(Gimme Shelter) Stowaway

[Konrad Roth]

Radcliffe Warehouse

Located at the Port of Sacramento - 9:00pm

The brick shaped building sits within clear view of Washington Lake where large shipping vessels come and go along the Sacramento rivers and channels. Above the docks are towering cranes, used to lift the stacked heavy steel containers that await transport. Bright lights beam down on the open lot separating the storage structures, illuminating the port as if in daylight. Despite the hour, several dock workers still move to and fro, though with thinner numbers than the day shift. The Port is open 24/7, which is convenient for a certain creature of the night who does his business on the docks.

Konrad's given his employees the night off in order to have privacy for his guests. He waits on Industrial Boulevard across from the port entrance in his van. The front gate has a guard station check point, so he'll have to take them through using his site credentials.

Within the warehouse itself, a large rectangular wooden crate sits on the shelf against the back wall, tucked away to avoid notice from the day-to-day operations of the warehouse workers. Little do they realize that a corpse lay within, blanketed tightly in packing peanuts and nailed in shut like a coffin. Here the previously Torpored body of Brittany begins to stir.

[Cayce]

A predatory coupe slide beneath the streetlights like an oiled shadow and rolled to a stop in front of the warehouse gates. Even idling the quiet hum of an incredibly expensive engine echoing from behind it's broad grill and from beneath the hood, with its distinctive ornament of a winged woman, and below it, a small plaque stamped with two entwined R's. And, within the depths of the Rolls Royce Wraith, a slim, pale hand tapped out a quick text to Konrad Roth:

I've arrived. Open the gate, if you please.

[Alice Hart]

It takes Alice a bit to get to where Konrad told her about, her mind worrying the thought that her charges might still be in danger, the thought that the Reeve might sacrifice them for the good of the Domain, just because they were in the farmstead. Her thoughts still swirling, snarling themselves together, then apart, and back again, as she see's Konrad's sardeen machine. Rolling her unreal amethysts, of course they'd have to enter the warehouse district thingy in that stupid van.

Alice waves as her ghostly form appears in front of the van. She walks up to the passenger side, and lets herself in. She's not getting into the back of that thing if she can help it. "Hey Konrad." comes her hollow voice as she slides into the seat. "Am I the first one here?" she asks even as her unreal amethysts do a quick sweep of the back of the van.

[Garrick Marlon]

The Trick has been getting easier. Blood moves quicker and it Works. Not that Garrick understands exactly how it works but it does and that's what matters. The knife and pistol are hidden from the food's eyes. Despite the pistol being completely legal, damn eyes.

Strolling steps bring Garrick toward the van. A nod is thrown towards Priscus Roth and Garrick swings around to get into the back of the van. Alice got the good seat. Closing the door behind him Garrick removes his sunglasses and rubs at the bridge of his nose. "Evening to both of you." Time to find out if the Reeve is going to declare a war.

[Konrad Roth]

Konrad lifts a hand in wave, thankful that the arriving Haunts spare him their Beasts. They could probably not say the same for his, but that's the Danse for you. About the same time a text causes Konrad's phone to vibrate on the dashboard and he checks the message once Alice and Garrick have boarded.

"Alice, Garrick, good having you. Reeve just arrived. She'll be following us inside for our meeting. Shut yourselves in the back for the time being so you don't attract any attention." The albino skin and milky irises tended to raises some eyebrows. The first thing the two Haunts might notice is that the van cargo space is not as roomy as it had been last time. Since then Konrad has had seats and a large amount of equipment installed.

He busies himself with scoping out the Reeve's Rolls Royce a moment and then types out a reply text to her.

Follow my van inside. I'll clear us through.

Konrad starts his van and idles it across the street to the front gate of the Port. He draws on his Vitae to liven up his skin and features as he's done before when coming in to work. Pulling out his credentials, it doesn't take long to clear him. He waves the guard over and lets him know the car behind him is a guest of his. It takes them about a minute to write up a guest tag before the guard opens the gate to let them through. They shouldn't be here very long for it to matter though.

He leads the way to the warehouse, parking outside the front entrance. "Here we are," he announces to the others as he shuts the van off and exits the vehicle. He stands outside, waiting for everyone to gather so he can let them into the interior of the building.

One thing disturbs him though. He was sure he'd given his workers the night off. But there were a couple familiar vehicles in the parking spaces. Damn it. Must not have gotten the memo. I'll have to send them home first.

[Alice Hart]

Alice glared at Konrad, completely unimpressed when he said she'd have to get into the back. It was always that goddamned sardeen smushy space! With her glare still affixed, she situated herself into the back with Garrick. She crossed her arms when she settled in next to her cousin, pouted, and continued to glare daggers into the back of Konrad's skull.
