Case File 2018.05.19
It’s been half a day since word reached Liam that a Council asset had been taken by The Red Court. There was a particular interest in this individual, but no information as to why. With this Council asset deep in Red territory, a rescue was unlikely, and only a few could be spared to act on this matter. Liam disliked the response and so now he and Rhea were in Aguas Calientes, Peru. While he would have preferred Chicago’s resident Knight of the Cross along in this matter, her calling took her elsewhere to resolve some demonic activity back at home. Though with them to assist in this matter was Lachlan Blackbriar, someone that Liam was uncertain of but this would be a time for the man to prove his worth.
Sun down was hours away, with the time against them, they would have little chance to collect much info. Even with traveling the Ways, while faster than normal manmade transportation, there was still only so much time they could gain passing through the Nevernever. Given that Liam currently didn’t have the mean of opening the Ways himself, Rhea was basically made to look as if she were doing all the heavy grunt work and made no mention to correct otherwise. The less that people knew of Liam’s current condition, the better. It would be some time still as they make their way through the quiet streets of town to a small bar with a handful of tense patrons inside.
Lachlan played the act of tourist as the three entered the bar. There was a lone musician by the far corner of the room playing with a couple at the table and and a few by the bar along with the bartender with a quick scan of the room. Only moments after placing drink orders, chaos erupts as the musician whips the back of his guitar into the head of one of the patrons at the table. As rune carved six shooter appears to take out the other Red, it’s clear that his individual is the warden, Alvaro Ramirez. By the bar, Liam pulls a wicked looking hunting blade down into the skull of one of the head of the patrons and repeated the process until the Red was dead. The bartender’s flesh mask falls away as he reaches out to lash at Lachlan’s throat. Rhea slams the rest of the unoccupied Reds into the wall as the trio now becoming an unexpected quartet of force within the small bar.
Of the remaining Reds alive, the bartender was questioned by Lachlan, learning that girl they were looking for along with others would be moving along the railway within the hour. The vampires didn’t want to chance a trip through the Nevernever from their current location. After obtaining this information, and with not further use for the Red, Lachlan disposed of him. They would have to hurry to make it in time.
