It was easy enough to tell what they were talking about. "superhuman" hearing was handy in that way. I quickly took the phone from the man next to me and spoke in a calm voice. " so you want to hire me huh? Whats in it for me?" I asked with false nonchalantness.

Anything he wants. "Anything you could want, money wise and material item wise of course." I speak with a calm so easy on the ears, a normal man would feel at home wherever he was. "I can fit any price."

I pause for a moment. Money was such a material object. However i did tend to love material objects, however there was something else on my mind. " I don't suppose you could get an outcast back in his city." I somehow recognized the mans voice. " what makes you think I'd be such a good assassin? I've only been in the city for a while, and only 3 people witnessed the only fight I've been in so far. . . So i'd have to say your that kitsune from that weird place." I paused for a moment and admired my own intelligence. "25 grand for a normal kill. an extra 5 grand to get rid of the body and leave no traces." It was a high price but hey. I was one of the best.

I smile, but no trace of it is in my voice. "What the hell is a kitsune?" I then raise an eyebrow, that reflecting in my voice. "I don't even know what those are, but if your good, I don't need to worry about your mental health. I can see what I can do about your situation, yes, and the money is yours, the man next to you got a high priced motorcycle and a cool thirty grand, so whatever your price is. But the man is the head of the C.I.A. office here in Dresden. Kill him, and I will wire you your money, to an inconspicuous account of course. Oh, and make sure its clean, no evidence that is. And very bloody."

I bit my nail for a second before replying. " Head of the C.I.A huh? Thats pretty high up for you humans no? I'll take the thirty grand like i said. But theres something else. Ya see I'm an outcast from my city. You probably figured that out from my last statement. Anyway I had this nice family blade. They wouldn't even let me have that when i was. . . banished. Can't even get in the city if i wanted to. One of the higher ups made a barrier specifically for me. If you could get that sword back I'd just love that. I'm sure with your strong connections you'll be able to tell which one it is. Thats my price, take it or leave it." I didn't care how powerful this man or any of his lackeys were. . . there was no way he'd be able to get it back. . . i was testing him.

I smile. "Hmm, that, may be hard, seeing as I know what you are." I smile again. "But I can manage quite alot of things. I could probably pull a couple underworld string, but I am sure it will take some time." I was dispensing the right information, but keeping the other right information to myself. "Of course, if you could tell me what I am getting myself into."

Underworld connections? hmm. . . this man was either insanely powerful or crazy. I was hoping for the first one. " Well as I'm sure you know Drow tend to focus on magic . . . not technology. Some of those flash bombs would would work nicely but, I don't think you could do that to a whole city. IF ya did they'd retaliate instantly knowing it was someone from the upperworld. I'm sure you could get some demon with a strong defense against magic he could possibly pull it off" I said the last part with obvious sarcasm " But honestly It would be best to rely on stealth and well . . . A way of going undetected against magical sentries. They can sense when somethings amiss. That would take a strong sorcerer though. But well. . . thats your best bet. And as I'm sure you know it's going to be in the Baenre mansion. It'll be in the west wing. most likely the second room on the right." i bit my lip for a moment, holding back a bit of the truth. "And now you tell me, that man being a higher up is going to be gaurded at all times isn't he?"

I quirked an eyebrow, head of the C.I.A.? "You...wouldn't happen to need my skills now would you?.....By the way if you gave me my phone back that would be awesome." That last sentence was in a very sarcastic voice. After all, I had been the one that found him...or had he found me? Didn't really matter to me, this was my fault! And I wouldn't let him take the fault when it was rightfully mine!

I looked at the guy and the handed him back his phone. " I don't see why i would need them. You saying i can't do it on my own. . . and. . . my name's Jarlaxle Daenre. Who're you?" I asked him making it seem like i didn't care. But i did. This man who had beaten me. . . I needed to know who he was. . . i needed to surpass him.

I grinned and closed the phone, not realising the line was still connected and stuck out my hands, "My name is Jairn, Jairn Donale. So....whats a drow?" Hopefully that would anger him, he did deserve it. Suddenly i noticed the strange outfit he was wearing, mine was better ofcourse, but it was still an interesting outfit to be sure.

I made a cross face at him " ha ha very funny." I reluctantly offered him my hand and took note of him eying my outfit. " I'm of noble blood. I only wear clothes that would fit my royal bloodline. Unlike you humans i don't go around wearing t-shirts and jeans. But. . . Its nice to meet you" I said the last part like a child reluctantly saying sorry when he gets in trouble.

I hold the cell phone in my hands thinking. "If I do it, I could get in trouble. One by him knowing I must be either me, or he will know I am someone very close to those who know me. This could get tricky..." I babble on, thinking aloud. "I know!" I smile. Who needs to tell him, I actually went there? I was a spy, and even better, a pirate, so it wouldn't be hard for me to slip in, and slip out. I have stole from my father, his father, and even the King of Kings' tomb. Of course, that would probably tip him off. I better play it safe and just have Scarlet help me. Nah, she would get furious with me... I needed someone strong, someone who could go in undetected. But whom? I smile with confidence. "Oh, grandfather!" An all white fox appears. His face suspicious. "Hehe, I need you, you know to help me out perhaps." He starts to shake his head no, but I persist. "Its a, thieving job. Its not anything big, its just to, get an outcasts blade back. He is of noble spirit." He eyes me. "Or I can get Conleth to do it. He does worship another god." He growls at me.
No way are you going to get him to do it. Even if he is a good friend and doesn't have our exact morals. Fine, I will do it. Lay it on me. He mentally speaks to me. I smile, and discuss what he will be doing.

I shrugged, "Well if you hadn't notice I dont exactly wear t-shirts and jeans..." I looked down at my shirt, silky, but firm enough not to crumple, my gloves where on a match, dark purple with rich purple scrollwork. My pants where black silk that was just tight enough to make no sound, my soft-soled leather shoes barely made a sound either. "And that wasn't a joke, I was born in the city, not any noble house or anything...infact I've only seen a few non-humans from when I assassinated them, their magic disguises fell off when they died. I've never seen a drow before."

It had been a few years since Scarlet had set foot on the streets of the city that she use to protect.She was now making her way down the one of the allys that she use to haunt all the time and would almost always end up running into Drako doing something stupid. Scarlet sighed and peered down into a puddle.Her hair was the same Firery red that it always was but it was down to her knees now and her eyes still held the red and black color as well as her famous scars on her right eye.Her horns had been replaced by her crown so that she did not appear so demonic. She was comeing to the city to pay a visit Vincent and maybe Drako if he was in town from his universe.She really missed her husband somtimes but they each had to rule there own.Her long red cloak billowing as she dissapeared into the dark fogged up streets.

I looked at him for a moment " No need for me to wear any disguise. Anyone trying to kill me would find it quite a hard job." I looked at his clothes then. They were o.k. i thought but those were obviously very formal for humans. Mine were considered casual wear. I never could understand that.
