Yeah,...house rule. For the story's sake I introduced this kind of vampire
as well.

This would be a nice solution were it not for the fact that the polis leader
was a level 3 contact (friend for life, I-will-take-a-bullet-kinda-friend),
and I don't see how someone's dying wish could be bought of when it comes to
a level 3 contact. Neither would the screwing over part.

The only way I see out of it, is to give them a fighting chance, too bad the
group consists of:

Troll Mage - The polis will take no chance with the fragger,
B&E specialist - Has a snowball's chance in hell to survive any combat, this
is one that always stands at the back cheering the rest of the runners on.
Assassin - Who actually has a chance of survival, but I doubt he'll manage
to throw the dice in his favor, as this man is born with bad dice-luck.
Sam - Infected runner,...soon to be toast as he is planning to join the
vampire posse.

*sigh*
