         “Werewolves are real, now?” Shaun snarls, and Xander sighs. He and the woman retreat to the relative safety of inside the mausoleum instantly, and Rebecca and Shaun follow after. Rebecca would actually be more excited about the prospect if not for the fact that she doesn’t particularly want to get torn apart. Unless they’re friendly? Maybe they’re friendly. They’re not lucky enough for that to be the case, but she can hope.
         “Yeah, unfortunately. As are vampires. We heard there was a mercenary pack for hire in town; that’s why we’re here. I was keeping an eye out. We can’t outrun them.” ...There goes that hope. Ah well. It was nice while it lasted. He unzips his bag and pulls out a pistol, pressing it into Shaun’s hands with no hesitation, like he knows that despite his lack of Field Assassin status, the man takes his target practice deadly seriously. “And yeah, I kinda should’ve been more prepared, my fault. I didn’t grab my extra ammo today, so the bullets in there, that’s all the silver ammo I’ve got.” The woman makes a disgruntled, disapproving noise, and the guy looks sheepish. “Yeah, yeah, I know, my bad, always be prepared. Your regular guns will do damage, though, even if they’ll take a truckload. Maria, you’ve got your silver bolts, right?”
         She’s already loading what looks like a pure silver shaft on the crossbow and raises an eyebrow at him. “You’re lucky some of us can look after you.”
         “Yeah.” He agrees without a hint of shame. “Okay, I’m going to call for backup and hopefully they can get here in time, even the odds a little. One last thing, very important—don’t get bit. The saliva’s the thing, like rabies.”
