Chapter Sixteen- The Calm before the Storm
"Ow! FUCK!" Dexter roared and then winced from pain as the doctor cleaned and began to disinfect his wound. Sitting on the table the doctor rubbed an anti-bacterial solution on the claw wounds to Dexter's back. "You should consider yourself fortunate, Mr. Smith. Had your wound been deeper you may have risked severe infection and possibly blood poisoning. Just what in God's name was it you said that attacked you?" the doctor asked moving to the far side of the room. Dexter didn't answer; his back felt like someone poured battery acid on it.
The door opened and in walked Seth, dressed in a tight fitting black thermal shirt and loose black sweat pants. "How you feeling bro?" he asked. Dexter swore again as the doctor finished treating the wound. "There. Now be sure to pay close attention to how it heals. Any problems come back and see me" he said closing a small medi-kit and then exited. Dexter stood to his feet and began to place his shirt back on.
"What a shitty night. I can't believe Johnny is gone. He may have been a paranoid nut case but he was a good man. He didn't deserve that. LOD will fucking pay" Dexter growled placing his shirt on.
"We'll get them. Now that you're ok we need to let everyone know of the information gathered. That and I think there is a certain lady who is waiting to see you" Seth said tossing him a grin as Dexter sighed and chuckled. "Yeah, thanks again man" he said walking for the door.
Both men exited the room, walking down the hall and making a right turn. Two uniformed agents, Fuentes and Martini waved a friendly greeting. "Sup' Dex" Fuentes said and playfully slapped Dexter on the back as he walked pass. Dexter swore, in florid Manhattan style as Seth turned his face and suppressed a laugh.
"You moron!" Dexter said hissing through grit teeth as Fuentes jumped back. "Whoa man I didn't know you were injured, I'm sorry man!" he apologized quickly walking away. Dexter's back burned with intense pain as he stifled a cry and continued on his path.
Ten minutes later they all gathered in the Briefing room. Dexter sat in a chair facing Director McGrath, Chief Quinton and a few of the heads of the FBI. Dexter then explained the lengthy ordeal with LOD at Inwood Hill Park. Everyone listened somberly as Dexter gave the horrid details. Even Chief Quinton, normally antagonistic and brash was more reserved and respectful.
"So that's it basically. Unfortunately my contact, Johnny did not survive. He died after giving us this information. He was a good man and I want to honor the sacrifice he went through. We cannot allow LOD to gain those other devices and let Klaus destroy our world. "Dexter said facing the group.
"Rest assured Dexter we will do everything in our power to try and stop this heinous plan" Director McGrath said nodding.
"So one device in Egypt. Another at the ruins of ancient Carthage. Egypt just happens to be a country surrounded by arid desert in the midst of numerous social and political upheavals. Awesome" Seth mumbled sarcastically.
At that point the door opened, an agent walked in carrying several sheets of paper. She was young, perhaps no older than 21. She had mocha skin, square thin glasses, light brown eyes and long black hair tied in a high pony tail. Dressed in a grey cashmere skirt and black top with black heels she walked over to the table, licked her lips and sighed.
"Excuse the interruption but we've got a problem sir" she said addressing Director McGrath. "It's alright Lily, please what is it?" he asked as she laid the papers down as the group crowded to view them. "Our intelligence has been picking up strange chatter coming from Eastern Europe and across Russia. Most of the conversation is coded but we are able to decipher some words." Lily said pointing to a sheet of coded conversation. Certain phrases and words were highlighted.
"This" she said pointing to the second paragraph. "Says 'Target is SP-03102015. Mission a go.' I have no idea what it means" Lily said placing her hands on her hips. Dexter looked at the coded conversation, trying to see if he could decipher.
"Now that is most strange indeed" Director McGrath said. Lily then said, "There is more. Towards the end it says 'Have acquired heaven. More missing. Headed for Cairo'"
Dexter froze, "One is buried somewhere in Egypt" Johnny's voice rang in his head.
"That's all we could figure out. Our analysts are still working on the rest" Lily said moving to the next sheet. "Now this is an overall map of Eastern Europe. Several cities have been highlighted. Our intelligence indicates an unusually large level of supernatural activity occurring in these regions. Everything from vampires to Werewolves. I though given recent events here in the city we should keep an eye on it" she explained.
