"Oh any direction is fine, so long as we don't get lost." Putting his hands back in his pockets he continued. "So, what do you do Tory? If that's not too personal for someone you just met of course." Smiling a bit more, he seemed in a good mood. And that was true. It was always nice to meet new people. But more importantly, always in the back of his mind was Balance, and tonight it seemed it would be so easy.

Tory reached up and tucked her hair back behind her ear as he asked his question. “Oh no, I don’t mind at all. I run a microbiology lab, I’m also doing some historical research, and taking care of some personal business.” She answered with a care free smile. Slowly she looked up to the sky. The neon lights blotted out the starts and at times the moon. “It’s the only things stopping this place from being perfect.” She sighed before looking back to Richord. “And what exactly do you do?”

Name: Amanda Colton Theme: save the hero Quote: You are safe for They are the prey... I am the hunter. Location: city street, downtown
Weapons: one hand guns with silver bullets, a few pocket knives with silver blades. Equipment: bullet proof vest, hand cuffs, basic cell phone, junk car.
The Edge :
Most hunters are nothing more and mere humans, but a few have an edge to their fight. This edge isn’t supernatural nor can it trump any supernatural ability but it help to give a slight hand up in the fight against the monsters that go bump in the dark.
Be Calm- This ability is just as it sounds. She radiates inner calm inhibiting drastic action and slowing down reaction times, while also stifling anger, relieving fear and lessening senses of urgency.( It can’t brain wash or make a person do something against their will. But it can calm down a group of screaming humans long enough to get business taken care of. )
Insinuate - By treating the supernatural as people, rather than monsters the she can upset and strain their foes, making it harder for the opponents to focus on subsequent attacks.( It’s kinda like having a really good reputation and it makes you less likely of a target. But at the same time the monsters will come to you when they are backed in a corner. )
Potent Blood- there is something about her blood that makes her heal just a little faster than normal. This also means if a vampire feeds off her, they will get more from her blood than other humans. It makes this power a double edge sword.
Having informants was always a good thing. At this point time it was also something she was sorely lacking. She looked over at him to the corner of her eye for pulling out her lighter and lighting her cigarette. Amanda took a long drag blue smoke out slowly. "Well Mr. informant, do you have the name?" She asked pushing off the wall with her foot. One arm is folded across her chest with a hand resting on an elbow. While the other arm was held up to hold cigarette as she spoke. Slowly she bridge the gap between them and leaned against the wall next to him. The slight smirk spread on her lips as she watched her partner stroll by a few times. His suit the slicked back hair almost made her want to laugh. "Let's say I did need some information how to go about contacting you?" Was common practice after all to use informants to try to find possible leads on things other than illegal activities. "And how do I know your information is good? What kind of information?"

"Anguis" ╔══════════════╗☯╔══════════════╗
Anguis watched her as she closed the space between them. A good move to keep the conversation a bit more private. Maybe she needed some questions answered after all. "Anguis," he introduced with a tip of his hat, "a name familiar to those who seek it. However, I am not one easily found." He tapped his cheek, "If you really need me, you'll have to just find me as I have no set routine. Unreliable? Yes but I would grow bored if I stuck to such a routine. However, I come here fairly often usually at the pit of night when life is at its peak. If you wish to leave me a message, find a gold 47 between two green lights. You'll know it when you see it. Just slip it into the mail slot, I will get it." He rolled his head to look at her with an even smile, "Ah, the services of an informant all rely on trust. The informant trusts that he will be paid and the buyer trusts that the information is true. It all depends on what you need to know," he finished. His words and mannerism was sometimes confusing however, if he were to continuously give out false information, he would lose trust and value so people would stop looking for him. That wasn't the case though, people still went out of their way to get information, after all knowledge wasn't free and he wasn't called a snake for nothing.

"I see. Well that certainly sounds impressive. As for me, well, I'm just a simple doctor." It was a bit late, but he looked up to see what she was talking about. "Yeah, I see what you mean. But it's not all bad, I do know one place that's rather...interesting. If you wanted to see it that is. It may not compare to the stars, but it helps." Richard smiled once more, as if remembering the place. It was a good spot he had seen once, and he was a bit eager to go back.

