Title: Anita Blake RP Archive 5
Post by: LadyJallyn on

(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y167/ladyjallyn/moon1a.gif)This thread is based of the world of the Anita Blake Books.(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y167/ladyjallyn/moon1a.gif)

The setting is in Seattle USA. The time is now.
(http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0SQDlAr0WRlolBfPpJZoDx8OqjUmVV5unBuZoNu03L8!6PXXyaexv4rNJuFPQ1GndxRoRY0r7HFeJyl*6odN2Z8isJaNMsmY378ZnQRKbJkuH4CYiq74hoQ/schnoerkel20.jpg?dc=4675478960589062041)

Vampires and lycanthropes are real. Everybody knows that. Magic is real. Everybody knows that too and accepts it. What they don't always accept is that vampires and lycanthropes have won a landmark case in the US Supreme Court and have full rights as citizens. It is now a crime to kill one in the USA and Canada. Other parts of the world still have bounties on them.

People can make a living using magic. There are specialists called Animators, who call the dead from their graves. The police routinely consult psychics and the Catholic church has its own covens of witches. It's a great time to be alive and a better time to be undead. Want to live forever? The Church of Eternal Life will make you a vampire. For a donation, of course.

It's not all hugs and puppies for lycanthropes, however. They are shunned, feared and discriminated against. Lycanthropy is contagious. Vampires eat people. Not everyone is willing to have them as neighbors, coworkers or friends. Life can be tough if you get furry during the full moon or have a permanent set of fangs. And being a vampire doesn't guarantee you a night job.

Hey life has its problems whether you're alive, undead or fuzzy. That is what makes it all so interesting..

Monday July 8th 8:53 pm Inside an unknown building - Seattle - David

David held out his arm, revealing a number of mostly-healed bite marks. "Here is good. Never the neck and never the groin. Take a seat and take a bite. Just promise me you'll roll me, okay? I don't want any more pain." Given the amount of pain in David's eyes, he'd seen more than his fair share in his short lifetime.

Monday July 8th 9:30 am - Seattle General -Tony

"I guess I'm just trying to delay the inevitable," Tony admitted, not meeting Lillia's eyes. "If your friend would be so kind, I'd appreciate a lift to the park."

Don grabbed Mike's arm. "We'll go ask,"he said, pulling Mike towards the door.

"That was subtle," Tony said dryly. "We've been alone together for how long, and Don thinks we need a little more time before we leave? No offense, Lillia but I want to get the Hell out of this cell."

Monday July 8th 8:01 pm - Archangel Tower - Father Domenic Sozio

"Are we expecting anyone else or is this it?" Domenic asked, knowing that he was stalling. "One thing I forgot to mention at the meeting this morning is the effect vampires have on blessed silver. If you have a blessed silver cross it will glow in the presence of a vampire, up to and including the point of being blindingly bright, if strongly presented or pressed against their flesh. It will also get very hot, burningly so. If you look closely, you will see that I am wearing a gorget of fine silver links around my neck. Each link has been blessed so if a vampire ever gets that close and it gets torn, each link can become its own little holy ring of fire. With luck, the vampire might swallow a few, not that it would make much difference to me at that point. I wear a thick felt pad under it because I had an associate once burn his throat to the point that he can no longer speak. The vampire lost his lower jaw."

Monday July 8th, 9:33 a.m. - - The Comic Shop - - Ryan

"We can always find something," Ryan said. "Even if there isn't a wolf looking for help, somebody will know someone. Hell, if you can stand the smell, we can probably get you a job at the docks." He sniffed. "Working with some wererats."

Monday July 8th 8:02pm - Archangel Tower - Maria Celes

Maria shrugged sliding her hands into her jeans. "Thurgar was waffling on coming and Davies said he had a ball game he had to take his kid out to. So its going to be the four of us it seems."

Monday July 8th 9:31 am- Seattle General- Lillia

She sighed lightly. "It isn't like he didn't hear our conversation anyways, he is just waiting outside the room." She shakes her head. "I assume that you don't have anything of value here, so shall we?" she said, offering her hand. " And don't worry, I'm nervous too." she smiled.

Monday July 8th 9:30 - 10:30 am - Streets of Seattle -Tony

Tony took Lillia's hand and laced his fingers through hers. His beast rubbed up against hers first cautiously, then with growing curiousity, as if it were trying to explore hers. By the time they reached the hospital lobby, he had managed to stop it from trying to crawl inside her skin but it had been a struggle.

The walk to the park was an exercise in sensation for the new wererat. Every smell, every sound was a new experience. It was as if he were learning to use his senses all over again. Don took the lead, subtlely clearing a path and chosing a route that avoided any potential trouble spots. Mike brought up the rear, grousing the whole time about having to be rear guard but it wasn't difficult to tell that he didn't really mind. In fact he seemed quite proud of the fact that he had been trusted to keep an eye on the people when might become the rodere's two newest members.

"Nick is going to meet us by the band shell," Don said as they entered the park. "He'll be wearing a black leather jacket."

"I hope it isn't going to be the one with all the zippers," Mike said. "It makes him look like a gay fetish model."

"Are you going to tell him that?" Don asked, smirking.

Mike chuckled. "Nope."

Monday July 8th 8:02 pm - Archangel Tower - Father Domenic Sozio

"Okay, pointers when dealing with vampires," Domenic began as he turned towards the main entrance. "Unless they have recently fed, a vampire will be pale and cold, so don't be surprised if the handshake is a little chilly. Avoid eye contact. If you are close enough, any vampire can roll you. Nigel Salvatore makes it easy by wearing sunglasses because he deals with the public so frequently. He doesn't want to have anyone crying 'undue influence'. He's a very persuasive man. He's had a lot of time to develop the ability to read body language and learn how to convince you that you're doing what he wants you to because it's your idea. I can tell you right now, I think I'm walking into his office based on a plan he's had in operation for some time. Whether that is or is not the case, I don't know. Maybe I'm giving him more credit than he deserves. Maybe I'm not giving him enough because if anyone had told me a month ago that I'd be going to the vampires for help twice in the same week I'd have told them they were on crack."

Monday July 8th 8:03 pm - Archangel Tower - Jack Shannon

"In this town they probably were" added Jack as he reached into the pocket of his pants and lightly fingered the platinum crucifix that was embedded in a oval shaped piece of onyx. "No eye contact and sunglasses don't help, I guess this will be my test run to see if I can do it" said Jack as he looked at the collar of Sozio's shirt. "If I start looking like I'm being rolled throwing something to knock me out of it"

Monday July 8th 8:04 pm - Archangel Tower - Suki

"Its just a precaution. Its unlikely that the vampire will do anything. After all this is to be a amicable meeting. Since we have th pointers out of the way shall we fall into step and watch Father Sozio at work?"

Title: Re: Anita Blake RP Board
Post by: Maxx on

Monday July 8th 8:04 pm - Archangel Tower - Father Domenic Sozio

"It doesn't work like that anyway, Jack," Domenic said. "If you get rolled, the only way you get out of it is if the vampire lets you out. There are several levels of rolling as well. There is the one that makes the bite not hurt and then there is the one that allows them to call you from across the city. You have no choice. You have to obey and you have to do what they command. It's illegal of course but it's also very difficult to prove if the vampire is subtle enough. Yes, Nigel Salvatore is subtle enough."

They were at the plate glass doors that separated the foyer of Archangel Tower from the outside. It was a bold move, using so much glass, given the lack of protection it gave from the sun. It gave the building an illusion of normalcy. Domenic wasn't fooled however. As he walked through the doors, his lips moved in a silent recitation of the twenty third psalm.

Monday July 8th 8:05 pm - Archangel Tower - Suki

Suki took in the architecture and made not of the people in the building her eyes scanned the room. She had more than enough book smarts and had graduated 2nd in her class for the preternatural degree. 4th in her class of 139 students in the police academy. Still she was nervous would all of her hard work and book smarts pay off here? She followed the Priest to the main desk where a woman sat and let Sozio do the talking.

Title: Re: Anita Blake RP Board
Post by: Maxx on

Monday July 8th 8:06 pm - Archangel Tower - Father Domenic Sozio

Domenic didn't even get the chance to speak. The woman, a living and breathing front line for the vampires of Archangel, smiled in greeting as he approached her desk. "Father Sozio and party of three? Please take the centre elevator to the mezzanine. Miss Aguilar will meet you there and take you in to meet with Mr Salvatore."

"Er, thank you," the priest replied, cursing himself for such a fumbled response. He moved off to the indicated elevator and once they were all inside, pressed the button for the mezzanine. He knew for a fact that if they didn't want you going there, pressing that button took you nowhere.

The doors opened onto an area that overlooked the lobby but was high enough that it was safe from the sun even if it was sitting on the horizon. Domenic had a fleeting image of Nigel Salvatore leaning on the railing, master of all he surveyed. No, not master. He is the public face for the real Master of the City, a vampire I have never met and one whom I have no desire to meet.

"Father Sozio?"

The woman looked to be in her late twenties, possibly her early thirties. No one would call her beautiful but she could easily be called handsome. She wore no make-up and her hair was pulled back in a severe bun. The business suit she wore was an Armani and probably cost more than any of them made in a week. Her faint accent was Spanish but only a fool would think she was Mexican. Her face had the high cheekbones and proud lines of a Castile.

"Miss Aguilar?" he asked, knowing he was correct in her identity and hoping he was correct in his pronunciation.

She nodded once. "Mr Salvatore is expecting you. Are any of you allergic to cats?"

Title: Re: Anita Blake RP Board
Post by: LadyJallyn on

Monday July 8th 8:06 pm - Archangel Tower - Suki and Maria Celes

Both of the police women shook their heads indicating that neither of them had a problem with cats. It seemed a mildly unusably question Celes thought, but remembered her training earlier that day about vampires sometimes having animals to call. Could it be the one they were to see called cats. Surely it wasn't an impressive animal. They were so common and weak in comparison to a wolf or more larger and lethal animal.

The womans outfit made Maria inwardly wish she had come in her uniform but she kept quiet and tried to not betray her thoughts. Her face was a carefully neutral years on the force had helped her perfect it. She knew cops with better faces but she could play with the best of them.

Suki gave Miss Aguilar a polite nod and just the hint of a bow. This was Father Sozio's show. She would watch and learn what she could. She was there to be a spectator and introductions would be made more than likely by the priest if he felt them necessary.

Monday July 8th 8:07 pm - Archangel Tower - Jack Shannon

"Not allergic to pussies" said Jack followed by a sniff of the air, the back of his neck was starting to stand already.

Title: Re: Anita Blake RP Board
Post by: Maxx on

Monday July 8th 8:08 pm - Archangel Tower - Miss Aguilar

"It is a question I have to ask all visitors," Miss Aguilar said. "Mr Salvatore is an ailurophile, a cat fancier in common parlance. He usually has several in his office. It is best to ask ahead of time rather than risk anaphylactic shock. Please follow me."

Just behind her desk were a tall set of double doors. She knocked once, didn't wait for a response and opened only one of the doors. "Father Domenic Sozio and party for you 8:10 meeting, sir," she announced, then withdrew almost reluctantly. The slight change in her demeanor might have gone unnoticed by most people but it was almost obvious to the three cops. For whatever reason, the woman positively basked in the presence of the vampire inside the office.

"Please, come in." The voice carried no accent whatsoever. It could have come from anyone but in this case it came from the man who was only just rising out of his chair to greet them. If Miss Aguilar's suit was a week's pay, the one Nigel Salvatore wore was easily worth several times that. It was obviously custom tailored by a master of the craft. He extended a perfectly manicured hand and smiled without showing even a hint of fang. It was a trick some vampires never mastered. Whether the smile reached his eyes or not they couldn't tell. His eyes were hidden behind dark Serengetti sunglasses.

"Father Sozio. So nice to see you again." He took Domenic's hand in both of his and seemed to ignore the fact that the priest twitched slightly. "Please, sit down. Who, may I ask are your friends?" His tone seemed quite genuine. There was none of the smarmy insincerity that plagued some politicos.

He placed his hand within easy reach of all three police officers, waiting for them to take the initiative to determine who, after Domenic, would shake his hand first.

Monday July 8th 8:10 pm - Archangel Tower - Jack Shannon

"Jack Shannon, preternatural division of the SPD, it's nice to meet you" said Jack as he stepped forward and shook the man's well manicured hand. "If you don't mind me gushing I have to say you have a really nice setup here" laughed the detective as he did his best to stair at the collar of the vampire's exquisite suit, doing all he had not to look into the shades he wore.