Director McGrath folded his arms, staring at the sheet. "Anything else?' he asked watching as Lily moved to a much larger sheet of paper. This time it was a map of Russia.
"This I think is the most critical. CIA Intelligence has once again been picking up strange chatter. Not only that but it looks like the Russian have been tracking their own supernatural problems as well. I pulled some satellite imagery and this is what I was able to get. There are three main areas that seem to be heavily concentrated: There's Moscow, St. Petersburg and more recently the Ural Mountain region. Most of the conversation mentions acquiring the target and how they are ready to 'accomplish the task'. If that weren't enough that same message from before keeps popping up. SP-03102015. Director if you ask me, I think we are looking at possible terrorist attacks that will simultaneously occur through Eastern Europe and several locations in Russia" Lilly said grimly.
Sighing, Director McGrath rubbed his head. "This will all be very helpful. Thank you Lily you've done wonderfully. See what other information you can find" he said as she nodded. "Yes sir" she said turning to exit. At that point she turned her head in the opposite direction, noticing Seth. "Oh, hey Seth" she said shyly and quickly masked it by playing with her hair and walking before Seth managed a response. Blinking he raised an eyebrow before turning back to the map.
"We'll have to let Rosette know of this situation. If the Russian are tracing their problem then it could be connected to what's been happening here" Chief Quinton said as the group began a discussion on their next course of action.
At Hellsing…
Integra sat at her usual position of the Round Table conference. Rolling the cigar in her hand she stared at it, for a long time. "Jesus this is my fourth one today and it's barely noon" she thought to herself.
"You were saying Sir Integra?" Sir Penwood asked motioning for her to continue.
"As I was saying, we know LOD began with the church 2,000 years ago. We know that Klaus has been altering the course of human history towards his much larger goal of subjugating all humans under his rule. The question now is how we go about in stopping them?" she asked. Finally Integra lit the cigar, taking a deep long puff as she blew the smoke out her nostrils and sighed.
"I have spoken with Vladimir and the Order of the Cross. LOD is preparing for a massive strike against Russia very soon. I am prepared to lend him assistance." She said drawing a few curious glances.
"Do you feel that is wise Sir?" someone asked. Integra caught his glance. "You'll remember their involvement in the fight with Victor years ago. I see no problem in repaying the favor. "She said taking another puff of her cigar. The meeting continued with little progress made. A moment later Walker entered the room as all eyes were drawn on him.
"Pardon the interruption my lady but we have a problem" Walter said removing some papers. "Our intelligence has been picking up strange chatter coming across Eastern Europe and over Russia. To make a long story short there is a strong emphasis on key locations across Eastern Europe and in Russia. It seems gentlemen that the enemy is preparing to soon launch their attack. Satellite imagery over the Ural Mountain region indicates a high concentration of vampiric activity. The vampires it seems are on the warpath" Walter explained.
At that point Sir Islands cleared his throat. "Sir Integra" he began as Integra turned to face him. "We have trusted your judgment in the past and you have not failed. If you are willing to lend assistance to Russia then we stand by you" he said as every other member of the meeting shook their head in agreement. Integra remained silent for a while, finishing the remainder of the cigar and placing it out.
"Gentlemen, no matter where LOD strikes. I don't care if it's Russia or the Middle East. We will go. We will retaliate and we will destroy them" she said with fierce determination.
The Round Table meeting concluded after another hour and Integra retreated into the subbasement level. There, she explained to Alucard the coming conflict.
"A strike you say? Interesting" the vampire said sitting at his throne like chair. Legs crossed, hands folded in a tent and his glasses resting on the small stand beside him he looked at his master. Alucard's eyes reflected something dangerous. Whether they were curious, eager or just insane Integra was not sure. She shivered, it was cold. It was always so damned cold in his chamber. It had been more than a decade ruling as his master and she had still never gotten used to it.
"The vampires you and Seras encountered are on the warpath. They plan to strike several key locations across the Russia. We have picked their movements just ahead of the Ural Mountain region. Alucard I want you and Seras to go and assist Vladimir and the Order of the Cross. Find these vampires, and then kill them" Integra ordered.
Alucard chuckled, his dark and smooth voice echoing in the room. "Such an entertaining prospect. The chance to truly test my powers against creatures such as these." He said excitedly.
