No longer alone

[Ahmad]

America, a place Ahmad had never been, in his two thousand years of being alive, he had never been. Then again, for most of his life America wasn't around. When the plane finally landed, everything seemed so light out, even though it was the dead of night, but then again in America, how dead can night really be? His flight finally descended. He turned to Anna on the plane, and tapped her arm lightly to wake her up. "We've landed." He walked off the plane, grabbed his bags, and headed off to a hotel hoping Anna was following. He checked into the room and walked to the elevator as it climbed to the third floor of the hotel. When he entered the room, he saw the two bedrooms on either side of the room, a small kitchen and sitting area. It was a cozy complex in Ahmad's opinion. He unloaded his things into his room, and walked out into the main room and pulled out a single file on one vampire he had been interested in contacting.

As he looked, the vampires name was Donovan, and he was living somewhere near by according to his scout. He liked the way his scout always had a way with organizing files for Ahmad to clearly and easily identify who he was going after. Ahmad flipped through the files over and over again to learn as much as possible about this Donovan character. As soon as he finished looking over the files, he set them on the table next to where he was sitting. He looked in the fridge, his scout had secured a few bags of blood, he pulled one out and poured himself a drink of it. As he was sipping on the blood, he sat and turned on the television to watch the news for anything crucial that he should know about this city. Not even looking to see if Anna had made it to the room yet. "Hey, on the table, bit of light reading for you, this is who we are here for. His name is Donovan, he's a vampire, alone as far as we know. We have come to offer him a home with us, we need to be united. So hopefully this goes peacefully." Ahmad was confident that Anna could handle this first assignment, but Ahmad tagged along because he was interested in overseeing Donovan and what he could do.

[Anna Carter]

Anna was somewhat hesitant, at first, on going on a mission with her mentor, seeing as the last time he had taken her somewhere, she nearly had a breakdown. Once she found out that the destination was her beloved home, however, any shred of doubt she had vanished in an instant. She was excited to finally get back to the United States. She hasn't been there for quite a while, and even if she won't get a chance to visit her parents, she still had nearly jumped out the window in excitement that filled her guts by the thought of seeing some familiar grounds at long last. She has lived there most her life, and traveled a lot, so she knows the country almost as well as the back of her hand.

Anna grabbed only one bag - filled with clothes and other essentials - before getting on the plane with Ahmad. Instead of dressing like a super sportswoman, Anna decided to wear a more business-like uniform: A grey cowl neck top underneath a grey wool blazer. Black, slim trouser pants, and black loafer pumps instead of the normal snickers. The suit set more comfortably than she had expected, thanks to the years of practice she had with them while living with her business-duo of a parents. Anna had slept nearly through the entire flight, only waking up on occasion to either grab something to eat, drink, or visit the restroom. She always returned to sleep quickly, though, as there was nothing else to do on the plane.

Her slumber was interrupted by Ahmad's tapping on her arm. She didn't bother questioning his methods of waking people up, and instead followed him to the hotel. Once there, she wanted badly to complain about getting stuck with Ahmad in the same suite, but when she saw the size of it, and the number of bedroom, she no longer had any complaints. "I hope we're gonna get some measure time. I would love to get acquainted with the local shopping malls, boutiques, and beauty salons." She mumbled, mostly to herself, but she did hope Ahmad would hear, and fulfill, those simple wishes. Grabbing Donovan's files, Anna sat next to Ahmad and began shuffling through the papers. Since her last so called "Training Test", Anna had began taking things slightly more seriously, and for that reason, she dwelled less on Donovan's appearance details, and looked more for important details, such as his age, which would directly influence his level of power. "This guy is no joke."

