Jason Knowls paced the length of his 'office' which at the moment was nothing more than a large hotel room in uptown NY. They had tried and failed to find the Glove anywhere.
*Sara Pezzini must have it.* he thought, coming to a stop in front of the one large window in his room. Over looking the city didn't help him any in fuguring out his next move.
The only thing he could be sure of was that they had to make a move before the Blade made one of 'her' own.
*Born of the same tree, years apart and yet we are enimies.* Jason closed his eyes, leaning his forehead against the cold glass of the window.
"We retrieved Nicholas." a voice from the doorway sounded, "They have yet to notice his absense."
"Good." Jason glanced over his shoulder, "Make sure he is reformed and rested. Only then will we get the whole story about last night."
"Do you truly believe it could have been one of the hunters?"
"I pray it is not." Jason sighed, turning back to the window, "But if it is, we may be out numbered, especially if they intend to help the wielder."
***************
"Sara." Gabriel pulled the dorr to his loft open before Sara had even had a chance to fumble for her keys, "Somethings going to happen, I can hear it."
"Laney? Did you hear Laney?" Sara asked pulling Gabriel behind her as she raced up the stairs to the young woman's appartment.
"Yea, only she didn't sound like herself." Gabriel followed to the door then stopped, "She sounded scared."
"She's not here." Sara brought her hand to her forehead, "She's gone to meet Alex."
"Now what?"
"We have to wait." Sara took a seat in front of the door, "I'm sure she was here when I heard her."
"It just felt like she knew where she was." Gabriel finished her thought.
*************
3 hours later Gabriel stood to stretch and froze in mid-motion when when the sound of footsteps reached his ears. He looked down to see Sara staring at the floor, straining to hear more.
There was no laughter or talking.
There were two sets of foot steps, yet almost no other noise.
Immediatley Gabriel was sure of one thing.
Laney was not the owner of one of those sets.
Sara grabbed Gabriel by the arm and dragged him into one of the few utilities closet.
With a mop handle crushing his bad hand and Sara's hand over his mouth, Gabriel needed no prompting to be quiet.
"So this is it?" a male voice asked not far from the closet.
"Thats what I was told." another answered.
The two in the closet heard a soft knocking on Laney's door and few muttered curses when no one answered.
"They said this would be easy." the first man grumbled, "I mean, she is pregnant. How dangerous can she be?"
"If she is a hunter, then she will always be dangerous." the second sounded irritated.
"Except in death." Sara cringed at the joy that had entered his voice. It was a tone that made her skin crawl.
Both men laughed at this, though quietly.
*Sara........Sarrrrra....*
*Stop.* the thought was directed down to the glowing stone.
*Sara-Sara .......Sara-Sara-Sara-Sara-Sara-Sara......*
Gabriel grabbed Sara's arms as she brought her hands up to cover her ears.
"Shhhh." he managed, noticing how quiet the hall had become, "They've left to watch the building."
Sara let her hands fall as his words made their way into her thoughts, drowning out the other voices.
Hopefully Laney would get home soon.
Hopefully she would be able to explain what was happening.
*Why did I hear her earlier?* Sara thought as she stood staring at the door, *Why had Gabriel?*
"Do you want to sit here and wait for her?" Gabriel asked as if reading her thoughts.
"I think we need to figure out what to do about all this."
Gabriel nodded also looking at the door.
"I hope she's ok." He said quietly.
"Me too." Sara took Gabriel's hand and smiled down at the bandages for reason in particular.
**************
"Sara?" Gabriel asked once they were back in his loft, "What is a hunter?"
"I don't know." she answered without really thinking about it, "But I want to find out."
They had nothing left to do but wait and think.