"Don't lost focus Alucard. Remember although you are to kill the vampires you are still ordered to find any information that will lead us to Klaus. I've said more than enough. Go now my servant. Go and destroy these abominations in the name of Hellsing" Integra said turning to walk away.
"Integra, my master" Alucard said.
She paused and slowly turned back around and noticed with surprise his serious expression. "Have you given consideration Integra, into drinking my blood?" he asked.
There was silence.
"Immortality is a crude and awful punishment, but it should not be given. Rather it should be earned and you have done so. Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing, shall I offer you my blood, my master?" Alucard asked a sly and seductive grin soon crept to his face.
Integra remained silent for some time. She then turned swiftly on her heel and mumbled an obscenity as she walked away leaving Alucard alone. The vampire king grew silent before he began laughing, his shrill cackle echoing in the dark and cold room of his subbasement dwelling.
Meanwhile, Walter was busy in Seras' own quarters explaining the situation. Seras leaned against the wall, drinking a blood pack as Walter explained.
"So we're off to Russia then eh?" she asked slurping the blood. Walter stared; amazed she was drinking blood on her own. He remembered after her first transformation how difficult it was to get her to drink. Putting that thought aside he nodded. "That is correct. Sir Integra wishes that we go and assist Mr. Sokolov and the Order of the Cross. It seems a massive strike force of vampires is on their way to attack Russia" he said.
Seras finished drinking and tossed the blood pack away, licked her lips and eyed the butler curiously. "Sounds like a plan then" she said as Walter nodded. "Well let us prepare then" he said turning to leave. At that point Walter eyed Seras' dresser, noticing something odd.
"Uh..Ms. Victoria?"
"Yes Walter?"
Walter at that point picked up a large book. It had a black cover with two hands holding up an apple. "What is this?" he asked holding the book up and turning to face her.
"Some book I found on one of our last missions. I haven't really read it yet. It's called Twilight, it's by an American author called Stephanie Meyer" Seras said shrugging.
Walter opened the book and began skimming through some of the pages. His eyes narrowed before widening considerably. Seras almost thought they would bulge from their sockets.
"Why this is, absurd!" Walter shouted causing Seras to blink in confusion. "What?" she said. Walter began reading some lines from the book.
"His glistening incandescent chest, his scintillating arms bare" he said with a mocking tone.
"I didn't bother telling him my stomach was already full- of butterflies" he read again. This time Seras cringed.
"And so the lion fell in love with the lamb. Oh my God this woman is sullying the vampire name. And worse they SPARKLE! What was she thinking?" Walter said tossing the book to the floor. And before Seras could stop him he placed on a black glove and in a swift elegant movement he used his micro fiber wires to slice the book to shreds.
"That book is an absolute sham. Vampires sparkling, why if Alucard were to hear such a thing God help that author" Walter said exiting her room and leaving Seras exasperated.
Meanwhile Integra sat in her office. Her line rang and after three rings she picked up.
"Hello?" she answered.
"Sir Integra, it's Rosette."
Integra paused. The New York accent seemed familiar. It wasn't terribly thick; in fact it was rather smooth. Perhaps Queens or Brooklyn?
"Rosette Cristobel, of the Nightstalkers. I'm calling because we have encountered some new information regarding LOD" Rosette said from her line. Integra leaned back in her chair, preparing for a lengthy discussion.
"What is it you found out Rosette?" Integra asked.
"One of our agents met with several of his contacts, all of whom had access to information from the underground crime syndicates. LOD had been heavily active there, buying out the mob and the mafia and erasing their surface activities. Unfortunately, they did not make it alive but not before giving us crucial information. We now have a better understanding of Klaus' goals" Rosette explained. She then explained to Integra everything Dexter had learned from his meeting with his contact. Klaus' search for the remaining devices, the true nature of each device and the mounting threat against Eastern Europe and Russia.
"Integra, the situation is growing more dire. I feel we should alert the Russians about the coming threat" Rosette said.
"I already have" Integra responded.
"You have?"
"Yes. You will find the Russians are well taken care of. They are protected by the Order of the Cross. A secret paramilitary strike force tasked by the Russian government with eliminating all supernatural threats. They are led by my friend and ally, Mr. Vladimir Sokolov" Integra explained.
"And you trust them I assume?" Rosette asked.
