The moment Ivan mentioned he was in agreement with everything, he knew that things would be fine from here on out. Meaning there was not much else to discuss. Everyone was aware of their roles and was ready for action, once they stepped out of this apartment everything would fall into motion. In a strange way this felt just like any other mission they had faced. The thought helped ease him a little, helped him to focus a bit more. Even Elias was joining the fray. He had to agree with Ivan a little in that even though Elias would be useful looking up medical information it was best they have all hands on deck.  Even though he was confident they would succeed, never once doubting his friends, having some back up gave him reassurance, he wouldnâ€™t have to do this alone in case something went wrong or he felt compelled to be reckless.<br/><br/>He gave a nod to show he, too, understood fully what needed to be done. â€œI agree that it isâ€¦ best that we act now. Travel light and be prepared for anything. If something on either end goes wrong we shallâ€¦ keep in contact with the other party and then take actions accordingly.â€ They needed to act now or else lose the opportunity to get to Levi. While he thought of a few different scenarios and ho when would be able to go about them, he ran a hand through his hair and exhaled softly. Part of him wanted to speak up about a lot of things but the words wouldnâ€™t come out whenever he tried to speak up. How odd.  Usually he was able to keep himself together, keep a level head, but now he just seemed out of it, hopefully it wouldnâ€™t affect the mission in any way.<br/><br/>Heâ€™d never be able to forgive himself if he lost Shizu because of one fuck up.<br/><br/>Instead of speaking up again, he just pulled his Desert Eagle from its holster, checked the clip, and readied it for use. He still had some rounds left and had not even touched his extra clips. He tucked the gun back under his coat and followed everyone towards the door.<br/><br/>This mission was going to succeed. There was no â€˜maybeâ€™ here, no ifâ€™s, they were going to capture Levi and that was that. Oh, he was determined alright, though, deep down, he was wounded. He had never really had anything against Levi prior to his and really wished he would let go of this silly vendetta. He knew for sure Cassandra would not want to see them fighting like this. That aside, he truly was pumped up for this in a way that did not make this seem like just another mission. It felt a lot like his time with Shizu back in Japan, when they were escaping from the hotel. Maybe it wasâ€¦ noâ€¦. He knew for a fact it was because he cared about her. He hadnâ€™t bothered hiding it so why was he still in denial? He really didnâ€™t know. Either way, it was best that they focus on the mission.<br/><br/>Once outside, he did his best to ignore the cold he had almost forgotten about and followed Ivan towards the car. He didnâ€™t take much from their storage in the trunk. An extra gun, and some more clips, just in case he was disarmed of his Desert Eagle were carefully hidden under his coat. When he was packing for this trip he really hadnâ€™t packed too much to take with him anyway. He always liked to be prepared, but knew that he didnâ€™t need that much in order to be effective so he just carried what was necessary. Zachariah was only able to give them so much whenever they went on missions, so even if they wanted to be heavily equipped they simply couldnâ€™t. After years of working with the organization he had become accustomed to working with what he had. It made him laugh whenever he saw people with more equipment with them than they use.<br/><br/>Letting out a soft exhale, he looked to the other three, â€œI will be honest. I amâ€¦ confident in our skills but if Levi has somebody a lot more powerful working with him we need to be cautious.â€ He paused for a moment, and then smirked a little. â€œI amâ€¦ not expecting a walk in the park, but if everything is done right this will just like any other mission.â€ It was a simple task, right? Get in, capture Levi, and get out of there. It was something he and Ivan have done numerous times before. He only hoped that Shizu would be alright. She was just as confident as they were but she was not use to this life like they were. This wasnâ€™t a village filled with malicious people; this was something that was on a different level in several different ways. Her experience with dealing with the villagers for as long as she had might only be so helpful for so long.<br/><br/>Just for reassurance he said, â€œAnyone else who decides to stand in our way will have their brains blown out. Levi is the only one who needs to be kept alive. If someone else shows up, we shallâ€¦ take them out as well.â€ Maybe that was somewhat reckless, but again he really wanted to be careful. He was a little tense. The feeling that they were missing something was driving him up a wall. With any luck, this would be all over before Levi even knew what hit him. He and Ivan could take the bastard back to Israel with him as soon as it was over with without too much trouble. After that Shizu could continue living her life peacefully. Oh, who was he kidding, though? Shizu had been dragged into his life the moment the two of them became attached.