Post Nightstalkers forming

Rita had been having a very long week. Things hadn't improved when a vampire she had been tracking had gotten away. She had tried every trick she had learned only to come up short. It left her frequently feeling frustrated since she really wanted that vampire taken out. He was a nasty piece of work.

Finally she gave up because she knew she couldn't find him on her own. So that was why she decided she'd call Tyler since he was an experienced vampire hunter. So she grabbed her cell phone out of her jacket and decided to give Tyler a call. Maybe he had an idea when it came to tracking down a vampire in a city as big as Seattle when it seemed like the creature had gone to ground.

	"Okay. So. I had been tracking this nasty piece of work as far as vampires go.... He gave me the slip. Can't find him." Now here's the extra embarrassing part. "He stole my ride." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Okay Tyler, don't laugh. "Do you want my help looking for them?" He said "want", not "need". He had no desire to embarrass her further. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	No laughing at the person whose ride got jacked please. "Yeah. I need to find them before someone gets hurt.... also need my ride back. He has my spare key. Don't know how he managed that one." She sounds a little more than irritated. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't worry, we'll take care of this. Where are you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-02-04 03:21 am UTC (link)
	"Occidental park. Just along the west side," she says quickly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"On my way." Several rooftop leaps and subtle gliding later, Tyler reaches the park. He recognizes Rita's telltale red hair and waves to her. "So what can you tell me about this vampire?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-02-04 03:28 am UTC (link)
	She had perked up right away. It was a good thing to now have back up. "Six foot-something, dirty fighter, he used some kind of freaky mind trick on some people to get them to hold me off earlier." She looks pretty annoyed. "He's not that great a fighter that I noticed... also vaguely Polish accent? I think?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Polish? Wait..bald guy, looks like somebody gave him a nasty scar over the right eye?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-02-04 03:33 am UTC (link)
	"Yes!" Wait. He knows him? Rita glances up at him. "Any idea how to find him?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Name's Branimer Kushner, something of a vampire gangster from a coven over in East Europe. Never met him myself, but he's got a mile-long rep for bastardry. " He pauses. "Most major human cities have underground clubs where vampires can congregate relatively secretly. My guess is he'd go to a place that'd be friendly to his clan. Considering he's a foreign element here.." Tyler pulls out a small map of Seattle. "I'd say..here." He circles the location of a nightclub. "This one is relatively well known in certain circles to cater to vampires from that region of Europe."

	She makes a face. "Would we even be able to get in? I mean I don't know about you but I could possibly talk my way into some clubs..." She looks both thoughtful and worried. "We need to be able to draw him out too I guess." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2012-02-04 03:54 am UTC (link)
	"It'd be best we didn't go in, or we'd end up pissing off every bloodsucker in the place. So yeah, getting him out is key." He thinks. "Start with finding your bike?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-02-04 03:57 am UTC (link)
	She makes a noise indicating she agrees. "I'd rather not go in there without more backup. Angry vampires are dangerous." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2012-02-04 04:00 am UTC (link)
	"I agree. What was your impression of the vampire intellectually? Did he seem smart or a bit of a dumbass?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-02-04 04:06 am UTC (link)
	She bites her lower lip thoughtfully. "He was smart. Very smart." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2012-02-04 04:10 am UTC (link)
	"Damn, then that means he wasn't likely to drive the bike straight to the club." He looks over to her. "We need to go to a chop shop." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-02-04 04:12 am UTC (link)
	Chop shop? The look on her face says it all. She is Not Happy. "Let's go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2012-02-04 04:15 am UTC (link)
	Fortunately Tyler had been in town long enough to familiarize himself a little with the baseline criminal elemental. It was the closest chop shop from the park and Tyler wraps once on the door. "We're closed!" "We're looking to make a "special" purchase." A pause. "Said we're closed, get lost!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-02-04 04:20 am UTC (link)
	"Aw, but we really need to make this purchase," Rita says loud enough to be heard by the man inside. "It's a big deal." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2012-02-04 04:23 am UTC (link)
	There's a longer pause. "How big a deal, sweetheart?" Tyler bares his teeth, about to tell the man off. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-02-04 04:26 am UTC (link)
	Rita just shoots him a look. She'll handle this. "Mmm. I don't know. I really need to... See the goods first. But I'm sure we'll have fun negotiating." Oh yes, she just did that. It makes her feel bad but they need to get inside. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2012-02-04 04:32 am UTC (link)
	Another pause, but a short one as they heard the door being unlocked. A burly man with a bit of a paunch answered the door. "She can come in. We ain't too sure about you." "Excuse me?" Tyler said, starting to get upset. He was not leaving Rita with these..people. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-02-04 04:43 am UTC (link)
	"Hey." Rita places her hand on his arm. It was obvious to her that Tyler didn't like the idea of leaving her alone with men who probably wanted to take advantage of her. Not that she'd let them. "It'll be okay." She gives the man a look. "He's with me. We're here for business." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2012-02-04 04:48 am UTC (link)
	Tyler calms when she touches his arm. The guy eyes Tyler one more time before giving a curt nod. "Okay, but no funny business. We got people watching you in here." He stands aside, allowing the two to enter. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-02-04 04:53 am UTC (link)
	"Don' worry. We'll keep our hands to ourselves," Rita informs the man with a smile. She can't believe this is happening but hey at least they're getting in. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
