"Jessie." A voice boomed into the mansion. A young woman in the weapons room looked up with her crystallized ebony eyes showing bewilderment. A young man over in the corner looked up as well and chuckled.
"What did you do now, Jessie thats got Thierry yelling for you again?" His green eyes twinkled.
"Shut up, Galen." Jessie sighed and tossed back her long dark hair. "Hes been yelling at me alot recently. I hope Hannahs around this time"
"Yeah she sure does have a calming influence on him." Galen grinned at her. She shook her head at him.
"Hey when Keller gets back tell her i want a rematch with her"
"Will do"
Jessie walked out of the room and down two stories taking her time knowing that it would just make Thierry madder for waiting but if he was going to yell for her for the whole mansion to hear then he could wait for her. She sighed wondering what she was going to get yelled at for this time. It seemed each time she came back to the mansion that he yelled at her for something she did. She had a system of the way she did things and she didnt care if it didnt fit in with Thierry's ideas. If he didt like it then her should get someone else to do it. The only problem with that was that noone could do what she did, this was what she had been trained for her whole life.
She knocked on the door to Thierry's office then walked in without waiting for a response.
"Yo, Thierry you wanted to talk to me?" Jessie shut the door behind her nodding to Hannah who sat next to Thierry behind his desk. Hannah smiled back then leaned over and put her hand on Thierry's shoulder. Showing support as well as keeping him calm. Jessie smiled then sat down in the chair directly in front of the desk. "So what did I do this time. Blow something up the wrong way or do something else that you dont think I did right"
"No," Thierry spoke looked at Hannah then stood up and walked around his desk. " We have another one for you"
"Thats why you blared my name all over the mansion to tell me you have another job for me. What the hell were you thinking, that I would just jump at the chance to help you when you spread my name around like a whore." Jessie stood up as well. Her eyes flashed with anger. They stood face to face both mad enough to spit.
"Well its not like you'd come if asked politely." Thierry growled.
"How would you know you've never tried." Jessie said softly. Thats when Hannah stepped in.
"Okay okay, Enough you two. We are busy enough fighting the Night World we dont have the time or patience to fight each other." Hannah stepped between the two of them. Then she turned to Thierry and pointed to his chair behind his desk. He glared at her, Hannah just arched her eyebrow and he went and sat down. Then she turned to Jessie. Picking up the folder off of Thierry's desk she handed it to Jessie. "Here is you next target. His name is Devon Redfern, he is an illegitamate but is considered the Prince of the Night World for his good looks, and his charm or so they say. We already sent in two agents but neither of them have come back. Were sending you in to capture and get information of the Night Worlds plans then to kill him." Hannah looked back at Thierry and he continued. "Same rules apply as all the other times. He has no family, and he is ruthless. We can almost connect him to at least 3 murders and several tortures that gained information leading towards defeats for us"
"Wait..." Jessie leaned forward flipping through the information on Devon. "You said almost, you mean you cant garuantee that this guy did that stuff"
"We are pretty sure that hes behind some of the stuff but we do only have speculation. He hides behind a pretty boy face, and we cant get solid proof that he was there only guesses. But that doesnt matter rumors are sometimes all that we have to go on and they still prove accurate. You know that as well as I do. We do have proof that he is looking for something or someone and we want to know what it is. We have to have Silver Starr go after him"
"No, I wont do it." Jessie set down the folder on Thierry's desk then walked towards the door.
"Then will you atleast go down there and look into this for us. Noone else has any of your experience with this kind of thing." Thierry asked her. Jessie stopped and looked back at him.
"Experience with what exactly, Silver Starr is nothing but an assassign and a thief. My gifts were trained specificly for this due to the life that I led prior to Circle Daybreak. What exactly is it you want from me?" Jessie spoke calmly but with anger vibrating in an under tone. "I want you to go down and find out exctly what this vampire is up to, so that we dont have any suprises that end up killing someone else." Hannah spoke soothingly, and without malice hitting towards Jessie's soft spot with her desire to avoid more lives dying.
"Fine I will go, then after this mission Silver Starr is retiring and I will stay help and train here at the mansion unless I specifically ask for something away. Are we clear?" Jessie spoke forcefully. Outside a storm started brewing, angry clouds full of rain pounded on the roof, the wind howled around the house angrily trying to tear something apart.
"But..." Thierry tried to say something but Hannah spoke up instead over riding him.
"Ok deal. This is your last assignment unless you specifically ask for something outside the mansion." Hannah spoke softly and waited while the rain outside calmed and Jessie forced herself to calm down and get control of her surroundings.
"I'll leave tomorrow." Then Jessie walked out, outside into the rain and past the protection field disapeering into the night. She reapeered that morning outside the mansion, everything she needed had already been loaded into a black lambogini mersalado. Waiving goodbye to those who came out to say goodbye, Galen Keller and Hannah, then drove west. In the files she found on the passenger seat the address of the apartment she was staying was in a good side of town in LA. In the folder Jessie also found a picture of Devon, she whistled softly then laughed.
"Now I know why everyone calls him the Prince of the Night World, that is one hot man." The picture was of a dark haired fair skinned man with dark emerald eyes and lucious lips. Jessie smiled and her eyes gleamed. "I am going to have fun"

