Legba simply shrugged. "It sounded like someone has dug up the bodies for a snack - odd to dine on 'dry' meat, yes? I've never seen a dog do that." Night-colored eyes looked to Gabriel curiously. "You think there are...Sabbat...there, Gabriel Cross?"

Legba's last comment seemed to spur Qadir into action. He smoothed down his beard with his right hand and reached into his overcoat with the left, drawing out a dark object. The dim streetlight shone back off the badge fixed to one side as he slid it into an outer pocket.

"I will approach the main entrance. The Masquerade will be our first concern, and the ambulance delayed if need be. I can certainly divert attention from your entrance." Though he looked about the neonates, his attention rested at the last on David, who bobbed his head in agreement.

"We can get into the Frederick Douglas over the wall from deeper in here, if nobody's watching that's the best way in." The scourge continued "I'll need the... specialist" He looked from Gabriel to Nikolai and back "and his minder, whichever is which, with me. We'll make for the scene and take it from there. Contact me if there's trouble at the gates and I'll send help or come myself." It seemed the sheriff's turn to nod.

"Then I wish you luck, gentlemen. If there is nothing else, I must go to work." With a bow, Qadir stepped back to walk the distance back to the main access alone.

"I couldn't really call the place nice though. Hehe, because of us for example," Max smiles and cracks his knuckles.

"I unfortunately agree, Maxwell....
No place that has us around can ever be called 'nice' again.

But perhaps we can make this place, at least, a little bit more nice if we clean up the garbage that's around here."

Nik hears Gabriel's analysis, and replies, "Some more bestial vampires might have lost so much of their humanity as to desire a nibble on a corpse or two.... I've seen more bestial things than that, unfortunately.

As for Lupines, they are creatures of base nature - more predictable than vampires. I agree that it does not match their modus operandi, but they at least have something to gain by chewing dead corpses, whereas only the sickest of vampires would consort with corpses."

The mention of sick-fu%k vampires makes Nikolai's mind wander to tales he's read of vampires who hang around dead things...

Night-colored eyes looked to Gabriel curiously. "You think there are...Sabbat...there, Gabriel Cross?"

"Possibly... some of them have slid so far from humanity as to be little more than animals." Gabriel answered in his typical raspy voice. "Still, it makes little sense. I don't think the lupines would go to so much trouble for a bone to chew on either."

He looks to see Qadir walking away, then turns back to the others. "I suppose we shall find out."

The little girl flushed in pleasure at the singers complement, Of course anyone would love to be my mommy. But I don't just want it to be anyone, I want it to be someone I want. Uncle Nathan isn't always fun, so I want to make sure its someone really fun, like miss Cate, or miss Vych, well maybe not miss Vych, she can be really scary when she gives that look. I'll just have to make Uncle Nathan make one of them my new mom. She thinks to herself with a sharp nod of her small head.

She turns her attention back to the singer in time to hear her ask if she wanted to have their song now. "Yes, please." Sabrina answered. She hops up out of Cate's lap and leads her over to the entertainment center. Its in a closed wooden cabinent with a scenes of mythic england engraved lovingly upon it. Dragons, knights, and princesses. It was one of her favorite things that was her uncles. She opens it up to display an impressive home theatre system, everything that someone with no monetary barriers might posses.

"Put it in, put it in. Lets hear our song." she says hopping up and down impatiently.

Pulling a CD out of her leather coat, Caitlyn took off the coat itself, laying it across one of the chairs. She moved over to make sure the doors were closed tightly before heading toward the magnificient entertainment center where Sabrina stood waiting. Popping the CD into an empty slot, she pressed the button to let the music echo loudly through the room.

With a mischievous smile, she slipped her boots off and laid them to one side. "One thing about singing is that you need to loosen up! To enjoy it...and that's the first thing we'll do for you, Sabrina. Let's free up you from that formal nonsense."

Vacation...need a little sun to break up all the frustration

Her fingers snapped on either side as she approached Sabrina in a stylized walk that was almost a dance movement in itself as she sang along with the music.

And turn it into love
Ain't nobody gonna tell us what we gonna do

She motioned for the child to join her with one hand.

Because today, it's up to me and you!

Sabrina clapped her hands excitedly as the first notes played from the speakers. She knew this song, it was one of her very favorites, she had even tried to get Jemal to dance with her to it, but he was too 'mature' he had said.

"It's Pokemon!" she shouted out giggling, she had never met an adult who liked them before, she really did like miss cate. We are going to be such good friends, and she'd be a really fun mom, like Allisons. "Yea, no formal stuff." the little girl agreed clapping to the beat. Her small but powerful voice sung out the words to the song she knew by heart, swaying her body to the upbeat styling of Vitamin C.

Temptation coming up to me
A little brief relaxation and I'll be breaking free
Come on and break it break it new and I believe it's gonna start now

Sabrina swayed towards the singer to the beat at the woman's come hither gesture. She took the womans hands in hers and swung them both energetically dancing with the beautiful woman. Her cheeks were rather flushed with all the excitement. This was the most fun that she had had since well, she couldn't remember of hand, but for awhile.

Vacation's where I wanna be
Buddy on the beach where the fun is free
We don't need a holiday to start to celebrate

"Yes it is!" Cate agreed with a laugh as she spun around and around with Sabrina, laughing and singing with the music and the child. "So don't slouch! Sing with those pipes and show me what you got!"

Vibrations Need to get me sun
and break up all my complications and turn it into love

Was it so long ago that she was this young? Was it only so recently that she was this free? Cate couldn't remember or didn't want to remember, just falling into the music of the moment.

Ain't nobody gonna tell us where we gotta be
Because today, today it's to you and me

"Don't hold it in! Let your voice flow with the music! Don't be afraid of being too loud. You want to relax and excercise your vocal cords--warm them up!"

Vacation's what I wanna do
Buddy on the beach, fun for me and you

Sabrina's infectious happiness spread over Cate and she reveled in it, that emotional bond between them that had started at the point when Sabrina had turned that angelic face toward her and taken her mind off Nathaniel and Carrick.

We don't need a holiday to start to celebrate

Giving Sabrina a twirl, she smiled as they both tried to keep their balance.

Repeat after me, "I need a vacation."

Max watches Qadir leave.

"Good luck," he says.

His attention returns to the remaining group of five.

"Well then," he checks his vest is securely on one last time, "Ready when you are."

Dammit, lupine... I hope not. I wonder what it would cost to get silver bullets made. I'd probably have to make them myself though, that'd mean the price of the silver and the equipment to make my own ammunition. At least I've plenty of time to learn. If I stay in this line of work I'm going to have to get a shotgun.

"Will do," she says happily singing out even louder the before, not shouting, but certainly letting out a lot of energy and excitement. Her hair bounced and bobbed, swung and swayed as she danced in time to the music, being twirled by Cate hadn't helped her balance, but it was certainly fun. Giggling she turned a stumble into a cartwheel coming to rest against the plush leather of the chairs. Sabrina didn't even miss a beat before she was giggling and back on her feat. Shouting out the rest of the song.

Let's go!

The little girl clapped her hands in time to the clapping of the song skipping back over to the singer.

Let's go!

"Don't be afraid of being too loud. Miss Cate had said, and the child couldn't help but thinking, Who, me? She was singing as loud as her little lungs could stand without shouting and ruining the song.

Let's go!

ooooo...
Let's go!

(So come with me)