Title: Re: Anita Blake RP Board
Post by: Maxx on

Monday July 8th 8:10 pm - Archangel Tower - Nigel Salvatore

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr Shannon," the vampire said. His hand was warm, although not so warm that you would doubt that he was undead. "I apologize for not using your police rank. I'm afraid I don't know it and I'd rather not use an incorrect form. Thank you for the compliment. Living well, as they say is the best revenge. I cannot, in all honesty claim credit for all you see here. There are many who have slaved to make this building a reality and they deserve your words of praise far more than I. I would offer you something to drink but this is an official visit, isn't it? Such a pity that professionalism requires that we not indulge ourselves in the small pleasures of life."

A slender orange tabby bumped Nigel's ankle with its head. It made a small noise, as if demanding attention.

Title: Re: Anita Blake RP Board
Post by: Lvciferi on

Monday July 8th 8:11 pm - Archangel Tower - Jack Shannon

"It's fine, it's detective by the way, but if you want you can just call me Mr Shannon, I'd say call me Jack I don't know if that would breach the official business line" smiled Jack as he noted the warmth in the vampires hand, not at all as cold as he thought about when Sozio had mentioned it. "You're a very modest man Mr Salvatore, you must forgive me if I'm using the wrong title for you as well"

Monday July 8th 8:10 pm - Archangel Tower-Maria Celes

"Officer Celes" Maria replied as if delivering her rank to a superior. She opted not to shake the vampires hand but was careful to make sure her tone was professional. "Also from the Preternatural division sir."

The concept of having to be in the room with a vampire was semi difficult. She couldn't bring herself to shake the mans hand. Vampires were soulless creatures from hell. They had condemned themselves all for the taste of immortality.

The Hispanic cop was a very devout Catholic and despite trying to be impartial she knew dealing with the vampires was going to be difficult.

Monday July 8th 8:14 pm - Archangel Tower - Nigel Salvatore

"Detective Shannon, then. Mister is the appropriate honourific for me. I am no Cesare Borgia to claim the title of prince. Although there are those of my kind pretentious enough to do so, I am not among them. Please take a seat. I won't be but a moment." He scooped up the cat with his left arm, allowing it to drape itself along his forearm. It must have been a battle to keep cat fur off the suit but in that at least Nigel was winning.

He made no attempt to shake Celes's hand, almost as if he had known she would not accept it. "Office Celes. Perhaps you would prefer a seat beside Father Sozio? I have no wish to make you more uncomfortable than you already are. Meeting a powerful vampire for the first time can be a little daunting. Perhaps you would hold Tasha for me? She can be tiresome at times but I dare not exile her. Her displeasure can last for weeks and she shows it in so many expensive ways."

"A kind offer Mr. Salvatore but I can assure you cats do not like me. I'm more of a dog fancier."

Post by: Maxx on

Monday July 8th 8:15 pm - Archangel Tower - Nigel Salvatore

"A pity. I find stroking her fur to be quite relaxing." Nigel turned slightly so that he was facing Suki squarely, as if giving her all of his attention. Perhaps he was. He extended his free hand slightly, waiting for her to introduce herself.

Title: Re: Anita Blake RP Board
Post by: LadyJallyn on

Monday July 8th 8:15 pm - Archangel Tower - Suki

Suki had remained silent throughout the exchanges. She was the youngest on the squad and saw no point to rush in and greet herself. She could feel the vampires eyes on her even though he wore his shades.

She keep her gaze on the cross bar that joined the expensive lenses as she reached out and shook the mans hand. "Its a pleasure to meet y-..."

Her grip tightened slightly and Suki suddenly felt disoriented. She wasn't standing in the office anymore. Instead she felt a sense of smugness as fangs pierced flesh and she felt her life's blood being drained.

There were so many sensations and thoughts that ran through her head. The main ones were that she was wanted. They needed her. Of course they had to come.

The death came and Suki felt like herself once more. The others that watched the exchange noticed that Suki had paled somewhat at the vampires handshake.

The oriental cop blinked as if she had had a spell or a petite mal seizure. She let go of the vampires hand and realized once more where she was. The images and thoughts she saw and felt were once again hers. She still felt dizzy the room spun but Suki didn't totter but her legs shook slightly. "I-..." Suki suddenly felt embarrassed and tried to think of something to say.

Title: Re: Anita Blake RP Board
Post by: Maxx on

Monday July 8th 8:16 pm - Archangel Tower - Nigel Salvatore

Nigel's head canted ever so slightly to the left. "Is there something wrong?" he asked, allowing the cat to slip to the floor. Tasha didn't seem particularly unimpressed. She had gotten her due attention and now considered it fitting that Nigel pay attention to his other guests.

Title: Re: Anita Blake RP Board
Post by: LadyJallyn on

Monday July 8th 8:16 pm - Archangel Tower - Suki

Suki shook her head no. "I'm alright." She said but didn't add the 'I am now'. She quickly over came her feelings of embarrassment and gave the man a polite bow. "It is an honor to make your acquaintance. I apologize for seeming so overwhelmed but as you said to Officer Celes, meeting such a powerful vampire for the first time can be a bit much."

Monday, July 8th 10:30 am- The Park- Lillia

Lillia squeezed Tony's hand, looking up at him through the dark sunglasses she wore. "You're doing just fine." she smiled, her Beast bumping along his skin, partially seeking to comfort him and partially for her own comfort as she sought to calm her nervousness. She would prefer for more skin to touch, but she had to keep herself as covered as possible to keep from getting a sunburn. Not long now., She thought to herself, apprehensive. Harry watched from where he stood, leaning against a tree trunk. He had driven from the hospital and parked as close as he could- parking in the city could be difficult at times. He was going to let her do this on her own, but he sure as hell was going to hang around to make sure everything was allright. After her experience with the previous king, he wasn't going to risk her getting hurt again.

Title: Re: Anita Blake RP Board
Post by: LadyJallyn on

Monday July 8th 8:16 -8:30 pm - Archangel Tower - Nigel, Suki and crew

"Am I the first vampire you have met?" Nigel asked, offering Suki a chair. If he was offended by the fact that she had not offered her name he gave no sign.

Suki merely nodded and sat down in the offered chair. Almost immediately she found her ankles subject to the affections of a male seal point Siamese cat. Suki tentatively reached down to stroke the cat out of habit.

Nigel noticed and smiled. "So we do have a cat lover with us. Ma Yuan is very selective. You must have done something in a previous life that impressed him."

"He probably smells Ming Shu." Suki replied. "Shes our family cat."

Nigel sat behind a heavy oak desk before he responded. "I was wondering if you were referring to a pet or the perfume. Thank you for clarifying."

"Its no problem." Suki replied as she stroked the cat and looked to Father Sozio to see if things were going to progress or just make with light conversation.

"As much as I would like to keep the conversation light, Father Sozio did not come here for a social visit. What can I do for you Father?"

Domenic cleared his throat. "I have been empowered to execute a warrant on one of the vampires in the city." He paused choosing his next words carefully. "I have come here to ask your assistance in locating this individual."

"I assume this is in connection with your previous request for assistance?"

Domenic nodded "The young woman in question filed a formal complaint. I received the warrant this morning."

"And you have no idea where to find your quarry. That would be a dilemma." Nigel pursed his lips. "I think perhaps I might be able to be of assistance." He reached one hand slowly forward and touched a button on his phone. "Miss Aguilar, please send Mr. Walker in."

"Of course sir." Came the immediate response.

"Mr. Walker is my protege." Nigel explained "He also had the additional benefit of being able to assist you during day light hours."

"I am grateful for the offer," Domenic said. "Thank you."

"You are most welcome Father Sozio." Nigel replied "I am pleased to be able to be of assistance. The Master of the city believes it is vital that you realize that all of the vampires in Seattle are fully in support of your authority and activities as vampire executioner for the state of Washington."

Celes remained silent but couldn't help but think that the vampire was full of shit. It was just a gut feeling. Get thee behind me Satan. Thats the only reason reason they're playing ball with us.

"I am pleased to hear that Mr.Salvatore. It makes my job easier. If no vampire ever broke the law I would be more than happy to never have to exercise the duties of my office." The priest replied.

A continuation of the carefully phrased conversation was interrupted by the arrival of Nigel's protege. He came in through a door that was concealed behind a panel in the wall. Six cats entered with him. A monstrous Maine Coon that looked like it had been in one fight too many made a b line for Celes. It jumped up into her lap and placed his scarred face inches from hers.

"How quaint." Muttered Celes softly, her dark eyes raised to look at Nigel. It was hard to give someone a dirty look when one wasn't allowed to make eye contact. "You told him to do that didn't you?" She asked sounding unimpressed.

"Have you ever tried to get a cat to do anything, Officer Celes?" Mr Walker asked. He lifted the cat out of her lap. The cat growled in protest but did not try to jump back up when he set it on the floor. "Give a dog a command, the dog obeys and you reward the dog. End of lesson. Give a cat a command, it gives you the finger. end of lesson."

Nigel's protege was dressed in a suit nearly identical to the vampires and he wore it almost as well. It was clear that the servant was being groomed in the master's image. Unlike Nigel, he did not wear sunglasses.

"Todd, I would like you to offer the good Father whatever assistance he requires," Nigel said. "He is executing a warrant."

"Of course sir," Todd Walker said but a slight look of alarm crossed his features before he managed to cover it. He had not yet developed the skill of presenting a featureless mask. "Father Sozio, would you follow me please?"

This has been a Ladyjallyn/Maxx co-post production

Monday July 8th 8:16 -8:32 pm - Archangel Tower - Jack Shannon

Jack watched all the happenings through seemingly indifferent eyes, his face a mask, eyes locked on Salvatore's collar and jaw set with lips relaxed, not angry looking, just blank. The only time the shell cracked was after Nigel Walker's joke, he greatly disliked Celes, she wasn't even religious she was fanatical, more like a Baptist snake handler than a Catholic. Without thinking he reached into his pocket again and started to rub softly on the onyx set crucifix. These guys arn't so bad, they look just like us they seem to think just like us, and they are helping without any problem, full fucking cooperation. If anything the mother fuckers are better. Jack pondered all these things in his head, until he was brought out of his thinking by the startled reaction Walker had from something. Jack eyed him with violet eyes, reaching down and petting a cat the rubbed up against his leg.

Monday July 8th 8:16 -8:30 pm - Archangel Tower - Todd Walker

Nigel's protege was the picture of urbane assistance. He led the small group out of the office through the door he had entered. It allowed them to see the view that Nigel had behind his desk. The office, although not a corner, had a spectacular view of the tree lined parkade that stood outside the Archangel building's main entrance.

The door opened into a corridor that ran for several yards along the wall of the office before ending in a door. Along the bottom of the other wall were a number of small opening. Their function was quickly demonstrated as several of the cats vanished through them only to be replaced by others. It seemed to be time for the cats to change shifts.

"If you will follow me in here, I'm sure I can find the information you need," Todd said. "We try to keep abreast of the activities of all the vampires in Seattle. Unfortunately the database may be a few days out of date. The transient population is minimal, since vampires travel according to the needs of their masters. Some few of them are still a little reticent about making certain we know where they are and what they are doing. There is still a great deal of paranoia among the population that spent most of their existence being considered less than people. Old habits die hard. May I see the warrant, Father Sozio?"

Monday July 8th 8:53 pm Inside an unknown building - Seattle - Tristan

He glanced down at the arm and started to bite at his lip. His blue eyes raised towards David's and he felt as if he were looking in a mirror. He was not sure if he wanted to feed from the youth. Was it worth watching the pain in his eyes; and if he did not do as David hopped then what? Tristan had not had to worry about such things for a long time and was starting to feel more and more Naive every moment that passed.

Tristan took a deep breath and gentle took the arm into his hand. He just wanted to say to the boy, 'I am sorry, I have spent quite some time alone and feeding off of small, four legged creatures while fighting off this strange, drowning sinsation that s0ome one was probably refurring to when she talked of needing a master to servive. I no longer know how things worked in places like this.' However he kept his thoughts to himself. "I...."

Elisabeta took the hunter's arm with a smile on her face and a laugh on her lips. "I never thought I could be so entertained in this God forsaken country," she said, referring to the way both transactions were handled. She casually steered him towards her hotel once again, briefly wondering if he had stopped playing his game or if she would have to work to get him into bed. Either way, the rest of the night was looking very interesting indeed.

Suki watched in silence as Father Sozio handed over the warrant for Todd to examine. Suki remained silent still mildly shaken from her encounter with the vampire.

Monday, July 8th 10:30 am - The Park - Mike & Don

"I don't see him," Mike said as he looked around the park near the bandshell.

"Neither do I," Don replied, trying to keep the sound of worry out of his voice but knowing that it was going to show up in his scent. "Maybe he's running a little late. Missed a bus or something."

"Or something," Mike echoed, both knowing and dreading all the possibilities those two words entailed.

"Is it just me or is something wrong?" Tony whispered to Lillia. He hadn't yet caught on fully to the idea that whispering around any lycanthrope was next to useless.

"Just a little mix up on the timing," Don said. "Did I tell him ten thirty or eleven thirty?"

