@Nick
Man at the door seem to be content with the result and is not in button frenzy you recall from some of your patients. He only rings once and waits patiently. When you reach the door, you find him wacthing the rain falling down on the roof of his car, wacthing the raindrops sparkling in the light of holographic ads and public lightning, that still works in this part of the neighborhood. He turs at you when you activate the portal screen, and looks in the camera.
Good evening Mr. Underwood. I`m sorry I am waking you this late but we have a situation in the neighborhood that calls for the doctor and your name was the fiorst that came to mind. Would you be so kind, take necessary equipement and follow me, I have a car here to take you on the place.
He is smooth as a silk, and you are sure, that if you refuse, he would just say good bye and walk away. But you are sure your sleep would be safer if you accept the invitation.

@Sylvia
Man nods and walks to the Aurora, opening the door for you and letting you in. She didnt met such gentle bahaviour for a while, specially living in Chulos neighborhood this was extremely unusual, and, in fact, it would please her a bit under other circumstances. This evening she just passes by and enters the Aurora. Another bodyguard, standing at the entrance to the lounge, nods at her to get her attention and invites her inside. She was about to enter, when oder broad man walks out and closes the doors behind himself. He looks around and as you approaches, he looks in your face. Before you reach him, bodyguard clears the nearest table and stands back a bit, to give his employer the space.
Broad man offers you a hand as you approaches, and with slight bow he introduces himself:
Good evening Ms. Collindres. My name is William McLister, please call me Bill for tonight.
He ofers you a seat, waits until you make yourself comfortable and then he sits on the other side of the table.
Almost exactly where we are sitting right now I was talking with Mr. Eastwood and Mr. Schroeder a few hours ago. In fact, I was hiring them to do a little investigation for me. It never came to my mind that I would have to come here once again this evening, only to see them dead and to have the questions I aked still unanswered. In fact, nobody expected that it would lead to such conclusion, and you are the only one who realy knows what happened there. The only one still breathing. So, Sylvia. Tell me what happened there and what the fuck is going on here on my turf!

The outburst at the end was highly unexpected, and as you opposed interrogation techniques before, really well calculated. On less experienced subject, this would be enought, and you are sure that Bill didnt tried hard on this attempt. You are, however, able to stay calm and ready to give him any answer you decide to.

"Just a moment while i grab my things", Nick returns to his room and gathers up his Medkit  and Cougar Fineblade, which he puts in his backpack then one Syringe of Dopadrine, Bliss, and Slab. " you never know..." puts those into a smaller pack then inside his backpack. "Why did i have to take that damn oath..." he pauses as he recalls a portion of it, "...I will apply dietetic measures for the benefit of the sick according to my ability and judgment; I will keep them from harm and injustice..."

He opens the front door and steps out, "How bad are they?"

Im sure they won`t. Actualy, I believe their state is the reason why my boss decided to summon you, instead of someone who will be able to help injured man.

Not a muscle more than necessary, nor smile, you can see in the man`s face. Despites this fact, you have intense feeling this mans meaning about your capability is not very high.
As you take your seat, and doors closes, silent engine hum turns into upset rar and the car shoots forward, leaving the mist behind on the place, where rain water vaporizes on the spots where tires drift the road.
Acceleration pushes you into the seating, and you began to search around for safety belts, as you see the driver enjoying your job. Car lacks any kind of manual controlls, and even when you are well aware of miracles of modern technology, look at the driver almost laying down comfortably in his anatomic gyrostabilized seat, with eyes closed like he is sleeping, makes your heart beat a bit faster. The car speeds through dark streets, only raindrops painting pitoresque images on the front window and then, propeled by different inertia, sliping to the top and out of ultra-slippery surface.
Street lightning neons and holograms changes into streak of light, lining the streets you were driving throught. All crossroads green, grid driven traffic seems to move out of your way, and where it was too slow, driver seems to find even the slightest apertures seemingly almost without even using breakes. It is not easy not to start screaming if you got overhelmed by this show of driving skill. On the other hand, despites of what the man said, you realize that you are used to much worse situations. You watch your hands, both raised a bit, as they remain as steady as deficit of alcohol allows them. One shot and you will be ready. You just hope that there will be enought time and place for you to get it before you start.
When car began to slow down, you realize that you are just about a few kilometers form your current home. You recognizes the surrounding, and your suspicion confirms when the Westwind parks next to sturdy looking off road limo...in front of the Aurora, one of famous local pubs. At least there will be other things to drink but the water.

