Darnell: *curls in on himself, shuddering...shakes his head* What the Dalimars did needs to never, NEVER be repeated.

Cipher: /Agreed/. Which is why we stepped in when we heard they were going to take you to try to get details from you of the contraptions you ruined. Especially the soul locks, the machines that allowed Charles and Victor to live so long, and whatever it was that brought the women and girls back to life. These things interest this group greatly and they'll do anything to get the information that want. *a beat* That said, we /are/ watching your family, along with Officer Blackwell and his family to make sure no one targets them... *just... thought Darnell may want to know that.*

Darnell: ..........what about Emma? And Charlotte?

Cipher: We had to relocate them. The group went for them first. Gave them a hell of a scare, but didn't harm them. They're safe.

Darnell: ....... *face in his hands in relief* They've been through so much already. Especially Char.

Cipher: *nods* They're safe. We've moved them into a couple of our safe houses and got them set up with what they need to live good lives for a long time.

Darnell: *small frown* Trapped not knowing where they are, like this place...?

Cipher: *shakes his head* No, not at all. This is a base, a safe house is a normal house in a normal location. They're living in new places, but they do have people around them, and they know where they are.

Darnell: And they know who moved them again and why?

Cipher: *nods* They know. *more than he'd like, but they needed to feel safe where they were. The women were grateful to him and his team, recognizing that the Ghosts had saved them from a possible repeat of what the Dalimars has put them through.*

Darnell: ........... *nods* Will I be allowed to know where they are? *after his last bout with the senior-most Dalimar, he's made a point of keeping up with the remaining two women*

Cipher: *nods* They requested I let you know. 

Darnell: *can't help but /grin/ at that* Thank you. So . . . what now? What happens to me, and what about this cult?

Cipher: Well... you’re a bit of a special case. Normally we’d set you up in a safe house. It’s... essentially a fresh start. You cut ties and disappear. Think witness protection program. Except you... really can’t. I mean... you /could/, technically, but I’ve got a feeling you’d much rather return to your job, hm? Anyway, since we can’t just make you disappear, I’m afraid you’re going to be stuck with us for a while, at least until we can get a better handle on this group and either stamp out their threat entirely, or break it down enough that the remnants scatter to the wind. How long that will take...I can’t say for sure...