"Ten thirty," Mike answered, not catching the drift of Mike's question. "We were going to hit the golden arches for breakfast and that ends at eleven."

The voice came not from behind Harry but from the side. "Good morning. Pleasant day for a walk in the park, don't you think?" The were dog turned to see a young man who was eyeing him with a more than normal intensity. It wasn't sexual in nature or even particularly threatening but it was definitely scrutiny. There was a scar running across one of the young man's eyes, large enough to have taken the eye out on its way through but the eye was intact. Only a shapeshifter could have taken a wound like that and not ended up half blind. He looked like a teenager.

Behind the young man, not close enough to be an immediate threat but still close enough to react if things got dangerous were two others. One was a small dark haired woman or perhaps she just looked small next to the enormous black man that stood beside her. They made no attempt to make it look like they were a couple out for a morning stroll. They were bodyguards and they made that very clear.

The young man smiled. It seemed real enough. He nodded towards the small knot of were rats standing by the bandshell. "I think the view might be a little better if you actually join us, rather than just watching from over here. Besides, they're starting to get a little nervous waiting for me." He held out his hand. "I'm Nick. I'm the one you've come here to meet."

"Fuck, just do it, man," the former street hustler said. "Get it over with. You're acting like a virgin. Do you want me to use the knife to get things started or are you going to roll me like I asked and just get things done?"

"Problems, David?" asked the butch vampire from outside the curtain.

"Not yet," the boy answered. "He's just taking his time getting started."

"The purpose is served and only those who know would realize what was happening," the hunter said. "How long do you intend to remain in Jakarta?" He met Elisabeta's eyes boldly, something few mortals would dare attempt. "Am I to be a brief encounter, a single night soon to be lost and forgotten amidst the endless nights that follow or will you be taking up residence here at least temporarily?"

"The only smell I wouldn't be able to tolerate would be the smell of another wolf on you," Ryan said, a curious lump in his throat at the thought of Shale with anyone else. "I'll tell you what. We can duck out around noon and I can put out a few calls in the meantime. Don't worry, we'll find something for you."

Monday July 8th 9:00 pm - Archangel Tower - Father Domenic Sozio

It took half an hour to locate the vampire in the database from the description the stigmatized vampire had provided and only a little longer for Todd Walker to provide Domenic with a profile of his kiss. During that time, the priest had managed to discover that Todd was not just Nigel's protege but also his pomme de sang. He was approaching forty and had served in that position for almost twenty years. Domenic made no comment about the fact that when the relationship had begun, Todd had been too young to legally enter into it.

"For those who are not aware of the fact, 'kiss' is the collective noun for vampires," Todd said. "I've always found it odd that mankind would chose such a romantic term and yet still consider vampires to be monsters. A statement on our fascination with the darkness, I suppose." He handed Domenic a print out, smiled at the assembled police officers and headed for the door. He paused before leaving the room. "If there is anything else you need, just pick up the phone and dial twelve. It's a direct line to my office. Call me when you wish to leave and I'll come guide you out. This place can be a bit of a maze if you don't know your way around."

Domenic nodded, thanked him and waited until the door closed. He let out a slow breath and turned to the others. "I've never done a raid on a vampire's lair during the night before," he said. "In fact, I've never done a raid at all. I could use a little advice from the experts."

"We need to see the layout of the place hes holed himself in." Celes said "If you don't have that information the address will do and tomorrow morning we go to city hall and get the buildings blue prints and learn what we can."

The woman frowned "That can be helpful but only if the tenants in question haven't done any renovating and conveniently forgot to let the city know about these modifications. I lost two people from my old squad due to that. You have any experience in this sort of thing Shannon?"

Monday July 8th 10:30 am - The Park- Harry

Harry made no effort to disguise his consideration of the were-rat troupe. Out of the two of the guards, the woman worried him more. You always have to worry about the small ones. They have a tendancy of making up for thier size with thier viciousness. He eyed each of them before turning his gaze on Nick. His dark eyes swept Nick's form, then flicked to where Lillia stood with the other rats. "Yeah, " he said with a barely perceptible nod, "Yeah I like that idea." It was obvious he was cautious by nature. Cautious and loyal.

She patted Tony's arm. "I'm sure its nothing." she told him. Her nose twitched and she turned. "So thats where Harold is." she said softly. "But who..."she turned to Mike and Don, who were trying to rationalize the absence of of thier king. "Mike, Don.. who is that?" She asked, gesturing to the vague figures crossing the grass. She couldn't see them well enough, but she smelled Harry, and.. were-rats.

Monday July 8th 9:01 pm - Archangel Tower - Jack Shannon

"SVU doesn't do raids, I was your typical detective we went in with a warrant and searched the place and questioned the suspect. I'd be about as useful on a raid as any other cop who has no specialty in it. Stings I know a bit more about, and fox holing people. You get them inside of the building, smoke them out and arrest them, they did it with Waco though I'm sure you know how well that went, same with the Operation MOVE dicks. But then again this is a holy state writ of execution or whatever so that might be just the tactic that would work. Depending on how many exits he has that is" Jack said as he reached inside of the inner pocket in his trench coat and pulled out a cigarette, shoving the unlit cancer stick between his lips and rubbing his temple as he thought about everything Todd Walker had said to them.

"I think the most extreme thing you could do what they did to the MOVE headquarters, which is I think drop napalm on the building, a contained fire would probably kill the vampire though I don't know how extreme a method you're looking for. I wouldn't suggest any of that though I'm just spouting out bullshit I've read. What you could do it put spot lights into his windows or something make him think it's daylight and make him too afraid to go outside if you really have to do a night raid"

Monday July 8th 9:03 pm - Archangel Tower - Celes

Celes listened to Shannon. As it was this wasn't free time. They were there as cops and she would treat him as such. She listened to the explanations and finally nodded.

"I think the best course of action would be a day raid. Less to worry about, at least in the vampire category. We just have to worry about fang junkies and uh... human servants and body guards and thats about it. The best course of action would be to have all the exits covered maybe a two man team per door or snipers if we can get them. It might be wise to have the sewer access covered as well in case our friends decide to leave some other way that the front or back door. Since the warrant is only for the vampire it could make things a bit tougher. Technically we could have a house full of everything from shifters to vampires and everything in between. We don't want to be pegged for using excessive force but we need to exercise extreme caution. I'd need to see the lay out of the place before I could offer anymore help, but if the place has more than three exits were going to need back up. I recommend calling in a favor Father Sozio if that is the case. Ask the chief for Decker's help. Hes head of the Swat division, just dont use my name and you should do fine."

Monday July 8th 10:33 am - The Park - Don

"That is Nick," Don said, starting to grin. "And Anne. She's sort of his queen and one of his bodyguards. The other guy is Logan. He's all bodyguard. I think he used to play pro football, or something like that, before he got bit."

"Dude, no way. He was an ultimate fighter. Shamrock kicked his ass four years ago."

"He doesn't fight like one," Don protested. "If anything he's pro wrestler."

"Like hell. Real wrestlers don't go in for that Grecian formula shit."

"Greco-roman, you knob."

"Dick."

"Jerkwad."

"Fag."

"Enough you two," Nick said as he wrapped his arms around their necks. "How the hell are ya?" His path had brought him past Tony and Lillia but he had made no attempt to touch them. Anne and Logan stayed a discrete distance away.

"We're good, Nick. You?"

"Can't complain. Nobody listens." The young rat king turned towards Lillia and Tony. "It's nice to meet you both," he said. "My name is Nick and if you are willing, I will be your king."

Monday July 8th- 10:34 am- The Park- Lillia and Harry

Harry moved instantly to a spot near Lillia and Tony. His face was blank, showing nothing of the thoughts that raced through his mind; thoughts nearly mirrored by Lillia, who was far less skilled at keeping her face blank. Could this really be thier king? The bodyguards made it look rather likely, and she could not smell a lie, but the sheer contrast between Nick and the King that Lillia had known was a shock. She recovered quick enough, however, and greeted him. She kept one gloved hand on Tony's arm, the other grasped her skirt as she curtsied ever so slightly.

"Pleased to meet you." she said politely. " My name is Lillia Sumner, and this is Tony." She looked up so that she could see Tony past the rim of her hat, even though her sunglasses hid her eyes.

Monday July 8th 9:00 pm - Archangel Tower - Father Domenic Sozio

Domenic sighed. "Mr Shannon, despite your personal opinion, vampires are considered people. You can't napalm a person's house just because you are too afraid to walk up to the door and try to serve a warrant the old fashioned way. I'm not even sure you could reasonably contain the fire even if it were permissible. What I need to do is get inside and if the vampire is unwilling to come peacefully, to do what I can to execute him on site."

Monday July 8th- 10:35 am- The Park - Nick

"Tony MaCarthy. I've heard about you. Saved a child and got infected doing it." Nick smiled. "'No good deed goes unpunished,' they say, right? Don't worry, Tony. We'll take care of you. Mike and Don can teach you all the good parts about being a wererat and Anne and Logan can make sure you know how to take care of yourself." He nodded towards Mike and Don. "I'd let these two losers handle that as well but they'd probably end up taking you over to the game preserve south of town and dropping you off there. It would be a bad idea. That preserve is exclusively for the wolves."

Mike opened his mouth but quickly shut it when Don elbowed him in the ribs. Although he was shorter than Mike, Don was much heavier built. The elbow had likely smarted.

"And Lillia. I'm afraid I don't know the proper response to a curtsy and if I'm supposed to curtsy in return, you're dreaming if you're expecting one. I somehow think you're not going to find a lot of things about me are as you expected. For the record, I am the rat king. I have beaten Anne, who was the old king's enforcer. It was my first act as rat prince. She fought me to test me, because the old king had told her to kill me. I beat her, then I beat him, the same day. He was the one who gave me this scar. Anne beat Logan, who had been sent by his king to test me. As was her duty, she fought in my stead, and won. Logan took me to his rodere where I beat his king and joined his rodere with my own. Logan now serves me as well. I prefer not to kill my enemies, Lillia. I would rather turn them into friends. I'm not an animal. I only kill when I have no choice."

She considered him from behind her dark glasses for a long moment before ducking her head and pulling them off. She wiped a gloved hand across her eyes, trying to hide the fact that she was crying by hiding under her hat. Her beast shuddered, not with anger or fear, but with relief. Behind her, Harry nodded to himself and turned to go. "you you all wanna catch breakfast, you'll want to get going now." he said, raising a hand in a goodbye gesture and glancing back just for a moment.

Monday July 8th 8:54 pm Inside an unknown building - Seattle - Tristan

His temper was getting the best of him and the embarassment of the fact that he had never heard the term 'roll me over' before had him feeling stupid. What was also stupid was the move he made and possibly the words that would follow. With no intention to do damage, aside from maybe mild bruising, Tristan brought his right hand up. His thumb would press against one side of the face and the fingers would press against the other side4 of David's face. If it were his intent to harm he would have gone for the neck.

In the instand that he lunged his hand forward, the vampire spoke. "Despite hpw old I may be I have spent some time feeding off of rats, dogs and felines. I have had little contact with human or vampire alike and have never taking the time to so much as talk to one. I am a little agnst and might as well be fucking considered me a virgin. The last thing I need is an adittude from you! By the way... You are not the only one in the world that has been through hell."

I have been sent to hunt down and return a renegade vampire to face Justice. I fear that within the next day or so I shall have to continue on to Seattle. That does not mean that we have to be separated however. You could always travel with me, provided of course, that both you and your employer would be willing for you to leave this hell hole."

He may already have pulled out. My current question is whether I should take you all in with me. What was that name you gave me again Celes?"

Monday July 8th 8:55 pm Inside an unknown building - Seattle - Adam

The curtain opened and a hand very gently took hold of Tristan's wrist. "Ease off, friend," Adam said. "We've all seen our fair share of Hell. More than our fair share, some of us. If you were so unsure, you should have spoken up. David was used by vampires who ran a little on the sadistic side. Now he only feeds those that roll him, the ones who use their power to make the bite feel good, or ones that use a knife. He wants you to look him in the eye, hypnotize him and then bite. Have you got it or do I need to get more specific?"

Adam didn't look angry. He looked wary, as if he expected Tristan to react badly to his touch. His grip wasn't strong. A human could likely have broken it. It wasn't restraint, so much as a warning.

For his part, David was just looking at Tristan, his fingers touching the knife on the table. He knew better than to try to attack a vampire. He wouldn't stand a chance. The expression in his eyes was unreadable, distant.

What am I supposed to do now? Sit here with my thumb up my ass? She walked into the room where her clothing was and looked in her bag. She grinned as she spotted a leopard print mini dress she had purchased just before coming to Seattle. Lastnight was a bust, but that doesn't mean I cant go out tonight...
It only took a few minutes for Cynara to get dried off and and dressed in the mini dress. She ran her fingers through her damp hair and went back to the bathroom to quickly apply her make-up. She blew a kiss at her reflection and went in search of Brandy. If anyone in this house knew where to have fun, it would probably be Brandy.