[Ahmad]

Ahmad began to pace back and forth across the room, the sun would rise in little under an hour. He walked over to the curtains and closed them. "This man, Donovan Hood, as far as we know has been alone for most of his life. Not too many vampires in his life, he has been around for a while, not many must have helped him in his life time, but he surely must know what he is doing to be able to survive this long. But tonight we don't have time to do anything to prepare, we will begin tomorrow night. And Anna, just know that I am proud of you." Ahmad went over to Anna and was about to lean in for a kiss, but then he realized what he was doing, he quickly withdrew to his shower to wash off and clear his mind. As the waters soaked over him, he tried to think of what to do, how to begin this plan of convincing Donovan to join them. Seeing as he had been alone for a long time, Ahmad knew he wouldn't be too trusting of any outsiders, so he would have to try to gain his trust somehow, but how. He continued to mull things over in the shower as he pondered what the next night would bring.

[Anna Carter]

Most of what Ahmad said about Donovan was written within the files, so it was unnecessary to voice it. If Anna had learned anything from her time with him, though, it's that he just loves to make a good speech, and honestly, it wasn't bad. At least he wasn't the typically silent vampire you might see in the movies: Creepy and never talks. Ahmad was quite the opposite, actually. When he reached down to her, however, Anna had a difficult time deciding whether to kick him where it hurts the most, or simply shoot him in the face right then and there. Was the business suit and serious attitude not enough to make her look like a woman on a mission? Honestly, there was no stopping the guy, and that made Anna slightly smile as she shook her head. It was crazy shameless, of course, but also somewhat entertaining and, well, easy as far as tension went.

Once Ahmad disappeared into the bathroom and the sound of water poured out of there, Anna rose from her sit and approached the refrigerator, where she found herself a nice bag of crimson blood to drink. After filling up a glass with it, she consumed the blood as if it was ordinary water. It immediately sent a refreshing surge of energy through her body and left her feeling almighty again. She wasn't almighty, obiously, and she knew that, but hey, she was a vampire, after all, and not a helpless one. That gun on her belt, hiding under the jacket was also helping intensify the feeling of invinsibility. Yes, she felt darn powerful. Still, as powerful and mighty as she felt, she had managed to get bored all the same. With nothing to do, she walked to the bathroom door, and leaned against the wall opposite to it, waiting for the big talker to walk out.

[Ahmad]

Ahmad finished up his shower, and after drying off he assumed that Anna had just gone to bed, so he wrapped the towel around himself, carrying his clothes, he exited the bathroom only to find Anna sitting right out side the door. It honestly made him jump a little bit, "Anna, you really seem to have the creepiness of a stereotypical vampire." He began to laugh a little bit as he walked right past her to his room, he didn't bother closing his door, but he did go behind the wall in his room and grabbed some boxers and sweatpants. He went back out to the front door of his room, trying to look attractive, but knowing she wasn't interested in him. "Come on sweety, what's a matter?" He began to laugh a little to himself, "You resist my charms again and again, I think that's why I like you." He turned back around and began to laugh, he knew Anna thought she could do something, but Ahmad always kept a gun and a knife within arms reach. Ahmad just enjoyed toying with Anna, he looked at a clock and the time read six. "Well if you aren't going to be any fun, then I might as well go to bed." He turned as slowly began to walk to his bed hoping to get a fun reaction out of Anna.

[Anna Carter]

She didn't bother hiding the action of her eyes that scanned the man's body while he walked around the place. Anna could be just as shameless as he, if not worse. The only difference being that he was lured by her charms, whereas she was not, at least until he made a few teasing comments while being half exposed. He perhaps was not the dreamy superstar a girl could only fantasize about, but he certainly wasn't half bad looking. "What would you think of me if I didn't play a little hard to get, uhm?" She replied, resting her shoulder against the doorframe of his room. "Sleep well, darling." She added playfully, before undoing the buttons of her blazer, as well as the single button and belt of her pants. The blazer, undone, simply hung loosely on her shoulders, but the pants had nothing else to help them up, therefore they slowly began sliding down, however by the time that happened, she already turned 'round and headed for her own room. Since it was all the way on the other end of the hotel suite, the pants were practically being dragged on the floor when she reached her door. Ah, such was the art of feminine charm.

