Case File 2017.08.18
Since recent events, putting Rhea on the mend, there was little time between to take a moment's breath. Crocker was returning with Liam from arranging on further maintenance on the RV-- walking in on Delilah as she had taken advantage of the brief calm to make use of the lobby's piano. Alex was present as well, the two had stayed behind in case Rhea needed anything while working to heal. Liam still needed to speak with James' bride to be and her family...so with Rhea recovering from the recent attacks, it looked to be best to have the four of them close at hand to keep an eye on each other and under one roof for now. He'd borrow James' car and leave the rest to check in on Rhea. Who was doing better, considering the previous state she'd been in only hours prior. They found her seated and focused on healing when entering the room. Settling in, questions turned to James for answers on the Loa, what it was and why it would have killed Justin and then later go after Rhea and Alex. His words confirmed information Farah had provided Alex earlier. The Loa are spirits, once liaison between Bodye and humans but now without a defined role or place. With the practice of Voodoo they're prayed to and practitioners act in service of them. Power varies among them like different tribes. Two of the biggest ones in New Orleans are the Petro and Ghede. The former Adjutant, Justin, as well as Rhea and Alex were likely attacked because there are those that opposed the upcoming wedding to join these two families. James and Rosaline. They'd met before knowing what they were...children of Loa. Ti Papa Jean is a Petro Loa. Rosaline's mother is a Ghede Loa. This upcoming marriage would bind the family together as one.
