WHO: Katherine/Rhiannon.
WHAT: Katherine and Rhinanon share an 'oops' moment.
WHERE: Searchlight.
RATING: N/A
The car lot would have been as devoid of life as the surrounding desert, were it not for the two figures meeting there.
Perhaps 'meeting' wasn't the most accurate term for it. One of them wasn't even standing there, but slumped over. He was out of it, lying up against the tyres of the same pick-up truck. the other participant had just wrecked open the metal briefcase-like container he had been carrying. One which required fingerprints, code combinations and all manner of other biometric data to open.
Unless you possessed vampiric strength and a really big, sharp rock.
The actual case now laid open discarded. The one responsible for its exposure to the early evening air, a fanged monstrosity of history still named Katherine Williams, had carefully extracted the contents from its protective foam interior and was unwrapping the cloth which surrounded it.
There was no blood on the ground. The assailant was hungrier for knowledge of what was hidden away, than what flowed through the guy's arteries. The thing felt heavy, whatever it was. Maybe it was a huge diamond? All she knew was that it had value and was spoken of in hushed tones. Anything people tried to cover up had to be worth a lot of money and-
"Uhhh-huuuh..."
It was a skull. Sharp teeth, more than a healthy number of eye sockets and an elongated jaw, but definitely a skull. Odd symbols and iconography was inked over the surface, along with burnt wax from candles fusing folded pieces of paper against it. Each one containing cryptic words and enchantments.
But no matter how she turned it around in her hands, there wasn't even a hint of a dollar bill.
"Well... Maybe some museum'll pay a shitload for this thing."
It was the arrival of a third figure which made her look up.
