Great, they had the license plate! It really made him feel good that they had finally gotten something accomplished. If they could find out where Levi was hiding they would have their location, and he was going to make sure, once he got his hands on Levi, that man would regret pissing him off.<br/><br/>His hands balled into fists while he sat there staring at the television screen. Throughout this whole thing, he has had mixed feeling about what he should do with Levi. Killing him did seem like the best option, especially for what he was putting Shizu through. He had rescued Shizu from that kind of life and it truly did tear him to pieces that she had been thrown back in. He was determined to get here out of this mess once and for all, and ensure she lived freely. It was the least he could do for it. But Levi, he had taken that all away all because he wanted revenge. For that, Levi deserved to die. He deserved a slow and painful death. On the other hand, Levi was still Cassandra’s brother. Part of him wanted to try to reach him even though the man did seem like he was beyond reasoning.<br/><br/>Cassandra would not want them to fight like this… that was what he had told Levi, and he hoped he could understand. He was not someone who could deal with people in that way. Zachariah or Maverick would be a lot better, to be honest, as he was simply not good to reaching people. That was probably the biggest reason he was leaning toward just killing him. Well, kill him after they got some information out of him first. It still bothered him that Levi might have had some help. Ivan was not the only one thinking that there might have been someone else there, who might not have wanted the public to see everything. He was curious as to who Levi might be working with; something told him that he was not going to like what was about to be revealed to him when that time came, but it had to be done.<br/><br/>He nodded to Elias when he informed them of what they needed to look out for. He was so focused he barely caught the conversation between Elias and Ivan. This all had to stop. Not just for Shizu, but for everyone else as well. Finding these people helping Levi would mean putting a stop to more people who oppose Zachariah’s organization. The more people they wiped out, the closer Zachariah would be to expanding his organization and showing more people God’s love. Zachariah was never interested in world domination, of course. He just wanted to do what he could by lending his hand in defending the world from people who only wish for evil. While he was sure that Levi was not evil, just someone who strayed off the path God had set for him, who might be able to be saved, he did not know what the people who helped him were capable of.<br/><br/>If new enemies were going to come out of this he wanted to nip it in the bud, as Maverick would often say.<br/><br/>As soon as the alert came on screen, he snapped out of his thoughts and listened to what was going on. When the life feed began to play, he could not believe what he was seeing. As soon as he saw Shizu his hands balled into fists and his brow furrowed slightly as a look of disgust made its way to his expression. It took everything he had not to let his anger show. If he lost his cool now, it would be all over. There was no way he was allowing Levi that satisfaction even though he knew that the look of disgust was probably giving him what he wanted and that made him angry. Part of him hoped that Elias would not find them easily. He was ready to bolt out the door once he knew where they were. On the other hand, who knew what Levi had planned for Shizu?<br/><br/>The tension in the air could probably be cut with a knife.<br/><br/>That grin that Levi gave made him shift in his seat a little just to try to relax. An uneasy feeling fell to his stomach, as if he was aware that he was able to be unsettled by what the man was about to do.<br/><br/>“Oh, good, you can see us.” Levi said shortly after his partner had given him the green light. He to sit near Shizu, messing around with a pocket knife he had in his hands. He was gently rubbing his hands together with the knife between them. It was a miracle he didn’t fumble and cut himself. “It’s nice of you to hear me out. Here I was thinking you’d keep turning me away, which by the way was quite mean.”<br/><br/>Azrai noticed how he was talking about himself and not including the people he was working with. He was not one for games, but maybe he could use that to his advantage. Surely his comrades would not be happy about that. Or were they just use to him being this selfish? It would at least give him something to put his thoughts towards so he wouldn’t throw something at the television. The urge became even harder to resist when Levi went to push a strand of hair out of Shizu’s face, and then forced her to face the camera. Every part of him just wanted to wipe that grin off of his face right then and there. If her being bound like that wasn’t enough, he was being rough with her and treating her like she was just some toy. It boiled his blood… this was what the people who harmed Cassandra did.<br/><br/>Was he trying to reenact that in his own way? If he was, he was about to tread down a dangerous road…<br/><br/>“I’ll spare you the talk.” Levi continued, placing the blade of his pocket knife under Shizu’s chin. “As they say, actions speak louder than words…” In spite of how calm he seemed, there was something about him that said he was a little too excited for this. He suddenly got on top of her and carefully moved the blade along her skin, stopping when he came to the wound on her chest. “Let’s just get down to business. I never did like small talk, anyway… Take a good look, Azrai. You think you can just ignore me? Well, ignore this!” With that, he dug the tip of the blade into the wound, making it deeper. He was going to do everything in his power to get everyone worked up, and to make Shizu scream. His work would not be complete without a scream, even if it would be difficult for her considering she had something over her mouth.<br/><br/>Azrai’s hands slid down to the couch. He gripped it tightly, trying so hard to keep his emotions in check. He was stuck in a tough spot. If he looked away, he would be showing weakness. He did not want to see this happening and he knew Levi would want him to be as uncomfortable as possible. If he did keep looking, he’d just get pissed off. Levi seemed to have him right where he wanted him and it was infuriating. Was this his own doing, or had Levi planned it this way from the start? Levi has never really been the calculating type, but that didn’t mean he was an idiot. Surely on a subconscious level he was fully aware of what he was doing. That man seemed to have something going for him, especially with how confident he was.