76 Quick retrea (1/2)
Dante backed quickly through the narrow ally thankful of the darkness that helped hide his features and large droves of people that helped mask his scent. He kept his eyes on the wolf and large man as they made fast work of the area. He let out a curse when his phone rang. Picking it up as quickly as he could so the ring didn't draw attention he hissed into the phone. ”What the fuck do you want now? I thought I told you I was busy! You know doing that thing you sent me here to do!”
[The big guy from the picture, is he still around?] Xavier asked anger outweighed the concern in his tone tremendously.
Dante gritted his teeth as he watched the hulking man in question turn toward his direction. ”Yes, him and that fucking male wolf brat are following me as we speak.”
Muffled curses sounded over the phone before Xavier spoke again. [Get out of there now. You'll have to find a different time to grab the bitch.]
Dante held the phone away from his ear giving it a 'WTF' glare before placing it to his ear as he continued to moved down the dark ally. ”Fuck that, I'm leading these assholes away from the crowds and dealing with this shit now.”
Xavier let out a string of profanities again. [He's a fucking demigod, Dante! They are both fucking demigods, him and his fucking twin brother! You wouldn't stand a chance, especially if he's been training the boy.]
Dante scrunched his brows as he stopped and studied the profile of the man in question. The man did look vaguely familiar but how? He shook his head and turned. ”What the hell are you talking about?!” He asked as he began walking quicker through the ally heading for a small road that ran behind it.
Xavier let out a breath of exasperation. [The big man from the picture you sent earlier is THE ORION! As in Orion the hunter, the giant huntsman, demigod, son of Poseidon... fuck look in the sky the man has a goddamn constellation named after him! A reward from his favorite fucking uncle ZEUS!!!! You just as well rip your own heart out and hand it to him now if you're even thinking about fighting him!] The sounds of Xavier's heavy foot steps reverberated in the phone as he paced the floors.
Dante glared over his shoulder at the man in question, they were no where to be seen. That didn't stop Dante. He quickly jumped over a motorbike leaning against a building and sat on it while it idled. ”So I have to wait until they leave. That's my problem, why are you so worked up?”
A loud bang sounded. [Because that asshole's brother is the one who took off with Joslyn and has been working as 'security' for the goddamn U.S vampires! He's a demigod too, a fucking warhorse! It's not coincidence I guarantee! He wasn't there as a damn bodyguard! Either the U.S clan is up to something or the council suspects something.]
Dante continued looking around making sure the wolf and man in question hadn't snuck up yet. ”So what do you suggest I do?”

[Lay low, keep an eye on them and the first open opportunity you get to snatch the girl, DO IT! They must be worth more than we originally thought if the council has sent two of their best weapons to protect them and their friends.]
Dante smiled, ”Sounds interesting...” He slammed the hamlet down onto his head and hung up the phone. He shifted the bike into gear and shot down the street without looking back.
”The trail ends here. You can shift back now if you want.” Orion tossed the clothes onto the ground in front of Russ. ”Do you recognize the scent?”
Russ quickly shifted back into human form. Still bent over pulling his pants up he answered, ”Yes, but I can't tell you exactly who it was. I have smelt them before, though.”
Orion clasped him on the shoulder. ”Well done, kid... well done.” His eyes scanned the area as he gave Russ praise. ”Whoever it was, got spooked apparently and took off on a bike or some other small vehicle.” He pointed down the road, ”He took off that way. It's in the opposite direction as the palace, so it could have just been a journalist or something.” He remarked. He glanced over at Russ, who was now standing fully dressed. ”Let's head back, kid. We have an early fight in the morning.”

Shelly paced nervously back and forth by the enormous front entry. ”What could be taking them so long. Do you thing they are ok?” Shelly's worried eyes darted back and forth from Rin to his mom.
