{Ashes to Mathias}

Rio Atanacio 

*Walking into their quarters after returning from patrol he finds his mate sitting on the couch going through a box of pictures. Sitting down beside her he takes one out of the box. He recognized the pictures taken so many years ago. Her mother sitting on a beach with tall blonde male* Hi baby, what's with the pictures.

  Dylan Alexander "I was thinking of my mom. Her birthday is coming up and I thought it'd be nice to look at the photos. Remember her, when she was healthy and not sick." She scooted closer to him. "This one was on her trip to Greece with her friends. I'm not sure who the man is, but I know she had a great time there."

  Rio Atanacio *Drawing her into my arms* I know you miss her. But I know she is watching over you and she's in your heart.

  Dylan Alexander *smiling at him as she snuggled into and let him sit the box of photos on the table* I know she does and I know she is grateful I have you. How was your scouting trip tonight?

  Rio Atanacio *Pulling the card from a pocket he hands it to Dylan* Brock and I went back to the place where Mat was held. I was hoping to find something that would give us clues on those that were involved in Mat's kidnapping.

  Dylan Alexander *taking the card and looking at it closely, the card had Meison's name on it and the same symbol that was on the UV ammo. Sitting up some on his lap.* Does this mean he's running the lab making those things?

  Rio Atanacio *Tightening his mouth in thought* I don't know, perhaps. I'm gong to pass this on to Gideon. We know he has some business interest here and he is a business partner of Dia Rivera. Now we need to dig deeper and find out more about what kind of business he is running besides what the public sees. *Flipping the card over* But it's this emblem I am most curious about. Why a Breedmate mark within a sun?

  Dylan Alexander *she ran her finger over it* Maybe we should run the image through the net and see if it appears anywhere online in any literature. The only thing we lose if it doesn't is time.

  Rio Atanacio *Takes the card and places it on the table* That we can do. But I thought I would check with Jenna and Dare see if they have come across this logo in their research. But that is for another day.* Leans in and kisses her gently* Hungry?

  Dylan Alexander A little, but I can wait. * picks up a few more photos showing them to him* Mom looked so young in these and so happy. I think these were before I was born.

  Rio Atanacio *Feeling her excitement as she rummages through the photos he takes one of the photos and examines it. Dylan's mother was sitting at a sidewalk café the tall blonde man beside her. On the table was a folder. The gentleman's hand particially covered the marking s but it appear to have the same engraving as the card.* Dylan, can you make out what is on this folder in this picture?

  Dylan Alexander *She looked at squinted her eyes* I can't make it out. I think I have a magnifying glass in my desk. *getting up she goes and rifles through a draw. Holds it up before handing it to him* Try this.

  Rio Atanacio *Moving the glass back a forth to get a better view it still wasn't clear.* It's an old picture and a bit faded, but it looks like a bit of the sun, Can I take this picture and see what Gid can do with it?

  Dylan Alexander Please do. Do think he might be able to make a clear copy for me to keep as well? *Gideon was the computer digital master. * I wonder who the man is with my mom. * she started looking at the back of the photos to see if her mother had written anything on them*

  Rio Atanacio *Shrugs* Gid isn't called the miracle worker for nothing. I'll take it to him tomorrow. *Watching his mate from hooded eyes* I'm sure he was someone that gave her happy memories otherwise she wouldn't have held onto those pictures. *Taking the pictures from her, he kisses her palm* Come on let's get out of here.

{Ashes to Mathias} The Confrontation

Dia Rivera

July 1 

*Losing Mathias and my lab was a small glitch in my ultimate plane. Word was out that Lucan had sent Mathias to the UK along with Malcom and his Clan. Taps chin in thought. Humm. Perhaps I need to make a few phone calls to a few of my contact*

  Aine Declain *Knocks on Dia's office door before walking in. Tossing several different newspapers down on his desk, all covering the rescue and destruction.* Daddy is gonna be pissed! I hope you have plans on cleaning this mess up. Preferably ones that don't include my "help". *Turns and walks out*

  
  
• 

  Dia Rivera *Snarls as the female turns away* GET your ass back in here Declain. I believe it is YOU and YOUR father that have some explaining to do.

  
  
• 

  Aine Declain *Stops at the door, whipping my head around* US?!?! *Stakes over to his desk, slamming my hands down and leaning towards him* First of all, I did EXACTLY what was asked of me. And second, I seriously doubt this came about as a result of anything that Father or I did. I didn't so much as breathe a word of it to anyone. And I'm sure Daddy was very careful. He always is. So don't even think of trying to pin this mishap on either of us!

  Dia Rivera *Walking around the oak desk I block her exit*. Sit the fuck down female. You have a hell of a lot explaining to do. First off WHERE is your FATHER?

  
  
• 

  Aine Declain *Turns and sits on the edge of his desk* How the hell should I know? He doesn't check his schedule with me and I've stopped asking. I learned over the years it doesn't do any good anyways. He only tells what he wants known.

  Dia Rivera *Taking her foot in hand I look at the small crescent moon and tear drop. It was a very good imitation. Tat artist had perfected their technique these past 20 year. * What game are you playing, female?

  
  
• 

  Aine Declain *Furrows my brow as he rubs his thumb back and forth over my ankle* I don't know what you're talking about. *Pulling my foot away, I quickly stand and get into his face* What are you up to? You capture Mathias just to skimp on his security and let them take him back. Are we just handing over prisoner's now?

  Dia Rivera *My irises narrows and the amber glow sweeps over her form* I answer to no ONE, least of all females. All is going to plan. Knowing Mathias he has told Lucan Thorne all about you, and how he worries that you poor little breedmate is being used by the likes of me. I am betting that soon you will be contacted, because they have this need to protect. *Snorts* Your father did something right when he had you tattooed. But I wonder how he plans for you to fool the Order when they question why you have no unique scent. *Snickers* From what I hear Lucan won't be happy being played. He has no love for humans.

  Aine Declain *My eyes flare with anger as I push on his chest* How dare you! I did not agree to help you beyond luring Mathias up to my apartment. If they did contact me, the only reason I would keep my mouth shut is because that would be my father's wish. *Pushes back on his chest again* But don't you think for a minute that I do anything to help you. You haven't even given me reason to trust you, let alone work with you.

  
  
• 

  Dia Rivera *Grabbing her wrist I yank her close, my fang emerging in anger* YOU will do what I tell you to. Your absentee father is NOT in charge and trust? I have never trusted either of you. You are noting but food to those of us at the top of the food chain. Now find your father. He has some explaining to do.

  Aine Declain *Gasping as he tugs me close. The anger in his words flowing over my skin. Glancing down at his glistening fangs before wrenching my wrist free and pushing him hard. Smirking as he stumbles back a few steps.* Try it and I'll have your fangs as earrings! As for finding my father, you have flunkies for that. Good luck! *Pushes past him as storms out the door*
