"Do you have any fucking idea of the PR mess you've made? And who fucking has to clean that shit up? Me. Not you, me. I should drain every one of you bastards." Nan shouts at the sitting group.

"Stan went after the church on his own. None of us knew anything about it."

"Oh, really. Because everyone who met Stan in the last 300 years knew he had a kink about slaughtering humans. But you, his nest mates, his sheriff, had no clue." She rolls her eyes.

"And how were we supposed to know that this time he meant it?"

"Not my problem. Yours." Nan points to Godric.

"Don't talk to him that way," Eric growls at the distraction shown.

"Don't talk to me that way. Let's get to the point. How did they manage to abduct you?"

"They would have taken one of us sooner or later. I offered myself."

"Why?" The silence in the room is stifling as they wait for Godric's answer.

"Why not?"

"They wanted you to meet the sun and you were willing?" her disbelief is clear.

"What do you think?" Milo grabs Godric's hand and squeezes it tight.

"I think you're out of your mind. And then I hear about a traitor."

"Irrelevant. Only a rumor, I'll take full responsibility."

"You bet you will."

"You cold bitch." Eric sneers at Nan.

"Listen, this is a national vampire disaster and nobody at the top has any sympathy for any of you. Sheriff, you fucked up. You're fired."

"I agree. Of course, Isabel should take over. She had no part in my disgrace."

"Godric, fight back," Isabel says shocked that Godric was just accepting this.

"What are you saying? She's a bureaucrat, you don't have to take shit from her." Eric stands

"You want to lose your area Viking?" Nan glares at Eric.

"You don't have that kind of power." Eric glares right back.

"Hey I'm on T.V. Try me," Nan says haughtily. Godric clears his throat and everyone turns to face him. The clear disapproval and anger on his face make them shrink back.

"You do not have that power Ms. Flannigan, so watch what you say to my child. You are here as a mouthpiece for the Authority and a mouthpiece only. Even if you weren't, I am over 2000 years old. What member of the Authority would choose to punish me if I decided to end you here for this insult?" Godric asks.

Nan nods and they get back on track showing more respect to the older vampires. "Tell me about the bombing, please. Every single detail."

"A boy walked into the lair. I thought he was someone's human companion."

Godric walks out of the room with Nan and finds Milo and Eric waiting for him. Godric smiles at Milo, "Are you ok with one of my people taking you to your house? I need to talk to Eric, but I'll visit you tonight."

"Yeah, no problem. I'll write my address for you and leave it in your hotel room." Milo smiles and heads back to the room.

Eric watches Milo leave for a second before looking down at Godric's smile. " For a second there I thought you were going to meet the sun."

"I was." Godric walks to a small seating area at the end of the hallway and sits.

"Father, why? Why didn't you?"

"Milo," Godric says simply.

Eric drops to his knees and looks up at Godric. "You were together for two nights how did he convince you?"

"We just... talked. He promised to help me enjoy life again."
