(C Tears) The Prisoner

Continued from [Crocodile Tears] The American Dream

It doesn't take long.

In short order, Peter has retrieved his little friend. Or, not so little. And nowhere near friendly. Fortunately, he's in no condition to struggle, or make the transition difficult. Or maybe, unfortunately.

He is exactly as Peter dropped him off. Bound. Gagged. His strength is a shadow of what he exhibited the night before -- a day without food or water will do that. His clothing reeks. Dried blood, both his own and Yuki's, sweat, fear, and possibly a relieved bladder serve to make the stench in the car nearly unbearable.

Then again, Kindred don't have to breathe.

Unless they want to talk. Flannels, on the other hand, is in no condition to talk. His skin is sweaty and clammy at the same time, and the ~~road~~ shotgun rash on his face is an angry red*.

Flannels is in the car. Feel free to take the Scene!
Daniella Sage is waiting at the flower shop, she can be met -or- narrated in having already been met.

Peter was in high spirits as he merrily accepted delivery of the package with his thanks, placing Flannels in the trunk of his car for transport after checking his bonds to make sure he was nice and snug. Or perhaps it was the Menace that was so gleeful. Somewhere, something within him was enjoying this. It was something cruel, something evil, something that reveled in this man's suffering. What was scary was that it was all so easy to justify.

He was a Knight, oathsworn to protect the Invictus. This man and his friends had attacked their holdings. It was all for the First Estate. That which kept the Man strong also strengthened the Menace. Certainty of purpose was both good and dangerous.

It's a thankless job, but somebody's got to do it.

"Hello there," he said jauntily to Flannels before closing the trunk with the wounded man inside. When this was all said and done? Juice-box, knife to the neck, bobs your Uncle. Off they would go to find Crazy and end this.

The trunk was a good place for him to sit. Their Mekhet was waiting for them at the Flower Shop. Time to go.

Sir Baldwin got back in the driver's seat, checked to make sure he wasn't wearing any Flannels-blood, and whistled a quiet little tune as he buckled up. "Good to go? He's in rough shape, but he should be okay for Lady Sage to do her work."

The Daeva wrinkled her nose in distaste at the state of their prisoner also grateful for the need not to breath. When the man was in the trunk and secured and they were all in the car once again she turned to Sir Baldwin.

"Sir Baldwin, if your going to keep pets you should be sure to clean up after them," she said in a mock imperious tone before giving him a grin to let him know she was playing.

"Ready, now lets not keep Lady Sage waiting and get this evening underway." Yuki said anxious to get started.

"I am in agreement, Lady Saito," Jennifer inclines her head. "Let us meet the Lady. We are very lucky for her expertise."

Jennifer surveys the prisoner with interest, keeping her distance. She was most curious about what would come from this creature.
Jennifer creates a text to Daniella.
We are en route, eta [time] Thank you for you patience.

Movin' it along...

Sir Baldwin gave a twisted little half-smile to Saito as he got them going, a little chuckle of amusement coming out at her joke. Saito had a sense of humour? Say whaaaat? With Flannels tied and fucked up in the trunk, he aimed them for the Flower Shop and drove.

Once they arrived, the Knight took it around back of the shop, parked and said, "Madame Hazelton, could you please open the back door for us? We'll go into the shop through there and set our best buddy up for a little more of Lady Sage's scanning."

And then? Once they had everything they needed?

The Menace stirred beneath the Cloak. It knew what it wanted, and Sir Baldwin was disinclined to deny it.

**Jennifer Hazelton** · Aug 31st, 2014 02:14 PM

"By all means, Sir Baldwin," Jennifer inclines her head. "- I shall do so."
The Madame Notary secured her collar and exited the vehicle, moving to unlock the back door. She surveyed the parking lot for a moment to ensure that only Lady Sage's vehicle was present; and motioned for the esteemed Knights to bring thier charge forward. Jennifer stepped into the Flower Shop and walked to the front door, unlocking and opening the door.

"Lady Sage," Jennifer invites the Lady Au pair in with a welcoming gesture. "Please, come inside."
Jennifer awaits for the Lady to enter and then closes and locks the door behind her.

Cross Tiffany Yuki Saito

Yuki sat patiently as the vehicle pulled up to the back door of the shop. She thought it was wise for them to enter the shop from the back service door to avoid the more public front. It would be nice to avoid being seen with what they had to avoid any unwanted questions or complications.

When the car came to a stop she exited the vehicle and closed the door. She made her way to the back of the car and waited near the trunk as she did not have a key or any means to open it. The Daeva would wait to assist Sir Baldwin should he require it to get their captive out of the trunk and inside.

Whistling quietly to himself as he idly exited the vehicle and retrieved his bestest buddy ever from the trunk, giving Saito a small smile and one of his arms like they were carrying a drunk buddy home. He was more than strong enough to carry Flannels through the back door, but it looked better that way. He opened the back door when he heard it click open, gently bringing the man through and placing him in a chair, doing up his bindings.

"Thank you very much," the Knight said, both to Saito and Hazelton equally. He smiled at Sage. "Lady Sage. Good to see you. How are you tonight?"

He almost sounded pleased as he pulled a chair over in front of the bound Flannels and sat down, staring at him. The Menace was practically purring behind the Mask.

It knew.

There would be Blood. Just not yet. Not until Sage had found what she needed to.

To distract himself, he pulled Flannels' and Chefs' phones and checked them for messages.

Unfortunately, both phones are dead.

Batteries. Charging. It's a thing.

**Yog-Sothoth** · Sep 3rd, 2014 01:50 AM

Yuki silently nodded in acceptance of Sir Baldwin's thanks. She silently assisted him with the disgusting kine and her features were a mask of professionalism that did not betray her displeasure of the task. At least she could dispose of the trenchcoat afterward. After the man was set in the chair and secured she turned to the other two women.

"Good evening Lady Sage," the daeva in greeting.

She noticed Sir Baldwin messing with the portable devices, but he appeared to be having trouble.

"Trouble?" she inquired.