"I'm thinking I need a place that the vamps don't go to as much as that place we went lastnight..." She shuddered and absent mindedly ran her fingers up and down Leslie's leg.

She explained where they were in the city and how much the cover charges were. She beamed as Cynara had to pause to take in the information. "I hope that was helpful." Leslie replied.

Cynara's eyes ran over his body, and she slowly met his eyes. Her own eyes were dialted from the sudden arousal that had taken over her body. She swallowed once and licked her lips before she could speak. "I... I was going to go out, and... well I thought maybe you would want to come with me." She was shaocked at how nervous she was about asking him to come out. Back home, she could get any guy she wanted, but Michael, she just didn't know how to approach him. She couldn't read him like she could most men. Granted, she wasn't back home anymore, and Michael wasn't an average human man.

I have to work tomorrow and have to be up for 5am to help Kyle with breakfast. But thank you for the offer."

He paused as he caught the faint look of disappointment on the girls face. "I take it no one told you I don't do the bars and what not. If I'm not at work I'm here protecting our sanctuary. I take that duty seriously. Someone has to and with the lack of alpha's living in this house... The job falls to me."

"The offer is a compliment Cynara so I will say thank you. If one evening you opt to stay in rather than go out clubbing perhaps I can share the history of the pard with you. Its good to know whos who and whats what and why things are the way they are. I don't try to be a jerk its just that I don't go out anymore for a very specific reason. I was left in charge to watch over this pard my our old ra. She left as did a large number of Alpha's including my mate. None of them returned so out of respect for their memories I stay here where I am needed most. One day you might understand that. You're still new to all this but the bonds that tie a pard together are stronger than you can believe. Go on out and have fun but let someone know where you are going. Do you have a cell phone so you can call the house if you are having difficulty and has anyone told you that sex is out of the question until you get a handle on your beast?"

Back home, most of the fun had beenin hanging out with her friends at the club. If she couldn't find anyone to go with her, would it be as fun? But if she changed her plans now, it would be just more humiliating, and more proof that she was throwing herself at him. "Maybe tomorrow night? I just want to go out tonight because lastnight went so badly... and yes, Morvan made it very clear that I'm supposed to be a Nun from now untill he deems I am a big girl and can handlt carnal pleasures."

"Ok, thanks Michael. I'll see you tomorrow..." she hurried upstairs to look for Kyle. As she climbed the stairs she caught the smell of something being baked. She went into the kitchen and was glad to find Kyle, baking. "Hey Kyle. I was told that you would be heading into town soon. Could I get a ride?" she ran her hands over the fabric of her mini dress. She hadn't even touched Michael, but her whole body was tingling from just being near him.

Monday July 8th 9:14pm-10:10pm - Kyle's Ranch- Kyle

Kyle pulled out two trays of chocolate chip cookies out of the oven. "Yeah thats not a problem hun. Just finished making cookies for everyones lunches for work tomorrow. It looks like you're ready to head out right now just let me get my keys and shoes and we are good to go."

It took Kyle almost 40 minutes to drive into Seattle and drop Cynara off at Le Cirque. He had told her if anything felt out of sorts and she felt she couldn't handle being in public to immediately call. Other than that he gave her a quick hug and wished her a fun and safe night before heading out to pick up Justin.

Monday July 8th 9:55 pm - La Cirque - Cynara

Cynara stood on the street outside the club, watching Kyle drive away. She had tossed a light cover up around her shoulders but as she approached the door, she slipped it off, revealing the skimpy straps and tight leopard print mini dress. She smiled at the bouncer, showing him her ID and then paid the cover charge and dropped her cover up off at the coat check. Then she walked into the main part of the club and glanced around. She grinned as the music thrummed through the air. She could feel the vibrations more than she ever had before and knew that it was because of the Lycanthropy. Bonus. She headed over to the bar and ordered a drink, then leaned with her back to the bar to survey the crowd.

Monday July 8th 10:39 am -The park- Harry and Lillia

Harry broke out in a sudden grin. "you really are a good guy. I'm glad." he said, shaking his head. "But I gotta go give my mom a report before she sends the whole family out to look for me. I am still her little pup, after all." he says mirthfully.

Lillia wiped her eyes and looked back at him. "Thank you, Harold." she said softly. "you've been so patient with me."

"Hey," he turned and grabbed her hand. "This isn't a forever goodbye. I'll be around. My family runs the occult shop on east spruce st, Bones." He patted her hand, then leaned in to hug her. "Now go on." he said, patting her back and pulling away.

Lillia smiled at him and put her sunglasses back on, not caring that there were still tears swimming in her eyes. "I'll have to visit then." she said.

He nodded and turned to Nick. "Take care of her, ok?" he looked at the rest of them, including them on the charge. "she's one of a kind.." He held out his hand for Nick to shake.

Monday July 8th 10:40 am -The park - Nick

His handshake was firm but not crushing, a young man's handshake. "Take care of your family," Nick said, his voice suddenly husky. "Not all of us got lucky when it came to how the family reacted. Don't worry. We'll take good care of her and Tony."

"Okay, party time," Mike said. "I'm going to have a serious conversation with a couple of breakfast burritos."

"So says the man with the cast iron stomach," Don scoffed. "Sometimes what you eat frightens me."

"What, you think I should get a breakfast bagel?"

"No, Dude. Hotcakes and sausage."

"Don't you mean cardboard and sawdust?"

"Tool."

"Buttmunch."

Monday July 8th 9:05 - 9:30 pm - Archangel Tower - Father Domenic Sozio

The conversation started with Domenic trying to explain who he was and went downhill from there. To call Nathan Decker 'hardnosed' was like calling the ocean 'a little bit of water'. It didn't begin to describe the depths of the man's attitude. Finally, after repeating himself six times, Domenic managed to get his message across. He hung up with an exasperated sigh.

"He wants to meet with me at ten. We'll be go in by ten thirty. He wants me to have at least two cops with me as an escort and he's not even sure he's willing to let me in with that much personal backup. Celes, since you said you weren't permitted to work with him, I guess that leaves you out of the loop." He looked at Jack and Suki. "Want to get your feet wet on the first day?"

Monday July 8th 10:42 am- The Park- Lillia

Lillia shook her head, smiling to herself. "Talking about it isn't going to get it into your stomaches," she said pointedly, with what could have been a stern look if the sunglasses weren't in the way. "But breakfast does sound very good. I've had many samplings of hospital food in my life, and so far its always left me far from impressed."

She was relieved. It was a good sign that Harry liked Nick. Harry was always the wary one, but he had a good eye for personality. If he was comfortable leaving, then things were bound to go well. She would miss him, it was true, but like he said, it wasn't a forever goodbye. That made her feel better. Friends had always been in short supply, and moreso as of late. She smiled at her new companions. "Shall we?"

Monday July 8th 10:43 am- The Park - Mike

"Dibs on the freaky chick!" Mike said, leaping to offer an arm to Lillia. He met Tony's fist halfway there.

"Don't ever call her that," Tony growled, looming over Mike as he lay sprawled on the ground, stunned not so much by the punch but by the fact that it had happened.

Don stepped forward, positioning himself over Mike. He was shorter than Tony by a good six inches but his t-shirt was tight over a chest that had seen its fair share of weightlifting. "Back off Tony," Don said, trying to keep his Beast calm. "He'd wreck you. He's been a wererat for over a year now and you haven't made it to your first moon. He didn't mean anything by it anyway. In case you haven't noticed, he's an asshole. Speak first, think next week."

"Is there a problem?" Nick said softly.

Monday July 8th 9:30 pm - Leaving Archangel Tower - Father Domenic Sozio

Todd was as good as his word and led the group out of the office. Domenic waited until they were out of the building before he spoke. "I can outfit both of you with a holy water sprayer," Domenic said removing his jacket to reveal the devices strapped to his wrists. "There isn't a lot in these and the range is short. They're a last resort weapon but if a vampire gets a face full of this, it's like a face full of acid. You don't need to worry about disarming me either. I've got a weapon in my van that is a boy scout's wet dream. It's a holy water super soaker. Rest assured, I will be better armed than the SWAT team and you can be certain that the only ones in danger from me are the vampires."

"Not yet." Lillia said in reply to Nick. Then she pulled her sunglasses off for the second time that morning, turning her pink-red eyes to Tony. "I told you before, Tony. I do not need you to protect my honor. I appreciate the sentiment, but these are people you are going to be seeing a lot of- you need to learn to get along with them." she told him, shaking her head. "You aren't alone anymore." She continued softly, then her tone turned stern. "Now help him up and appologize, please."

Monday July 8th 8:55 pm Inside an unknown building - Tristan

Tristan's breath shuttered as it released. The slight grasp to his wrist caught his attention and, in a sense, caught him off guard. He just stood there; staring at David. Like David, his eyes seemed distant. For a long time, it seemed, he stood there. When he finally spoke it was nearly difficult for even a vampire to hear. "I understand.... I... I need to be alone for a bit." He turned his head so he was facing Adam but made no move to remove his wrist from Adam's hand.

It was like the older vampire was submissive. His sapphire optics trailed over the hand that held his wrist and the word that followed was, "Please..." He wondered if the so called master of the city was one of those sadists.

Monday July 8th 10:00 pm - La Cirque - Cynara

After she had finished her drink, Cynara decided to head out onto the dance floor. She grinned as she felt more than one set of eyes on her, and she purposefully made her hips sway a bit more suggestivly as she made her way to one of the crouded dance floors.
She started dancing by herself, but it wasn't more than a minute before a large man with spikey hair walked up to her. It was obvious that he thought he was hot shit, and his over confidence just made Cynara smirk. He layed his hands on her hips and she easily sidestepped out of his embrace. A small frown marred his face but her tried again, and again she side stepped his hands. "Come on babe, stop playing hard to get. You know you wanna dance with me." He grinned at her, and the look in his eyes showed that he wanted a lot more than to dance.
She stopped dancing and crossed her arms over her chest. "I dont play hard to get. I AM hard to get, and you dont meet my qualifications. So how about you just move along and find someone who will fall for your cockiness, cause it wont be me." She turned on her heel and walked to another part of the dance floor.

Monday July 8th 9:25pm- Kyle's Ranch-Katana

Katana had been eves dropping slightly on Kyle and Cynara's converstion over the T.V. Her mouth watered at the smell of the cookies as they baked. She knew that Kyle was leaving to pick up Justin soon so she knew if she was gonna sneak a cookie it would have to be done very quitely while he was gone. She waited paitently for the front door to shut before she slid off the couch. she slinked her way to the stairs to see if Micheal was stirring but only heard the faint hum of television talking. She continued to stalk her way to the chocolaty goodness and found herself smacked in the face of what she thought were forgotten memories.

---
"oooh can I lick the spoon Mommy?"an eager yound boy with a blonde bowl hair cut stood on a chair next to his mother.

"Of course you can dear?"the mother smiled happily as she passed the spoon to her son.When a small voice came from the corner.

"If I could please can I have the bowl Mommy?" the tiny girl stood in what best discribed as rags looking tired and warn out as she whiped her face with her over sized shirt sleeve. The faces of smiles turned with icey glares as the boy jumped off the chair and paced towards her. The girl landed to the floor with a loud thump and cracking of the skull.

"Don't you DARE call her mommy! She's my mommy. You don't belong here you'll never belong here you got that!" theblone boy turned viciously with glares and snickers.

"Oh give it a rest Katana. Go finish your chores. You do remember what happens if you dont finish them don't you."The woman called from over the fresh cookies.The girl nodded from the floor cowering in her large shirt fighting back the tears."Thats right you don't eat now get to it."

Tears weld in Katana's eyes as she stood in the door way starring at the freshly baked cookies sitting onthe counter. She shook her head tryign to cast out the images as she slid down the wall until she sat on the floor hugging her knees.

She smiled into the darkness. "My master will not object. He disapproves of many things, true, but he has never disapproved of my seeking the companionship of mortals. Unlike many masters, he has put me on a long chain of silk. One that I could break at any time if I should so choose." The lightness in her voice was evident. "He has offered me my freedom many times yet I remain with him of my own choosing." Falling silent, Elisabeta breathed deeply of the night air and the musky sent of the mortal man next to her.

Monday July 8th, 9:42 a.m. - - The Comic Shop - - Shale

Shale leaned into the kiss and pulled away reluctantly. She headed back up stairs, her thoughts distracted by her mate below. Digging into her bag of stuff, she found her wallet and pulled out a business card. Sitting on the bed with the phone, Shale dialed the operator and asked to place a collect call to Alaska.

{phone ringing} "Good morning. Law offices of Wilborn, Henderson, Mason and Geron. How may I direct your call?"

