Henry Fitzroy was furious, yes he had been angry before but never to this extent. As he sat down on the couch in Vicki's office he glared at the emerald eyes in front of him with anger, hatred and contempt. He had told Vicki he hated magic for a reason so what does she go and do? She takes a case that involves a wizard!

Looking around the room he caught the sight of detective Celluci who was amused, judging by the smirk that he was wearing he knew that the wizard was rubbing Henry up the wrong way and he was enjoying it.

Just as Henry was going to demand that the wizard left Vicki had walked in with a cup of coffee, looking at the room she glanced at the young man sat in front of her desk and Henry's anger and tension. Sitting down in her chair she addressed the young man

"How may I help you Mr?"

A charming smile was sent her way which sent the hackles of both Mike and Henry to stand up

"Its Harrison but most people call me Harry."

He placed a kiss on her knuckles before sitting back in the chair and ignoring the two growling men Vicki could feel the tension was mounting and Vicki wanted to defuse it but Harry beat her to it

"My apologise I didn't mean to upset your companions, and I most certainly didn't mean to lead you on Miss Nelson. I first and foremost gay so I will not pursue a relationship with you."

Vicki leant back in her chair with a sigh of relief, Mike and Henry both deflated. They had been so certain that he would of tried to make a move on Vicki and they both knew that neither of them would of stood a chance against the young wizard and they knew that he knew that. Vicki looked at the young man in front of her and asked

"What can I do for you Harry?"

Harry smiled and pulled out a file and passed it to Vicki while speaking

"A old friend and Lover of mine went missing a few weeks ago, I believe that he is hiding from me for some unknown reason. We had a fight and he took off we said some things that neither of us will ever be able to take back, but I would like to know that he is safe then I will leave him alone."

Vicki flipped through the folder and glanced back at the Youngman in front of her before asking

"How old are you?"

Harry gave a dark laugh before speaking

"My age why I am twenty five."

Right there and then the three of them knew that he was lying about his age, Henry could smell power and age on the young wizard in front of him but he couldn't place the power. It smelt potent and dangerous it was almost alluring as if it was calling to him, singing to him.

Henry had heard of this before, it was very rare a mate a true soul mate for a vampire was rare one in a million type rare. It floored Henry that the young wizard that was sitting in front was his mate the one person he despised was his mate, Henry felt like groaning at fates irony only he could have a mate that he despised.

Unaware to the turmoil running through Henry, Harry smiled at Vicki and spoke

"As for payment I will give you a total of $300,000 if you can give me a location, if you can tell me the location and that he is safe I will give you a further $300,000 as a final payment and of course there is your expenses so for that I will give you a extra $100,000."

If there had ever been a time when Vicki had been shocked and stunned it was now, who the hell could afford that much for one person! Even Henry was looking at the man with no little shock how much money did this one person have?

Vicki knew that she needed the money now more than ever, sure the cases were good but not many people could pay well. But here was a case that would pay her way for a at least a year maybe two! She knew that she would be a fool to turn it down, but she also had the sinking feeling that it might be the first and last time that he would be here she hoped that she was wrong, little did she know that fate was smiling down on Vicki this day and would grant her a small respite for once.

Standing up she held her hand out for Harry to take, standing up Harry placed a kiss on the back of Vicki's hand before walking out of the room and speaking

"It was a pleasure doing business with you Miss Nelson, should you ever need any help please don't hesitate to call me here is my card."

With that he walked out of the office humming a tune to himself, Vicki turned to Henry and Mike and spoke

"I get the feeling that it wont be the last time that we see Harry."

Mike and Henry both nodded as Mike turned to Henry and says

"A temporary truce, I have the feeling with young Harry that things will be very interesting for a very long time."

Henry looked at Mike and could sense the truth and sincerity behind the words as he replied

"I agree, for now there is a truce for now."

With that the two temporary partners shook hands and left the office.
