MENTIONS OF VIOLENCE, BLOOD, DEATH

FINCH ARCHES her brow as she, Elena and Rose stepped from Rose's car in the underground parking lot below Slater's apartment. The girl cringes, accidently stepping into a puddle by the car door. She scoffs, stepping sideways out of it to shake her foot off,

"Charming." She mumbles sarcastically, walking forward ans trying to ignore the squish in her shoe

She follows behind Elena, a deadpan expression on her face as she looks at her; annoyance shining clearly as she looks back at the brunette. Elena gives her a comforting smile and takes her hand, somewhat calming the girl. The trio of women ascend a staircase, Finch guessed it would lead them to Slater's home.

Elena gasps, eyes blow wide as the vampire moves to Slater's body and drags it away, making the bruentte cringe. Finch pats her shoulder and turns around, walking into the living room, where Slater held his computer desk.
