"Can you explain to me how you know about the gargoyles?" Elisa asked me as we walked to the top. "We've been monitoring New York for unusual occurrences." I said. "We?" she asked. "I'm part of a group called the Nome Guard. We monitor the world for activity of our enemy." I said pausing on the stairs. "Who would this enemy be?" Elisa asked as we continued to climb the stairs. "They're called the Steel Cult. I'll debrief you more later. Lets meet the residents." I said. "Sure, I hope they're in the mood for extra company." Elisa said. "they better not act like assholes." I muttered looking down before following her.

Entering the area of which the so called Manhattan Clan lived, I suddenly had a bad feeling. "It's quiet detective, too quiet for my liking." I said drawing my desert eagle. Elisa gained a confused look. "It was a gift from my grandfather Harris before he passed." she nodded. "They're probably all out on patrol." that's when we heard a deep voice. "Elisa,how have you been?" we turned to see a lavender colored gargoyle walk out of the shadows followed by others. "I've been alright Goliath." Goliath then looked at me. "Who's your friend." he asked. "Some kind of government agent. Wait, where's Brooklyn and Broadway?" Elisa asked noticing that 2 of her friends were missing. "Over here." a voice said. I followed Elisa whilst holstering my handgun. "Elisa, what is it." she gasped. I heard whimpering as I got closer to her. Turning the corner I saw what looked like a cross between my kind and a human. With one small difference. She had bat wings. Now so you're aware. I'm not human. I'm what my great grandpa dettmann calls a hybrid

as I reached for her shoulder, she flinched and cowered. I slowly touched her back while avoiding the wings. She whimpered. "I'm not going to hurt you" I said soothingly. "Why should I trust you?" the creature asked. "If I was going to hurt you I wouldn't be comforting you. What's your name?" "Maggie." she said. "OK Maggie you're safe here and no one is going to hurt you and when you're ready, I need you to answer some questions." I said draping a large blanket around her. "and if they do hurt me?" Maggie asked looking at me. I drew my desert eagle halfway. "I'll kill them." I turned to the group with a sympathetic look.

"Elisa. Did he just..." I began "Threaten us?" Brooklyn finished while wide eyes. Jacob walked towards us after speaking to Maggie a little more. "Forgive me. I was reassuring her that she was in safe hands." Jacob said. "I understand." I said angered by his actions yet relieved that it had good intentions.

(Elisa pov)

I was appalled by Jacob's actions, but that was replaced by amazement when he said that he needed to reassure Maggie that no one would hurt her. That's when I noticed that his face was slightly red after glancing back at Maggie. "You OK?" I asked "yeah I am." he said jumping. "excuse me. I need to make a call."

I left the clock tower pulling out a vidcom (1). before I activated it, I felt like someone was watching me. "I know you're there. She's safe. I promise." there was a flash of 2 blue eyes and then the feeling was gone. I glanced at where the presence had been. 'lovely, we have a yautja in town.' I thought. 'Nana(2)'s going to love this.'

A/N: And that's chapter 2. now I know that I've been slow with updates and that's due to a combination of writers' block and losing the idea while I'm writing.
