{Originally} ((OK, we'll continue to use this thread for phone tag & convo for a bit. It would too much of a stretch to get them there before enough time's elapsed that such kinda things would be happenin'.))
The granny couldn't move - quite a line of cars ahead. Eli made some traffic strategy decisions and had them rolling a block the other way. The next street was more open but wouldn't reach the freeway like this one. Then again, was there a hilly back street that could be faster by merit of having less traffic, even with the lower speed limit? They drove on.

{Originally} Out of fear, Jason grabbed the wheel while Eli was on the phone.
"Dammit, didn't they ever teach you no texting when driving? You're going to get us killed before we even get to the real danger."

{Originally} The wheel changed hands one way and then the other. Luckily on this backstreet, there were far fewer people walking than around than on the main drags.Demetri- "You're at the estate? This is at the estate?"

{Originally} He sounded firm but distant. There was a lot of wind noise.Demetri- "No way to know for certain until tomorrow, but it does look like the bastard killed my intended. Where did you get to?"

{Originally} {originally} "I know, I'm trying. It's a lot. Everyone is dying. He almost died too."
Eli started walking outside the room, leaving Jason to do the up close babysitting.Demetri- "*sigh* Listen, it looks horrible, but we can come back from a lot. It may take a week before he looks normal, even the arm. You need to focus."

{Originally} Demetri- "Quite right. In this sense, Gaston-Louis would have been a better mentor. We didn't know a war would be coming to town like this - it hardly ever happens - but it has, and you need to be ready to live with death. Guess you'll learn from experience... Incidentally, I saw Gaston-Louis at the estate. He said he's going to take care of business there. Just as well, I have much more to do."
{originally} Eli didn't know what to say to that. Gaston-Louis scared him and he didn't particularly want to deal with him. ...Maybe if he came with, like, a giant pile of katanas and magically destroyed Theodore in one stroke... "..."

{Originally} Demetri- "Gh-? One thing at a time. Helen can get in the hotel fine, and into your room with a knock at the door. Don't worry about that. What's this about ghouls?" As Eli's mind scrambled to gather the relevant info, he was sure he hadn't been called again since Tabby said she was on the way. Every reason to assume she was headed over right then.
{originally} "Oh, um, before all this happened... We invited some ghouls over here to come hang out and stuff... But then everything awful happened and I forgot..."
