Rio, Niko, and Aric do a little Investigating (Toronto Part 3 - The Breed)

Niko Breed

*Taking the hit to the gut that Aric said was from "Kade". That was ok He's get his ass later and champs too. Right now it was time to get on with the assignment that boss had laid out for them.* Come on amigo hate to tear you away from your mate, but we have work to do. You can get freaky later. Right now we need to check out this incident at a night club downtown. Apparently there's been some humans showing up dead with marks on their necks.

Rio Atanacio *Growling he and Aric followed his best friend to the garage.* Do these deaths have any connections to the ones in DC and England?

Aric Chase *he brought up the rear as Niko filled them in on the details of the club as well as the bodies*Oh shit, this sounds familiar. 
*they hopped into the Order issued SUV and Niko sped off, Rio hanging on for dear life in the passenger seat*

Niko Breed Buckle up buttercups time waits for no breed. *Speeding off in the direction of the club he plugs the USB drive into the video monitor that Gid had downloaded for them. It showed surveillance of two breed males taking human females behind the club, but not being able to see their faces. Then the females being set beside the dumpsters. It was like they were leaving a calling card.*

Rio Atanacio *Barely strapping in he braced himself for the wild ride through town. Pushing the button the imaged popped up on the screen mounted on the back seat.* I don't think rouges are responsible. Their throats are intact. Did they have any ID or other personal affects? Were there any witnesses that could tell us who was last seen with these women?

Aric Chase *they came to a screeching halt in front of the club as the screen went blank* So we start here and work our way out. Surveillance footage inside? Maybe Gid can get us some street side cameras? Follow these jokers? I'd love to pay them a visit.

Niko Breed *Slapping champ on the shoulder.* See this is where you come in. You get to go inside and sweet talk the manager of the club into giving us a copy of their films. While Rio and I check out the back of the club. You know us "old timers", we wouldn't know how to act inside a night club. *Smiling as he walks away grumbling underneath his breath. Rio just shakes his head.* "You do love giving him a hard time don't you Amigo." *Laughing at his buddy he walks behind the club to see what or if anything has been left behind,*

Rio Atanacio *Mumbles as he check his glock.* The boy is a warrior. He's far more skilled at his age than you or I were. I tease him but I respect him. *Rounding the corner of the building their Breed hearing pick up voices. Looking over at Niko.* I think we have company.

Aric Chase *he shrugs and heads inside to see what he could find. He started with the bouncer at the front door, making his way inside with ease. He headed for the main bar first, might as well start there. He flagged down the bartender with a 50 in his hand, it was amazing how quickly money talked in any country. He leaned over the bar some, asking his questions quickly when there was a lapse in the pounding bass from every speaker*

Niko Breed *Reaching for his glock and he and Rio take cover. Hearing female laughter as they do. Rio and I look at each other. A silent communication passes between us. Just as the two breeds have the females where they want them, not knowing we were there.* Well well well what do we have here? *Just as they start to turn and run Aric is standing in their way with his gun raised and aimed.* "I believed he asked you a question, and if I were you I'd answer. He tends to be trigger happy.

Rio Atanacio *His scarred face made him look menacing, especially under the dim security light. With his weapon drawn, he had their alternate escape path blocked. Waving the barrel of his glock* It looks like these senoritas are not up to what you have planned for them. So why don't you release your claws from them and quietly come with us.

Aric Chase *he kept his aim steady on who he thought was the leader of the two, just waiting for the signal from Niko before he pulled the trigger* Walk the fuck away asshole. Trust me on this.

Niko Breed *Just as Aric had gotten the words out of his mouth the tall blonde male rushed him. Without even thinking he shot the fucker between the eyes. The other guy turns to run, but Rio being faster catches the fucker.* Damn I hate it when they don't listen. Let this be a lesson to ya. Do what the fuck you're told.

