Every body wants to be a cat...

ThiaDuShane: insisted it be given to Cat. She looked up when they came in,

nodding to them both:: Hey. Thanks for getting here so fast.

OnlineHost: LPerezDominicana has entered the room.


LPerezDominicana: Lovely didn't understand what was wrong with presents they

were shut down for the night any how but watchiing Cullen show up and then

the other two look worried she had asked if she maybe did something wrong

accepting the gift. He had seemed so nice and hadnt hurt any of the girls. (d


CullenSMontoya: :: He reaches up to take his sunglasses off, revealing his

stormy blue eyes as he casually hooks them to the front of his shirt.

Following Ice to the back office, he nods to Thia and the girl with her

before looking around.:: Okay.

CullenSMontoya: What's up?



LdyMariusRomanus: *Slips into the office, looking to Thia and Lovely, then

to Cullen, making sure the door was closed and locked before speaking* We

have another package and I think it's from our not so favorite person. It was

left for Cat but I'd rather be overly cautious than give her something sooo

not good (d


CullenSMontoya: :: He nods his head with a soft sigh, stepping further into

the office as he looks around.:: Okay. Where is it?

LdyMariusRomanus: Thia, it's under the desk unless you moved it. *leans back

against the wall, crossing pale arms over her belly, absently adjusting the

short black dress she was wearing* (d


ThiaDuShane: I decided not to touch it until Cullen got here. ::she bent

down and lifted up the box, setting it on the desk for the Cowboy to handle.

She looked to Lovely:: You didn't do anything wrong, Sweetheart. Ice and I

are here to make

ThiaDuShane: sure nobody hurts the girls. There were some threats made. So

we're just checking all new clients and gifts... especially those that are

for Cat or anyone else connected to the Angels.

ThiaDuShane: ::she had worn the bodystocking today, with silver skyscrapers

and a little denim jacket and skirt combo::


LPerezDominicana: Lovely had felt her eyes widen alot then blanching this

man was a danger and she had let him in. Groaning softly then going through

her pockets she also held up a business card with the fake name on it." he

also left this I dont know what it says its got funny wrtting on it "

LdyMariusRomanus: *White-blue eyes looked to Lovely* It's better than you

didn't question him deary, we don't want anyone getting hurt by being openly

suspicious. *pale fingers gestured to the box, glancing to Cullen* All yours.

(d


CullenSMontoya: :: He steps over to the box, rubbing his hands together

slightly as he pops his neck from side to side. Hearing Lovely, he gives a

slight jerk of his head toward Thia to take the business card as he carefully

begins to open the box.

CullenSMontoya: He was already dreading what was waiting for him inside.::


ThiaDuShane: ::she reached across the desk to gently take the card from

Lovely, looking at the name and the funny writing she had mentioned. Would it

turn out to be more Cantonese?::

boqinhlau: * she would be correct to assume it was written in cantonese just

for cullen*


LdyMariusRomanus: *White-blue eyes looked to the business card, arching a

delicate brow, pulling out her cellphone from a hidden pocket in the tiny

skirt* I can try to use a translator app or something to figure out what it

says. (d

CullenSMontoya: :: He reaches into the box to take out the photograph,

closing his eyes with a look of frustration on his face. It was a picture of

Cat with a heart around it and her eyes blacked out. Tossing it down onto the

desk, he turns away

CullenSMontoya: with a look of disgust.:: Looks like Henry found his next

target…


ThiaDuShane: ::she glanced into the box and clenched her jaw, both hands

tightening into fists:: Well, he's not gonna find her here. Which is good for

her... but it might just bring him right to the Library's door.

boqinhlau: * the whole room would also hear " your my best buddy" in the

voice of woody from toy story ..why ? because there was a dismembered woody

doll with blood splattered talking to them and inside the box were the words

" uh oh cowboy"*


CullenSMontoya: If it is Cantonese, you can call Oz. He's been trying to

study up on it…:: Placing his hands on his hips, he looks up toward the

ceiling as he seems to be lost in his own thoughts.:: What exactly are you

trying to pull, Henry?

CullenSMontoya: What's the game?


