The ex decetive turned Priest Mark Anniochi stepped off the plane in Mexico, feeling the hot dry wind whipp about his face.  He knew he must get to cascadia but caution demanded that he travel accross land and come to the city through his own means. Deffenattly not public transportaion as it is most often watched by those godless deamons.  If the suspisions were true and the kindred were actually involved with the attacks on the church....

Father Marks firsst stop was the chapple where he spent several hours communing with his god.  Befor he left he found the local Father and convinced him to sell his old van for a hefty profit.  Mark then when and got all of his head shaved off as to throw off any connections with himself and the priest who exited the plane.

1 week later:
Marko A as he was now calling himself drove into cascadia for breakfast.  He ate at a small dinner and then went to the seeder part of town to purchase a room.  Marko went all over town that day photographing all of the churches which had been burnt down or where the clergy were found dead in.  Thru his contacts in rome he managed to recieve the police reports from the cascadian police department.  Ith information was sent first to Rome and then thura clearing system  and finally to him in his little room in southern cascadia.  The Priest spent the next few nights studying the information.  It was vague like it had been edited by the kindred, which it probibly had.  But the fact that they were editing was a clue in its self.

Finnally he was ready to go forth to the masses and do some field work.  He Dressed in the style of the day.  Which had not changed from his days on the streets.  a pair of jeans and a motercyle t-shirt.  He covered his cross and put on his ring.  Marko said a prayed quickly and left to go visit the local bars.

((weeee let the games begin...........

Cain receives a report from the Assamite guard capt.  His guards have seen several people new kine in the city looking at the desecrated churches.  They show Cain several photos.  There are a few that it could be but Cain knows only one of them is a Hunter for the Church.  Cain studies the photos and tells the capt to have them all fallowed descreatly.  The guards should use every means at their disposal to avoid being detected, and only senior guards should be used.  Cain cursed under his breath and dismissed the capt.  He wrote a quick note to Batgirl and called in one of the guards that look over her and Cappa Catta do deliver it.


Dearest::

The church has hunters in the city now.  Come see me at your earliest conveniance.

                  Cain


After the guard left with the note Cain picked up the phone and called Sorenti.  He would need to know also......

(((Were the church,Were the church,Were the church,..we make things holy and true...we hunt things we dont understand down like animals we make them scream and cry and pain, Were the church,Were the church,Were the church,...Cha cha cha!

Sorenti listened to Cain's voice and sighed heavily....

"Well they say it never rains but it pours, everything comes at once....well I am sure you have people on it already...but thanks for the heads up...I'll keep my ears open. Keep me updated on your findings.....yep...bye"

Sorenti hung up and stared at the phone for a while....hmmm Hunters for the Church? now what the hell were they doing in Cascadia? Sorenti rifled through the recent newspaper headlines....dismayed at finding nothing...then he switched on his computer and began to dig for any recent events within the church.

   The sun set the dusk sky ablaze in an alabaster glow. High in the atmosphere the gases burned and created the beautiful sight. Gabriel sighed from his tinted car and took another long drag from his cigar.
   Scanning the street once more Gabriel let his eyes rest on the car that had sat there nearly an hour now. He had followed the car, watching it stop church by church. Gabriel himself had been performing checks on the remaining Cascadian churches, making sure Valek had not shredded them to pieces. He had noted that this particular car sat at many of them. Suspicious he had begun to follow the car.
   Now as the sun dropped slowly below the horizon and the stars came into focus Gabriel watched it still. The engine purred to life and the reverse lights blared on. Gabriel threw his car into drive and pulled out of his parking space ready to follow.....


((you know damn well if any Holy shit's goin down, Gab's bout it bout it...

Marko started his search in the places where the undead don't usually hunt.  Small working man bars.
He spent the whole night carousing with the locals and learning the religious belifes of many of them with out there knowledge.  Noticing a neclace here or a dropped saying there.
His ring was tingeling slightly when he went out side to smoke a joint with one of his new friends.
They were out there and wondering who he was.  Not a religious man?... would a priest or hunter expose himself on a dark night and get high?.. am i watching the right man?.  But the priest never inhaled and his faity in the lord was emence.  after learning about these creature and what they are capable of doing it made his faith in the one and only almighty god more powerfull.

Marko went back inside with his friend and sat and talked about all of the violence in the city for a coulpe more hours. at the end of the night he drove the other man home and went to his little apartment himself.  the seals were all still intact on the windows and on the door.  He waited till after breakfast to get any sleep.

((Nice stuff :) ))

Her work at the Cappadocian Catacombs was finished for the night.  As Batgirl opened the door to the street she was surprised to see one of the Assamite guards standing there, his hand raised to knock on the door.  

"Madam, I bring you a note from Cain of Clan Assamite"

Batgirl read Cain's note quickly then asked the guard to escort her directly to Cain.  She wasn't going to take any risks especially now there were hunters in their city.  To her relief the guard agreed to deliver her safely to Cain.  She wrapped her cloak about her, careful to hide her green kindred eyes and then walked the short distance to the Assamite haven.

~batty~

((Didn't I tell ya Valek, the church are vengeful, now dun look what you've caused, there about to strike down on us with furious anger... lol this is gonna be interesting ;)

((Indeed :) ))

:Drain receicved word shortly after midnight of aome one hovering around the churches and photographing them.  He called Lathirous to him and releaved him of his nights duties.  And instructed him to find this man and report back of his where abouts.

:Latherious the next night had a report to give his master of the mans where abouts he was staying here in the Dock in a rented room.

D "Good we should send him a welcome to the city gift some time"  "Pick out a girl as a gift for him.. someone new and who isn't sure who you are.  We are getting some new girls in either tonight or tomarrow send one of them. "

L  "is that wise?  it would be like hanging a steak around your neck and kicking a hungery dog"

D :smiles:" yes it would be something like that wouldn't it. But is suspect that he knows that we are here. He is after one thing i think.  so we must find out what that one thing is then we will have something to give to the others."