<br/><br/>He has never seen someone as energetic as that man. Not counting a few people he drinks with every now and then, whenever Ivan was unavailable. But they were drunk when they got wild… Levi was just… he was something else…<br/><br/>He looked to Elias, hoping that he had found Levi’s location.<br/><br/>---------------------------------------<br/><br/>Levi was having so much with this. Everything was going so smoothly which was a nice since this had really been a last minute thing, it had all been worth it in the end. The camera worked, the woman was bound, and Azrai… Oh, Azrai. He could tell that Azrai was getting worked up over this, which was what he wanted. It almost felt like everything was just being handed to him on a silver plate. It was such an amazing feeling, something he wished he got to experience more often. If he and David were accepted into that organization, he knew he would be able to. Now all he needed to do was get through this. That meant that he was going to need to take it one step further and really provoke Azrai. Judging by how he was looking at him, he was sure that wouldn’t take much.<br/><br/>“Now, the main event.” He murmured, folding his knife back up and tucking it away into his pocket. “You know, Azrai, I should tell you. This woman is quite attractive for a monster, and quite feisty. She put up quite the fight when I was carrying her down here to you. I can see why you’re so attracted to her.” He glanced at the laptop out of the corner of his eye, catching a bit of movement from Azrai yet again. Perfect, the man was reacting a lot quicker than he wanted. He simply allowed it to encourage him. There was no way he could harm them, however he was sure that the Oni woman could if he fucked up. He was going to need to be cautious. This was the fun part, yes, but also the most dangerous. If he slipped up it would all be over, he’d never have his revenge and he and David would never move on to something bigger.<br/><br/>A quick glance was given to Tyler, “Keep an eye on her. I don’t want any mishaps, understood?” He used that same tone from before, the one that had a bit of an edge to it. If anything went wrong then he would feed him to the Oni. He didn’t care how calm he was about being bit, fuck ups were not acceptable.<br/><br/>Levi turned his attention back to the woman. “She has such a nice figure…” His hand slowly began to glide over her figure, his eyes filled with that same greedy look from before. He grinned at her. Her skin felt nice to the touch, smooth and almost perfect, almost  When his hand reached her thighs, he stopped. The grin faded a little, “Oh… it wouldn’t be right for me to violate such a jewel, now would it?” He could have sworn he heard Azrai snarl something at him, but he was too focused on the Oni to notice anything. She really did have a nice figure. He could feel his mouth begin to salivate as he thought of everything he could do to her, his body trembling a little from the excitement. It was so hard to contain himself, the longer he was here with her.<br/><br/>“On second thought, I deserve this.” The look in Levi’s eyes changed a little; he was starting to go off into his own little world again. “I should just dive in like I always do whenever I make a big catch like this. It would be so easy… She’s an Oni, but she’s still a woman… How hard would it be?” His removed his hand from her and brought it close to his belt, but he did not undo the buckle. A laugh left him just then and he grabbed her by the collar of her shirt, pulling her toward him. “But I’m not going to put you through that. You are something special, so you deserve special treatment instead of me fucking you until you can’t walk properly.” Or him for that matter, but he left that part out. There was no need for him to say it anyway.<br/><br/>“Why don’t we change that?” He brought out his pocket knife again, this time making a small cut on her cheek. “There, much better.” He then slashed her thighs, and made a few cuts on her arms. Once that was done, he finally tucked the pocket knife away once more. He got off of her and looked at his work, pushing her hair out of her face again. He loved the look she was giving him. Everything truly was going how he wanted it to. Unfortunately, it had not been enough for him to get out all of his energy, but there was still a lot that needed to get done. He did want to save some for when Azrai got here. That was when the action would truly begin. Until then, he was just going to need to be patient once more.<br/><br/>It was going to be difficult, but he had to. In the end it was all going to be worth it.<br/><br/>Glancing at the laptop, he smiled cruelly at the three men watching him, “You’d better hurry before she bleeds out.” The smiled faded and he suddenly looked to David and Tyler, “Show’s over. Turn off the camera.”<br/><br/>Once the camera was off Levi laughed and ran a hand over his face. It took him a moment to compose himself, but once he did he looked at Tyler. “You know,” he began, “maybe I have been a little too hard on you. You did well, binding her I mean.” He walked over to the mythologist and gave him a light pat on the shoulder. This did not mean that Levi was going to give him a place with his little group, of course. The mythologist was far from earning those stripes. There was just something about him he did not want to trust. On the other hand, if he ever needed someone with his talents again he might consider giving him a call if he didn’t have anyone else. Maybe… probably not. He wasn’t sure if he would ever feel compelled to deal with the preternatural world again.<br/><br/>He also had to hand it to David as well. If it weren’t for him, as always, he knew he’d not have been able to get what he wanted by the end of the day. He had been wary of bringing in another person. Naturally, he was still pretty wary now in spite of the praise he had given the mythologist, constantly worried that something might happen. This had most definitely strengthened the trust he had for David. If he ever needed another person, he would be sure to allow David to bring in a person of his choice without too much trouble.<br/><br/>“That had gone well. Nice work, everyone.” He said calmly, smiling at both David and Tyler. “Now, we wait.” He then started to walk off into another room. He paused and looked over his shoulder, mostly at Tyler, and said, “I have a phone call to make before Azrai gets here. Make sure nothing happens with the woman.”