"Yes, are you familiar with the attacks here in London many years ago? The ones linked with terrorist bombings?"
"Yes. I suspected it was not terrorism then"
"Vampires. Long story short the Order came to our assistance. If LOD is massing a strike force then Hellsing shall lend our aid." Integra said strongly. Rosette grew quiet on her line before finally answering.
"Then so will we. Sion and Seth can lend their aid. But given the other information what should our first course of action be?' Rosette asked.
"First, we go to Russia" Integra began. "We help the Order of the Cross deal with their vampire invasion. After that we can divide our resources into finding the remaining artifacts. We know one is in Egypt the other in Carthage. But we need to be careful, if we're searching then so is LOD" Integra explained.
"I understand. I'll contact you soon about arranging for sending our men. Take care" Rosette said hanging up. Integra remained silent for some time before turning to Walter who tensed. "Get ready, we're heading for Russia" she said tossing her blond hair back.
In Russia…
Vladimir sat in a chair of his personal study room. Sitting across from him was Irina, and leaning against the bookshelf was Captain Reznov. Making a tent of his fingers, Vladimir folded one leg over and sighed. "I am so sorry for what Klara tried to pull, Vladimir. I never thought she'd go as far as that" she said solemnly. Vladimir shook his head, "There is no need to apologize. I know you considered her a friend but that is who she really is" he said.
"That aside, I've been talking with Colonel Gruzinsky. He says he is prepared to offer assistance when LOD strikes. Based on the date we now have about four days remaining before they plan to strike. Satellite imagery across the Ural Mountain Range shows that there are a large number of enemy troops marching across. By current estimates, they will reach Moscow by the evening on March 17th." Captain Reznov explained.
Irina shifted uncomfortably in her seat, crossing her legs and resting her hands in her lap. "But there's more" he began again. "We have also confirmed possible targets in Eastern Europe. Vladimir, this is proving bigger than anyone could possibly anticipate. This is a carefully planned and calculated terrorist attack striking different locations. We have a much bigger problem if these bastards have other targets." Captain Reznov explained.
Vladimir stood to his feet. "Captain, please contact our people throughout Russia. I want every key location put on high alert. Moscow and St. Petersburg seem to be the primary targets but we can't let our guard down." He then turned to Irina.
"Ms. Petrova, can you contact the Prime Minister and ask for him to approve of distributing additional troops? We're going to need the extra manpower" he asked. Irina stood to her feet, "I'll see what I can do" she said preparing to exit.
"Just one thing" Vladimir added as she turned to face him.
"I still insist you remain here at our agency. The threat against you and the other politicians is still active. LOD may be preparing for this strike against Russia but it is my strong belief you are still in danger. As I said, you are more than welcome to stay with us as long as it takes to stop LOD" Vladimir explained.
Irina just stared, for a long time. Her face contorted into a scowl before softening. "As you wish" she said simply and turned to leave. Vladimir sighed as Captain Reznov shook his head.
Meanwhile the wolf pack was busy preparing for the coming assault. Dante agreed to explain on his encounter with the super powered vampires. The pack listened intently as Dante explained.
"So basically, these things are much more powerful than any vampire you guys may have encountered. They're faster, far faster than anything I've ever seen. They're strong too; Let them wrap their arms around you and they will crush you to pulp within seconds. The demon blood drastically improves their durability and makes them immune to the more typical weaknesses. Garlic doesn't work, nor do wooden stakes or even silver and sunlight. But, because they have demon blood in their tissues they are more susceptible to blessed weapons. Holy water and blessed objects will burn them to crisp" the devil hunter explained.
Michael nodded his head, arms folded. Kathy stood beside him and Sergei and Raul on the opposite side. "Then that means we will have to try and make some special toys for these things. Thanks for the tip Dante. Ok guys we have a tough battle coming up. I say we begin stalking up on additional reserves. Ammo, clothes, supplies anything you might need" the alpha wolf instructed to his pack.
"Mountain Dew" Sergei said randomly.
Everyone turned and stared.
"What? The caffeine keeps me alert" Sergei said shrugging. There was silence, Hanya who was standing by Dante leaned close to the devil hunter and said "We need about three dozen crates" he said chuckling as everyone began laughing.
"Boss you think we have a shot at stopping these things?" Hiro asked Michael who smirked and flashed him a grin. "They may be strong but there are few things which can handle a pack as large as ours." He answered confidently.
