    "Sorry, I'm assuming the kids are the hounds." The Reverend interjected.

    "Yes, the donuts were enchanted. Boss Maw told us. Sorry, that detail got lost in the shuffle." He replied.

    Morgan rolls his eyes silently at Maria, then nods at Blackthorn. "Yeah, the thought that the doughnuts marked targets was one that occurred to me. It could have made us unable to resist being called upon in the ritual that starts this whole thing, or just make us smell funny. I, however, was pulled in specifically by Delarosa. She came forward voluntarily offering details about the abduction. Our entire side trip to Boss Maw was based on her testimony, which proved to be a distraction while she hired somebody to drive her and the kids to Central Park. I doubt she will expect a police office to be here, as she claimed the police wouldn't listen." Morgan grunts. "Well, unless that was a lie as well. Who can be sure at this point? But we all heard the howl, so we're all marked. And people, don't wolves howl when they're beginning a hunt? They don't howl when they're trying to avoid being hunted, do they? I think it's highly likely we're the prey."

    "Only problem with that is I never touched those donuts but I did hear the howling. So did they use something else to mark us? Or am I somehow Scott free? I don't think I am though." Raymond replied.

    Maria nodded, "Yea give me any information you can bout the car..." she paused briefly. "also give me the best description of Delarosa. I'm going to go on step farther, I'm going to get the parking deck surveillance footage. Not only will that help when it come time to make arrests, but it could give us a lead to go on as to the location of the kids... assuming they are still kids." Maria said pausing at the end, her tone shifting from excited to sad.

And she had this pad with papers on it, which I thought was kinda funny. And uh...oh damn, my brain's doing that weird fuzzy thing. She was blonde! Yes. Fairly attractive blonde. And she had glasses.

    Reverend Blackthorn went to the orphanage and assured the Sisters there and ask they pray for success. He called for an Uber to take him to Father MacArthur's. He filled in the Father, asjed him to pray, and retrieved a long back hardshelled case. Then, he took his Uber back to Ray's shop.

    Maria just sighed, "That information isn't enough to go off of. But it's alright I figure if we're the ones being hunted there's safety in numbers. Let me get my gear and me and Airam will meet you all at the shop. Be safe out there." Maria said hanging up the phone.

    Maria grabbed her pistol, and billy club. Put Airam on her leach and headed out of her apartment for the shop.

    After hanging up on the phone, Raymond grudgingly put his shoes back on and headed back to his store, keeping an ear out for howling. When he arrived he unlocked the door and immediately closed it behind him. He went to retrieve his rifle from the underside of his counter. He keeps it here rather than carries it back and forth to and from work as it's easier to avoid suspicion this way. Besides he carries his knives which are easier to conceal and usually good enough to handle most trouble in the city. He patiently waited for his friends to arrive.

    As you enter your office you find an envelope has been slipped under your door. You find a note and $150 dollars inside.

    Good luck on your first day of work Inspector, I hope your day was productive. It seems someone may have been paid to throw something at my shops window. I've closed shop for a few days and will be out of touch. Here's your next days pay, keep up the good work. May you find the children with expiditious energy.

    Morgan leans down and picks up the note. He pockets the money in his wallet and reads the note. He chuckles once. "Yeah lady, that's the plan," he says to the air. Morgan grabs a soda from his mini-fridge, then moves to his desk. He removes the rapier hanging from the wall and draws the blade, making sure it is cleaned and sharpened. He practices a few thrusts in his office while thinking through the meaning of the note received. Then he once again sheathes the blade. "Question is, do you think I'm a hunter or prey? Which role are you intending for us to fill for you? Well, I'm not just another human, and I'm nobody's dupe." He leaves to join the others at Ray's shop.

    Reverend Blackthorn set his case on an empty table and opened it to reveal a rifle. He began to inspect the weapon to make sure it was ready for use. "I do have a permit if you would like to check, Officer." The Reverend smiled.

    After that, he scanned the books in the shop to do his own research on the Wild Hunt.

    Maria assisted the other in the research, only stopping briefly to look up at the Reverend and chuckled "Actually yes I'll want to check it... if nothing else to make sure that everything is in order. The same goes for the rest of you who wishes to use firearms." She said going back to her research.

    After some time she slammed the table with her hands standing up quickly, startling Airam who'd been napping. "Oh OH!!! holy Crapbaskets, if we go with the idea that we're the targets in this hunt. I may have figured out the way they got us marked as prey. We interfered with the hunt by attempting to stop whomever's behind this from getting the children, thus marking each of us as the prey. It's the only thing that makes sense in this case. Any thoughts or objections to this line of reasoning?" she said, then asked looking at each person.

    hearing her phone ding, Maria takes it out of her pocket and looks at it. Bemusement creeps across her face. "Morgan, not to change the subject," Maria said bemusement changed to seriousness. She pulled a notebook out of her purse, sitting back down. "I need to know as much as you can tell me bout the encounter you had with Delarosa. The text was from the Precinct, apparently Ms. Delarosa has some 'information' on the orphan case."

    The private investigator nods knowingly. "I think we have pretty clear evidence for that at this point. She was taken to Central Park with the children and she has both of our names. I don't get the feeling that she would have used the kids as human sacrifices, so I can't help thinking they've been turned into the Hounds. But we still don't know for sure yet. For all we know, we are gonna end up being the hunters and something else entirely might be the prey. I feel like our priority remains the same. We need to search Central Park for a place where Delarosa could have done- or is doing- the needed rituals. I know we lack info, but we should at least try to check that parking deck to see if her car is still there. We could always question her neighbors as to what her car looks like."

    Maria nodded,"I agree we need more information and I feel I might be able to get it." Maria said, "I could always ask Delarosa to come in to make an official statement. Once I get a picture of her, grab the security footage from the parking deck and see if I can spot..." Maria paused as her phone buzzed a warning causing her to look at it again. "Well that's fan-freaking-tastic, a bad storm coming in and me without my PJ's" she said with a sly smile. "Sorry I left those in my other purse."

    Morgan looks down at the alert, then yawns involuntarily. "Look, we can't investigate or fight the Wild Hunt or whatever we're supposed to do in a blizzard, or while tired. We need to rest, but we also need to be careful. We don't know exactly when in the next few days the hunt will be ready. I suggest that until Yule, Maria and I not be left alone. Ray, you got any spare beds? And how's your security? I suggest we pick whoever's place is most secure and set up defenses there- just in case. Surely there's some kinda magic that can wake us up if there's an intruder or something."

    The Reverend absorbed the flow of information and processed it. "Damn, we are hot on a trail and things are try to cool us down." He sighed.

    He walked a short pace. "If we are to hole up somewhere, we need to stay at someone's home. The hearth of a home is an effective barrier against fae. My home is upstate, so too far away. Apartments will do, but they are not as strong. Magic can be classist sometimes."
