I’m doing the rewrite. Two chapters down the drain. I think we’ll keep this to vampires and shapeshifters, and Edward and his friends, for the back-up. I talked it over with Jon and Darla, and I think the bad guys are more likely to kill hostages if the police show up. I think the vamps will think they have more options if they believe Anita is there in her capacity as Jean-Claude’s human servant. Afterall in Anita’s world there is only one penalty for vampires that harm humans – death. If they see police they’ll know that death is all she can offer them. If they see other vampires and shapeshifters, they may believe they have other options. It would at least give them hope. Hope is important in a hostage situation. You need the bad guys to believe there’s a chance they can walk away. If they don’t believe in that chance, they have nothing to loose. You don’t want people with hostages to feel they have nothing to loose.
