    As the sky dimmed, Quinn saw the Estate come into view. He pointed out a open grassy area to the pilot and dropped the headset. He unhooked his restraints and waited for the helicopter to land.

    Quinn barely waited for the helicopter to touch down on the grass at the Compton Estate before he was leaping out and heading for the front door. He paused only long enough that the guards could recognize him and moved to the doorway, knocking loudly.

    Bill descended the grand stair case, he had been checking on Jessica who continued to sleep through the night, he had ordered several donors to be sent to Jessica's room the moment that she rose for the night. Bill heard a thunderous knock on the door, scanning out he found that it was the tiger by his distinct smell that even through a door made him silently snort.

    Opening the door he saw the tiger standing waiting surrounded by the guards who waited for his orders.

    "Thank you for coming on such short notice John" he stood back too allow Quinn entry into his home.

    "Thank you for coming on such short notice John"

    "Your message required immediate response. The chopper was the fastest route. Sorry about the lawn."

    He took a breath, and went over the message the tracker had sent him during the flight in his mind as he walked in...

    "What is the current crisis? and what does it have to do with Jessica?"

    He began looking around, picking up her scent quickly and began walking in the direction it was strongest. It did not smell right....something distorting the scent....

    "I am trying to be patient, Compton, but considering your message to me, I think expedience would be good..."

    Bill could hear the impatience in the Tiger voice and knew that he would want too see Jessica right away but as he had just momentarily not long ago checked on her as she was in a deep sleep. He heard his remark about the lawn, at the present time he did not care for it, he had more pressing matters on his mind.

    "Perhaps we should take this in my office John"

    Bill took the lead into his office, knowing the tiger would be hesitant to be with Jessica, he would keep their meeting brief.

    "Perhaps we should take this in my office John"


    Quinn sighed and followed him into the office, glancing behind him as the door closed. He turned toward Bill with an expectant look.

    "You call for me, which I will admit surprised me. What is going on?"

    "You call for me, which I will admit surprised me. What is going on?"

    Bill closed the door after the Tiger entered his office, Bill turned and headed towards his desk.

    "I would offer you a refreshment but i know you would decline...And it was not on my call that i summoned you here. It was because Jessica asked me"

    Bill sat on the edge of his desk, his arms folded across his broad chest.

    "Jessica was attacked last night, shot with a bullet, laced with liquid silver" he finished waiting for the tiger's response.

    "Jessica was attacked last night, shot with a bullet, laced with liquid silver"

    "Is she ok? Where is she? Why haven't we met at her side?"

    Quinn started to stand, but paused...

    "I will ask only that you let me have the idiot who chose the one act that would unite us more than any other first. I will not take his life....at least not before you have had your chance to...talk with him."

    Quinn could feel the involuntary growl even before it could be heard...

    "I can only think of two possibilities....and one far more likely..."

    He thought back to the phone message...

    "There is something you should know..."

    "To answer your question we have not met by her bedside because she is resting and i do not wish to disturb her. She is weak, and needs her rest"

    Bill paused and pondered the Tiger's last comment.

    "I have my suspicions on whom attacked my progeny, although the evidence is not concrete. I have not had a moment to speak with Jessica about the matter...And what should I know?"

    Bill considered what the tiger had yet to reveal.

    "I have my suspicions on whom attacked my progeny, although the evidence is not concrete. I have not had a moment to speak with Jessica about the matter...And what should I know?"

    Quinn's eyes darkened as he spoke.

    "Since I can not always be around due to business, I have several who keep tabs on things, which you are probably already aware of. What you may not know is that one of the individuals being monitored has been spending a lot of time at a rather....shall we say....unpleasant store...one who specializes in what you describe being used."

    He sat down and waited for Bill's reaction...

    Bill listened to what John had to say about the matter, he wanted to go out and search for who now he believed to be responsible for what happened to his progeny.

    "I want details of this store, everything that you have got" he snarled at the tiger "Jason Stackhouse" he spat out.

    "I want details of this store, everything that you have got"

    "Of course, William. Of Course...you will have it in your hands before dawn. As for the rest of..."

    A Buzz on Quinn's phone interrupted him...he listened to the caller an responded quietly..
    Ihn abzuholen und ihn k.o. schlagen. Nehmen Sie ihn auf das Safe-Haus und wir werden mit ihm beschäftigen, wenn Zeit ermöglicht. Duft-Maske erforderlich.

    He looked back up at Bill and nodded.

    "Were was I? Ah yes...on the other matter...the name you mentioned is one of the people I suspect as well, but there is more than one possibility. Didn't a group grab her up once and try to contain her? Are they still around? Also, her old boyfriend, the one that moved away. He recently returned...we do not want to jump the gun. Stackhouse may indeed be involved, but as long as he wears a badge, we have to be cautious. Do you understand? We do not need to give the military the excuse they have been looking for..."

    "John, you do not need to lecture me on how things are run. And as for Hoyt Fortenberry i strongly believe that he is not involved in this. But do keep him under observation for as long as possible and i shall expect daily reports. And when you do find Stackhouse, bring him to me. Do i make myself very clear" Bill ordered.

    Bill knew that if Jason Stackhouse was involved, the Tiger would want him first, and then Bill would have him. He did not want this becoming public knowledge.

    Quinn could not help but chuckle a bit...

    "You forget yourself, William. I am not one of your underlings. As for keeping you updated, that is given, as it suits my purpose as well, though I think finding the one responsible will not take that long in a place this small..."

    Quinn watched Bill carefully...

    "Our peace accord is intact, but remember that I swore no fealty. I am my own man. As for the dispensation of the fool who committed this act, I will make you only one promise. You will have your chance before his life is gone. If there is nothing else, I would like to look in on Jessica before I go."

    Bill was not in the mood for another argument, he had other pressing matters on his mind that needed attending too.

    "Yes, she is upstairs. I have alerted them to your arrival. And John, I may have no power over you personally. But don't forget that I am King of Louisiana and Jessica is my progeny. She will be staying with me until i see fit that she is able enough to leave. And if you plan to make regular visits, they are to be only when I am here. With Jessica as she is, i shall refrain from leaving the premises. And as for Stackhouse, have him delivered here as soon as possible"

    Bill needed to speak with Jessica on the matter, he would not let this lie.

    Quinn nodded and stood.

    "I do understand the position you hold, and I am actually happy to have her stay here until the matter is resolved. Any visits will be planned well in advance. You will have the information you requested before dawn, on the store I mentioned. As for delivering Stackhouse, if he is the one who has these weapons, I think it might be best for my people to deal with him first, for Your Majesty's safety of course. After that, I assure you that he will be handed off to your gate guards...with a nice little bow on him. A gift for your Majesty..."

    Quinn had to chuckle a bit at his own joke. He turned and walked out of the office, following Jessica's scent to the room. Her guards cautioned him to be brief. He only looked in, seeing her resting. He left a brief message that he stopped by with one of them and headed toward the door. He had a lot to do, and needed to move fast before Compton found out that he had Stackhouse.
