Edith was not sure what she was thinking as she saw her brother, what she felt. She felt relief and yet she felt scared, she felt overjoyed, and yet she felt timid. Something was up and the way he looked, even without her newly developing telepathic abilites, she could tell that something was troubling him. She wanted nothing more than to run up and maul him in a hug. It seemed they saw little of eachother, which was true, but since she had joined the Shadow Stalkers, things had just gotten worse.
She was intent on getting her cell number to him so that he could call her or even make the HIN administrator allow her back onto the system so that she could communicate with the hunters. Edith still saw all the hunters as friends, nothing had changed, except where she worked and who she worked for. Even then, she still worked for her brother in a way. He was the whole reason she had become a part of this world, the reason her life was not boring, the reason it had purpose.
The vampiress was also glad to see Krii, yet she was unsure of whether or not Esou would try his stunt with Tokeru again. However, last time Tokeru had been on his turf sort of mouthing off so it was slightly Tokeru's fault. However, now was not the time to be dwelling upon such matters. She was here upon strict business, after all, she was, in a way, a head of the Shadow Stalkers. Ranked third, not bad at all.
Remembering her place, she allowed Tokeru, her leader, to speak before she did. If she had any questions that she thought were particularly important that Tokeru missed then she would be on top of them. But either way, Shadow Stalker affairs were now officially her business too. That and Kaji had seemed to have disappeared since Reno and Simon had been hammered. Evidently, Simon had been back at it as he stood in the doorway of the Chapterhouse, blabbering rather loudly.

Will just waved his hand at Krii'Ouse, a motion that meant "trust me, I know what I'm doing and all will be explained". He smiled at Edith, happy to see her despite the circmstances, then bowed to Tokeru slightly. "I'm here to settle a long standing matter which has caused troubles between our two organizations, and plead for aid. May I be allowed in?"
Barely waiting for a response, Will entered quickly and began searching for a tv and DVD player. Managing to find one, he popped in the DVD and explained what was happening on the screen as the images of him committing acts of unspeakable slaughter commenced. "This is a tape of security videos from Archangel Enterprises after my escape and during our combined assualt. Several copies were sent out, including this one which was received by Lydia. She was... troubled to learn the secret of what I did then and has left Haven. Obviously, as you can see from his presence on the DVD mocking Lydia, this was made and sent by Mauser, probably in an attempt to cause dissension amongst us and doubt in me. But he went one step too far with taunting Lydia, and gave us something we could definately use; I imagine he thought I'd destroy the DVD in anger when Lydia left before even watching it. He underestimated me. Watch this next part closely."
They watched as a camera showed Lydia in the sights of a sniper scope, the bullet thought to have come from Kaji tearing into her, and finally the relevation of the real culprit, Sniper. Silently, Will popped out the DVD and turned to them. "Kaji didn't shoot Lydia, Mauser set it up to look like he did. It was Mauser's first move in his new attack against us, a move intended to cause civil war. And it almost worked; as it is the ties between the NYHG and the Stalkers are weaker than they've ever been. But we have a common enemy, one we need to work together to defeat. We..."
Just then Will's cell rang, and the hunter leader pulled it out of his pocket. Looking, he was at first happy to see that it was Lydia, but that joy quickly turned to shock and fear. Wild eyed, he turned to Krii'Ouse. "Lydia... She's in truble... Captured... It's Mauser!"
Without any other word, Will raced from the chapterhouse, leaping astride his motorcycle and driving away like a bat out of hell, only one thought in his mind; Lydia.
((exit))

Krii'Ouse followed inside, listening to Will's briefing. As Will hushed them, and pointed at the screen, Krii'Ouse's mouth fell ajar. 'This wasn't on mine...' he said lowly. He watched as the sniper sights lined up with the place where Lydia'd been hit. 'It makes so much sense...' he said. 'But what happened to Kaji's bullet?'
He turned to Tokeru. 'Tokeru... I... uhm... I really don't know how to say this but... I'm... ashamed of my actions...' His head lowered, and he held out his hand. 'I apologise.' He looked up into Tokeru's eyes, his own eyes radiating bluish in colour.
As Will looked at his cell, Krii'Ouse turned to see William's agonisingly frightened expression, as if he feared for his life. 'Wil-' William's outburts broke his sentence before it began, and Esou's Alpha burtsed out of the Chapterhouse, and jetted off on his bike.
'Sorry Tokeru, gotta jet. I need to catch him up!' He retracted his hand, and his duster trailed him as the Omega Hunter blasted out to the Krii'Vette.
The Krii'Vette started before Krii'Ouse even got in. It was something he didn't do often, normally he faked turning the caron with the key. Really, he used his mind, and 'hot-wired' the car with his electrokinesis. Sliding in, he buckled up as the carshot out of the lot before his hands were on the wheel, though it was turning perfectly.
'Damn you, Mauser. This is the last straw...' His eyes burned red, and the Krii'Vette tailed after William's bike.

"It was kinda obvious Kaji hadn't shot her." Simon chuckled a bit, another attribute to being drunk. You laugh at everything. "At that range. With that rifle." Simon crossed his right index finger over his neck signifying death, "No torso." Simon drank more scotch, watching the other two hunters leave. Not being able to percieve the obvious in his current state, "Where are they going?"

