| Using their various contacts they found that that Jacob Dover had purchased the Slaughterhouse quite recently. He was born in Rhode Island, but grew up out of the country and had just returned 2 years prior. Apparently, his mother had died in a boating accident while saving him from drowning, and his father sold the company he had inherited to go on extended travels a year later. The police had looked into Dover for buying some amount of pharmaceutical grade alcohol, but he had the required license.

The two boys that fell from the sky had been sent to rough up the Black dealer, but they hadn't reported back before heading to Dover. The Irish enforcer, O' | ||

| + | James insisted on informing his boss, so they all retreated to the nearby Wild Flower speak-easy. While the guys hung at the bar Evelyn and Rosalie studied the two diaries and uncovered some details of the magics that were in play. Soon after the Mobsters arrived to put an end to all this and the investigators joined to watch the attack from afar. | ||

| + | Just as the Irish started their assault, two nightgaunts snatched Evelyn out of the car and brought her into the factory. A somewhat aloof Jacob Dover welcomed her and was happy to use her as a hostage, thinking she belonged to the Mob. Augustus and Fred joined the attack to make sure she gets saved.

It initially stopped when at the river bank, but after being taunted by several more salves of machine gun fire it attempted to jump over the stream. Some of its tentacles reached the other side, but its main body landed in the stream and it started to dissolve while trying to pull itself out of the water.
