				Location:&nbsp; Miami, Florida, Port area<br>Time:&nbsp; Present day, approximately 10 PM<br><br>A lone man ran from building to building, keeping to the shadows.&nbsp; From time to time, he'd stop, and look around, perhaps focusing on one direction or another.&nbsp; Then, he'd run again, heading for a large building surrounded by shipping containers, cranes, and lifts.&nbsp; At one point, he had to cross a brightly lit area, and the man could be seen clearly.&nbsp; He was tall, and well built, with red hair and pale skin.<br><br>(http://www.hypnopics-collective.net/smf_forum/gallery/11/227-071214222123.jpeg)<br><br>Behind him, footsteps followed, and voices called to one another, but for now both were distant, though it was clear that the sounds came from those chasing the red-haired man.&nbsp; <br><br>Finally, he reached his goal--a central building with dispatching and control room spaces in it that kept track of the cranes and other equipment in the port.&nbsp; The man slipped inside, and into a storage area through a hallway on the first floor.&nbsp; &nbsp;He locked the door behind himself, then turned around, leaning back against the wall, breathing heavily from his effort to escape his pursuers.<br><br>In his mind, he went back twelve hours--back to when his world still made sense.&nbsp; <br><br>At that point, he'd been involved with Karen Gunn, a writer and lecturer on motivational issues.&nbsp; He'd realized that his feelings for her were overpowering the mission he'd taken from his leader...<br><br>His mission had been to use his skills and abilities and powers to turn her to become a follower of his leader.&nbsp; But he'd compromised his mission, revealing his true nature to Karen, and that he was in love with her, and she'd run from him.&nbsp; And in doing so, she'd run into the arms of the ones his leader had set to follow him.&nbsp; Their true nature was demonic and they'd torn her apart, killing her.&nbsp; Then, they followed him for most of the day, seeking to relieve him of his existence just like they had done with Karen.&nbsp; And they'd chased him to this place, his last hideout.<br><br>For a moment, he let his magic slip, allowing his own true nature to show, his appearance changing.&nbsp; He could see himself in a mirror on a wall, and suddenly, he was a vaguely tigerish being, with a human body.<br><br>(http://www.seresmitologicos.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/rakshasa_select.jpg)<br><br>After a few seconds, he returned to his human appearance, keeping his true appearance hidden.&nbsp; He looked up, pausing for a moment, seeming to reach out with unseen powers.&nbsp; <strong>"Nearly here..."</strong> he said quietly to himself.<br><br>Out of options, out of time, he pulled out a ring--a rather large one, with a large topaz in the setting.&nbsp; He slipped it on, then rubbed the gem.&nbsp; <strong>"I summon forth the nearest djinn... I beseech thee to grant me one wish this day...&nbsp; Come to me, oh djinn..."</strong>&nbsp; If the ring worked, it would draw a djinn to him, pulling the magical being across the intervening distance, causing the djinn to grant him one wish.&nbsp; Then, the djinn could return to wherever it had come from.<br><br>Distantly, he could hear voices outside--harsh, grating voices, deep and gruff.&nbsp; His enemies were nearly upon him.&nbsp; <strong>"Come on..."</strong> he pleaded for a djinn to show, but would the ring actually work?

				<div class="floatleft">(http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h80/Longhorngal710/Dalileh2_zps4e3a7b29.jpg)</div>"I am glad we could do this. It certainly has been way too long." The young woman mentioned to the older man across from her. She lifted her glass of red wine to his, lightly clinking the delicate glass together. <br><br>The man across from her nodded his head in agreement. "Yes, it has been a long time sister." He simply mentioned before taking a sip of his wine.<br><br>Dalileh Jasmine Tavana smiled before taking a sip of her wine as well. This would be a rather nice night, even if it did start rather late. Her brother's flight had been rather delayed, so dinner was postponed until now. She sat down her wine glass before she went to speak. "So how is..." She started. However, it would be cut short as she suddenly disappeared without a trace. She just simply vanished. <br><br>Dalileh was roughly dropped into what seemed like warehouse, almost falling over in the heels she was wearing. She tugged down the black dress she was wearing, making sure that she wasn't exposing anything with the tumble she almost took. Her blue eyes looked around, falling onto the tall redhead in front of her. "Who are you?" She asked him. But her eyes soon fell onto the ring he was wearing, knowing why she was there. Pinching the bridge of her nose, she let out a sigh. "Oh you have got to be kidding me. Why me and not him!?" She questioned to herself before opening her eyes back to the man. Why was she placed here instead of her brother?<br><br>No, she didn't wear the cute little outfit. She didn't live in a lamp and have a "master" like in I Dream of Jeannie. She didn't grant three wishes. No, she wasn't <em>that</em> type of genie. Even though the mainstream media would like to portray her as that. Instead she was just a normal woman who has powers to grant wishes. In fact, she rarely ever told anyone that she was a genie. People would never leave her alone, asking for wishes. <br><br>"Alright, so what is your wish?" She asked, looking around at the place. It was a rather sketchy place and she had a feeling that this guy was rather sketchy as well. He looked to be normal but she knew he must have some sort of powers. A normal person wouldn't know about the ring and its powers. Or the command that needed to be said. So how he got the ring would also be interesting to hear...

