-Lep HQ, The Lower Elements-

Captain Holly Short lay strewn about the clutter of papers of maps. She gritted her teeth in frustration. Over two blocks have been intoxicated with the drug and in each passing second, another would be fully intoxicated and they would move on into the next and the next. An endless crusade. She closed her hands over her ears. She couldn’t take their cries and pleading. I don’t understand. She thought. Why is this happening? Holly whacked the table with her clenched fist. She couldn’t uphold how much damage she wanted to do against this new cult in Haven. She would not give into them. She wouldn’t let a group of lowlife drug dealers take control of her life.

Root walked into the room, a stack of old pictures of past criminals and maps pointing out locations in the city on his hands. He dropped it onto the table leaving a loud banging noise echoing off the walls and ceiling. His face was purple with rage.  “Foaly, do we have a location on where this cult might be?! And Holly, I need you to assemble your troops and head over to the abandoned warehouse east of here!”

“Sorry Sir, I don’t have a location on them yet.”

“D’Arvit!” Root cursed.

“Sir, the troops are still handling the problem over at the shoot out in the burger joint.”

“Curse this cult, dig dang it!” Root hollered. “First, the burger joint is being shot up by their gangs and now we have to take care of another shoot out at the east warehouse! Don’t we have enough problems at hand?!”

On the LEP’s point of view, all chaos and destruction has truely broke loose from the hells. At first, this cult seemed nothing more than an annoying nuisance. The cult noticed this and thought that they should give the fairy police a piece of their minds. They wanted to show them just how dangerous they could be. And it looks like that plan worked out well. A little too well.