Later, Michael and Dante reported their discussion to Vladimir who listened intently in his office. "Hhm so these things are immune to sunlight, silver, wood and garlic? Damn Klaus isn't trying to make this easy for us is he?" he asked jokingly.
"I say our best bet is to go for the use of Holy relics. There are two options: We can make ammunition forged from melted down crucifixes. Or we can take silver ammunition and fill it with a hollow core. The silver may only slow them down, but the hollow core can be filled with a concentrated mix of sacred water and ash." Michael said explaining.
"Good, I like that. I can arrange that. Anything else we might be overlooking?" Vladimir asked running a hand through his black hair.
"So Hellsing is coming to our aid? Then that means Alucard and Seras shall be here too" Dante said smirking. Vladimir noticed it, "Like I said. After this is over you and Alucard can blow each other's brains out" he said grinning.
Vladimir's phone rang and he went to pick it up. When he answered the response on the other side surprised him.
"Yes this is he" he replied as Dante and Michael looked on curiously.
"Mr. Sokolov, my name is Rosette Cristobel and I am with the Nightstalkers. We have recently begun working with Sir Integra and her forces to combat LOD" Rosette explained from her line. Vladimir narrowed his eyes. "Yes I recall her mentioning you." He answered leaning back in his seat.
"I'll be brief. Hellsing is on the move to aid you in your fight against LOD. We are offering our help too. I am sending two of my best men to Russia. Use them as you please."
"I appreciate that, Ms. Cristobel"
"Just Rosette"
"Right, Rosette. When can I expect your men to arrive?"
"We will be there the following day" Rosette said as Vladimir grew quiet.
"We? You are coming too?" he asked surprised.
"There is some information I must discuss with you in person. I hope it won't be unpleasant or an inconvenience" Rosette said.
"Nope, if Integra trusts you than so do I. We shall be expecting you soon Rosette" Vladimir said hanging up. He then had to smile; So much aid coming his way. Perhaps his prayer had been answered.
In New York…
Rosette hung up the line and stood from her desk. Sion stood against the wall as Seth stood in front of her desk. "Well?" Seth asked.
Rosette smiled, "Better work on your Russian. We're headed for Moscow boys. And remember, play nice. Alucard and Seras will be there as are the Werewolves" she said as they laughed.
"A Devil, a Shapeshifter, a Vampire and Werewolves all fighting a common enemy. Never thought I'd live to see the day" Seth said as he and Sion exited Rosette's office.
Two minutes later Dexter walked in. Rosette tensed, "the answer is no' she said sternly.
"Look babe relax. What happened at Inwood Hill is behind us. I survived and I'm fine." Dexter said. Rosette kept insisting that he stay behind and recover from his attack at the park rather than journey and fight in Russia.
She then went and sat on her desk, crossing her arms and folding one leg over the other and exhaled sharply. Dexter took in her appearance; Her fair skin and brown hair which she casually tucked a few strand behind her ear. Her gorgeous green eyes and alluring figure. Could she blame him? How could she expect him to leave her side for even a second?
"Dexter…I just. I just want to make sure things will go back to normal once this ends and we, you know, get married" she said weakly. Dexter paused, 'Sounds like you're having second thoughts" he said to which she quickly jumped up, grabbed his hands and stared into his eyes.
"No, don't even think it. I am not having second thoughts. I love you and I want to become your wife. But so much has happened and it leaves me unsure, of our future." Rosette said.
Dexter, despite her serious tone managed a warm light hearted laugh. "Since when can any person be sure of their future? Rosette when I asked you to marry me two years ago it was for a reason. I worry about our future too but you know what? As long as you're in my life my future is bright as far as I'm concerned. Without you, I've got nothing" he said.
Rosette smiled, squeezing his hands tightly. "I still remember when you proposed. It was so cute, you got so nervous and tongue twisted you had to try four times. I remember how Sion and Seth were hiding nearby and kept giving you the courage to ask me finally" she said as he grimaced but quickly covered it.
"I know I was shitting bricks that day. And look at us now" Dexter said pulling her close to him.
Rosette sighed, "I hate when you get all romantic, you know how hard it is for me to resist you." She said.
"Than does that mean you'll stop being such a worry wart?"
