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.

	"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)

	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)

	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)

	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)

	"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)

	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)

	"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)

	living_dhampir 2012-02-04 05:00 am UTC (link)
	Tyler stays close to Rita, keeping an eye on the men inside, about four, no, there are two hiding in the back..not very well mind you, but trying to. "So," the big man began. "What are you in the market for?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-02-04 05:04 am UTC (link)
	"Motorcycle," Rita says without missing a beat. "I love riding 'em. You have anything interesting?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2012-02-04 05:10 am UTC (link)
	The big man's eyebrow rose and he looked at the the two men closest to him. Uh oh, Tyler thought. "Funny you mention that. Guy brought a bike in not too long ago." He seemed to be reaching for something behind him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Really?" She puts on the brightest smile ever.

"Okay this is going to sound bad but.... did a big Polish man bring it in?" She puts on an innocent look. "My ex made off with it the other day.... I didn't want to bother anyone over it because he's.... um. You know. 'Scary'."

Oh she's trying so hard to put on a show. She doesn't want a fight and this might be the best way to avoid it.

	The thugs seemed a little taken aback by Rita's behavior. "Um..well yeah. Guy came in, sold it to us, and then left. So it's yours, huh?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-02-04 04:42 pm UTC (link)
	It's always better to confuse them. "Yeah." She rolls one shoulder. "Can't believe he sold it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2012-02-04 05:27 pm UTC (link)
	Tyler fought a smirk, Rita was playing these guys like a fiddle. "Well..we can't just give it back or we're out some serious money. Do you have anything to trade with?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-02-04 05:48 pm UTC (link)
	That had her pause because she had a small list of assets she had acquired from one of her hunting trips. Things that she didn't need that no longer had an owner because their owner had been a monster. "I have a car I don't really need. It's a Ninety-Nine Lebaron. I'll trade it for my bike," Rita offers. "Good condition." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2012-02-04 05:56 pm UTC (link)
	They talk amongst themselves for a moment. The big man turns back to Rita. "We'll need proof you got it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-02-04 06:50 pm UTC (link)
	And Rita is prepared. "You never know when you need to get rid of something," she explains as she fishes out a packet from her satchel. Pictures and paperwork. "And I have keys." This is possibly one of the more crazy things she has done lately. It's almost hilarious offering a n almost legit car to a chop shop. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2012-02-04 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	Okay, Tyler was a little surprised. He had to admit he thought she was bluffing. He couldn't help but smile a little. She'd handled this real well. The look at the information and paperwork. "Looks good. Where can we pick it up?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-02-04 11:37 pm UTC (link)
	She has plenty of tricks up her sleeves for situations like this. She had been planning on selling that car for research funds. Ah well she needed her bike. She gives them the address as she pulls they key off her set. "Should be a fair trade. The car is in good working order." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2012-02-05 12:08 am UTC (link)
	The men seemed to discuss things for a moment before parting. "Looks like we got a deal, Miss. Your bike's in the back. You can take it out the rear entrance. Just be lowkey, please." Tyler didn't say a word, he was afraid to jinx their luck. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-02-05 12:10 am UTC (link)
	"Thanks," she looks very happy about this and hands the key to the car over. Then motions to Tyler to follow. "Good doing business with you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2012-02-05 12:14 am UTC (link)
	Tyler follows beside her, he wasn't going to feel completely relaxed until they got out. "Likewise, Miss. Go give your ex a kick in the nuts." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-02-05 12:15 am UTC (link)
	"Well I do< have my stomping boots on," and she smirks as she says that. She plans on setting that vampire on fire. He will pay for taking her baby from her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2012-02-05 12:23 am UTC (link)
	The men just laugh before returning to their business. When they got to her bike, Tyler finally spoke. "I can't believe you pulled that out. I thought I was going to have to put boots to asses." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"So did I," she admits. "There goes some money I can use for research though. I'm what you might think of as a magical engineer. I spend almost all my free time testing out new theories on old ideas. I'm saving up for some books I need on working magical weapons. They're hard to come by."

She checks her bike over carefully. "It's why my place is kind of crappy. I don't need much so long as I can get what I need."
