"Good evening, gentlemen, what is it I can help you with? Is everything alright?" Brie had decided to go meet the men who were looking for her, concerned that it was perhaps an emergency. She had not even thought of there being any ill intentions. That was until Thyme's voice called out and her eyes looked up to see him with his gun drawn.<br/><br/>She took a step back cautiously, ready to bolt at a moment's notice should Thyme signal to her. "Get out. If I see you anywhere near here again, I'll grind you and feed you to your families," Thyme growled out, causing shivers to go down Brie's spine. She rarely got to see him so aggressive, as he liked to keep that part of him separate.<br/><br/>One of the men began to reach into his coat and Brie's fist clenched in her pocket, but it seemed one of the men were intelligent. "Don't. You know who he is. We best go back and tell Alpha we couldn't get 'er," the guy advised, Thyme nodded in agreement and stepped out of the way so the men could see themselves out. "Couldn't get her???" Brie questioned, realizing Thyme had just saved her ass from being kidnapped.<br/><br/>Soon he was in front of the silver haired woman, "Well, I'm glad I got here when I did, love." Brie gave a sigh as she rubbed her forehead, "Just what is going on this time, Thyme?" He didn't flinch at all at her tone, "We need to move the girl now. The Wolves are trying to start another war." Brie gave yet another sigh, nodding, "Alright..."<br/><br/>It didn't take her too much time to arrange everything and soon she was back with Thyme, "They never gave information on Paetra's father," she stated as she watched the girl be loaded into a transportation ambulance. "Oh, right. Brie. The girl's dad is an else," Thyme replied--though Brie must have had an interesting expression on her face. Elves, after all, had been gone for centuries. "Yes, really. I don't know the details but he's got the ears, and according to our mole in MCPD his DNA didn't match any known Non Race. Ghost figured it out, wanted me to tell you. Don't fuckin' know why," Thymes irritation for the evening was very obvious, if his string of curses and tone were any indication. "Why didn't he just call me?" Brie asked as she tugged her lab coat a little closer to herself. "He said he was gonna call you. Oh, and his Hunt started. I'm having the team keep him close this time. Don't want him to get shanked because he had to make a ten-mile trip after a Hunt."<br/><br/>"Well isn't this just dandy?" Brie muttered. She had a feeling when she had woken up in the morning that the day just wasn't going to be all that great. And now here they were. "I'm glad Ghost has you around...has he...." she paused, debating on whether to bring up Plum or not, but decided she had to ask if he knew anything.<br/><br/>"Did you know that Ghost marked Plum?"<br/><br/><br/>-----<br/><br/>"He was a werewolf," Silas answered with a shrug of his shoulders. His face suddenly lost all expression in realization, "No. He was the White Wolf..." Kallista couldn't help the surprise that crossed her face, "How in the Seven Hells can they let him run anything...?" he asked in disbelief. The slender woman had the same question. "Did he seem normal when you met him??" she asked. "I suppose he was lucid enough when I met him, but now I think on it, he may have been barely holding it together...I hope they can control him."<br/><br/>Kallista brought a hand to her mouth, nibbling the corner of her thumbnail. "Surely he has to have some semblance of control if he has such a thriving organization, yes?" Kallista reasoned, she then looked around, noticing that they were pretty much alone. Funny, hadn't someone escorted Silas around?<br/><br/>----<br/><br/>Cherry watched as Mallow downed his drink in one and then proceeded to do the same to her. So it was a no contact hideout, huh? She figured as much. Mallow went on about entertainment, but Cherry was in her own mind as she tried to squish that unease she always got when she knew Raz was dealing with shitheads.<br/><br/>"So tell me something, Cherry..." The red-eyed woman looked up, her eyes focusing on Mallows, "Shoot," she replied as she poured another glass. "Why continue to play this game with Kai? I'm sure the elemental already laid into you about it, but it would be all-too-easy for him to kill you." There was that question again. Why was she fuckin' around with Kai? There were a lot of reasons, but none of them were sane and none of them were fit for sharing. "Because he hasn't killed me and likely won't," she replied finally with a shrug. "I know you don't think he will, but Kaienne has never been the most stable individual. You know what his parents did to him. A man like that can take a lot in the way of pressure...but everyone breaks eventually," Mallow was starting to sound a lot like Raz and Cherry's mood dropped some.<br/><br/>The silence must have been too much for Mallow, because he suddenly threw questions at her, "Hungry? Thirsty? Whatever you vampires call it?" She shook her head in the negative, "No...Ate earlier..." Silence filled the air again and this time it was Cherry who broke it.<br/><br/>"I want...or wanted...Kai to kill me. He almost did...but then he just...left. Didn't finish me off or anything. That wasn't how it was supposed to be. The coven wanted something from me that I couldn't deliver on and I tried to use Kai as a way to get out of it. Instead I only ended up hurting him more than intended and now my Coven is breathing down my back for a job they view as botched. It wasn't even one I wanted."<br/><br/>Cherry wasn't sure why she had just spilled the one thing she had kept to herself since leaving PM. Sure, she didn't go into detail, but it was more than she had ever told Raz. Probably because she knew he would just be angry at her for being so...what did he always call it? Reckless?
