Jack eyed him warily, surprised to find that he recognized the man. “Frank?”
“Don’t worry,” Frank flashed a grin, bright white against the red on his skin. “It’s not my blood.”
“If I find a dead animal in this house, I’m kicking you out.” Cass growled.

Rose growled quietly, hugging Eva closer to her side. "You're one of those guys from Jack's old pack."
"I'll just make sure you don't find it then." Carrie said cooly.

Cain had called Rose's phone 20 times in the past hour, and she wasn't answering. He dialed again, ring ring ring. "Rose, pick up..."

“What’s it to you?” Frank snapped.
“Or smell it.” Cass amended, reminding herself to reprimand the ‘wolf later.

"You're a lousy tipper!" Rose snapped back before finally noticing the vibrating of her phone at her hip. Keeping one arm gripped protectively around Eva, she wrestled her phone from her pocket. "What?!"
"I'll cover my collection in air freshners." Carrie scooped up her flip flops off the floor.

“Whatever,” Frank grinned a little. “You guys got a car? I wrecked mine?”
“Give me a reason to kick you out, Carrie.” Cass snarled, loosing her patience.

"Go way!" Eva snapped from behind Jack. "We don't want you here!"
"ladies, breathe." Xander sighed, standing up. "Carrie wouldn't put anything like that in my apartment, right Cars?"

“Fine with me.” Frank shrugged. “See how long Jack can keep you alive, unless he gets killed first. Then you’d be kinda screwed, huh?”
“Your apartment?” Cass arched an eyebrow at him.

"You think you can do better?" Eva snapped
"Well, in theory." Xander said sheepishly

“Two body guards are better than one.” Frank shrugged. “Better odds of us getting out alive. Or unbitten. They amount to about the same.”
“Why?” Cass crossed her arms over her chest. “Because it soothes your male ego?”

"And I'm supposed to believe you;ll actually protect a lowly human like me?" Eva hissed
"Well, my name is on all the checks." Xander shrugged

“If it keeps Jack from dying to save you, yeah.” Frank shrugged. “I watch your back, you watch mine.”
“Get dressed.” Cass snapped, storming out the front door.

"I can't trust you behind me." Eva growled
Xander rolled his eyes, relaxing on the couch for a long minute instead of following her order

Frank snorted. “Wouldn’t dream of taking Jack’s spot.”
Outside, Cass stomped around, following the scent to where the cars were parked.
“Hey!” She yelled at the shuffling figure. “Get the f**k away from my car, ape.” The man straightened and growled loudly before charging towards her. In an instant Cass knew where the blood smell was coming from, and it was very clear that this man shouldn’t be breathing, let alone walking around. She spent too long thinking and didn’t have time to run. She did have time to scream, but not before he’d bitten a chunk out of her arm.
“Xander!” She screamed again, kicking him away and scrambling for the front door.

"You don't know what you're missing." Eva smirked, then looked around nervously. "We need to find somewhere safe.
Xander was up and running from the moment the blood smell turned fresh. "Cass!"

Frank made a disgusted face, resisting the urge to gag. Jack shook his head. “I need to find my mom. After, we can go get Cain. Your mom’s out of town, right, Eva?”
“Go back inside!” Cass growled, kicking the guy away from her leg and almost catching up to Xander. “Just go!”

"Yeah." Eva frowned. "Vegas."
"Damnit Cass don't act like I could do that!" Xander snapped, grabbing her by the shoulders.

“Brother?” Jack questioned, ignoring the annoyed look Frank was shooting in his direction.
“I’d like to get out of here soon, if you don’t mind.” Frank complained.
“Move!” Cass snapped and shoved at his chest, not about to stop and argue while the guy was getting up and running towards them. They both tumbled through the door, Cass slamming it shut and throwing the bolt just before the man ran into it.

"Yeah." Eva nodded. "And as much as I abhor this, the idiot is right. We gotta find some place to hole up..."
"What the hell was that?" Xander snapped, staring at the door. "And why was it after you?"

“Gemme the keys.” Frank held out his hand. “I’ll pull the car around and we can decide where we’re semi safe.”
“Xand- oh, f**k.” Cass let out a shaky breath, sliding down to the ground and leaving a red streak everywhere her arm touched. She clamped her hand down tightly over the bite on her arm, too busy trying to stop the blood flow to even notice the deep scratches on her calves or the door shaking on its hinges behind her.
"I don't know, Xander. I don't know."
