Mike watched Steph leave; her words had stung. Stuart seemed unphased by Steph said to him and once she was gone, he turned to Mike. 
"You did well," he said. "Remember they are masters of manipulation and when seduction doesn't work, they are capable of emotional manipulation. They are cunning."
Mike nodded slowly, he felt manipulated alright, but he was unsure by who. This whole situation left him confused, but there were many cases of succubi victims. There had to be truth to what Stuart said.
"I have a meeting with mr. Johnson soon," Stuart continued. "We'll speak soon again." After a nod he left the library. 
Mike stayed behind, although he felt at loss about what to do next.

After what he considered a good practice session, Ethan returned to the part of the mansion with bedrooms. It was probably best to rest a bit, as he was going to spend the night hunting vampires. He was excitited about that, but when he passed Steph's room, he stopped and frowned at what he saw. Demon Slut? Who the hell had tagged her room?
He didn't know where Ben was, but there was an easy solution for that. He grabbed his phone and texted [i]*Dude, have you seen Steph's door? Come quick*[/i] to Benjamin.

Almost instantly a door further down the corridor opened and Benjamin emerged, his phone in his hand. He locked eyes with Ethan and approached him. When he joined him, he looked at the door and his jaw dropped. 

"Do you think she saw it?" Ethan asked.

"She was going to Mike."

"Maybe she's still there." Ethan quickly went to Mike's phone number and called him. "Mike, is Steph still with you?... She left? Where did she go?" Ethan's expression changed into a serious frown and he glanced at Benjamin a few times. "Yeah, I'll talk to him." After disconnecting, Ethan turned to Benjamin. "Okay, so, Steph was with him, but she left after she asked him if he thought of her as a monster, and he told her he didn't, but that she was a demon and that he was worried about you. He said she had taken that hard and left. He doesn't know where she went."

Benjamin covered his face with his hands. "Damn it, Mike," he muttered and he pulled his hands down. "I've got to find her."

"You think she saw it?"

"Probably."

"Where do you think she went?"

"Outside, I guess. That's where I would go. But she discovered she can fly, she could have gone anywhere."

Ethan cursed as he looked at the door again. "Look, maybe she needs some time alone, okay? If she'd need you she'd have gone to you. Maybe give her some time and text her to let her know you're here for her. And maybe we should let Harriet know, she can fly and Steph is part of her team. And Harriet isn't human." He gestured to the slurs. "I'd be fed up with humans after this bullshit."

Benjamin nodded and took his phone. [i]*Can you come to my room? I need to talk with you about Steph*[/i] he texted to Harriet. 

After that Benjamin and Ethan left, each going to their room. Benjamin to go back to reading the files, although his mind was elsewhere, and Ethan to rest and hopefully get some sleep before the evening.

Morrison drove back, keeping to himelf. It was silent in the car, but he wasn't bothered by that. Most of his nightly missions were like this, speaking only when it was needed. His partner and spend most of their time together in silence. 

They had left the city behind and drove over the road back to the mansion. He glanced to Carl a few times, but the man seemed to do well enough for his condition. He was glad this mission was over, he wanted to go to bed to prepare for the night.
