There's more than just bloodthirsty wolves out at night, so stay indoors after sundown unless you have a death wish. This place grows more dangerous by the night, and going out drinking is a great way to make yourself stupidly vulnerable. Keep your wits about you, already. It shouldn't be as hard as you're all making it out to be.

[Private to Coulson/Police Encryption]

Still unscathed? I've got a few leads on the factions that are sorting themselves out in the Northwest corner of the city. Headed over there tonight to get a closer look.

I do, actually. Even about those who make idiots of themselves.

[There's a dangerous current under her voice, and a power in it even over the device. This is a warning, girl.]

Be careful.

[She can hear that dangerous tone, but she's not too concerned.]

Funny, I don't remember that kindness early on.

Nice to see you've changed, Mom. [Slight sarcasm, but a semi-cheerful note in that. She's been fed and a in a much better mood.]

You're not giving me much reason to show you any. I take my duties seriously, whether you do or not.

Working tonight?

Even after I was just born? Being helpless and all, you could've sworn some. But, I suppose you have your reasons.

No, don't feel like it. The bar has one resident vampire, don't think it needs another.

[Keep that up, and she'll come for you herself. Don't endanger them all by exposing their secret. She would hate to destroy one she's just created, but she will, if it becomes necessary. Take care.]

You have a strange sense of humor, and I have no time for it. Don't get into trouble. You may bite off more than you can chew.

[Do they really have to hide? Werewolves are around them, people aren't blind to them. But, she won't question Lin...not yet.]

I do, but I get the feeling you do too.

How can I get into trouble if I'm near you? You never went over a few fine details.

[No, they don't have to, if they want to be avoided by their prey and hunted by the police.]

I'm not dragging you along on a werewolf round up. You'll have to manage on your own. If you want an escort, talk to Koizumi. I'm sure he'd be happy to explain. I have bigger things to worry about at the moment.

[Ignore that second warning at your peril.]

You're doing what? [What in the hell, she's going to round up the werewolves?]

[This is now going to private]

Are you hunting down all of them? Tell me you're taking someone with you, at least. [Translation: you're not gonna die, right?]

I'm helping the police do their job.

[Private Audio]

There are too many to get all of them, and no place to put them if I did. I'm more powerful and experienced than you think I am. I'll be fine. There are others out on the same mission, even if they're not part of our little... family.

I know you're experienced, I know you're powerful. [Really, one look at Lin and you can just tell.]

But I'm not just concerned for you. [Eleven's a werewolf now. If he gets caught...what will happen to him?] What will you do to the ones you catch? Tag 'em and release 'em?

[A beat as she thinks over the last part.]

I'm not getting a brother or sister any time soon, am I? {Sarcasm or honesty...hard to tell.]

Depends. There are a few places where we can cage a few for the night. Keep them from biting and infecting anyone else. Some of the larger packs are staking out territories across the city. I intend to see what I can do to stop that from taking hold.

Whether or not anyone else joins us is a matter I'm considering, but there are few who might live up to my standards. Koizumi's found a few. You don't need to take initiative for it, if that's what you're worried about.

[How can she say this without sounding like she's revealing her entire hand?] If you cage them, you're gonna put them in a semi-nice place, right? They do turn back into humans in the morning.

No, I wasn't about to turn anyone. No one's caught my interest, just thought I'd ask.

I do like being the only child.

If they're not violent in the morning, the police policy is to release them as long as they promise to stay locked up at night.

You're actually gonna stick around till morning?

I don't intend to be stuck with a pack of wild dogs in the morning. I'll leave Coulson the locations and he can stop by and let them out.

Good, for a moment I thought you were going to stay with them.

No. I have far more important things to do than babysit a pack of pups.

Such as?

Nothing you need to worry about. You concentrate on keeping yourself fed and keeping out of trouble. If you need rescuing we'll arrange something, but I prefer not to have to interrupt my plans to come fetch you.

[Her voice softens, the edge fading into a near purr that feels very sincere.]

Believe it or not, I would like to keep you in one piece.

When you say something like that, it does have the opposite effect. But since it's you, I guess I won't worry.

[Hearing how Lin's voice softens makes Sarah start to smile, enough to where her sire can hear it in her voice.]

Then I'll do my best to stay that way. Though, I do wonder when we'll have another family get together.

I'll be fine. I know what I'm dealing with - I'm not going into this blind. When I've finished my business for the evening and gotten something to eat, I'll be back and we'll call Koizumi in. I should have a surprise for both of you.

I said I wouldn't worry.

Mmm, should I bring something in return? [Is she excited? Maybe.]

It's not going to be a sweater is it? They do make for boring gifts.

[Surely you're imagining the amusement under her tone.]

You may if you wish. I don't require it. Hm. Don't worry, it won't be anything so lack-luster as a sweater.

Good. I'll be sure to bring something all of us will enjoy. [She's not imagining that amused tone, or the one she's returning.]

Take care.
