{Ashes to Mathias} - So It Begins

Dia Rivera  *Sitting at the bar, tapping my foot to the beat of the music as I pull up the monthly reports on my tablet. I hear the click of boot behind me. Not having to look back I know by the sound who it is. Turning around on my bar stool. I shake my head at the site of my partner. She truly was a unique female. She has it all. Beauty, Brains and Braun.* Good evening Satora, I see you got my text.

Satora Razza ~I scanned the area around Dia, having already memorized who was there from the monitors in my office then nodded at his question.~ I wouldn't be here otherwise. Did you have a question?

Dia Rivera *Pushing the tablet toward the female.* No questions. I thought we might go over the monthly reports. I want to make sure that our partner, Meison Declain isn't trying to pull a fast one on us.

Satora Razza ~Glancing down at the numbers, I assured myself they were the same that I had sent him earlier.~ He has been remarkably quiet since the opening. I do not allow him access to the numbers to change. Should I reserve any of the new apartments for him or lease them from our list?

Dia Rivera *Chuckles* Probably, I hear he is sharing his apartment with his daughter. *Reaching for the tablet* Speaking of apartments. I see we are near capacity. Do you see any problems with humans lodging so close to Breed?

Satora Razza ~Shrugging lightly~ They have to sign a release. We, nor the Breed living here, can be held accountable for any accident. It is their choice. I'll put a few apartments aside and ask if he wants them. The screening process is quite rigorous and I refuse to let another Agent in.

Dia Rivera *Arching a brow* Agent? What agent?

Satora Razza Agent Mathias Rowan, former Director of the Enforcement Agency in Boston, now a Special Agent or Liaison with JUSTIS and The Order. The contact that couched for him has already been disposed of. The positive side is we can keep an eye on him and his whereabouts. He has already visited your newest partner's place of business. ~eyeing his reaction~

Dia Rivera *Frowning.* I'm not sure I like this. If he's here that mean the Order will be around more than we want. He's up to something. Keep a close eye on him. I don't want him poking his nose into our business.

Satora Razza Already done. He is under surveillance as soon as he sets foot on Dome property. There have been no other unusual visits from the Order but I do predict that as the club opens, the younger unmated Breeds will be visiting. An unfortunate side effect of our business. ~taking the tablet, I pull up the information to bring the feed from our cameras directed at his door~

Dia Rivera Good thinking, Satora you use your training well. I'm glad we are on the same team. *Standing I take the tablet in hand* Let me know if flat foot puts his nose where it doesn't belong. I have no qualms sending Mathias Rowan ashes to Lucan Thorne in a box.

Satora Razza ~Smirking, I signal the bartender for a drink then look over the crowd finding my dinner and entertainment for the evening. I can only imagine the look on the Leader's face with a box full of ashes. Mayhap, he will get that instead of the stabbed ass of a Warrior next time his band visits the Dome.~

{State of Satora} A Meeting with Lucan

Lucan Thorne  December 17, 2012   *Staring at his phone screen before pressing SEND, He leans back against the wall waiting for his brothers to respond; It is time for another strategy session with his warriors, and check in time with Gideon, this situation with Satora and Diabolus needs some resolution.

Gideon Breed *Grabbing my phone as it vibrates across my desk* Hell Lucan is calling a meeting, I can only imagine the subject of which will be our darkhaven security breach. *Rolling over to my secondary operating system I call up all my up to date files, and wait for everyone to arrive*

Hunter GenOne *Checking my cell as a message comes through. After reading it, I walk down to the lab, pushing through the door. I nod to everyone as I take a position at the back, crossing my arms over my chest*

Kade Breed *Rolling out of bed, away from my mate after reading the text* Shit, gotta go babe. *Pulls on my jeans and shirt as I'm walking to the door* Back later. Love you. *gives her a wink, pulling the door closed behind me. I jog down to the lab, walking through the door seeing my brothers already there* What's up? *taking a seat next to T*

Dante Malebranche *just preparing to spend the evening with Tess and Rafe for his Birthday, my phone explodes. Reading the directive, I kiss them both and head down to the lab. The others already gathered none to thrilled to be here either. I saunter in and lean against the nearest wall to Lucan.* What Up Boss man? I hope this is important or my Mate is going to have my hide.

Lucan Thorne *looking around the room meeting each of his warriors in the eyes* We need to find out what the situation with the female gen One is heading, I want to know how far we have come in the search for her and that Breed male who tracked her down.

Gideon Breed As my computer spits out the latest coordinates from the tracking program I have designed, I tell my brothers that we may have a lead on the location Diabolus is suspected to have been in the last two weeks, by reversing the tracking signal he had on Satora I was able to locate an address, but the signal has since gone dead*

Hunter GenOne *Listening with rapt attention* I will check it out. Dante? Kade? You with me? We could use Niko in on this too.