LA was hot and muggy, but the night life was always hopping. Jessie took a shower at the house then headed downtown. She found an old haunt of hers still up and running so, dressed to kill in black leather pants and a red silk halter top, she walked into The Silver Blood. "Wow this place is still packed." Jessie whispered under her breath. She had to shove her way there but eventually she made it to bar. "A sex on the beach." Jessie ordered from the bartender and slipped some money across the bar. Turning around she viewed everyone in the room. The room was a whole mix of nightworlders enjoying the night life. Occasionaly Jessie could sense a human, but in her mind if they were stupid enough to get mixed up with these people they deserved what happened to them, it was only the ones taken by force that made her mad and fight back. She knew what it was like to be taken and forced to live a life you dont want. Shaking off the past Jessie turned and picked up her drink, a vampire about 5'10" blonde hair and brown eyes walked up to her.
" Hey babe, you alone tonight?" His voice was husky but it was pitched wrong. He was up to no good. "No me and my boy are here to party. I'm just waiting for him to come back." Jessie spoke in a sweet toned voice.
"Ah thats too bad sweetheart, but maybe you and I could just leave without him knowing." The blonde vamp was sincere in that he wanted to get her alone, but why then it hit her. Jessie's sent to other nightworlders was that of a human not a witch. "Oh I dont know. Devon wouldnt be very happy with me if I left this spot." Jessie smiled at the vamp, he froze up.
"Your dudes Devon Redfern. Well ok then you just stay right here." Then he left quickly. Everyone around Jessie slowly started moving in the other direction as word got around that Devon Redfern's girl was at the bar. So when Devon walked in later on and was told by several people that his girl was waiting for him at the bar he was a little suprised.
"My girl?" Devon was astounded. He didnt have a girl, and he had come tonight to get information. It looked like he wasnt going to get it until he got rid of this girl. So walking through the crowds, he didnt even notice anymore that people moved out of his way automatically, his first sight of this girl was long legs encased in black leather, then a slim torso, a handful of red encased chest and long dark hair. She was sitting alone drinking, so he slided up to her and sat down on the stool next to her and waited to see what her reation would be, and if she even recognized him. Jessie felt the presence next to her and glanced, she almost sighed with relief it was Devon. She recognized him from the pictures, it was about time that he showed up she was tired of all the stares she'd been the recipient the last hour.
"Who are you?" Devon leaned down and whispered directly into her ear. A shiver went through her and he smiled. "At least I havent lost my touch, huh sweetheart"
"Its not like you would have come and seen me if I hadnt lied to everyone." Jessie said irritably then leaned back into him so it looked like they were embrasing. "Do you have somewhere where we can talk privately?" She smiled up at him, and he grinned down at her everone around them sighed then went about their own business, for the girl hadnt been lying. "Follow me." He stood and waited while she stood and faced him. God she was beautiful, long dark hair framing a gorgeous face with dark obsidian eyes. He held out his hand and waited, hesitantly she took his hand. He was absolute perfection, dark emerald eyes and dark hair with a strong visage. Oh he had absolutely kissable lips, that she just wanted to taste. Jessie shook her head where the hell had those thoughts come from, ugh not what she needed right now.
Devon took her outside and to his car silently opening the door for her, going around to the drivers side he got in and started it, then they just sat there.
"So," He said turning to her. " Who the hell are you?" Suddenly he was not the laid back prince, he was really angry. Jessie started laughing.
"I'm sorry. But that was terrible." Jessie laughed then looked over at Devon who glowered at her and she laughed some more then grew serious. "Sorry, I apoligize. I shouldn't have laughed at you"
"Damn right you shouldnt have what is your problem, woman?" Devon was furious not only at her for laughing at him but also at himself for his reaction to the laughter and joy on her face.
"I really am sorry. I have an odd sense of humor I'm told. Now down to business." Jessie was all serious now, and it was Devons turn to laugh.
"Oh honey you are too cute." Devon turned serious too. "But you are right to business. Now who the Hell are you"
"My name is Jessie Machal. I have been looking for you for awhile. You are a really hard person to find." Jessie said with the a small frown. Devon laughed.
"Why are you looking for me?" Jessie looked at him with strange eyes and Devon was getting irritated. Suddenly Jessie just opened the door and left the car.

"Talk to you later." Then she disappeered.

Jessie walked back to her apartment in thought, Devon wasnt what he appeared to be. She smiled at that, neither was she.
