Bad moon rising - Lowrey Manor

As he had promised, three days prior to the full moon, Johnathon arrived at Christine's home with several days worth of clothing and his laptop packed.

Knocking on her door, he stood on the porch and waited.

She seemed to have been expecting him, because she answered the door herself.

"Johnathon. Hello."

"Good evening miss Lowrey" he smiled.

She moved so he could enter the house.

"You're room is prepped for you, if you'd like to put your things there before I take your weapons from you."

He held out a bag while entering. "You are most kind. "

She nodded.

"I want you to be comfortable, you know that."

Then she led the way up the stairs. Because the house was big.

He followed with a smile. "Tell me, I have not heard much how the clan is organized here. Who is the praetor ?"

She gave a half shrug.

"We haven't been very organized. But as Eldest, I will likely take it. Probably have a meeting this week. First Tuesday and all."

"Makes sense. I have some thoughts to express then too. "

She smiled.

"I'm sure you do. Can I have a taste of what you want to say? Tuesday is the day of the full moon. I need to know if you will need to be restrained."

"A proposal to work with the nos, and a little project that should get safehouses in all major cities and a transit network. Put my name on it, and it becomes protected anarch property so when this state falls apart, we have a functioning network. Also a thought that until the dust settles around here, the family takes a neutral stance on things. "

She nodded as the reached the room and she opened the door for him.

"Sounds reasonable. We will talk more on Tuesday."

"I look forward to it. I think I will remain in here tonight and work on a few things. "

She smiled.

"Of course. Now, are all your weapons in this bag?"

He pulled a damascus blade from his titanium handled carbon fiber walking stick before sheathing it and handing it over. "Now you have them all. "

She nodded.

"They'll be in my vault until it's time for you to leave. Thank you."
