Darlin and Quinn

"Darlin", having grown increasingly distant from the Shaw Pack in recent years, begins a brief dalliance with a Vampire named Quinn. They quickly realize that he is a criminal with violent disregard for humans and report him to the Department. In retaliation, Quinn attacks an unempowered friend of "Darlin"'s. While "Darlin" is able to arrive in time and fight him off, he escapes. When the David and the Shaw Pack hear what happened, they attempt to rally behind "Darlin", but "Darlin" wants personal revenge on Quinn and believes that can be best achieved by distancing themself from the Pack to keep the others safe. They lie to David, saying that Quinn was apprehended by the Department, and they move back to Washington under the guise of recovery while actually planning their hunt.
