(Tramps in the garage, so he's already there. I think?)
West side of Town: A few nights back.
There's blood on the windowsill. That wouldn't be too bad, if the window in question weren't ten stories up, but as things stand, it might be a bit of an oddity. The police are going to look at that, notice the distinct lack of fire escape and of a body in the alley below, and start asking questions.
Then, when the coroner reports that the body on the sofa has been sucked dry of blood, more questions are going to be asked. Someone will eventually put two and two together, and get fangs, and then my ass is going to be in a sling because it's my Master who's responsible for this whole mess.
So, I've got to be the one to clean it up, otherwise, Prince "I have a stick shoved so far up my ass, it ought to paralyze me" Sinclair is going to use this as an excuse to turn my Master into ash, and put me into a body bag.
And while at this point, I could really give a rats ass about what happens to my Master, I sure as hell don't want to get crucified because he's a binge eater.
So first things first. I smash the place up as quietly as I can. There is some blood left in the body, so I splash that around as evenly as possible, taking care not to leave boot prints. Whatever valuables I find in the process, I scoop up, hopefully some bored homicide detective will write this off as another case of a crackhead knocking over an apartment and finding the resident home.
The fix won't hold up to intense scrutiny, but it will take cops down the wrong road if they actually mount an investigation.
Then I take the body and toss it out the window. I wait a second for that wet "thump" I know and love from way too many of these cleanup jobs, then I concentrate for a second and slough off my human shape like, well, screw the metaphor. If anyone's looking for where the body in the alley came from, all they're going to see is a raven heading up into the night.
Mind you, I'm one very pissed off raven, but it's hard to tell that sort of thing from a distance.