Here we are. My employer awaits you inside.

Strange, distorted voice came out from car sound system, driver wastes no time leaving VR to say good bye. From what you see, he has a different kind of liking than you, well the difference is not that big. To everyone his own, goes through your mind as you leave the car.

So, Sylvia. Tell me what happened there and what the fuck is going on here on my turf![/color]

"We decided to meet here, as Mr. Eastwood needed to talk to someone here," she started, "I assume that was you.  But some sort of toxic spirit attacked us, and it turned people against each other.  I saw Lynx kill Griffin, Harry killed Timmy and then those two killed each other.  As the case they were working on also had a toxic element, I'd say there's a link of some kind, although I don't know what.  I'll have to check the aura signatures the thing left behind to get more information."

@Sylvia:I see. That stench. I thought it was some kind of chemical weapon. This explains the mess. Although, we weren't supposed to meet. Maybe someone Harry contacted during the investigation. Talking of this, I suppose you have been contated for the same reason. Am I right?
Before you have a chance to answer, you see bodyguard moving forward, contactin one of newcommers. Bill gestures, asking you for patience, and stands up to invite the man. Then he turns back to you.
Questions can wait, meet Dr.Underwood. He is one of my renters. I summoned him to examine the bodies, well as you are eye witness it wont be necessary. Also,
he points at the lounge doors
They are not going anywhere. At least I hope.
@Nick: Well, dr. Underwood, meet Ms. ... Ms. Patient. Please take care of her injuries. I'll make a few calls on the bar, before you are done.

Sattisfied for now, he walks away and the crowd around the bar swallows him. A moment after that you can hear his voice above the others.
YOU ALL HAVE BEEN MY GUESTS TONIGHT. HAN, SEND ME THE BILL. AND ONE LAST ROUND OF THE HOUSE SPECIAL FOR EVERYONE!

Dr. Underwood looks at Sylvia "She ain't die'in, she can wait." and heads right for the bar, fighting his way through the growing crowd of people in an attempt to get a drink.

Before he walks away Sylvia see's a man Approximately six foot tall maybe a shade over two hundred pounds wearing a Suit vest, (The vest is midnight blue, Dress Shirt a light blue, and the pants are black) his skin is pale white, having gotten little exposure to the sun you assume, and his face is framed by Messy Black hair that reaches his jawline, (Looks like he didn't even brush his hair) and as he turns you see the black pack he is carrying obviously holding something(s).

Nick waves the Bartender "I'll just take a Vodka"

@Nick: Barman seems to be quite bussy with by delivering Bills order, and you feel touch on your shoulder. As you look behind, bodyguard stands there, offering you chromed pocket flask:
You better use my own reserve. And please, get back to what you are here for. Mr. McLister has very little patience with those who fail to accomplish his wishes.

Sylvia looked at the back of the doctor and then at the bleeding gash in her arm.
'Is that all medical they could find in this dump,' she thought, 'I can find a better doctor in Carbonado.'
Of course, said doctor would probably be as drink happy as this one,  but as family of a Chulos member, she wouldn't be ignored.  Or if she was, at least not for long.  While the doctor was standing at the bar, she quickly looked on the astral.  One could never know.


now invisible castle is working again: assensing roll.
intuition 4 + assensing 3 =7 (7d6.hits(5)=4)
not bad, what's our good doctor looks like on the astral  :)

@Sylvia:A few modifications, mainly head. After you look asess him, you are pretty sue that he would be better doctor if he gets his drink, then without it. Otherwise, he seem to be helpfull and not he wont willingly hurt anyone, having long record of healed/cured auras on his hands. He is less emotional, more logic oriented in his personality/mind. And deep inside there is some kind of injustice he feels, well you are not able to be more specific

"Not really no," Sylvia replied, "two of them went absolutely bananas.  Toxic spirit with mind influence powers."

Nick takes another drink, caps the flask and returns it to its owner and returns to Sylvia, "Sounds like a party, i suppose i'm supposed to take a look, care to lead the way?"
