 As she parks her car, her phone rings. Unknown number. She answers, and hears a strange noise on the other side, something like a digital interference sort of thing. Then there is a monotonous voice that sounds like a recording, but filtered. Stretched. The voice says "take out your notepad and start writing". Then there is more noise and the call hangs up. And in the voice, scrambled as it is, she detects more than a slight lisp. So [[Magenta Writes to Herself|she writes]].
-When she is done writing, she has a conversation with the cat, who tries to talk her out of going on the plane, but also makes a point of staying with her regardless of her decision. Then she phones Smith, who explains his sole motive for deserting her (with a dead body) was letting her make an independent decision. He want her to come with him, which means not getting on the plane (which he considers suicide), but it has to be her call.

-The most Magenta is able to put into it is "agreeing to disagree" and telling Smith they'll meet in NY if they come through - each in his own special way. And so, with this display of crippled emotions, she disposes of her phone in the public washrooms, hides [[Derek]] in a locker and then boards the private jet without even noticing that the Cat has rendered her invisible.

 In spite of the accumulating evidence, Magenta refuses to take advantage of her invisibility, so the Cat scares Bertie out of his wits by appearing before him and unveiling Magenta. Once Bertie recovers from the initial shock ("Shit! You can't sneak up on people like that! Did you see a cat just there...?") he starts asking Magenta all sorts of questions about her recent transgressions, and eventually admits he's been ordered to stake her on sight - which he does not consider very sportsmanlike. He wanted to talk to her first, and now that they did... Well, if she could only be so kind as to undo her blouse so he doesn't make a hole in it.
-Magenta, finally snapping to her senses, tells Bertie she will just go and fetch [[Derek]]. Bertie, not being that fucking slow, gently recommends that he send for someone to get Derek, to which Magenta reacts by explaining that Derek is training a portable missile-launcher on this very private jet, and that he is ordered to pull the trigger unless she comes to get him.

 Bertie is astonished by this criminal attitude from someone he knew and trusted, and as the great gears in his mind grind to formulate an attack plan, Magenta reaches into her purse and shoots him with [[His Brother's Knife|her secret weapon]], this time taking the shape of a large [[wp>Colt Peacemaker|Peacemaker]]. Bertie blurs a bit, from dodging so fast, but the bullet badly scratches his arm. His face contort with horrible surprise and like that, he's gone. To the dust bin with him.

 ===== Kidnapped! =====
-Meanwhile Smith has picked up an RV and a hitchhiker to drive it to New Jersey. The cat relays Magenta's follies so Smith U-Turns and picks her up. On to NY.
+The Cat relays Magenta's latest follies to Smith, who has already picked up an RV and a hitchhiker chick to drive it to New Jersey, but is only too happy to U-turn and pick Magenta up. And so the whole party heads back to [[New York|NYC]] together, and on their own terms.
-Heading for New York on their own terms, and even sleeping on the way, Smith's shiny new RV is attacked and boarded by Werewolves. And this is daytime. Smith, Piven and Magenta helplessly awaken in a hidden hold (made even more hidden thanks to the Cat's awesome obfuscation), while hearing their captors search for them. Eventually one of them starts hacking the safe, but not before he makes sure to close all the shades, so as not to hurt them if they are there. Before he tears any substantial holes the Cat unobfuscate Piven ("For him, I don't carez"), and the safe-cracker is immediately content. Found them. Helplessly, they are driven to Pennsylvania.
+Smith's shiny new RV is equipped with a hidden but spacious vault, and after a few hours of driving and chatting Jones and Smith and Piven enter it, lock it and go to sleep, leaving Smith's hitchhiker to drive, Derek to keeps a tired eye on her and the Cat to keep a sleepy eye on him. The vampires are still asleep when the RV is stopped at a roadblock, by what appears to be a small platoon of soldiers. Derek fiercely hides under a bed as the soldiers order the shocked and terrified driver/hitchhiker off the RV and down on the ground.
+The sudden sound of automatic weapons firing wakes the vampires. They can hear some screaming and smell a massacre going on outside, and then the strong scent of werewolves as they board the RV and hijack it. The cat obfuscates the three helpless vampires as one of the werewolves searches the back. He ignores Derek and finds the safe, but complains to his partners that he can't smell the vamps. One of his friends advises him to make sure and he starts hacking the safe, but - strangely enough - not before he closes all the shades so as not to hurt any vampires that might be in it. Before he tears any substantial holes the Cat un-obfuscates Piven ("For him, I don't carez"), and the safe-cracker is immediately content. Found them. Must have been a sealed vault, or something.
+Helplessly, they are driven to Pennsylvania.
 ===== Dawgz Revisited =====
-In the stronghold of the Black Spiral Dancers, S,P&J meet [[drinks-alone-and-nothing]], who lectures them on the mysteries of the universe (Wylde, Weaver and Wyrm and all that) and offers his help - for a fee.
+In the stronghold of the Black Spiral Dancers, S,P&J meet [[:supernova:Drinks Alone and Nothing|Drinks-Alone-and-Nothing]], who lectures them on the mysteries of the universe (Wylde, Weaver and Wyrm and all that) and offers his help - for a fee.
 In exchange for their story of Faerie encounter, he reveals his [[Burzmali]] contact, somewhere in India, and even arranges for cross-Umbra transportation. Smith specifically asks for [[Theodore]] as guide, which is arranged.
 Teddy is not so happy with meeting them again ("Some friend you are" said Smith), but he does with his claws, and the bubble of reality bursts around them.
