Saturday morning sees Bella with her notebooks about magic all in her knapsack, her medallion safety-pinned by its chain to her bra just in case she trips the wrong way, waiting with Charlie for pickup for the Avalon trip.

"I'm the cop you need, but not the one you want," he says, in the same deadpan. "I know the streets."

Charlie snorts. "Reason they don't set even terrible cop shows in Forks, you know."

Vernon laughs. "Yeah. Each episode would be uneventful. None of the constant serial killers that bad cop shows get."

"Traffic stops, vandalism, shoplifting, domestics, occasional missing person who just went on too much of a hike, that's about it."

"Heh. 'Tonight, on Bad Cop Show - some neighborhood kids need a stern talking to.'"

Off they go! There is a bored looking person sitting in a normal looking office. He looks up at them and says, "Ben's Warehouses, what can I do for you?"

"Huh. Yeah, go on in," shrugs the person at the door. "Gotta go through the motions of normalcy."
Vernon knows where the door is - it's the one that says 'Authorized Personnel Only.' The doorwatcher gets up, unlocks it, and opens it for them.

Darren gets the antlers and wings, deciding against the hooves for fear of being mistaken as a satyr.

Savannah goes full peryton except for bipedal form and opposable thumbs. As promised, she is quite pretty - a dark shimmery black, with little speckly grey-blue spots on her back.
She is quite smug about the whole affair.
