He did as Vera asked, heading down to the basement where their little werecat friend was still locked away. Walking to the door Hamish used the amulet used to keep him locked in with magic and released the lock. Once the door swung open Hamish looked in seeing Alejandro sitting down on the bed. "You ready to save the world?" Hamish threw Alejandro's knife to him. "Vera needs your help. We have a vampire situation on our hands."

Alejandro caught the knife and stood up looking at Hamish. "If you are letting me out then you must be very desperate or you finally saw things my way."

"Actually, the thing about that." Hamish smirked. "Baby's a werewolf now."

"Really?" Alejandro raised a brow and nodded his head. Stepping out of his cell he patted Hamish on the back. "Well then, congratulations pops, good luck with the little furball. Now let's go get a vampire."

"Really? That's it?" Hamish shouted at him as Alejandro walked down the hall. "No sorry I almost killed your….whatever." Hamish followed after him. "Hey, we need to pick up one more member of our plucky vampire hunting party."

(Outside a bar)

Alyssa Drake walked out of the bar following a particularly drunken looking man. Her pale skin and dark set eyes made her look more like a living doll than a human being but then again she wasn't feeling very human these days. She didn't know what she wanted but she did know that this man had it. Short shoulder length golden curls were pulled back into a tight bun, lips painted red. The man didn't even notice her follow him down the hallway as he stopped to unzip his fly and start peeing on the side of a building.

Alyssa walked closer, hearing his heartbeat and smelling his blood rushing inside his veins. All in one moment Alyssa knew exactly what she wanted from him, she knew what she needed from him. As he zipped his fly back up and turned to look at Alyssa he smiled at her. "Hey there beautiful." Alyssa hadn't stopped her pace heading towards him. Opening her mouth her teeth transformed into rows of sharp shark like teeth, her bottom jaw dislocating as she snarled. His screams echoed down the alleyway, cries of terror and pain as blood sprayed up the wall and Alyssa crouched over her meal ripping his throat out. The body fell limp, blood soaking the ground around him before Alyssa grabbed hold of his wrist and bit down into the body once again.

(At the den.)

"You want me to do what?" Lilith asked, looking between the two tall men.

"Hunt down Alyssa Drake." Hamish replied.

"Who is now a vampire." Alejandro tried to clarify.

"And who the hell are you?" She asked, glaring at the Brazilian man.

"Oh, I forget you haven't been to the temple in a while. This is Alejandro. He's like us only not like us. He's a…"

"I'm a jaguar warrior."

"I was just going to say werecat but that works too."

Lilith looked at the werecat and scoffed. "A cat, like a kitty cat? Lame." She looked back to Hamish. "And what do you expect me to do?"

"From that mark on your face it looks like you've had some pretty deep contact with the demonic realm." Alejandro commented. "Could come in handy when it comes to facing a vampire."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because, between the three of us one vampire could still take us all down. Luckily with your demonic abilities we just might have the advantage."

Hamish stopped Alejandro for a moment. "Wait, could you please repeat that part about being able to take all three of us on?"

He looked back to Hamish, "Yes, and that is in the hopes she hasn't started turning thralls."

(At the temple)

Vera took in a deep breath before walking through those wooden doors to the room the council had gathered in. Holding her chin up as she always did she made certain to wear her black robes. Maybe a few weeks ago hiding her pregnancy wasn't that difficult but it was becoming more and more obvious by the week which was why she knew it was about time to come clean about it. "You may be wondering why I called you all in today?"

"Is this about Kepler's death or the disappearance of Alejandro?"

Vera raised her finger, "Actually Alejandro is still working on the investigation and I would like to quell any susptions of him being missing. He's just busy and he'd be here today if I hadn't sent him out on something very important with one of my magistratus."

"I'm guessing this is about your relations with the werewolf then." Vera paused a moment a little shocked that they knew.

"We were informed by some acolytes."

"Well then, that statement isn't completely untrue." She paused a moment. "I have become very close with one of the werewolves."

"How close exactly?"

Vera crinkled her nose up a little and folded her hands in front of her. "Weeeeell."

(Outside the Marand home)

"She can't be that bad." Nichole followed Jack while he looked behind him. Jack had been on high alert since they'd gotten here. "Also, do you think it was really a good idea to take Vera's car?"

"I mean, I still had the keys and yes, she's very bad. She had a whole army of walking dead people coming after us. Trust me Nichole, she's not the sort of person you want to piss off."

As they walked up to the door Jack jumped back hearing it swing open, tall, dark, and spooky standing there with her arms crossed. "I knew you would be coming back." Jack stepped back staring at her and raising his hand like he was about to blow her into the demonic realm. Actually Jack still wasn't clear if that wasn't where she had come from. "I do hope you are here to return my necraphone, for your sake."

Jack shrugged his shoulders and smiled a little, "Actually Vera sent us here to ask for your help."

Ms Marand let out a little huff, she was almost insulted. "Vera Stone? The woman responsible for my sister's death? I'd rather see her burn in hell than help her."

"See the problem is as nice as you think that might be. I sort of…" Jack paused a moment. "I raised Alyssa from the dead and we need your help to fix it."

"You did what?"

"I know, it was stupid."

Ms. Marand narrowed her eyes at him. "No, I'm surprised someone like you were capable of it."

(back on the streets)

"Well, she's been here." Lilith said looking at the bloody wall.

"Yeah." Hamish picked up the severed arm and waved it a little. "But where's the rest of this guy."

Alejandro looked over the wall before kicking at a blood soaked trash can. "Likely already following it's master around."

"That's not good." Lilith injected.

"Let's hope this is the only one so far, I don't know about you but I'm not interested in facing an undead army." Alejandro looked back to Hamish. "In the worst case scenario Hamish I want you to get out if things turn for the worst. You can't risk your life considering you have a child on the way."

"And you can't really tell me what to do, I'm acting temple magus."

Alejandro put his hands on his hip, "I'm a member of the gnostic council, I outrank you."

"Yes Hamish, it would be horrible if your glorified fuck trophy had to grow up with daddy issues."

Hamish narrowed his eyes at Lilith, "That's..."

"Sorry was that harsh of me to say? I mean it would suck for your crotch fruit to grow up with Alejandro playing daddy."

Hamish continued to glare at her, "No."
