Spirals slain. Mouse recovered. Road trip.
The Spirals called up the cell phone I collected off the disabled bomb. Time and place. Be there in an hour. We scrambled to get the "team" (Salem, Slug, and Riley) together, but Salem was the only one available on such short notice. He called in Emma and I called in Silvertip. The meet-up was in an open meadow north of KC. I watched from afar while Salem, Emma, and Silvertip closed in--and I spotted Justin spying on the Spirals, which were already there. I don't think he realized how close he was to dying if we hadn't shown up. Justin got away thanks to the group showing up when it did. The Spirals talked while I searched for shenanigans. They wanted Salem to come with them and said that they'd detonate a second bomb if the garou didn't comply. Salem stalled while I skimmed the BSD's minds. I got lucky with the third one, the native American woman. The Temple. A nightclub. I extended my senses again, checked the bomb, and saw it was not wired up to go--just like the last one. I converted the detonator's charge to an inert metal--just in case. Then I fired off three text in a row to Salem: BOMB IS DISARMED /BOMB IS DISARMED /BOMB IS DISARMED. Salem ordered Emma and Silvertip to kill all the Spirals save for the leader, who was to be taken alive. (The way he said it? Chilling in its ruthless efficiency. Like he'd just said "Bring home two dozen eggs and some pasta sauce.")
The battle was over unbelievably swiftly. (Thou shalt not get into a brawl with a garou; take them out at range.) I managed to deflect a bullet intended for Emma, but didn't have time to address the other Spiral that plowed nearly killed Silvertip, who'd still been in homid form and preoccupied with levitating the leader up into the air. I caught the leader when Silvertip dropped the effect to defend herself and while the others helped to dispatch that Spiral that was on her. And later, after I brought the leader, laughing, back to the ground, he.... Well, it was Mouse. Using some magical disguise.
It looked like things had sorted themselves out from afar, so I too the Suburban, drove home, packed up some shit and LOLcat, and bailed.
Killing a vampire (even if she was an evil cuss) and Mouse sort-of back? I have too much shit to sort out in my head.
