Lost In Time (Blue Bloods Novel)

Intern Report #202

While retiring in nature, Schuyler displays an unerring ability to attract the attention of the opposite sex. She was spotted dancing with Jack Force at the fall Informals, and rumors have it that her infatuation with Duchesne’s most handsome and popular student may be returned. During the after-party at the Four Hundred Ball, she was spotted kissing a fellow masked reveler. Conflicting reports have the boy in question as Oliver Hazard-Perry, Kingsley Martin, or the most likely candidate, Jack Force.

Intern Report #303

Schuyler’s infatuation/relationship with Jack Force appears to have grown since she was ordered to move to the Forces’ town house after her adoption by her uncle, Charles Force. Several interns have confirmed sightings of Schuyler and Jack entering a residential building on Perry Street separately but within minutes of the other (real estate records show apartment 10 N. titled to the Benjamin Force Trust).

From a page from Schuyler’s journal:

“To love Jack is to ruin him, to risk his very life. His eventual bonding with Mimi is law, it is life and death. I must leave him. I cannot keep doing this to Oliver, who loves me so much and whom I love as well. I cannot live with the guilt anymore. I have to say good-bye.”



(Renfield’s notes continued)

Schuyler Van Alen was put to a Committee hearing after the events in Rio, where Regis Lawrence Van Alen was murdered. She has been on the run for a year since the trial, but we can assume she returned to New York, as she was spotted at the bonding ceremony of Madeleine (Mimi) and Benjamin ( Jack) Force at St. John’s Cathedral.

We have pieced together the story and have discovered that Schuyler was hiding in the city under the name Skye Hope, using her shape-shifting abilities to pose as the daughter of an ex-hippie traveling singer.

Details on the events at St. John’s are still coming to light. Eyewitness reports state that a silver mist appeared in the church, and the demon Leviathan himself abducted Schuyler, and they disappeared into the world of the glom. Venators on the scene reported that Jack and Mimi Force also disappeared at this time. Several minutes later, Jack and Schuyler emerged from the glom, Jack gravely injured and bleeding heavily. Guests at the scene testified they witnessed Schuyler offering her blood for him to drink. She was overheard telling him that as she was half human, that her blood could save him. Jack Force was then observed performing the Sacred Kiss on her, risking Corruption.

Schuyler was last seen at John F. Kennedy Airport with her faithful human Conduit/familiar, Oliver, but at the last moment, conflicting reports indicated that she entered the terminal with Jack Force, with Florence, Italy, as their possible intended destination.

Current Status: Missing. Suspected to have sought refuge in European Coven.

Allegra Van Alen is the current reincarnation of Gabrielle, the Uncorrupted, one of only two of our kind who was not cursed or fallen, but became a vampire by choice instead of sin.

Like many Blue Bloods of her generation, she began her education at the Duchesne School in Manhattan but transferred to Endicott Academy, a boarding school in Massachusetts, during her junior year. As a student, Allegra was known on campus as cheerful, spirited, and athletic; captain of the girls’ field hockey team and a natural-born leader. She made a stunning debut at the Four Hundred Ball on her eighteenth year, leading the cotillion with her brother, Charles. Town & Country christened her the “debutante of the decade.”
