Some were loudmouthed, like the Ginger Cunt who called after him, demanding answers. Caleb felt less confident by the second that these weak mortals would grow to become the riders who would drag the world to its knees. One of the recruits was an older man who looked like he could handle himself in a fight, he almost envied Evonne such a seasoned recruit.<br/><br/>When Evonne nodded her greeting to him, Caleb placed a hand on her shoulder briefly to get her attention.<br/><br/>"Evonne, I'd like to borrow some guns once my new bitch is housebroken. I need to teach her to shoot until she learns to harness her powers." Caleb muttered conspiratorially to the woman with whom he'd shared a bathroom for the past several millenia. "Lots of ammo too, just in case she's as worthless as she looks."<br/><br/>Caleb already had a full day in mind for young Erin, and he didn't have time to stand around and explain himself. Sooner or later, "Because I said so" would have to be a good enough reason for her to do as she was told. The sound of her shoes told him just how far they had to get before she was ready. High, clumpy heels that she'd be useless in and tight jeans. She'd need to change which would put them farther behind schedule.<br/><br/>Just as he was turning toward the staircase, to move down to the gym, Erin stepped in front of Caleb and halted his progress. He sighed as she demanded this and that, eventually recalling him from the club. There was no time for her slow wits to piece things together. He was about to admit to abducting her when she seemed to break with reason. She took a sloppy, off balance swing at him.<br/><br/>Caleb rolled his eyes, leaning away from her fist and catching her wrist in front of his chest. Strong fingers took hold of her pinky finger, he bent it over itself in a practiced squeeze and tried to touch her fingernail to her knuckle, nearly snapping the slender bone and causing her agony. He twisted her arm next, turning her wrist over and locking her shoulder as he stepped one foot behind her and pushed her easily onto her back with her straightened arm. Once she landed hard on her back, Caleb bent his knee into her elbow, adding a new level to her agony and very nearly snapping her arm in half.<br/><br/>"Despite your sarcasm, I took no pleasure in that." Caleb said as dryly as if he were commenting on the weather, not caring how much Erin heard over her own screams. "Simply put, you are here because it is the will of God. If it were my decision, I'd break your arm in eight places and toss you out with the trash. As a servant of God and His Kingdom, however, I'm bound to prepare you for the mantle you must bear. Now, get up and follow me. Your question privileges have been revoked. You'll need to change your clothes. Now follow me."<br/><br/>Once Erin seemed to have calmed herself, Caleb stood up again, taking the pressure off of her elbow. He maintained the agonizing grip on her pinky while he slid the twin ring that matched his own onto her middle finger of the hand she'd swung at him with. Once the ring was placed securely on her finger, he sighed and released her completely. He stepped over her body to head down to the gym, hoping that they had a pair of tennis shoes in Erin's size.