Rio Atanacio *Twisting the male's arm the Breed struggles to get out of his grip.* Chill before I break your arm in two, chico. *Ignoring the orders, he punches me in the nose breaking it at the bridge. Growling in pain his fangs punch out of his gums, his expression feral.* You son of a bitch.* Twisting the Breed's arm at an angle he snaps his arm. Howling in pain the male falls to his knees holding his injured arm. Wiping his own blood on his sleeve, he pulled out a set of cuffs and in one swift movement he took the youths good arm and fastened it to his ankle* You're lucky I don't slit your throat, but we need you alive for questioning.

Aric Chase *he quickly cleaned up the scene while Niko wiped the two females minds and sent them home. Rio introduced his new friend to the back of the SUV a few times before tossing him into the back with a startlingly feral grin amongst his scars and bloody broken nose* damn Rio, Dylan is gonna give you hell for that! *Niko climbed behind the wheel again and they took their "lead" back to the compound to see what they could find out*

Rafe and Aric Blow Off Some Steam

Rafe Malebranche

*It had been a hellishly long night out on Patrol and damn if I wasn't feeling it. Aric, on the other hand, seemed fresher than a daisy, even though we'd both been out and dealt with the same shit. I choked on a growl as I pulled the car into the garage and parked it. Aric and I both got out and headed in to the compound* What the hell was with those rogues tonight? Is it just me or did they seem more...... well, more?

Aric Chase *He couldn't help but grin at Rafe as his frowned deepened* I don't know bro, he almost had you for a second there. Are you getting old for this game? Do we need to set you up behind a desk somewhere like they did to our parents? Uncle Dante and my old man never see any action anymore. Is that what we need to do with you bro? * He grinned wider as Rafe turned on him with a lethal snarl*

Rafe Malebranche *My snarl turned into a deep growl as I slammed Aric against the elevator wall* Getting old am I? You wanna take on 6 rogues next time while I take on the 3 you had to deal with? *I pulled back as the elevator got us to the right floor. The last thing I needed was for either of our mothers to see me so pissed. I'd have been in for it then. I barely held my anger in check as we headed out of the elevator*

Aric Chase *he chuckled again* yeah yeah, you da man.* their boots echoed cadence down the long empty hallway. His mind spun as they walked shoulder to shoulder. Rafe was his best friend. The one who had been there for him literally since the day he had been born. He couldn't remember one moment in his memories that didn't include Rafe. He could feel the turmoil rolling off his best friend. The adrenaline was still thick in his blood as well. He wasn't about to leave Rafe alone in the condition he was in. Not now.* Yo, bro. I'm definitely still pumped from that last little skirmish *he snorts* I think I'm going to head to the training room, want to keep me company?

Rafe Malebranche *I nodded, still too jacked up to form any kind of coherent conversation. A full on fight with that many rogues usually didn't have this effect on me. As frustrated as I was, I was glad Aric was with me. He knew me better than anyone, probably even my parents and he was the only one who really got what I was going through. We got to the training room and headed into the locker room to change into sweats* I swear...... those damned rogues need to stay down.

Aric Chase *they shuffled down the hall, every once in a while he would pop off some crack and give Rafe a shove. By the time they walked through the doors the amber was gone from his eyes and the frown had subsided.* that one was really crazy. You had to drop him three times. He just would not give up! I was about to jump in but you finally finished off the other one so I figured I'd enjoy the show, maybe learn something. *he laughed and clapped Rafe on the shoulders* So, I ordered these a while back but they just came in finally. * he pulls out his newest acquisition. Holding it over his head he throws back his head and roars, picturing a vision of himself in his head, before grinning at his partner* what do you think bro, ready to go a few rounds against me?