<br/><br/>He hated to think about it, sometimes he wished things would go smoothly; he should have known that something like this would happen after he rescued her from that village. Who knows how long it would be before they would be able to let her live without constantly being monitored, assuming more people knew about her true nature. He was sure that there might be someone else just sitting there watching them, preparing to strike once they felt that Shizu was safe. That was how they got them the first time, was it not? Was she really more trouble that she was worth? Surely some might believe that. However, he did not, she had been given this chance thanks to him, because deep down he had been driven to do so and it still felt right to have her fight for her freedom, and he was still alive thanks to her.<br/><br/>He owed her just as much as she owed him. Maybe it wasnâ€™t the same, but that was just how he thought sometimes. There was also so much he wanted to ask about the Oni blood. He considered it a bit of a curse though heâ€™d never be able to bring himself to voice that.<br/><br/>He was still struggling with keeping his aggression in check. Even now he could feel the urge to spill blood becoming stronger and stronger, waiting to be released. He had that look in his eyes. If it wasnâ€™t released soon, it would explode, and nobody wanted that. They all knew what he was capable of in that state of mind and knew that they felt a certain amount of fear whenever he was angry. He was sure that if he did not keep himself under control during this, his aggression would surely cause some problems. That was something he wanted to avoid at all costs. He wasnâ€™t unconfident about controlling himself but he knew how easily he fell into that state of mind whenever he was dealing with a rough situation. This was sure to become emotional fast, which was another reason he was in agreement of them acting before anything escalated.<br/><br/>Once Ivan left with Shizu, Azrai was left with Elias. â€œLet us get into position thenâ€¦â€ he spoke up briefly. He didnâ€™t know where Shizu lived so he let the hacker lead the way for a bit. Though he has been here enough to know the area fairly well, in spite of not being able to see Elias very often, since they lived in different parts of the world, he didnâ€™t live here. He knew he wouldnâ€™t get lost but the hacker knew the alleys a lot better than he did. While he walked, he folded his arms over his chest and tucked his hands underneath them for warmth. Usually he would keep his hand by his gun, but he wanted to make it look like he was out for a stroll with a friend. That meant keeping relaxed as well, which he did to the best of his ability since he was still feeling pretty on edge.<br/><br/>â€œI do not know how well Levi and his gang know this city, butâ€¦ I am going to assume they will also know somebody who knows which alleys to hide out in. Since you will be covering me, I think you shouldâ€¦ keep an eye on any places from which they could strike quickly and unseen.â€ he said in a low voice once he felt they were in a good enough position to begin. The neighborhood really wasnâ€™t that lively right now from what he could tell. He was grateful for that. They didnâ€™t need any distractions and sure as hell didnâ€™t need anyone else getting caught up in this. â€œAs I have mentioned before, if one of us sees anything we shall act accordingly.â€ He decided to leave it at that, picking up the pace a little to give some distance between them, heading towards an area that looked clear enough, keeping the stride of someone who might be late getting somewhere.<br/><br/>There was a lot he still wanted to say to Elias, but for now he would focus on the mission while enjoying his company at the same time.<br/><br/>He was glad to have someone like Elias on his side and not against him. Not only was he very helpful dealing with pests and gathering information, but he was a good friend. They might not get to see each other much, but when they did, he has always enjoyed the hackerâ€™s company. Sometimes he felt that he didnâ€™t show Elias how much his work was appreciated as much as he should. He knew he didnâ€™t need to tell the man twice, and that it was just another thing he hated about living in different parts of the world. It might not even be needed; however, he still felt that he should show a little more appreciation for everything he does for him. Lord only knows why he puts up with him, but then again Elias managed to put up with Lucian.<br/><br/>Discovering that Shizu lived a few blocks away from Elias didnâ€™t really surprise him for some reason. He supposed it was because he had been given the task of looking after her, and he wondered if where she worked would be within a good few mile radius, but didnâ€™t take time to think about it past that. Taking a deep breath, he leaned against a building that was a good distance away and eagerly awaited Ivanâ€™s call informing them to move. He didnâ€™t want to be too far away, or too close, so he stayed where he was for the time being. He moved a hand closer to where his gun was, more than ready to spring into action as soon as Ivan gave the word. A few minutes have passed already, it wouldnâ€™t be long now. He looked over his shoulder to about where Elias would be hanging out, perhaps wondering if the action would start early.