She nodded a yes. Leaning in she planted a kiss on him and said, "Come on big boy, it's show time".
Back at Russia…
Alex entered Irina's room. Shutting the door behind him he saw that she was standing on the far side of the room facing the window. She had a concerned look on her face. "What is it?" he asked.
Irina did not turn to face him. "I'm sick of it. I'm sick of the killings. The vampires, that assassin everything. I'm sick of being surrounded by so much death and now there is an assault coming against the city. When will it end?" she said.
Alex shrugged. "Well, that's the world we live in. It's easy to have such an idealistic and lily view of the world when you're married to a politician" he quipped. Irina slowly turned to face him. "Excuse me?" she said annoyed. "Well it's not like you've helped the situation. You play politics one moment with that cunt Klara. Then you go and play kiss up to Vladimir and feed him bullshit about how to play the game. Then you go and play the depressed widow. At least make your mind up" Alex said strongly, having grown tired of her attitude.
"How dare you" Irina said walking over, glaring harshly and folding her arms. "How dare you! My husband was murdered for God's sake and you people haven't done a damn thing to solve it" she snapped.
Now it was Alex's turn to glare. "So you blame all of us? I'm sorry for what happened and I'm sure he was a swell guy but you need to quit with all the bullshit politics and instead help solve his death. Or maybe you don't really give a shit and have a different agenda in mind" he replied. Irina stared, absolutely shocked. "Oh my God how could you even accuse me of such a thing?" she shouted. She then noticed the look he gave her and felt herself shaking with anger.
"I don't like that look"
Alex said nothing.
"You think I'm a careerist don't you?"
"Hey, you said it not me" he replied shrugging and turned to leave. Irina cut his path off. "You son of a bitch. I had to take a lot of shit from people like you. You think just because I'm a woman and in politics that I'm in it for the prestige. When a man is ambitious he's getting things done but when it's a woman she is a careerist and is a bitch"
Alex rolled his eyes, "Look all I'm saying is forgo the nonsense. Quit playing politics and instead make your husband's death mean something" he said turning away to leave. However, Irina had walked over and stood in front of the door, blocking his exit.
Alex again stepped forward. She did not budge. He continued stepping forward until he was inches away from her. "I need to go now" he said. She did not move. Alex grit his teeth and swore under his breath. "Please step aside" he said.
She still did not move.
Her arms were folded and her head low. "That was really fucked up what you said. I'm not playing politics Alex. I'm just scared and confused and angry and I almost don't know what to do" she said lamely.
Alex sighed, swearing under his breath. "I'm sorry; I shouldn't have said those things." He said. Alex inched closer, feeling the warmth of her skin. He was close enough to smell her lilac scented perfume and the sweet honeysuckle scent of her shampoo. Before he knew what had happened he had pulled Irina close to him in a deep and gentle embrace. Irina gasped slightly. "Your skin, it's so warm" she said.
Alex looked at her. "We uh...run kind of hot. Our body temperature is like 103 or 104. It's a Werewolf thing" he explained. Neither spoke for several moments.
Alex pressed closer to her body, her scent sending a sensation creeping into his loins. Irina felt her heart quicken and her skin flush. He leaned and before he realized or she could resist, then pressed his lips tightly against hers in a deep and passionate kiss. Holding the embrace he then wrapped his powerful arms gently around her body caressing and feeling her every curve, rubbing and squeezing her shapely behind.
Irina returned the kiss, breathing heavily as she grabbed his shirt by the lapel and pulled him close to her as she was pressed against the door. Alex picked her up, holding her in his strong arms as they kissed more passionately. Turning around he continued holding her as the made their way towards the bed. Gently placing her down he climbed on top and continued kissing and rubbing her body. Irina took her hands and felt along his shoulders and back. She felt the enormous amount of muscles along his body as it sent a rush through her.
Alex in turn took his hand and began to slide it up her skirt, feeling her leg and rubbing her thigh. Breathing harder he kissed her more frequently, shoving his tongue in her mouth as she returned the kiss. Alex paused, placing slow and delicate kisses along her cheek and the base of her neck. Irina's held rolled back, delighted by Alex's amorousness. Alex stood up straight, removing his shirt exposing his rippling physique. Tossing it aside he hovered over and began unbuttoning her shirt being careful to slowly expose her body. Irina felt along his abs, back and shoulders rubbing each muscle.
