WHO || Faith Lehane, Max Rast, Lissa Dragomir, Helen Magnus
WHAT || The Knights investigate a string of vampire attacks in France
WHERE ||Paris, France
WHEN || April 11th, 2015 [backdated].
HOW || Actionspam. Single thread.

One vampire attack is cause for worry enough, but when bodies are found with telltale puncture wounds and heavy loss of blood become a recurring nightmare across any city, alarm bells are raised.  Such is the case recently in Paris, where Wynn suspects that either a careless clan has moved in, or some lone vamps are stirring up trouble.  With the locations of the bodies marked out in the eight block radius where the deaths have been occurring, the team arrives in the late evening, staring at the rows of apartment blocks, small businesses, and pubs that comprise this section of town.

[That itch to run is there, but she knows that she can't just abandon this. Nodding in response to his comment and the hint of something in his eyes and to convince herself to turn away and head back to London, she takes a breath and reaches for his hand. Giving it a single squeeze she allows for that before she lets go and heads back to the plane.

She'll go back to London with the bodies, debrief Wynn on what she knows about Helen. Mostly what she doesn't know about Helen's situation - and how the vague replies about her contacts made her unsure, but she knew she couldn't stick around Paris when they'd already lost so much. Then she'd make a request for some time off. Tell him that she just wants to clear her head and refocus on being better for the team - with the emphasis on team, because she doesn't want a repeat of what just happened. She'd pack a bag that night and be on the next flight out. Successfully missing the chaos and disaster that is to come to the first place that's felt like home to her... for as long as she can remember.

ooc: For the record!! I am totally down with actually playing this out in backdated what have you if you want to. No rush at all, either, since... ha ha ha so many things!!]
