It was over as soon as it have begun it seemed, and there was blood all over the place. She thought she was going to be ill. She was almost in shock from the whole thing, only the words of the biog man shook her out of it. Staring up at him she shook her head, No..save my leg and that was broke when We arrived."
She looked to where the others were mourning over the young man. She didn't know him, she didn't know any of these people, and that alone made her fear rise up again Simeon she thought where are you? She desperately wanted to ave him here, if to tell her it was alright
For now though she was content to let the others take charge, she knew they were Garou, and that alone made them trustworthy.

Danny looked at Edward as if he was godsent. As the Ragabash rattled away on the phone, he turned to the two kinfolk.
"I am sorry to have led you both into danger like this," he said, and it was obvious he was saying it mostly out of guilt for Eric's death. "I am Danny, Silent Strider, Galliard, and currently ranking Garou at the Caern. Welcome to our small yet proud Sept."
Then he thought for a while as he overlooked the bodies. "Do you think it's just coincidence that they attacked when half our number, including our two best warriors, were away?" he said, half to himself, half to Aleksi who was standing nearest to him. "They don't quite seem to be human,"he knelt down next to one. They certainly looked human enough now, but when they were alive they had moved with such speed and agility, and they had been immune to delirium.

Edward got through to his contacts quickly enough, and they said they'd sent an ambulance promptly and very discretely. They also said they'd send a special car to get rid of the bodies without any trouble.
The bodies look normal enough. There is nothing to distinguish who they are or to mark them as a group except their weapons. They all seem to carry the same modified handgun and knives, with a silver trace along the blade, as if they were made especially for hunting werewolves.

You're sorry? Aleksi thought as he bowed his head respectfully That is something I've never heard a wolf to say. He piled up the equipment of the attackers in a distant corner of the room, including the silver-edged blades as he knew garou didn't like even to touch the Luna's metal. He removed clips from the weapons and bullets from the chambers just in case someone would stumble in the pile and cause an accidental shot to be fired in random direction. Guns should be treated with respect, they can kill you as easily as they can your enemies.
Then he offered this dark-eyed kinfolk his hand to help her in couch if she wanted assistance on getting in more comfortable position with her injured leg.
"I'm Aleksi Vuori, kin of Fenrir, a carpenter." he finally said in low tone to Danny, watching the windows, door and walls briefly "I can later help you reinforce this place if needed. Those doors and windows wouldn't keep even the thieves out."
He covered the faces of the dead before young wolf's contacts arrived with carpets and whatever clothes he could use as he thought what Danny had said. "They all look human to me. They bled and they died." Aleksi looked at the one he had killed with his shotgun and his face darkened "They all had mothers and fathers, friends and LIFE. They were not some nameless spawn of Devil sent to test your strength. They were men who thought they were doing their duty. For money or for Humanity to get rid of the monsters of the dark past as they must have seen you." Aleksi dared a quick look at werewolves present as he realised he had just said something almost heretical. Better change the subject...
"Do you have any kind of perimeter defence here, constant patrols or anything that lets you know if suspicious people are watching this place?" Aleksi tried to keep his tone down and didn't raise his eyes to meet Danny's, as both Tony and his father had beaten him up pretty badly before for speaking in matters that weren't kinfolk's business' "If they knew that half of you were gone, including the most dangerous ones in combat, they must have watched you a long time already. As in that case they must have found out caern's location, and who usually hangs out here. AND who are the most difficult ones to deal in open battle."

Kristina gratefully took the proffered hand as she struggled to her feet. Hobbling along next to him to the couch she sat down and looked about the carnage. There was blood everywhere. " I think he is right, and they are watching more than the caern, after all they were at the carnival as well." sighing she muttered a few prayers in Rom, for those who were lost to the after world. before looking back up at Danny "The question is what and who do they want?"

Kaleb lets Eric's head gently fall to the floor from his hands after Danny's inspection.
Family member gone, sad as it was it could have been more of them gone and dead. Standing up, he looked at Aleksi and held out his hand.
"Thanks for everything. It was a pleasure and honor fighting with you. As for the caern stuff, no idea. But sounds like a good idea and good questions." Kaleb brushed his hands on his pants and looked at Danny, wondering about the questions just asked and what should or needed to be done first.

