About a half an hour later, they finally made it to the ANM's safe house which wasn't the same as the one that they held a meeting in before. Instead this one was in the same city as Ms.Lilly's shop but unlike her shop, their safe house seemed like an abandoned office building, with a couple cracks on the outside.
But as they walked into the building, there were large holes in the roof which seemed to be the cause of the first floor being a complete mess.
There was a rusty metal door with a dent that was the same size as a human's foot, the door seemed to be sinking into the dent as the hinges were barely attached.
Michael and David led Christian and his servants to the door and behind it was a stairwell that led to a basement with a broken doorway. As they got to the basement, a low muttering sound as if someone's voice could be faintly heard. Although Kyle and his servants were able to hear that it was Christian who was talking.
"How do you know if anyone is trying to sneak in?" Kyle asked as he saw a narrow corridor.
"What do you mean?" David asked as he began to guide them through the corridor.
As they walked past the rooms, Kyle noticed the rooms were creepingly dark and he could hear small rustling sounds as if two people were inside each room. Faint sounds of chuckling were heard as they walked past the rooms, almost as if they were laughing at Kyle as he tried to see through darkness. "The entrance is heavily guarded so if anyone tries that, I doubt that they'll get very far." He finished as he saw the only room that had a light which was all the way at the end of the corridor.
Christian was in the room with all of the other captains and several members of the ANM, most of them were sitting whatever they found that was big enough while the rest of them, like Christian just stood and waited. However behind Christian were 27 duffle bags on top of the broken shelves that he found in the other rooms and three of the duffle bags were labeled with Kyke and his servants initials.
"Why the hell are you so late?" Christian asked before he saw the jar of blood in Kyle's hand.
"Stopped by Ms.Lilly's to get a map. Did you know the CICA are looking for the Vampire now?" David asked as he gave him the map.
"I almost forgot about this and yeah, I heard they took over the case earlier today. We don't have time to worry about that right now, we need to get ready." Christian said as he took the map and one of the duffle bags. "Kyle, Drey, and Melissa these bags are for you, the other bags are for everyone else, pick one and go change now." Christian rushed them as he started walking to one of the other rooms.
As Christian left the room, the members immediately started taking the bags to change in other rooms while the members that were up front guarding the entrance came to get bags as well. Michael took one of the bags and went to one of the rooms in the front to watch the entrance while he changed into his uniform.
"Michael, David, and Christian are leading this mission, you three and three of our other members are supposed to act as their bodyguards for this task. It might be too much of an important first task for anyone else but you're perfect for this role. You're already drawing so much attention so we're gonna use that today." Urie said as she grabbed a bag.
"You are not always gonna be doing the same task together. We're gonna need to separate you for most of them." David said to them before he went into a different room.
"That's fine." Kyle said dismissively.
After they got dressed and met up in the room all the way in the back again, Kyle noticed that majority of the members weren't wearing a suit like the others, instead they were wearing military gear that didn't seem like it was stolen equipment or anything, it was specifically made for the ANM as it had an embroidered logo on the breast pockets.There was a black carbon mask with ANM below the left eye.
"We have two teams for this task. The escort team which I am in charge of and most of the captains are gonna have separate roles on my team so those who have the same uniform as me may have to protect them more than escorting the other team but they should be good since they got Michael but they won't have to worry about moving since I'll be in charge of the main escort." Gabriel explained as he had the ANM Military gear.
"I'll be in charge of the executive team, there's only two roles on this team which is the ones who'll be acting as executives and the ones who'll be acting as their bodyguards. There's only three executives and the rest of you are bodyguards. We are all wearing suits but the bodyguards are wearing all black." Michael stepped up and explained as he wore his gray suit with black shoes.
"Yeah, Only two cars will be closely escorting them, which is the main escort, the others will be watching for everyone else. For some reason the CICA is in New Jersey as well, so we might need distractions too." Gabriel explained as he put on gloves. "Well chop, chop. We need to move now." He said as he clapped his hands.
As the ANM began their task, S201 and D124 were now in Newark New Jersey only a couple miles away from the ANM's safehouse.
"Why the hell are we searching in the morning, he's always out at night. We probably would've found him in that butcher shop at night." S201 said in an exhausted tone as he looked out the window of the car.
"We're just finding suitable hotspots and you shouldn't even be tired, we've been in the car the whole time." D124 said as he saw a cop walking towards the car.
"These suits are horrible, we won't be able to do a proper search like this. We need to be able to get into any place with people being suspicious. Without these suits we would've passed as customers at that shop earlier and would've been allowed in that basement." S201 said before the cop started knocking on D124's window.
"You are gonna have to move your car off this street right now. An event is about to start and your car is in the way." The cop said after D124 rolled down the window.
"We weren't aware of an event happening here. What is it for?" D124 asked confusingly as he looked around.
"I'm not entirely sure but they got permission to use this street so you need to hurry and move your car. Of course you could walk around and check it out for yourself when it starts." The cop said as he scratched the back of his neck.
"Well we're with the CICA, we're currently investigating the vampire's whereabouts if you don't mind, can we just park our car near the sidewalk for a while?" D124 asked as he they showed the cop their badge.
"There hasn't been anything like that here and I'm supposed to make sure there are absolutely no cars on the street. There are some restaurants you can visit if you need someplace to rest but unfortunately, you're still gonna have to move your car." The cop said as he pointed out a couple restaurants.
"Alright officer, have a good day." D124 said as he quickly drove off in irritation. "Okay so we're gonna stand by until the sunsets and then we'll start our search again. We're gonna park near this street, I wanna see what this event is about." He finished.
"I'm so glad this car has an AC, you're a bad guy. These suits are so bad for this weather." S201 complained in a sore tone as he leaned his head on the window.
"Holy crap, you don't stop complaining. How the hell did you get into the HPA?" D124 said in an aggravated tone.
"I'm 201st rank out of the top 500 soldiers, as you can tell I did what I had to plus more." S201 said as his tone changed almost immediately.
"You better be worth the rank than." D124 said as he parked a couple meters away from the street, still close enough to see all of the building entrances.
"Holy shit, you're choking on-" Multiple black SUV's suddenly started driving past him like they were being chased which surprised S201 enough to cut him off.
There was a white limo creeping in between all of the black SUV's as it was being escorted with all of the windows tinted. S201 and D124 silently watched as the limo stopped at a luxurious restaurant. The street was completely empty as if everyone was avoiding it at all cost. As they continued to watch the limo.
Once all of the car's stopped, A tall and muscular Asian male stepped out of the limo. He wore a black and purple suit with glasses but no tie on his chest, he also had gold rings on eight of his fingers while over 20 men who were wearing purple suits stood besides with guns like AK-47s, M13s, and MP5Ks.
"Is everything alright Mr. Ryoa." One of the men in purple suits asked as he stood close to him.
"I fucking hate dealing with American criminals but Michael is the exception. He said that he has some goodies to trade so let's see what he and ANM were able to conjure up for us today." Ryoa said as he stretched his arms.
