No longer alone

[Ahmad]

Ahmad enjoyed this take charge attitude that Anna was showing now. He was surprised by how far their relationship had come in a surprisingly short time. She started out pretty much hating him, now she actually seemed to be warming up to him after a lot of work and some charm. He followed Anna but then because he didn't tell her where she was going, he also had the keys to the car. "Come along sweety." He continued on in a playful tone, he wanted to keep up the appearance that they were together to anyone that may be suspicious of their presence here, when they had reached the car, his phone rang, he pulled it out and read a text from his scout. He's in New York as far as I know, I think I can sense him, he seems to be near battery park, but I could be wrong. Ahmad felt a little annoyed with the uncertainty of his scouts response, as he let Anna in their rental car and he got in the drivers seat, a charger similar to Ahmad's back in Europe. He drove off, and to try and ease the tension of the drive that Anna must be feeling for her first official mission. "So, we are headed to battery park it seems, when we get close, we will sense his presence. This guy seems to probably want the straight forward approach, but we are looking to be peaceful with this, we are offering him sanctuary. So this should be an easy one, I don't see this guy wanting to fight."

The multiple nicknames her name had gotten piled up on it, were no bother at all for Anna, so long as they are used strictly while they are alone. She didn't want to seem like a weak, gullible, or controllable new kid, to others. "Please do use my actual name in front of others, okay? Given you still remember it, of course." She spoke with a fake hint of frustration. Of course he remembers it, he had used to on more than one occasion throughout the day, but she just couldn't pass an opportunity to toy with the guy. It was becoming somewhat of a hobby already. She really needed to cut it out if she is ever to become a real business-like lady in place of the irresponsible girl she was now. It was hard to change it though, with Ahmad always there to bring out her mischievous self.

"So what's the plan? We just gonna march on to him and tell him to come home with us? That would probably creep him out, or anger." She looked to Ahmad for an answer, hoping he got a better plan than that, otherwise a big battle might be inevitable. He had done a pretty decent job of taking her in, but that was an entirely different case. First of all, she was looking for work, and second, she wasn't a vampire, so once she was turned, she didn't really have much of a choice but to go with Ahmad. Donovan, on the other hand, is already a vampire - over a hundred year old one - and probably will need more than a fake job opportunity.

As the drive continued on, and Anna kept on with her questions. "Well Anna, the nice thing about him being alone for this long, and this old, is the fact that he will probably sense us not to long after I sense him, these things come with practice. And one thing I've learned about vampires is the fact that we share one trait with our enemy lycans, the wolf always likes to travel in a pack." As they drew close to battery park, Ahmad could begin to sense a vampires presence, and by the strength of the vampire in this presence. He strongly believed it was Donovan Hood. As he pulled into battery park, he turned the car off and exited his car. Leaving the door open, he awaited Anna to also exit the car.

The moon was high in the sky and the lights sparkled over New York City, Ahmad stood outside his car gazing upon battery park."The best way to handle this guy is to honestly let him come to us, and trust me he knows that we are here. And we are almost naturally drawn to our own kind." He pulled out his phone and texted his scout Can you keep an eye on Donovan? And make sure you can't be seen or sensed, keep as low of a profile as you can. And when he sent the text, he put his phone away, "And now we wait for Donovan."
