Nick got that sneer back. "I just know." He said softly with that hint of annoyance. Her questioning was starting to make him reconsider. "I could just be an ass and walk away without offering to help at all..."

[alexandra]

Ali clenched her jaw at that. She looked up at him, wishing he would take those ridiculous sunglasses off. It was almost midnight for crying out loud! She relaxed and let his emotions seep into her. She could sense something deep in him. Something that told her he wasn't all carelessness like he was trying to be now. She sighed a bit and lowered her gaze. I'm sorry. Please don't be mad at me. I just. If I ask you to do it.. I don't want to make any mistakes. she said softly

[river]

Nick snorted. Now he was annoyed. "There could think getting rid of that ass would be a mistake later on?" Nick threw his hands up. "You get a chance to ditch a danger to your children and your hesitating on the grounds it might be a mistake?" Nick huffed. Suddenly, he felt the gentle intrusion pressing against him. Nick almost crackled with anger.

Nick forcibly shoved her out of him and slammed and iron wall over himself, leaving on that small part of his mind for Stryker or Ash to get into. Through gritted teeth Nick said, "Stay out of my mind, stay away from my emotions." He knew he had probably hurt her a bit for forcing her out like that, but he didn't care, she deserved it for intruding on him.

[alexandra]

Ali winced a bit and grabbed at her temple when he shoved her out like that. I.. I'm sorry. she tried to tell him. And yes! It could be a mistake in the end if he ever found his way back to me and the girls! No telling what he would do then! she yelled at him. But as soon as she realized she'd yelled she took a step back and held her breath, wincing and turning away a little expecting the man to hit her.

(heh heh.. they still don't know each other's names! lol)

Nick rolled his eyes. "You are possibly the stupidest woman I have ever tried to help." He shook his head, looking over his shoulder to the bar, thinking quickly about the pros and cons of his new plan. He turned his back to her a little and pulled his phone out of his pocket.

After dialing a number on his phone, Nick pressed the phone to his ear. After the other person picked the phone up, Nick answered, "Yea this is Nick. I'm calling you in on that Favor you owe me." He listened for a moment. "Yea. I'm lookin' at the movement of some livestock." He chuckled to himself.

"No, there won't be any of that this is clean. All I want from you is a drop off I'll handle the rest." He stared off absently, completely ignoring her. "Ok just get your asses down here to Runningwolf's." At the burst of protest Nick snarled into the receiver. "Do what the hell I'm tellin' you! I'll expect you here shortly." He hung up and turned back to the woman.

He crossed his arms. "There. I don't care what you want it's happening. It's not a mistake and your probably hating me right now but you'll thank me one day." He looked off. "I'm pulling the better judgment of someone not in the situation..."

[ooc: before you post alex, i need zarek to come in here with some daimons because they would be mobilizing at this point and i want that to be happening then you post then I'll post then he'll post then you until joes gone? that order sound ok? it would be like this -- me, zarek, you, me, zarek (going inside), you, me and you till joe gets drug out, and figure it from there?)

Chrysander sighed as him and three others pulled up in the van. "Now remember you idiots, let me do the talking." He growled at the rest of them. Chrysander stepped out of the van and walked towards Nick, "So, where's the cattle?" He asked as he came to a stop before Nick and a strange woman. The three other daimons stood in the background, keeping a close watch on their surroundings.

[alexandra]

(yeah sounds good to me)

Alison stood off to the side a bit, fidgeting with her shirt sleeves and fiddleing with her short hair. Chewing her bottom lip nervously. Who were these people? Who was this man that was so insistant on helping her? She was a stranger to him. So why did he seem to care so much? She took a small step closer when the men started talking... maybe she could hear what they were saying.

[river]

Nick had his back completely to Allison, knowing that if she even tried to run or hurt him, he would be on her in an instant. He studied Chrys a moment. Not that he had any daimons for friends, but as daimons went, Chrys was about as ok as could be. He tilted his head a bit towards the club.

"The cattle's in there, probably either sitting at the bar or in a booth surrounded by women." This was said in a hushed tone. "Just go in, get him, and get him out. I don't want any fighting or nothin'. Bring him back out to me so he can see who it was that got him, then I'll tell you what to do."

Nick knew Chrys would do as he was told, the daimon had more sense than to disobey, especially someone who still somewhat had Strykers ear. He looked over Chrys' shoulder to the other daimons. "Avoid the brothers at all cost." He said, meaning the Runningwolf boys.

[zarek]

Chrysander rolled his eyes, "Just because I'm a daimon, doesn't mean I'm stupid." He huffed and motioned for the other three daimons to head in and scope the place for the cattle. "So, what do I get for doing this for you Nick?" He asked as he glanced over at the woman. 'Some kinda psychic, smells tasty.' He thought as he pushed his fingers through his hair and looked back at the cajun.

[alexandra]

Ali felt the sensation on the man's emotions enter her mind... emotions are closely likned with one's thoughts... She cringed and forced her eyes away from the strange man.
But as she was listening to them talk she made a mental note that the guy had called the man trying to help her 'Nick'.
Ali watched the three other guys walk inside to find Joseph... she bit her lip and closed her eyes. I really hope this works. Please God let this work.

[river]

Nick turned back to Ali, noting the look on her face. "So that's being taken care of." HE crossed his arms and huffed a little, wondering why she was wearing an expression like that. "Why do you look like that?" Nick asked, not concerned but just curious.

"They are doing you a service and you look scared and in pain..."

[ooc: for future reference...most daimons have their own extremely strong psychic abilities so try to keep your psychics from just getting into their mind and emotions so easily cause they can repel most dark hunters. I'm not saying you can't just make it a challenge. They don't broadcast. ]

[alexandra]

{occ. oh ok. sry. lol but she wasn't trying to read his emotions... she doesn't do that normally. They just kinda... find her. lol but i'll keep in mind what you said.}

Ali closed her eyes a moment and shook her head to clear her thoughts. I'm, i'm fine. It's nothing. she said looking up at Nick. She let out a slow breath as she looked into his silver blue eyes. Who... who are those guys? Or am I being too nosey? she asked as she caustiously took a step towards him. For some reason she felt that she needed to know more about this man helping her so readily. Why was he being so kind to a stranger?

[river]

Nick sneered a little. "Well you really are being a little nosy." He looked over his shoulder to make sure there were no problems as of yet. He looked back to Ali, noting the tired look on her face. She was probably trying to read the daimons and that definitely wasn't going to work very well. "Those men were my helper. They owe me a favor and I'm calling it in." He shrugged and crossed his arms, putting his raptors back on. "They won't hurt him unless he struggles and unless I tell them to."

[alexandra]

Ali nodded slowly as she glanced to the door to the club then back to him. Where... where will you send him/ she asked softly. She bit her lip when she looked up at him for he had those sunglass back on... and it was the middle of the night! Why would anyone where sunglasses at night?

[river]

Nick shrugged and tapped his fingers against his hip. "Well I haven't decided just yet. Somewhere very far away for sure." He huffed a little and looked at her over his glasses with those eerie mercury eyes. "I hate bastards that beat women. My mama raised me better than that and that piece of shit in there is lucky I don't kill him." He narrowed his eyes. "I don't kill him because I have respect for what you want, cher."
