</div></div><br/><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'">The building loomed overhead and Luca eyed it with a frown on his lips. In the daylight, the black colored stone didn't have the usual intimidating look that it held at night. Luca took the steps up to the doors slowly. At Aries' question, he took a breath and held it as he paused just outside. "Angry for traveling with you? I don't know, I hope not. But it might be best to try to avoid eye contact with them. Last thing we need is a fight breaking out. They might remember us though from last time so, we'll see." Luca reached up and paused yet again just above the door handle. "It'll be alright," he assured Aries, a well as himself. With that, he pulled the door open and stepped in. It had been a long time since he'd simply walked into a hunters headquarters.<br/>
<br/>
"Hey, I remember you," a hunter called out from behind a desk. He stood and Luca gave him a simple nod of his head. He remembered the man too, as he'd been the one to greet the pair the night Aries' had saved his life. "What brings you back here?"<br/>
<br/>
"A few things actually," Luca answered. "I need to send a message to the higherups. It's rather important that they get it as soon as possible."<br/>
<br/>
The hunter gestured to the computers at the desk and gave a simple nod. "Knock yourself out. Can't guarantee they'll read it today, but hey. Worth a shot right?"<br/>
<br/>
"Thank you," he said and moved to the computer that the hunter had pointed at. Luca seated himself and navigated his way through the system. Unlike traditional methods of sending a message, the hunters relied on a specific one that only they used and so the black screen that presented itself seemed rather dull but it was exactly what he needed. Luca began typing out his message once the screen prompted him to do so. When he finished, he gave his hunter ID, the number that marked him within the hunters association and finished with a few symbols at the end to ensure the message would send.<br/>
<br/>
When Luca pushed away and stood from the computer, the hunter who'd waited patiently to get his seat back looked him over. "If you don't mind my asking, how long are you going to be in town?"<br/>
<br/>
Luca frowned. <i>He wants something... no one starts a conversation like that without wanting something,</i> he told himself but deigned to answer anyway. "Not long, I was planning on leaving now if possible. But... what is it?" <br/>
<br/>
"A hunter didn't come back last night. He's a young kid, a bit younger than you by the looks of it. New to this life. We got busy last night and I wasn't able to go looking for him. I have a couple of hunters out now, but, nothing yet. I'd appreciate your help. If the kid got himself in trouble it might not have ended well. I prefer if you brought back a warm body, but at this point, anything is better than nothing."<br/>
<br/>
Luca looked over at Aries and then shrugged. "We'll take a look," he decided with a sigh. "Don't hold your breath."<br/>
<br/>
"I know," the hunter replied. "Thanks for this. Be careful, been some wicked undead lately."<br/>
<br/>
Luca waved his hand in acknowledgement as he turned and headed for the door. As he exited out into the city he looked around and let out a sigh. Rubbing his hand through his hair he looked over to Aries and frowned. "Sorry. I hope you don't mind a slight detour."</span>
