Chapter 1

"So... Did you gather the information I told you about?" The door slowly creaked, and shut with a click. A figure walked up, dressed only in black flannel pajamas, and calmly slung an arm around the tall mans neck. The few candles placed around the room shuddered with the sparce breeze that had made it's way in here, winding it's way through cracks in the old walls. The light flickered quickly on a perfectly made bed with crisp white sheet, cream-colored walls, and a room as immaculate as a hospital ward.

Though there were things here you wouldn't find anywhere in a hospital. Any bloodstains left by patients tend to be cleaned off when the patient leaves. And you don't often see any swords in hospital rooms.

The man spoke up, a low, rumbling baritone. "He'll be there at 10, and he'll stay there til 3. You have all of 5 hours, so I suggest you make good use of it." The man sat down on the bed, the immaculate white sheets. No one would have been able to guess that they belonged to him.

"I'm aware of this, I'm not as dumb as you seem to think I am." He undid the top few buttons of his pajamas. "Now, I said I'd do something for you in return for doing this, but... you never told me what this something was." He took his place next to the older man on the bed, calmly undoing more of the red buttons. The nubs of wax that once could have been called candles flickered again, casting light for a split second on the yellow eyes of the man. Eyes dimmed slightly by lust.

"Well then... I'll inform you."

The candles flickered and went out.
