Akemi frowned slightly at Advent. "You are so boring... I don't care about information." her frown changed to a twisted smile. "I really will torture Avalon even if she didn't know anything because it pleases me~"

Akemi turned her focus back to Chloe. "Yes~ That's the expression I want~" She licked Chloe's cheek and moaned joyously. "I will sleep well~ Just the thought of you both suffering in agony is just so~" She shuddered in sickishly pleasurable manner.

Advent

Advent moved his head to were he heard Chloe's voice “Do you really think that smart considering the situation you are in at the moment?” he said with a dead voice continuing to hold his board close to him his hand petting it as if to console himself and the board “Don't grit your teeth Clo I'll explain later.” his body language had changed to show he didn't care in fact it was so loose that it was almost as if the life he normally showed had vanished from him leaving an empty shell. “Clo don't presume you can give me fucking orders! I'm not in the fucking mood nor would I leave you behind you should fucking know that of all people!” he said his voice cold and dull.

Advent's head turned towards Makoto hearing how the gun moved “Look Makoto, right now really just isn't a good time for me I have to try and mend my board or create a new one... either way this has just been a shitty day and it's barely gone noon...” he looked to the board in his arms “So if you want to try and fight me right now I will aim to kill you so leave me be.” he warned his head turning and he walked off towards some warmth he hadn't noticed before “Kick the bitch, I wonder if her own pain will please her... could use your sai on her too.” he felt drained and though having not really been effected by the scent he was feeling lethargic and being sluggish feeling the heat intensifiy he looked down “That's new.” he crouched “So where is your creator?” he whispered

I really don't need a lecture at the moment, Advent. Chloe knew how much he loved that hover board but right now wasn't the time to start planning a funeral for it...

A more disgusted look crosses Chloe's face as Akemi licks her cheek, "You are one really sick bitch. Hurting people just because it gives you a thrill, I bet your real popular at the strip clubs, aren't you?"

Her own conscience was now basically screaming at her to shut up before she got this woman past being pissed off.. Hearing Advent mutter about 'kicking the bitch'.. What did she have to lose?

Using all the strength she could muster, Chloe kicks Akemi right in the stomach..

"Hm?" Jayden looks at Mizuki, "It's not hard to know when someone is a skull, Moony. And really? I might be a cop but I am still a human but if you want to keep from the leaders of your faction than I am not going to stop you. I honestly would not know how a child looks up to their mother, that was one word that never passed through my lips my whole childhood and even now, I refuse to acknowledge the woman who gave birth to me. I vowed it would be different for my girls, that they would know their parents love." he pauses as a waitress steps up to take their order, "Have you decided what you want to eat, Moony? I think I'm going to try this." He reads the selection out to the waitress who nods, jotting it on her pad before her eyes turn to Mizuki, waiting for her order.

The kid's attitude was starting to bug Makoto. I swear, all of the Skulls I've run into so far act like annoying little kids. She walked, and eventually gained a little more momentum before pendulum kicking Advent's hoverboard into his chest, trying to knock him down and aggravate him.

"Shut up. I don't give a damn about your day or your precious hoverboard. All you've done is bitch and yell at your friend over there." Makoto kept the MP7 aimed at Advent's legs, finger lightly pulling at the trigger, ready to shoot if he tried to escape or fight back.

FORZ

He finished skimming through all of the Ryuujin's profiles and switched to his map. Might as well find a place where I can work alone...

There weren't too many Hunters on duty, but one in particular caught his attention. Why is this person near two Tech Skulls? Is he apprehending them? Upon zooming in, he noticed the name and a linked photo. ...This is the Hunter who approached me yesterday.

But from the screen it didn't seem as if they were fighting each other. Curiosity piqued, Forz headed over to see what was going on, brushing a hadn against his coat to make sure the SMG was secured under it.

Akemi glared Chloe after she kicked her in the stomach. "I guess you want to speed up your torture." She tightened he grip around Chloe's neck and started to lift her off the ground with surprising ease. Suddenly a book struck the Akemi on the side of the head and she dropped Chloe on the ground.

Roland stepped out from the back door of the bookstore with another book in his hand and a lit cigarette between his lips. "Still as fuck nuts as always it seems..." a slight worried look on his face, Roland slammed the door closed.

Akemi smiled seemingly ignoring that she was struck by a flying book and that she had dropped Chloe. "OH~! You're alive!"