[Ahmad]

Ahmad watched as her clothes were practically falling off of her. "You call this hard to get, stripping for me? But I wouldn't call your actions hard to get, more like impossible to get." He watched as her pants were practically around her ankles. "Good day sexy legs." He drifted off to sleep, not long after hitting his pillow because he was up most of the night on the plane while Anna slept.

The next night came quite quickly after he fell asleep. Went 8:00 P.M rolled around, his alarm went off and he quickly arose and went for a shower. Not taking all that long in the shower, he quickly threw on some deodorant and brushed his teeth. Then he went into his room and put on blue dress shirt, black dress pants, and a calvin klien suit coat. Then he went over to the dresser in his room, opened the top drawer, and pulled out his 44 magnum revolver. After loading it, he put it in his back belt and headed out into the sitting room, he decided to actually be nice this time and he knocked on the door before opening it, "Anna, time to get up, we got work to do, sexyness." He said with a playful tone, then going back out into the sitting room and he grabbed a glass of blood and sipped it. Pulling out his phone, he sent a text to his scout, Hey, can you track down Donovan so we can meet up with him, I'm thinking direct approach. He wouldn't fall for any rouse. So we gotta figure out the best way to talk to this guy, we don't want to go aggressive with this one, we want this one on our side. And with that he sat in the main room and waited for Anna to be ready.

[Anna Carter]

After getting so much sleep on the plane, Anna had trouble falling asleep again in her room. After the show of the dropping pants, she had just laid there and stared at the empty ceiling for hours on end. She did finally manage to get some sleep, but not much of it. It was very fortunate that Ahmad found some manners, because Anna was sitting on her bed with a gun pointed at the door when he came to wake her up. Whether she would actually shoot or not remains a mystery, and hopefully it will remain at that.

Quickly jumping out of bed, Anna picked up her clothes and quietly made it to the bathroom on the tips of her toes, wearing the bare minimum of publicly acceptable attire. After a refreshing, hot shower, Anna was ready in her business suit again, standing in the living area and waiting for Ahmad's further instructions. "So it's 'sexy' now? Where did the 'beautiful' go?" She questioned teasingly. She didn't really need an answer, but she had to come up with something at least half smart-assed, right? "I hope you're aware that I was awake almost the whole time, and my door was unlocked that whole time as well. You could have kept me company, you know?" She smiled sincerely. All of it was true, even the last part, but she doubted that 'keep company' would have been enough for Mr. Sunshine over there.

[Ahmad]

Ahmad smirked a bit at the idea, "You know if you really want company, we could go back for the shower." Trying to out smart-ass her. "But I can keep you company in the morning if you want. Next time speak up." Ahmad then realized that it probably was a come on with her panty show last night. He walked over and took the file sitting on the table, he put it in his briefcase, and walked back over to Anna, casually looking her over. "Well I guess we are ready to go." He set his briefcase down on the ground next to Anna, "Unless you want to have some fun first?" He smirked a devilish smirk, knowing he was a definite classy bad boy. "Anna, you know you are a beautiful woman, just cause I switch from beautiful to sexy, doesn't mean I think you are beautiful, but when I saw that cute butt of yours when you dropped your pants last night, I definitely thought you were sexy." He finished and added a little joke, "Maybe I should have gotten one room, but if Donovan decides to accompany us back to Europe, then well we would need to stay here tonight, and he would need a room, so we could share."

[Anna Carter]

He was definitely sounding more like a flirty bad boy than a nerdy know-it-all at the moment, but it didn't change the fact that they had important business to accomplish in America. A business that would no doubt prove to be quite difficult. While Ahmad was doing a fine job of easing the tension, he was also becoming somewhat distracting, to be honest. "You talk so much dear, I sometimes wonder if you have something to back up those strong words." She answered in a low, almost mocking, though still teasing voice. Then she simply winked at him and bent slightly to grab the suitcase he placed down. With it, she walked out the door, pretty sure Ahmad will follow. He is a fine man, no questions there, but Anna is rather used to taking her pants off by herself, changing that would take a lot more than a few simple pickup lines and a man's well-built body.
