"Uh, are we gonna fight, or is there just gonna be a monster sarcasm rally?" - A Vampire in Buffy Episode "The Freshman"
We haven't really said much about the car accident about two weeks ago, when Bree, Kirsten, and their driver's ed teacher were involved in a hit-and-run by the people who are after Clare. Bree and Kirsten are getting over how scary the accident was, and Clare is getting over feeling guilty over the fact the girls were involved because we took her in. Other than that, we haven't said anything because there hasn't really been anything more to report, on our end.
The police's end is another story. Ever since the girls made a police report, the constabulary has been trying to track down the people who hit their car. Our city doesn't have a lot of crime for an urban area, but our police force is really good. Eventually, they figured out who was involved. Today Kirsten and Bree had to go to court to testify about what happened. (Leaving out the part about vampires, of course.)
Turns out? Leaving the scene of an accident is a crime. So are obstruction of justice and evading the police, which apparently have happened in the meantime. The scary vampire hunters will be doing some jail time. They'll all be deported subsequently, and won't be able to return to Canada for a prescribed length of time. If they can't get into the country legally, it'll be a lot harder for them to come after our friendly local vampire.
So... for now, Clare is safe. Eventually they'll probably find a way to come back, it they're so inclined; Canada and the US have the longest undefended border in the world, and it's not impossible to sneak in. It'll be more difficult for them, though, and maybe they'll just give up.
Funny (but in a good and very relieving way!) that the mean vampire hunters were fought off not with violence, but with the consequences of a traffic offence! :-)

Well that's a novel approach to apprehending evil vampire hunters - traffic court! Something to keep in mind for the future. We are glad that Bree, Clare and Kirsten are recovering from the mental trauma of the accident. I understand why Clare feels guilty. I would too. But she isn't to blame!

That's awesome! I hope the vampire hunters aren't able to come after Clare again. Who knew traffic court could have a good point?

Thanks, guys! We were pretty pleased.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, this just takes care of the human vampire hunters - the mean vampires are still out there, and they all have reasons to hate Clare. At least our list of enemies is cut in half for now, though. The sunny weather lately seems to be keeping the vampiric crazies at bay.
Traffic court definitely has its uses, as long as you aren't the one who broke the law!
Love,
Kirsten
That is terrific news...I'm happy for you girls! Who knew a traffic violation could be such a good thing?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that Kirsten, Bree, and Clare are doing better.

Thanks, Sabine! We're really relieved. The accident was really scary but we're doing better now. The next time we drove was tough, but we're getting used to it again.

I'm really glad everyone is okay and that Clare is safe!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Keesha! At the moment, Clare is more like 50% safe... but we'll take that over the alternative!