Mizuki

“Well I bumped into a vampire Ryuujin yesterday, she was very strange...” she explained looking to him “It was almost as if she was flaunting the fact she was a skull, then she used her ability on me for no reason on top of that.” she shook her head her eyes closing “If ever near her you should avoid eye contact and be careful as she can also do illusions through sound... it isn't overly effective I guess if your blind or psychotic.” she giggled but blinked as she was told it was easy to tell a skull “Candy's are a little harder to tell because there are anime fanatics who try to be as cute and bubbly as the characters they see on their shows... then some people are just that way naturally.” she said honestly “Then again I guess Techs are too with how many geeks there are out there.”

She looked down at the next part “With everything that is going on do you really think it wise to let anyone know you are dating a skull?” she knew there where hunters everywhere the last thing she wanted was him to get into trouble of for her to be carted away “I know we're only human but hunters will likely see the skull before the human and on my end they will likely see the cop first.” it was a sad but true fact and it hurt her. “We are both in that boat, don't get me wrong my parents are loving but...” she closed her eyes “I was raised by a nanny most of the time, I felt more like an accessory.” she said truthfully “Warm chicken salad, no mayo and glass of ice tea with a slice of lemon please.” she stated watching the waitress jot it down before walking off “It's hard for them to know your love when they where taken from you” she said moving to take his hand in hers

Advent

Advent heard the footsteps coming from behind him as he inspected the cat a little more “You're as noisy as an elephant...” he stated dodging quickly to the left before the boot touched his board “and your fighting style is sloppy.” he stated keeping his board close to his chest “I couldn't care less if you beat me into a bloody pulp just don't damage my board any further than it already is.” he said dimly as he stood up “And seriously I am really not in the mood to fight, we can do that another day.” he looked dead at Makoto “Oh, this is what you think really?” he said walking forward

“I couldn't care less about your fucking opinions but I still have to hear them...” he started his voice growing colder “She isn't a friend to me, friends are what normal people have...” he moved his head to the side he seen Chloe as a family member, just like he did every Tech and so done his best to keep them safe to the best of his ability, it was most likely the reason he was in this mess right now. “She is an annoyance... not as bad as you but yeah she is... kind of like that nagging mother or that teacher you wish you never had to get...” he said looking back to his target “At the same time I guess I need that because of how I am.” he stated “However, she broke my rules... and had now put me and every other person in danger because you stole information and then tried to trick her into believing you had Avalon.” his voice was a little irritated on the matter.

“By the way that boy in your boot is going to suffocate if he doesn't get out of there soon.” he said bluntly. “Where was I?” he scratched the side of his head as he tried to remember “Oh yes tricking and rule breaking... I don't blame her for this I blame you and that idiot Jay, how could this not be personal for her.” he stated moving towards the gun, hearing the subtle movements of Mokoto's finger on the trigger “Didn't I say for you to put that thing away? Only cowards shoot people who are unarmed or is it that I scare you because you can't anticipate me?” he grinned, though was caught off guard hearing another voice “only in days ending in 'y'” he replied to the voice knowing it was likely talking to Akemi but like normal he wanted to be a smart ass.

That voice... Makoto turned her head slightly and saw Roland burst out of the bookstore, throwing something at Akemi and Chloe's direction. Before she got the chance to react, Chloe tackled her onto the ground and disarmed her, pinning her arms to her back with one hand.

Augh....what a mess, I'm dealing with a cocky kid, a bitch on my back, and that damn officer?! My firearms are practically useless now, since Roland is here. She remembered what happened at the Flame Skull's hideout. Roland somehow managed to disable her and the Hunter Squad's guns at that time.

Makoto struggled a bit to test Chloe's grip. She looked at Chloe, seeing her cover her face with her sleeve. Makoto pulled one knee under her stomach to give herself room to throw Chloe off her back while she pulled her arms apart from Chloe's grip. Makoto planted her free knee on the ground and pushed off to throw Chloe off balance and slipped away from her, grabbing her arm in the process and putting Chloe in an armbar.

Vincent stood still for moment feeling even more light headed. "Kenji, I need a meal now. . . " he said to the other trying to make the point across of he would need get blood from him. "If you do not mind that is. . . " the vampire asked his follower. It was something he didn't want to ask but he would need to since it was far to early in the day to try and grab a bite to eat.

