I've already called the Callahans, but I thought everyone else would care to know that Hank's been located.

And I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it does not look good.

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.

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.

Is she dead?

[pendragons-man.livejournal.com]

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.

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?

[pendragons-man.livejournal.com]

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

Baileigh, I am truly sorry.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

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

Fuck.

[pendragons-man.livejournal.com]

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.

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

[pendragons-man.livejournal.com]

...yes.

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