So much to do.

There were things that were beyond his immediate reach and he left them across the room, staring occasionally like a sullen child locked in its crib. But everything else? He worked swiftly. Medical records did not lie- scratch that- medical records only lied when you wanted them to. So it was that he obtained files from Randy Rodriguez' last legitimate visit to hospital under that name. The next task was massive but he wasn't doing it so he cared very little. Cross reference. Find out if the person on these pages popped up anywhere else in the health industry under any different names. Was there an unnamed corpse somewhere in the system? Was he a John Doe, recovering from a fractured hip after a hit and run? It didn't matter to Darcy, just that he be found.

The other matter to attend to was the girl. He had no interest in her beyond her circumstances, which were.. troublesome.. to say the least. The moment he walked away from the Oxford he knew he would be returning at some point to explore the aftermath of her male visitor. Lasombra visitor. The two had exchanged names, which indicated meeting for the first time so he hoped to find her checked out- gone- missing- having been disappeared. No loss there. But should she still have a room under her name.. should she still be walking around.. That could be ugly. Given the nature of her visitor and given the fact that he knew of no Antitribu in the city.. He expected a mess, one he didn't think the teenage delinquents that made up the Sabbat would clean-up.

In the back of his head somewhere, the imminent arrival of Lady Adelaide whined for attention, whined for frontal-lobe processing power. But that was another one of those toys across the room, out of his reach. So he stared and sulked and cried about it and in the end he played with the damn blocks that he had been given.

The girl that Darcy contemplates is easy enough to find. Her face was everywhere a little over a year ago: billboards and print and media ads. She represented Abercrombie and Fitch, American Eagle, Gap and even Victoria's Secret. She did a television ad for perfume. But a little over a year ago is an eternity in this instant gratification society that they both exist in and her face has been replaced by another pretty blond, or America's Next Top Model. But, despite this, there's a loveliness to Brooklyn Ash's face that says she's not washed up just yet. If Gepetto had breathed life into a beautiful china doll, Brook is probably what she'd look like: porcelain skin and fair blue eyes, silky flaxen hair and a small boned build. She's hard to forget, which means that she's easy to track.

She's still at the Oxford. Her room - a suite on the upper floor - is booked through the next week and paid for by New York Model Management. She has a driver named Franco, also paid for by the Modelling Agency. She has a personal assistant / BFF named Todd who takes great pride in being associated with Brooklyn Ash. She has vices, dangerous vices, and it wouldn't be really hard to figure that out either because Todd makes frequent trips to a certain high class dealer's flat daily.

If anyone wanted to find Brook or find out more about her, it wouldn't be very hard at all. But Darcy is very probably more interested in her well-being or her death, not out of any chivalrous concern or white knight complex but because of his duty to uphold the Masquerade. Is she lying dead half drained, a breach just waiting for the cleaning lady? Is he going to pick up the local news to read about some new murderer on the loose in Denver, biting and draining his victims just like Richard Chase? Or will he happen to drive by the Oxford and see hoards of media trucks and reporters so thick you can't even pluck them out as individuals? That's what Darcy is probably worried about, and any good respectable Camarilla Ventrue couldn't blame him.

And Brooklyn doesn't make it easy to assuage his concerns.

Todd comes then leaves then returns and doesn't leave again until the sun is set snug against the horizon.

Maybe he's cleaning up the mess - if there is one?

((Rapture, if you want to check into this or if you want a scene with Brooklyn, just grab me on AOL Instant Messenger. I'll be here this morning and into early afternoon!))