--

Zaki finished cleaning the flat blinked some looking around seeing the time, his worry grew more and Chloe had not even got back to him. Heading back into her room, the teen got dressed grabbing all his things, placed on his blades. "I know I shouldn't be so paranoid. . .but. . . .I need to know where she is and if she is okay!" he was yelling at him self shutting the door taking off to try and find her.

The waitress nodded at Mizuki's order and hurries off. Jayden sits back, "A vampire ryuujin, hm? Some do that but if you hadn't been another skull than she could of doomed her whole faction." he chuckles, "The techs is a hard faction to figure out, I'm staying with one and I didn't figure out she was one for awhile. She's not what I would call geeky, she dresses like a regular teen her age would but she acts, I don't know, more older for her age, I thought she was older than Kim when I met her but turns out, she's younger. I guess just not foster kids are forced to turn into adults before their time."

"Most Hunters don't mess with the Police, Moony, just like we don't mess with the Hunters unless it's a question of safety to the general public or want to piss them off.. some officers tend to get a kick out of that." he pauses, looking at Mizuki, "If things weren't like they were, I would gladly walk away from the force, you do know I would die rather than let anything happen to you."

He frowns slightly, "Actually, that was why I was talking to Kim's father. Seems Kim has decided she is unable to cope with two children and showed up at her father's to get the address to her cousin's. Apparently she had plans to give custody to her but her father was not amused, he said it was rude for her to even think of shoving her responsibilities on her cousin and that her daughters belonged with either her or she hands full custody over to me." he puts two fingers under Mizuki's chin and looks into her eyes, "Kim agreed to it but she also had her conditions, she gave her father temp. custody but only if her cousin vouches that I am ready to be a single parent, I would not ask you to give everything up for children that are not yours in the first place."

