Reinforcements arrive
The car trip to the alley Cian had told them about was a little longer than usual, a roadblock having been set up and the closed-off street full of vehicles with flashing lights and police. Melody strained to see what the commotion was and it looked like there were screens raised in the middle of the pavement outside a bar or club or something. As she settled back into her seat she saw Jazz sniffing at the open window of the car, the witch's face crinkled in concentration.
Her eyes narrowed and her foot pressed a little harder on the accelerator once they were clear of the traffic around the scene. "That must be the market he was talking about," Mel said, pointing at the E-Zmart's lights, "and there's the alley." She was almost out of the vehicle by the time Jazz parked, the older witch puzzled by the young woman's keenness to get to the alley.
Mel had the backpack on her shoulder as she stepped off the kerb and looked down into the dark alley, eyes taking a moment to adjust after the lights of the market.
"Daniel? Are you here?" she called out, one hand on the corner of the wall, head tilted to one side as she took a step past the phone box.

Re: Reinforcements arrive
Case in point, he was standing there with two women he barely knew and both of them realized he was a vampire. He had accidentally shown Holly, just cruising along in vamp face on accident.
“I think you could get away within anything in Vegas. Maybe L.A., too. New York…” he trailed off. In other words, places where people were accustomed to absurdity. Los Angeles for its Hollywood blasé lifestyle, and New York for the characters riding on its subway system. But on principle she was right. Those people didn’t really believe in vampires; they had just learned to tune out the world.
