Rusty Warehouse, Freeway, Woods

Night has fallen, and it has been one hell of a day for the young Changeling, and much to think about, her newest guest had left to go finding items, and bring them here. The shop is locked, and the warehouse is closed up for the evening, well post the hours of a reason time for someone to be shopping, and then she can hear it loud as a gunshot, the breaking of a window, and then a few soft voices talking out in the warehouse, and they are speaking too low to be easily heard.

It's the kind of night that ends in the bath with a bottle of wine. Not a glass, but a bottle. Nude, soaking, drinking, steaming off the weight of the day... there's that crash. Sitting up, the dregs of the bottle get knocked over and spilled. Climbing out of the tub, she grabs an oversize t-shirt and some shorts to struggle her way into, cause she's wet. Then it's a hurried trip to the three story tall spiral staircase.

There might be regrets about being so far off the ground.

The sound of voices, can be heard around the warehouse, and softly spoken for a moment, there are four of them up ahead, and there is the sound of the wind, coming through the hole. It seems they have yet to move from that spot, and they have yet to spot her it seems, and they are arguing over something.

Not used to sleeping indoors anymore. Walter took a while to pick a spot in the warehouse to tey to sleep the night in. The darkest, quietest, and most caveish corner he could find ended up drafted. Bed was just a piece of canvas on the floor with hides pulled on top of him. He fell asleep like the dead and it took some time for the noise to rouse him. Sitting up, he listens to the noise to try to place it. Guests? Late night work?

Creeping down the stairs, barefoot and angry (they interrupted her soak!) and more than a bit tipsy, Charlie, pauses to sniff at the air before finishing the trek to the floor. She knows this place and the maze of racks and work stations and massive industrial shelving. Drunk she might be, she still has the home field advantage as she starts creeping towards them.

The voices are getting louder, and then they are drop back down, and they start to move now, it seems they are seeking a something in the warehouse. Moving slowly, staying low they are trying to hide, but given how little they know of it, easy for the two changelings to follow.

Walter grumbles to himself as he gets up to his bare feet. He stands still, listening and looking. "Of course. The first night Inget to actually...." He shakes his head nand his brows smoosh together as he listens. "It is never simple." He doesn't even try to be sneaky as he walks through the warehouse to follow the voices. As hw gets close enough he starts to talk. "Wondering if this is a safe place? It definitely will not be if you keep sneaking around after hours." Looming as the giant he is while talking.

Charlie hears Walter and grins in the dark, turning her prowling to try and pincher the group of people between herself, Walter, and some racks. Best to stay hidden - she's small but fierce, these days.

A scream of fear escapes the boys now, and that they are seen they are 13 to 15, and wearing leather jackets sliced up it seems with some sort of blade, there is blood on them, it is a look of deer in headlights, and then the tallest steps forward."Sorry man, and we thought it was not lived in, and he chased us here, and said run or die like fucking bob."

"Not lived in makes it okay?" Asks Walter with a raised brow. "Why do you not call the police? Unless....tou are doing things that you should not." Right hand goes into his pocket. "Who is Bob and who is He?"

Charlie slips up behind the boys, breathing in their scents before straightening to her not-so-scary height. Especially when compared to Walter's towering form. He has twenty-eight inches on her. "They're kids, Walter. And it's still around, I think. Let's get them upstairs where it's safe and go hunting."

"Bob is bob man, and he is a good dude, I mean and he was till he cut him in the middle, and fucking throw him at us." The boy in the lead takes a deep gulp of air, and then the others are holding them mouths, with that look of upcoming puke."We sneak into this bar you know, with these bad ass fake id, my brother got us, and having a good time. We slipped out the back to piss, and there he was he offered us a ride to a better party with pot, and we went with him.....he brought us here, and said showtime mother fuckers. I never got a good look at him, or these guys."

At the girl jumping out of nowhere, the kids eyes are wide, and then gulp down air."Yeah safe, and he is still fucking here, and he said he wanted us next."

"I know they are." Says Walter with the edge starting to fade. Grumpy bear is grumpy about being woke up. He listens to them and pulls his hand from his pocket. "Dis you notice.anything weird about him? Smell, skin tone, eyes? Anything." A pause. "I am sorry about Bob." He nods at Charlie and motuons towards her. "Go with her. She will get you somewhere safe. I am going to find your big hammer or something."

"Mm, alright. Come on. I'll get you up stairs and we'll take care of this fucker for you." Charlie says, beckoning for the boys to follow her. "Be careful, Walter. It hunts for fun, not to eat." Never trust a predator that kills for pleasure. On the way back, she takes the shortest route she can to get to the stairs.

There are tire tracks leading out of there, as if someone was in a rush, there is a blood and a few bits of flesh on the ground, next to where the car was, and not a body at all. The blinking lights of cameras all over the warehouse, now and something oddly quiet about the night, it seems like the animals fled, or hide from the thing that was here, and the gravel is torn up, the only odd thing to be seen is the car seemed to be a limo, resting for a long time, as if he was setting it all up, and watching the kids.

While Charlie is getting the kids upstairs, Walter is doing a little gathering. First owl feathers are pulled from his pocket to put behind his ears. Catch for the first clause in contract of Dread so he can see in the light. Then it's to the tools. A sledge hammer and crowbar are grabbed. With the tools in hand its over to the window to look out before going outside. He stands there, just outside the door looking around and waiting for Charlie. Still barefoot even with the gravel.

Charlie settles the kids into her personal space and leaves them to join up with Walter outside. No weapons needed - she comes with hers attached. The sight of flesh and blood and tire tracks is enraging. It's a blind sort of rage. She hunks down and rakes her claws through the tracks and the blood, bringing to her face to breathe in scents. Dead set on hunting the prey.