Kenji

Kenji turned his amber eyes to Vincent as he spoke, he knew what that sentence meant and where he did mind that his blood was going to me the meal of the day at the same time he couldn't refuse. Taking a knee in his normal fashion he placed his sword in front of him his other moving to the side of his leg bringing out his kunai. “I knew I shouldn't have worn this today.” he sighed as he brought up his arm sliding up the sleeve of his white jacket and shirt before cutting into his arm lightly without flinching. Placing his kunai away he lifted his cut arm to Vincent offering it to him. “Take as much as you need.” he stated obediently lowering his head once more not really caring if anyone seen.

~~~~~~~~~~

Mizuki

Mizuki nodded “She will slip up again most likely and the next time she may not be so lucky, I mean other factions even the somewhat pacifist techs can be a force to be reckoned with if they are being messed around with.” she said looking to the ceiling sighing “She definitely was a strange one. She brought attention to a hidden weapon, she has her factions symbol tattooed on the back of her neck which she flashed off on purpose I think...” she sighed shaking her head wondering how she even got to the position with how she was acting “Then she said something about a no casualty clause... I had never heard of such a thing and I've been a candy for almost five years, she finished up using her ability on me and all the while not realizing I was a skull myself.” she sighed once more wondering what the vamps where thinking if that was one of their Ryuujin. “Tech's... I haven't had much dealings with the tech's but then they do seem think a turtled faction if I'm honest about it... They are the best people to go to for information or if you need something built but that's all I think anyone really knows about them I mean no one even knows their Ryuujin, I'm starting to think they may be a myth.” she laughed though it came to an end hearing him speak “Hmm, yeah... I guess techs are the one faction that can blend in the most so it's harder to track them down.” she said covering her mouth as she yawned.

“Well that's good to know, but there are so many hunters running around at the moment thanks to that awful explosion.” she looked down at the table “And for the skulls as a whole to be blamed for it... what are they doing shooting scatter shot hoping to get the right faction for it or are they just wanting to cause civil panic.” she shook her head her eyes closing “Yeah the skulls aren't saints but hell the hunters are worse they just hide under a veil of justice and that's the truth in my eyes.” she said honestly “I think the only just ones out there may be the cops.” she smiled but a blush came to her cheeks as she was caught off guard by Jay's statement “Jayden as sweet as that is, if it came to that I would ask you not to... one life isn't worth the lives of hundreds.” she said looking to him wishing that she had a fan to cover her pinked cheeks. Though that quickly came to an end as he heard that his ex couldn't handle their children alone “What the? Does she think children are just for Christmas... Don't take kids if there even the slightest possibility you can't care for them on your own.” she said shaking her head believing his ex was a dummy.

As he felt two fingers under her chin her her expression softened and she looked at him dead in the eyes as he spoke “Jayden, all that I am I would happily give up to be with you and those you care for.” she moved her hand into her bag and brought out her purse, placing some money on the table she placed the purse back into her bag picking up her bokken she stood and turned “Nice catching up with you Jayden” she said softly before walking out, she didn't have to read his body language to tell that where he did care for her her heart still longed for his ex and that hurt her more than anything else could.

Advent

Advent listened to the struggle that seemed to be going on at the moment “Your both very sluggish.” he stated as if it was a fact that interested him a great deal as it would allow him to try and come up with something that would be better than a mask to combat against the woman that seemed to be an oddity. He opened his mouth to say something to Chloe when she mention his hoverboard but shut his mouth again for a moment “Shut the fuck up Chloe you have no damn idea what the hell you are talking about.” he growled it was clear that she had put her foot in her mouth once more with him. “As for the second part if it wasn't for Jay bringing this bitch back to your place in the first fucking place... we wouldn't be here now would we... the root of all stress and hassle is your damn logger!” he stated walking forward “The root of all evil is the hunters.” he added for good measure. “Clo now isn't the time to play the blame game as somehow we are all at fault in one way or another lets just get out of here.” he said sighing a little

Sighing knowing things weren't going as Chloe planned he picked up his board and moved to hit it across Makoto's head in the hopes to knock her our, as she too was under the effects of Akemi's ability there would be a high likelyhood of this happening “I really am not in the mood to play with hunters today, nor am I in the mood to have someone think so little of me Chloe... I wasn't in danger until you jamp on her fucking back! What the hell where you thinking she had a fucking gun!” he exclaimed regardless of wither the board hit or not.

Kenji

Kenji kept his head lowered his eyes closed as he allowed Vincent to feed from him, his breathing softening not through blood lose it was to help focus his mind away from the fact he was losing blood especially in such a manner. “I am aware Vincent, if not I would not allow you to feed from me and you know it.” he said calmly in an unflinching tone. He was devoted to Vincent and this was the only reason he allowed his blood to be drank. He had began to feel slightly dizzy as Vincent stopped drinking, though a shudder ran up his spine feeling Vincent lick the wound like he always had when this rare event happened. Looking up he knew the next part of this strange ritual and returned the kiss showing that he was happy to oblige the request again. After a moment he pulled his head back picking up his sword and moved to his feet slowly before fixing his sleeve “Careful, Advent might get jealous.” he teased knowing it was a running joke within the vamps.

