I do not own Hellsing or its character. I did however thought up the Eddie Mann character.
Story is set after the end of anime.
------------------------------
Eddie quickly slipped into police uniform, cocked the round into his SIG and put it back into holster without flicking the safety.
''Is uniform OK?''
Victoria gave a look:''It's OK you just need to straighten it up a bit.''
''No time for that.''
He put a trench coat over uniform, and threw a cap into bag.
''I hope they are still as pathetic as they were the last time I met them.''
As Eddie was starting his rover, he pondered. Most likely are iscariots the ones that are following Margaret. MI5 and Special Branch are too good to make their presence obvious so soon. Iscariots on the other hand are full of zealots and fruitcakes. Moping behind them must be a hell of job he mused. One thing is certain, they are going after source that, they think, could yield some of the Hellsing secrets. He ain't going to gallantly defend the damsel in distress, he's going to do hit and run attack, destroying his enemies, Margaret will look after herself.
Once in London, he went straightforward to their usual meeting point, hoping she'll be there. She was and so were the Judas Priests. It was easy to separate them from the normal people. He quickly done the latex gloves, for it is critical not to leave any incriminating evidence that could land him in prison.
Margaret saw him. At their meeting he told her that if she is threatened and he is near, all she has to do is to lead the danger into some desolate point and he will do the rest. She gave him no sign, but picked her purse and went toward woman toilet. Eddie saw that and went towards other corner. No one gave him any attention and with his side vision he could se iscariot talking into mobile phone, Yes whatever they are up to, they are going to do it now. Around the corner he threw down the trench coat and pulled the cap out of bag. Now he was police officer Andrew Martins. He applied earplugs, put the trench coat into bag and went to lavatory space. Once there, everything went slow motion.
Two iscariots who were guarding the door to the woman toilet gave a surprised look when they saw a policeman.
''Why are you two guys guarding the doors to woman lavatory?''
One of the guys reached in his pocket while Eddie drooped his bag:'' Scotland Yard, here is my ID.''
Eddie new the trick. The first will show the ID just before his eyes effectively blinding him while the other pulls his weapon and snuffs him. So while iscariot was bringing the ID towards him, he sprang into action, simultaneously kicking the guy into balls and punching him into adams apple. After the punch his right arm continued its arc to the left sleeve, where he pulled out the throwing dagger, fling it into iscariot that was bringing his weapon towards him and at the pointblank range, hit him into eye. Piercing scream warned the other two assailants that something is wrong. Eddie didn't break his movement but was calling his weapon out of holster and kicking the doors. For a moment he saw the struggle. One guy was behind Margaret holding her by neck, the other was reacting to threat, turning towards him and drooping the shocker he intended to use. Too late. There was not more than two meters between them, so there was no way Eddie could miss. He pulled the trigger and the HP bullet tore up iscariots abdomen. Using the recoil to his advantage, he brought his pistol to head level and sent second round just bellow mans left eye. The other iscariot tried to pull his pistol and use Margaret as human shield at the same time, yet Margaret pulled his left hand with all her weight throwing him off balance. With neatly unveiled right side, Eddie shot the man in the head, cleaving off the top of his skull, while the second shot went through the neck and the main artery. Eddie turned and shed his mercy on two iscariots in front of doors. The kicked one was on his knees and was reaching with one hand towards weapon but he shot him in the back. He ran towards his bag lifted it and gave than each one a mercy shot in the head. He won, engagement lasted only few seconds, jet he still had to hurry to escape police. In lavatory he threw the bag to the window and went to Margaret who was sitting in a ever bigger puddle of blood, shocked.
''Will you wait for police?''
She nodded.
''Don't tell it was me then,'' he smiled,''see you later.''
She went for her purse while he jumped over the puddle towards the window. He peered through and there was mini van and it's driver, obviously iscariot. Eddie took usual two-handed-grip aim while iscariot fired single-handedly from hip level and hit the wall. Eddie took him in shoulder and then he put another one in his chest. The man went down. Eddie now threw the bag through the window, quickly cleared the glass from the ledge and the frame, and climbed through it into the back alley. Behind the wan he quickly took off bloody shoes and trousers and put on his snickers and the trench coat. On the street he effortlesly mingled with people and wanished from the scene. Meanwhile, Margaret finally managed dial with her shaking fingers.
''Hi John can your company send a crew, a bloody shootout...
----------------------
Bloodbath in public library, screamed radio in Eddies London hideout. Apartment was rented by young blonde named Jennifer Brigcraft (Victoria with forged ID) so the police couldn't connect it with him, if they figured out shooters true identity. Which was kinda hard since he was sure he didn't leave any real evidence and was also sure that Margaret would not give them his name, but still the caution is mother of survivors. Yet five corpses is nothing for Division XIII, and he lost his ''media expert''. He needed more than this little fire fight. But first of all, he had to get rid of all threats.
------------------------
Victoria had burned incriminating clothes and threw the pistol in Thames. Now she was prowling around Margarets apartment. She located three surveillance teams and carefully studied first their fields of sight and second possible aproaches to the apartment. They were all covered, execpt one that was obviously reserved for birds. And creatures with unhuman abilities like herself.
------------------------
Margaret filled another glass. She prided herself to have stomach made of iron, yet she was proven otherwise again. She realized that this was not just another power game, but dead serious affair in which her life is of no worth. He told her how dangerous this is and she should belive him, considering the loss of life at the Tower. Yet her blasted ambitions...
Suddenly she felt someone was in room.
As the woman turned and saw her, Victoria gave the universal ''keep your mouth shut'' signal. She sat herself at the dark end of the table. Her arms penetrated into light. One of needed skills for D11 medic was also signal language for deaf, however she only made through basics before the fateful mission.
Margaret sighted. The red eyed girl was obvious beginner, so lot of spelling was neded to get the words through, but they were finally over. She handed her a piece of paper and left, without making a slightest noise. Fortunately he didn't intended to get rid of the eyewitness permanently, but just for a while.
------------------------------------------
Victoria was less than satisfied with her performance:''I made complete ass of myself''
''Did she understood what you meant?''
''I guess so.''
''Well that's what counts. There are no extra points for style in this buisnes.''
''If you say so. Is it back to normal routine now?''
''Yes. I will be moving rest of the stuff here, while you do your usual night recon.''
''And what is the point of all this? I don't see how all of this is going to get Sir Integral out of her cell.''
''We must wait for right moment and provoke Iscariots into doing something stupid. Bungled mayor Iscariot operation or even direct action against Round table would maybe be enough to get the point to the table that Iscariots are danger to queen and country, and that Hellsing is needed. We need information to do the right thing, in right place, on right time.''
And some help from above would be more than welcome, he thought for himself.
