DAMN YOU WINDOWS!!!
Sorry that this took so long, but windows thought it was funny to die on me for no obvious reason.
3 hours of writhing, pain, and a cup of coffee later, I finally finished this again.
Anyway, enjoy.

Maybe I should have thought this trough.

I was watching the Hellsing manor from a safe distance. That thing was a freaking fortress! It would at least take a whole army to take it over.

After my fight with Alexander, I had quickly made my way to the mansion, resting in a empty house during daytime. I had the intention of threatening their leader a bit. That way, I could easily go on with my life, without a freaking vampire breathing down my neck.

I pondered over how to get to their boss without getting shot. Time stopping powers would be nice. I concentrated real hard, nothing. Since last day, no freaky time stopping thingies happened. Even if I tried real hard.

Hmm, what would a main character do? Why, he would march right towards the mansion and use some awesome kung-foo moves to take out the guards. Too bad I didn't knew any martial arts. Seriously, the only way to get in there is when I am…

It then hit me. An idea so simple and stupid, that it just had to work.

I flipped open my Nokia and dialed in the number of my tailor, there was nothing he couldn't do with a treat and needle. Despite the fact that his store was closed at night, I knew I could count on him. 'Jackie!' the French man said cheerfully. 'How is it vit you?'

'Pretty good, remember that favor you owned me?' I once beat him in poker pretty badly, he was roughly 1.000 pounds in debt to me, favors not included.

'Mais, bien sure! Vhat can I do for you?'

'I need you to make me a suit. A long coat, colored….'

Random guard's pov

I walked from the one side of the fence to the next. Another boring day.

I looked at my partner, who had apparently fallen asleep. 'Hey,' I said while I gave him a nudge with my rifle. 'You can sleep at home.'

'Why would I? I get paid for it here.'

Tsst, newbies.

He suddenly became fully awake, as he pointed in front of him. 'T-t-that is Alucard!'

I looked at the red figure that was walking towards us. Jup, that was definitely him.

I did my best not to pee my pants. I heard from other guards that once he shot somebody, just like that. For fun.

'Open the gate,' he said.

I quickly did as I told, not wanting to know if he felt impulsive today.

He walked away, in the direction of the manor.

'Say, doesn't he looks shorter today?' The newbie asked.

'Shht! Don't say it that loud!' I said. 'He can probably hear us!'

Jack's pov

Best. Idea. Ever.

The guards where clueless about my disguise. A wig, a pair of orange tinned sunglasses and some custom made clothes did miracles. The coat was also an excellent way for me to hide my sword. Alucard's huge seize was the biggest problem. I had put on some shoes with extra filling, but it still made me look small compared to him.

As I entered the mansion, I growled at one of the guards at the front door. He jumped fifteen feat in the air and ran away.

This was quite enjoyable.

I went a few stairs up and down a few corridors until I came across a door. According to the map, this is where there boss should be.

I knocked twice until I heard 'come in.'

When I opened the door, I was greeted by bullets. However, they came at me slowly, as if everything went in slow-motion. I easily dodged the bullets and moved to the desk at normal speed, unaffected by the slowness. Guess my powers had kicked in.

I quickly took the gun out of the woman's hand and pointed it at her. Speaking of that, I was quite surprised that the chief of Hellsing was a woman. I expected some fat bloke, like the guy from 'The Godfather.' Then again, this woman looked a million times more scary than him.

'How did you know?' I asked. The guards fell for it, why didn't she?

'Alucard never knocks.'

Figures. I removed my now useless wig and sunglasses.

'What do you want?' she said, completely ignoring the gun in front of her face.

'A simple deal. Your pet is becoming a pain in my neck. So, how about this? You order your beast to leave me alone, and I don't blow your head off. Pretty good deal, no?' Of course, I wasn't going to blow her head off. I can't kill somebody just like that. My only weapon was bluff.

She smiled. She took a cigar out of her pocket and lighted it. 'You expect me, the leader of the Hellsing organisation, who gets these kinds of treats daily, to obey? Honestly, you really haven't thought this trough.' She blew some smoke right in my face. 'If you wish to kill me, then I suggest you do it now, the gunshots should have drawn some attention.'

Crud, this wasn't good. More bluffing then. 'Lady, I'm not kidding around.'

'Me neither.'

Damn, this was a woman with some balls. I really didn't wanted to do this, but I'll have to use plan B.

Alucard's pov

The boy was able to escape me with his human smell, but it was wearing off. Just a few more seconds, and I knew where he was.

'Well, can you smell him yet, master?' my fledgling asked.

I grinned. Yes, I smelled him, he was…

My mouth fell open out of surprise. How could he know?!

I ran as fast as I could towards Hellsing manor, my fledgling could barely keep up at my speed. 'Where are you going, master?!'

'Hellsing manor!' I said quick and increased my pace even more, leaving my fledgling behind me.

Jack's pov

Showtime.

