The gathering took place at Around the World in 80 Plates. Michael Stone had booked the restaurant for the gathering. Everyone slowly made there way in with Michael and Ivan asking to search everyone for weapons as Guns and Swords were to be left out in their cars.
There were several new comers to the gathering. Gerri brought along a new person, Terrance brought 2 of his students and one of their boyfriends and Michael brought his sister.
Tensions rose very quickly when Terrance stated that he could now read auras and that Michael and his sister’s auras were both red. Michael told everyone the story of how his sister had been bitten by someone a couple of weeks ago. This had turned her into someone that feeds off blood instead of food. She had tried to refrain from taking blood and as she was confiding with Michael she lost control of her hunger and took blood from him. This ended up turning Michael into a “vampire”.
With a fair amount of the gathering wanting answers tensions started to rise to the point where shouting and name calling started. Kevin who had been sitting off to the side with Patrick for a fair amount of the evening started calling Michael a blood cannibal. His shouts brought the attention of the room towards him and Patrick at which point Patrick took the brunt a verbal abuse from Cassidy and Alex. After some verbal sparring Patrick left the room angry and was later followed by Kevin and later Marcus.
While the trio discussed everything outside the discussion continued on the inside on what if anything could be done to help Michael and his sister. After an hour or two Marcus came back into the room and was followed eventually by Kevin, Patrick and Steven. Michael and his sister headed outside and while they were outside they a voice called up from the basement stating that “he was coming up and that if anyone made any sudden moves they would all be killed”. The voice came from Robert “Robbie” Teller, the Vice President of the Iron Wolves who was walking up the stairs.
When he reached the top of the stairs he told the gathering that if they gave up Big Dan to the Iron Wolves that they would be left alone but if they didn’t then Big Dan would still die and so would all of them. He headed back down the stairs being quickly followed by Michael who had seen him come up through the windowed door and then everyone else.
Michael was quick enough that he witnessed “Robbie” disappear much the same way that Big Dan had done a month earlier.
The discussion went late into the night focused on what to do about the Iron Wolves and Big Dan. Everyone agreed to meet in 2 weeks time (IC not OOC) to decide how they should proceed.
