[MH] Caribbean by Night

Hmmm... given the focus on the events in and near Galveston and their repercussions, I suspect at best Houston PD would ask their officers (only) to keep an eye out for the vehicle. The chance one of them saw such (and saw it heading in a useful direction) isn't great. The chance a highway patrolman saw it is markedly higher, but it looks like the only way Houston PD would find out is if one of their officers happened to mention it to a highway patrolman he happened to be friends with. You may wish to roll for either case (or do a single roll for "someone noticed the hearse and informed Houston PD"); the probability is probably rather low. If that happens, there's the possibility someone in Kessler's sphere of influence in the Houston PD could bring it to the attention of Houston's people prior to Ms Lee contacting Ms Talbot (which I assume would occur Sunday night or perhaps Monday morning, depending on how Lee opts to initiate contact and perhaps how often Talbot checks her email). I doubt that will happen - as stated, it strikes me as rather low probability.

Also, it never ceases to impress me the amount of fleshing out you're willing to do for such minor NPCs. The random clerk who fell victim to the cult is now the center of the personal tragedy of a family, with a fiancee hellbent (potentially literally) on discovering the truth and perhaps seeing justice done. Marvelous.