Edward finished his phone call to his associates on his special phone, after most people didn't even carry mobile phones yet.
To the rest of the assembled Garou and kin (in English with a New York accent) 'For those of you I have not met or been introduced to, I am Edward Rockerfella, I run and own the Law firm of the same name down in town. I just came down to introduce myself to the local Garou today and met Kaleb. There will be an Ambulance and transport to get rid of the bodies shortly. Very discrete and under control.'With that said he waited for that to sink in, then continued.
'I also happened to have gotten rid of the evidence of the transgressions that went on over at the university also. I had the security tapes altered and have them returned to the police. Needless to say they were not too happy about it, but you'll find I am very well connected and there isn't much I cannot get done or do in this town.
Also I think ALexsi has a good idea with securing this place, i was thinking the similar thing earlier, maybe a security firm, surveillance and other security measures. Also I was thinking of getting everyone permits to carry guns in Berlin, but then again that depends on what you all think of those ideas as well. After all I am only new to this Caern and haven't even been accepted here as yet.'
With that Edward tried not to grimace in pain from his wounded arm and put the phone away and lent heavily against the wall for support, waiting for the medical attention to arrive.

Danny gave Edward a very puzzled and surprised look.
"Edward," he said, after a pause. "Maybe you should sit down, that arm of yours looks bad."
He helped Edward into a chair and examined his arm. "I think the bullet's still in there, you'll need to get it removed. It's silver," he said, looking at Edward's maimed arm. "We are very grateful, that breach at the University could have caused us some serious trouble. The others are supposed to be looking into it... they should be back by now." He frowned, worried about the others. They had been gone all day and all night, and he hadn't heard a word from them. Now it was was almost morning. It wasn't like them.
"Do you know anything about the murders?" he asked Edward.

By the time Edward's men came for the cleanup, the sun had started to rise. The fight had apparently stretched through most of the night. It was already midmorning by the time they had discretely taken care of the evidence and tended to Edward's wound. With the wound cleaned and the bullet removed, all that remained was for his Garou metabolism to work and heal the arm.
Eric's body was moved to a funeral home more interested in Edward's money than asking questions.
Moved things along a bit to get the day on. [/color]

Edward relaxes as best he can, after having just had a piece of the moon metal stuck in his arm. He starts to breathe a little more calmly now than just after leaving the kitchen and finishing off the goons with the guns.
'By the way I didn't catch all your names. And as far as i know with the campus murders, a child was kidnapped from the labs. Thats as much as i know from the tape. Oh and I photographed two kids appearing out of the umbra, before i left the campus too. Not sure if that is the two people you are referring too? But i have quite an array of resources at my finger tips to find information and access to pretty much anything in this town.'
'Bah..no i will have to get another suit, i just had this one made to fit.'
With that he sits back in the chair and gets as comfortable as possible, pulls a cigar from his breast pocket. Then fumbles for the zippo in his pants pocket and lights the cigar...takes a few breathes and enjoys the Cuban leaf.... and blows smoke rings into the air....
'Ahhh..much better..anyone else for one?'

Aleksi answered on Kaleb's gesture by taking his hand "It looks like we were a little late. And there is really no need to thank. I was just doing my duty." Speaking of duty, where was that scumbag, Herr Look-at-me-I'm-so-tough? Aleksi thought as he looked around for any sign from his brother. Half-brother, if you mind, he corrected himself inside his head.
"There are not that many ways to deal with security of a house. One is using cameras and razorwires and guns and stuff like that, but I doubt your enemies will care too much about that type of modern security. Other is hiding on a plain view. Make a place look like abandoned, meet somewhere near where you can guard the caern without giving away it's exact location by meeting at the caern every time you need to see each other. Besides, its always different thing to attack sitting ducks or moving target."
At the same moment language changed from German to English Aleksi sighed and made a very short walk outside to get his luggages. You could think you would survive in Germany if you knew how to speak German, but no, some damn kids in their expensive suits just have to show off how educated and smart they are he grumbled in his mind as he didn't understand a word of English. When he returned, he only gave a short look at this well-dressed kid when he heard his name was mentioned.
"I don't speak english." he said with tight lips in German "And I don't like hearing my name mentioned in any conversation I don't understand. I'm tired as hell, I've had an extremely terrible day and I need some sleep. If you need me, you can find me from there." Aleksi pointed at a couch just a few meters from him.
He sat down on the couch and took out his book, trying to read few verses to calm his nerves down. Unfortunately it seemed he was too tired as the small print just danced in his eyes and he couldn't make any sense out of what he was reading.
More than few times he looked at the gypsie and finally he gave up on his book. What am I whining about? At least I'm alive and I didn't break anything. He sighed and got up, walked to kitchen to take glass of water with him and took few painkillers from his pocket. My back is killing me, but at least it's not broken he thought and offered the water and pills to girl. "These will take the worst edge out of the pain."
Then he took better position on couch, took off his jacket and kevlar-vest, opened his belt and tried to find a good position to get some sleep.
His grumbling and groaning soon changed into loud snoring.

