    Wilhelm was quiet for several seconds after completing the readings. His eyes closed, and a look of intense focus on his face as he sorted through all the various images he had received. His mind examined them, searched them, piecing them together with bits and pieces of his own memory. Then everything clicked into place, and he kept his eyes closed for several more seconds to prevent the almost reflexive suspicious glance at Culler. Sometimes a person was simply unfortunate, and jumping to unfounded conclusions was foolish for a Vampire. But still, one simply did not survive the Danse by automatically assuming that every apparent coincidence was simply that.

    And he found himself regretting even more that he had not been able to sink his blades into the infuriating biker. And a few more seconds were taken to temper the flames of anger that the realization birthed in him

    His eyes opening once more, he turned to face the Prince. "From Lars I can get nothing. However, the helmet was worn as a disguise. The outfit was once worn by someone in physical contact with Keeper Maskelyne in one of the private rooms at Court. The gun was aimed at one of the homeless men present at Mr. Hatori's ill-fated attack on the homeless that allowed Dirge to infiltrate their camp, but the shot I saw missed." A brief pause to let the words sink in, "Deputy MacAntaghee was the only one who drew a firearm during that fight, his first shot missed its mark. The outfit Keeper Maskelyne was wearing in the vision; the same one she wore when Harpy Stamford struck the Kine at Court in June, when the Keeper spoke with the Deputy shortly thereafter in a private room."

    Still caught up in the act of defacing his enemy, Arnold wears a small smile as Wilhelm analyzes the items, and continues to smile when he begins explaining what he found out.

    As Wilhelm continues to explain, however, and the weight of his words sink in, the smile fades to a dull expression.

    How could I have been fooled twice?

    He had been deceived. Again. The feeling of failure started a fire in his guts that was steadily stoked to an inferno of rage that threatened to overcome him.

    His fists clenched until fingernails bit into flesh and thick blood seeped from between his fingers. His massive form trembled with suppressed rage. His teeth ground nearly to the point of breaking. He wanted to fly into a fury. To tear the room they stood in down around them and scream his frustration to the world.

    Am I really so poor a judge of others? Am I so inhuman now that I cannot recognize the signs of deception? When did I become so blind?

    It is quite clear to the others in the room that Arnold was not taking the news well. The only thing the big Haunt could do, though, was attempt to comfort himself with the knowledge that now he knew Mac's nature. And now they had Lars, and hopefully he would lead Arnold to sweet, decadent revenge.

    I wonder, though, if there's truly anyone I can trust

    When he finally does speak, it's quietly and with almost sinister calmness "It seems that Deputy Macantaghee has deceived us all. The Brood evidently have decided that I am an easy target for such tactics."

    What timing.

    Although his expression didn't change, the slight change in his jawline revealed teeth clenching briefly in anger.

    "Indeed,"
    Asa nodded. "It was my mistake for recommending him."

    There was a pause as Asa considered the future, and sureties; options, both Blood and Oaths. Granted, it was the first mistake out of a dozen he had chosen to elevate, but it still rankled. Then again, perhaps it was a well-timed warning.

    Asa stood.

    "Ishani will secure this one. For Macantaghee, I declare him outlaw and call the Blood Hunt."

    Just an FYI I thought we'd have a few more posts then shift to Eternal Court where Asa will make the announcement and begin threads.

    A sudden, fierce, grin flashed across Wilhelm's features for an instant. One that would not really leave Asa with much doubt that Wilhelm would relish getting his hands on the former Deputy. Or, probably more accurately, sink his blades into the wayward Mekhet. "Understood Sire. I should also mention what I learned form the other objects. Using the Machete, Lars was apparently the one to slice open the late Deputy Obsidian before Mr. Malevich was placed inside of her. The reflection of the helmet visor indicated that Macantaghee was present at the hospital and placed a phone call, possibly to bring Lars to the scene."

    The information divulged, Wilhelm slipped the latex gloves back on. It was such a simpler task when you were dead, and your hand did not give off any oils or moisture that would make them stick. Then he searched both Lars and Macantaghee's discarded clothing to see if he could find their cell phones. The information gained from such a search could prove invaluable to him.

    The fury etched on Arnold's face gave way to terrible satisfaction in response to the Prince's ruling on the matter. This time would not be like the last Bloodhunt, which had not gone well. This time there would be results.

    "Excellent, your Majesty. He won't escape Sacramento alive. If Lady Naetesh is to see to Lars I would gladly escort you to Court so that the announcement can be made."

    Arnold knew from experience that Asa was more than capable in combat, and hoped that The Prince didn't take his asking as doubting Asa's abilities.

    Too much has been betrayed to our enemies. Information. Locations. Personnel. Mac must know we would be coming for him, being Mekhet himself. It would not do for the Prince to travel unguarded tonight.

    Michael listens to the information passed and refrains from making eye contact with the Reeve, he understands the weight of this blood hunt being called and gears turn in motion for him. Whether it be the Reeve or the Carthians, either way the more attached they are to finding this Macantaghee the better. But if he was at the hospital, then how long had he been following me?

    Then he hears Culler's offer to escort the prince and figures that means him as well being that he drove with him.

    Again, the slight jaw clenching. Despite not knowing her well, or her Covenant, Obsidian had been Blood -- family.

    After exchanging a glance with the Hound, he turned back to nod to Arnold.

    "Let's go."

    End Scene -- I'll post an entrance in Eternal Court.
