Isara was sitting in the meeting room alone in a chair at the table set up. Her employer was supposed to come in within a few minutes to tell her what her new job would be. While she waited, she was texting Dusk.

Still waiting for the guy to show up, Isara typed in. What are you doing?

I'm on my way to a job as well. I hear that I will have co-workers, he replied.

Hope they won't be too annoying.

Me too. What about you?

I will have one, maybe two tops.

Same here. Any idea who they are?

Nope. You?

Nope. I just arrived at the place.

At the same time, the door opened and Isara looked up to see Dusk walk in. Isara smirked.

"Think I'll be annoying?" she said jokingly.

"Just don't bother me too much and we'll be fine," he said sitting next to her.

They talked for a few more minutes until the door opened again and someone else entered the room. Isara immediately noticed Dusk tense.

"Sanguine," he growled.

The new-comer, who Isara did not recognize, seemed slightly surprised to see them but then masked it with a bright grin.

"Hey Dusk," he said cheerfully, his voice heavy with a Southern accent. American. He was handsome, Isara would admit, with tan skin and a firm jaw line with bright white teeth. He wore scuffed cowboy boots and a brown suit with a pair of sunglasses on his face. The Texan turned his gaze to Isara and his smile widened.

"I don't believe we have met Darlin'. My name is Billy-Ray Sanguine, and you are?"

"Isara," she replied.

"Nice to meet ya Isara; and what a lovely name for a lovely vampire."

Dusk growled at the comment and Sanguine raised his hands. "Don't worry, I'm not gonna steal your pretty little vampire girlfriend, although I could." He smirked at her. "I already got a girl."

"She's not my girlfriend."

"Right…"

Isara frowned slightly at the exchange and Dusk, seeing her confusion, just shook his head slightly in a way that told her not to bother asking. Isara was fine with that. About fifteen more minutes went by, Sanguine sending quick comments and remarks at Dusk from where he was seated across from them while Isara ignored them and played on her phone, until a final individual entered the room.

He was tall, with dark hair and dark eyes and fair skin. His suit was neat and clean and he had an air of business around him that made Isara guess that he was their employer.

"Hello," he said calmly. "I am Amadeus Knight, your new employer. You are here because I need some people taken out quickly and efficiently and I have heard that you can do that for me."

"Sure thing," Sanguine said. "Who do ya need taken out?"

"Five people," he said. "Taylor Ford, David Stark, Andy Forest, John Cage, and Leon Fields. I want them all dead and gone in two weeks."

"Not a problem," Sanguine immediately put in.

Isara and Dusk nodded in agreement.

"Good," Knight grunted and put five files on the table. "Each file has information on one person. It should be more than enough to track them down. Contact me when you have finished and I will pay you."

The briefing finished up after another couple of minutes and the three walked out onto the street together.

"We'll get this guy first," Dusk decided, looking over the folder belonging to Andy Forest. "I heard he's in town right now. We could go and start with the people closest then work out form there."

Isara nodded. "I agree."

"Sure, that'll work," Sanguine checked the time on his phone. "Come on. If we go out now we can get good rooms at a hotel I know. Use it as our base."

Dusk hesitated then grunted. "Fine."

Isara shrugged. "Works for me."

"Great," Sanguine grinned. "Now let's go."
