Priscus Heinrich, eh ? In hindsight it shouldn't be such a surprise to hear of it after Twist's departure has been made public more or less, but still...
The situation makes her think of that Ordo chick a few months back and not in a good way... They'll see how that goes.
"Congratulations to the promotion then, Priscus Heinrich."
She looks back to Jennifer as Conner turns up.
"In the broadest sense, I was still waiting on some details." She takes her folder and flips through it, studying the content. "Here they are."
It seems like everyone is more or less there, so why not start ? She waits until everyone has found a seat.
"Alright, Forten." She begins and flips through some papers. "What do we know ? People were being found dead after being fed on by vampires. Bodies were bloodless and had cat hair on them. Stakeouts revealed a cryptid looking like a cat and a vampire following it. Cat and vampire were ambushed and captured. Deaths stopped after this.
Literature suggests the cat maybe a sort of familiar, like the one witches have. It can apparently be called to places and recalled by its handler, who feeds it and seems to use the cat to collect something from the bodies. Life force, maybe. It was interrogated by Mable wood and gave a description of its handler. The vampire, Angela, is a hired hand who was following the cryptid and also responsible for sustaining a ghoul called Lottie. She's a hired investigator and thinks the cat can identify vampires. She also brought the name of Matthew Forten into play. He and his network are what the investigation is about by now. She also thinks Forten and his folks burned down some haven earlier. It might be the one that Jake, Sanchez and Clark were in as it was torched.
Forten appears to have a degree in humanities and was arrested in Baltimore for disability benefit protests. He is involved with coalitions for the homeless, here as well as in Baltimore.
Police questiond him on the disappearance of some young woman and he own a company called Bonne Nuit LLC." She rolls her eyes at the name. "Forten is no vampire and works with several others, one of which, another Forten, might be an alias or a relative. He dresses pretty flashily and was seen at the VIP section of the Rapture nightclub. He is a magic user and by reports he seems to teach some other folks stuffs at a warehouse.
Bonne Nuit LLC own a parking garage that was already examined, nothing extraordinary. They were in the news lately for a manager going to jail over illegal tours. Priscus Heinrich is currently looking into this.
There is also an antique shop that is legitimate and owned by a Michael Forten.
Lottie, who's actual name is Ashea, is still at large. It would seem Mr Wells has worked on gaining her cooperation. We don't know what exactly she does for Forten, but seems to be important for his operation.
She also has some investigative training. She was looking for Angela earlier after her capture. Lottie is a ghoul, but not Angela's and drives a black Honda Civic.
The antique shop and its customers have been looked into. As I said, the shop checks out and is owned by Michael Forten. He has a guy called Hal acting as a sort of bodyguard. Michael Forten has a valid California ID. The address on the ID is real, but a front, Forten doesn't live there. Several customers were shadowed. An asian man caused an incident when it seemed like he could move quicker than folks could observe.
This dark haired woman" She lays out a drawing that could be used for identification "could be followed but was lost in the parking lot of this apartment complex." She highlights a coloured frame on one of the maps. "Both were pretty hard to follow, and might be Fortens students. There is also some sort of auction going on from Forten's, although we don't know a lot about that.
Questions or anything anyone involved with something would like to add or highlight ?"
