"If he is, I'd suggest you calm down, officer. Frazzled nerves and anxiety don't bode well on one's judgement. Do you have a firearm? Draw it." Yes, Olive was an intellect. But when worst came to worst, she knew how to handle herself in combat. That is today she wasn't inhumanly strong or fast, but years of reading books--those regarding fighting included--stuck in her mind. And if Athena wasn't prepared to use force, then Olive was.<br/><br/>As they followed the bloody path, Olive released a sharp exhale. Purple. She was seeing purple again. Declan must've been hurt. How badly were his wounds, though?<br/><br/>"He'd wandered this way," she said softly, grabbing onto Athena's arm. "Be cautious. Please."<br/><br/>Now that she was getting involved, if Athena or Declan died in her care while they pursued a Lurker, that would not bode well for Olive in heaven.<br/><br/>---------<br/><br/>The pup's name was Zacharias. Mid-twenties, male (obviously), unhappy family life at home, blah blah blah.... An easy catch.<br/><br/>All it would take was some charm, a smile...force if it came to it... But overall this should be easy. Easier than that Billis case. Speaking of which, he'd have to check on the boy's body later to make sure the transformation was well under way.<br/><br/>Winding his way to the exit, Nathaniel bumped into a bubbly girl with pink bear ears, agitated until he realized how intoxicated she was.<br/><br/>"S-sorry man, I toootally didn't see you there!" She giggled, snorting and batting those false eyelashes in his direction.<br/><br/>Nathaniel smiled politely, still trying to guide his way out the club. "It's fine. I wasn't looking. If you'll allow me to pass, Miss..."<br/><br/>"Liat! I'm Liat. Didn't catch your name, handsome," she purred, draping slim, pale arms around his neck.<br/><br/>Now more than irritated at this girl's obnoxious behavior, Nathaniel realized that he wasn't leaving the club anytime soon. Monster as he was, he couldn't just kill the girl or tell her to bugger off. That wasn't professional at all! He was a murderer, not discourteous!