Rafe Malebranche *I raised an eyebrow at Aric and laughed, feeling a bit more relaxed.* Damn Bro.... You really didn't just go there. *I picked one up and spun it around, getting a feel for it's weight and balance. Then, just as Aric was getting into his stance, I swung my staff over my head and aimed it at him, just to see what his reaction would be*

Aric Chase *he was mid chuckle when he heard the swing. He didn't think, he just ducked* Oh, like that, is it? Ok Lil Italy, it's on. Like donkey kong! * he grinned and circled, getting in a few hits here and there as well as taking a few.* Bring it, Bitch! *he burst out laughing right as Rafe swept his feet from under him* Oooffff

Rafe Malebranche *I chuckled and took a step back* Lil Italy eh? *I circled around as Aric got back on his feet* Well Harvard Jr., let's see what you're made of! *We exchanged a few more hits, Aric landing a few lucky shots. It's a good thing we were both Breed and could take the force of the hits.* Getting lucky there HJ....

Aric Chase *He snorts, breathing heavily* yeah yeah. It's all skill, bro. Nothing but pure skill. * he touched his finger to his tongue then to his chest, making a sizzling sound.* you know you want to be just like me. * with a grin he swung quickly and dove to land beside Rafe who now lay on his back* Oh yeah. * he taps Rafe on his stomach with the pole before gaining his feet to begin again* Need some help up?

Rafe Malebranche *I lay there for a second, feeling just a little stunned by having the wind knocked out of me, then chuckled as I stood* Sheer luck...... That's all you got Bro!!! *We took a few last swings at each other before putting the staffs away. I hadn't realized how much I needed to just relax and laugh. I nudged Aric as we headed towards the showers* Thanks Bro. *Aric and I grinned at each other, knowing nothing else needed to be said. We both showered quickly, getting dressed with the same speed and heading out towards our quarters*

Brock, Tegan, Kade, Aric, and Torin Go on Beach Patrol

Aric Chase

*They received their orders for the night and headed out. Tonight Kade, Tegan, Brock, Torin, and he were tasked to patrol the local beach under the assumption of it being a holiday weekend so there will be more partying humans which meant more prey for the rogues. They exit the car and arm up as Tegan goes over the last minute details.* Yes Sir.

Torin Matthews *Checking his gear,he falls instep with his brothers, sticking to the shadows. They could smell the stale beer and alcohol as they walked down the beach. Bonfires were ablaze as the music pounded. Humans looked for any excuse to party. Shaking his head, he saw a blonde approach Champ, wanting a party friend for the evening.* Always gotta find a chick, don't you Aric. *Laughing, his eyes scanned the beach. He knew the rogues couldn't resist a good party either. He stopped for a seconding, catching movement up a head. * Kade, check out those guys up there.

Kade Maguire *Glancing in the direction Torin indicated, he felt a slight prickling move along the back of his neck* Yeah, I see it too *shrugging his shoulders to ease the anticipation of immanent combat action, he slowly scanned the shoreline and took note of all innocent bystanders* Champ, I think your date is gonna have to wait for another night, Tegan, what ya thinking?

Tegan GenOne *Keeping the dark shadows he scanned the area around them. Taking note where each human was parting. Keeping his eyes on the moving shadows he replied to Kade.* That we need move now.

Brock Breed *Quickly assessing what Tegan was seeing* We're almost to the boat that was docked here for us. We can patrol in the boat if we keep the running lights off and cover the entire length of the beach even faster without mingling with the humans. *Reaching the boat, and loosening the moorings, and waiting for everyone to climb their slow asses in.* Let's go!

Aric Chase *He launches himself into the boat and moves aft to untie that one* Clear *he yells as the engine revs. He turns to Torin and gives him a thumbs up*

Torin Matthews *Coiling up the rope, he tied a quick knot, and set it aside. Kade eased the boat away from the dock, taking off across the water. Using the cover of the night, he scanned the party boats as they passed.*

Kade Maguire *Doing his best to dodge notice of the drunken shore dwellers, he kept the boat gliding smoothly through the surf and numerous other boats in the area* Yo, guys, make sure you let me know if you… OH SHIT! *Slamming the throttle forward and yanking the wheel to steer the boat away from the inebriated idiot mid-jump form the deck of his boat directly into the path of theirs* HOLD ON TO SOMETHING *He ground his teeth together as the front end of the boat shot vertically up and over the rest of a wave*