				The redhead's eyes widened, and he said softly, <strong>"It worked!'</strong>&nbsp; Additionally, he thought to himself, <em>And the djinn is very attractive, seemingly from a land close to the land of my birth!</em>&nbsp; Then, he gathered himself and took a breath.&nbsp; <strong>"Greetings.&nbsp; My name is Rajiv.&nbsp; I am in desperate need of your aid, my dear.&nbsp; Ah, and what is your name, miss?"</strong>&nbsp; <br><br>He held up a hand as if to ask her to listen.&nbsp; Outside, those voices, gruff and angry, grew closer.&nbsp; He shivered involuntarily, and it was clear that whatever was happening, he was scared.&nbsp; There was a veneer of politeness over it, but under that, it was fear, pure and simple.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br><strong>"The speakers are my pursuers.&nbsp; They wish to take my life."</strong>&nbsp; He sighed softly.&nbsp; <strong>"You asked about my wish.&nbsp; Here it is:&nbsp; I wish for you to take me someplace that my pursuit cannot follow--someplace safe, someplace on this planet, not too distant from here, someplace I may leave under my own power when I wish."</strong>&nbsp; <br><br>He folded his hands.&nbsp; <strong>"Such is my wish.&nbsp; Please grant it?"</strong>

				Well of course it worked. She was here right? As he mentioned his name, her eyebrows furrowed. His name was middle eastern but his looks screamed Ireland or such. Oh well, she wasn't there to judge. She was there for a wish. "Dalileh." She mentioned to him. <br><br>Dalileh thought he was rather rude to hold up a hand, as if silencing her. But as she listened, she could hear the voices growing louder. At this point, she understood that he was out running from some people. Who? She was unsure about that but it was obvious that they were bad as he shuddered. <br><br>Someplace safe. Some place...where would that be? Sometimes she had control over her powers and other times they just seemed to have a mind of their own. She was only 67, not yet a master of her powers. She simply nodded her head, thinking of a nice secluded place. She just hoped that he didn't expect her to say something cheesy or do a dance. <br><br>Dalileh simple moved her hand and they were instantly transported to an old lighthouse. The sounds of the waves crashing into the surf could be heard, almost in a lulling pitch. This lighthouse was still in use, the light continually spinning around. She rubbed her arms at the chill ocean air, then looking over to him. He wish was granted. She figured they were somewhere along the east coast. Since it was almost pitch black, she was unsure of where they ended up. "Here you are. May I ask where you got that ring to begin with?" She asked him, barely able to make out his features in the lighting.

				The moment the duo was transported, the man sighed in relief.&nbsp; <strong>"Thank you, Dalileh.&nbsp; I am most appreciative for the use of your power, and I apologize for pulling you away from whatever it was you were doing.&nbsp; As you can probably tell, I was in mortal danger."</strong>&nbsp; He moved across the walkway they were on, finding a door, which he opened.&nbsp; A dim light shined in the room that was revealed by the open door, and the male looked inside, then offered her his hand, <strong>"No one is inside.&nbsp; The place seems automated.&nbsp; Please, let us go in so you can warm up..."</strong><br><br>Once they were inside, he closed the door, then turned back to Dalileh.&nbsp; <strong>"Well, to answer your question, I took the ring from the same person who sent those demons after me.&nbsp; My former employer is a being of great power, both mundane and... otherworldly, shall we say?&nbsp; He is the one who wishes me destroyed.&nbsp; I failed at the mission he sent me on and left his service in a sort of... abrupt way.&nbsp; I picked up the ring on the way out, essentially."</strong>&nbsp; He shrugged.&nbsp; <strong>"What -did- I take you away from, by the way?&nbsp; Something formal?"</strong>&nbsp; He gestured at her clothing.<br><br>A few moments of searching allowed Rajiv to find the spiral stair up and down.&nbsp; He nodded at the stairs and said, <strong>"The light machinery seems to be upstairs, but perhaps there is somewhere that we can sit and talk downstairs, if you would lend me a bit more of your time...&nbsp; But... how will you return to your place of origin tonight?"</strong>

