    Lysander puts his fingers in his mouth and whistles.

    He decides against shedding any Vitae on a night such as this.

    Again the trees shake and sway. Far more footsteps this time. Eight huge werewolves in their war form emerge. The leader turns human once more.

    "Looks like all of you don't lie. Hand him over."

    Cock Robin tosses over Rodriguez.

    "Now, you, the other one. Remove the stake" the werewolf says with an angry glare.

    Lysander daintily steps over, keeping his eyes on Rodriguez, and a quick glance at the wolves.

    He removes the stake and jumps back, ready to use his dark power if Nines attacks him.

    OOC: That new one, IF necessary... Arms of the Abyss to wrap him up.

    Rodriguez's flesh slowly becomes more lifelike. He looks around and immediately lunges for Lysander and Cock Robin, however mid air a set of huge jaws snap shut on him.

    The head werewolf speaks one last sentence before transforming.

    "Get out of here, once we finish Rodriguez we will not be in our right minds, we will kill you. Leave and ensure the city is open to us, your Anarch problem will soon be solved."

    Lysander looks at Cock Robin.

    'Guess that's our cue. I assume you will make sure of the arrangements for the city to be open?'

    He follows Rob back out the way they came in.

    Cock Robin starts sprinting and gestures to Lysander to do the same.

    "Yeah, I'll phone Jacqueline, she'll be happy with that.

    You go meet her, we've the first stage of our little plane to gauge her strength. She's talking to the Toreador Primogen at the moment."

    'Thy will be done. A location, perhaps? Save me driving around the city for an age.'

    "Toreador Primogen's mansion is in Inglewood. I'll send the location to your phone."

    They exit the National Park and hear a series of howls.

    "In that car Lysander and get outta here as fast as you can!!!"

    Lysander dives into his car and speeds off from the National Park.

    He heads in the direction of Inglewood.

    A ghoul who looks to be in his fifties answers the door and looks at Lysander.

    "Oh, you're like the Mistress. My mistress and her....su....superior...." he pauses, saying the final word was very difficult for him "...are within. Whom should I say is calling?"

    His accent is Mid-Atlantic, like a movie star from the 40s.

    "Of course."

    He is let into the Foyer and then led to a luxurious sitting room, where the Toreador Primogen is reclining. She has thick black hair and dresses like a debutante from the late 1800s.

    The prince, who stands next to the unlit fireplace gestures.

    "Larry come here, this is Deborah, our Toreador Primogen."

    Lysander bows firstly to the Prince and then the Primogen.

    'Prince, Primogen Deborah. An honour to see you both.'

    The Toreador is suddenly straight in Lysander's face.

    "A handsome one this one. Ventrue for sure my boy? I feel some Toreador must have been in a rage to see such a beauty snatched up to a clan that cares only about ruling and nobility.

    Oh Jaqueline, I love him already."

    She hugs Lysander.

    "Oh, tut, tut. Naughty boy." She silently raises her hand where Jacqueline cannot see, with four fingers extended. "One too much no?" she whispers.

    He smiles and whispers back.

    'Not... exactly.'

    He then straightens himself and responds normally.

    'I serve the Camarilla, primarily - at the whims of my prince. As is the wont of our clan. But the compliment is appreciated.'

    He slicks his hair back.

    'How can I be of assistance anyways?'

    "Cock Robin phones ahead. The Anarchs going to die tonight. Police reports coming in of a violent fight at one of their bars. You've done very well Larry." Jacqueline smiles.

    Deborah turns to Larry.

    "I heard about this, got the wolves to do it for you. Now, I've been around for a while, but I ain't never seen anybody get a wolf to do anything. That is impressive. People skills, they're necessary, you sure you aren't a Toreador?"

    Jacqueline speaks once more.

    "Cock Robin also mentioned you were heading to the bar to confirm the kill. If Smiling Jack has been offed I'd love to see it, mind if I come along?"

    'Alas, dear Deborah I am certain of it. It was a lot of work to allow the wolves to side with us. We had to bring them Rodriguez - which was done tonight.'

    "Lets go then Larry.

    Deborah, a pleasure as always. I hope you know Larry here helped a bit in disposing of your predecessors ghouls. Well he helped dump there bodies." She nods to Deborah and walks out.

    "Larry, may I ask you something, I feel something special from you..."

    Lysander sees Deborah in a new light. There is something impressive about this Primogen, trustworthy, as she talks she convinces him that she only has the cities best interests at heart.

    OOC: Post coming, treat whatever Deborah says as something a very close friend is asking of you. You're not dominated, she used Presence, the Toreador power. This basically just changes your attitude to her, but does not 'Command' you or control you. So do what you want, but consider Lysander to view Deborah as a trust worthy ally like Cock Robin.

    "Larry, now that you understand me, let us hurry, I have delayed you for a few minutes, the Prince will start to wonder. Just take one thing into account. The Anarch areas used to be Toreador territory, perhaps you could mention this to the Prince? We should have the bar and the street surrounding it returned to us."

    'Of course, Deborah. I would think that only fair. I will urge the Prince to return the territory to you. May I just say how stunning you look? It's like I didn't notice it before.

    That aside, I will do this for you. Consider it my gift to you.'

    Lysander turns to leave, but figures that would be rude to his new friend. He stands and waits for a response.

    Lysander nods, and bows again to the Primogen. He marvels at how close they have become in such a short time.

    He leaves and joins the Prince.

    'So.. am I driving or do we have an escort given your... stature?'

    "You're my escort Lysander. I can think of nobody better. Now, the Old Hat bar on National Boulevard. I cannot wait to see Smiling Jack's desiccated corpse."

    Lysander receives a text from Kirsten.

    "May I see that?" asks Jacqueline.

    It reads:

    "Larry, hey.

    Smiling Jack is one of the few people who may have an insight into what happened to LaCroix. Cock Robin will be there to help you. Jacqueline has good reason for wanting him dead, but ask her to hold off a bit. The Camarilla needs to know this."

    Lysander deletes the text, opens another from Lydia and smiles at the Prince.

    'Of course, my Prince. An old one resent from one of my ghouls, nothing important though.'

    He hands the phone out to her.

    'The bar we are going to... Anarch territory. Am I correct in saying it used to be an area of control for Toreador? Perhaps... perhaps as a show of faith it should be returned to them.'

    "....Wow, you must have full on bonded this one, pretty emotional stuff.

    Yes actually Deborah was just talking about that. She convince you of its merit? Oh, I suppose why not, it is directly North of their territory and a small expansion. They'd still have much less than the Gangrel."

    Lysander shrugs.

    'Yes, a bit pathetic, but she has her uses. Dedicated, trustworthy... and expendable. Just how I like them.'

    He opens the passenger door of his car for the Prince.

    'Shall we go?'