Kade Breed *Giving a nod* I'm in. We need to take this asshole down *cracks my knuckles, thinking of Diabolus' face*

Dante Malebranche *glaring over at Tegan and his secret shit. It was all leg work and he knew it* Yeah H, I am in, and I know Niko wants in.. He has been itching to try out a special little something he made, to get back at that low-life and his girlfriend. Speaking of girl.. has anyone tried to talk to Lazaro, he won't even look my direction.. Can't even say, I told you so.. *shrugs*

Lucan Thorne *Stepping towards the doors* Ok, get on it, and check in, if not with each other, then at least with Gideon. I don't want any cowboy shit going on out there. Dante, stay away from Lazaro for the time being, he has enough on his mind without you riding his shit. *With a nod to Tegan he leaves the lab*

Dante Malebranche *scowls* Why is it me that always gets warned?

Kade Breed *Grins at D* Because you're the one always in trouble, bro.

{State of Satora} Gid

Gideon Breed   November 26, 2012  *Pinching the bridge of my nose between my fingers, reviewing once again the video of the Gen One female Satora's escape. I have already doubled the security measures usually taken to protect our home. I'm not willing to take the chance that she and her cohorts may be looking for the compound.

Gideon Breed *staring at my phone for the 100th time, I look at the last two texts from Savannah* She is really starting to worry about me. My instinct to connect with my mate is so strong, but I just need to go over this one more time... How can I expect her to respect and love me when I can't even keep one prisoner/guest safe in a small darkhaven! I must make sure our home is impenetrable, for her sake as well as the rest of the family.

Savannah Dupree *After sending texts to Gideon throughout the day and not getting any response from him, I decide to go to his lab and have a talk with him. Feeling all of his emotions, knowing the guilt he is feeling for the escape of the Gen one female  Satora has put my own emotions on a roller-coaster of their own* I need to talk to him to let him know that he could not have known this was going to happen. I have to make him see that he is not responsible for what has happened. *As I walk down the hall I feel my mate’s anger and know that I must help his to see that he is not at fault for this set of circumstances. The weight of his guilt has me dizzy and I fight to get control before I walk into his lab*

Gideon Breed My back to the lab doors, concentrating on the bank of monitors before me, suddenly my blood bond to Savannah tells me she is unwell, lunging from my chair to go to her, I am stunned to find her outside my lab, one hand on the wall bracing herself. *sweeping her up in my arms, I feel her body tremble* SAVANNAH! What is wrong with you babe, are you hurt?

Savannah Dupree *Before I can get myself under control Gideon is at my side picking me up and asking what is wrong with me. Not wanting to have this moment be all about me, I force myself to straighten up and take my hand off the wall. Trying to Push away from him and get out of his arms I start to shake my head* Could you please let go of me, I am just fine; I came to talk with you to see if you wanted to spend some time with me! Maybe just sit and watch a movie or something to get your mind off of the events of the past few days.

Gideon Breed Sensing now that she is ok, I set Savy on her feet and listen as she tells me she is fine; the invitation to spend some time together and relax is appealing, but I really need to just get this figured out, then I will devote some serious time and attention to my beautiful breedmate. *Lifting the back of her hand to my lips, I place a gentle kiss on it* Thank you for the invitation love, but I really need to get this work finished, maybe Elise or Alexandra might want to hang out with you tonight.

Savannah Dupree *Seeing the look in his eyes I can tell that he is not going to come with me. But I will not let him see and feel how this pains me, so I smile. He kisses the back of my hand as he tells me that he is not going back to our room to spend some time with me. And as I hear his words I lift my hand and touch is face. I have lived with him long enough to know how to get around our bond if I need to; to make sure he doesn’t know that it hurts me not to be with him* Ok babe it’s ok I just thought you would want to take a break from your work for a while! Maybe I will see if one of the ladies will want to hang out for a while. *as I back up from him I smile again and make sure he feel nothing but love coming from me, turning to walk away I stop and look back at him again* Do me a favor babe next time I text you just answer me and I won’t have to make the trip down here and disturb your work again!

{State of Satora} Savy and Ren

Savannah Dupree   October 30, 2012   *leaving Dylan in the kitchen to finish the cupcakes I grab a bottle of water and head out into the living room to sit and read my book until Gideon come back. As I make my way down the hall, I hear the front door open and close; I turn and see Renata coming in smiling at me, I greet her with a smile as well and stop to talk for a minute* Hi Ren, are you just getting from the darkhaven? <Hey Savvy, I was just going to look for you; we were hoping you could read this knife and tell us what you see. It’s a knife we took off of the gen one female,  Satora  and  Lucan wants to know as soon as possible anything that you find.> Ok let me have a look.*I take the knife and close my eyes and concentrate knowing that whatever I find out will be important* From what I can tell the knife has only been used as protection, she has never used it for anything malicious; I’m not getting anything else from it, I hope that helps you. I will see you later for dinner. *handing the knife back to Renata and give her a smile and continue down the hall*

Renata Breed ~taking the knife back from Savvy, sighing I nod my head~ Thank you Savvy, I will let Gid and Lucan know what you found ~heading to the lab I turn at the last minute remembering that Gid is still at the Darkhaven setting up his toys, tossing the knife into the air I head to the training room, smiling seeing the sign up sheet for Mira's training~
