Alana lets the blood rush to her skin, causing her to go naturally flush. The beast stays quelled within her, satisfied by her breakfast... for now. She adjusts her outfit a little before stepping out of the hummer and approaching the first house, following behind those who want to lead the way, preparing her need to carefully smooth talk info out of the mourning families.

Sorrin attempts to call up the Blush, but finds that today it is harder and more taxing to summon. His body groans at him for food, the beast inside tells him what kind. It's still bearable for now, but he should find someone to feed off of soon. Following behind everyone, he focuses a little inward to better leash his hunger.
There was a severe lack of conversation in the car while they drove to the house of one of the victims, Carl Thrush. Alessandra, instead of taking her normal place in the front, sat in the back with Sorrin and Alana, and kept staring out the window. The silence would be broken by Sorrin playing classic rock music, which deep down she was thankful for because the silence had become deafening.
When they finally arrived at the location, Alessandra got out of the car, rousing her blood to give her the 'natural' flushed look. She would not be stricken with hunger yet thankfully as it was something she really did not want to deal with right now. When she sees everyone is ready, she strides up to the door and gives it three knocks and waits for an answer.

Sorrin decided to pull his weight and stepped to the front of the grieving family. Combining his business experience with his empathy and understanding of loss.....and some Awe inducing magic. He made a subtle gesture for them to know, that they'd be okay, and that their son was in a better place now.
"Carl claimed to have plenty of enemies. People who wished him ill and often assaulted him. But, we've never seen these people. Carl was a successful businessman, and paid for room and board here living with us. He told us to "get rid of all of his still is something happened" so we burnt all of his belongings. He had a lot of chemisty stuff, computers, and unsent packages. His business involved a lot of chemistry, you see. Strange smells, lots of packages going out. All of his contacts were on his computer."
That's all the family knows, or is willing to tell you.
Alana listens to the family talk for a minute, slowly and casually walking wide of the group in thought. Her eyes flash to Sorrin's for a moment as she slowly inches farther towards the side of the house. Hoping he gets the message, she attempts to sneak around the side of the house and find an open or unlocked window To get inside the house.

Sorrin, noting Alana's movement from the corner of his eye, keeps eye contact on the family and smiles charmingly. "Well thank you for your time~" He kicks up his foreign accent and adds a bit of flare to his tongue, before looking over to the mother/wife of the house, "Now madam~ If you ever want to know what it's like to be with a man who knows how to comfort a woman, just let me know~" He gives her and her husband a wink, which then cause the two of them to go red. Albeit for very different reasons.
The husband begins to get up in Sorrin's face, shouting at him while his wife remains flustered. Sorrin for his part simply maintains the smile and looks at the husband, "Now now, there's no need to be impolite. If you're so confident in your abilities, she wouldn't even consider me~ So what do you have to worry about?~"
Alana attempts to find a window that is unlocked, cursing as she struggles miserably to find one. She peaks her head around the corner of the house and stares down Victor, gesturing him over with a finger.

Naturally, after such an insult, the family asks you to leave, and promises to contact the local police department first thing in the morning for such a awful unprofessional thing to do as a member of law enforcement.
Victor looks out of the car window, seeing Sorrin say something to get the husband riled up as part of a ploy to create a distraction. He didn't know what Sorrin said to get the man upset, but he figured that it was one of the standard things that got humans upset, playing his part in this song and dance. Victor had come across a fair deal of vampires that saw humans as prey. Victor, did not share that same view, if only for the fact that most predators don't demean themselves when they interact with their prey. Interacting with humans was largely a task that Victor found as insulting to his intelligence. If anything, Victor viewed humanity as perpetual children. He turns to Misha and points out of the window. "That right there is why I don't try to talk to humans as infrequently as possible. It's demeaning."

After a minute of staring at Victor, Alana eventually gives up with a defeated sigh and strides her way casually back over to the hummer, offering the couple an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry. He's new. We'll be sure to deal with him when we get back to the station." She turns to slightly glare at Sorrin, the anger not really there as she restrains a slight smile. She then looks back to the couple seriously. "Thank you for your time. Have a good night" She then gets into the hummer, leaning in her seat slightly, waiting for the others. "Next house then?"

Victor pulls out his cellphone and starts recording. "This isn't going on the internet, but there's replay value in this and I'll be damned if I don't catch it." He then puts his phone back in his pocket when it appears that nothing interesting will happen. "Sure. Did you learn anything from this house?"
While that shit show had gone on, Alessandra just stared at the camera like she was on the office.
Alessandra returned to the car saying to the others, "It's either we get in the house or ask around the neighborhood if anyone knows more about him... Or both."

Sorrin gets in the care, chuckling at the entire series of events, "Not as much as we would have liked. Carl was apparently a chemist who contacted his business partners via computer. So he's a either a drug supplier, or something similar." Sorrin relaxes in the back of the car and wonders how the next house will be.
Alana narrows her eyes at Victor for a moment before hissing slightly. "Not much other than the guy was probably a drug dealer. We could have learned more with your help but SOMEONE decided filming was more important than the mission. Connard!" She crossed her arms and looks back out the window, waiting until everyone is in the vehicle before speaking rather demandingly. "Drive the damn hummer."
Victor turned to Alana. "You could've sent a text. It's 2019 and I'm not one of those vampires with mind powers." He drives the hummer towards the next destination. "A chemist that possibly deals in drugs. I imagine that a drug dealer would make a few enemies, one of whom might want to violently dispose of him. Although from the care taken in the kill, I doubt that it was a junkie. Perhaps it was a rival of his." He shrugs. "Hopefullywe'll find more clues at the other victim's home, but at the current moment, it seems like a dealer got killed, which sounds like it's more of a human affair than ours."

You knock on the door.
A traumatized family answers the door.
They seem a bit surprised to see so many of you at this time of night. Usually cops come during the day.
You start asking questions. They seem resistant to offer information.
Thing get a little more forceful.
Have one person make a Charisma + Intimidation roll. Lets see how much info we can get out of this family.

Misha took out one of her earbuds, turned to Victor. "No, no, this ees interesting, let's see how thees plays out." she snorted.