Tokeru looked as Simon. "Don't you think you've had enough to drink? Simon, as your boss and a friend, I strongly recommend you stop drinking during you on time, and only drink during your off time, which ended about 5 hours ago. So tell me, What the hell are you doing?"
((Fine simi, you win))

Edith had pleasantly smiled back to her brother, she never had been good at being stoic or robotic. However, her smile was soon replaced with perplexion and slight disturbance at seeing her brother murder so brutally. Quite frankly, she had never seen him fight vampires or people in the flesh, she just knew he had, but never had she thought him capable of fighting with that much brutality, even if he was the leader of the Hunters. However, she was worse. At least he hadn't sucked them dry of their blood. At least they hadn't been fleeing when he attacked. It made her glad that Lydia hadn't seen her when she went into her blood lust mode. The screams, the terror, the memories. She had not only taken from them but their families, their friends whom had loved them, cared for them...
As she watched the take of the video where Lydia was getting shot, Edith could not believe that she had not seen it before. How could she have been so easily mislead? Then again, that meant no trial for Kaji, meant he was innocent and free of his charges. This meant that the Hunters and Stalkers could renew their trust in one another. Mend what had been broken. And had their alliance remained what it would have been if not for the video, she still would have fought alongside her brothers, her family. Never would they need to ask her that. She would always come willingly. Always.
When Will's phone rang, Edith stopped breathing, listening intently with her advanced hearing to what was being said on the small phone. It was more difficult to hear than it normally was but she got the jist of the conversation. Though Will's thoughts were slightly panicked and distraught, she was, after some furious straining, able to get where he was going out of him as he thought of Lydia. She had her lead, that was all that she needed, and now to follow after her big brother. She was now all business, she was a Stalker now.
"Tokeru," she said somewhat coldly as she switched into her serious mode, her instinctive mode, "I need a car. That or I'll tail Sethe on my own two feet. Come if you want, but I need to help my brothers, my sister."

Tokeru smiled, trying to make her laugh. "What? No angel? or please?"
He laughed at himself, not expecting Edith to laugh with him.
"Simon, go clean yourself up, I may not dictate your evey action, but I will not have drunk hunters on my watch. Being drunk leads to mistakes. mistakes that can cost people their lives."
He turned back to Edith and sighed. "Alright fine, but by the time we get to a car, they'll be long gone, we'll need to check out a few places, perhaps the high rise district, where the old mauser base was."

Damnit, Tokeru had a specialty of side-tracking her and making her laugh and behave like a teenager. She was no longer a teenager, she was legal drinking age now though she never took a single sip of liquor and she was responsible for herself now. "Please, Angel," she said with an almost innocent smile, "could we get a car and follow after Krii and Will? While I'm at it would you like me to grovel at your feet?"
Of course Edith had laughed with him, how could she not? Every time she was with him he found a way to make her laugh, to make her smile, to make her happy. There had never been a moment that she had been with Tokeru that she had not enjoyed, not that she could recall anyway.
"Simon," she said, shaking her head in mock disbelief, "I can't believe you got hammered again. How many times have you gotten hammered since I last saw you? I'm starting to wonder if I'm ever going to see you with a straight head again." Whether or not Simon laughed at her little quip, she laughed herself.
"That sounds like," she said with a wink, "a ******** good plan to me. If we span out we'll be bound to find Lyds quicker. Hopefully we're all careful so that we aren't getting ourselves hurt or killed. Then again, I'm probably the most likely out of us to do that so I think that there are no worries. Now lets.... roll!"

Tokeru smiled, almost taking her up on the offer of groveling at his feet, but thinking better of it. While he was lucky so far and she hadn't attacked him yet, who knew how long his luck would last, he'd never had good luck with women.
"Alright then, shall we go to the elevator m'lady?"

She lead him off, taking his arm into hers. "Oui," she responded with a straight face, "we shall go to the elevator." Edith was practically skipping, just being with Tokeru made her really giddy and it made her act and almost do stupid things that people would stare at her for. Yet she didn't care. She never had. And with Tokeru she was even worse.
"So," she interrogated with a normal tone, making it impossible to tell what exactly she was trying to get out of asking him this, "you were thinking about having me grovel at your feet, huh? What makes you think I'd attack you? And how have you had bad luck with the women?" As they walked toward the elevator, Edith was still clutching onto Tokeru's arm.

Tokeru smiled, and as the elevator door opened, pushed her into it.
"How dare you read my mind without permission." he grinned. If you're gonna read my mind, what am I thinking about now?
He thought back to just a few hours ago, when he and Edith had slept together, and smiled.

Edith chuckled, allowing Tokeru to push her into the elevator without a problem. "Jeez," she said in mock anger, "could you push any harder? Gosh, what are you trying to do? Smash me into the wall?"
"Of course," she said with an evil grin, "I read your thoughts without your permission. Good thing I did. I need to know when I have to kick your a** for thinking about some girl that's prettier than me. And you're thinking about how wonderful I am, of course. No one needs to read your mind to know that." She stuck her tongue out at him and nipped him with a lightning fast kiss.

Tokeru put his arm around her waist. "There is no girl prettier than you, well, not unless you have a clone. Then you'd be tied. But eventually, you'd come out ahead."
As she kissed him, he didn't let her pull back, and kissed her, at the same time, pressing the button to the garage, while pressing all buttons on the way down.

Edith had smiled as he put his arm around her waist, it made her feel like she was being protected and that she was all his. "You're," she said shaking her head, "such a huge-a** suck up. You're lucky I'm such a sucker for corny s**t, otherwise that might have fallen flat on someone else." She winked playfully to him.
The vampiress felt a rush of excitement burst through her as Tokeru returned her kiss and would not allow her to pull back. She felt even more excited when she heard him press every button to every room on their descent. It made her wonder how long it would take them, how long he was planning on keeping her like this. But most of all, it excited and intrigued her.

Tokeru half-roughly pressed her up against one of the walls of the elevator, and raised her up to sit on one of the handrails.
He didnt care if anyone did see them, or what they thought. But he knew that when he was with her, he felt like he could do anything with her, to her. Felt like he could say anything to her.
His placed his hands on the small of her back, and pushed her up against the wall.