				Mortal danger. Yes, that much was up for debate but she was curious as to the reason why she was transported there rather than her brother. Weren't they both the closest genie to him? Unless she was "technically" closer by a few inches or so. Her blue eyes looked to the door as he mentioned about going inside. The night air was rather chilly and her bare arms and legs were taking the brunt of the weather. She nodded her head, avoiding his hand as she stepped into the lighthouse. It wasn't that she was being rude, she just didn't know him at all. <br><br>Why she wasn't already transported back was beyond her. Usually, the moment the wish was done, the genie was sent back. But things were different this time. And this man finally explained what the deal was. "I see..." She mentioned, getting the hint. He was into something that was either illegal or sort of illegal. Certainly not a man she intended to be in business with. But she was not one to pick and chose who she wanted to grant wishes to with that ring. Any genie was obliged to grant the wish. Sometimes she really wished that ring never existed. It had changed hands of a lot of very bad men. As the conversation turned to her, Dalileh looked to him. "I was in the middle of a late dinner. The thing I cannot understand is how we both didn't end up here..." She mentioned, blinking a few times. "I was having dinner with my brother." She explained, figuring he would connect the last dot. <br><br>Her eyes fell upon the staircase and she thought he was joking. He wanted her to walk up the stairs in heels? Uh, no. That was not going to happen. "Is there something specific you wanted to talk to me about? As for how I will get home, that shouldn't be a problem. I would say it would be harder for you to find your way back to Miami." She mentioned, pushing some of her pin straight black locks back.

				The redhaired man gave her a bit of a shrug.&nbsp; <strong>"Again, I apologize for pulling you away from this dinner you were having...with your brother, you said?"</strong><br><br>He looked around a bit, then down at the ring.&nbsp; <strong>"I don't know why the magic should favor you..."</strong>&nbsp; He smiled a bit and turned his hand so the ring faced her.&nbsp; <strong>"The maker of the ring seems to have had a preference.""</strong>&nbsp; He used his other hand to point at a set of symbols that surrounded the topaz.&nbsp; <strong>"That's a symbol for females mixed in with the other ones, isn't it?&nbsp; It would appear that it not only looks for the closest djinn--but also the closest female one."</strong>&nbsp; <br><br>The symbol looked like this:&nbsp; (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/66/Venus_symbol.svg/100px-Venus_symbol.svg.png)&nbsp; But looking at the symbol might mean that she also looked at the topaz.&nbsp; And now, the topaz had a small image of Dalileh in it.&nbsp; Raj blinked and lowered his hand <strong>"The ring seems to have settled on you now that you've been summoned once by it."</strong><br><br>He looked around, then gestured at a door.&nbsp; <strong>"I can find a way from here to where I need to go next.&nbsp; And that place is not in Miami.&nbsp; Please, go about whatever you were doing."</strong>&nbsp; He gave her a smile and added, <strong>"I will try not to take you away from your life again, but I can make no guarantees."</strong>&nbsp; After thinking a moment, he added, <strong>"Is there a time that would be particularly problematic for you--a time I should not summon you, or at least try to avoid?"</strong>

				Dalileh gave a simple nod of her head to the mention of her brother. "Yes, my brother. He lives in Tel Aviv currently so his visits are often rare due to his job." She mentioned, her eyes casting down to the ring. <br><br>As the man turned over the ring, it was obvious why she was chosen instead of her brother. It seemed as though the ring would only summon a female djinn, the closest one as well. There was only a handful of rings like these, some having preferences for males or no preference at all. "Well, that would certainly explain why I was taken over my brother." She added before then glancing back to his face. <br><br>But her eyes once again fell upon the ring as her picture appeared int he ring. Well shit. That certainly meant that the ring would only summon her from now on. Well that was just great. Who knew the trouble this man would be getting into and how many times she would have to be summoned. Sometimes, being a genie was a really big pain in the ass. "I can see that now." She added. <br><br>Dalileh straightened back up, looking to the redhead before her. "I am an elementary school teacher so during the week, it would not be the best for you to take me away from my class. But then again, I know the ring does have the power of connecting with the user and bringing the genie when simply thought about. It is just one of the flaws in such a ring. Why they exist is beyond me but before I leave, is there anything else you need?" She asked. She would rather provide him with anything he needed than be brought back an hour later or so.

