Bhas sat at his desk looking over the sitrep breakdown for the years investigations. Closed, Solved, Open/Unsolved and the cases being tried. It was a mess. It was the jurisdictional nightmare he’d feared all those months gone by. He hoped to have ended a few and yet he was thankful for the fresh blood that’d been added. He sighed massaged his shoulder and leaned back taking a moment to simply let the work sink in.
There was no clear easy answer to any of it. He had to accept that. He also needed to accept the limits of what he could push through trust in the system and leap. Sighing he recounted the state of things from memory turning away from the glowing screen of his laptop.
The practitioners seemed to have united into a mostly national cabal of those willing to flout the law in an effort of wresting some control from the other preternaturals of their community. The FBI was on a pun intended witch hunt looking for the persons or person responsible for killing their man in Chicago. The Murders in New Orleans while quiet he felt was more in line with the case being worked by the Marshals though they’d seemed to come to an abrupt end.
It’d always been curious to him that Saint Louis was the unspoken capital of the preternatural yet the biggest monsters those that were truly the bump in the night rarely appeared there. Albuquerque, Hawaii, Las Vegas, and especially Chicago and New Orleans. It was troubling mentally knowing there was so much more out there than what made it into the popular public conscience.
Sighing he spun back in his chair and called Davis to see where things were coming with Patricia

She had gotten Patricia cleared despite resistance and shade thrown by some of the team. The woman after all she had been through was thankful for her life and after explaining to samuel away from everyone else an emissary from the pride that was trusted was sent to meet her.
She had given them a nutral place under guise of taking the lioness for clothing. It had gone well enough that when samuel returned he collected the girl after an outed well respected member of the pride vouched as her sponsor.
After she told the others that a check would be done over time to insure she remained behaved. She would help them build the case against the dr and others at the campus she'd been held in.
Currently Monica was going over paper work from the other side of things with the witches when the phone rang. " davis?...oh well um welcome back to new york how was your trip?"
Then proceeded to fill him in on their charge keaving out who her lion contact was and only mentioning that someone was sent by the community to vet her before letting her in.

She’d proven herself and her connections to the community as being indispensable. Marshals her senior hadn’t been able to move as fast nor as surely with the local Pride. They were aware of some shake-up but no one was talking to what extent. It was as if everyone had grown a case of STFU. He didn’t like it but he was sure there was nothing he could do about it just yet.
Davis however had not lost her in with them and he appreciated that for what it was.
" Horrible but successful. What do we have, is it as bad as it looks on paper?"
He was adept at finding hidden clues and reading people it was why he’d risen as fast as he had. It was a fight to not read Davis she was holding back on him and he would normally push but there was enough work without adding to the case load.

Frowning she sat" all together better and worse not to mention in the midst of it we had a massive man hunt and one pp lost the perp after several cops and a civi were involved. Shes recovering and was uninfected thank the heavens but her face"
Monica had seen the pics both right after and after human healing and a few plastic surgeries" she will never speak again mind you and the city might have to pay up"
She chewed at her bottom lip gently" still no trace of the practioner x he's either dead captured or in the wind over seas"

Bhas tsked at the idea of an escaped lycanthrope felon. Especially one that had caused such visible lasting damage. Damn it all and to be compounded by the witches situation. " That’s not a great way to end the year and an even worse way to start a new one."
Bhas was hopeful that there was something to hang their star on for he upcoming year. He settled on Patricia. She as a win-win situation for them and Monica had handled the lead on that. She was a regular PR darling for the NYPD he hoped her l[luck hadn’t run out and she could help in a similar way for the Marshals department." How’s Patricia she getting settled as well as you thought."

Finally an easier subject she knew he wasn't softballing her with out reason they needed a win both in morale and publicly." Well I'm sure that you know as much as I do about pride structue due to the text books we are given and those willing to share but there are holes im sure. I think there were a few..growing pains when she first entered the pride but.. last check in she was visibly calmer and hopeful. New clothes and a stylish haircut. So whatever shes found there I think we are ok."
The growing pains had bern ger fighting for her olace in the pride and from the dm all bit shed been told, the small bit her rex had shared with her the girl had done well. Taken a few lickings but never let it discourage her.

"That's a bit of good news at least." He moved that piece mentally into the win bracket. " Your florist friend, the one who helped route out the drug dealing lycanthropes in NY can we maybe use him to help launch a see something say something campaign?"
Bhas needed them to seem constantly pushing even as most of leads for the cabal if witches seemed to have dried up. They had practitioners undercover but so far nothing was working in their favor.

That was a good plan but might paint target on the bears back. She shrugged then remembering that he couldn't see her" we can run it past him but need to be mindful to not get him tsrgeted by others fgor his involvement though hes a pretty big and pretty tough guy silver bullets are silver bullets"
She made note to reach out to him and work out details." So anything major coming i should be excited for? Or a gift you might want cause im sure you are terrible to shop for "

"I'm easy to shop for Davis. Food always works. Good idea you work on him see what we can get. I will check in with you in two days... By the by how do you feel about Chicago?"
He was showing as much as he could as nothing was definitely but there was chatter. None of it great.

It was only through extreme grace and control that she did not choke on her spit when he mentioned the place that samuel had not long ago returned from and that his brother the head of a multi pride national coalition lived.
She coughed" good pizza but why?"
Calming her pulse as she waited for him to explain.

"Just some chatter on the wire right now... Did you know both us and the feebles lost a man there. Both just vanished...weird huh?" He couldn't say much but two disappearances of preternatural officers hit a lot of radars. Normally there'd be a team on site with practitioner abilities sadly with the lay of the land as it was all practitioner teams had been dispersed and reshuffled.

Wincing at that news" no I didn't but one of my replacement at one pp seemed to have been worried over someone and he just came from there..who did we loose?"
She knew most of the marshal by name or rep so could put a face to them or look them up.
She had a feeling was she chicago bound soon.

"Marshal Lau, he was gunslinger grandfathered in from the bad old days. And their guy was a former cop who worked clerical mostly clearing cold cases. Agent Thaddeus, his sister is a Miami-Dade Detective."
He let that sit there with her. Testing her a little yes but not unfairly her political acumen needed to be vetted as well.

She whistled low" the iceman is missing? Freakin..A. sure he didnt just do a deep cover hunt deal. You know his rep for going off the reservation. Thad? Never met him but heard fair things about him..and yeah that one is the new guys friend..shoot"
He was right two with those reputation missing so close. It was ether one or both dead and not of natural causes. She had met lau once he was a chilling man to be around almost animals in focus.

He nodded in agreement to her whistle it was a mess a well and true mess. " Yeah and there is more. Prior to both of their absences with presumption," He paused what he was telling her was miles above her pay grade but if she had connections with the community that could be truly useful now was the time for her to be transparent. Chicago was a mess Seattle wasn’t far behind and New Orleans was a black hole.
“There was a joint task force in Chicago based out of Ohare International; Real black bag stuff in regards to the Preternatural Community. Its leader was a regular Kresky the great in regards to finding and taking down preternatural targets. He and his team had the highest target acquisition rate. Almost one-hundred percent lethality when needed. He went dead in a tea house known for preternatural acceptance. Turns out he was poisoned. Worse yet his corpse tested positive for lycanthropy. Not so much as an electronic blip in regards to finding his killer nor why he tested positive for lycanthropy. It doesn’t add up. Lycanthropes can’t be poisoned yet the test has been run everyday for the last seven months and still shows lycanthropy.”
His story told he let the tale sit there the bigger picture he was saving until she digested the flavor of the area.
