Jennifer and Joshua Tripp waited outside of club Ember. They had spent a little while inside, had a few drinks, scoped the place out, and then Jenni had spotted their target.

*Yeah, he's here.* She sent to Josh through their telepathic link. With a barely perceptable nod toward the door, Josh got up and paid their bill. When he stepped outside lighting a cigerette, Jenni was already waiting for him.

*We wait for him to get to his car, then you can pounce.* Josh sent to her as he casually took a drag and looked up and down the street. Out loud he asked. "So, sis, where to next?"

*Ok, got it* Jenni smiled at him. "I don't know, the ladies in there weren't entertaining enough for you?"

Josh shrugged. "It's California sis, there are naked women all over the place here."

Then, the target came out of the club. He looked over at them and smiling at Jenni, headed toward them.

*Here he comes.* She sent, giving the man a shy smile.

*I know, I'm not blind.* Josh sent back as he watched the man approach his sister.

"Hey." The man said to Jenni, almost entirely ignoring Josh. "How are you doing this evening?"

Jenni giggled and made some polite response. She chatted the guy up for about ten minutes, then he suggesteed a party not far away. With an enthusiatic smile, Jenni bid her brother farewell and walked off with him.

She talked with him a bit as they made their way to the car, asking his name (which she already knew) and making general conversation. When they got to the car, he unlocked and opened the pasenger door for her and she got in. Once he got into the drivers seat, she gently placed her hand on his arm and leaned forward as if to give him a kiss. Then, she let her mental abilities loose.

The man nearly slumped forward, catching himself on the steering wheel. "What the-" He started, then looked at the woman seated next to him. Her smile had vanished and a murderous look came into her eyes. "Hey honey, are you ok?" He asked, his voice slurring just a bit.

"No, not really." Jenni said a slow smirk spreading across her lips. "But I will be soon. So, tell me Mark Taggard. Do you remember where you were on April 12, 1986 by any chance?"

Mark looked up at her with eyes glazing over. "I-What?"

Jenni frowned. "You know Mark, April 12, 1986, the day you were driving like a maniac and rammed into another car? The car my mother was in!" She hissed.

"Wait, wait." Mark said, weakly waving his hand in a gesture of surrender. "No, you have it all wrong. That wasn't me, that was him. I was trying to catch him, so I could get rid of him. I mean, I know he looked like me, but he wasn't." Mark was talking rapidly now. "It-it was a fetch. It's hard to explain-"

"Oh? It's hard to explain is it?" Jenni said with a snear. "How about explaining to two kids that their mom died because some asshole couldn't watch where he was going? Do you think that was difficult to explain, Mark?"

Mark shook his head meekly. "No, no that wasn't me."

"Yes it was, Mark." Jenni said moving close to whisper in his ear. She placed her hand on his arm once again and Mark looked even more confused.

"You see, Mark, you killed my mother. And, now that you know, you feel so horrible about it you're going to take your own life tonight." Jenni said softly.

"No." Mark said, but his voice was weak and his will to fight just seemed to be gone.

"Oh yes, Mark." Jenni said. She opened the door and got out of the car. Josh was standing on the otherside of the car, by the driver's door. He was looking down at the man with hatred in his eyes. He looked up at his sister.

"Is he ready?"

Jenni nodded. "He's ready"

Then, Mark Taggard started the car. He pulled out of the parking space and sat at the exit of the parking lot, waiting. After a few minutes, a semi was seen in the distance driving at a good pace toward them. Just as the semi was about to reach the exit of the parking lot to club Ember, Mark hit the gas and shot out into the road. Right in front of the semi. As the sound of shattering glass, screeching breaks, and tearing metal rang through the air, so too was the sound of a woman's laughter.

FADE TO BLACK......

Grace was sitting in her office, doing paperwork when she heard the screeching brakes and the unmistakable sound of car on car impact. Not again! Grace jumped up and nearly ran out of the room. She motioned to two of the bouncers to follow her out.

She saw the mangled car and the semi. Oh, gods, Grace thought as she pulled her cell phone out of her pocket and called 9-1-1 while running over to see if anyone was hurt.

~~NARRATION~~

The car is completely totalled and most of it is under the stopped semi. It is nearly impossible to see inside the car, but there is blood spray on the road and on the shattered windows. It is easy to tell that no one could have possibly survived this crash.

Please make a wits + composure roll.

As Grace gets closer to the car, she realizes this car belongs to a Changeling. A Mark Taggard, Beast-Windwing and a member of the Winter Court. Or rather a former member if that is him in the car.

(ST note, if you wish to continue the investigation of this thread, please move to the Changeling IC forum, END ST note)