Alex fully unbuttoned her top as Irina slowly removed it. The sight of her breasts swinging freely sent a rush of desire; his desire literally rubbing against her. He then moved down, unbuckling her belt and slowly sliding her pants down taking notice of her luscious thighs and legs. After fully sliding them off he tossed them aside and watched as she began unbuttoning and removing his own jeans.
The two were so focused by their passion and desire for each other that they almost didn't notice the door creep open. In walked Sergei, headphones in his ears as he listened to an iPod and bobbed his head to the music playing.
Alex and Irina froze, staring at his twin brother who entered the room. He snapped his finger to the tunes and hummed the lyrics slightly. Turning he began to walk out but not before pausing. He slowly turned and stared at his brother on top of Irina, their clothes partially undone.
"Uh, Boss sent me to see if Ms. Petrova would assist him wi- Know what? Nevermind. I'll uh, say she's 'held up' at the moment" Sergei replied with a cheesy shit eating grin. He shrugged and proceeded to exit the room still jamming and humming to his iPod.
Alex and Irina turned back to each other, stared and burst into laughter. "Oh my God, your brother is probably going to tell Vladimir" she said giggling and covering her mouth.
"Nah. My brother may be an asshole but he's no snitch" Alex said chuckling. He again stared at her, taking in her features.
Ivory skin that was soft and smooth like silk. Her amethyst eyes, long hair, full ample chest and curvy voluptuous figure. She looked delicious; Alex struggled with his desires to keep them controlled.
"So…uh" Alex said weakly. Irina smiled, "Sorry but you'll have to wait before you get a taste of the goodies" Irina teased as she winked and kissed his cheek. "Tell you what" she began. "Once this is all over then we can have a nice, romantic dinner together. How does that sound?" she said with a smile.
"Sounds absolutely perfect" Alex said. They both sat up straight in the bed as he leaned in and gave her one last deep and passionate kiss.
Alex fumbled for his shirt as Irina fixed her clothing. "And I'll forgo the politics, you've convinced me" she said.
Alex paused, "Wait but that's not why I-" he began but she silenced him by placing her finger to his lips. "I know. What I like about you guys here is that you truly care. You care about justice. You care about protecting others. That, is something I have always found sexy in a man" she said smiling gently.
While Alex and Irina enjoyed some rather hot and heavy company, a very special guest was arriving at the estate's front entrance.
"I take it you're Dante's friend?' Raul said, his arms folded as he sized up the approaching visitor. He along with Hanya, Robert, and Raven watched their guest arrive. He was young with silver hair, blue eyes and dressed in blue and red clothing complete with a uniquely designed sword and his right arm heavily bandaged.
Nero smirked and said "I wouldn't call it friendship. More like we have a common interest in a good fight every now and then" he quipped. Raul narrowed his eyes, he could sense Nero's power. Fairly strong he estimated.
At that point Dante, along with Michael and Vladimir stepped outside. Vladimir blinked, "More guests for our fiesta?" he asked eyeing Dante curiously. The devil hunter chuckled, "I figured we could use all the help. The kid here is more useful than he looks" he said causing Nero to glare.
After some unofficial introductions they all were brought into Vladimir's office. "Dante here said he had a job for me. And the higher ups of my little club agreed and so they sent me here" Nero explained as Vladimir listened intently.
"The Order of the Sword. So the legend is true, the secret order slaying devils in the name of Sparda. Fascinating" Vladimir said. Nero shrugged, "If you say so dude."
"Well now all that remains is to wait for Sir Integra and the Nightstalkers to arrive. All seriousness aside, thank you for the aid, Nero, Dante. I will repay it, anything you would like, let me know" Vladimir said.
A large grin crept to Dante's face, "Don't suppose you know of any good pizza spots around her" he said as Nero rolled his eyes.
Vladimir laughed, he was really starting to like Dante. "Sure thing, there's this little spot my dad always took me too. I'll take you there before this is over" he said.
Robert and Hanya frowned. "You never take us anywhere, Boss" they said in unison.
"That's because you guys eat the whole damn pie before someone can even get a slice" Raven said chuckling and tossing her purple locks back.
With Hellsing and the Nightstalkers on the way and with Dante and Nero offering their assistance the counter to LOD's pending assault was set in place.
