He wouldn't ever admit that he jumped at the sudden appearance of the vampire.  Realistically, the only one he could tolerate for any extended time would be the other angel, but even she was a little to<i>sweet</i>for his liking.  Still, it was a good variety and with their expertise, they would surely make a dent into keeping them hidden from the human world.  And if they saved a few lives along the way, well, that was what they wanted, right?<br/><br/>As the final member of this group finally made his appearance, the director moved.  He thought of thanking them for showing up, but it wasn't like they had much of a choice.  "Darling, you are not the only one I find valuable," he said, his smooth baritone addressing the vampire.  He locked eyes with the demon, eyes narrowing as his lips turned into a frown.<br/><br/>"If you did your job better, he'd be here, wouldn't he?"  He didn't raise his voice, but it was obvious he wasn't pleased.  He unclasped his hands from behind his back.  "I will agree that time is a factor here."  He walks around to the front of the desk, leaning against it and crossing his arms.<br/><br/>"You're all here for your own reasons, or mine," he admitted as an afterthought.  "But it stands to reason that your talents and little gifts will be very useful in this little project I am doing.  I don't need to tell you how important it is for our existence to remain a secret, nor do I need to point out that there are some things humans just can't contain or deal with.  That's where you come in.  I want you to finish the jobs they can't.  Find those that threaten our existence and get rid of them.  Whether that be human or not."<br/><br/>He grabs three folders off of the desk behind him and hands them out.  "There is a hospital nearby that's admitted five adults within the past week.  They're all in their twenties, they're all active and they've all come in with the same symptoms."  He opens his own folder and pulls out a picture of a redheaded woman around the age of twenty three.<br/><br/>"This is Marie when she didn't wake up in her home."  He grabs a second picture of a woman with gray hair and wrinkled skin.  "This is Marie two days later.  The doctors are worried it's some kind of epidemic though the CDC hasn't found a virus yet.  I'm sending you to find out what we're dealing with.  My," he glares at Lucas, " protégé has decided to go ahead.  He's at Mercy Hospital down on 4th avenue.  He can give you more information when you get there.  And Lucas?  Try not to lose him again.  You're dismissed."
