As Alessandra enters the restaurant she heightens her senses to see if she could hear anyone still lurking about the area.

As you all enter the back of the restaurant, you pass a storage area, and into the kitchen. it's dimly lit. You can see the front of the restaurant from here through double doors. There is a young woman there, collecting the last of the trash for the shift, and over by the bar, a manager type employee having a quick drink. From your vantage point in the kitchen, they haven't seen you. There is an unmarked door along one of the walls of the storage area.
You can. You can roll Manipulation + Persuasion, using a discipline that would, perhaps, add dice to that pool. Obviously, since you're intruding after hours, and they are suspicious of you all, you'll have to beat a DV of 5.
Meddling mortals were always so annoying to deal with. Alessandra saunters up to the remaining workers with the rest of the coterie, activating awe, and lays on the charm to get them the **** out and not say a word of their appearance here.

A combination of fear and anonymous financial gain from strangers quickly removes the two mortals from the scene. However, as they're exiting from the back, you hear a door slam open in the storage room and three figures - two men and a woman - emerge from the kitchen into the main restaurant - brandishing large pistols. They have a look of surprise on their faces with a touch of nervousness, and raise them to fire. You recognize them as the vampire intruders.
"It's them again!" the young woman shouts. "****!"
You have but a split second to decide what you want to do before they open fire upon you all.
DO NOT ROLL FOR YOUR ACTION JUST YET. WE ARE SIMPLY STATING INTENTION AT THIS TIME.
Victor doesn't reach for his gun at this moment, instead allowing his more talkative friends a chance to non-violently de-fuse this situation before killing time starts.
Victor lifts up his hands, aiding in any potential negotiations. "Hey, easy here. Let's not do anything that we'll regret now. We're just here to talk."

Sorrin raises an eyebrow and calmly states, "Do you really think pulling that trigger is gonna keep you alive? You're outnumbered, out gunned, and clearly out experienced." He makes a show of slowly rapping his fingers over the hilt of his blade. "So, if you want to keep your important bits...I suggest you lower those things, and act like civilized adults."
The three armed individuals all look at each other nervously, and back at you all. You can hear willpower breaking, as tensions are high, and someone might snap. Something inside kicked in, possible self preservation or common sense, but the three of them lower their guns. The woman speaks, a combination of fear and anger.
"Why are you here?" she asks. "We're just looking for a new home. What do you want?"
Sorrin raises an eyebrow, and clearly states, "Then you should have gone through the proper procedures, because as it currently stands....you're trespassing, on our territory."
Sorrin gives them a look of saying, 'Don't play dumb.' then sighs and speaks allowing his Daunt to break out, as he bears his fangs to them in silence. After a few seconds, he pulls the Daunting aura back into himself and states with a smile, "Does that answer your questions?"
“Almost..” The trio of people look at each other as if a suspicion being confirmed. “Where is Hooper?” the young woman asks again. “We are not leaving without him.”
Alana, looking slightly frustrated with the three, crosses her arms, takes a deep breath, and offers them a slight frown. "As it stands, we found your friend dead on our territory. So not only are we having to look into the death source of someone on our land, but we also have to deal with you intruding. Very pestering indeed. So, if you dont mind, having to deal with you trying to invade on our rightful territory is very distracting on our efforts of finding the cause of your friends death. It would be a much easier task to handle without having to multitask keeping the control of our territory."

Victor steps up to offer some support to Alana's lie. "We offer our sincere condolences about your friend, but my companion is right, we can't investigate this murder and keep an eye on you at the same time. If you could vacate our territory, that would be a huge help."

Sorrin, readies to back up whomever goes into the door, and has Lup watch the street for potential witnesses.
Victor walks in the back door after the employees leave, with Sorrin behind him, motioning for the ladies to follow them in.

Alana allows the others to head inside first before calmly following after, stretching her arms slightly and keeping a close eye out around them.

Can we bribe the employees to leave the store without asking questions so that we can carry on with our business without having to worry about them?

"What my friend is saying is that we're vampires, and that this is our territory, which makes it our home and you the intruders."
