Nat drives Meredith back to Alex's club. Alex is dormant by the time Meredith comes back but she knows the routine and can easily get to her chambers in the basement.
The daytime comes and passes as usual and the following night begins. Clover and Koln rise at around 9pm as does Meredith.
Clover and Koln will find that Lacey has not yet risen, she lays almost child-like in Koln's bed clutching his pillow. It is cute except for the fact that there is the unnatural lack of breathing sounds that any living person would make while asleep.
Meredith gets up with a new idea in her head, she quickly gets dressed and goes to look for Alex at his apartment.

OOC: In our old game, Alex lived in a mansion in the French Quarter of New Orleans. In this game he lives in an upscale apartment in the Downtown area as to keep a low profile. Perhaps he could be in the process of moving to a much nicer residence in the West Hollywood area.
Alex lives in a large suite in the Historic Core of Downtown Los Angeles. I assume that Meredith is taking public transportation to get there.
Meredith takes the elevator up to Alex's floor and knocks on the metal door leading to his suite. Natalie opens the door and says "Long time no see. Come in. Alex just got out of bed not too long ago and is getting ready to go out. Please have a seat. Can I get you anything?"
Natalie leads Meredith into a large open room that resembles an old library. Large bookshelves line the walls and there is no shortage of reading chairs about the room. The hardwood floor is covered in a beautiful oriental rug while the walls are adorned with paintings, mostly of historical events. Alex may not be a very old vampire, but Meredith is all too familiar with his taste for the old Gothic look.
Father Koln rolls out from under the bed and gets dressed. As he's dressing, "So four leafed one, what are we doing tonight? Socrates says we need to see ze Prince. Hopefully this one will be purple."
Meredith looks about the room, glancing at the paintings she's seen several times before, knocking back and forth on her sneakers waiting for Alex to see her.
Clover froze, having nearly forgotten about their scheduled meeting with the Prince this evening. She finally nodded and shut her laptop, groaning, "Yes. Prince Victoria St. John. You're right."
She began to pull her stuff together, packing her pocketbook with the same care she always did. Wallet. Cell phone. Playing cards. And even the new little gun that Lacey had given her. Speaking of which... she wondered when the vampire in question would awaken for the evening?
While they waited (after all, she certainly didn't want to leave Lacey behind and all alone in their poor, unsuspecting apartment), she settled down on the couch, tilting her head towards her companion, "So, what happened last night after Lacey and I left you? Did you have a nice meeting with the Anarchs? Learn anything useful?"
