Gambler came right behind Monty's big body and poked her head around him, looking at Rave. "Then I guess I should up the city's game of getting a kick a** mage to make the city not pathetic and more cool huh?" She said. "Excuse me, I heard you while coming up." She said, standing next to Monty. Monty didn't say a word or flinched. He wasn't afraid of the look. Some would think him stupid for that but he wasn't. That was just him. "Perhaps." Was all he said and looked at Gambler telling her what the situation was in his language.
She looked up at him sharply. "What? But...He's supposed to be dead. You just can't get up from what we did to him. That's just nuts." She said with disbelief. "Apparently it's possible." "But you don't understand. I "accidently" cut his head off after everyone had their piece of him. It would take alot of proper get his head." Gambler slapped her forehead. "Just don't make anyone mad, Monty." She turned on her heel and ordered Joker to call everyone in the field of magic to go straight to the warehouse and to stay there. "Is there anything you need us to do, Rave?" She asked, looking over her shoulder at him.

Muttering curses, Rave just crossed his arms. "Find Talon and ask him. I'm going back to Haven." Before anyone was able to speak, he was gone once again. Kalore groaned, leaning against the wall. "Great...Ziggy's missing...Lucien is back...And now Rave's pissed...Lovely!"
Back in Haven, Kyin was working like hell to get things done. When Rave came, all that was done was a nod and the two were working like hell to find the man.
Talon on the other hand was doing something else. Taking out his phone, Dusk was finally called. "Come on...Come on...Pick up you annoying b***h..."
Phone ringing loudly, Dusk went from being in Kyoshi's arms to jumping in the air and landing on the floor. "What the f-?!" Looking around, she found her phone. "WHAT?!" Talon spoke and told her what was going on. "s**t...Kyoshi! Get up!"

Gambler walked out and was speaking quietly with Joker and the Twins. Monty left the room and entered the conversation and argued about closing the city up again. Gambler shook her head. "No. We are not going to be involved until Rave says otherwise. I want my city to be looked as a safe place for the bad guy to hide in since all of the elven world is becoming aware of it. And why the hell aren't you guys talking with these guys?! Go talk to them now!" Everyone entered the room and lined up. "I need details. I need your thoughts. What do you suggest?" Gambler had to be ready if Lucien stepped one foot in her city so she can bag him and break him.
Kyoshi twitched wake and sat up. "Hm?" He yawned and rubbed his eyes of sleep. "What happened?" He asked gruffly, following her order to get up.

Dusk was already up and moving, putting on the normal outfit for leaving the building and going on the streets. Fear was in her voice as she spoke, "Ziggy's been kidnapped!"
Eldin poked his head in and coughed. "Um...Dusk has just been alerted...Um... Rave and Kyin think that they may have found a lead..." The boy's phone was in his hand, showing the others how he knew all this. "Um...Rave is heading over to someplace that no one really knows and Kyin is wanting to talk with the leader, um, Miss Gambler..." The poor boy was being a nervous wreck...

Gambler nodded and took the phone but hugged Eldin. "Relax. You have a big and scary demon here to look out for you. And a funny berserker and two of the cutest boys in the world. As for me? I'm just me." She patted his shoulder gently and put the phone to her ear. "Hello? This is Gambler or Miss Gambler. Who's this?" Eldin did say who it was but this was the phone and you can never be to sure with weirdo's running around the place.
Kyoshi took a moment to let that sink in and freaked out. He didn't dress up like a freaking hitman and instead put on some sneakers and a sweatshirt with a hoodie and got a few of his guns on him. "WHAT?!" He hurried his steps to follow Dusk.

Dusk took a moment to look at him. "You look like a gunman who is going out for a jog..." But she sighed. "I said that Ziggy has been kidnapped. Apparently Rave's old mentor is searching, but we don't know much else than that. Talon is meeting me on eight." As she spoke, the woman was walking out.
On the other end of the phone, an old but strong voice spoke. "Hello Lady Gambler. My name is Kyin Marcessa. I would like to speak with you face to face please. Rave should be coming back after he is done with...something else. Would that be okay?"

