Summary
No good deed goes unpunished as White Thistle's ghoul Samaritan works come with a cost and the attentions of an interested third party.
Background
Following up with the ghoul family that Thistle decided to keep tabs on in https://shreloaded.net/wiki/Ungentrification_in_Redmond had some unexpected consequences due to events that happened in https://shreloaded.net/wiki/House_of_Horrors. Lt. Detective Rusty Chambers aka "Hellsing" (a joke he is regularly called at the precinct) has had this family staked out for weeks waiting for the first team of runners he had staked out on Ungentrification in Redmond, thinking them the lesser threat to shakedown, as a very changed and very late Thistle arrives in broad daylight just in time to spring his trap, before he takes drastic action.
The Meet
This was not a traditional meet by any means. Thistle called ALkali a few days after arriving home from her island imprisonment, to come assist checking in on a family that she had put u in Puyallup while they entered their ghoul adjustment period. They quickly realized that the child had taken to ghouldom well, possibly dangerously well, and had awoken as an aspected conjurer. The mother was struggling far harder and had been starving herself to feed the child, driving her further into ferality.
Things escalated when an astral Rusty Chambers arrived on the scene, his several week stakeout of this family paying off.
The Plan
Thistle and Alkali convinced the mage to step back outside, and stepped out to talk to him. He had arrived on scene with a small SWAT team which were prepared to wipe out feral ghoul that was once the husband in the family.
After a tense discussion, several solid social roles and a terse/tentative C.I. ish agreement later, Rusty agreed to let thistle handle the feral and the mother and daughter in exchange for attempting to provide him a name of the vampire he was looking for. Alkali recognized who he was looking for and the two of them barely deflected enough to make it all work out for everyone.
The Run
In the end the cop was fed enough prospective information and has let them both know he's seen their aura's and they are his only tangible leads. He has cyber eye and guncam images of them and is on the hunt for the vampire with enough brass to hit an on the job mage cop.
Thistle killed the ghoul dad and they packed up the family for moving after they incinerated the dad's body.
Aftermath
Rusty is one step closer to Oberron and Shadowhaven through his new "CI's" Alkali and White Thistle. They are aware he knows there's a shadow talent agency and his is aware it hires infected and considers that a major prospective problem for him.
Both of them have been given Rusty as a contact.
WHite Thistle has plegdged to support Maggie and Ae'mee , an orken mother and daugher infected with the kreiger strain. Ae'mee is an aspected conjurer and very likely already an early onset superhuman psychotic. (Dependents: Nuisance)
