I look down at my bowl after a few minutes and wonder why it is empty, it was full just a moment ago...

Looking at my watch, I notice that the time is a quarter past seven, two hour since I sat down. I'm wondering where the time went as I get up to leave, when Mero walks in.

"Oh good, you're here, where is two? Go get him up, I'm coming up in 20 minutes" he said as he walked by to sit at the main table, "and be ready, we have business to attend to this morning."

I walked back up to our apartment and close the doors behind me. I then knocked on the partitions to my brother's room.

"What?!" came from the other side of the doors, Pixel had to be in there because she wouldn't have been able to leave last night by herself.

"Mero's on his way up, can you two be decent by the time he gets up here?" I ask with a sigh, my answer is,

"Go away!"

I go into my room and get dressed into the usual attire, 10 minutes later the door bursts open.

Mero walks through looking all in a hurry so I get up from reading my mag and stand with my brother. Ignoring Pixel, he speaks straight to us.

"I have business to deal with at the restaurant, we are leaving in 20 minutes." He said and then turned to Pixel.

"Now you, have you had any progress or am I wasting my money on you?" he likes to get straight to the point,

"You failed to mention that he could control minds," she answers,

"Control? He can bend them, how far he can bend them depends on your programming." He says with a smirk. "Which I am going to add is a little off as it is."

"Well I like it that way," Pixel says with a pout.

"Do you indeed?" he didn't look surprised at her words, "I do expect results from you."

"When I work freelance I don't fail." She said, she sounds so sure of herself, personally I'm starting to think she is just like the rest of us.

"Glad to here it," though he didn't look it, "I want you two downstairs in 10 minutes." I nodded as he left and closed the door behind him.

"If he didn't pay us as much us he did..." I muttered to the ceiling.

"We both feel the same way," my brother sympathizes,

"Make that all three of us," Pixel chipped in, "now can I get another weapon since the freak show stole mine?" she then asked.

"We can help you with that," two said, taking her hand and we walked down to the weapons room. I would really like to know what happened last night, she couldn't have just felt better after I left the room, could she? On second thoughts, I don't want to know.

She chose a double bladed knife this time, looking like one knife to the blind eye, it is actually two knives in one that could be split into two when desired. The blade itself was about eight inches long and slightly curved.

"What do you think?" she asked us both, but I knew the question was really for my brother.

"I think it suites my Pixel fine." He said as he put a hand around her waist.

What. The. Hell. Did. He. Just. Say?! His pixel? Man! They only meet two days ago! I just stared at the two of them as the door opened and a werewolf walked in.

"I found them!" he shouted back out the door and a second later Mero also walked through.

"Ménage trios on your own time, with me now!" Ménage trios on your own time, yeah I wish.

We both followed Mero out the door and two smiled at pixel as the door closed behind us. We walked into the restaurant and I looked up. One of the other freelance bounty hunters was standing in the middle of the room waiting to see us.

"So, you have something for me I understand?" Mero asked the bounty hunter after we were all seated in our usual places. I have seen him around before a few times, he is a shape shifter and has a twin brother like myself. His name is Villius, I think.

"Yes, and if you will come with me to where she is held captive..."

"One, Two, Cain, Able!" Mero interrupted, calling us, we all stepped forward, "You will go with William to go and...her?" he queried.

"Yes, her. She is a first world vamp." William answered, I was wrong it was his brother.

"I'm impressed, and you shall be rewarded well for your efforts." Mero said with a smirk.

"Follow me," said William and walked out of the restaurant, the four of us followed.

"How is your brother Villius?" I asked William as we walked down to the car park.

"Oh, he's good, been a bit depressed lately though, but he won't tell me why." He answered, then got onto a black and gold motorbike. There didn't look to be a helmet anywhere though. "Follow me, I'll take you to the vamp." He then said to us as the rest of us got into my silver SUV.

Will started up his motorbike and sped out of the car park, I followed closely behind him.
