The Forgotten: Seven

Danton approaches Mia and asks her to dance. She takes his hand and lets him guide her out onto the dance floor.

"This is a coincidence. My friend David has a new dance partner from out of town as well."
"Well, it is a party."
"One with the prince in attendance."
"More an issue for her than for me, I'd think."

Jessica sees Monica approach, offering her a glass of champagne. They watch David with Grey and Mia with Danton.

"Should I intervene?" Monica asks.
"Maybe?" Jessica says, not sure how to respond.

...

Samuel heads out to the balcony to find Jones. The Gangrel looks over.

"My 'friend' tells me the city's going to fall."
"Seems everybody has one except me. Hmph." Samuel nods inside, where Jones sees Monica walking up to Mia and Danton.
"Somebody's backing them. Making sure they get here, they feel safe showing their faces."
"Lewiston's close enough that they could run if they have to."
"Maybe we should see if they do that."

...

Danton smiles politely as Monica cuts in. Mia steps away, to Jessica at the sidelines.

"Are they working together?"
"He made it sound like they aren't."

Mia looks over at Grey still in David's arms, her eyes narrowing just a little.

"Uh, there is someone we could ask," Jessica suggests, and Mia looks back to her and softens.

...

Samuel heads out with Jones to the Vault. The club's Halloween party is more about two-for-one shots of something a disgusting green color.

They find Lake, Mac and Danni there.

"So, what's the deal with you and Grey?" Samuel gets right to it.
"Why, you think she's cute?"
"She seems to think that way about David."

Lake's smile slips.

"It's strictly business. The big boys are gonna fight, we make sure nobody we care about gets hurt."
"That doesn't necessarily include you," Mac adds.

Jones looms over him.

"Just tell us what's really happening."
"Do you think they even know?" Samuel snorts.

Mac jumps to his feet, up in Samuel's face.

"Oh, we know plenty, Draco. You'll see."

Lake puts a hand on Mac's arm, and he turns and snarls at him before stepping it down.

"I'm not gonna pretend we know everything. But I know some of it's already started."

Lake looks at Samuel pointedly.

"Your sire knew about this."

...

Grey sees Mia watching, and kisses David on the cheek.

"We must do this again sometime."

She saunters out. David watches, scowling.

Mia wonders if it's just because she was being sly.
