Re: Litchfield, South Carolina
John chuckled, but it didn't sound like a friendly one.
"Oh I'm sure he did. Probably figured I would be showing up, and wanted to avoid a second helping of my own brand of shit stopping. Evidently he's harder to kill than I expected, which may prove useful, provided he's not still in revive the vampires mode."
Clara shuddered behind John, though he didn't see it. It probably would be clear to Zaleia that the girl had to know what had happened before, and it definitely unsettled her. Still, she kept her cool as she spoke.
"So um, what's the deal John?"
"Apparently the Cabal have a small facility, possibly a testing or weapons facility near the Sanctuary. However, we, as in you and I, will be joining Helen. She seems to think the hidden vial of source blood in Budapest may be our answer to combating Lazarus. I suspect Nikola will be there as well."
"Wonderful, so it'll be Vlad vs. Jack again huh?"
Again, John chuckled, though this time it seemed more friendly.
"Hopefully not. Knowing Helen's father, he designed those trials we'll have to go through so that only the five of us can complete them working together. Doing it without Nikola would be, most likely, impossible."
