Dubois reached out to place both hands on Marie, one on either shoulder. He looked down to her with a very serious, fatherly sort of look. "That pack of wolves in the forest." He began, "If that vamp can help us locate them, that would be excellent. But don't waste too much time trying to reason with the thing." He took a step back, slididng his hands off of Marie's shoulders, "It's not much more than an animal, a sick, sick animal that needs to be put down. But not too quick, mind." He smiled, and began to walk back to the passenger's side of the van. "Remember, he will kill you, so kill him first." With that, he slid into the van, and it pulled away from the curb, driving off into the night.
As soon as it was gone, Riley, in his Labrador form, bounded out from the alley and pushed past Marie to stand over Tao. He growled a little and then licked at the vampire's face with a small whine.
