Royce paced about her small home office, her hands running through her hair...or occasionally she straightened up piles of papers that didn't need straightening. She was doing her damnest to not just rush out. Her one major flaw had always been letting her emotions get ahold of her and guide her. She couldn't do it anymore...she had a family to think about.
A low growl slid from her lips as time ticked on, and hearing her phone finally ringing, she nearly gave a whoop in relief. She snatched it up, and before she could even say her usually 'Royce'...Azrael had cut in.
She slid down on her chair, realizing she was trembling. "I dunno Az...all I know is ya need ta get yer ass back here..pronto. Mika called quite awhile ago..said that th' Russian bastards had taken off with Draven. She told me she was headed ta th' east end...gave me some descrips for a white van with their license plate. I haven' been able to pick up shit. I've been tryin' ta call her back...but she hasn't answered, an' now it just goes straight ta voicemail...which means she's probably not gettin' a signal. An' I've just got a ...REALLY bad feelin'...somethin's not right. She went in there alone...she said they were headed for some warehouses..but damn..do ya know how many warehouses are on th' east end?! I really dunno what ta do short o' chasin' after her myself. I can't pick up a satelite on them..which means they're probably hidden by now..please..jus' tell me what I'm supposed ta do..."
It was obvious the frustration, anger, desparation, and complete fear that Royce was feeling right now as she just spilled out those words.
~~~~~~~~~
Mika managed to lift her head, giving Draven a rather drugged up look. "If I can get some fuckin' strength back...get m'feet up on th' ceilin' an' yank th' damn plate from th' ceilin...but I need ta feed..."
Her gaze moved to the door, her head resting against her arms as she stared. "How often do they come in here? An' is it more than one?"

How long she had been out was unknown to her. Eyes slowly opened and once focused, she took stock of her surroundings. For a brief moment she thought she was back at home with Dimitri but something seemed off and out of place. Maybe it was the sight of Ted hanging next to her eh? " Ted! I thought you were a goner for sure. " It was only when she attempted to move that she discovered the full scope of her situation. The rattle of chain drew her eyes up towards her wrists and she began to thrash violently only to immediately settle down. It seemed the game had taken a new turn, one of waiting. Ah well, patience was something she had learned long ago.

”you won’t find them. The Russian higher ups are careful, very careful. You want to find them start looking at the bottom of the ladder. Or possibly the middle. Get on your computer and find me a man named Ivan Volkav. Mid level numbers runner with his dirty lil fingers in a lot of dirty lil pies. Find me an address on him and I will start the ground pounding when I get back in the gate. Pulling his phone from his ear he looked to the time before speaking once again. ” I’ll be on the ground at JFK in three hours. You have that long. Azrael went to hang up but paused. “Oh and Royce. You handle the Intel on this one. I will do the foot work. I don’t want you getting yourself caught too. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ”I haven’t seen any of them in here since I came too. My guess is Big bald and nasty’ll be the one to come in, when and if we get a visitor. He gave his legs a kick causing his body to swing as he looked up to the chain that held him aloft. though if this one knows his stuff we will be hanging here for quite a while before he tries to extract any info from us. …. Unless of course we are just bargaining chips, in which case we’ll only be given as much attention as it takes to keep us alive. And given our unique conditions I don’t think that we’ll be getting much at all.

the door to Lilah’s room open and victor stepped within. He had changed clothes he was wearing an expensive pair of dark charcoal slacks and a black wife beater. In his left hand was a small black box. Moving Past Lilah just out of her reached out with his right hand and gave Ted a push sending the stuffed bear swinging. Looking back to Lilah his face held no emotion .
”Little one, why did you come to my warehouse? Do you work for Alcazar and Grey?”

She had been considering the best way to get ouf of those shackles when the door opened. Her tongue felt like a thick wad of cotton in her mouth and she was hungry. Immediately she scented the wolf and muttered softly to Ted, " Well, that didn't take long. " She eyed Victor as he entered the room and passed her beyond her reach to give a push to the bear. " Hey! Pick on someone your own size! " She aimed a kick in his direction knowing it would fall well short of its mark. She had to settle down in order to hear that question and the look she gave him was one of genuine confusion. " Who? " She shook her head and gazed innocently at him. " I followed the Pretty Lady. She my friend and we were playing a game. " She sighed, but then her gaze hardened as she tugged once more at her restraints. " You din't hurt the Pretty Lady did you? "

"No little one. Your Pretty lady is fine. She and I are playing a game also." A large hand reached out to stop the bear from its swinging and remained there to steady it though he remained well out of her range. " Your pretty lady friend, Mika they call her. did she tell anyone else you were out playing this game of yours tonight?"

She watched as she watched him steady Ted, her own struggles ceasing as the bear stopped swinging. She squinted, brows drawing together as she thought. " ummmm ... " Features smoothed as she shrugged as best as those chains would allow. " I dunno. I din't think to ask if anyone else was playing with us. " Fingers wrapped around the chain and with feet together she kicked forward then drew her legs back to set her own body in motion as if she were on a swingset. She looked at him around her arm as she sway back and forth. " Are others s'pose to be playing with us? " Oh, that wasn't such a good idea. The drug still lingering in her system combined with her swinging made her slightly dizzy and nauseas.