<br/><br/>Were they out here already, waiting for Shizu? Or were they still preparing? His body was no longer shivering from cold, but anticipation. Adrenaline was already starting to make him more active. It was like this whenever he went in and killed someone for a mission. This time around, it was a little different, he could feel himself becoming more and more eager to rip Levi apart, and he knew he would have to keep his aggression under control. He wondered if this was what Zachariah and the others were worried about with him coming here to Canada. Well, he was just going to have to prove he was still in control and trusted Elias and Ivan would make sure he stayed focus.<br/><br/>With Ivan and Elias by his side, he doubted this mission would fail.<br/><br/>------------------------------<br/><br/>There was once a point in Leviâ€™s life where he had loved Azrai, almost like family. At first he had been wary, but after getting to know him, spending time with him and Cassandra quite a bit, he never really had anything against him. They always go along and things were good. Then, Azrai fucked up and Cassandra got hurt; he was never going to forgive that man for allowing his sister to get hurt. Growing up, Levi and Cassandra had different mothers, and didnâ€™t see each other often but has always been all he had, especially when their father kicked him out. It would have been a little more forgivable had she actually lived after being tormented. Since she was dead, his revenge was all he had left in order to make things right. He couldnâ€™t wait to tear Azrai apart. The more he thought about it the more he could feel himself becoming increasingly eager.<br/><br/>Chuckling a little, he checked his gun as soon as David mentioned he didnâ€™t have anything else to add. He still had some ammunition stored up in the hideout. A few of his friends made sure that it would sit here untouched, until it was to be used. It wasnâ€™t often that he came out here to Canada, but it was nice to have places all over the world in case he had things to take care of. The mission where he had kidnapped that English woman had taught him that much. He refused to go into somewhere unprepared, no matter what; this might be a vendetta but he was making damn sure he would get this right. He could not stress enough how much hurt those three would be in if he did not have the Oni woman and Azrai in his grasp by the end of the day.<br/><br/>â€œLetâ€™s get started then. I want everything done in no less than five minutes as soon as the woman is sedated. We go in, get the woman, and vanish as if nothing had happened. Do I make myself clear?â€ Levi looked at each of them, especially at Tyler, still not willing to trust him until he proves himself, and gave them all one of his â€˜speak now or forever hold your peaceâ€™ looks. However, it seemed like everyone was on the same page. Levi could even see determination in Hankâ€™s eye, David he had expected to be excited. For as long as he has known the man, he knew he enjoyed the thrill of a mission, that was why he kept him along, and knew he would get the job done in spite of his fuck ups in the past. The man was reliable.<br/><br/>When nobody spoke up he decided to go into the back room and get a few more clips just in case. Just about any weapon you could imagine was in there. He searched around and grabbed the most powerful gun available. There were no anti-tank guns, or rocket launchers, or anything the military might use, but there was still some heavy artillery. Every last weapon in this room, most likely, he had help obtaining. Levi sure as hell didnâ€™t have the money for all of this even if he did have enough of a silver tongue to sucker someone out of a few bucks. It was great he had so many contacts, and some very powerful ones at that. How could he forget the person who had made this possible? Without them he would have never had this opportunity. Though, what they wanted with the Oni woman was something he wasnâ€™t informed of.<br/><br/>Oh well. As long as he was able to do whatever he wanted with her, and torment Azrai, before he handed her off then so be it. He didnâ€™t need to ask questions.<br/><br/>Returning to the small group, Levi flashed a grin, â€œLetâ€™s get this show on the road.â€ He said with a chuckle, heading outside. Hank followed suit.<br/><br/>â€œAre you sure we have everything?â€ Hank said, just trying to make sure.<br/><br/>â€œWe do.â€ Levi replied curtly, glaring at Hank a little, giving little room for him to say anything back. It pissed him off that he still had doubts. He really was not in the mood for bickering right now. If Hank doubted him, perhaps he should do everything his way and the other three could stand and watch him get ripped to shreds by the woman. Onis were supposed to be vicious, werenâ€™t they? All supernatural beings had a taste for blood after all. They were monsters in need of eradication; he stood by that view religiously even though he knew his God had abandoned him years ago when he lost Cassandra. He was expecting there to be a lot of bloodshed. Surely there would be a chance of someone ending up dead as well. Hopefully not Azrai, otherwise David was going to find himself in a world of hurt.<br/><br/>He was sure he didnâ€™t need to tell the man twice.<br/><br/>When he got outside, he looked to his little gang, â€œWe should take the car. Weâ€™ll park is somewhere in the middle, close by, and then spread out from there.â€