				Nodding, he said quietly, <strong>"I will try not to call on you during the times you will be in school, and I will try to restrain it from bringing you accidentally."</strong>&nbsp; He then fell silent for a long moment, seeming to think about something.<br><br>Finally, he spoke again.&nbsp; His tone was almost apologetic.&nbsp; <strong>"You have been understanding and kind.&nbsp; I owe you the truth of the situation.&nbsp; I am not a human, as you might have discerned."</strong>&nbsp; He seemed to concentrate for a moment, then said, <strong>"Please do not be alarmed by what you will be seeing.&nbsp; No harm will come to you."</strong><br><br>And with that, his form seemed to shift and flow, though it kept its general human shape.&nbsp; After a moment, he was in his Rakshasa form--a&nbsp; humanoid form, with a tiger head on top of his neck.&nbsp; He was covered in light fur, in a pattern mimicking a tiger.&nbsp; But his hands seemed reversed, with palms out when his hands fell naturally at his sides.&nbsp; <br><br>He spoke again, his voice deep and rich.&nbsp; <strong>"As you can see, I am a Rakshasa."</strong>&nbsp; He watched for her reaction to this revelation.

				Dalileh furrowed her eyebrows as he spoke about the truth. What truth? Was he going to somehow say that he was a demon or the likes? As he mentioned being not human, she nodded her head. That much she knew. The ring that he held was generally only known by creatures like herself or something long those lines. Mere mortals rarely learned of such things unless they knew someone who was other worldly. <br><br>Her blue eyes watched as he changed forms easily, revealing his true form to her. She was not alarm as she had figured something like this. All she could figure is why his human form seemed to deviate so much from other Rakshasa's she had known. "I knew you were not simply a mortal human. That much I inferred from the fact that you were able to summon me. But I don't understand why you think I would be worried. Even though I am young for a genie, I have seen my fair share of things." She explained to him, her eyes wandering over his frame. "As well, I know you will not hurt me given the fact that you may need me in the future." She warned him, pushing her locks behind her back once again. <br><br>Her demeanor stayed calm throughout oddly enough. Perhaps it was the fact that she really just wanted to get out of there. She really did not want to stay longer than she needed to be. She mainly just hated that she would become a slave to that ring and he could summon her any time he wished. Maybe she could take the ring from him at one point...

				Several days passed.&nbsp; One maintenance guy showed up during that time, checking the electronics and the AC system, making sure the light still worked, and generally checking the operations of the lighthouse.&nbsp; Rajiv had detected his approach, and (in human form) made himself scarce for a couple of hours, walking down the beach.&nbsp; He'd previously found a small restaurant about two blocks away, getting some seafood there one day, and ordering some surprisingly good lasagne another day.&nbsp; (While the rumors of Rakshasa eating human flesh was true, in a general sense, many modern Raks didn't touch the stuff--better tasting food was available, and androphagy was...&nbsp; well...&nbsp; tasteless, no pun intended.)&nbsp; Now, he headed to the restaurant, seeking to try some other dish at the place.<br><br>Several young humans were on the beach, playing volleyball, and Rajiv watched them for a bit.&nbsp; He was normally pretty gregarious, enjoying the company of humans, especially females.&nbsp; And right now, he was missing one specific female--a female that he would never see again.&nbsp; He headed down the beach, trying to take his mind off the dark thoughts that lurked there.<br><br>When he got to the restaurant, he ordered a seafood dinner and a chicken broccoli cheese dish, and also bought a bottle of wine (getting some utensils, paper plates, and plastic cups, and paying for it all with the cash card that he'd gotten a few months ago that was pretty much untraceable).&nbsp; He took the food back to the lighthouse, noting that the maintenance man was gone.&nbsp; He let himself back in with a simple "knock" spell, and then got out the emergency blanket (he'd found it in an emergency locker) that he'd been using to sleep on, shaking it out and then laying it out like a picnic blanket on the concrete floor of the lighthouse's first floor.&nbsp; <br><br>Outside, the sun was going down, checking the box on not summoning the djinn during the day, and he used another minor magic spell to generate some soft light in the room, turning off the overhead light.&nbsp; He spread out the food, poured the wine, took a breath, and...<br><br>He rubbed the gem.&nbsp; <strong>"I summon forth the nearest djinn... I beseech thee to grant me one wish this day...&nbsp; Come to me, oh djinn..."</strong>

