Chapter 57: Stepping into the Belly of a Cult

“One day to do all this. How are we going to ensure that’s what happens?”

“There’s a group there right now that’s recorded routines and potential informants. We’ll walk in with targets selected for us. Arianna will get to pick which person she speaks with. It’s our just to ensure that she stays safe. You are a backup if we need a cover story. Think about it. If there’s any media coverage. You’re investigating and have no comment.

“Well… Most of the time. They consider those vampires their version of the criminally insane, and they deal with them inside their faction.”

“Ah, good to know. So, where is this exactly that we’re meeting, and what is porting?”
