Waiting for Craig to return, I realize Ileft Sala alone. Fuck that was beyond stupid. I shoud have called him sooner. Picking up the phone, I dial the house number. "Come on..answer, answer dammit."
"Damn...thanks for answering. This is David. There's been a bit of a problem with Elijah and a friend of his and Karl and I got called in to help" Raking my hair back,I walk over to the window, "We'll be back soon, but in the meantime, please lock the doors and just stay inside okay? Don't even answer the door."
*I'm instantly alert, on my feet and reaching for a borrowed shirt. The old me might have jokingly whinged about being treated like a latchkey kid. But I'm not that guy anymore.*
Right. Consider 'em locked. I'm guessing you don't have time to talk, but just tell me real fast: what's wrong with 'Lij? Is he hurt?
"Thank you and no...we have him with us at Craig's place and it's being guarded well. He was drugged or poisoned or something along with a friend of his. It's a fucking long story, but Lij is a werewolf and his creator is definitely NOT a nice man. He's had this guy Johnson out looking for Lij, even went so far as to try and follow me, but he ended up at my old place with Ran who promptly took care of him." I mumble quietly about how she should have doen a more permenant job back then, but hindsight is always clearer. "Anyway, we don't know what his plans are, but as soon as Craig gets back from a hunt, Karl and I will head home."
*The phone grinds slightly in my fist as I try to imagine who would hurt Elijah* Right...okay...glad you guys are there...I'll let you go. Take your time, all right? Do what you gotta do. It's dead quiet over here, no worries. And if anything DOES come up, you know you can rely on me to deal with it. *Okay, so maybe that came out a bit macho, but I'm 100% serious*
"If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't be telling you and...thanks. There is a pad and pen in the drawer under the phone, let me give you my mobile if you need it."
Drawer? Ah. *muffled clattering sounds* ...got it... *I take down the number you provide and rip the small page out, stowing it deep in a pocket* I'd better go make the rounds, then. Thanks for filling me in, mate. I'll be up until you get back.
"Good, I know you have certain abilities, don't hesitate to use them if you need to." I still feel bad leaving you there alone right now, But I know I can trust you to call if you need anything. "We shouldn't be too much longer, it's getting close to dawn."
Wenham residence, I think. Hello?
