hey, so remember my theory that Treasure is getting their memories wiped? I think it's even more possible now.
Because imagine, they get kidnapped, authorities are getting involved and no one will know! Why, you ask?
Sweetheart is apparently dropping the job. And while it's good for them, they may be the key point that somehow keeps the situation under control.
hold my hand as I walk you through what my brain came up with :))
Treasure gets kidnapped, that's a given. Being connected to a clan and on top of that, to the Blade himself is a dangerous thing to have on their shoulders. Authorities step in because of course they are, they get rescued by them or by the vamps but they get taken - vampire law may be above the human and empowered one, but Treasure is no vampire. They don't subject to that.
First instinct Porter has, is to obviously, go and rescue them (and probably fix the mess he caused by not getting them the informed unempowered status) but he would have a better chance of doing so while getting help from someone familiar. Or at least, more eager to lend their hand in the matter, than a random officer behind the desk. Sam says so, at least, trying to cool down the furious and anxious vamp.
So Porter, not knowing what to do, calls Vincent, asking for help, maybe even pleading. Because as he said himself, Vincent is the only one he sort of can ask for something like this. And he started to trust him, more or less, when they both figured each other out. And Vincent, ever the friendly vampire, asks Milo because why wouldn't he help Porter? He knows how it feels to lose someone close to him. Everyone in the pack knows that Milo is deep in the department, not only due to his father (bleh) but also because of his partner. And when Porter's hope rises in the certainly hopeless situation and he can almost feel his love going back to him, maybe even uscathed...it turns out Sweetheart quit. And there's no friendly Investigator to help them both. And Treasure file is nonexistent because well, they're uninformed. Officially, at least.
And the memory wiping proceeds before Porter can do anything about it. There's much you can do with a proper name and connections, but when both fail, how much can you achieve on your own? He may be a Solaire, but the clan got weak. And with the weakened status, who will give a damn about the respect? Especially with a threat bigger than the private matters of some vampire and his human lover?
oh Treasure, you're so doomed either way
