St. Mary's is a brick building with a cemetery and an attached school that closed down years ago for lack of funds. Evening mass has just ended, and the parking lot is mostly but not entirely empty. A few people are still talking outside.

Cam parks. I'm not sure what I'd add to a conversation with a priest, but I'll come if you want, he tells Suzanna.

"He probably doesn't know ASL. Guard the captives, I guess."

Yes summoner, Cam says, saluting.

She heads off in the direction of the church. She comes back several minutes later with a young priest and a very old woman.

"Hello, Karen," says the old woman, sternly, when Zana opens the door. "I understand that you've made some poor decisions."

"You know, I'm fine being kidnapped, but I'm really not here to be lectured about the error of my ways."

"I've definitely seen the error of my ways," puts in one of the minions.

"The basement's equipped to hold vampires, if you wanna help us get them there," says Zana.

Cam stuck the handcart in the trunk. He goes and gets that.

"I can just walk? That seems significantly less humiliating."

I am under enough binding to have some worries about my reaction time if you decide not to just walk. Would you like to be draped in a sheet so no one knows you aren't a life sized sculpture?

"You know, as considerate as that is, I think I'll pass."

Vampires enter the church in handcarts.

Vampires are annoyed, but neglect to try anything before being locked in the basement, which has at some point been remodeled to contain a bunch of vaguely concerning-looking little jail cells.

That is indeed concerning-looking. What happens with imprisoned vampires down here?

"Nothing, not lately," replies the priest. "When we had more resources we used to keep them down here to talk to them, attempt to sort out which ones could be helped and which ones were beyond us. Unfortunately many of the larger facilities have been burnt down in the recent past. Several of them by Karen and her followers."

If Zana wants to let me I can rebuild 'em for you.

"We would certainly appreciate help. Ah, I don't believe that we've been introduced?"

I'm Cam. I can make things.

"I see. Well, thank you for bringing them back, anyway. Perhaps we should discuss our next priorities upstairs, out of vampire earshot."

Cam obligingly tromps upstairs.

Zana follows the old lady and the priest back up to the parish office, once she's satisfied that the vampires are secure.

"So I'd love to give an account of the last year," she says, before anyone can ask her why exactly she kidnapped Imrainai instead of staking her, "because it sucked in very interesting ways, but I kind of have some stuff to take care of first. I know Imrainai's - Karen's not one of the chiller vampires, and I don't really think we have the resources to rehabilitate her the old fashioned way, if that's even possible in the first place. And I know that we've had zero luck with non-lethally exorcising vampires in the past. But I've been doing research, and I'm pretty sure there's a way to get vampire souls back. It's just not, like, recorded anywhere that I can find? So I'm going to have to do more research, because I feel like if we're going to fix her we're gonna have to do it the so-old-fashioned-it's-been-lost-to-history way."

Name some books, Cam suggests. Title and author or a comparable amount of information.

" - oh right, we can get - can you get back copies of books that don't exist anymore?"

Cam nods.
