"I'm a foreigner, remember. Why would it endanger people to know?"

"If people find out about these creatures, some of the infirm and the ambitious think becoming a werewolf will give them what they want. Then comes the violent urges, the lack of control, the horrific transformation, and the call of their alpha. They endanger themselves and their former friends. Others who learn about the things that go bump in the night try to fight them before we can prepare them. They die. If there had ever been a hunter with the authority or the charisma to go public, we would have."

"I don't know how you're evaluating the risks, here, but I know the last five times I heard a 'for the good of the many' argument they turned out to be misguided at best. A Kamina is a far, far cry from a Neuroi. Could these parents and girlfriend be said to be sensible, that they'd know a bad idea when they see it?"

"I've never met his parents. Lydia is sensible, but she's also vain and ambitious and recently she had a fugue state or something, I don't know if she's stable right now."

"I think it seems worth talking to her, if things get violent I am capable of dealing with that."

"What do you plan to do with us?"

"Does anyone think I shouldn't arrest that young man? If not, I should work on that first."

"I'll drive us to Lydia's, unless you can fly?"

"I can fly. I can't take five passengers. I'm not going to do anything in particular to anyone beyond doing my best to stop bloodshed."

"I object to being arrested."

"Duly noted."

He handcuffs him and puts him a cell.

"If something isn't keeping the kanima down, Matt might be able to break out with it. Can you make it invisible and take it with you? It's heavy, but not more than two people."

"That'll be fun, tired as I am. Just a few minutes right?"

"I can probably carry the kanima to the Jeep if it's invisible, and the drive should only be ten minutes."

"Sounds good unless you have an amendment to the plan, book-owners?"

"If nobody minds, I think I'm going to go home. Scott, we'll talk when you get back."

"I'll stay back and try to write this up so I don't sound completely insane."

"We have our own car. We'll be right behind you."

And he and his wife head outside.

"Good luck with that, Sheriff."

The Kamina is now invisible except for a few dots of green to make sure nobody trips over it.

The kanima gets into the car without much fuss.

Scott calls Lydia.

"Lydia? Yeah, me and Allison's parents want to drop by and talk to you about Jackson...yeah, there's a reason for that...no, but it's something you might be able to help with. It's not your responsibility, I know the breakup was bad, but he's going through some stuff and you might want to know more about what's going on. Can we come over? Okay, thanks Lydia."

He sits down, and they drive to her house.

Gren is not aware of this conversation. She follows the... Horseless carriages.

There is a frustrated girl standing outside a large suburban home.

She taps her foot impatiently as Scott pulls up to the curb.

Scott gets out, but leaves the kanima inside for now.

"Hey, Lydia. We'll explain everything in a minute, just don't freak out."

Argents flank Scott, one to his right, and the other to his left.

"She's going to land now. The flying witch."
