Shard had seen the message on the Egg and changed her run toward the park. She slowed to a stop outside, taking a look at the damage for the first time under the morning sun. Whistling under her breath, she made her way to where Thomas was standing next to...what had been his car.

"Snikt. They really did a job on her, didn't they?" Which was sad. She'd liked the car.

He'd heard her coming and turned before she spoke. "The vampires?" he asked, resting the soot covered falcata against his shoulder as he ran a finger along what had been the side door of the car. "Naw, this was the reinforcements."

She looked over the car, the surrounding area, then back to the car and Thomas. "Some back up."

He pointed upwards to the empty if somewhat cloudy, rain-laden sky. "Dragon," he explained. "Really really eager dragon."

"You really do make sure to make it thorough if you gotta take 'em out, doncha Shirt." Franky shook his head as he approached. The damage looked even worse in person. Maybe it'd be easier to just let the guy nab a new one, but let it never be said that Franky didn't like a challenge in his field.

"What'd you even do, flash your hi-beams at the dragon to piss it off?" He clicked his tongue. "Poor thing, didn't know it was a hazard to be around ya."

"What can I say, Pants? Go big or go home," Thomas answered, still poking through the charred remains of the car. The falcata was no worse for wear, and the papers and the extra ammo he kept in the glove compartment seemed to have come out alright. "The dragon was backup. Couldn't find a better decoy for the vampires to pile on besides the car before she set them on fire."

Thomas' description of the dragon brought a grin to Franky's face. "Dang. She sounds like my kind of partner in crime. With that sort of backup, who needs a front line?"

Still, that didn't excuse the damage to the car. Franky clicked his tongue. "If you keep goin' through these things so fast, you gotta wonder if it's even worth the effort to keep finding new ones that die before you can make the connection. A good vessel's gotta last ya where it matters, man."

"Not much of a front line," Thomas agreed with a chuckle. "More like making enough of a mess that the dragon knows where to point the fire."

Franky's admonishment rolled off like water off a duck, though it reminded Thomas a little of Harry's pathological connection with his car. "It just needs to get me from point A to point B and mow down anything in my way. I don't plan on getting attached."