LdyMariusRomanus: *Blinks, hearing the strange voice, leaning forward to

look in the box, white-blue eyes going hard* Sick fuck. *Looks at the other

two* I think we need to stop letting him pick his targets and flush him out

with one we offer up, then we'd have a better handle on what he might do. (d


LPerezDominicana: Lovely heard the doll and blanched again she had a weird

phobia and it was getting triggered she backed toward the door ass bumping

and scrabbling for the knob" por favor make it stop talking adios mio"

ThiaDuShane: ::she got out her phone from her jacket's inside pocket and

snapped a picture of the Cantonese, texting it to Oz with a message to 'plz

translate asap'. She was watching it upload when she saw Lovely freaking out.

She looked at the


ThiaDuShane: box again, opening her mouth slightly:: That is really fucking

creepy...

CullenSMontoya: Si si, calmete…:: He speaks to the girl softly, his voice

seamlessly shifting into Spanish as he turns his attention back to the doll

in the box. Being careful not to touch anything, he was able to notice the

blood covering the var

CullenSMontoya: various pieces.:: Interesting…

LdyMariusRomanus: *Sighs softly, looking to Lovely, then to Thia and Cullen,

not sure what to do on this one* (d


LPerezDominicana: Lovely looked at him and blnked edging toward him for

safetly almost wanting to cling she hated talking dolls they were like little

demons to her. Her brother used to torment her with them so this was not a

fun night for the little latina head escort(d


CullenSMontoya: :: He reaches up, scratching the back of his neck as he

takes a deep breath.:: All right. I want to see who gave you this package…::

He looks over to Lovely.:: Can you show me on the surveillance?


LdyMariusRomanus: *She stepped forward, pushing off the wall, pale fingers

gesturing to the box, her voice a little softer in consideration for Lovely*

Lets get this outta the way, where do you want it moved to Cullen? (


LPerezDominicana: " Si " walking to the computer in the office and still

eying the doll wishing so bad it would shush. She took a breath and focused

on pulling up the correct time loop and looking for the one she needed to

show the front door of him comingg in capturing a still and tranfering it to

a review screen. then one of them talking him giving her the card and kising

her cheek. " this is him the man.. he was dressed very nice" the girl was

smart and business savy so it was no wonder she knew the camera system back

and forwards(d


ThiaDuShane: ::her phone dinged and she pulled up the message from Oz::

Looks like it is Cantonese again. He says it's talking about hope you like

this gift too. ::she paused:: Does he *really* think this shit is a gift?

::she went back to


CullenSMontoya: Take it out to my bike…:: He nods his head to Ice before

stepping over to the computer with Lovely. Waiting for her to sit down, he

bends over behind her to look at the computer screen over her shoulder. He

stares at the image on


ThiaDuShane: reading:: Says he's gone fishing - so.. on the move? Says we

have time to suck air? maybe that's supposed to mean time to breathe... But

it won't be all crystals? Crystal? Like... Crystal clear? Works want to pound

flesh? Jesus, Oz,

ThiaDuShane: (Workers*) what the fuck? ::she shook her head:: And something

about they're waving on the highway.


CullenSMontoya: the screen, examining it very closely.:: Yeah. That's him.

Son of a bitch…:: He sighs softly.:: Can you print me a copy of his face? ::

His eyes turned towards Thia, listening to the translation before pinching

the bridge of his

CullenSMontoya: nose.::


LdyMariusRomanus: *Nods, taking the lid to the box and closing it up, trying

to silence the doll by muffling it back in the box, then slips out of the

office with it, the spiked heels she wore making their out of the CatHouse to

the parking lot, spotting his bike. Going over to it she tied it down on the

back fender on the saddle bag. Thinks a moment, doing a slow walk around the

bike, trailing pale fingers over it like a lovers caress incase anyone was

watching, then walked back into the club, hips swaying with the heels, going

back to the office to slip inside again* Done. (d


ThiaDuShane: Workers... Pound flesh... Workers, his thugs, maybe?

LdyMariusRomanus: Pound flesh, sounds like they want to fuck someone.

*Snorts, crossing arms again, leaning back against the wall where she'd been

previously* (d

ThiaDuShane: Well, he was here and paid for company... He doesn't need to be

puppet-mastering ::she wriggled her fingers:: to get that.


LPerezDominicana: She nodded and printed him two with a few key strokes,

glad the doll was gone feeling him behind her and looking at the other

ladies" I dont understand why any one would want to hurt miss cat she is very

nice very beautful ."


