Newborn vampires, especially without a sire to guide them, were dangerous creatures. And Coward highly doubted that the sire of this one had been keen to stick around. Especially since Millicent knew nothing about the turning of a new vampire. Which lead to her wanting more information.

Coward had... Well. He'd half volunteered himself. It had also been suggested that it might help his standing if he did it.

So, he started in Greenwich. The last thing he needed was tensions coming to a head over something stupid. Which was basically the definition of anything a newborn might do. Besides, as Commissioner, he also needs to be seen to be doing something (even if it's from a procedural standpoint of paperwork) about the havoc being caused there. It's not just the new vampire who has something to answer for, oh no. The sire will be subject to as many penalties as he can think of.
