"How are the preparations? Caille they know of our deal and have set the procathions for us?"
Bal was in the back of his sleek black car, with a soft hum of the radio playing in it with his men beside him, well one man, Bal heard a soft cackle beside him with a faint brush of cold wind from the air conditioning. Her cackle went around the car while she sipped her drink peering at Bal,
"Everything is in order Blake has his men at our territory guarding it while we get the precious insight into his grand life,"
Bal let out a faint giggle leaning into his plush leather seat, he held his cane gingerly a stern expression on his face,
"Good, I like the sound of it coming together,"
Bal only gave her a glance when he turned to his second in command, he's staring out the window watching the city change to a wooden land scape, he hummed feeling Bals gaze over him when the upsence laughter from Caille grated his ears, he looked at her impassive holding his soft black bunny in his lap, petting it softly and then told them,
"I have checked their progress so far, they have been there for a day have taken over the territory with our guidance like Caille has told you,"
His black gaze stayed on his rabbit petting it gently, when he stopped in the middle of it and looked up at them, Caille stopped for just a moment when she smiled coyly, she drank her whiskey, and muttered into it,
"But that's not all is it Donn?"
Donn glared at Caille his gaze would strike her dead if it wasn't for Bal sitting there, Donn took a brief look at Bal, he sat back with his can lightly in his grasp, a smile that didn't quite match his eyes, he was observing them like a tense scene in a film, he enjoyed it. He didn't hide it, either. His eyes gleaming with mischief and what Donn could tell was excitement. One he hasn't felt in decades. When Mórrígan first appeared in their business,
"The federal agents have been checking on our activity,"
Bal let out a faint hum tilting his head the shine in his eyes grew with the ends of his lips, and he stared at Donn not angry as Donn thought no more predictable,
"Is there now? I know I've heard this before the bog wigs thinking they can come in and deal with our business or life," Bal expressed his hand from his came motion them like swatting a fly, it didn't matter to them. Hiding what they do was the same. Threatening them to leave it alone, whether it be blackmail or planting something on them. It was done. Last resort. Finished within the hour. To them, it didn't matter, Bal saw the agents as a minor inconvenience,
"Yes they have been scouting around the roads and where they have caught a glimpse of us, but failed ultimately,"
"I knew they weren't the most intelligent of them but this is a new kind of breed that failed like the old one," Bal adds
Donn nods agreeing with him, they have gotten so soft over the years some even worked with them betraying their own. Just for a moment before they get excavated to a new role in life, a ghostly apparition. Donn opened his lips to echo Bals' statement when Caille interrupted him,
"Funny Donn I heard that they raided Shepered," Her voice sharp like a dagger cutting through this conversation, Bal turned his head to her the glow coming from his eyes illuminated the back of the car, green and brown shone on them with a smooth dark voice Donn explained,
"Yes I have forgotten that thank you Caille for reminding me of my forgetfulness," Donn seethed
His tone would send a shiver down any others spin but Caille only smiled darkly into her glass and drank the last of her whiskey, she laid it in her lap when she smirked pointing at him to speak, Donn peered at her not wanting to give into her so easily but he saw the look hes getting from Bal, its stark tell me of it before i find it useless to ask again.
"The bureau of investigations has raided Shepard twice in the last three weeks, going through their records, their belongings, questioning their people,"
Bal cut him off raising his hand halting him, Donn and Caille looked at him concerned but hid that behind their mask of indifference, or for Caille a smile, Bal glared at the two, "Tell me this? Did they get to her?"
Donn stopped petting his rabbit for a moment then continued his stokes, he glanced at Caille finding her dark blue gaze met with his, they held an agreement through their stare, They tried to keep the angels from fighting, they saw what had happened to Lenn and Ceth and had heard of what had happened to Lugh, they would prefer this to go on smoothly. And it will even if it meant taking any of the agents with them, Donn felt Bals intrigued stare with a faint grin he always wore to hide what lurking blow.
