Patrol: Dare and Elijah

Dare Thorne with Elijah Breed

April 23

*Down in the garage, I'm waiting on Elijah so we can start our patrol. Excited about the prospect of patrolling with someone my own age for a change, I'm impatient.* :txt: Eli I'm in the garage. Weapon up and get your ass down here. D :sndtxt:

  Elijah Breed *Chuckles while reading Dare 's message and texts back* Chill dude, I need to pick up my gun, some titanium ammo and my knives... I'll come down in a sec :sndtxt: *Picking up his weapons of choice, Eli heads down to the garage to meet his partner*

  Dare Thorne *sensing Breed presence, I turn as Elijah enters the garage.* About time! Let's roll. From what I understand, we're just supposed to do a fairly short patrol. Scout out some of the clubs and look for any rogue activity or anything else out of the ordinary. *Climbing in the car, we exit the garage and head down the road out of the compound.* Gotta say I'm glad it's just us. Going out with the older warriors drives me nuts sometimes. I mean, they're my uncles and I love them, but I think they're afraid of my Dad. They try to protect me too much.

  Elijah Breed *Sarcastic smile* You don't say! I was on patrol with Malcolm , and I swear he thought I was Connor, he actually tugged me by my damn sleeve! These Elders are great teachers and mentors, but they need to slow down on the protectiveness... I couldn't agree more, thank God it's just the two of us tonight.

  Dare Thorne *Laughing* I know what you mean. We can learn a lot from them, but sometimes..... *turning down a side street, I head the car towards one of the more popular clubs.* Looks like the clubs are rocking tonight, but I'm not getting any sense of Breed around. Not at this one anyway.

  Elijah Breed Hmmm... I don't know, Dare . I'm jumpy since that night of the red; or blood moon, like some are starting to call it when all those civilians turned rogue inexplicably... Who's to say that it will not happen again? I will not rest easy until we can ascertain what really happened that night...

  Dare Thorne *mulling over what Eli just said* Hmmm.... I think it may take awhile before we know for sure what was behind that. I have the ability to sense Breed presence, and I tell you, I'm not picking anything up at this one. I think this one's clean. *Heading on down the street towards the next club.*

  Elijah Breed *The two young Breed check several clubs uneventfully* Dare , I think we are out of luck tonight... No rogues, nothing out of the ordinary... The feeding curfew is going to finish soon, what do you think of going for a quick bite, just so that this night will not go down as a complete waste of time?

  Dare Thorne Sounds like a plan. *Pulling into a parking space near the next club, we exit the car and go inside. The place is noisy - music is blaring. The dance floor is crowded, and it's standing room only at the bar.* Damn bro - it's amazing that the humans don't lose their hearing and go completely deaf by the time they're 25! *Scanning the room, I get no sense of Breed or anything else out of whack* I sense that the place is clean. Let's pick out a snack. *Looking around, I spot a tall, willowy brunette in the corner. Damn - she looks a lot like Carys. That thought triggered the memory of our ride on my bike. The way she looked when she straddled me and kissed me for the first time. Shaking my head to clear it, I walk closer to her.* I think I found mine, bro.

  Elijah Breed *Damn! Dare was even more besotted than he thought... Eli looked at the beautiful girl; who obviously had more than a passing resemblance to Carys and shook his head* Dude, you are really a goner over Princess...