"This the operator in Seattle, Washington. I have a collect call for a Mr. Jerkins from a Shale Menderhar. Will you except the charges?"

"One moment please." {approx. 30 seconds pass} "This is Mr. Jerkins. Yes operator I will except the the charges."

"Go ahead please."

"Shale. It's good to hear from you girl. How are you doing?"

"I'm doing good Stan. I've ended up in Seattle and made contact with the local pack."

"I'm so glad to hear that. I was afraid you would have to be on your own for an extended time before you would find a new pack. So what do need? I doubt you called you me just to shoot the shit, not that I would mind."

Shale laughed. "You're right. This is not a social call. At least not completely. I need you to redirect my mail to the place I'm staying." She found a piece of Ryan's mail laying around and read off the address. "I also need you to get a bank account opened for me down here. I'd like you to transfer at least $100,000 into it. I would also like you to have a bank draft for $500,000 made out to The Seattle Wolf Pack."

Stan whistled into the phone. "I can understand the $100,000 into an account for you. But $500,000 is a lot money. Are you sure about this?"

"I know, I know. But I can't meet the pack during the next full moon and not have a gift for them. Besides, its only money."

"OK. I'll have the mail redirected within the next day or two. I'll overnight what I have for you here at the office. The bank account may take a little longer. I'll have to find a suitable bank for you and then do all the paperwork. Give me a week or two and I should have it done. Why don't you give me a call sometime next week and I'll let you know what is going on. As soon as everything is set, I'll overnight everything to you."

"Thanks Stan."

"So. Now that work is out of the way, why don't you tell me whats been going on with you."

"I work my down here on a freighter. Luckily it arrived just before the full moon. Could you imagine me on a ship in the middle of the Pacific Ocean during the full moon? Anyway, after the full moon I met two wererats that helped put me in touch with the local pack. I went to meeting with the local rats, cats and wolves. Got arrested. Oh yeah, I even found a mate." Shale stated the last almost as if it was an afterthought.

The last statement was not lost on Stan. "You found a mate?" he stated almost as if he couldn't believe it. "That's great girl, really great. Just make sure he treats you right or I'll come down there and have some words with him."

"Don't worry. He's the greatest guy you could ever dream of. Too bad he's straight. If you met him you would want him for yourself."

"You're lucky girl. I'll have everything we discussed ready as soon as I can. Now why don't you let me go so I can try to get you straightened out."

Shale laughed. "Allright you jerk. I'll let you go so you can get back to work, or back to you nap which is more likely. I'll call you next week and see how things are going. Take care Stan. And thanks for everything you've done for me."

"I like you kid. Really. I'm surprised my brother never took you as his mate before his pack was destroyed. You'll always be family to me Shale. If you need anything call. Anytime, anyday. I'll always do whatever I can for you. You know that."

"I know Stan. I still appreciate it." There was a small lump in her throat as memories of her former pack flooded her mind. "I'll talk with you next week. Goodbye Stan and take care."

"Goodbye Shale. We'll take next week."

Shale hung up and tried to sniff back the tears that were threatening to flood her eyes.

There was not much to say. In fact, all he did was raise his right brow as he glanced over at David. "Er...um... Th-thanks.." What else could he say, really? Still, his voice remained softer and he took a moment to free the, ever so long, locks of his free from their tight bind. Beleive it or not, it freed up a bit of the tension that could be felt in his body. A query, about the master of the city, came to his mind but he waited until he could talk, one on one, with one tf the vampire there.

Monday July 8th 10:00 pm - A vampire's Haven - Father Domenic Sozio

The meeting with the SWAT team was not a total disaster, the way domenic had expected it to be. It had started reasonably enough but Decker's assumption that Domenic had experience with this type of mission was the first stumbling block. He was surprised that the vampire executioner was not also a vampire hunter.

"First time for everything," Domenic said.

"This is not what I'd have picked for your first time," Decker said. "In all fairness, I'd suggest you stay outside. I'd need to assign someone to take care of you and that weakens my team."

"I've already got two officers covering me," Domenic replied. "Shannon and Neubosato."

"Neither of whom have SWAT experience. I'm sorry father. As it is, your team a liability."

"My team is also equipped with weapons that will injure the vampires but do nothing to your men or any other humans present. Just remember this vampire is almost as powerful as the Master of the City. Don't meet his gaze. He could likely rip through your team solo but he's going to be more interested in his own survival than wracking up a body count."

"Are you sure about that?"

"About his power? Yes. His preference for escape? No."

Decker shook his head. "And we're going in during the night why?"

"Because if we don't he'll likely disappear."

"Christ."

"Pretty much."

Decker shook his head again, clearly not liking the situation. "Then you'll be coming in with me. You do exactly what I say without question. Shannon, Neubosato, I'm going to ask you to hang back. Watch the exits from the outside."

"Fair enough," Domenic said, unhappy that he was losing two bodyguards but grateful that the SWAT commander was taking him under his personal care. "You've seen the photo of the vampire I'm looking for?"

Decker nodded. "My men all have. Do you have any last minute tips?"

"Shoot to maim. You likely won't kill them, so try to incapacitate. If any of your men are wearing crosses, do it openly. They can act as much as a warning of a nearby vampire as the can a defense against them. There are likely going to be more than just the one vampire present and if they do not surrender the one I am after, they place themselves under the jurisdiction of the warrant. Give them a chance to surrender but if they don't...."

"Got it. We go in fifteen minutes."

Monday July 8th 10:46 am - The Park - Tony

It was an obvious struggle. Tony was dealing with emotions and desires on a far more powerful scale than he ever had before. As Don had indicated, he had the desire to fight but not the capacity, at least not on the scale that would be needed. Whether he had the ability to accept that was another story.

Mike, for once, kept his mouth shut and made no attempt to rise. Don moved back but not so far that he couldn't get into Tony's face if he needed to. Logan and Ann were wary but had made no move to intervene. After all, it was the early stages of a dominance fight and they had no place in it.

Nick was looking at Tony, his expression unconcerned. "Tony, if you're going to be one of my rats, you are going to need to learn to control yourself. You can't just lash out at anyone, just because you don't like something they said."

"I'd have hit him even if we were both human."

"You'd like to think that , Tony, but it isn't true. You hit him because he insulted Lillia. You're acting on your attraction to her and your desire to protect her." Nick smiled. "It does you credit to be willing to step up to bat so quickly after meeting her but I think it will take more than brute force to win her over. Remember, Tony, you're not an animal. You're a person. so is Lillia. so is Mike, although sometimes even I wonder and I've known him for years. So why don't you give him a hand up and we'll call this a mistake based on growing pains."

Tony looked at Nick, his eyes narrowing. He must have realized that Nick was not trying to mock him, because he eventually relaxed and nodded. He extended his hand to Mike. "Sorry for losing it on you."

"Hey Dude, you didn't lose it. You just belted me. Ask Don how many times he's wanted to do that." Mike took Tony's hand and allowed himself to be pulled upright. "Thanks."

"What about you, Lillia?" Nick asked. "Are you my rat too?"

Lillia considered Nick for a long moment, her mind registering the most recent of events. In truth, she was surprised. The kings she knew before would have likely beat Tony within an inch of his life to remind him of his place. This was just another confirmation that Nick was not like the old king, and it gave her a pleasant feeling- hope. Hope and gratitude.

Her pale lips turned in a smile that crinkled the corners of her red-pink eyes. "I think I should like that very much." she said, nearly instantly from serious to bright.

"it is good to have so kind a master in these troubled times," the hunter said. "Sadly, mine is not so gentle. It is rare that one can will a respite from one's own conscience. Mine goads me onward but I can still find time to enjoy the simple pleasures of life." He gestured out at the night. "Even in a place like this, beauty can be found almost beyond measure."

He slipped a small plastic packet from inside his jacket and showed it to her. Even in the dim light Elisabeta could make out the four small stones inside, each barely a quarter inch across and all uniformly of a colour she had heard referred to as 'pigeon blood'. They were rubies and together worth a small fortune.

Several things sprung to mind, among them her ability to heal, but she held her tongue, choosing instead to tilt her head and smile softly, sliding her sunglasses back onto her nose. "I think that may be a discussion best had in private. Maybe after breakfast, although we're more likely to have to catch an early lunch by the time we get there." She said.

Monday July 8th 10:00 pm - La Cirque - David

He moved through the crowd as if he belonged there but his clothing made him stand out. He was wearing stained jeans and a black t-shirt that had a demon jester face on the front and 'ELF: THE OTHER WHITE MEAT' on the back. Even the t-shirt seemed slightly grubby, despite the fact that it was clearly clean and he smelled as if he was fresh from the shower. He looked newly shaved but wore no aftershave or cologne. He got more than one appraising look as he passed but he responded to none of them. He was on a mission.

He reached the bar not far from Cynara and she caught the musky scent of werewolf. All the signs were there if you knew how to look for them but less than a quarter of the patrons would have been able to guess. He was no where near as good at hiding it as Kyle was but he was good enough for most purposes.

He gave Cynara an appraising look, then nodded once, acknowledging her presence, her lycanthropy and her right to be there all at the same time. This close, he looked to be just over six feet and he carried himself in a way that let her know that he was not only an Alpha, he was a powerful Alpha. He called the bartender over with a hand that still had a touch of dirt under the fingernails. "I'm looking for Jeremy," he said. "He works here as one of your bouncers."

I can imagine what our two new members are feeling after having to deal with hospital food, even of as short a time as they did."

There was something in the way he said it that seemed to suggest he knew Tony had healed far faster than he should have. He looked at Lillia for a moment, then turned away. "It will take a while getting used to those sunglasses. I've always been an eye contact person."

Monday July 8th 10:51 am - The Park - LIllia

She was glad at that moment for the sunglasses being there, as his comment made her slightly uncomfortable. He knows? No, that doesn't make sense, does it? But he suspects. Her Beast betrayed her, but only slightly, and she turned in the direction he had indicated. "I appologize for the need, but I am extremely sensitive to bright lights. Even though I heal from the damage it does, I try to avoid it as much as possible. It hurts." She explained as they walked. "A lot actually." she murmered, almost as an afterthought.

"We all try to avoid pain," Nick said, nodding. "It's in our nature. Knowing we will heal doesn't make the pain less intense or less painful.

Samuel eyed the gruff man commanding his attention at the bar with eyes of liquid moonlight, he could sense an air of disquieting authority to him. Although the stranger looked decidedly out of place, his confidence and presence radiated in waves that were both intoxicating and distilled a deep routed fear that Samuel hadn't experienced in a long time. He tucked the curtain of dove white hair draped across his right eye behind his ear and leaned towards the stranger, keeping his eyes downcast.

"Of course, sir. He's our head of security." His eyes flitted upwards, avoiding the direct gaze of the stranger and extended a long, tapered, silver tipped finger towards the dancefloor, "You see the tall, dark and burly, dancing with the tiny blonde? That's our resident keeper of the peace.", he titled his head towards the pair, a slight smile passing across his lips as he watched Sailor suggestively wrap herself around the wolf.

Monday July 8th 10:03 pm - A vampire's Haven - Jack Shannon

"You don't need to call me sir, not even good enough to take down a vampire" chuckled the aged detective as he took a puff on a cigarette that hung between his lips, his bright eyes locked on the team. "I hope they don't get torn to shit in there, should of filled the place with garlic gas or something"

Lillia stopped in her tracks and looked at Nick, her expression unreadable behind her sunglasses. Even her Beast seemed to stop to consider him. What exactly was it that he meant by such a comment? The idea was not so far fetched, but the way he said it- it was like he was testing the waters; trying to catch a reaction. "What do you mean?" she asked cautiously, beginning to walk again, because it was true that she was rather hungry, and breakfast sounded great.

She smelled dead. David could tell from yards away. Jeremy was dancing with a vampire.

"I'm not sure what the expression is, because I'm not trying to cut in," David said softly. The werewolf and the vampire would hear it but few others in the club would. "Let her go, Jeremy."

Monday July 8th 10:05 pm - A vampire's Haven - Suki

"Garlic wouldn't work thats all Hollywood drama." Suki said as she tucked the holy water gun close to her side. The sad thing was Father Domenic was right. They were the best equipped. "I really hope this goes well. If one barges through the door we cant just hose them unless they've been asked to surrender. The problem with that though Mr. Shannon is some of them would be on you and sucking you dead before you could finish your warning."

Suki paused and watched as the men looked as if they were on their way to getting to operation underway. "I know we didn't cover it in class today but tomorrow I think you guys should get a good look at what they can do when they're up close and personal. The could bite clear through your collar bone like you could through a 3 day stale pretzel."

Monday July 8th 10:30 pm - A vampire's Haven - Father Domenic Sozio

"Thanks for the warning." Decker had a hand on Domenic's shoulder. The executioner was being accorded considerable more respect than he knew he was due. The SWAT team expected him to be at least as competent as they were, especially when he produced fifteen thousand dollars worth of squirt gun to go in with them.