CullenSMontoya: :: He shakes his head, pressing his hands against the

desktop as he closes his eyes to block out the voices around him. His mind

was slowly processing the translation, trying to put the words into a context

that makes sense.::

CullenSMontoya: Workers want to pound flesh, waving from the highway… Waving

from the highway… The highway…:: He slaps his hand against the desktop.::

Motherfucker!

LdyMariusRomanus: *Looks over to Thia* Can you load that picture of the

business card into a translater app to double check what Oz said, I know he's

doing his best but it's kinda muddled. *Sighs softly* (d


ThiaDuShane: Yeppers. ::she fiddled and swiped around her phone some more,

pulling up the app and using her camera to feed the text into the

translator::


boqinhlau: *if they did they would get the real translation of "Hope you

enjoy this gift as much as the last Im going on a trip so you get a short

amount of time to breath but dont think that it will be all clear Cullen my

assositates want their pound of flesh as well and were happy to have the

upper hand on the highway" *


ThiaDuShane: OF flesh! Pound OF flesh! ::arms in the air, like, duh!::

ThiaDuShane: Associates, not workers! ::she looked at Cullen:: The highway!

This guy told them where to find us! ::she took a breath:: Oh thank god! That

means it wasn't someone inside.


LdyMariusRomanus: *Nods, now having the proper translation to go off* It

makes much more sense now. It also means we might have a bit more time to

plan if he's going on a trip, or he's just saying that to make us relax.

*Glances at the others, white-blue eyes looking to Lovely, going back to her

other question* It isn't that someone wants to hurt Cat in particular, she is

just a target that will cause emotional pain to lots and lots of people (d


LPerezDominicana: Hearing Ice her normally kind eyes hardened and she used a

few choice words in spanish to say what she thought of him for such antics

not at all nice. " I will cut off his pinga que no hurting mi amiga" it was

a mix of english and spanish with her being angry because she tried to be

polite with every one understanding her but her default angry was spanish (d


CullenSMontoya: :: He straightens up, stepping away from the desk with his

hands on his hips as he looks down to the floor.:: He's working with the

Russians…:: He was putting the pieces together in his mind.:: He's taking a

trip. That means he's

CullenSMontoya: going back to Hong Kong on business. And in the meantime…

What did he give the Russians?


ThiaDuShane: Our locations, for one. Our names? Our business addresses..?

LdyMariusRomanus: *An ugly thought crossed her mind* If he's still been

watching us he'll know that all the girls, ALL of them, are staying at the

Library. We might want to move them and fast to make sure they don't try to

drive by the Library to get as many as they can. (d


CullenSMontoya: :: He rubbed his hands over his face, sighing heavily before

shaking his head.:: No. Henry doesn't operate like that. He wants to sell

them. Some of them. Openly striking at the clubhouse would be a waste of

possible profit.

CullenSMontoya: He's angry at me. I cost him money. A couple of preteen

white girls fetch a high price on the black market.

LdyMariusRomanus: *Thinks* Do we have anyone really young who tags along to

the club, someone who isn't staying with us that might be easy to pick up? (d


LPerezDominicana: Lovely thought and spoke up" un chica muy hermosa Luey's

sister she came by one day to tat some of the girls shes sort of younger and

very pale and pretty has she come in yet?"


ThiaDuShane: I have no idea. I mean, Dara is already safe in my room at the

clubhouse, with Riffie. I'd like to say I'm not worried about her, we had to

pull my brother in too cause they're.. Suddenly inseparable.

ThiaDuShane: But with this creep show... I'm suddenly worried again.

LdyMariusRomanus: *Blinks, looking to Thia* Who was that young girl that was

a friend of Oz's, the poor thing that was there when the first package showed

up??


LPerezDominicana: " I will call her then ok no worries" dialing the girl in

question to be sre she was safe they would hear her side" si ok ok yes but

they said you cannot be silly have to go in where its safe please.. ok ok no

problem buy sweety"

LPerezDominicana: "She said she is sorry for the worry she is fine but has

been trying to finish her back logged tattooes before coming in so not to

loose customers she said she trusts Luey to have kept her safe but will come

by tonight after she closes"


CullenSMontoya: He's not coming anywhere near Dara…:: There was a finality

to his voice. The city wouldn't survive his wrath if Henry touched that

girl.:: I think her name is Candy or Contra something…:: He snaps his

fingers.:: Kanti. She just

CullenSMontoya: stops by from time to time. I don't even know where she

lives.