I put on a arrogant smile and tossed her gun in her lap. For a fraction of a second, she was surprised, but it was quickly replaced again by her cold, hard look. 'You truly are brave, miss Hellsing. Any other human would have given in by now.' I made a melodramatic bow. 'And that's why, I want to serve you.'

I stood up and tried to reach out my hand for a shake. But to me surprise, I couldn't move. I struggled a bit against the unknown force, and let out a slight yell as a tin cut came over my arm. The blood dripped over an invisible wire. I looked behind me as much as I could: there was some sort of butler holding the treats.

'Are you alright, sir Integra?'

'I'm fine, Walter.'

Things were getting bad real fast. My ace card, Integra's life, was now out of my reach. She had absolutely no reason to accept my offer. 'Well,' I said while still trying to look cocky. 'Are you accepting my offer?'

'Haven't you learned anything? I don't negotiate with vampires.'

I grinned. I still had one final trick up my sleeve. 'Oh, but I'm already in your service, whiter you like it or not.'

She could kill me right there and now, but her curiosity got the better of her. 'What do you mean?'

'Check my chest.'

'Pardon?'

'Just do it, it'll explain everything.'

'This better not be a lame joke of yours, vampire.' She gave a nod at her butler, who cut off my suit with a twitch of his finger. My tattoo was now revealed, and it immeadedly took effect on Integra.

'H-How?' she uttered.

'You tell me,' I responded.

Seras pov

Master had probably taken care of everything already, but I wasn't going to let my guard down. I quietly walked to Integra's office, trying not to make a sound. I rested my back against the door and tried if I didn't heard anything.

'So, what is this seal anyways?'

'Apparently, a Hellsing relative has sealed something away inside of you.'

'I see.'

I recognized that one voice as Jack's, the other as Integra's. The fact that Jack wasn't yet disposed of, got me worried. I kicked in the door and took aim with my Harokonnen, dramatically screaming 'freeze!'

Jack, Walter and Integra looked at me, surprised. They were drinking thee. I couldn't help but notice that Jack was shirtless, revealing a rather large round tattoo on his chest. 'Seras, what do you think you're doing?' Integra asked.

'I-I toughed that…'

Jack smiled and took a sip from his thee. 'Can I tell her the news, Sir Integra?'

'Sure.'

His smile stood amused, and had something relieved. As if he had gambled and won. 'I am now part of the Hellsing organization.'

Those words hit me like a train. How had he pulled that off?! First, he got inside the Hellsing manor, witch was a pretty impressive feat by itself and then convinced Integra. Yet, I was also relieved. Killing ghouls is fine and all but killing actual people is a whole different story.

'So, your now a part of Hellsing? I guess I should welcome you.' My master came through the wall from the left.

Jack's smile faded. My master has that effect on people. 'Yes, and you know what the best part about it is? You can't kill me.'

Alucard did a threathening step in his direction. 'Who says I can't, boy?'

'That's enough, Alucard. Jack is now a part of Hellsing and you will not harm him,' Integra said. 'Are we clear?'

'Sure, for now.' Alucard seemed to have lost his interest and disappeared again.

Integra sighted and looked back at me. 'Seras, would you care to give Jack here a tour? I have some things to do.'

'Yes sir!'

Jack quickly drank up his thee and followed me. 'So, how long have you been working here?' he said with that friendly voice of his.

I was startled by how quick he recovered from the fact that I had almost killed him and eaten him alive. 'Jack, I just tried to kill you two seconds ago.'

'And?'

'Aren't you at least a bit... frightened or angry?'

He smiled, not a sadistic smirk or an evil grin, but a honest smile. God, how I missed something like that. 'You had nothing personal against me, you where just doing your job and doing what you think that was right. So I'm not angry at you. Besides,' he said while looking around if Alucard wasn't listening. 'I would rather be killed by you than Alucard any day.'

During the tour, we talked a lot. Not about vampires, but about hobby's, movies, and other common things. And for the first time since ages ago, I felt normal again.

Integra's pov

I lighted up a cigar and looked outside, trying to figure out who this Jack really was. He was smart, that was for sure. He explained that he had seen the marks on Alucards gloves, and quickly jumped to the conclusion that it was the seal of Hellsing.

But why the bloody hell was there a seal on him? He claims that he had the seal from birth, but that imposible. Seals such as these where only used on induviduals of great power, like vampires.

'Pardon me, Sir Integra,' Walter said, ever so polite. 'But why did you agreed with him? I could have easily disposed of him.'

'That boy has some sort of tie to Hellsing, and I want to know what it is.' I breath out the smoke. 'Walter, search the records my father made for all bizarre occurrences from up till 20 years ago, maybe we can find something there.' Jack was about 19, so it must be around that 19 years ago that a Hellsing member used that seal on him.

'Yes, Sir Integra.' He quietly left.

That Jack really bothered me. What could have possibly been sealed away?

I inhaled the black smoke of my cigar. Whatever it was, my gut told me that it wasn't something meant for the good cause.

Bet you really like to know what's up with the seal, huh? Sorry, can't tell, but I might speed up my release of chapters if you hit that nice review button over there ;-)