Tegan GenOne * Laughter and music floated over the air as they pass boats. Scanning the surroundings when he heard Kade yell. Seeing the human not paying attention as he started to jump, bracing himself to keep from going over board when boat shot up he cursed under his breath as he heard someone hit the water.*

Brock Breed *looking around for suspicious activity, and caught off guard when the boat suddenly lurched up and over a wave. Losing my grip and trying frantically to find purchase, I fall over the side and hit the cold water.* HEY!! Kade! Come back! *Treading water as best I can as my cries for help are drowned out by the boat's loud motor. Yelling again to try to get their attention, but it's falling on deaf fucking ears as the boat grows smaller in the distance.*

Aric Chase *he was halfway back to the seating area when he heard Kade yell to hold on. Hold on? He frantically looks around him. Hold on to WHAT? The boat lurches forward and he barely gets to tuck before he feels himself rolling down the deck* Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh * he yells, waiting to drop into the water like a rock when suddenly Torin snags him by the collar and tosses him to the floor* Fuckin probee" he snarls as we narrowly avoid the diasater* Who, me?

Torin Matthews Yes you, Jackass. *Scanning the boat, he didn't see Brock* Kade! We need to circle back. Brock went into the water! *He scanned the area for the breed, realizing the splash they heard wasn't a stupid human, but an uncoordinated breed* Shit, does anyone see him?

Kade Maguire *Growling through a slight smirk* Really? Again? Jesus, we need to get the damn Breed some floaty wings or something *Snapping the boat back around, he throttled down so as not to run Brock flat and started scanning the water* Oh Shit! I think I see him… *Torin moves to look over the edge, Champ right beside him* "Where?!" Look for the most pissed off pair of eyes on the water *he chuckled low in his chest* That's him.

Tegan GenOne * Spotting Brock trying to stay a float and dodge other boats out on the water, Tegan growled at the humans. Diving into the water he swam to Brock, grabbing a hold of him they moved toward the boat. The roar of motor came to life singling another was getting ready to move. Aric and Torin leaned over grabbing Brock as he started coughing on a mouth full of salt water. Loaded back in the boat Tegan beat Brock on the back as he hacked up the lung full of water.*

Brock Breed *Coughing up the rest of the nasty salt water* Damn, bro - quit beating me. You didn't even buy me dinner first. I ain't into that shit. Kade, where in the blue fuck did you get your boating license? Walmart or Sears? *Sitting there, shivering in the night air, soaking wet* So what are you all looking at? Haven't you ever seen a wet Breed before? *Sticking my finger in Aric's ear* Here's a wet willie for ya! *Grumbling under my breath - he had just one thing to do - one thing. Drive the fucking boat* Kade, this is why we can't have nice things! Let's go back before I catch pneumonia!

Elijah and Rio on Patrol

Elijah Breed

*The smell of burned tires announced our arrival at the scene. We had rushed to the place of the alleged drug transaction. Breed dealers were supposedly going to complete a big drug transaction here by the Potomac. Rio and I were dispatched to investigate and stop it by whatever means necessary. This was a completely black op, not even JUSTIS knew anything about it. It would be an absolute pleasure to deal with the breed scum trafficking in human misery.* Ok, Rio we are here. Let's do this.

