Summary
Vampire hunters were going to starve a vampire and then have her feed on camera for PR purposes. Isobel Catalan paid runners to intervene.
Background
Gabriella Ferro, an Infected rights activist, was discovered to be a Strain 1 by hunters and kidnapped. Learning of this, Isobel hired the runners.
The Meet
Isobel Catalan met the runners at a fairly nice late-night restaurant, offering the runners dinner or drinks. After... fumbling the request for an upfront payment, the runners reluctantly agreed to do it for the fourteen thousand each offered.
The Plan
With Gabriella's address provided by the J, the runners headed over and poked around, finding the door ajar, evidence of a struggle and a fridge full of blood. Ducky called the apartment's security manager, spinning a sob story of a friend and an amicable ex worried for her. This worked like a charm, with security footage handed over with much sobbing.
Looking through it, they found three masked individuals attacking her, working fairly cohesively as a team and with a sun patch on their clothes - judging by the latter, most likely Infected hunters.
The Run
Using Search, and following a van caught on security cameras to narrow it down, the runners tracked Gabriella to a currently unused broadcasting studio. With some sneaking around and Clairvoyance, they learned the hunters had starved Gabriella in preparation for throwing a hostage in with her once she was sufficiently uncontrolled and filming the result.
With the help of some Invisibility, Ducky snuck into the middle of the studio where the guards were, and detonated a gas grenade. This was unfortunately the wrong grenade, and she was nearly unconscious, but thankfully the surprised hunters were rather less toxin-resistant.
Aftermath
Gabriella was brought back (in the hunters' van) to Isobel, after some irritated haggling over additional money for the hostage and a moral stand over giving the hunters to her for interrogation due to the probability that they would then become dinner.
