Alucard reflected back on the few conversations he had held with his new master. She was unlike any other master he had
had to serve, but then again, so was her mother. While she some of her mothers physical traits such as blonde hair, blue
eyes and trim build, she made no effort to hide her femininity. On the contrary, she wore dresses, although none any higher
than her knees, casual shirts and jeans. While she was modest in dress, she still exhibited her female curves, something
her mother strove to hide. Much to his amusement, she had yet to give him a real order. She always said "Please do this" or
"Do this" but never actually ordered him around. As he stood there before Bringo Brothers' Wood Chipping factory, his mind
went back to the first real conversation they had had after he was released.
"So your like a slave." She asked.
"Yes, a slave to my master."
"We hurt you, didn't we?" she asked softly, avoiding his eyes.
He was taken back by the statement. It took him a few extra seconds than normal to reply.
"Yes, you could say that. Excruciating pain would be a better term."
"I am sorry." She said.
Again he was surprised by her statement, and was not sure what to say. A long pregnant silence followed until Mina
broke it with a sigh.
"I will never order you to do anything," she started, "Unless I feel there is a need. All I ask is that you do what I ask to
the best of your abilities. If you feel that you can not complete the task or need something else to help you with it, do
not hesitate to let me know. I may not say yes, but I will keep it in mind."
She paused and peered at him over her square rimmed glasses. He could see the wheels of her mind spinning as she
contemplated what to say next.
"I do have rules that I expect you to follow. If you violate any of these rules, I will turn them into orders. Do you
understand?" she waited for his response.
"And what would they be?" he asked.
"Do you understand Alucard?" she repeated.
"I understand, master." Mina rolled her eyes.
"Rule one: do not enter my bedroom with out permission. As for the office, I see it as an open office, so come when you
like. Three, when out on missions, or just out and about, you are not to drink human blood, got it? I don't care about
medical blood, but leave the innocent humans alone."
Alucard smiled. She all but gave him permission to drink human blood, it just couldn't be an innocent which had so
many meanings. He grinned and asked,
"Is that it?"
"For now."
Humans are truly remarkable. He thought. He shook his head and kicked in the factory door off its' hinges. As soon as he
stepped foot in the door way, he was assaulted with ghouls. A maniac grin stretched his lips into an inhuman smile, bearing
all his teeth. Snarling, he leapt forward, guns blazing. Through the groaning of the ghouls and the loud gun shots, he heard
a voice shout,
"Move it! Get out! The Hellsing Bitch found us! Move! Move! MOVE!"
Laughing insanely, Alucard leapt over the ghouls to the railing over him, then catapulted off that railing to the one above it
and landed in front of a group of vampires. He counted six total. He frowned when he felt very little power emitting from
them.
"Trash." He laughed. "Trash like you thought you could take down a Hellsing?! You have no power!" Step. "You're a bunch of
teenagers." Step "Low lives" step
"You cower behind your pathetic ghouls!" step step "Worthless!!"
He had cornered his prey against the wall with no escape. He was utterly disgusted by this group. Not one of them made
any effort to run or fight back. The two girls in the group sobbed and the boys fidgeted with their guns, trying to get them
out of there holsters. One finally did and fired a shot, hitting him in the shoulder. He laughed and regenerated it with no
effort.
"Such a disgrace." He said before he opened fire.
Not one of them tried to run. They gave into defeat! He was so irate that he put his guns away and ripped the last two to
shreds. He felt a little better after that, but he was still mad as hell. What a waste of time. He thought and then appeared in
Minas' office. She was fast asleep in her chair with her head in her arms. He stepped closer and brushed a lock of hair from
her face. She bolted upright at his touch. He smirked and said,
"Mission completed. Target has been silenced."
"What? Oh, so how did it go? Nothing to threatening I hope." She asked a bit groggily.
"Trash." He stated simply.
"Care to elaborate please?" she asked
"They where teenagers, newly turned, they set up a base there. They did not even attempt to fight back. Not a drop of
power in any of them. Such a disgrace."
"That does not sound right. Why would Johnson hire them? I mean he is not the brightest crayon in the box, none of the
twelve are, but why hire such incompetent teenagers to take me out? Unless…."
" It was most likely a decoy." He finished for her.
"Yes! Crap. We need to…I need to.." she yawned widely into her hand.
"What you need is sleep."
"What are you my father?" she snapped.
"Just making an observation. I am allowed to do that aren't I?"
"Don't get smart with me! But," her voice and face softened, "I think I will get some sleep."
She got up and walked around her desk. She paused in front of him with her back to him.
"Thank you Alucard, good night."
"Good night….Mina."