Rio Atanacio *With weapons drawn they quietly approached from the hillside. Jumping from his perch above the group of dealers , he landed with barely a thud behind the men that hugged the darken alley. Before the male could bark out an alarm he crushed his larynx and disposed of the body in the river quietly taking the dealers place*

Elijah Breed *I grin at Rio's audacity. Apparently the Elder wanted to play... Using all of my considerable stealth, I break the necks of a couple of goons with a savage twist, then I take the bodies out of sight without making a sound. I place myself by Rio's side and nod. Game on, Rio*

Rio Atanacio *The leader of the operation stood tall among the humans and Breed dealers pacing back and forth in front of the crates stacked neatly on dock. Motioning for Elijah to follow him he made his way towards the red headed male.* Excuse me, por favor. *The male glowered at Rio . {What the hell are you doing here?} Halting at arms length from the Breed* Well my friend. I heard there was a gathering here and I was sent to check your permits.

Elijah Breed *Holding a Glock in each hand I sneer at the Breeds gathered around* I wouldn't attempt to get your weapons if I were you. I'm already pissed off at having to interrupt my weekend plans to deal with your sorry asses... Where are the drugs? Do yourselves a favor and hand them off ...

*A Breed dealer tries to jump on me and I fire one of my Glocks at his head* Now, does anybody else have any more cute ideas?

Rio Atanacio *The group scattered and hid leaving only the carrot topped male to deal with. Propping his foot on the box his fangs flashed and his eyes narrowed.* You know amigo, I know you don't have permits and you're dealing shit that destroys lives. And like my partner I'm none too happy to be here. So, you have a choice. Leave these boxes with us and live or you can die. You decide.

Elijah Breed *I stare at the Breed drug dealer trying to read his expression. We wanted to find out so many things...who was the real boss of this operation and what would be their next move. However I had the strong impression that this breed would not be making things easy for us. I aim my Glock point blank at the center of his forehead* Look, everybody has better things to do than playing Mexican stand off. Hand in the drugs, tell us what we need to know and things will work out fine.

Rio Atanacio *The drug dealer locked eyes with the scarred warrior and pulled out a small silver ball. {Tell your pup to back off. Do you think I'm some wet behind the ear kid? Tell him to drop his gun!} Looking back at Elijah, he ordered him to stand down. When Eli had stepped back into the shadows he turned his attention back to the male.* Interesting little ball. Mind if I take a look? *The male growled {Are you crazy man? You walk into my party and disrupt it and think we are just going to chat like we are old friends?} Chuckling* I"ve been called worse than crazy and I've crashed bigger parties than this. I'm not your friend, I'm the angle of death. * Lunging at the male they fall to the ground. Grasping the man's wrist his squeezes until the ball falls and rolls down the wooden planks. * Eli! Retrieve that silver orb. *His opponent wiggles from beneath him and scrambled for the rolling ball. Grabbing the dealers ankles he directed his death energy into the Beard. There was a brief struggle and then stillness. No sounds but the footsteps of his partner who now stood above him. Releasing his grip, he stood* Careful with that marble bro, we don't want any fire works tonight.

Elijah Breed *Im grabbing the orb absently...another thing has captured my attention. I remove a card that had dislodged from the dead dealer's pocket while he was fighting Rio * WHAT THE HELL? Are you fucking kidding me ? *I flip the card so that my partner can see it.*

Elijah Breed

 

Rio Atanacio *Letting out a deep breath he runs his hands through his hair* Damn. They are really taking roots. *Pocketing the card he and Eli toss the totes in the river.* Let's get out of here. It will soon be sun up. I'm sure Niko Breed will be interested in that little ball your pocket and Lucan will want to know what happened here tonight.

Elijah Breed *Rio's words remind me of the small, shiny orb in my pocket and suddenly I'm curious about why would Niko be interested on it. Taking it out of my pocket I take a good look at it. It seems harmless.* You mean this? What the hell is it anyway?

 

 

Rio Atanacio *Chuckles* You might want to handle that with care and keep it away from your family jewels. It's liquid UV.

Elijah Breed *My eyes widen as I hear Rio's words and then I start laughing heartily* And you tell me just now? Thank God I didn't do anything to activate it... Come on, let's return to the compound. I'm very willing to hand off this little toy to Niko. *Still laughing at what could had been our certain deaths, we get into our vehicle and head back to the compound*
