She frowned very few things could poison a lycanthrop it was damn near impossible." I'll look into some compounds see if it can be narrowed what was ask my connections cause if that can be narrowed down we can get a lead maybe"
That was adding work but what she was going to do is mention to samuel that stuff in chi was about to get hot so that if he or his brother were about to be roasted they had time. Funny that monica wasn't even second guessing that.
" I'll talk to James as well he was drom there would be good on point for Intel."

Bhas chuckled sourly at her suggestion. It was solid police work sadly it'd been done and done over and over. Everyone was looking for the pun intended silver bullet to poison lycanthropes. Whatever it was had been fast acting and dissipating.
"Good luck everyone is looking for the magic bullet that was used so to speak." He didn't need to say why as the lethality was worth it's weight in platinum.
Chicago was definitely on a lot of radars but the witch fiasco made things difficult there was talks of a national preternatural register. Well at least a public one.
Bhas sighed, changing tactics, "What're you doing Sunday there's a blind santa exchange at the office twenty-five dollar buy in?"

" don't need luck and I'm sure that everyone is searching but I've been known to think out side the box"
Biting her lip then he mentioned santa thing" oh yeah that would be perfect because then one gift and cops all mostly like the same stuff."
She grinned a new leather ankle holster or a place to hide holy water that a vamp would overlook when takin items at a vampire club. All useful" so see you Sunday then?"

" Everyone needs luck, even if its just dumb… Yeah see you Sunday. Oh yeah where something Red." He said hanging up. It was clear the conversation was over and yet he felt as if there was so much more to discuss. He looked at the burner satellite phone resting there and sighed. He hated making these calls but it looked as if he would need to ahead of previously planned schedules. It felt like cheating but as he thought it he was reminded of his own words everyone needed luck. And this was very dumb in the grand scheme of things but in for a penny in for a pound.
Not expecting a prompt answer he was taken aback but composed himself quickly enough he thought. " We need your help. I need your help. What can you tell me about…"
This call went on longer than most had but was still short enough to not trip any alarms or be accurately traced. He was given a bookstore a time and a warning. He would follow the instructions as best he could the warning however might not be heeded as closely as the other instructions.

Monica had plenty of red to pick from it was a color that looked good on her. So she looked at her now hung up cell and sighed " well then time to shop a bit maybe Samuel can help me pick something unique but practical"
Having barely sat down when she noticed a new number and voice mail had popped up. Wow, she was popular tonight. Noticing the area code made her eyes narrow. This was either really bad or at the very least bound to be interesting.Dialing it back she waited" this is deputy marshal Davis returning a call from this number."

Matt had left the barest of information sure she wouldn't call back but conscience clear that he'd reached out once his head was clear. The return call was a surprise as such he settled into his chair as he answered. Listening first he coughed at the Marshal part but put a smile in his voice all the same.
"Well Marshal Davis it's clear you don't listen to your voicemail. And your phone is seldom off." He paused for recognition to dawn. The twenty pounds of muscle he'd put on was sure to not have changed his voice but time might have changed her easy recognition.
"How are you?"

She raised a brow" you bozo I was on with my boss cause of some stuff we got going on here no time for voicemail"
She said that with not an ounce of malice all tease and relieved to hear from him despite it all. She should have been mad at him maybe should have let him have it but she was just glad it wasn't his next of kin tying up loose ends." I am good mostly. ever the workaholic media darling.. or so they are hoping"
She paused and debated but no she had to ask" hey remember the iceman? that marshal we met at one of the more sketchy scenes last spring not long after we started working together?"
She wanted to pick his brain unsure if this call meant he was coming back.

She raised a brow "Yeah? Guess even a clown can get a tan..." He teased back falling into easy patter. "Iceman is operating in the apple? Guess that means you got a huge body count and disappearances. That dude was sketch as fuck. Thought they ran most off those hand of God vengeance types out on rail save Blake and Forrester."
Pausing as he while nominally was a cop wasn't a Marshal so he was technically making her choose teams. That wasn't what he meant to do and if he crossed a line she might not help him vet the detective he kind of wanted to work with.
"Sorry getting ahead of myself, yeah I remember him why what's up?"

