That might be too cold for Wishbone to pick up a scent trail, but I'm gonna swing by anyway and see. Maybe we should get a bloodhound or something.

Permalink

Yeah. Man, I hate this. 

 

Bureau's thinking about letting her boyfriend out, seeing if we can follow him to her.

Permalink

I guess that might work. I imagine he knows we're looking, though.

Permalink

Yeah. They can stage an escape opportunity but - he's not stupid, I don't know if he'll buy it. 

I do think he'd look anyway, he really loves her.

Permalink

Yeah.

She throws her backpack and her crossbow into Azalea's car and sets Wishbone down very gently. The police can go ahead and yell at her for driving on her own with just a learner's permit; she has a serial killer to catch.

 

If I ask what you did to him are you gonna tell me?

 

Permalink

Yeah, of course.

Permalink

OK.

 

I'm not asking now but that's because I'm driving a metal death box at night on like zero sleep in an attempt to track a precog super-vampire serial killer, and I think these are the sorts of things that you're supposed to, like, focus on while you're doing them.

Permalink

So I've been told. Do you want me to meet you there?

Permalink

It'd probably be best. How's mummy girl?

Permalink

She thinks junk food is the greatest! It's pretty great, I see where she's coming from. She thinks she was conscious the whole time. We're checking on mummies in other cities.

Permalink

...well that's sort of horrifying.

Permalink

Uh huh. 

Permalink

At least she's better now. I guess. I wonder if the museum'll notice that they don't have a girl mummy anymore.

Permalink

Seems like the kind of thing it'd be hard to miss but on the other hand I dunno if you advertise it. 

Permalink

I guess. How far away are you? I don't want to wait that long once I get there, if we're short on tracking time.

Permalink

Yeah, get started right away, I'll catch up to you. Not far.

Permalink

It is at this point that a really terrified no-longer-mummy starts sending out really panicked screaming that there's someone breaking into her room.

Permalink

- never mind. I'll send backup after you. Careful, okay? Stay clear of fights that might be iffy -

He swings the car around. Michael, Michael are you at that stupid church -

Permalink

Yes - what's wrong - oh - 

Permalink

Got it.

She reaches the gas station and waits, crossbow at the ready, while Wishbone attempts to find a trail he can follow.

Permalink

The windows open from the inside. There's a passcode. It's - oh shit you won't know our numbers -

Got it? 

Permalink

I think so -

She bites her lip and punches in numbers and escapes through the window seconds before the door gives way. She doesn't have a good enough head start to avoid being chased.

Permalink

He runs some red lights. He tries to keep a different fraction of his attention on Karen.

Permalink

Karen is not optimistic. Her plan failed to account for the fact that Drusilla's last known location was a gas station, and that it's probably pretty hard to smell anything else under all of the gasoline.

- but then, after a few minutes, Wishbone does pick something up. He follows it, barking for attention, and they're off.