Listening to what Mizuki had said before she jumped up and put the money down, saying it had been nice to catch up before leaving, Jayden sighed. He knew she was probably hurt, he didn't have the same feelings anymore for Kim but yet, he was not ready to enter a brand new relationship. Plucking enough down to cover his meal as well, he goes after Mizuki, "Moon." he calls after her, Damn, I really could use a smoke right now.

Not expecting Makoto to so easily get out of her grasp, it took only a moment for Chloe to be thrown off balance before Makoto had grabbed her arm and done an armbar on her. Shit.. This was one move Chloe had always hated going against during her younger days of training, she quickly racked her brain trying to remember how to counter act the move.

Hearing Advent begin lecturing her again, she rolls her eyes, "I'm not thinking little of you, just right now isn't the time to be worrying about something you can easily fix at a later time." she sighs, "and yes I know she had a fucking gun, Advent." I can see, you know. "Next time, I'll wait till after your smartass gets shot before coming to your aid."

She notes Advent attempting to whack Makoto on the head with his hoverboard and quietly wonders if that was such a good idea, if he missed and didn't knocked her out...

Makoto held Chloe's arm and gradually put more pressure on her shoulder. She heard footsteps approaching her, and looked up to see Advent with his hoverboard raised over his head.

"Tch." Makoto gripped Chloe's collar and in one motion, increased her pressure on Chloe's shoulder and pushed Chloe at Advent. She let go of Chloe's forearm and covered her head with her own arm and tried to step back as soon as the board hit her. Makoto's shoulder and arm took most of the force.

Agh! Damn, that thing is heavy! Makoto took a step back and took out her knife, holding it in an ice pick grip. She rotated her shoulder and shook her hand few times before going into a fighting stance. These two talk way too much...but shit. I could've avoided that annoying kid's attack. Did I breathe in some of Akemi's pheromones?

Mizuki

Mizuki continued walking away from the cafe at a quickened speed her hand going into her bag as she brought out her pda. “Lets see where am I meant to be?” she said to herself she wanted to be anywhere but there right now. In truth she just wanted to be alone with her thoughts so she could work things out. Seeing that she was meant to be in a class she sighed changing her course and heading towards the shrine district she just wanted to pray and get some things off her chest. Even thought she heard her pet name being used she just continued walking. 'He made his point clear, why can't he just leave me alone to get over it?' she knew relationships took a while to get over and now she knew if she wanted him she would have to take his girls to which she had no problems with, just rejection was hard for her as she had never felt it before especially from the one she loved all these years.

Advent

Advent tilted his head “Oh is that so?” he replied jumping back as his board met Makoto's arm and shoulder “I'm the only one out of us three that was never close enough to get effected by Akemi's pheromones, so I'm the only one not acting sluggish to boot even though I generally don't hit however I dodge really well.” he explained grinning though the grin faded as he heard Chloe say 'easy fix' he looked to the other his expression showing he really was getting pissed off “Clo, I don't use the term dead if I can fix something... my board is dead, no more... gone... kaput... never going to be fucking fixed... got it? Good!” his voice was dark almost demonic like something had taken over his body and he was no longer in control, a side that no one would have seen before. “Perhaps next time I'll mind my own damn business and leave you be in your own damn trap.” he growled he was more than a little agitated and it showed in everything from his voice to his body language. “Put that thing away before you get hurt hunter, there are two of us and you are sluggish meaning you are seriously in need of a reality check as you're clearly at disadvantage... We aren't a threat here, you are on the other hand! we are doing nothing but defending our own.” he was through playing games and it showed.

Jayden wasn't going to go after Mizuki, she probably needed time.. Leaving the mall, Jayden heads to his favorite shop that sold cigarettes, the owner usually cut him a small deal...

Wincing at the increased pressure on her shoulder before Chloe was shoved at Advent which she managed to, even sluggish, stop herself before crashing into him. Hearing the anger in the ryuujin's voice, she doesn't reply straight away. Taking the moment to take the jean jacket she was wearing off, since she was still unsure who the jacket belonged to, neither Jayden or King Kong really cared if she grabbed one of their jackets to use and she didn't want any blood stains or the jacket to get torn either, as she tossed the jacket on the nearest object out of harm's way.

"I didn't know, now did I?" she says quietly to Advent, her eyes focusing on Makoto, the knife in her hand and the stance that she had taken. Chloe had dropped her one sai when she had tackled Makoto, the other was still tucked in her boot but she made no move to draw the sai out. She wanted to see what Makoto was planning to do first..

So he has the impression of me being heavily affected by Akemi's ability? I could be affected, or not. I don't exactly feel any different... She stared down Chloe while keeping an eye on Advent. Makoto slowly shifted her weight, staying cautious and watching for any move the two Tech Skulls made. Two versus one in front. Roland's still a problem...I gotta stay on my feet when they come at me. And what the hell are those two doing at the SUV? Do they know each other?

Makoto looked at Advent. "Hey, why don't you stop your bitching and grow a pair. Your 'own kind' over there has the balls to fight back while you sit back and cradle that piece of shit you hit me with." She was taunting him, and she didn't care if it actually affected him.