				Dalileh was soon returned to the dinner with her brother, explaining what had happened. They had a few eye rolls over it before continuing with the dinner. And soon, Rajiv was just a distant memory. She had long forgotten about the encounter by the time Monday rolled around and she went back to teaching. It was one of her passions, teaching children. She enjoyed it very much and wouldn't trade it for the world. <br><br>She had ended her day, collecting some papers that she needed to grade before heading back home. Dalileh wore a black pencil skirt, hitting her just a couple inches above her knee. On top she had a simple white tank top, tucked into the skirt with a lavender cardigan covering and buttoned up. The outfit fit her body well, hugging to her slim form. She finished it off with a pair of black flats, keeping her at her small stature. <br><br>Her drive was short, only about twenty minutes before she was in the door and setting her things down. But it wasn't long before she had set her things down that she was summoned again. And within a second, she was placed back into the lighthouse. Her blue eyes narrowed, adjusting to the dim light and looking around to see Rajiv holding the ring once again. What did he want this time? "Yes Rajiv?" She asked, sweeping her long locks up into a bun before securing it with the hair band on her wrist. Her eyes fell to the spread along the floor, noticing the wine and food laid out. Was he...no. He couldn't be. Well maybe... <br><br>Her eyes looked back to him as she spoke again. "Did you need something?" She questioned in a gentle tone. At least he had waited until she ended her day. As well, till she was home. It would have been terrible if she had been driving...&nbsp; <br><br>

				The red-haired man (he was still using his human appearance) smiled at Dalileh, and asked, <strong>"I hope I have not taken you from something important?&nbsp; I wanted to make amends for summoning you out of the blue the other day, and I thought that an offer of dinner would help do that.&nbsp; As of this moment I have no specific wish, though."</strong>&nbsp; He gestured at the food.&nbsp; <strong>"I'd like you to stay, but if you do not want to, then I will not hold you here."</strong><br><br>He held up the ring.&nbsp; <strong>"Now that it seems locked to you, I have a bit of a sense of your activities--I knew you were somewhere you felt relaxed, not driving, not with others."</strong>&nbsp; He chuckled softly, and added, <strong>"It has interesting magic on it, this ring..."</strong>&nbsp; He held it up and showed it to her, and she might notice that the image of her body inside the gem seemed just a bit clearer than the last time she had seen it.<br><br>

				It was rather sweet that he wanted to "apologize" in a sense for summoning her. Most people wouldn't have even thought to do that, only use her for endless wishes. There was a gentle smile on her face, rubbing her neck a little bit. "That is very sweet of you. You didn't have to do all of this." She replied, taking a few steps closer when he mentioned the ring. She looked to it to see that her image was becoming clearer in the gem. "Good thing it let you know I was driving. I had just gotten home right before you summoned me." She added.<br><br>She moved over towards the blanket, slowly going to take a seat. It was just dinner right? It was not like he was going to put the moves on her. Well if he did, she would stop it. Dalileh just wasn't ready to date yet. Being immortal, she wanted to make sure that the man she ended up with was the right one. As well, her job took up most of her time for the moment being.