"So, what, you hose the room and we cap anything that sizzles?"

Decker looked at Domenic, giving him an unspoken 'don't fuck with the plan'. "I'm afraid not," Domenic answered. "Your commander has full control over this mission. I'm here in an advisory capacity only and officers Shannon and Neubosato are here as observers."

"So by the numbers, chief?"

Decker nodded. "By the numbers. We go in five.... four.... three.... two.... one.... NOW!"

It was amazing to watch the SWAT team work, amazing and terrifying. They had the door open and the ground floor of the house secured inside of ten seconds. The upper floor took another fifteen, the basement twenty. The entire house was swept in less than a minute.

The score?

Nothing.

The building was empty, as if whoever was living there had just picked up and moved on. There weren't even hangers in the closet.

"We missed him," Domenic said, a sinking feeling in his stomach.

"Looks like," Decker said, not looking impressed.

"There is little doubt as to the previous state of your life. Most of our kind find transition very difficult to say the least. There is an unfortunate excess of predjudice. I was actually refering to your comment concerning empathy. Did you in fact mean that you can truly feel the pain of others, or were you alluding to a more mundane ability to see into the personality of a person?" She asked, looking ahead, her gloved hands clasped before her in a lady-like way.

Monday July 8th 10:02 pm - La Cirque - Sailor & Jeremy

Sailor sensed him a good twenty seconds before he uttered a single word in their direction. His beast swaggered and stalked the dancefoor at least twenty paces ahead of him and his strong musky scent danced provocatively in her dainty nostrils, alerting her to his elevated status and dominance. Add to the fact that Jeremy became rigid. . .and not in the way that she had been hoping for.

   When he spoke in hushed tones, she cautiously turned placing herself between Jeremy and the other wolf, slightly bowing her head in respect. "Sir, I. . . ."

   "Sailor, no." Sailor could feel Jeremy surging with a bizarre combination of defensiveness and fear, "Its not your place."

   She craned her neck up to look him pleadingly in the eyes, he rested his great hands on her shoulders and moved her to his side, taking her from between himself and the Freki. He shot her a warning glance, his beast saying more to her than any words could. She bowed her head further, resting her chin on her chest and began to nervously wring her hands. She felt like a child standing outside of the principle's office awaiting her punishment.

   "David, it's a pleasure, as always, but maybe we should take this off of the dance floor?" He motioned towards the clutch of dimly lit velveteen booths off to the right of the dance floor with a slight nod of his head.

"I don't know about you but I can't bite through a three day old pretzel" mumbled Jack as he watched the swat team move in, going through the door and filling the building like ants into a bug trap. "Should of just drowned the building in holy water, get a priest and a rabbi on a fire truck and shot through the windows. Plus would give me some new ideas for jokes". Jack ignored what she said about seeing what they can do, he doubted he'd be impressed, a guy with a crow bar, box cutter, or even a cinder block could do just as nasty shit he reckoned.

Suddenly everything made sense. It wasn't to say that she was not surprised- she was. It showed on her face and in her Beast, as they both drew themselves up as they looked at Nick. Then the surprise melted and she smiled, not a true smile, but something almost whistful. "If I truly have no secrets, then you already know what I am capable of. Could you truly let me leave now, if it were my wish, considering this? Would you?" she asked, her demeanor serious as she peered over the lenses of her sunglasses at him.

Monday July 8th 10:02 pm - La Cirque - David

"The less public this is the better," David said, turning towards the booth. He took a seat, playing absently with the velveteen while he waited for Jeremy to sit. "Jeremy, do you want Lobo to make an example of you? Because he will. He'll drag you into the middle of the pack, make sure everybody gets a good sniff and then wreck you. You know his rules. You either obey or pay the price."

Post by: Maxx on

Monday July 8th 10:55 am - McDonalds- Nick

His smile was also wistful. "If you want to go, now is the time. I won't stop you but I can assure you, you will get better treatment from me and mine than you will from anyone else. I will never hold some one you care about hostage, to make sure you obey and use you ability as and when I say. I will never let anyone abuse you because your condition makes you weak and I will never take advantage of my position to force myself on you. Our old King would have done all of those and more. The king is dead, long live the king."

"Long live the king," echoed Mike. "Can I have two breakfast burritos? And add hotcake syrup."

The girl behind the counter looked slightly ill. "You want hotcake syrup on your burrito?"

"Only if you can't put mayonnaise on it."

"The rest of us are going to order normal things," Don said. "Like two orders of hotcakes and sausage."

"Tool."

"Buttmunch."

"Loser."

She knew very well what the old king would have done- and had done- to her. She said nothing of this, however, choosing instead to focus on more positive things. She nodded curtly, breaking into a grin. " I believe you. Simply that you would let me make my descision and walk away, despite what you know- That means a lot. Thank you." She held out her hand for him to shake. "I think I'll be staying."

Nick smiled. "I'm glad. You have wisdom and a very special gift. We need you more than you can possibly know. Something is happening in this city. Something is preying on us and it isn't being nice. Three rats have turned up dead, two of them killed and dumped in the bay, one of them skinned alive. A lot of people are scared. So far, all they had in common were the fact that they were wererats."

"W-What?" Lillia's voice cracked in a shocked whisper. "Something is killing wererats?" She shuddered. "Dear God."

Her gaze travelled to Tony and the other rats before settling back on Nick. "I'll help in any way I can, of course."

The girl behind the counter cleared her throat, clearly uncomfortable. "Did you want to order?" she asked.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I wasn't paying attention." Lillia appologized. "I'll have a chicken buscuit conbo with and orange juice and an extra chicken buscuit please." She smiled at the girl. She was sio used to being stared at that it hardly ever caught her notice any more.

Monday July 8th 10:02 pm - La Cirque - Sailor & Jeremy

Jeremy slid into he booth, sitting opposite David, balling his hands into fists and clenching his large jaw as the Freki spoke. He knew that this time would eventually come and that anything beyond a professional working relationship with Sailor would never be acceptable. He worked the large, roped muscles in his jaw, clenching and unclenching, he carefully chose his words.

"I understand and accept this, David. I just want to thank you for coming all this way to warn me", he held David's eye contact long enough for him to know he was sincere, but short enough to not challenge his dominance, " The pack has to understand that although I will comply with the rules from this moment forth on regards to my, uh, fraternisation, with Ms Morgan. This is my job and I do have to have some sort of working relationship with her."

Sailor stood next to the booth, her eyes widening as Jeremy spoke as if she weren't even there, "Wait just a second here, " she shot David a brief and wounded look, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to speak out of turn or disrespectfully, its just. . . .let me get this straight, the pack disallows, as you so tentatively put it, Jeremy, fraternising with vampires? Why? I mean. . ."

"Sailor, leave it."

"No, Jeremy, I won't. Don't we face enough prejudice from the non-preternatural residents of this planet as it is without squabbling amongst ourselves? I understand that humans may have a problem with us if they had never encountered our kind before and believed everything the media fed them, but lets be honest here just for one second," she quickly flitted her glistening copper eyes between the two seated wolves, "We know the real world that sits outside of our doors, we know who the real monsters are and most of them don't have fangs or run on all fours when the moon is full."

"Sailor, just don't, okay? You knew exactly what we were getting into before we even thought about falling into bed together. We had conversations about it, on numerous occasions. Why do you think we never got together officially?"

Sailor bit her lip and held her tongue. She knew he was right, she knew the whole time that Jeremy and she had been having their little stolen moments, that this day would come. She knew that as perfect as Jeremy appeared to her, she could never really have him.

"I know, Jeremy, but that doesn't make it any easier." she turned to face David entirely, "I'm sorry, again, if you think I have spoken out of term here, sir. I love Jeremy, he's a good man and there aren't very many of those left, so. . .this is why I am now going to walk away and let him not have to make this decision or ‘be made an example of'. I understand that the pack is family and you never turn your back on family"

Jeremy grabbed her wrist as she turned to leave, "Sail, babydoll," his clear, green eyes wracked with guilt and a certain sadness she had never seen before. " I'm sorry, babe."

Jeremy held on to her slight wist firmly, reluctant to let her walk away just yet. He turned his attention back to David, "I know this is a futile question, but . . . .fuck, man. She's not exactly your common or garden variety blood sucker, David. There really is no choice, is there?"

Monday July 8th 11:00 am - McDonalds - Nick

Nick paid the bill for the entire group before answering Lillia's question. "Four dead in the last week," he said. "One shot by the police, two found floating and another one that had been skinned. The skinned one was likely killed by somebody who wants all the benefits of the change but none of the bad parts. All you need to do is murder somebody by skinning them alive and then find an equally amoral bastard to enchant the hide."

Monday July 8th 10:03 pm - La Cirque - David Banner - the Freki

"We're not asking you to quit your job, Jeremy," David said. "We're telling you that your choice is her or us. Lobo has made his stand quite clear. No wolf will have anything to do with any vampire. No donations, period. End of statement. No sex, period. End of statement. You can work with them and to a very limited extent, work for them. Individually, that is. There is no way in Hell that Lobo would willingly allow one of his pack to work for Archangel."

David's eyes found Sailor. "As much as you want to convince yourself that we need to unite against our common enemies, you will never convince us that the vampires are not our enemy. There is a active movement to try and bring a master vampire to this city that can control wolves. If that isn't an attempt to subvert the werewolves, I don't know what is. That isn't exactly the behaviour of somebody who wants to be my friend. I'm sorry that you feel I'm being unreasonable and unfair but Jeremy knew the situation when he joined the pack. He's been breaking pack law and if Lobo finds out, he'd be in a lot of trouble."

Post by: Tinker on

Monday July 8th 10:03 pm - La Cirque - Sailor & Jeremy

Jeremy still held firm to Sailor's wrist as he dragged one hand through his perfectly sculpted, black hair, "David, Sail. . "

Sailor brought one slender finger up to the wolf's mouth, hushing him instantly, she turned her full attention to him, "No baby, you don't have to say anything. This is your family and family is the single thing in this life that we need to honour, cherish and obey," the hot sting of fresh tears prickled behind her eyes, she swallowed noisily, determined not to let one single tear free, " I do love you, Jeremy and there is nothing that I could wish for more than for things to have been different. We were damned lucky that we had this long together, fooling ourselves. You heard what the man said," she offered David a half smile, dripping with sorrow, "We can still be work buddies, we just have to keep it professional from this point forward."

She laid a cool, porcelain white hand on the large dusky hand on her wrist, gently prying his fingers to release her. She diverted her gaze back to the Freki, "David, when I say that I appreciate you coming here, tonight, I truly mean it. I know that you didn't have to give any warning, but you did and I am grateful that you showed such compassion for a pack member that had so heinously broken wolf law. I hope you remember this conversation and maybe realise that not all vampires are part of the plot to beat the rest of the nocturnal world into submission. . . .there are actually some of us who would feel it a great honour to fight by your sides to bring a certain equality to the battle field," she lowered her eyes and hushed her tones to a barely audible range, "and if you ever do change your mind and find that having a vampire on your side would be an asset, be it in combat or subterfuge. . . .I know of a girl that is both willing and able."

She rested her free hand on Jeremy's heavily stubbled face and delicately kissed the tip of his nose, "You're a good man Jeremy, stay out of trouble"

She turned to face the Freki for a final time, offering her hand, "I wish we could have met under more social circumstances, David. Please keep my offer in mind and. . . ." her gaze flitted back to Jeremy, "Please make sure he keeps his nose clean, if anything happens to him, I will be the first to hunt down the perpetrator and rip out their throats, " she smirked without the faintest trace of malice, "I'm sure I can count on you for any back-up should anything like that were to happen?"

Monday July 8th 10:03 pm - La Cirque - David Banner - the Freki.

"We take care of our own," David said, giving Sailor a quick handshake. He seemed reluctant to touch her for any length of time. "If anything happens to him, the pack will see justice done. As far as anything else goes, that isn't my call. Lobo calls the shots and he says no vampires. Most of the pack agrees wholeheartedly." His eyes moved to Jeremy. "There are those who don't agree of course but if they're smart they keep that to themselves."

Title: Re: Anita Blake RP Board
Post by: Tinker on

Monday July 8th 10:04 pm - La Cirque - Sailor

Sailor noted the momentary recoil as David shook her hand and respected his distaste by making the handshake as brief as possible. She nodded curtly at the Freki, "When you leave please make sure you stop back at the cash desk. Jeremy, tell whoever's on to reimburse David his cover charge," she redirected her eyes to David, "I hope you take some time to enjoy what we have to offer here at La Cirque, I'll inform the staff that everything is on the house for you tonight. Again, thank you, David"

She glanced at Jeremy, her tears subsiding. She smiled gently at him then turned on her heel to keep good on her promise.