She returned her gaze at Chloe, and slowed her breathing, waiting for one of the Skulls to attack.

Advent

Advent turned her head toward Makoto disregarding Chloe at the moment his head tilted to the side a twisted smile crossing his face. “Bitch, you don't know the shit I have had to go through nor do you know me or my fighting style so you have no fucking right to tell me to grow a pair.” he stated it was clear he wasn't the same kid that he had been at the beginning of this whole situation, taking a step forward “I don't believe in hitting if I can avoid it but very well.” He dropped the board he held and shifted slightly he was loose his head drooped down “Clo, don't get involved.” his voice cold as he spoke to the other.

“You don't know a lot of things Clo so perhaps you shut your trap until you do.” he wasn't in the mood right now and yes he was being harsh and he would likely regret it later but for the moment he was numb to everything and felt nothing but rage, however he was lucid enough that he still had his wits around him

Kenji

Kenji looked to the other and quirked an eyebrow “Something tells me people not talking to him wouldn't bother him one bit.” he had noticed in the past how flighty the other was but also how he seemed to be withdrawn and somewhat anti social with people showing he wasn't use to it as much as he tried to cover it up with his goofy routine. “There is no need to go to a restaurant I'll be just fine.” he said moving towards the scrapyard “If that is your wish lets get going there before we worry about me as you never know when they may leave.” he explained knowing the restaurant wouldn't move.

Roland watched as Chloe fought Makoto for a brief moment until he heard a meow. "Yeah yeah, I'm coming hold on. Akemi I'll play with you in just a second." he said with a slight sigh.

Akemi frowned and folded her arms across her chest. "Fiiiine~ But hurry up." she kicked the ground and leaned against the hood of the SUV.

Roland walked down towards a cat made of fire which was sitting atop of a metal trash can near Chloe. When he reached the cat and meowed several times at him. "Hmm? Yeah I know... No I don't want to..." he talked to the cat as if he could understand what each meow meant. Suddenly Roland and the strange fire cat looked at Chloe. "Oi... Come here please..."

"Cut the mouth. I'm the only thing stopping Akemi from dancing to the sound of you gurgling on the ground with your spin broken. So zip you lip and do as I ask and later if I'm still alive I'll tell you how to get your sister back." he said as he held out the book to Chloe.

The cat meowed and Roland turned his head to it. "No, I am not apologizing." the cat meowed again. "...I now it was harsh but its its the truth."

From the way they talk, those two must know each other... Makoto noticed Chloe walking in Roland's direction. Not wanting to be in the middle of a potential a frontal and side attack, she took a few slow steps away from Chloe as she watched Advent stand his ground.

Returning to a defensive stance, Makoto kept her blade pointing at Advent. Definitely not risking a frontal attack with all of these people here.

Advent

"Much obliged Chloe,I don't think I'd forgive myself if you where caught in the cross fire." he stated remaining in the unorthodox stance he was in listening to the sounds around him he smirked a little "Seems like your boss has a play date." he said with a condescending tone, tilting his head to the side chuckling a little as the other never advanced "What's wrong caught off guard or could it be that you are the one who does have what it takes to back up trying to taunt me little girl?" he stated standing up straight one hand on his hip as he tapped his bare foot against the rubble.

"Very well, seeing as you believe the others will jump in I will humour you and let you choose where we will do our little fight." he said coldly "Regardless you'll be going to the hospital." it was clear he was not going to be taking prisoners and he would be aiming for the kill.

This is enough distance. Makoto's defensive stance lightened up as she started shifting her weight from one foot to the other.

In an instant, she charged at Advent. She changed her grip on the knife, holding it like a saber. "Let's do this now, then." She slashed at him in attempt to throw him off, following up with a punch aimed at the stomach.

Advent

Advent tilted his head a little listening to how the other shifted from one “hmm..” he said quietly he anticipated that the other was going to do 'so predictable' he thought himself shaking his head as he heard the shift in the other's weight “Foolish.” he stated coldly seemingly unmoving awaiting the attack to strike him. “I agree, this is as good a place and time as any.” he stated dropping at the very final instance as the slash came down only to bring his leg across in the attempts to throw Makoto off balance, if this did indeed work then he would flip his foot moving to go onto her chest, if it didn't then he would flip back to his feet moving his hand into his pockets his face emotionless.

Kenji

Kenji stopped allowing Vincent to take front before starting to walk just sightly behind as was normal on any outing he had with Vincent. He still felt quite light headed but he said nothing doing nothing to show that he was anything but one hundred percent. “We haven't done anything wrong for once.” he replied to Vincent “Besides it's not exactly like we are going to fit in really in a scrapyard look at us.” he stated his eyes closing briefly as he was worried what kind of problems the other Ryuujin may cause for their coven, his eyes opened watching where the other was going, he hated going down the back streets as much as he hated roof hoping but in these times there was little choice. "Who are we hoping to see in the junk yard." he asked wrinkling his nose.

Roland grumbled at Chloe's words. "I'd rather stay dead thanks. I've already been brought back once and it was a pain in the ass." After Chloe took the book from him he began to take his bandanna off followed by his glasses and held them out to her. "Hold onto these and feed the cat the book and anything else that will burn."