Walter shrugs at Charlie not taking the crowbar and he keeps it in hand with the hammer in the other. "Some kind of movie?" He nods his head towards the cameras. "Do you think they can help us find who did this?" And with that he walks towards the nearest one. "Hello? Are you in there? I need to talk to you."

"Those aren't mine." Charlie snaps, temper short. Someone touched HER home, chased kids into HER warehouse. Put their cameras on HER place to snoop on her. Flicking the bloody dirt out of her hand, she stalks towards where Walter is. "I hope you're watching, pretty boy. I'm going to do to you what you did to Bob." Her voice feral, the growl building in the Beast's throat.

The light on the camera is off, it is no longer blinking, each of them follows suit, it is like someone disconnected, and the fear had take them. The sound of a motor can be heard now, and then it is hauling ass off into the night, the sound of honking and screaming is heard, it seems that limo is going to never stop moving.

The car is weaving in out of traffic, moving quickly, in the wrong direction right now, and then he is swinging on to the highway, and he settles in like normal now, and driving out of town. He is relaxed, nothing can get him right, and he is dressed all in black, and his hand is resting on the wheel, and then out of nowhere comes one made ogre, and he does not notice yet.

Walter narrows his eyes as the light go off. "Coward!" Is bellowed a them and he head snaps around as he hears the car. "No. NO!" The crowbar clatters into the gravel and his muacles visibly swell as he calls upon the very Stone for their strength. The seams of his clothes split a bit as he launches into a sprint. Free arm.scooping Charlie up like a child as he passes. "Hold on!" He's on the hunt. Bare feet take him humanly, impossibly speeds on the chase. Along the roads and sidewalks, weaving around cars and obstacles as he goes. A wide grin pulls across his face as he catches up.

Hold on? OH SHIT. There's a squeak as she's scruffed up and stuffed under an arm like a tubby football for the hard, insane sprint of the Ogre as he catches up with the catch. Impossible!

The car is speeds up now, it is about to turn off, the door is facing Walter, with a slowing down for the sharp turn, that is when the ogre acts with a quick burst of speed, ripping off the door to the passenger side of the limo, and he is throwing the girl towards it, almost missing it but, she is able to move her body in a such a fashion to head right into it, landing on the seat right now to the driver, who screams not losing control, but pulling over to the side of the road, burning rubber and leaving treads in the grass, as he pulls off into the woods, with a odd slumping of his body, he is wearing a V mask, and there is a laptop open with a live feed."Your family is dead now frank, you failed me you worthless loser." The man on the screen speaks, and then he looks at the girl."Good job."

Door removed and disposed of with Charlie inside, Walter contines to follow the car. If only he was green, they could film it for Hollywood. Off the road and towarss the woods. Odd. Not a good way to get away. His feet slide through the grass as he cones to a stop and he leans down to look inside.

Tumbles into a tangle of limbs, uncurling and reaching for the driver when the man on the laptop says he's killing the other's family. "What the flying fecal fuck is going on?" She snarls, staying her claws from the driver for the moment.

"My game was simply, this for Frank, to drive me and the boys to that warehouse, for me to kill Bob." The man watches them now, there seems to be a smile on his face, but it is all distorted, so is his voice it sounds like a Muppet or a chipmunk."But then, the boys were to run, and I was to watch it, Frank was to escape, and I would allow his child and wife to go home, now he failed to escape, and now they will die." The voice chuckles now, and the head is beaming with rainbows coming out of it's mouth as he looks at them."But the boys will be allowed to live for now, the next stage of my game is in one week, and well frank will not be playing do with him as you wish."

Walter leans into the car, listening to the guy on the laptop. "Oh. A game. I have one for you too. Come deink coffee woth me. If will be a great game." He touches the laptop and calls upon Animation to learn about it. What's it doing? Where's it going? "Japan. Maybe. Or Russia. But I do not think either are right if he was here."

"Probably using a fake thingy. Relaying if you're getting more than one location." Charlie murmurs. And that's about the extent of her knowledge about things people can fake on the internet. "Frank. Where's your family?"

"Neat trick, your on my list now big man, and you can touch shit and find out stuff, that is epic as fuck." The voice is comes through now, and then the devil appears, as the man stands up, fire behind him, big red curled horns, and a one big long middle red finger is pointed at the screen."Now then fuck the fuck up, and then fuck the fuck off, and I got a family to carve, and they will be in the meat packing distract, in 48 hours if you wanna pick em up, might get sold first, gave cut em up real good, and get paid for my meat." The voice is chuckles now, there is more of a primal beat to it now, it seems each filter changes his voice, and then the camera blinks off, and smoke is pouring out of the laptop.

Frank looks at her now, with a little choking sound, as if he is choking down the sobs."I don't know, I was drugged, and they were gone when I got home

"I am?" Walter smiles widely. "Good. Come get me. I am hard to miss." A hand is used to shield his face from the laptop. Just on case. No explosion? The hand lowers and henlooks at Frank. "You know he was planning to kill them from the beginning, right?" Blunt as the hammer he dropped. He grabs the laptop and lets out a heavy breath. "Maybe Widget can fix it. We shoupd get him somewhere safe.", I went out for a night cap, after a long day at the office." His voice is soft, as he looks down at the smoking laptop."It was there in my daughters bed, and he was waiting for me, and he told me the rules, and he told me the rules, and then I picked up those boys and him, and then....."He falls silent, and his eyes locked down, on the burning laptop, the smell of plastic is filling the car.
