243 - The Committee

2019

    Cammeo              Lu              Harmonia

A few minutes earlier ...

CAMMEO:

You’re part of the Committee?


LU:

Yes. I was sent here to watch over you and your sister. Had we known that she'd been returned to human form, I would've come sooner. Given her history, we were concerned about the state of her mind. I'm only 

sorry our suspicions were justified.

LU:

… I've already told Herita I'll be escorting her to England - to the Committee. We have experts who’ll try to help her. She's not the first 

Seeker to lose her way.

CAMMEO:

But she isn't a Seeker, not anymore. She hasn't been one

for almost 170 years now.


LU:

But she was a Seeker before she became a vampire, back then. That’s when 

her troubles began. The Committee failed her, and you. You should not have 

been the one to deal with her destructive behavior, then or now. 

CAMMEO:

Were you part of the Committee then?


LU:

No, I'm not nearly as old as you. I’ve only been with them for a few years.    

LU:

… Here we are. Herita’s inside. I'll give you a few minutes to say good bye.

Then ...

LU:

Why are sitting here, Harm?


HARMONIA:

I’m guarding the door.


LU:

That's not necessary. If Herita tried anything, Cammeo would stop her.

HARMONIA:

I know that. I'm here to stop Karanthir from goin' in. I expect him to be along any minute now.  And I'll tell ya something else Louisa …

HARMONIA:

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Syrrah were to show up too. I suspect 

she's gonna be more difficult to deal with - but I'm hoping 

she'll arrive after you and Herita have gone.

LU:

About that, I'll need to be away for a few weeks and 

I'm not comfortable leaving you behind.


HARMONIA:

Are ya thinking I'm about to lose my marbles again?


LU:

That’s a possible …

HARMONIA:

Well don't you worry yourself no more. Bo’s coming to get me.


LU:

Bo?


HARMONIA:

Yes Beau. You remember him - my husband.


LU:

Of course, I'm just a little surprised ...

HARMONIA:

…That he'd drop everything and come for me. Well I'll have you know that he 

and I have been corresponding. I done told him that you’d be goin' away and he invited me to come home and visit with my babies for a spell.

LU:

That’s wonderful Harm. I think a little holiday will do you good.