She stalked through the dancefloor, the patrons separating for her as the red sea once did for Moses. As she stood at the bar she smoothed the midnight blue, silk dress down her curvaceous form, she signalled one of the glittering, pale-skinned twins, it was Jenna that noticed her first.

The willowy woman smiled broadly at her "Sailor, what can I do for you?"

Sailor reached a hand out and pulled the young woman's face to her's, brushing lips every so briefly, "Ah, sweet Jenna. It's a blessed relief to see your gorgeous face. I need something unbearably sweet and intoxicating, a drink would be good too."

Jenna's tinkling laughter cut through the harshly beating music like a sabre, "You got it sweetie, how does a Screaming Orgasm grab you?"

Sailor grinned and nodded, "Sound glorious, but that would have me doubled over for days. . . and not in a sexy way either. Just throw me a shot of O positve, straight up ,no ice, thanks Jenna.", she grinned at the barmaid, winking at her as she made the awful joke, " Oh! Before I forget, can you radio through the rest of the club that we have a guest of honour here? The crumpled looking guy sitting with Jeremy over there, is. . uh, lets just say family. So make sure anything he orders is on the house, okay?"

"Got it, Sail. One Screaming Orgasm a la vamp for the pretty lady and a free night courtesy of the wondrous staff of La Cirque for the mystery man."

"Thanks honey", Sailor giggled at Jenna's response to her poor attempt at humour as she scanned along the length of the bar searching for a willing playmate or at least someone to spark up an interesting conversation with. The glistening twin pressed the warm glass into Sailor's hand, placing the lightest of kisses on a blushed cheekbone, "There you are Miss Blossom, fresh from the source."

Jenna waved a wrist beneath her nose, the self inflicted puncture wound still slightly oozing the sanguine liquid. "Oh honey, you shouldn't have. . .what ever was in the fridge would have done." Sailor looked at the glorious, shimmering creature before her that had willingly split her blood just to bring a much needed smile to her full glossy lips.

"Its my pleasure, anything to lift that gloom surrounding you, " She planted a final kiss on the top of Sailor's glimmering golden crown, before gliding to the waiting customers, she peeked over her shoulder, winking, she said, "Now go and find someone to dance away those blues."

An electrical shock went through Elisabeta's body as the hunter kissed her hand. It was a feeling that she had not felt in many years. Her body continued to tingle for several minutes afterward. "I can honestly say that I would not care for you to be a slave. And that is not what I meant by extending an invitation to come work for my master. You would be more like an independent contractor. Hired and payed as needed and left to your own pleasures when not. My master and I both have several mortals employed in such a way," her voice was a little husky from the feelings that were mingled in her mind. "Think about it. You need not decide right away. The offer is there, it will not be revoked. But for now why don't we just enjoy the night and whatever it may bring." They had reached the street where her hotel resided. The building was a modern multistory monstrosity of glass and steel that sat halfway down the block, overshadowing the older two and three story buildings housing small stores and apartments. "Will you be joining me? Or shall I find another to satisfy me tonight?" Elisabeta asked as she motioned toward the hotel. She knew that she could make his mind up for him if she so choose, but she prefered her lovers to come to her bed of their own free will and not because she forced them.

"Who says they're going for exotic?" asked Nick. "From all accounts, the one who got skinned had a beautiful coat. And how many people are there that are willing to take on a wolf to get their coat? There are hundred of wolves and they stick together. The rats are divided, Lillia. We're the easier prey. Even the cats are safer. They stick together and if one of them goes missing, they all turn out to look, especially with the new Raj they've got." Nick smiled. "He's quite a fireball."

Monday July 8th 10:30 pm - La Cirque - Sailor

Sailor necked the warm shot of blood in a single swig. The viscous fluid slid seductively down her throat, she ran her tongue between her lips and teeth, savoring every ounce of the sweet, bloody nectar. She felt electrified as Jenna's blood quickly worked through her system, a sly smirk spearding across her face as she readjusted her attitude.

"Yes, it absolutely sucks like a starving baby that my favourite toy was stolen by the school bully tonight, but I'm Miss Cherry-Fucking-Blossom and this is MY playground", she thought to herself, the blood bringing a flood of colour to her cheeks and reinstating her vampiric sense of self-inflated superiority.

She slammed the empty glass on the ornate bar, throwing Jenna an appreciative and lascivious wink as she strutted towards the DJ booth. She signalled the DJ's attention with a flick of her extended finger and screamed her demands over the pulsating music. He nodded and mouthed "Up next" to her, only half concealing a leer at her exposed chest. She smiled widely at him, giving him the slightest suggestion of fang, serving both as warning and a flirtation.

The previous song melded seamlessly into Sailors request as she strolled back towards the dance floor. Her hips dangerously swaying as she pounded to the centre of the gaudily lit theatre in the round that was La Cirque's main dancefloor. She whipped the chopsticks confining her hair in a tight bun out in a dramatic flourish, her hair tumbled down in a golden cascade.

"You're keeping in step in the line. Got your chin held high and you feel just fine, because you do what you're told. But inside your heart it is black and it's hollow and it's cold."

The bass throbbed through her body as she relinquished all will to the erotic stomp and swagger of the music, the events of the night dropped from her mind like the scales from Saint Paul's eyes.

She surrendered herself to her most basic of instincts, the music inducing her lust for sex and more blood. She smiled at her resilience, "You sucked that up like a pro, princess. Now we just have to find someone to sait at LEAST one of your desires"

She cracked a copper eye open, scanning the room for someone worthy of her attention. A smirk snuck across her alabaster face as she thought to herself , "So many pretty babies, so much hot blood, how's a girl to ever choose?"

She considered his words for a long moment, tugging abesently at the gloves she wore so that when she next spoke her hands were bare, stark under the lights. "I"m not sure I like the thought of either prospect. Whether the skin was taken for supernatural uses or simply to make a nice fur coat, its still..." she shuddered. "Well, reason aside, there is still the who and the how. I assume the police are already looking into the case? I hope so, at least..."

"Oh, and just how divided are the rats in the city, by the way?"

His eyes followed her across the dance floor. She was obviously a vampire, despite the 'life' she obviously displayed. It wasn't that he didn't like vampires, on the contrary he'd always found them fascinating. He occasionally toyed with the idea of allowing a vampire to feed from him but he never actually went through with it. He wasn't afraid. He just didn't want them tasting him. It would be the same tonight.

That was the unfortunate part. It was always the same. Arrive at ten, have two drinks and leave by eleven thirty, alone. He liked his own company, most of the time but every now and then he wanted to be with people.

Monday July 8th 10:40pm - La Cirque - Tyler

Tyler walked along the curb, his leather jacket clung loosely to his lithe frame. The cool night air was almost chilling against his pale, bare skin. He shrugged the jacket together and brought the slow burning cigarette to his lips. Tyler couldn't taste it, or draw it into his lungs, but by force of habit he couldn't quit the things. The vampire spun it between his fingers Coffin nails they're called. He put the fag back between his lips and watched the glowing embers burn Guess I'm seeing 'em from the other side of the coffin now.... The small burning death stick was flicked casually into the sewer grate as Tyler continued on down the gray sidewalk.

The light from the street lamp shone dully on the lone walker as he turned to look over his shoulder. He was quite far from his usual haunt. The Cathouse was way across town, closed for the night due to the owner and half the staff's 'personal reasons'. Whatever the real reason, Tyler found himself misplaced in front of a club the likes he had heard tales of, but never ventured far enough from his nest to actually visit. He stood ouside for a moment, studying the elegantly scrawled letters on the neon sign. They read simply, 'La Cirque'.

Tyler nodded to the bouncer on the way in, the return greeting was pretty half-assed. The big guy looked to be having a bad night. The interior of the room was vibrant. The dance floor was completely full save for the patches of walls taken up by impromptu couples moving their personal displays of affection to an area where it was less likely they be trampled. The bat made his way to the bar and sat with his back to it, his emerald eyes just training on a flash of golden hair when a strong feminine voice cooed from behind him.

"Can I get you anything sugar?"

Tyler turned and with a glimmer of a smirk. "Whiskey on the rocks and change on the dollar for the jukebox." He paused and looked at the blank look on the girl's face. "Nevermind, maybe just something for this tooth ache baby" The bat flicked his tongue across one of his pearly white fangs.

"Sure thing" The bar-wench turned and moved down the aisle to fetch Tyler his drink.

Tyler tapped the ornate bar and spun back around to watch the dancers sway to the transic flow of the music. The waitress hadn't gotten his joke and the music wasn't quite what he was in the mood for, but one girl in particular seemed to catch his eye, maybe even worth staying for...

"That will most definately make things hard." She nodded. "Either way there is a lot of work that will have to be done to prove ourselves and our motives. Trust is a valuable commodity, and one that is the hardest to come by. Do you have a plan of action yet?" She asked before taking a dainty bite from her first biscuit.

Monday July 8th 10:43[pm - La Cirque - Sailor

There wasn't a day that went by that Sailor didn't appreciate her vampirism for the gift that she truly believed it to be and tonight she had doubted that gift for the moments she had spent huddled in the dim booth with Jeremy and David. All that was now being scrubbed away by the bright lights, swirling music and the sensation of lustful glances being shot her way from the various patrons of the club.

Her mortal joy of dancing was always interupted by becoming tired and moist with dewy sweat, her vampirism slashed both offenses in one cauterising cut. She could dance from the moment she rose until sunrise and on occasion she did, tonight she danced as hard as her diminutive body would allow. Song after song, never faltering a single footstep, she writhed and grinded to a string of songs, until something. . .someone shook her from her hypnosis. The air crackled with his resonating static electricity, that only she seemed to be sensitive to. She could taste him, smell him, but not quite manage to home in exactly where he was. She snapped her eyes shut, trying to ignore the lure that he was emanating and concentrated instead on the four four march of the music.

Whoever this was, his presence wasn't going to let her ignore him. She tried to push the feeling out of her head, but serpentine hands clutched at her thoughts and senses forcing her to become more aware. She couldn't place her finger on it, he was either someone familiar or someone powerful. It was one hell of a surging connection and she was feeling caught in an uncomfortable spot somewhere between fury and arousal.

She set her jaw, her curiosity winning the battle against her stubborness. She stalked off the dancefloor , head held high and lips set to a glorious full mouthed pout. As she made her way back to the bar and the irridescent twins she found herself thinking, "Easy girl, this is something big, he'll find you before you find him. Turn on the sass, its easier to attract flies with honey than it is with vinegar"

He almost waved the waiter aside but paused, watching the petite vampire. "I've changed my mind," he said. "Get me a Bloody Mary. I'd also like to buy they young woman at the bar a drink. You shouldn't have time telling which one. She's a vampire. I'd also like to make a request for the DJ." He held out a fifty dollar bill. "I don't want change."

A few moment later, the song that was playing finished and Dorian's song began. He preferred the Animotions version but the Sugarbabes would do.

You are an obsession I cannot sleep
I am a possession unopened at your feet
Theres no balance no equality
But still I will not except defeat

He took a sip of his Bloody Mary and, with the drink in his hand, moved out onto the dance floor. Like a shadow, he slipped between the moving bodies, pausing occasionally to dance with one for a few seconds before moving on. It was all part of the game. The vampire was obviously one of the club's dancers. The waiter would tell her who had purchased the drink. All she had to do was find him in the writhing crowd.

Monday July 8th 10:45 pm - La Cirque - Sailor

Sailor perched gracefully on a bar stool, her back to the bar, sunfire eyes scanning the ebb and flow of the dancefloor. The presence of him still bristling every tiny hair on her body. Samuel's light fingered hand rested on her shoulder, his warmth and pulse seeping through the flimsy silk of her dress. She craned her neck and swivelled her head to look up into his large, opalescent eyes. He smiled awkwardly at her and pressed a tall glass of rubine liquid into her hand. She raised an inquisitive eyebrow at him, "What's this for, pretty pretty?"

A flush of rose blossomed on the bartender's cheeks, his eyes averted to the vampire's smoldering gaze, "A gentleman bought this for you, Sail"

"Oh really, " the eyebrow remained high, "And exactly who was this gentleman, my pretty pretty?"

Samuel's blush deepend a shade, "I'm not sure, he headed out to the dancefloor after ordering your drink. Big tipper too."

