Three outsiders who entered the Laveau Clinic on Tuesday evening left under different terms. Witnesses described a standoff at the reception desk. An armed local woman with a caracal pressed a blade to a visitor's cheek before the group agreed to terms.

The contracts were arranged through clinic management as a community access program. Sheriff's Office contacts note the timing. Three new faces committed to bayou retrieval runs the same week that dock reports of altered returnees increased. The contracts connect to the Syndicate's contract system.

A department spokesperson said Port Laveau welcomes those willing to contribute. Residents are advised to note who leaves for the swamp this week.