Gambler's eye brow's rose at the word 'Lady.' "Of course that would be fine. Can I bring one of my guys with me or is this a private meeting?" She didn't mind being alone with a total stranger that knew Rave but she was a boss and she needed to at least have one back up. Then again, she wasn't a boss when she was helping her guys because they were the ones really in charge.
Kyoshi rolled his eyes at Dusk. "This gunman wants to be protected from weirdos in the park." He drawled. "I'm going with you because chances are everyone knows now and oh Gambler knew that I was going to give her hell about us staying here. So, I wanted to tell you that. Now let's go get Ziggy back." He was serious and determined, even for a jogger.

Dusk nodded and quickly the two were back in Talon's place. Ali was the one that greeted them. "What are you doing out of bed, honey?" The little girl looked sad, "Where's Ziggy?" Dusk sighed, "We don't know...But we're gonna find him, okay?" Ali nodded and went to Kyoshi. "You two smell the same...Are you guys back together?" the older woman smirked at that as she went to find Talon.
"That is fine by me. Is there anyplace that you would like to meet, Lady Gambler?" It was becoming apparent where the elves got their manners...

Kyoshi looked surprised at Ali and then smelled his sweatshirt and frowned. "I smell like Dusk? That's not good." He teased and patted Ali's head affectionately. "So, yes we are. Is that good?"
Gambler smiled. She liked manners in people alot. The elves were going to be her favorite group of people one of these days. Maybe they already are. "Anywhere is fine. As long as it's some place comfortable to you then it will be for me." She wasn't here to be made comfortable, this was a meeting and if this guy didn't want to meet at a coffee house then that was fine. Anywhere he wanted was fine with her.

"Rave tells me that there is a good coffee shop in your city? Choose a good one and that will be fine for me." The man nodded, letting the woman choose.
Ali smiled and hugged his leg, "Yes. That is very good. Does she still have you whipped?" Dusk started laughing, but Kai came in and stopped everything. We're at a standstill...we don't have anymore trails, but supposedly, the elf is coming and he's got some." Dusk sighed and leaned against the wall. "So we wait.."

Gambler smiled big. "There's one called Holder's Coffee. That one has the best cappachino's and lattes ever. I'll meet you there with one of my men. No more and no less. I will be armed but only for protection. I tell you this so that you, Sir, aren't caught off guard and won't be alarmed. Those are precautions. Is that fine with you?" She wasn't going to put the man through heart attacks because lord knew that she could if people weren't aware of her.
Kyoshi patted Ali's head. "Not a chance." Then he looked at everyone. He was here to help them and there was no way in hell was he going to say anything that would compromise them. Only because he didn't know what the details were.

Ali raised a brow, "Oh yeah...You're so whipped." Dusk smirked, knowing that she wasn't lying. "When is he getting here?" Kai shrugged, "No clue."
There was a small chuckle that sounded a lot like Rave's but was fully Kyin. "I wouldn't expect anything else, Lady Gambler. I shall be there with my student in ten minutes." And the line went dead.