Sailor twisted around on the stool, resting her elbows on the bar and cupping her chin in one graceful hand, the other hand fingered a strand of Samuel's moonlight hair between fingers tipped in the sweetest of candy pinks. The intensity of her eye contact and the intimacy of her action, furthered the colouring in Samuel's parchment pale complexion, "Well, Sam Sam, if the nice gentleman does return, do be sure to introduce me. It would be most unladylike of me to not thank him for his kind gesture"

She leaned in and placed a light kiss on the tip of Samuel's nose before he was called away by thirsty clients. Sailor turned around on the stool to once again face the dancefloor, searching through the sea of faces, trying to fathom who this mystery admirer could possibly be. The mildly erotic tingle of the unknown presence still resonating within her porcelain hued flesh. She sat with a contented and amused smirk smeared across her glossy scarlet lips as she supped from the tall glass, "Maybe it won't just be Clarence and I riding the Camero home tonight"

She nodded again as she chewed, consuming her meal a bit more humainly than others of the breakfast party. "Time... that appears to be something else that is in short supply. But even if you do manage to subvert the other factions, which I doubt will be easy, there is that matter of trust. The submissives will follow you simply because you have proved your strength, but there are sure to be those who will try to overthrow you and take what they percieve as thiers. A long and painful road either way. And meantime there will be the fear of whoever or whatever is taking the lives of the rats in the city. It is a difficult position to be in." She sighed. I do dislike violence, she thought, knowing that there was almost no chance of resolving any of the issues without some sort of fight. It was simply the way of things. She also knew that should the situation warrant it, she would fight. "Uniting the rats is a major point in the struggle, but we should also be focusing on the killer, attempting to determine what they are looking for in thier victim. Profile them, if you will. We need information on the victims. Not just how they met thier demise, but who they were before hand. You say one of them was known for a beautiful coat. We need to know if the same is true for the others as well, anything that might link them. Then perhaps we may be able to better protect prospective victims."

She was intrigued. That much he could tell. He didn't stare at her. That would give too much away. It would be an improper move in the game and the game was everything.

He felt a slight ripple flow through the crowd and resisted the urge to look. It was nothing more than one of the lycanthropes in the club heading for the exit. It was probably the werewolf who obviously didn't belong. He was here to deliver a potent message and, having done so, was departing. Perhaps the other wolf was leaving with him. Without looking it was difficult to tell and to look would be to spoil the game.

The young Rat King chuckled. "Of course. I'll just walk into the police department and take a look through their files. The next question is, how do I deal with a population that isn't stable. Wererats come and go. Some are more loners than others. Did somebody move on or are they dead? There is no way of knowing. I can ask around, of course but I'm only certain of getting answeres from my own people. Am I supposed to look the other way because the dead are from a different faction?"

"I could ask that cute cop," Don said. "The oriental one, who took me to see Tony the first time."

"Yeah," Mike chimed in. "Go ask the rat killer who it is that's killing rats."

Lillia cast an annoyed glance at Mike. Does he ever say anything at all that isn't bound to grate on someones nerves? She wondered to herself. "Its not just the rats who are like that. " She said, looking out the long windows at the city outside. " The city is full of people who are constantly moving, some loners, as you said, some not. It is a fact of life itself. Even if you succeed in combining all the factions into one, there will be those who will keep to themselves. Most of the others would look away because its not one of thiers that is dying. Maybe they would even be glad. I can't think like that, and I don't think you can either. You don't seem the type." She said, sliding the sunglasses off her nose and returning her gaze to the rat king. "Of course, Harold always said I had the unique ability to see good even in the Devil himself." She said with the tiniest hint of a smile. "I think that someone should speak with this police officer. There is no way to tell if she can- or will- be able to help, but its better than nothing."

"She will," Nick said. "When she killed the wererat, she had no choice. It was on the front page. He got caught out on the beach on the 4th.

"I know." Lillia said softly, casting a glance at Tony. His story had been part of the reason that she had done what she did for him. Someone who had done so good a deed should not have to suffer for it. "He told me that a police officer had shot the rat involved, but I had not known that it was someone that you knew." She continued, turning her gaze back to him. She gave a slight appologetic smile as she slipped her sunglasses back on. It was hard to tell which was more hurtful, the sunlight streaming in the window, or the harshness of the flourescent lights above.

"It is good news that there is someone who is willing to help though. No one can take all burdens on by themselves." She said seriously, then went back to her lukewarm breakfast.

"Truth be told, I don't know her. Don does." Nick grinned. "If she's cute and female, Don knows her and has likely made at least a half hearted attempt at a pass. There aren't a lot of available female wererats, so he does most of his looking outside the rodere. Believe it or not, he's one of my best networkers. Mike on the other hand...." Nick's grin widened. "He's my comic relief. I can always count on him to do or say something stupid."

"I heard that," Mike called out.

"Am I wrong?" asked Nick.

Mike muttered something under his breath and Nick laughed. "Actually, he's a lot smarter than he appears. He doesn't miss a thing and he could steal your underwear without you noticing it was missing."

She knew it was going to take a while to get used to being back in the city. She vaguely wondered as she chewed her food if any of her old friends were still around.

I may be new to the rodere, at least under this king, but I know the rules. I have to earn my place, and I don't intend to do it by sleeping with anyone, even the king." She pulled her sunglasses off and leveled her pink-red gaze at Anne. "I came today for Tony's sake. I didn't want him to fall in with the wrong rodere. But now, after what I've heard, theres so much more of a reason for me to stay. If you can't believe that I just want to do what is right, then fine, but I hope that you and I can come to an understanding.

Cynara had continued dancing after chasing the big man away. She had noticed the vamp that had been burning up the dance floor, and had almost gone over to talk but then remembered her reactions to the vamps lastnight. She wasn't even sure just how she knew that the woman was a vamp, but she knew it. And yet... she still wanted to go talk to the short woman, she reminded Cynara of her friends that she used to go to the bar and dance with back home. They used to get all the men's attention. She had no doubt that if she were to start grinding with another chick right here and now that there would be plenty of male attention. But she had been told she wasn't ready for sex, and she was actually going to respect her elders. For now.
She left the dance floor and walked smoothly over to the bar, trying to catch someone's eye so that they would buy her a drink. Just cause she couldn't have sex, didn't mean that she couldn't at least flirt a little, did it?

I just have to try and see the good in every horrible thing. Guess it comes from knowing that I was going to die from a very young age." She smiled a bit there. It was a statement of fact for her. She had begun life in a guilded cage, nearly smothered by those people that loved her most, trying to protect her from the things that would hurt her and eventually kill her. "I'm not so naive as to think the old king had some goodness in his heart. He was twisted in such a way that I think no one would have been able to fix him. But even though his motives were wrong, his sadistic experiment is the reason why I'm still here." She shrugged. "Some good can come of anything. Sometimes you just have to look a bit harder for it. The old king made us what we are today. You, me, Nick- all of us. Because of the horrors of the past, we have a chance to fight the horrors of the future." She made a bit of a face.

Monday July 8th 9:50 pm - SEA-TAC Airport - Siemen

With long, slow strides Simon stepped from the chartered plane with briefcase in hand. The relative peace of the airport this time between commercial flights was making for a comforting arrival. Crystaline green eyes scanned through all the people present this time of the night while walking the white tiled halls, listening to the echo of his polished leather boots. His clothing was only a couple decades out of style, but it seemed a bit out of place compared to the varying styles of modern clothing. It was just a small matter that had been a distraction quickly ended as the sound of his boots being muffled brought him into the carpeted lobby with its mall of overpriced goods. The first and closest was a newspaper and magazine stall openly displayed with only a few people. He snagged a pair of sleek black sunglasses on the way towards the counter before taking a copy of the day's newspaper, paying in a whole bill and not waiting for his change as he continued the departure without delay, loosely folding the paper in two and sliding it within the jacket of his old fashioned suit. The glasses found their way into a pocket as he did up each button in step, taking another moment to buy a small red carnation flower to pin over his col heart, sliding the thin and fragile green stem into the outer pocket. An escalator and short walk to large glass doors were all that lay now between him and a busy night street outside which offered no more chance to alter his appearance.

The outside wind disrupted his light hair as it rushed against him once the door slid open, although Simon payed it no heed. The many different makes and models of cars held his attention for a moment as he walked across to the side of the street, although he concealed the interest beneath the calm mask of his face while running through a checklist of things he had to do this first night in America. First thing first was to find the Master of the City, although just how he was to do that would be a problem. The sun had already been down for quite some time to darken the sky entirely, causing the lights to turn on and cast their eerie yellow glow over the sidewalk. In another minute or two a commercial jet would land and this whole place would fill again, but for now the only activity was the busy rush of taxi's and shuttles returning in anticipation of their next load of passengers. After standing for a good ten seconds to observe the surroundings and resume his silent planning, a polished black limousine glided through the darkness nearby and came to a stop at the side of the road. Instinctively Simon reached up to make sure the lined collar of his very old suit was aligned with the buttons.

There was a polite cough from his left hand side. The man who stepped forward was dressed in a very fashionable italian suit, sans tie, a silk shirt and a pair of designer sunglasses. His hair was long and dark and pinned back in a style that should have looked feminine but didn't. There was a stillness about him that no living man would have been able to match. "Herr Siemen Ulrich Giarovald?" he inquired politely, his inflection suggesting that he spoke no german. "If you would be so kind as to follow me, I have a car waiting. My name is Waylon Crosby.

He raised his eyes to his side to regard Waylon crosby as he introduced himself, silently admiring the man and filing him away into one of many slots inside his mind. Simon gave a small courteous nod of his appreciation, closing crackled gem eyes as his head tipped before resuming to look at a point just over Waylons left ear against the dusted wall. His reply came in a smoothe soft spoken voice. Although the words were not said any louder then required, they were each pronounced, specific and precise, fluidly rolling from his mouth with the inclination to his words only an orator could inject; his soft German accent artisticaly flowing between each syllable only intensifying the sound, although he keps reserved and distant as the blank mask of his face would suggest.
"A pleasure, mister Crosby. Please," He said, removing his curled polished leather gloved hand from the round skin hugging collar of his neck to open his fingers and glide the hand to the side in an open offering, reaffirming his grasp upon the briefcase he held in the other "Lead the way. A very convenient timing." Siemen spoke no more then this lest it start conversation at the side of the street, simply tucking his hand back at his side to follow along as his words ceased.

Tyler felt the unfamiliar powerful wash of feeling flow through his cold body. The vampire turned slightly, just enough to admire the graceful feminine entity the feeling was intimately attatched to. The man twirled his glass between his thin fingertips and watched the girl alight on the leather stool. Tyler turned again toward the dancefloor, spotting the man who had bought the girl a drink not a moment before. A pink tongue ran fluidly over Tyler's fangs, quite a feat through smirking lips. He polished off his drink in one smooth quaff and stood from his stool, moving with his patented rock star swagger to the empty seat next to the sought after spot-light temptress. Tyler never took his eyes off the dance floor as he spoke. "Are you still looking for me?"

A vampire had taken an interest in the young woman as well, although with vampires 'young' could be relative. He was curious as to what her story might be. She seemed so full of life to be undead.

Dorian spun away from his lastest dance partner, a peroxide blonde who acted as if she were on E. She made a half hearted attempt to follow, foiled by the ease with which he moved through the crowd. Perhaps the new vampires appearance would add an interesting element to the game.

It wasn't the first empty house the SWAT team had raided, but more than one commented that it was the cleanest. "Are you going to call for the forensic team?" Decker asked calmly, looking at Domenic. He switched his gaze to Jack and Suki. "Not much to observe, I'm afraid. I'll leave you and the father to do the wrap-up on this one."

The rest of the SWAT team went quite. They knew their commander and they knew when he was pissed. Domenic noted the change. "I offer my apologies," he said. "My information was that my perp was here. He obviously caught wind of the warrant or caught wind of the fact that I'd found his victim. Now I have to track him down again. Likely he's changed states, hoping to outrun the warrant. In any case, thank you for your assistance. If I'd tried this without waiting to get proper back-up, I'd have likely been up to my ass in my own blood."

"It's a good thing nobody bled on this one, father Sozio."

Sailor didn't so much hear his words as feel them flutter like powdery wings against her cool flesh. Before he had even taken the stool next to hers she knew that this was who had been taunting her with his electrifying allure. Although she knew he was one of her own, he seemed to almost radiate a certain heat, as he perched next to her his presence flooded her senses, her smoldering copper eyes dilating in a heady combination of lust and authoritative dominance. If she didn't know any better, she would have sworn that she felt her heart lurch into a desperate escape to leave the confines of her ribcage.

Her liquid metal eyes slyly flitted to drink in his appearance, "Seems like I didn't have too look to hard, Love."

She ran delicate fingers teasingly from his bent knee up his inner thigh, stopping short of brushing anything too intimate. . . .for the time being. Great thrums of familiarity and forgotten feelings rode up her fingertips, enveloping her entire being in a shower of tiny sparks. She half closed her eyes seductively, hiding the intense feelings that were bombarding her, managing to keep her air of dignity about her despite the jumbled relay of messages flickering like a 8mm home movie through her mind.

Who the fuck are you, I KNOW you

The tip of her tongue darted between her barely parted lips, tasting the candy-apple red lip gloss. "So tell me, tall dark and . . .hmm . . . .fiendish", a smutty smile streaked across her scarlet lips, "You ususally spend your evenings stalking poor, little, defenseless girls?"
