ObfuscateThe Kine was listening. Good.
"Stick with me," she said.
With that, Benny would break out into a run, dragging the Kine with her as she moved to flee to her car.
The desired destination? Nox Populi, but not before she rounded out a few phone calls once they got there. First, however, they had to get to the car.

Raúl can feel the strength in that man's undead form as he manages to break free of the Savage's grasp. While the man feels stronger than him, Raúl feels more confident in his skills. His own muscular frame is filled with vitae, enhancing both his vigor and his resilience.
Raúl manages a meaningful glance towards Marcus and then the car and it's grisly contents. "Get the door," he manages to hiss out before attempting to grapple and subdue the man again, handcuffs clutched in a one of his hands.
Grapple (2 successes)
He manages to catch the man again, trying to keep his attention on him and not the others, shifting his weight foe the retaliation he knows will be coming.
OOC: Raúl's effective strength for breaking out of one of his grapples is currently 5. Vigor is active and he has Grappling FS

Benny has the mortal by the arm. The two are moving at a good pace away from the chaos in the park, leaving the quiet vehicle and the two still bodies of unknown men. The night air carries the voice of another woman, unaware of the deadly contest that has broken out in the park tonight. The woman's skin feels cold in Benny's hand. Benny manages to reach her car. The woman is breathing in panicked gasps. What will Benny do now?
The unknown Kindred makes a low, angered growl as the Gangrel cinches in a hold on him. He feels very strong. Yet the Gangrel Whip is able to get more of an up-close feel of who this Kindred is- a dangling clinking sound shows a golden chain on his neck. From the way it moves, there is some jewelry hanging on it, perhaps a medallion. The unknown Kindred struggles, yet he does not break free.
What does Raúl do now?
A woman rounds the corner and walks into sight. The woman is petite and slim. Dark black hair is cut in a pixie cut. Her face is not immediately clear as her hand is held to her face with one of the latest phone models. She is dressed in a red velour tracksuit. Anyone who knows fashion would know this is expensive. She walks with the surety of someone who is unafraid as she marches towards the park, focused on her phone conversation.
"Yeah, I told you. See, didn't I say that. You gotta pay attention, Mick. Oooh. Is that supposed..." Her voice now trails off as she looks up. Her features are severe - straight nose, high cheekbones and pale eyes over powerful brows that could remind one of Beth Phoenix, the wrestler.

ObfuscateGetting to the car, Benny would hurry to the passenger side and open the door.
"Get in!" she said, herself panicked at the ensuing violence as she ran to the driver's side.
Then, Benny's gaze lands on the other woman.
Shit.
Benny couldn't afford to keep the victim here any longer, she was panicked and liable to flee at any other delays, but she had to do something to blunt or impede the tracksuit wearing woman.
"Stop! There's a fight in the park," Benny said, "I'm calling the police!"
A half-truth.
The warning given, Benny enters her car, ready to get the F out of H.

Blush, Blush, Blush, Marcus hears the whip and obeys orders. He just hopes he's not to late as he hears the approach of the jogging woman. Moving as quickly as he can he heads to the car and shuts the door attempting to hide the dead or dying inside.

Benny found that the victim was very amenable to leaving. She sits in the passenger seat, twisting in her seat to check on the status of the fight between the men. She continues to breathe quickly. Now that Benny has a moment with her, it is clear that she has been manhandled. Fingerprint bruises are beginning to rise along the collarbone. Her hair is wild and tangled. "Thank you," She gasps. "- he.. he came up while we were parked. Jackson," She makes a choked sob and cannot complete her sentence.
Raúl found himself holding a struggling Kindred. Marcus slams a car door. The woman approaches another five feet and hesitated. Her eyes follow Benny as she hastily gets into her car. The phone is lowered to her side. She looks concerned. Then the look becomes one of fright as she notes the strange man struggling with Raúl. She turns and sprints back around the corner. The sounds of the night life continue around you. Cars driving on neighboring streets. Distant rise and fall of voices.
What do you do?

ObfuscateBenny was soon underway, driving away from the park. The Shadow listened as the woman spoke, her eyes watching as the woman choked at the mention of 'Jackson.' Not a good sign. Dude was probably toast. All the more reason to get her out and evaluated by the Domain's officials...
If she hadn't seen too much, she might get out alive. Otherwise? Maybe it was better to drain her as soon as possible...
"It's going to be fine," Benny offered, "I'm gonna make the call and we'll go from there, okay? Then I'll get us somewhere safe."
With that, fingers went to rerieve her cell phone and she hit the contact information for one Helen Kingsley . Seems it would be up to her to get the Bug Gun involved after all.

Raúl took a bit of time struggling with this Vigor-enhanced Kindred. The Savage has his own strength to bring to bear but it's still a bit of a struggle until he finally moves to shove the offending vampire against the car (or ground) as he moves to slip on the pair of handcuffs.
He hears the click of the first wrist cuff ratchetting into place and will go to secure the other cuff next. Once he has the man's wrists secured, he'll glance around, seeing that there doesn't seem to be anyone around anymore. "You know how to drive?" he'll ask of Marcus, glancing towards the car and its grisly contents. "I say we get him and his car to the authorities. Check his pockets for the keys while I hold him..."

Benny has managed to secure the potential breach witnessing mortal and has the responsibility of escorting her away. Raúl and Marcus work to secure the unknown vampire into the car with it's critically injured or dead passenger. Together, the two are able to do so. The keys are not on the Kindred, yet they are found fallen from the injured man's hands on the floor of the park. The keys secured, the car is free to be driven away. There is a second unmoving man visible in the park. What do Marcus and Raúl do with him? We follow the two Gangrels here
