Did you miss me?

"Shopping"

Cat heard the revving of engines in the distance.

"I won't. You can't make me do that and I won't."

"Then you will be killed," Alucard took out his gun and watched it glisten in the afternoon sun.

"You wouldn't dare let them kill me," Cat was angry enough to be smug, but she half knew she was setting herself up to get her feelings hurt.

"Do you trust me enough to put that to the test?" he looked down at her slyly.

Cat thought for a moment of what to say, but nothing came to her. How could he expect her to kill humans? She would have to tell Integra about this when she got back. She knew that Integra did not have much regard for the lives of people associating with monsters, but surely she would have something to say about Alucard making Cat kill them.

"You are a taddle tail," Alucard began to step out of the alley to face the motorcyclists who were now nearly to the plaza square.

Cat grabbed onto his sleeve, "We will take care of the werewolves before we do anything about the humans. Once they are dead if there are humans that flee we will let them. Do you understand me?"

Alucard considered her for a moment. Her facial expression was very hard and set. She believed in what she was saying and she believed that he would go along with it, "As you wish."

Cat let go of his sleeve and tried to hide the shock on her face, "Alright, lets go."

They walked out into the square together. Cat could see the group of motorcycles cruising down the other side of Oxford St. They did not look so rowdy from where she was standing. They were not wrecking anything or even being very loud.

"That is because they are coming for us. The werewolves can easily see you and smell you from where they are. They have told the rest of the gang that they are going to have some fun," he looked down at her and wiggled his eyebrows up and down.

"What about you? Cant they see you?" Cat backed up slightly so she was part way hidden behind Alucard.

"They can see me, but they're not experienced enough to tell what I am. They think they can take care of me quickly and have some fun with you," he chuckled.

"Well let's just shoot them as soon as they get close enough," Cat gulped, she was not a big fan of werewolves, "Better yet, why don't you just shoot them now. It would be easy for you."

He sneered down at her, "But, no fun for me."

"So you're going to make me do it?" she sighed.

"Indeed," he stepped away from her so her cover was blown.

Cat thought about her plan of attack. She assumed the gang would surround them like in the movies. Werewolves were not very creative creatures after all. There was also the possibility that they would attack them right away. As they got closer she picked out the bigger of the two werewolves. This would be her first target. She thought she could try and shoot them both at the same time, but she did not want to risk missing both of them.

The bigger werewolf rode straight towards her while the smaller one rode towards Alucard. Cat gripped her gun that she was holding behind her back. She waited until he was about ten meters away and then she whipped her gun out from behind her and shot.

The blast rang out across the square and its echo was drowned out by the sound of all the motor cycles screeching to a halt. The werewolf had been riding in the center of the gang and now his comrades all looked back at their fallen leader. One started to chuckle nervously like he thought it was some sort of joke. He stopped quickly when he realized his leader was not getting up.

"What did you do!" the smaller werewolf looked from his dead friend to Cat and back again, "Auh hell, what did you do!" He stumbled off his bike and took a few steps towards the bloody remains. "He can't be dead! He can't be dead…we're invincible. We're immortal. He can't be dead…what did you do you twat!" He turned his attentions to Cat and snarled.

Cat waved the gun at him like a greeting, "Silver bullets."

The boy who had been laughing made an odd guttural squeak and dropped his bike on the ground. He started to back away with his hands held half way up defensively, "Listen ma'am I'm really sorry. I didn't mean no harm by it I was just having some fun. I'm really sorry I'll never do it again I swear to you I won't."

Cat waved the gun at him, "Get out of here and don't tell anyone what you've seen today."

The boy did not need telling twice. He turned around and ran without so much as a second glance towards his former friends.

"I suggest the rest of you do the same," Cat raised her gun and pointed it at all of the other boys. They slowly began dropping their bikes and backing away.

"Now wait a minute boys!" the remaining werewolf turned to his comrades, "This just means I'm the leader now and one of you is going to get promo…"

Another blast rang out as Cat shot the werewolf in the head, "No ones getting promoted today. Now get out of here all of you before I shoot you all," she glared at them sinisterly and slightly to her surprise it worked. Most of the boys dropped their bikes and ran and some rode away, not wanting to part with such a large investment.

Alucard slowly clapped his hands together, "Very nice work child. Not a single drop of human blood spilled. I couldn't have done it better myself."

"Of course you couldn't have, you would have slaughtered them all. If you had to do all the paper work that Integra does when you kill humans then you would appreciated sparing lives a little bit more," Cat holstered her gun and sighed.

"I doubt that," Alucard tipped his head back and breathed in the cold December air, "The police will be arriving soon. Remember, to them those just look like dead humans. We should go."

"Right," Cat sighed deeply again and then shivered.

"Would you like to take the fast way home?" Alucard held out his hand to her with his palm up.

"Oh, I don't know. It's just such a weird feeling…," Cat shivered again and then yawned.

"You're tired. It has been a long day for a human. Just trust me," he took hold of her elbow and pulled her towards him.

"Since when is it a good idea to trust you?" she looked up at him and eyed him warily.

"It worked out well today did it not?" he pulled her into his coat and disappeared into the darkness.
