Henri hung up the phone after talking to Ren and immediately dialed McKay. She was definitely testing her phones battery tonight. But it was holding up well. And the land line was out of the question. Her pacing meant that she would be hopelessly tangled in mere seconds.

"Yo, mama."

"Jim, we've got a problem. By the name of Scion."

Methuselah Posts : 11082 Join date : 2010-03-19 Age : 560

He snorted. "That ain't a problem. That's a gnat. What's tha issue?"

Methuselah Posts : 3256 Join date : 2010-10-23

"The gnat threatened my life because I wouldn't give him intel on Sam's death."

Methuselah Posts : 11082 Join date : 2010-03-19 Age : 560

Short pause. "Whiny gnat. Got it. Ya call tha Sheriff?"

"Rai was my first phone call. Then Ren, then you. You available to spend tomorrow night over here? Rai's Warding the place, and I want you and Ren to have free access."

There was a pause. "Yeah, I can make it. Don't let Scion worry ya none. He's just gettin his hero complex on."

"I'm more worried for Ren than myself. But it's as good an excuse as any to instill Elder Paranoia into the girl."

Methuselah Posts : 11082 Join date : 2010-03-19 Age : 560

He smiled. "Don't worry 'bout Ren either, mama. I got 'er covered."

Methuselah Posts : 3256 Join date : 2010-10-23

She laughed.

"That makes three of us, Jim. And you can't ask a mother to not worry about her chick."

Methuselah Posts : 11082 Join date : 2010-03-19 Age : 560

He laughed. "Sure. But at tha same time, I don't think Mister White-Knight's hero complex will let him hurt a girl. Honest."

"Jim, I think the only reason our conversation tonight didn't devolve into a bloody mess and another dead kindred was because I forced it to happen in public."

Methuselah Posts : 11082 Join date : 2010-03-19 Age : 560

He sighed. "I'll keep an eye on him."

Methuselah Posts : 3256 Join date : 2010-10-23

"Doc's already following him, and will until the wards are in place."

Methuselah Posts : 11082 Join date : 2010-03-19 Age : 560

"No worries, then. I ain't particularly 'fraid of tha guy, but if ya think he's a problem, I'll babysit."

Henri chuckled.

"You're the Primogen, love. An independent Gangrel decides to threaten the life of one of your clanmates, you should be informed."

Methuselah Posts : 11082 Join date : 2010-03-19 Age : 560

He laughed. "Yeah. I just have a hard time takin that guy seriously."

Methuselah Posts : 3256 Join date : 2010-10-23

She nodded.

"He's good, Jim. I've seen him in action. He's a tool, yes. But he's a tool that I'm willing to give a little bit of worry over when he threatens my life."

Methuselah Posts : 11082 Join date : 2010-03-19 Age : 560

He snorted. "Yeah. Thing is, I'm better. I understand tha worry an' all. I ain't discountin it offhand. I'll keep an eye on him. But I ain't all that worried 'bout him."

Methuselah Posts : 3256 Join date : 2010-10-23

"And now that I've made the phone calls that my own worry demanded I make, I'm no longer worried."

Methuselah Posts : 11082 Join date : 2010-03-19 Age : 560

He chuckled. "Worryin give ya wrinkles."

Methuselah Posts : 3256 Join date : 2010-10-23

She laughed.

"Not any more, it won't."

Methuselah Posts : 11082 Join date : 2010-03-19 Age : 560

He laughed. "Ya might be surprised. Might happen all accidental-like one time."