Kyoshi shook his head. "I don't know what your talking about Ali. I'm not whipped. If I was, there would be a leash and collar but there isn't." He pointed out. "It's Kitten that I have whipped." He said with a smirk.
Gambler handed the phone back to Eldin. "Who wants to come with me for some coffee with a mysterious elf?" She asked. Joker and the Twin's raised their hands up with eagerness. She couldn't help but chuckle. "I'm going to take Joker. I said one can come, my little dears." She said to her Twins. Both pouted in understanding. She looked at Monty. "I want you here in charge of making sure no one gets in my building without breaking my wards. I entrust the safety of the Twins, Kalore and Eldin to you. Should anything happen, get out via the roof. Call me and I'll send you a helicopter." She walked to the door and looked at everyone. "Let's not worry so much, okay? If you have to leave then do so, okay?" She said looking at Kalore and Eldin. "Just be safe?"
Without letting anyone say anything she was going to take the stairs but went down one flight with Joker at her heels and entered an apartment. She walked to the window and grabbed Joker's hand and jumped off and did a free fall down to the ground and landed on her feet like a cat. Joker stumbled a bit but he was okay. "We are going to Holder's. We have like nine minutes to get there." "Calm down. It's a meeting." "Yeah but this is like someone old and cool and mysterious and someone with manners. It would be shameful to not even be there when they arrive." Joker chuckled knowing that Gambler wanted to make a good first impression and sped walk to the cafe. "And don't look at the guy like he's crazy."
Monty sighed and went to sit down. "In the meantime, let's sit down and calm down." He said, massaging his temple. The Twins nodded but on was positioned at the windows and the other at the door.

Calm was sadly the last thing on Kalore's mind as he muttered, "Eldin...Is Rave going?" The younger boy nodded, "Y-Yeah..." For the next couple minutes they spoke calmly to each other, a sign that something was seriously wrong. The two were only nice to one another when it was absolutely necessary. Kalore and Eldin were next to each other on the stair well, muttering. Eldin was mostly asking about how Rave found Lord Kyin, but Kalore just shrugged with the reply, "It's Rave."
"Come now boy...Calm down." "Calm?" The low toned voice of Rave was slightly higher than normal as the two sat down in Holder's. "How can I be calm, m'Lord?" Kyin, the old aged elf with perfect skin but silver hair sighed. He was in a pair of black loose pants and a black and white top, Rave in a similar uniform. Both looked exhausted. "The Venom boy is missing, taken by a dead man, I'm in a group with people that I either want to shove out the window or hold, it's annoying!" Kyin chuckled, "I heard about your little stunt a few days ago...Nicely done."
For the first time, Rave looked a little flustered as he blushed slightly, "Well...As you can see, there's no way for me to be calm!" Kyin leaned on the table as the waiter set an espresso in front of him and black coffee in front of Rave. "You'll find a way. Now, calm. You're the calm one, and if people see you like this, it'll be hopeless. Go to the washroom and calm down, m'boy." Rave nodded, sighing, and left.
Everyone in the room looked at Kyoshi, smirking. Dusk grinned, "Kyoshi, I'm going to stay here for a while, be a comfort and such. Since you don't like it here you can go home once we know what's going on. I'll keep you posted." The look in her eyes and the tone in her voice dared him to say otherwise. Ali giggled. "Sure, Kyo-Kyo...Sure..." And she skipped off to where James probably was while Kai came up and hugged Dusk, muttering, "We needed that...Thanks." She smiled and kissed his cheek, just like a sister would. "I figured...But he's still on the couch or alone for a while for that comment."

Monty stood up pacing thinking about some people who can have that ability but the only thing that came up was silly questions of why? Why would anyone bring that guy back? What's their reason for it? Why now? And why abduct said person? Too many more questions that couldn't be answered until they found the bad guy. And when they do, he hoped that he would get a chance to break him for those answers.
Gambler walked in Holder's with her sunglasses on and in her nice suit. Joker came in with a serious expression, his eyes darting left and right looking around people who were suspicious. Gambler spotted a man with silver hair and the only one who seemed to stand out of the little crowd. She walked over and stopped in front of him with a bow. "I assume your my mysterious caller? I'm Gambler and this is my back up Joker. I'm pleased to meet you." She said with a warm smile and held out her hand to shake the man's hand.
Kyoshi raised a brow. "How about I stay here and just either mooch about or I can be of help should it arise. Besides, it's going to seem pretty odd that a jogger is armed." He said, crossing his arms over his chest. "And I don't mind being here." He added.
