Frank admits he did have an agent on the train looking for Nathan, his Were contact, , but as Nathan had called him that night, his agent was called off. Bethany Anne asks Frank for transportation to the USA, and Frank agrees, especially if he can get her to Florida by the next night, so that she might lead an operation against some Forsaken who had bee killing people for their blood. She agrees to do so, Frank providing the necessary gear. Frank provided a ride in an F-15 two-seater fighter jet.

Bethany Anne was picked up (Black SUV, black leather, bulletproof glass and super dark tint on the windows), and driven to the forward Operations Center, accompanied by two guards, John and Eric. On the drive, John apologizes to Bethany Anne for saying "Hell', and she initiated them into her experiences with cussing. "John, you’re going to have to grow a fucking pair if you’re going to cuss around me.There isn't a cuss word you butt-munches have ever said that could possibly offend me, and I give ten points to whoever can make me laugh." John and Eric laughed so hard they had to stop the car, and responded in a like manner, cussing, and regaling her with stories of their operations with Bill.

Agent-in-Charge Dan Bosse, best friend of deceased Bill, wonders how this agent will work out. He was hoping for a good contact. By the end of the operation, Dan Bosse would know that he never, ever wanted to piss this lady off. Then he was going to go pray that she would be the only agent he would have to work with for the rest of his career. Bethany Anne first calls herself "Queen Bitch" to describe her position in the family. Bethany Anne shows him her Vampire self, and Dan is convinced that this operation will become legend. Lots of action suiting up, priceless!

2 Nosferatu, taking lives. John Grimes, point with her. Dislodge one, kill it, find another just as Base radios that they are being attacked by 12. Bethany Anne goes to help the Base, leaving the four men to handle toe one. Bethany Anne takes out all; but one of hers, then realizes that it had gone back to harass her team. She needs blood, goes to the Medic van (Jesse Bivoreux), drinks available blood, transports Etherically to her men. John Grimes injured. Knifed in chest, broken leg, many smaller wounds. Drinks Bethany Anne's blood, is healed. Full team reports back to Dan as "Team Queen Bitch reporting!" The enemy needed to be put down!

Bethany Anne takes Frank's Team out to lunch (after the Everglades incident), catered at hotel. While at lunch, John receives call from Dan informing him that a bank robbery was taking place in south Miami. Bethany Anne heard the call (super-sensitive hearing), and volunteered to take over the operation, even though not anything to do with super-humans. Dan agrees,. Bethany Anne arranges meeting place.

Frank give her the info that there are three groups in the bank, one handling hostages, one hacking the servers, and one in the basement (explosives) Cameras are on the outside of the building to record police action, all doors locked and guarded. Bethany Anne decides to enter building from a helicopter, and hires Bobcat Aviation to pick them up in a nearby park. On way to park, Eric comments that humans might not like vampires handling their affairs, so whole team decides to go vampire, with purchased fangs and red contacts, to hide Bethany Anne's appearance. After pick-up, Bethany Anne transports Team down to roof of building (first time Etheric translocation used in event),assigns team to activities (John, Scott basement, Darrell, Eric hackers, Bethany Anne hostages), coordinates event, and takes down all bad guys excerpt for two, who will be delivered to Dan for informational purposes.

Meeting to take place at Queens Rockaway Peninsula, Fort Tilden, NY.,in a tunnel, away from the city so that the police could not get there easily. Boats, small drones, cameras for surveillance. Would be going with only John, Eric, Derrell and Scott, so all were wearing best protective gear available, helmets with cameras facing rear for better viewing, blood for energy and healing,ammunition silver frangible and silver laced, military grade bone conduction technology fort communications.Group also would use a flash-bang to disorient group if necessary (170+ dB noise ) .Council comprised of Gerry, Nathan, Jonathan Silvers, Bethany Anne,( 4 team members as guards for her).

Council and Bethany Anne stayed after meeting, discussing problems with discontents, Michael's stricture policies, his disappearance, etc. Decided that if any Were wanted to contact her, it must go to their Alpha, then to Pack Council, then to Bethany Anne via Ecaterina and Nathan. The 20 still-living uninvited were told of this procedure, and given this as a first warning. To violate it would bring harsh punishments.

Having met in Romania, when Nathan was hunting for Bethany Anne and Michael, Ecaterina was enamored of him, and asked Bethany Anne to allow her to come to America with her. Bethany Anne agreed, and after a wonderful shopping trip with Bethany Anne in Romania, they do indeed come to Nathan's house in New York. On the way in, Nathan treats her to a trip through Times Square. Nathan had been married before, over 30 years ago, and he had had no other interests since she and their son had died. On the Limo trip into town, Ecaterina ventured to sit close to him and sleep against him. He realized that he REALLY loved this woman. When he went to bed (alone), he looked at the pictures he had on his nightstand of his prior family and put them in the closet, deciding it was time to move on.