				Rajiv gave her a slight shrug.&nbsp; <strong>"You saved me--I think I am indebted to you for that.&nbsp; You may have to serve the owner of this..."</strong>&nbsp; He held up the ring as he spoke.&nbsp; <strong>"...but that doesn't mean I can't be grateful!"</strong><br><br>He motioned towards the food.&nbsp; <strong>"It's from a place down the street from my temporary home--I hope you like seafood?&nbsp; Or this one is a broccoli chicken casserole."</strong>&nbsp; He gestured to both plates of food in turn.&nbsp; <br><br>He gave her her choice of the food, then took the other one, making sure that she had something to drink and also eating utensils.&nbsp; He'd wait for her to start eating, then take a bite of his own food.&nbsp; <strong>"So, what do you teach--what grade and what subject, I mean?"</strong>&nbsp; He took a quick drink of his wine, then added, <strong>"It's interesting that you would take an occupation like that--teaching the children of humans.&nbsp; Haven't many of your kind have been mistreated by mundane humans, and gotten even worse treatment from mages and the like?&nbsp; That is what I have been taught about your people."</strong>

				Dalileh would have guessed that the person who came in possession of this ring would abuse the power of it. They would just see her as someone to grant unlimited wishes. But this man was appreciative. A criminal probably...but appreciative. She settled onto the blanket, adjusting her legs so that he wasn't looking up her skirt. It was at this time that she honestly wished she was wearing something else. Dalileh shifted again before waving her hand and transforming the black pencil skirt into a pair of black yoga pants. "I hope you do not mind, it is not easy to sit on the floor in a skirt." She explained, looking to the choices of food. <br><br>There was a soft smile as she looked up to him. "I love seafood. I mean back home, I ate a lot of chicken but we had fish and seafood on special occasions." She mentioned as she grabbed the seafood. She took a bite, then looking back up to him when he asked about teaching. Dalileh finished her bite before speaking. "I teach second grade at a small academy in the suburbs of Miami." She started off before taking a drink and looking back to him. "I really do enjoy children. I am not sure if I will ever have children or at least it will be a long time before I do. So teaching gives me a chance to interact with kids. And while we have, there is a mix of humans and all other kinds. But things are rather different now. Most people do not even know I am a djinn." She explained. "So what did you do? I know you worked for someone rather evil from the sound of it..." She probed a bit. <br>

				The female's "host" took the other plate of food.&nbsp; <strong>"Change your clothing to whatever you wish!"</strong>&nbsp; He laughed a bit, and imagined her simply removing them, which brought a little smile to his face.&nbsp; A moment later, though, he was back to normal.&nbsp; <strong>"True, technology has replaced magic, and is more widespread than magic ever was, I think.&nbsp; But still, it's good of you to be so willing to forgive and forget--or perhaps to forgive but remember?"</strong><br><br>A moment later, he added, <strong>"I'm glad you are the djinn responding to the call, though.&nbsp; Better you than some angry, elderly... "</strong>&nbsp; He trailed off, covering his eyes with a hand, then said, <strong>"Well, anyway, I'm glad it was you."</strong><br><br>He ate a bit of his food, then responded to her question with another question.&nbsp; <strong>"Ever heard of a kind of being called a Rakshasa?"</strong>

				Magic was not something that she used on a daily basis to be honest. Dalileh never wanted to fully rely on her powers if somehow they ever disappeared. As well, not using her powers meant that she blended in with humans much easier. She gave a small shrug of her shoulders at the mention of forgiving them. "I myself haven't been treated poorly by humans. However, my relatives have. I am not as old as other djinn's and perhaps that is why it does not bother me much. The parents and children that are not human are generally more understanding. However, you are the first to have a ring that connected to me." She explained, taking another bite of her food. She had never been pulled out of class before by another ring or anything else like that. Thankfully the "lamps" that some djinn preferred to leave in were in safe keeping. Unless she was robbed, no one would get a hold of that. <br><br>There was a gentle smile on her face as he was thankful she showed up. Yes, her brother might not have been as...welcoming to say the least. Having powers were fantastic, but catering to others was another story. <br><br>Dalileh nodded her head when he asked a question. "Yes, you showed me when we first met as well. But I am not sure what that has to do with your employer being evil however..." Her voice trailed a bit before she took another bite of her food.

				The disguised Rakshasa nodded and chuckled a bit.&nbsp; <strong>"I'm sorry--what I meant was to ask you how much you knew about my kind."</strong><br><br>He ate a bite of food and took a drink, then said, <strong>"You see, I work for a distant relative--I call him an uncle, but he's really more like a cousin, several times removed."</strong>&nbsp; He watched her for a moment, then added, <strong>"And I didn't want to do what I was supposed to do to someone.&nbsp; So he had that person killed, and set his hunters on me."</strong><br><br>He had heard what she had said before, and asked a couple of questions.&nbsp; <strong>"How long have you been in this area?&nbsp; Were you born here, or elsewhere?"</strong>
