It was a cool, pleasant night. The air was at a comfortable temperature, and the steady wind was a welcome factor. The gentle breeze cruised across the face and the through the hair of [u][url=https://postimg.org/image/trbckqted]Thomas[/url][/u]. He sat back, relaxed in a decorative wicker chair on the back patio of a magnificent estate. He stared out across the courtyard, his eyes rolling over the neatly trimmed hedges, decorative stone benches, and the elaborate fountain in the center yard which geysered crystal clear water from it's spout.

Thomas sat with his legs casually crossed, his left hand lay relaxed on the chair arm while his right firmly held a long white cigarette up near his mouth. He held it to his lips and inhaled, followed by a stream of white smoke from his nostrils as he lowered it from his lips.

[b]"Nice night."[/b] Came a voice from behind.

Briefly startled, Thomas refrained from turning or flinching as he recognized the voice.

"Indeed so." He replied.

From the corner of his eye, Thomas saw him step up next to his chair, it was Dalton.

"You said you have something, I believe." Thomas said, taking another hit to his cigarette, not looking around.

"I do." Dalton replied, his hands in his jacket pockets as he too gazed out across the posh courtyard.
"I've identified our mystery victim, and her place of residence, and business I might add," Dalton continued,"her name is [b]Alice Lynch[/b]. She owns a tailor shop, just below her apartment."

Thomas exhaled, releasing more smoke from his mouth and nose,"The same one who disappeared from the hospital? The one who vanished without a trace?" He asked.

"That's right." Dalton replied.

"So," Thomas said,"Liam turned her, and she's fled into the shadows."

"Not quite," Dalton said, prompting Thomas to halfway look around at him, Dalton continued,"she's shacking up with an old 'friend' of mine, another Vampire."

"Interesting." Thomas said, standing up from his wicker seat.
He stepped forward to the edge of the patio, slowly placing his left hand onto the stonework before him, an unseen twinkle in his eye.
After a moment of silence, Dalton asked,"What are you thinking?"

"Tell me," Thomas said, without turning around,"do you and this other Vampire that our dear Alice is staying with keep in touch these days?"

"I see her rather often." Dalton replied.

"Good," Thomas replied,"then I want you to invite her and Alice to a...little get-together Downtown. We're going to enlist the help of Alice to catch Liam."

"What?" Dalton demanded, withdrawing his hands from his pockets,"How?"

Thomas took another hit to his cigarette and said with a smile,"Let me worry about that, you just focus on extending a well-meant invitation to your little friend. If the cards fall right, we'll have the means to set a unavoidable trap that Liam Enduro couldn't possible squirm out of."
