Eternal Darkness/ Maxwell's Demon
I unfortunately don't own the G-boys; if I did I would be much happier, wallowing in money. But I don't so don't bother suing; I don't have anything, I'm a poor college student people! Unless of course you want a couple blood thirsty dust bunnies....I got plenty of those. Comments are always appreciated....craved actually. REVIEWS!!! I NEED REVIEWS. Uh...sorry....I'm ok now. So please, review; let me know what you liked, what you didn't, the good, the bad and the ugly basically. However flames will be laughed at, so I wouldn't even bother.
Chapter 6
The room was dark; its occupant had not bothered with the lights. At exactly 30 minutes past the hour; his vid-phone rang. The young man answered the phone; an image of a man in a rumpled black business suit appeared before him. The man was thin, he looked almost hawkish; his skin was pale; piercing ice blue eyes starred directly at him, partially hidden behind his unkempt black hair.
"Well," the man growled, his face was hidden mostly in shadow; "what have you to report?"
The young man, who was in fact one of the best Hunters the agency had; suppressed the urge to growl. He was beginning to seriously dislike this man, this "Mr. Wolfe".
"The target has been sighted." The young Hunter stated his voice perfectly neutral none of his dislike leaking out, "However, this will be more difficult then originally thought. You neglected to mention the target's position in the city."
"And this somehow complicates matters?" Mr. Wolfe asked annoyance evident in his voice, "I don't see how a few humans' views really are a complication."
"As I'm sure you are well aware of, Wolfe, it is not merely humans that associate with the target. The humans are not the complication; the complication is that you did not mention the fact that she is the Master of this city. THAT is what complicates this assignment. Dealing with a Master is far different then dealing with one of their underlings. I shall have to speak with my employer about this matter; Mr. Wolfe. You shall receive word when a decision has been made." Ignoring the man's protests, the hunter cut the connection. Then he waited a few seconds, and dialed his employer. A woman with light brown hair pulled back into a bun, appeared on screen.
"What have you to report?" She asked the lights glinted off of her glasses, making them opaque.
"It seems that what we originally thought is not correct. The vampire known as Metastopheles is not an underling; she is a Master, not only a Master but THE Master of this city. She owns a night club on the out skirts of town. It seems to cater to both the undead and mortals. There are few cases of missing persons in this town and none led to her. As far as I can tell; this town doesn't even realize they have a Master Vampire in their midst."
"I see;" the woman said, her voice was cold and calculating; "I shall have to have a word with 'Mr. Wolfe'. Continue observing until given further instructions."
"Understood; Barton out."
Wufei picked up the phone; it had been a week since Pheles had given them Duo's number. He had gotten to speak with the baka once, the rest of the time the line was busy or he got Duo's voice mail. He dialed the number again; "Heya people! This is Duo's cell, I obviously can't come to the phone right now, so leave your name and number and I'll get back to you.....chow babe!"
Wufei swore for a couple moments in his native tongue, and put the receiver down. Tomorrow there was an exam in their Mythology class and Duo had not been in class for a week because of his leg. Wufei didn't even know if Duo even knew there was an exam! And their teacher, Mrs. Smith, had told him in no uncertain terms that if Duo missed this exam that she would fail him; injury or not. Wufei glanced at the other number written on the piece of paper. Pheles had said only for emergencies...would this qualify as an emergency?
Wufei snatched up the receiver and dialed the number, the phone rang;
"Eternal Darkness, this is Cherry what can I do for you?" a woman's voice purred over the line, Wufei could hear loud music pulsing in the background.
Panicked, Wufei barely managed to mutter, "Um...sorry wrong number..." before hanging up. Eternal Darkness? What the hell was Eternal Darkness???
Wufei tried Duo's number a couple more times all with the same result; the voicemail. It was almost 9 o'clock, Wufei sighed. If Duo failed this class then he would have to repeat it next semester and wouldn't be able to get his degree in Mythological Studies; last time Wufei checked that was still important to the fool.
Wufei dialed Pheles' number again, Cherry's voice answered.
"Hi, yes...um..." On impulse Wufei asked, "I was wondering where are you were located?" He paused and took down the directions, "Thank you."
Wufei looked at the directions; it wasn't a long drive, maybe fifteen minutes; going the speed limit. But...since he never did go the speed limit then it probably would only take ten or so. "Ah what the hell, I've got nothing better to do." He muttered, walking over to his closet. He pulled out a black leather jacket and shrugged it on, then he dragged out his black boots and, out of habit, he slide a knife into the back of his faded black jeans. Outside Wufei by passed his car and went for his latest Christmas present from Quatre. The previous year, Quatre had decided to give them all motorcycles, "crotch-rockets" as they are commonly referred too, as presents. Duo had gotten a solid black bike, Hilde a dark purple one with blue flames, and Wufei had gotten a blood red bike with a black dragon along the sides. It had been their favorite present that year, and the four of them had gone riding together many times, enjoying the scenery and weather of Northwood. Needless to say, it is sometimes nice to have one of your best friends be the richest guy in the whole town.
Wufei slide on a matching red helmet and started her up. The bike roared to life, Wufei pulled out and sped off toward the edge of the city. Eight minutes down the road, Wufei paused in front of a large black iron gate. Wufei could barely make out a mansion through the fog that seemed to have settled across the grounds. A chill went up Wufei's spine; ignoring the unease feeling in his stomach, Wufei rolled his shoulders and headed up the driveway. His bike seemed unusually loud in the darkness that surrounded the building. Wufei parked his bike and walked towards the door with a neon light that stated "Eternal Darkness" in bright pink letters. He could hear the beat of the drums and bass from were he stood. At the door there stood two bouncers, Wufei fingered the ID in his pocket.
"Excuse me," He said, proud that his voice didn't shake with the nervousness he felt, "Do you by chance know if Duo Maxwell is here?"
"Neva heard of him, kid." One of the twin bouncers said, though Wufei was damned if he could tell which.
"Then how about his sister, Pheles?" This earned Wufei a pointed look from the two men.
"Are you going in or not, human?" one of them asked with a smirk. The instincts that had been screaming at him to turn back since he pulled up in front of the gates began to shriek in earnest. Wufei took a step back.
"And, who might this delectable bit of flesh be?" a woman's voice purred from behind him. Wufei turned; behind him stood a gorgeous woman. She was small, but she had curves in all the right places and blood red hair the tumbled down her shoulders and framed her face, emphasizing her big silver-green eyes. Wufei narrowed his eyes slightly; something was definitely off about this lady.
"He's lookin' for someone named Maxwell." The bouncer said. Something flashed behind the woman's eyes;
"Maxwell; as in Duo Maxwell?"
"Yes," Wufei said, a bit wary, "You know him?"
The woman gave him a big bright smile, "Why he's a good friend of mine. Come with me, I'll take you too him." Glancing back at him to see if he was following her, she smiled again, "By the way, my name is Blaze."
Against his better judgment, Wufei followed the strange woman into the club. The music pounded around him, strobe lights flashed giving the crowd of moving bodies a ghostly quality. Wufei felt his skin prickle, he felt like he was surrounded by people wanting to hurt him. Wufei noticed that the eyes of everyone he passed focused on him, some even paused in their dancing to watch him; the light reflected off their eyes making them glow. Creepy contacts he thought; he felt like he was a deer in a pack of wolves...
Blaze stopped by some cushions in the back corner, Wufei stopped as well, looking around for any sign of Duo. There wasn't any.....
