Kraven stared at him a moment, glancing him over. He looked a little bit better than a bum, but there was something…strange to him. He rose an eyebrow at the attire, hoping this boy was as good at his work as he claimed.
"Cult? Oh…maybe…"
Said Kraven, off handedly, making Jason raise his eyebrows.
'Well
that was comforting…' Thought Jason as he moved to sit down.
Kraven licked his lips as he tried to think back to what he was suppose to ask during these sorts of things…it wasn't like they gave interviews in his time, and it wasn't a common thing for their household. Taking a deep breath he moved to stare at Jason, his eyes cold. Maybe he could skip the whole question thing and just take him to the problem in the dojo room. That would be the ultimate test. If he could fix the problem and see the reaction to the weapons and death dealers. He knew what the death dealers reactions would be to Jason, but he could only hope they could hold their tongues until the boy left. Licking his lips again he let his fang scrape his bottom lip…hmmm…He eyed the boy again.
Jason felt like he was being put on display, like one of those dead pigs with the apples in their mouth on the tables of rich people. Although he knew if that were so here, the rich people would probably be drinking out of red-filled glasses. He glanced around the room, trying not to stare back at the man who seemed only interested in staring at him. Was he sure he was looking for a mechanic and not a male stripper or something? Being gay himself glancing this guy over was very confusing. He dressed gay, that shirt was sparkling at him. Eh, who knew.
Finally Jason shifted and cleared his throat, looking at the man.
"Interview…?" he said, giving the man a slightly impatient look.
Kraven's eyes twitched for a moment but that was it, as he moved to stand.
"No. Your interview will be a test. See if you can fix our problem, if you can, then your hired." He said, brushing past Jason as he headed for the door. Kraven turned to look at Jason one more time before opening it.
"You will see some things in here, I expect you to be discreet about. This…is part of your job…" He glanced Jason over one more time before opening the door, leading back out to the part of the house with tons of people drinking red substance from glasses.
'Somebody spike the punch…' Thought Jason as he walked by, trailing behind Kraven.
This time he lead him through another set of double doors, and this room…this room was made of metal, and full of weapons, making Jason raise both his eyebrows. Well this was odd. He had just moved here, and he admitted he didn't know what to expect, but houses with tons of people and weapons…?
He licked his lips. Kraven turned to him, making up an excuse in his head.
"We make and test weapons for certain companies. We expect you to be discreet for there are other companies out to steel our ways of making them, say our silver bullets…" Jason merely nodded, glancing around the room. There were cameras everywhere, as there had been outside and in the main room of the house. Oh well, if there was anything wrong going on here it wasn't like it'd be too hard for some higher power to hack into those cameras, and then they'd just see he was naught but the mechanic. He glanced at the cameras again. That was probably what they were having problems with.
Reaching into his
pocket he fished around for his cigarettes and lighter, glancing at
Kraven.
"Mind if I smoke? I don't feel right playing with
wires if I aint got a cigarette between my fingers."
Kraven merely raised an eyebrow at him but nodded, glancing into the room. So far they had stayed right at the doors, and Kahn nor anyone else had noticed. Kravens inner coward wanted to just leave Jason there for them to deal with, but he knew what would happen if he did, so taking a deep breath, he took a step forward, grabbing Jason's arm and leading him into the room.
Kahn's eyes automatically shifted to the door of the dojo room, feeling a presence he had not known before approaching. A human. Kraven was leading in a human to their training room! A furry built deep within Kahn. Kraven had done many unwise things in his day that had made his blood boil before but this…this was unbelieveable. That human was being exposed to the very soul of the vampires, and Kraven was holding his arm and leading him into it.
His fiery gaze fallowed them, as many other death dealers, thank the gods for Kraven's sake Selene not included, as Kraven lead him over to the middle of the dojo room.
"Now the problem is theres some sort of short or something up there, in the ceiling main, it connects the cameras and the heating system beneath it, the main room has been without heat and the cameras in here on the left side of the room have been black for about a week." Explained Kraven, giving a slight domineering glance at the all the vampires staring at him disbelievingly. He would deal with them later.
Jason took a long puff of his cigarette and licked his lips, looking into the ceiling.
"Hmm…how sturdy are those pipes under that part of the ceiling?" He asked, looking at Kraven.
Kraven shrugged, looking at the pipe.
"I don't know, people have sat on them before if that's what your asking." Jason nodded, moving to pull his pants up and took a deep breath. With a leap and a flip on a middle bar Jason landed on the pipe a good ten feet in the air, leaving stunned vampires below him. He gave a harsh punch with his left arm and one of the square ceiling parts popped in. Licking his left fingers he put the cherry of his cigarette out and stuffed it in his pocket, crawling up so at least his torso was in the ceiling. Reaching back inside his pocket he pulled out his mini flashlight and took a peek down the rest of the ceiling. There was about seven to eight wires tied together.
"Milord, I have to question your motives on this one…" Said Kahn, his eyes ice blue in his vampric fury. Kraven looked at him with a matching anger.
"You're the one who complained for three months about the system not working! Now he's here to fix it! And get use to him too, he's here to fix everything from the camera's to the car problems!" Hiss Kraven, his own eyes going blue.
Kahn sneered at him, Rigel coming up behind him.
"As a human? Why didn't you just call down one of the scientist from the base?"
Kraven's fury grew as more vampires approached to question his methods. He was Regent, Dammit! One step under the damn elders, and they were the only ones who were allowed to question his motives!
With an angry snarl he pushed Rigel out of his way.
"Jason stays, for tonight or for eternity! Unless Amelia or Marcus themselves says different, is that in any way unclear!?" He hissed, turning now to all of the vampires who had gathered around. The death dealers looked away, going back to what they were doing.
Jason peered down at the people beneath him.
"Hey, I need someone to go and try and turn on the cameras, if there's a bust in the wires I can rewire it or I can just put in a new one but I need to know where the problem is first…and I cant do that if its not on…"
If you've ever had an odd feeling when someone is looking at you, just some odd person you don't know, multiply that by twenty and that was what Jason felt when at least ten sets of vampire eyes fell on him. Even though Jason had no idea they were vampires, he felt like an insect to them.
Kahn, eyes still blue from his anger, now angered at Kraven pushing one of his death dealers around, protective of all under his command, glanced up at human in the ceiling.
Jason gave a slight grin down at him
"Acrobatics in high school, can you flip the switch for me?" Explained Jason as to how he got up there so easily. Kahn glanced at him again and then Kravens still ignorant face as he stormed out of the room, needed to cool off.
