At thirty minutes till ten Samine and Xander were sitting in his 1967 GTO at the meeting place. Snow was slowly falling adding to the foot already on the ground. Looking through the windshield they watched as two cars and a truck drove into view. They looked at each other before looking back at the trucks.
"Here we go," Samine muttered as she climbed out and shut the door behind her.
Out of one car stepped Monoclay and two of his muscle bound gang. From the other came more gun toting lugs except a female that walked over to Monoclay and kissed him rather personally. Releasing the woman he walked over to Xander and Samine while she climbed back into the car and shut the door. Samine carefully watched all the armed men while Xander and Monoclay conversed beside her.
"Shall we?" Monoclay asked extending his hand towards her.
Smiling at her he walked towards the truck and pulled back the canvas sheet as Samine and Xander stepped up to look over the edge.
"Everything you wanted in the quantities requested. Plus one Sig Sauer for the beautiful lady."
He held out the weapon to Samine and she slowly ran her hand up the handle to grasp it firmly in her hand and lifted the weapon out of his hand. Switching on the small laser at the side of the weapon she aimed it at a crow that was perched on a tree limb. Turning to one of Monoclay's henchmen the laser point was illuminated directly on his forehead without wavering. Sliding out the clip she nodded in appreciation before looking up at Monoclay and Xander.
"I trust that you go the money you requested amount due?" she asked turning off the laser and held the weapon by her side.
Without answering he looked over towards the car he came in and looked at the woman who had the window rolled down a few inches. She nodded at him and he looked back at the two.
"Yes it just went through."
"You thought we weren't going to pay up. Didn't you Sebastian?" she asked watching him with a sly grin.
"This is my first time dealing with you two. You could hardly blame me."
"True, but hopefully not our last."
"Well, is there anything else that I could find for you or your employer?"
"Actually there is, since you asked. Another employer of ours is looking for a more advanced type of weapon. Along the lines of biological. He wants to know if you handle these or not. If not then we'll just find someone else who can," Xander said looking at Samine then Monoclay.
"Biological weapons? High class weapons. What exactly does your employer want with it?"
"There are just some people that he doesn't really like and wishes to be rid of them. Quickly and quietly. Got anything we could get?" Xander asked looking seriously at Monoclay.
"There is going to be a gathering at my home in Moravia. Tonight. Please, both of you, come," he said spreading his arms to Xander and Samine.
"It would be a divine experience," Samine replied with a seductive smile.
"Marvelous. Talk with Latia, she'll give you the directions and you can tell her where you would like the weapons shipped to. I shall see both of you tonight."
They exchanged the needed information and everyone departed leaving Samine and Xander alone. With a sigh Samine turned and walked towards the car and touched the button to unlock the door on the driver's side. Xander turned at the sound and watched as she pulled open the door.
"Whoa, whoa hold up. What do you think you're doing?"
She looked at her him with a tired look from behind the door as he walked up to her.
"What am I doing?"
"Yes, that is my car that you are about to get into."
"Yeah and I'm stressed out. I need something to clam me down."
"Now wait-"
"Get in the damn car X," she said lifting her arm and propped it on the door pointing the Sig Sauer at his chest.
Xander looked down at the gun and back up at Samine who looked at him with a tired expression. Holding up his hands in mock surrender he backed away and turned to walk to the passenger side. Once he closed the door Samine hit the gas and the car lunged forward in response. He grabbed onto the door handle and looked over at Samine who was handling the car with ease.
"So what do we do now?" he asked still holding onto the handle.
"I'm not sure. He doesn't trust us enough to reveal any information. We need to win over his trust," she muttered watching the road as her mind thought over possibilities.
"How? The only people that he tells everything are the ones he's going to kill."
"Some of them provided valuable information to him and he kind of pulled them under his wing. That would be the harder way to go," she muttered propping her elbow on the arm rest.
Xander looked over at her as an idea crashed into his mind. No, it would be too risky. But it would work. But it might get Samine killed. He perked up at bit at that and mentally slapped himself. She would probably come back from the dead and haunt him to his last days.
"I have a plan."
Samine looked over at him and didn't really like the look on his face. His grin slowly slid across his face and Samine shifted uncomfortably in her seat.
"Why is it that look wants me to say an immediate no? What's your plan?"
"If I tell you it won't work as well. Just trust me and watch your back," he said as Samine stopped the car behind the place they called home.
He climbed out and shut the door and walked towards the door as Samine jogged after him. He ignored her questions as he slowly climbed the stairs with Samine chasing him.
"So are you going to tell me or not?"
"Um, no."
"Prick."
"Bitch."
She growled at him and slammed the door shut. Xander opened one of the metal cases and pulled out one of the goodies that Gibbons always sends with him. Checking out the variety of bullets in the gun he set it on the table and looked at Samine who was watching him.
"Better start getting ready. This evening is going to be one of a kind," he said with a glint in his eye.
