s secrets even if he knew what they were.
As her phone went off he saw a visible sigh of relief escape her as she stepped to the lead guy. Whatever she said had them nod and file out as silent as they entered. The balls on those guys were unbelievable. He did notice that while they left they did stay in a loose perimeter around the conference. He waited until they’d left before speaking to Monica.
"I wasn’t gonna mention how you hadn’t let superstardom go to your head but I guess maybe a little huh. Those guys…" Matt started then stopped as a few more details started filtering through the wire. “ So uh nevermind about them you can tell me later but whats up with this Estelle chick you think its true she’s knowingly being a lycanthrope typhoid mary?”

She was so relieved when they left and when he started to ask she put her guard up but then he switched direction." I dont know but if so its an auto death sentence, those poor girls I wonder who's going to take them in that's a lot of girl for one pride."
She hadn't met the local rex but knew he'd take some and the rest would be shipped to other prides all over the us to be raised and trained and given help. Hopefully some day they would be productive members of society but it would be hard she was sure they had faced horrors in that place. She hoped Del got Estelle and would throw the book at her" If Del is point on this its a huge win for New Orleans. They will make national news"
She sighed and hoped Del was ok and that samuel was, What was it about the men in her life that didn't seem to know when to not get into dangerous things? well maybe it was the kind of man she liked or something but that was neither here nor there. " I guess this is going to be the new topic of lecture maybe?"
