Wow, the new police station had two floors and it was new and he was loving his new desk as he waited for Alice. It was about time that him and Alice got a pay off in a new station for all the hard work that they had put in. Alice Seraphim

This was an improvement on the office they shared in the Security Services HQ and it was closer to the action and their cases. It also made co-operation easier with the rest of the Ashford PD given how spread they were getting across the island. The last adventure in Browns Bay closely followed by the terror attack by STRIFE had been far from easy to deal with. So this was the reward they got. New offices and more work. With all their equipment moved in this was going to be an all nighter just to get back on their cases. She had arrived with a full coffee pot and paper cups. She also had her laptop and notebook ready to get to work in their new shared office. "Now we have all we need" Alice said placing the coffee pot and cups on her desk. At least she hoped the twins were behaving for Lucas. Francis Dominic

The new office was sweet he thought and it seemed to have two stories too that was a fantastic surprise but even then work had to be done but he was okay with that. "I put a few files on your desk for you to look over but it's no rush at the same time. I tried to also note and underline the cases going on with the cult as I am calling them but that was a rough night with a lot going on." Alice Seraphim

"Yeah those cultists are a major pain in our asses" Alice agreed. "When I got a chance to check the 'children of valdoz' with interpol it was clear we weren't the only place they'd set up shop on. They have also fled the states of California, New Mexico and Texas before coming here. Presumably one step ahead of the law. The same reasons apply. Suspicious deaths of members, sometimes illegal ownership of firearms and the fact they are an asset grabbing scam. Now they're broken up here we don't have them all yet. The ones who were wavering are getting the help they need to recover from the ordeal but there's still that hard core who stayed with the sky father; the ones with the guns and they're hiding somewhere" she added. "So we can get on illegal posession of firearms and attempted murder for starters. Then you'd have extradition cases after that. Our counterparts in those states would certainly want their hands on them" Quite a summary as at least half of the original members were still at large but staying very quiet so far. Francis Dominic

The pile of paperwork was entirely too massive but he had a feeling that by the time the morning came him and Alice would be able to work through it. He slowly sipped his coffee as he listened. "So far it seems like the charges are going to write themselves but one can never be too careful," he said. This was something he knew that him and his partner both knew all too well. "Not going to lie Alice the cases do seem to be getting stranger but I still feel like we make a pretty good team despite it all and this just shows it." Alice Seraphim

You always had the paperwork as you could count on having a hard copy even if the computers were down. So opening the file at the top of her pile she poured her own cup of coffee. “It seems simple enough so far. I’ve stayed in touch with Anton and Luis and they’ve been keeping an eye out. I also sent Pixie squad into the area to check out their compound. It was totally abandoned. They found records and other firearms that will build the case against them. Perhaps they went to ground in the south of the island”. An Ashford Security Services commando team could also investigate a crime scene and they had the firepower to deal with surprises. “I think the strangeness is already here and always was. Also people do see our nation as either a promised land for oddity kind and even humans think it’s a better place to be. We’re like the wild west right now if you really think about it. We even have new settlements like the Wild West towns that are establishing themselves” she added. She knew they made a great team. Now she hoped others could follow after them as this young nation got established. Francis Dominic

It was true especially since Francis could not really remember a time when anything he did was normal. Aside from having a kid which even then for him that whole family situation was out of the side weird at times as well but right now his focus was work and he found that to be good. He listened and then spoke. "I hardly ever go to the south side of the island even with police work so that makes sense," he said as he stood up in order to start walking and stretch his legs. "A cult was living and probably is in small parts still living right here. A part of me finds that amazing but then another part understands why they might have banded together but that is as far as I can allow it as an officer of the law." Alice Seraphim

"It was my first time down there as well; we found a lot more than just a body and what's left of the cult could easily camp out down there and not be found. So I think they're still there with bruised pride on their mind. They think they've missed their flight to the stars. At least I think we cut them off from a supply line. It's not as if they can easily restock either" Alice replied as Francis paced. "They can't stay hidden forever for that reason. While I believe in freedom of religion there's a trail of bodies, grifting and illegal firearms that followed them here. So that makes them criminals" she added. So they needed to be brought in so the law could be enforced. She did consider that a lot of them might prefer to die on their feet instead. Francis Dominic

"It is a lot of evidence against everyone who may or may not be involved which is also why I know we have to be even more careful when we go out now." He did not think that him and Alice ever slacked but they did have dangerous jobs. The on again off again strife attacks also did not help but one thing at a time. "I need to go get a folder I left upstairs that should only take me a second so be right back." Alice Seraphim

"It will take a lot to break the case down into charges against individuals. I guess that's why we have to do all nighters from time to time" Alice mused as the cultists who had left the group were also witnesses of what had been going on. They needed kept safe as well. So seeing Francis leave she gave him a little wave. Sipping her poured coffee it was time to start this breakdown so the Ashford PD could finish the task off by finally arresting the missing cult members. It would probally be down to Alice and Francis to find them first of all. Francis Dominic

He turned and made his way when he thought he seen a small flash of movement outside of the department so his eyes immediately locked on it in case of trouble. He quietly followed it but seen nothing and told himself that it was a lack of sleep that was getting to him as he finally grabbed what he needed and made his way back to his desk. "Once this is at a good place I am going to get more sleep, eyes seem to be trying to play tricks on me." Alice Seraphim

Alice was jotting down on a page of scrap printer paper how many firearms possession charges and working out how many cultists she seen with those submachine guns when Francis returned. "Tell me about it" Alice replied in agreement. At least her toddlers slept most of the night by now. "We can at least clump the illegal possession of firearms together as one group of charges. I counted no more than twenty of them who were visably armed that way. They weren't trying to hide it. The ones who didn't break off and nearly reached the barricade before the local police and their deputies made them turn tail can clearly be charged with attempted murder. The Sky Father will get the book thrown at him" she mused as she also caught movement outside from the corner of her eye. At least they had windows to look out here. "Are the local PD vice squad busting the nightworkers again?" she posed seeing one of of those possible number leaving the building. Francis Dominic

He was never going to not feel safe on the island but after what him and Alice had seen even he knew that it was a little different now but work was being work and that was okay. He looked. "Maybe?" he said. "I don't know but I will tell you this and don't take it crazy but ever since everything it feels almost like I'm being followed, I have been chalked it up to paranoia however."

“It’s not paranoia when somebody is really after you and this cult clearly is pissed of with the both of us. A lot of them are still around so it’s possible” Alice replied. “You’re not crazy”. There were also enough other criminals who would be happy to see them dead as well but right now the cult was a danger to everyone. Just as much as Strife was. Francis Dominic

The last thing he wanted to sound like was that he was losing it because he did not feel like that but he knew that sometimes if you did not talk about it then it would drive you to that point but he did not feel anywhere near that point right now. "Good that does make me feel better," he said when he heard a knock on the door. That was unusual because no one usually knocked this late. "Grab your gun in case this is bad and I will answer the door with caution." Alice Seraphim
