'Plot' so far
Senator Whitmire's wife was kidnapped by unknown, possibly supernaturally motivated, assailant. Likely to black mail her husband. Mrs. Whitmire herself had recently left her husband (because he isn't a political sleazebag). The group was vaguely looking for the perpetrators, and the Malkavian vagrant wanted to join forces with the Garou to protect the senator. (Regardless of Garou interest, because he is insane.)

“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”
― Marcus Aurelius