The conversation was moving too fast sometimes. But she did catch some of it. Enough to know that there was help on the way and someone to get rid of the bodies. She kept her head tilted as she watched them all. "My name is Kristina...I am Rom." And she smiled at that, for it was more than likely an obviously guess.
There was one thing bugging her still, what had happened to Jan. Looking back at Danny, she asked in slow German to make sure she pronounced it right. "What about Jan? What happened to him?" She was worried, he had been quite charming if in a shy almost hesitant manner, and the fact he was missing was disturbing.
Once all the excitement was over, she heaved a sigh of relief. She found that Edward seemed to be quite charming and engaging, and for some reason his manner and speech, seemed to catch her. She had rarely had the opportunity to be around people like him, unless she was helping the others run a scam for money or something of the like. As for Aleksi, he was a bit of a puzzle as he was quite different. And different in a way she couldn't figure out, yet. The fact that after all this he could just fall asleep was amazing in itself, she knew it would be hours before she was able to sleep.

Danny sighed and looked for a place to sit down. They would need to find a better way to communicate. He knew Simeon and Khristina were foreigners in these parts, and didn't speak the language, but then more than half the pack didn't speak English at all, and only two spoke it well. Of course, for them the Garou tongue was common, but for the kin they would have to find something else.
"We need to find a way to communicate," he said in German. "And I mean on all levels..." He was thinking now of the pack members who had been missing since the previous morning. "I think we all need some rest..." he said, switching to English once Aleksi had retired to the couch. "There's a room upstairs... why don't you get some sleep," he said to Khristina, "Kaleb can keep watch, and I'll scry for Jan. Don't worry, we'll find him."

It was a quiet ride back to the caern but Saxon had often noted that after a rumble. People went quiet once the initial bragging was over, the low after all that adrenaline had been poured into your system. Or maybe the realisation that it was not you carried off a bloody mess in the ambulance.
Either way they reached the caern in a reflective mood and entered, stopping and looking around at the damage and the others. "Well seems you have been having fun."
He grinned, "And you did not invite us to the party, good job we had one of our own." Which he supposed was self evident by the blood that covered the pair of them. He looked at Danny, "Well best we tell you what we been up to and then you can fill us in. We went to the University, found out that some professor had been experimenting on a Garou who had raged and wiped out a few. We met some other Garou, had a fight with some spirals, that was fun."
Saxon paused putting his thoughts in order, "We followed a lead to a office block and contacted some guy. But it was a set up, humans with dart guns attacked us and we killed a few, dammed darts are dangerous, really knock you down, must be formulated for us. Vasara tried to see if the contact could fly by throwing him off the building, he couldn't so that was a dead end."
Another pause, "Hmm Vasara has some notes if any one can make sense of them and he thought to bring the darts to see if we can find out who had them made. Think that is about all, probably missed some thing but Vasara will fill in any gaps. So what happened here?"

Vasara brandished the professors notes and placed the gun and notes on the table, grinning widely when Saxon mentioned the unfortunate accident their ambusher had with window and gravity. He then spoke in accented German, rolling heavily on R's "Yeah, that's about what we've been up to. The kid on the tape is named as Marvin by professor, and he is Red Talon and was hunted by Red Talons, we didn't find him yet but as Saxon mentioned, we did find pack of Spirals and we taught them how REAL garou fight."
"But there's the notes we got from professors cold, dead hands..." Vasara pointed at blood-stained notebook and continued "...there might be clues about Marvin but as I'm not doctor, I'll leave those to someone with the necessary knowledge to understand it." Vasara lowered his head and rubbed his temples as he tried to think did he forget anything.
"Oh and best part I almost forgot; we will soon be burning places again. We found out there's a whole laboratory somewhere in Berlin, it's purpose is to experiment us. Too bad I was too drugged and tired so I... accidently... threw our not-so-friendly host through the window before we got information on the exact place."
Vasara gave a good look at people present when he had finished talking, seeing several new faces. "I know, I have no manners, but lets correct that problem right now, I'm Tony Vasara, Fenrir half-moon, and as Danny is the highest ranking garou in the caern, I tend to be the bossy one in our Pack."
As Vasara had noticed there was new faces in the caern, there were also people missing "Is everyone in one piece? It seems we are not all here... Hey, isn't that..." Vasara noticed Aleksi sleeping on the couch. "So, he did find here without my help after all." Vasara grinned again and scratched his head, not being so sure how he should approach the relative he hadn't seen in years. Or should he approach at all before Aleksi had got his sleep.
Better let him sleep for now he finally thought.