CullenSMontoya: :: He nods his head to Lovely.:: Good. I don't need him

jumping my ass.


LdyMariusRomanus: *Nod nod* Then we should text Oz to keep an eye on Kanti,

we wouldn't want her to get pulled into this just because she stops by the

clubhouse. *Moves away from the wall, going over to the desk, pale fingers

resting on the desktop*

LdyMariusRomanus: We need to stop playing defense, and our offense isn't

good enough, we need to do something else and soon. (d


LPerezDominicana: Something in how he said that had her head tilt and

contemplate something then she nodded" I understand . Oz is the blond who

gaurded us for a short time then?"


CullenSMontoya: Yes ma'am, that would be him…:: He looks over to Ice.:: I'm

open to suggestions.

LdyMariusRomanus: *White-blue eyes looked to Lovely, nod nod, attention

going back to Cullen* I mentioned it earlier but you were in your own little

world for a few minutes. I think rather than letting Henry pick the targets

and keep us guessing we need to set a trap for him, picking a target of our

own to entice him with. (d


ThiaDuShane: She almost was, ::remembering the pale lady's face and the tone

of her voice as she was escorted out:: Good thing she's good at denial, or it

could have been bad... ::she glanced from Ice to Cullen, listening::


CullenSMontoya: :: He shakes his head softly.:: It's too risky. Henry is

smart. The guy has a sixth sense about finding a trap. It was part of his job

on our team.


LdyMariusRomanus: But the more Truth we put into the setup, the harder it is

to detect. *She gave Cullen a long look, hoping he'd catch on to what she was

thinking* (d


ThiaDuShane: You wanna use someone as bait...?

LdyMariusRomanus: Yes, Thia, that's exactly what I'm suggesting. Preferrably

someone who is trained to defend themselves, not one of the normal girls.

*White-blue eyes never left Cullens face as she spoke* (d


CullenSMontoya: :: He looks straight into her eyes, shifting his weight

slightly.:: No. That's not even going to happen. Henry isn't just some

creeper. He's a creeper with military training. :: He shakes his head

softly.:: Ice, he would smell the

CullenSMontoya: training on you. Besides, he would be more likely to go

after somebody like her…:: He gestures toward Lovely.:: Small, young,

innocent. That's what he likes.


LdyMariusRomanus: *Lush lips curved in a smirk* I hate to point out the

obvious Cullen, but you didn't spot my training till we went to get D. I can

hide it much better than you can, being a stripper makes you one heluva

actor. (d


ThiaDuShane: ::flicking the end of the business card with her fingernail,

she pursed her lips thoughtfully and turned around to the computer. Starting

to type, she looked up the name, and saw it pulling up a trucking warehouse

down by the

ThiaDuShane: docks:: Oh, well now... Isn't that convenient?


LPerezDominicana: She blinked, the man had seemed to like her an awful lot

kissing her hand and cooing at her. complementing her and looking like he

might want to sprinkle her with sugar and eat her up(d

LdyMariusRomanus: *Glances over to Thia, finally breaking eye contact with

Cullen* What's convenient?


ThiaDuShane: ::she wagged the card back and forth:: Under this name, Henry

owns a shipping warehouse down at the docks. Guy like him? Wouldn't be using

it to ship clothes...


CullenSMontoya: :: He shakes his head softly, rolling his eyes as he turns

his attention to Thia.:: Only if they were counterfeit…

ThiaDuShane: Okay, so he wouldn't be using it for anything legal...


LdyMariusRomanus: But that could be something quite nasty to loose, a hiccup

in his cash flow and supply movement. *Stands up, resting pale fingers upon

her hips* Maybe we could do something with that. (d


CullenSMontoya: :: He nods his head thoughtfully, scratching the back of his

neck.::. Maybe we even get lucky. He might still be here, waiting to take

care of one last shipment before heading home. It's a long shot, but…:: He

shrugs his shoulders a

CullenSMontoya: bit.:: I can make a few calls. Get some people to go up

there with us.


LdyMariusRomanus: If you think that's a possibility then we don't want to

wait, we'll want to move now to see if we can't catch him. *Looks back to

Cullen* Do we move or what? (d


CullenSMontoya: We move. I'll put a call into the club and have them meet us

on the way…:: He grabs the computer printouts, nodding his head to Lovely

before making his way out.::