She took no offence to anything bad about the person she knew as the iceman he was sketch. Monica shifted" oh no hes not here the supes here would have his ass even as good as he is but that's the problem.. turns out he was in.. um Chicago and went off the radar. So I'm hoping he just got a wild hair or something and went all survivor man but the boss man don't think so"
She didn't know why it felt so good to be talking to him, maybe it was because up till then she'd been stuck with someone who wanted to get to know her but also might have to discipline her if she messed up Bash was ok but he came with issues if she got to free with him. That was always in the back of her head because things had gone sideways with matt when he found out to much of what her free time was like but he couldn't kill her career with it.
" so theres that and some other stuff that could be more than local down to a uni-level are the witches a problem where you are?"

He stood up and paced hearing her breathe over the phone. He knew she wasn't holding anything in regards to this psycho but there was something unsaid. He'd been practicing more than his physical aptitudes. He ignored it for now.
Chicago. That was funny indeed the detective he was thinking of using had a brother stationed in the area who'd died a few months ago. Everyone was saying missing and she refused to sign the paperwork that would make it official. He liked her stubbornness and the fact she remained on the reservation despite everything.
He chuckled sardonically as she mentioned witches.
" Real talk?" He asked waiting for her to say to on deciding as he waited to make the question rhetorical.
"No such thing down here. I think Violante killed them all or somehow tan them off about 6 months ago. Nothing left but fakes and hustlers left. It's spooky weird how everyone knows but no one sees to care. The whole no actual proof thing has gotten ridiculous."
He let that settle in before circling back to Chicago. "And Iceman well can't tell you what to do but I'd let Chicago alone. I hear they are always at war with someone eventually gonna get to a point where national guards gonna be called...&

She cursed full out let fly " well thats one way of handling it I suppose and what we are trying to keep from happening else where cause they are getting out of hand. "
Face palm" yeah no shi... I dont want to go there but with him mia and the witch threat as a federal marshal i might not get that choice"
Eyes closed she frowned and then" so hows your family?"

He sighed rubbing the back of his neck as he suddenly felt the missed weight of his rig. " Yeah I get that. Family is a safe as I can make them actually before everyone went missing had a local get a few wards up and changed ownership to someone I trust who will hold it in proxy so as to not be able to invite any vampires in. So yeah safe as can be for now until she turns her attention more directly on us."
The idea made his blood boil. But it was all he could do for now. " How’s you love life still exciting and secret?"
Yes he went there directly. Only as an opening gambit because he’d done some digging. Nothing traceable of course but digging all the same there was a lot of guess work involved but he had a picture as to who she’d been dating and why it was a secret she guarded so closely. It was to be expected but he only asked now starting this line of thought so she would know that despite it all he was trustworthy. If he’d wanted to blow her shit up he could have. That was never his aim never his play. " So you know I know have known for about three months now. Even private jets have to register flight plans…"

Nodding as she listened about to tell him that was good but then he brought up what he knew and her teeth ground together. Taking a deep breath" really matt? Thats what we are doing now?.....he's fine I'm fine out side of work. If you really know what you think you know then you understand why you don't want to add this to your list"
She really really didn't want this to happen." So then since you know explain to me who what where and why?"

Nodding as she listened about to tell him that was good but then he brought up what he knew and her teeth ground together. Taking a deep breath
" No that’s not what we’re doing I’m telling you I know. I’m only gonna explain that when I am sure that knowing what I know won’t send your beau at my head. I am only letting you know because I need your help and I won’t ask for help while keeping a wall between us. I need you. I really do but … I can’t if I am angry at you for keeping your secrets. I thought over the last few months I could do this alone. I thought I could save my family and vicariously myself alone. I can’t I really can’t I can erect walls but in the end walls and locks are only good enough until someone really wants in."
He paused sighing." Look Davis I know. And now you know I haven’t just been at the bottom of a bottle I had to find out without triggering alarms. I have a hacker that is undetectable and cellphones as long as they have batteries in place are traceable even if they aren’t in use. So now we are on an even keel. Will you help me Marshal Davis. I would say partner but I don’t know if we are simpatico on this or anything else right now…"
He hadn’t realized he was pacing until he for the umpteenth time found his gaze flitting over the poster his uncle designed. ‘Be a warrior. Defend your loved ones and your future. Gregory's Ultimate Athletic Range Domain.’ He felt like an idiot now. He’d been staring at this poster for over six months. He just realized that the name of the gym was called the GUARD.

She sighed" ok then but you realize that since you know what you do that he will burn the world for me and thats just facts not bragging. I gotta be real careful about how I step into this. The person you mentioned sounds like problem that i can't intimidate by flashing a badge at."
She was now sure that things were going to get very bad very soon. She would do what she could to cover her ass. Calls to gates and samuel to pad her odds.
