[Giuliana] Lost and Found (March 7, 2010)
"One sec." Moonlight hits the pale skin of the Mekhet as she steps outside the manse, into the gardens, looking back and up at lit windows as she walks further into the maze of roses.
"Ok, I can talk. What did you find?"
The connection is crystal clear, but her brows draw together in consternation as she listens to the familiar male voice on the other end, "On fire?!? And you're certain it wasn't..... oh, no." The recovery team had found the location where Liberty Stone was hiding the bodies of Aidan Wode and Dennis Nolan, the Sheriff and Harpy of Tampa, but they'd also found a bloody and staked Liberty Stone at the scene, and another vampire who looked like him, and set himself on fire, tried to attack them, and then escaped.
Giuliana runs a hand through her hair to push it back, "Are you certain?" Where had she heard about this before? Kindred setting themselves on fire, and seemingly unharmed by it.
The voice comes again, "Yeah. We're checking him out now, but he's not the one who did this." He pauses, "Where do you want your people delivered to you?"
Giuliana rattles off the location of a small airport outside of Atlanta, and he notes it, "Don't bring back up. I don't want this to turn into a fight, and you know I won't let my people hurt you."
"Alder McKay isn't going to let me come get them by himself."
"Then bring him, but that's it."
She glances back at the lit window again, "Ok."