For now she was pleased with the little tidbits of information that she got from him. His name, way to contact, and how often he frequented the Vegas district. Just with that information alone in make him slightly easier to track. “And surely you don’t come by any of your information you illegally.” Her question came out more like a statement. After all she was still a cop and when it was all said and done she had to make sure the law was upheld. Amanda was happy with the acquirement of the new informant. Just as she is starting to relax and even enjoy herself a little her partner came strolling by with a rather urgent look. Quickly Amanda huffed down her cigarette and through the butt on the ground. A heavy boot came down and twisted the smoldering remains as she took off down the street without a word to Anguis. They made an odd pair. Her partner still looked all slicked up and she was in her boots, faded jeans, and T-shirt. They were almost jogging as they went along and turned sharply into an alley. The two hunters got there just in time to see a vampire snacking on a streetwalker.

She paused when he asked her to join him someplace. Tory didn’t mind walking with Richard in the public area where there were lots of people around. The heading off someplace unknown with a stranger was just a little too reckless for her taste. “Where is this place? Will there be other people around?” She asked with some hesitation in her voice. It would be foolish to assume that her new friend was safe just after meeting him for a few hours.

Richard froze in place as he realized what he had asked. "I'm sorry, that must have sounded really...shady. I'm not sure what I was thinking. I should...probably go, again I'm sorry." He quickly began walking away down a short, empty alley that connected visibly to another street. Muttering to himself about how stupid he is and seeming quite distraught over what happened.

"Wait..." She called, quickly going after him. "It wasn't like that." She almost lost sight when he went down the alley. Tory turned and followed him down since it connected to another street. She didn't feel that worried about things. "Richard.." She called as she slowed down some walking up to him. "I didn't mean it like that. I'm sorry."

Richard stopped, his head hung low. "It's alright. It's been my curse as long as I can remember. Always saying the exact wrong thing. It's why I tend to avoid people, why I'm not very social. Sooner or later, I always come off as some weird, creepy...thing." He sighed, as if long sick of telling this story, his hands once more in his pockets.
Anguis chuckled lightly, "Rest assured Police Girl," he replied in an even tone. Then he watched quietly as she suddenly had to leave. He gave her a small wave as she walked off with a man. When she was out of sight, he let out a sigh. Looks like he found himself another client. Too bad she didn't need his information yet though. He pulled the edge of his hat down some so it was right above his eyes. He turned out of the alley and walked down the street blending into the crowd. He would become invisible amongst them becoming a part of them, he disappeared.

"Come on.. don't be that way." she said, almost rolling her eyes. Tory really hated weenie men. "Lets go back to the main strip and get back to having fun.Maybe after I get to know you better then we can go check out your place.. ok?" She looked around the alley to see if she could spot anyone. Maybe another person there to talk him up might help. "Lets go get some drinks, ok?"
Richard sighed and turned around, a weak smile on his face. "Yeah, that sounds nice. Okay, lead the way." He gestured for her to go ahead, staying just slightly behind. She would go ahead, it was practically instinct. And once she did, he would spring his surprise before she left the alley. And it was a great surprise, no one ever saw it coming.

She smiled softly as she walked on ahead. There was almost a sigh of relief as started out of the alley way. "So where too? A bar, sushi, Italian maybe?" Tory asked before looking over her shoulder. "I don't really drink to much alcohol so someplace with a variety would be good."
Richard's smile changed when she turned her back. It went from a weak, almost shy one, to a sick, demented grin. His hands came out of his pockets, one with a syringe. Equilibrium. He advanced quickly, before she could get out into open view. But she turned, it was too late to stop now. Not while he was so close. Balance. He'd been in this position before, not often, but it always worked out. He tried to cover her mouth with his free hand, while using the other to jam the needle into her arm. If he succeeded he would drag her back into the alley and leave her to die. The needle contained no toxin, only air. But once air was injected into the bloodstream it would send air bubbles into the heart, causing cardiac arrest and, in every case thus far, death. For each life saved one is taken. Equal.