"They have questioned her from what I found out from our infiltrator, the agent they placed in charge tried to question her earlier today, they got a half truth but nothing new, that's when Salvatore swooped in taking her away from Avalon after that they followed her,"
Donn went to finish when Bal leaned to him his hue darkened in delight hearing of his favorite angel.
"And where did she leave to? "
"They aren't sure they were ordered to find Damien and his acquaintance, Ally Scian, so far they have been a nuisance to our family business,"
"They couldn't have found out where she was by asking his fellow workers?"
Bal leaned back his head to his shoulder leaning down like he was listening to someone. Donn observed him with critical consideration. He didn't mind having people in the way he only guarded her with such importance was her. Donn took a deep breath in his hand clenching around his black rabbit so much it squeaked, Donn stopped immediately peering down at the rabbit while hearing Caille anoying cackle around the car, Donn glared at her when they hear a soft tapping in the car, Donn and Caille halted the felt back of the care became stiff, the pressure became a weight on them. Their breathing got heavy Caille placed a hand on her chest glanced between Bals shoulders and Donn's,
"I haven't heard from either of you on what they knew of Avalon...I will say it one time,"
They felt a knot in their throats, Callie moved her hand gingerly to her throat feeling the soft strain of strings around her neck, her eyes widened looking at Ball her hand tugging at the strings, she saw the faint movement in Ball's hair and small eyes peering at her with a snare. She shivered feeling odd at how it stared at her. Donn kept his hand on the small rabbit his fingers faint not to harm the poor thing when his eyes met Bals. His maddening eyes shine into his as Donn saw the faint weds curling around his neck. He didn't dare flinch he would only tighten it more, he stared straight at Bal trying to ignore the small eight eyes that went to him,
"Our informant took his time gathering information, I haven't heard back yet,"
Bal frowned his hand tightened on the cane, Bonn felt the webs tighten around him so slight hearing Caille grunt holding onto the webs, when a small hum came from the Donns black jacket, Donn and Caille held there breath not like they had a choice, Bals eyes went to Donns pocket he moved his hand sending a line of string at it wrapping around the phone,
"Im sure you wouldn't mind if I take a look Donn just to see if the informant has sent anything back to you,"
Bal took the phone from Donn's pocket with a slight tug, Donn tried to reach out and grab it but the webs stopped him from catching his arm, Bal caught the phone with a smirk slowly creeping up his lips, his gaze flickered at Donn with a cocky voice he asserted,
"You almost got to the phone this time Donn better, but could use some more practice old boy,"
Bals teared his gaze off of Donn and to his phone shaking in his firm grasp, a number he didn't recognize from looking through Donn's contacts. Bal swiped answering the call, hearing a husky voice on the other side he put on the speaker,
"Donn I found what you wanted,"
His breathing was heavy, sounded like he was running. Bal leaned in his chair with a small tug from the webs. His eyes narrowed as he heard the man on the other side continue,
"I got what the people I worked with saw a man pulling her past the the scientists to an office that belongs to Luke Silckle, brother of Damein and Marcello Sickle, The head scientist of Shepered labs, alongside his co head Liz Mclure, he brought her into the office. I tried to figure out what they were talking about that's when it was blocked by some form of invisible wall,"
Bal leaned back his expression dark, he felt the anger in his chest bubble when he glanced at Donn and Caille, they stiffened watching him, his hair moved back showing a spider in it staring down at the phone,
"Im glad you found what little you could, informant," Bal growled his tone sent the car halting it stopped abruptly as the web shook from it, the informant on the phone stopped breathing.
"B...Boss?"
"In a way find what has happened with Avalon and then call him again find nothing you become it,"
Ball ended the call throwing the phone into Donn's lap next to the rabbit, Bal leaned back into the leather seat his hand making webs picking up his fallen cane,
"I see that we have more to find, how exciting to have a new challenge a weak one but still a challenge,"
It wasn't for them
