Herik went to visit his mother after the strip club incident. There was nothing for them to do. The girls had already left and he wasn't taking on a bunch of vampire hillbillies. Instead, he dropped the pizza off at home and took the appetizers with him for dinner while he sat at her bedside. She looked paler than when he visited her yesterday and paler than the day before that. Each day she loses more color. He pushed back her blonde hair from her forehead, felt her temperature like she used to when he caught colds. She was a little cold. When he asked the nurse about it her temperature was still in normal range. He's relieved that she's not dying. The doctor said it's lack of sunlight for her color loss. He stayed the whole night and woke up early, because for the meeting today. There's a lot going on and he doesn't completely understand it. He's hoping for an explanation. Before he left for home he kissed his mother's forehead, promised to come see her later tonight, and opened the window hoping the sunshine would help.


He stuck the pizza in the oven while he got ready for the day. He dressed in short navy sport shorts and a white t-shirt, checked the pizza was hot enough, then went on his way to the meeting. He was a little late, but he didn't miss much. Seems like no one came on time, but most of the members show up before he did. 

[color=darkcyan]“The gist I got was that trailer park vampires stole a bunch of strippers for a billionaire’s evil scheme to awaken some magical genie thing.”[/color] Was the last thing he thought he'd hear come out of Vashti's mouth. He also needed to speak to her when he gets time to pull her aside. 

Herik placed the pizza in Vashti's hands, then sat in the seat of her bumper car where he could see the group over her head. "I need to talk to you about last night." He whispered, then turned his attention to the rest of the group. "So Schmidt did something he wasn't supposed to and it's dangerous? Something to do with an outsider? Like people outside the Coven?"
