The words were less than subtle.
"Curiouser and curiouser."
The text message was clear.
"So, explain it"" |

And the reply was anything but civil. 'How about you explain how they knew first. I thought you could actually handle your ward.'
The text came quickly as I stopped walking, taking a seat on the park bench I was near. I left Nero behind for a reason, other than the obvious. I didn't want her anywhere near either of them.

"She hasn't left my side, So by extension of Occam's razor"
A short pause.
"Who else knows, who else could know..Because It wasn't My ward, or her dog." |

'Dog? Nevermind, I don't think I want to know.' And after that was the address to the park I was siting at. I couldn't tell if he was lying over a damn text message. Face to face was much easier to read... Well, for most people it was easier to read.

And there he was, sans mask, idly scratching at his neck and he sighed.
"It's not her"

"It has been YEARS since Nero was attacked by something like her and I'm supposed to believe that the Satan bitch had nothing to do with it? Especially after the whole Michael ordeal?" I stood to better match his height, still being inches short, too pissed off to noticed him scratching right away.

"I don't see how she could have told anyone anything..She was -with me- The same shitty motel.. the same room for about 2 weeks, As a matter of fact I have been saving Dear Brooklyn from Satanists since I was hired."
There's along pause and a small smirk.
"To be frank Remmi, you aren't that important to her anymore, heck she's a Shell of a thing trying t o find her way in the world and the only thing she has going for her now is me and daddy dearest, she's as lost as we are."
A pause.
"It could have been LaVey. It could heven have been the woman who knows all... you have so many options.." |

"Nero and Lilith have made a truce... Nero's even been helping her with some shit." I calmed down a bit... LaVey couldn't be that stupid... "I did tell him to go fuck himself." Now it was my turn to rub at my neck, that fucking burning sensation just wouldn't go away. This is the first time something like this has happened.
"It's a good thing Brooklyn lost her hard on, looks like you're doing something."

"I'm teaching her compassion." |

"..." That was two what the fuck things to think about. Brooklyn and compassion... and the burning. Let's go with the one I can actually do something about.
"You feel it too?.. How? Because we slept together? That doesn't seem like a fair trade off." I had to wonder if V could feel it could the other feel it too?
Lowering my hood I unzipped it a bit to show him the wound, I hadn't even had the chance to look in a mirror to see exactly what it looked like.

He titled his head and stood to reach out and touch the wound ..even as he said firmly.
"You should get that looked at, That ..is not good"
he gently pressed fingers and with drew them away to look at the staining before he ..tasted it with a small nod
"Against a tree.. "
Even as he was digging into pockets..gauze.. Needles
"Tell me what happened, spare me nothing...I'll know.. and I don't know why...I just..do" |

"Well I can't really go to a hospital, the whole not being a human thing makes that a problem."
'Against a tree..'
And for some reason I listened to him, moving back until I felt bark against my skin.
"She was walking home from the gym, it's close by and takes longer to drive so we just walk... She said she felt like we were being watched."
My own pause now.
"And now I feel like a jackass because I told her she was just being jumpy..." I think I got the 'keep going' look from him. "I noticed the lights were off in the parking garage. Nero's been using the service entrance since that crazy bitch blew her brains out in front of her in the lobby.
He knew she was going to be using that door. He was fucking lightening fast, grabbed her and had her slammed against the wall before I even knew what was going on.
When I came out it's like he knew I was going to than he separated. Twins, just like Nero and Me. He had me pinned and his aura started glowing orange... right around his hand, around my neck. I could hear sizzling.." |

"Sounds like you have a Demon, whatever we are.. problem."
He was actually -seeing her up- doing the whole first aid bit as he listened ,..and said softly.
"The clues are all there Remmi, look past the anger ans the assumptions..Look past the hate... The Strands and skeins will make themselves known"
Ebven as he listened He said.
"Describe him to me..ever detail"
And yes..V sounded..was that..anger?
That could not be good. |

"I'm going to sadly take your word on Brooklyn. As far as describing him... I can't."
She winced a little, not being used to having tenders spots.
"He was wearing a face mask over a ski mask, the only sound he made was a chuckle, before the sizzling started. When Nero grabbed at his arm it has some sort of armor on it. The thing that stopped it was us putting our energy together to strike him... and for the 3rd time, I'm not a demon. I've been in the church."

"I did correct myself, and he might think of himself that way..Ski mask...Smart.."
He sighs and idly rubs at her neck.. with a musing
"Drink some holy water or something..Call it a hunch"
He said softly.
"I've done all conventional medicine can accomplish.. you're lucky I'm carrying spare supplies for Brooklyn"
a pause
"Seems we've both had problems with Satanists, Follow the razor, eliminate all possibilities, Whatever makes the most sense however unlikely must be the truth" |
