Nadu like the rest of his kind never liked daylight, being creatures of the night they were barred from seeing the golden orb of sunlight. But unlike his kindred, he had a noose hanging over his neck. So he feeds his daylight ring with essense and steps into the light. Last night's interrogation was successful, he watched through the little man's eyes the whole robbery, every smell, sound, every conversation even things the man hadn't noticed but were in his subconscious. He had got a whiff of the robbers scent, and from the memories he knew where one of them would be, New Saint Theresa Hospital, Underguard but what are a few humans to a vampire like Nadu. In his past life he had been an assassin, till that unfortunate day where the hunter became the hunted, he had paid back that debt, quickly adapting to the situation.
He had managed to deal a death blow on the creature that hounded him after suffering various bites and wounds from the creature. Days later he had woken up to see himself fully healed and somehow different, there was a new awareness to him. Discovering his powers had taken time, afterwards he had tracked down his employers and dispatched them, turned out they knew of what he hunted but he was sent in blind, that had been a long time ago tho.
Bringing himself to the top of the building closest to the hospital he ran the length of the roof and jumped, a normal human would have crashed to the street , he however attached to the walls like a magnet to metal. He caught the scent now, using the scent he found Dallas room, lifting the window planes was easy, it was meant to keep men out not those like him.
He looked at Dallas sleeping on the bed attached to many Drips, he had to be fast about this. He couldn't take his time to sift the memories and feed ,also taking the man out might lead to his death before he could be interrogated, however if anyone knew where the jewels would be it would be this man lying here. He opened himself psychicly and said one word. "Relive". Memories begin to stream between the man and Nadu.
Harryman had the hospital watched by both himself and some paid hands, he had a lot of men and rarely had to go on jobs, but he loved the thrill. Now was the time he decided. He was putting on a black suit and looked very bad ass with his black hat pulled to cover parts of his face. He reached the receptionist and waved his FBI badge.
" Dallas from the robbery, what room?"
" Fifth floor ward three" " there are two officers guarding him" she finishes.
He thanked her and carefully avoiding the cameras he gets to the fifth floor, he fingers the items in his pocket, an hypodermic needle with an untraceable poison, his Nine mm pistol and another needle filled with a simulant. He steps confidently to the police officers and shows then his badge, they look at each other.
" I'll like to see the patient ".
The one on the left nods his head and opens the door.
Harryman is about to enter the room when the cop exclaims " Holy God!!!, What is that?" Gunshots follow as Harryman enters the room just ahead of the other cop.
Dallas had woken up several times while he was in the hospital but they were brief sessions of awareness and pain, disorientation had sent him back to being unconscious.
Something was different this time, he felt like he was being forced to relive the day of the robbery, with someone looking over his shoulder.
He stopped Wondering when his mind came upon the red hair thief and now that he noticed, her friend too. As the memories sped he noticed something that stiffened his spine. So it was a large dog like creature that hit him into the taxi. Just before he lost consciousness he saw one more thing, an ivory purse in the hands of the red hair girl. So she really is a thief.
The sounds of gunshots brought him to a shocking awakefullness, his eyes opened and he just caught sight of someone hitting the glass window and move out of his room. It was followed by a cop coming to the window to check, then he saw a familiar face.
Harryman's shock lasted only a few seconds as he saw a golden opportunity, as the two cops went to the windows he started giving orders.
"You, go down and give chase, You check the next building and call for back up"
"Yes sir, they both reply".
Alone in the room, he notices that Dallas is awake and put back the needle in his pocket.
"Dallas you lost the loot"
"I didn't lose everything Boss, there was an ivory purse, the red hair girl took it" Harryman stopped, if he hadn't known already about the purse he would have thought Dallas was playing for his life, but he knew , " where is the girl?" Dallas explains between breaths how he ran into the girl, girls now how he was pushed by the wolf like creature
How he remembers seeing the bag in the girl's hand, he recalled how far along from the bank he had been, " close to the playground boss"
Dallas smiles, pleased with himself, he had redeemed himself a little and the next statement of Harryman proofs that
" Can you walk?"
"With some help". Dallas replies
Harryman, glad he could salvage the situation helps Dallas up.
The two cops come back and meet an empty room, hospital cameras show the FBI agent taking away the suspect. They still didn't see the agents face in camera. The district police kept the matter hush and the accounts of the officer seeing what could not be was expunged.
Harryman arrives at their hide out , helping Dallas out of the car. They enter through the backdoor. The remaining men there are surprised, then leap to action assisting and cheering them. In less then fifteen minutes Harryman choose some men and they ride down with Dallas to where he last saw the girls. They easily find the place and Harryman steps out with some of the men while Dallas is driven back to get some medical aid and preparation for relocation. Men who have their identies blown are usually relocated to another part of the world for a few years, that way the heat cools off.
Harryman, mind on the job looks around and finally locates a store with a camera pointing in the street where Dallas saw the girls.
He waves his badge and after a few minutes is leaving with the footage of the robbery.
An hour later the footage is being reviewed and the beautiful faces of Tarna and Sarah are revealed. Harryman has pictures printed and sends his men out to look out for the girls. Two days later one of his men has a great idea to watch schools in the area and close by as they couldn't find the girls. At exactly the third day they locate Tarna and Sarah leaving school for home.
Nadu made it to his lair after hiding in an apartment for the rest of the day. The owner was dead, blood drained as Nadu needed to replenish his strength and start healing. Being interrupted in a psychic link was dangerous, almost as dangerous as stepping under a Ultraviolet lamp, while he would not die it was the next thing to it as he would barely be able to use any abilities or even move faster than the average human. It was pure luck that the apartment owner had tired to help him and he had gotten a meal. Now he was in his lair, he settled to rest fully.
The summons came as a shock, the council should not have called for him for a few more days, but he felt their call and knew he would have to face them " I come " he thought back to them. "Delay no more than a day" came their reply. Thinking furiously to himself of what he would have to do and say to prevent his death, he allowed the darkness envelope him and restore him.
