There are no sounds of alarm. No porch lights flick on or curtains twitch. It appears that you have escaped without alerting the Kine. Although you do wonder how far back Holden and the man with him would be. No doubt hiding the hidden access route would mean he would have to double back. Losing valuable time. Ten minutes down the road from the cemetery, Milton and Quinn note a red car passing near the vehicles. Quinn notes that its a new model Honda Accord with California liscense plates that start with X8AN. Yet it turns off on a side road and the tail lights fade away. There is no sign of anyone taking an interest in the Kindred as they undertake the long drive back to Sacramento.
Gabriel arrives prompty. Gabriel accepts the still Torpor'd form of Pope professionally. With a deep nod to Jack, a slightly lesser one to Quinn and acknowledgements to Connor and Milton, he takes Pope away to the designated area.
One goal was attained, yet so many events had spiraled out at the cemetery. What would you do to about the situation?
Yet tonight there was no time. The Kindred race the daystar home, reaching their Havens quickly.
