Wic asks, "So, who has or can get a car, quickly?"
Then, between grinding teeth, he mutters something about bloodbags not returning phonecalls and that he might be able to steal one if needed.

Jessie: "I've got a car. It's parked a few blocks away from here. It's not a performance car, but it'll do for just transport."

Wic leans toward Jessie, looking like he wants to check her pulse with his teeth. "I shall ride with Jessie, if she has no objection." He smiles as though he is showing his teeth off -- like they are new toys.
[Mastergeorge, please, pm me with Wic's current bloodpool.]

I look at the exchange between Wic and Jessie, though more Jessie. Wic is doing that thing he does again. I feel a little twitch of something in my spirit but I push it back. There's no need for that right now. Politics and religion aside, I wouldn't want them getting too attatched to eachother and leaving me out in the cold. Call it paranoia or something else, but its just a quirk I have. I'm not really sure when I developed it, but that's not important right now.
Besides, I get the feeling Jess knows more than she's letting on. Or, at least, she has a lead that could make the difference. Not that she's actively lied to us, that I know of.
"Sounds good to me."
I maintain my-what's the word I'm thi-blase demeanor. It's another thing I picked up from my mortal days. As long as I remained the "chill dude" everything was fine. Besides, I learned quickly that some things about myself I should keep that way.
"If you have room, I'd love to join you."
I smile as genuinely as I can muster. They're not leaving me in the cold.

Wic snaps his gaze at Trey, eyes narrowed and looks like he just drank a quart of sour milk. "I was hoping to speak with her privately. You two can ride with Michael."
He then looks expectantly at Jessie.

What's so private that I can't ride with them? We just met and they're already pulling this shit.
"Hey, no need to get like that. I just think it'd be better to work out the logistics with more of us together."
I keep the pleasant look on my face, I just wish I felt the same way inside.
"If it helps, you can always pick me up last."
That should be reasonable. Very reasonable.

Wic's jaw remains clenched, though his eyes seem to soften. However he continues to look at Jessie, waiting for her answer.

Jessie's face tenses for a few seconds, before she answers.
"Er...I think Trey's probably right, for now, we need to coordinate ourselves properly, keep the task in hand in mind. Wic, come with me now to get the car, and we'll talk. Trey, shall we meet you here in an hour?"

I nod, feeling a bit better. I still don't like it, but the arrangement works.
"Yeah, pick me up around the corner. I'll be in a black hoodie and sweatpants."
I nod and smile to the others as I get up to head home for a change and to get my gear together.
"Don't have too much fun without me."
I wink at Wic and Jess and head out the club.

"Well then i better get back to my place and get ready. I don't care who I ride with. Then again having one of us riding with the other two mit be a good idea. Get some more info maybe. Well we can decide that when the time comes. Later."
I get up and wait a second for them to say anything and then go back home to get all my weapons

Wic relaxes, satisfied with the situation.
To Jessie, he says, "Shall we go then?" He stands, then pauses, "John, did I not see you with some throwing knives? If you have some to spare, I would appreciate it."

"Excellent." Wic responded, heading to the door.

Ok, we're splitting off in all directions, to your respective boards. Watch those spaces.

[Trey and John]
The two of you arrive back at the meeting point at about the same time, in different cabs, from different directions, but early. There's as yet no sign of Wic and Jessie, so, if there's ever been a time for small talk, it has come.
