I proudly called myself Arthur Pendragon&#39;s man, once upon a time...

Exsqueeze me, I would like to know what the merry fuck is going on over there. 'Retired' doesn't mean you guys can cut me out of the mailing list.

From:

I'm truly sorry, dearest, but things have been moving far too swiftly to breathe, much less report in...and the spirit of the city isn't helping.

Nahuel is in Michigan. He's affecting the entire city, and he's ensnared two already, Hank and a local witch. We've secured the witch, but Henrietta...

She went missing recently. My son took measures, and...there's no delicate way to say it, but she was dumped at his place of business this morning.

From:

Is she dead?

From:

No. She's close, but no. Nahuel's fed deeply, and swore last night to kill her by the morn. My son worked a curse to stop him, but it's left Henrietta completely incapacitated until the curse can be broken and she can be allowed to heal.

From:

I'm gonna ask you something and I need you to be more honest with me than you've been with anyone in your life.

Do they need me?

From:

We still have Valkyrie and Faith, along with a new girl currently being trained. Still...

Baileigh, I am truly sorry.

From:

I swore to Julian I wouldn't put him through this anymore. After what happened before I quit...

Fuck.

From:

Baileigh, nobody is demanding a thing of you. We can handle this, we don't need another Slayer if you cannot do this.

You and Henrietta both retired for a reason. If you do not come, nobody will think less of you.

From:

Even if I don't pick up a stake, my family needs me.

From:

...yes.

From:

Then I'll be there as soon as we can get the wheels off the ground.

What do you mean it does not look good?

From:

Drastic measures were called for...my son, Jedediah, found her body this morning. That's a poor choice of words, she was found, but she's in poor shape.

Jedediah encountered the incubus, who threatened Henrietta's life. So, he laid a curse upon her for her own protection. A sleep near to death...it was, as I understand, the only way.

What do you mean bad shape?

[]

From:

[You doesn't have to, it's okay! :P]

Her energy is quite weak, or so Jed tells me. I haven't had a chance to examine her myself, so I don't know precisely how bad it is.

Her father is picking her up shortly. If you'd like to see her, she'll be at home.

From:

...I can't.

From:

Shit.

From:

She's not well, but for the moment she's safe. A curse was laid upon her to ensure the demon didn't kill her. It's easily dispelled, however...we simply need Joseph to pay her a visit.

From:

...Motherfucker.

That might be a problem, old man.

From:

...curse my narrow vision and these mottled destinies which suffer for my plague!!

What's happened?

From:

This'un ain't on you, s'on me. Shoulda never let the kid tag along, just figured if I didn't he'd take off on his own anyway an' he was safer with me than not.

We got jumped by the fucking incubus and his goonies, and it was tricky shit cause most of 'em were just humans under thrall, not vamps. I lost the kid. Best I can figure, demon took him alive.

From:

You did the right thing. Were he beyond your keep, Nahuel may have treated him as just another bystander and killed him outright. As a member of your team, he's more valuable alive.

What we must do now is reach him before he either gives the boy to his maenad, or breaks him personally. The incubus has more control over women than his female counterpart, but his dominion is over all living creatures.

From:

Think it's time I go tell Spike howdy and gather up the troops.

From:

Yes. I will work from my end. Jedediah's sight is not bound as mine is, I will see if he or a friend can possibly locate Joseph. I will also speak to a good friend of mine...Hank and Joseph's predicament is one, I am sure, that will move her to action.