“No, this game is for no one but us. Reaching out a large hand he settled it across Lilah’s abdomen to stop the swinging as he let his eyes lock onto hers. The look they held was purely predatory “After all we can have so much more fun, when we do not have to worry about her friends interrupting us. “ Victor hit a button on the remote he held as the a metal clanking began from above Lilah a pulley in the ceiling drawing in some of the chain and lifting her form further from the floor stopping only when she was at eye level with him…

Royce paced about as she listened to Azrael and his orders. She smirked a bit, shaking her head. "I dun plan on gettin' caught by anyone. Jus' find m'cousin, Az..an' I'm in yer debt..."
She sighed a bit, rolling her head about on her neck. "Call when ya hit JFK...I'll look up yer man Volkav an' get what I can.. An' be careful...dun need ya disappearin' on me too. What would I tell Xavier?"
She gave a faint smile, and finally hung up with Azrael. She slid the phone onto the desk next to the massive computer system she had accumulated over the last few months since the whole Elijah thing, and cracked her knuckles. It was going to be a long night..that was for sure.
She sat down, and began throwing out false traces before diving beneath them all to search for what was needed. Unless trackers were....very very extremely good at what they did, it would be extremely hard to get a lockdown on Mrs. Royce Souji.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mika gave a bit of a growl. "Well fuck..tha' dun help me any. Damn it..Az...why didn' ya fuckin' answer yer phone..."
She gave a soft sigh, laying her head against her arm again as she stared at the doorway......then her head jerked up and she looked to Draven. "Royce....I called her...she knows I was chasin' after ya'll...we're not totally...lost."

Hanging up the phone with Royce he would dial another number. Nabunaga Oda was the highest ranking Yakuza in the united states. He had set up shop in NYC and when the gate opened he remained. He and Azrael had know each other for many years, Originally meeting in Japan back when Oda was just a boy. It had been months since he had heard from the vampire and Oda was more than a little surprised seeing Azrael’s number pop up on his caller ID. ”Zhan Shi I must say I was not expecting a call from you tonight.” “And I was not expecting to make this Call Oda San, but I need you to repay a favor owed.” “knowing you as well as I do, I hesitate to ask what this favor may be, but regardless I shall repay the debt I owe. However when it is done we are once again on even ground Zhan Shi” “I know Oda San, but I still need you to find some information for me. I need to know where the Russian’s would keep two Assets if they wanted to out of my reach. They haven’t had time to get them out of the city, so have your boys hit the street and see what they can dig up. “It shall be done Zhan Shi.” Hanging up the phone Azrael made his way towards the back of the plane and began getting ready for work. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * “Well darlin that means one of two things. Either we still have hope, or we’re about to be having a cell mate. Hopefully we got hope cause this room is already a little more crowded than I would like.”

She was relieved when he stopped her swinging. Now that the sick feeling was going away she raised her eyes to meet his. She held his gaze as her body was raised by those chains and a smile formed on her lips. " Finally a game I can get into. " Her voice grew husky and an almost feral purr laced her words. She noted that he might be close enough to just touch with a foot if she stretched her leg. " This is a game I have not played in quite some time. " Without warning she drew her legs back and kicked towards him, her goal not to kick him but to wrap her legs around his waist. It was at these times that her mind became cleares, a fact that was quite apparent. " I pray you do not disappoint. " Delilah knew that as long as Victor played with her the Pretty Lady would be safe, or at least she hoped so.

"Aha! Got ya , ya lil' bugger..."
Royce pulled out a pen and began to scribble away the information she found on the address of the Volkav guy, and stood up to stretch. Her head twisted slowly around, and she moved out of her little office to check on her kids and Kenji...all of them still fast asleep. She smiled softly, and went to the kitchen, fixing herself some coffee, before moving to the door. She opened it and stepped out, letting herself get a feel for the breeze. She needed fresh air..to cool herself off.
The temptation to slide back into the reckless way of life she once held was great, but so far she was holding back, proud of herself for doing so. She just simply kept her family in the foremost of her mind. "Damn you, MJ...ya better be alright..." She murmured softly to herself....
~~~~~~~~~~
A slight tinge of worry crept into those now yellowed hues as she stared at Draven. "Christ..I didn' think...." She wiggled a bit, feeling the bulk of her cellphone against her leg in the pocket. "Fuck...I gotta smash this thing before...shit!"
She growled at her own stupidity.

Azreal had made it back to his seat, dressed in his coat and weapons his eyes fixed on the image of the Gate as it grew closer. In his mind this damn jet could not move fast enough. Pulling free his phone he dialed Royce once again. "What did you turn up?"* * * * * * * * * * [/center] "which pocket Mika?"with a strong kick of his legs Draven's Body began to swing back and forth.

Royce jerked as the phone rang, and yanked it out of her pocket, flipping it open. She smirked a bit. "He wasn' hard ta find...downtown...th' address is..."
She spouted off the address she had on him, before giving him two others. "Those are also places he's known ta stay at on occasion. What else ya got for me ta do?" She was getting antsy.
~~~~~~~~~
Mika twisted slightly, her left side to Draven as she tried to twist herself again, letting her right leg lift a bit. "Right pocket...shit..can ya get it?"

A snarl moved to victor's lips as the woman was sold bold as to touch him.. A growl rolling from his thoat he pushed her form from his both hands. the force of the movement causing her form to swing wildly, the momentum however stopped as quickly as it began when Victor Spun his body sending a powerful roundhouse to the Woman's stomach.
Your desire for pain is strange little one. But everyone has a breaking point. Perhaps it is time we start looking for yours dah?"
