"Are you telling me that there has been a Hunter in that building for months and no one knew about it?!" Jason Knowl stood, causing all who stood before him to shrink back, "Are you possitive that there is one deffinately in town?"

"We are quite possitive, Sir. From what Nicholas has told us the Hunter was well aware of who he was." one of the men closest Jason said with his eyes on the floor.

"How is Nicholas?"

"He is ready to rejoin our fight, Sir."

"Good." Jason smiled, "Make sure he tracks this Hunter down and kills them for the information they have on the Glove. His death caused us quite the head ache and to make up for his mis-fortune he will retrieve whatever he can about the Glove and the one who has it."

"Then you know who the Wielder is?"

"I have an idea, yes."

"And if there is no Hunter?"

"Then you make sure they are dead by morning!" Jason bellowed.

****************

Gabriel stood with his arms crossed over his stomck as he listened to the distant noise of someone walking down the hall. There was no reason for Laney and Alex to be on that floor. Unless of course what he and Sara had heard was true and that one of them was indeed a "Hunter".

Whatever that was.

Turning to his left Gabriel could see Sara also straining to hear what was happening in the hallway when a sudden knock on the door caused them both to jump.

"Who-" Gabriel cursed as his voice broke, "Who is it?"

"Gabriel?" came a quiet reply, "Let us in, quickly now."

Gabriel pulled the door open to reveal a pregnant red-head and a tall guy with blonde streaks in his dark hair.

"Thank the Goddess." Laney exclaimed as she rushed forward to hug Gabriel, "We saw them watching the building and thought the worse."

"So it's you, is it?" Alex smiled at Sara, "Well, who would have thought we'd all end up in the same town."

"What are Hunters?" Sara asked, a little put off with them knowing who and what she was when she was still a bit lost about it all.

"Well, that would be us." Laney said brightly as she set a bag of muffins down on the coffee table, "We track down those who seek to end the life of the Weilder, only we didn't know that it was you till last night."

"But isn't my protector suppose to do that?" Sara asked as Laney walked back to the door and locked it with a small wave of her hand.

"The protector killls those who have slipped past us. We take care of the ones we know but I do believ this could be a first." Laney turned back to find Gabriel staring at her, "What?"

"What did you just do?"

"I locked the door."

"Surely you've seen more than mere magics, being in this line of work anyways." Alex laughed, "The Pack has their tricks and we have ours."

"We?- so you are both Hunters?" Sara asked.

"Yes." Laney began to pace, "But like I said this may be a first."

"What is?'' Gabriel watched the red-head as she walked the length of his shop.

"Two Hunters in the company of both the Guide and the Wielder." Laney said quietly as Alex sat on the couch next to where Gabriel was standing, "There are rarely any of us who travel in pairs, not to mention we hardly ever come across the Wielder, usually just her Guide."

"That I understand." Sara said as looked down at the floor in thought, "But why have you never come to the aide of the Wielder before?"

"We are not so well known, even in myths ." a smile flitted across Laneys face but didn't last, "Even they don't know alot about our existence."

"And thats how it's suppose to be." Alex said sternly as he folded his hands in his lap.

"How did you two come to be a couple?" Sara asked as listened for any noise out side.

"We met by accident in Ireland." Alex sighed, "We were both "hunting" there and seeing as though there is only 5% forest and woodland areas, our targets ended up hiding on the same path."

"So, Hunters kill people for a living?" Gbariel asked sinking down next to Alex.

"Yes." Laney and Alex answered at the same time.

"Only those who are considered a threat or danger." Laney said as she too sat.

"And the whole magis thing?" Sara asked rubbing her eyes with the palm of her right hand.

"That's something we've always had. We just keep it as unknown to them as we can manage." Alex stated as anoth knock sounded on the door.

"Don't answer it." Laney said in a normal tone.

"But what if they heard us talking?" Sara asked in a wisper.

"They can't, I made sure of that when I locked the door."

*************

"You ok?" Gabriel asked as he wrapped his arms around Sara from behind.

"I don't know who much more I can take." She sighed, "I mean, there are people after us both, we've been attacked twice-"

"Thrice, counting my hand." Gabriel interjected.

"And now those two and their Magic!" Sara buried her face in her hands, "I mean, really, I thought I was loosing my minds months ago and and now I'm sure of it."

"I don't care if they know how to turn top hats into white rabbits." Gabriel said gently, "As long as they are here to help."

"I guess you're right." Sara turned to wrap her arms around Gabriel's waist, "Where are they now?"

"They went back up to Laney's to check on our little friends outside."

"Good." Sara leaned her head against his shoulder, "Everytime I look at laney I wish I had been the one to shove that asshole from the Pack down the stairs."

"She's ok and it's job to kill guys like that."

"But she's pregnant."

"That doesn't make her helpless."

"What if something happens?" Sara asked the crook of Gabriel's neck.

"Then we deal with it." Gabriel laid back on the bed, bring Sara with him, "And to think, when we started dating I was afraid things would get boring."

They both laughed.

Nicholas stood in front of the building where talismaniac was located and waited till the front door was opened to try to enter.

"Hey." came a female voice, "What are you doing here?"

*************

A/N: Sorry, this one had a lot to do with Laney and Alex and not so much to do with Sara and Gabriel.

I hope the magic part wasn't too much, it's just, the Pack can bring people back from the dead I thought it only fair if the Hunters had some form of special 'talent'.

The whole comment about the top hats turning into white rabbits was inspired by the third Harry Potter book ( my favorite one) when the trio-Harry, Ron and Hermione go into the Magical pet shop and a group of White Rabbits were turning themselves into top hats with soft popping noises. ^____^ Yes, I know, I'm a complete dork, and I love it!
