[edit] Summary
Hudson, Goliath, Brooklyn, and David Xanatos watch the Nightwatch story about their clan. Meanwhile a Quarrymen helicopter flies by the castle, searching for gargoyles. Goliath departs the castle to visit Elisa Maza to calm his frazzled nerves. On his way there, Art shoots at him. Goliath perches above his window, and destroys his gun, saying that gargoyles are not his enemy, returning to him the destroyed gun.
Vinnie Grigori makes his way to 443, the Quarrymen's base, after John Castaway had seen him on Nightwatch. At the meeting, Castaway inspires the crowd to join the Quarrymen, a group dedicated to protecting themselves from the gargoyle menace.
Around midday, Matt Bluestone and Maria Chavez discuss the gargoyles front in the partially destroyed 23rd Precinct. At dusk, Cagney wakes Elisa for food, shortly before a Quarrymen helicopter discovers a sleeping Goliath. They report it to Castaway, who gathers reinforcements. Elisa discovers the Quarrymen before they can destroy Goliath, and stall them until he wakes up. The two flee, but are shot down by the helicopter.
