Mable flies to the overpass JC told her to go to. As she flies in she tries to gage the situation.

She hangs upside down and watches to try and figure out what everyone is doing.

JC nodded to Quinn. He was about to send her a predicted path of where the woman might hit their group…
2 successes
When, Dirt Nap preempted that. Which, wouldn’t have been JC’s first instinct but then he was already stressed enough. For now he just stayed low…
1 success
When he got a text. He help his phone as tighly as he could to stop the vibrations and covered the screen as he sent a quick reply.
Telepathy
Jennifer slowly and carefully dialed down the volume. Once it was at 1, The Priscus resumed being a motionless, flat being lying on the ground. Jennifer's surveillance of the unknown woman paid off. She was able to keep her - and the area around the unknown and Dirt Nap - under surveillance. Already she began to strum the stolen blood in her veins, watching for a sign that she needed to act with one of her Blood Gifts.Quote:Jennifer affixes her own ear piece, switching on the device. A good as time to test the equipment as any. Never go into battle with untested equipment… a memory whispers in her mind. It sounded like something from her research, not her own experience

She quits her surveillance of Maeve, JC and the Mekhet Priscus. Her ears will hopefully alert her if they need help. It sounded like Priscus Durant was taking charge of the plan. Jennifer focusses on the woman and follows the orders of the one in charge of the investigation. She had been observing JC and Quinn closely to see where the leadership would become a clear pecking order. Or chain of command.Quote:Quinn looked to her Ladyship, the concern on her face was plain. She made moving down motion with her hand, and a stop gesture....to indicate what she hoped her Ladyship would understand to be stay low and hold your position. She touched her temple and make a little questioning gesture with her head, and look nodded her head to Dirt Nap talking with the woman. She spoke into the headset as quietly as possible and still hoping her Ladyship could hear. "Try to read the woman with far sight, I will go after the critter."
Jennifer strums her Auspex, taught to her by Lady Sage years ago... The Beast focuses on danger and weakness of the Black woman as Jennifer focusses. Listening to her Beast to determine if this woman was Kindred.

The woman is surprised as Dirt Nap speaks. The woman takes two quick steps backwards. Deep caramel-colored eyes sweep the area behind him. A finger holding the pick-up pole quickly presses her music player and the classic rock and roll music is cut off. The woman’s attention swings back to Dirt Nap.
“What you doing out here so late?” The woman inquires. Her voice wavers slightly. Her head turns slightly, scanning behind her. Checking the route back to the homeless encampment. The woman’s head swings back to front, towards Dirt Nap and the Kindred. Suddenly her eyes narrow and she stares in JC’s direction.

The Mekhet focusing on the creature heard its quiet respiration. Its soft footfalls as it pads away, heading towards the homeless encampment. Studying its’ aura doesn’t reveal much – no true colors at all. A tiny bit of violet sparks, but fades even as Quinn studies the creature. She knew Vampires would show more emotion. Kine would definitely show more emotion to her supernatural senses. If she was scanning for the specific look of controlled, dominated or the pale colors of a Vampire, she sees nothing like that. The pudgy racoon continues to move away, ignoring the quiet and hidden Kindred.

"Well now. Seems like a nice night for a little look see, don't you think, Ma'am?" Dirt Nap says amiably, waving his hand around as if to indicate the scenery, but really to draw her eye to him and off any of the others that aren't as well hid as they might think.
"How 'bout you, Ma'am, if you don't mind my asking? You seem to be looking down at the ground instead of up at the stars; are you looking for something in particular? Something lost?" Dirt Nap asks helpfully.
As he talks, he moves slowly and directly towards the woman, not overtly threatening, but all to grab her full attention on himself.
"I'm collecting cans for the money." She gestures vaguely at the ground with her grabber stick.
"And picking up trash." Her eyes dart past Dirt Nap. She seems to have lost JC's location and apparently is looking in general. After a beat, her eyes swung back to Dirt Nap.
"Unless you're working for him, too? I'm Ashea. What's your name?" She questioned. Curiousity seems to prickle her. She takes a step closer to Dirt Nap, studying his eyes. She still appears wary, yet emboldened by the though that Dirt Nap could be working for someone.
(to Jennifer or others who scan the woman with Auspex for a sign of vampirism) The scan of the woman reveals no sign of a Beast. No signal of her age or any hunger. As far as Jennifer determined, the woman was human.
To Mable Wood JC Smith Dirt Nap Maeve Quinn Durant : The sun would soon rise. Some time had been spent organizing, planning and reacting. Yet the sun waits for no Kindred.
Please get your last posts as this scene shall conclude momentarily.

JC tired o hide. Not exactly well, but if she was nortal, it wouldn’t matter. This was the camp. Anyone here wasn’t looking to be found. Hopefully she was willing to honor that.
If she wasn’t… he really wished the others weren’t here. This was the opportunity this spot presented.
An ignorant blood sack to feed upon.
Telepathy = The man with dark eyes touche’s Quinn’s throat. She can feel the blood flowing HOT and SWEEt down her throat. [Half a dozen similar memories touch her mind. Hardly enough time to truly see them.
The Spinster holds the Mehket back. Her arms and spun thread entwining with calm. And Love.
JC felt the dawn approach. Sooner than expected.
Telepathy: The Note Take scribbled quickly. Trying to write down everything.
There won’t be enough time. The spider agreed.
Disperse.
Reconvene.
Reinforce.
Each part spoke quickly. Flooding Quinn with feeling of fear and vague predictions. In the end though, not enough.
JC snuck his way into his Haven. Safely out of sight. And ready to sink into the ground if needed.
Quinn's expertise in natural stealth paid off, but the dawn waits for no Kindred. Quinn, whispered into the headset so her Ladyship could hear her. "We will have to either continue at this spot tomorrow night, or choose another. Damn these short nights to hell."
Her mind reached out for her Maeve, breaking the connection with J.C Smith.
Telepathy to Maeve
Quinn snuck off to not alert the woman, as best as she could. Heading from that spot to the ODCH.

Oh shit, nearly sunlight already? We need to get the fuck out of here.
Stealth - 4 Successes
The Shadow nods to her priscus and without a second thought, begins moving as stealthily as a shadow can without alerting the woman. She heads back to her Haven.
