"I didn't graduate high school and felt cornered. I'm saving money up right now to go to a community college and get educated," she informed him. "You're probably right though, my eye would scare off people. Why'd you stay this late here anyways?" Note to self, get a glass eye.
"I suppose...money is always a good incentive to get things done quicker..." Vex said and shrugged, looking both ways of the street. He sighed and looked at her. "Wanna come with me?" he asked, smiling at her. "I think if you came with me I'd get this done faster..." He leaned in so their faces were only inches apart. "And you'd get rid of me quicker if you escorted me to the club."

"I jus' wanted te have a little chat with ye, lass." Killian replied and finished off his cigarette, throwing the butt of it on the ground and then grinded it out with the toe of his shoe. "If I paid for ye te have sex with me, would ye?" He asked her easily, face straight, but his eyes curious.
She took a step away from him, putting more distance between their bodies. "Fine, i'll escort you to the club." Reo replied and turned away, striding gracefully away from him and down the sidewalk, arms crossed tightly over her chest as a sign of her nervousness, she still didn't know how to feel around him.

Crystal stared at him, then burst out laughing. "Are you serious? YOU?" she looked at him and rolled her eye, snickering. "Is this some way to fuck with me? Cause whether or not you are serious, the answer is no..." She paused for a minute, thinking about how she could really use some money for college and glass-eye. She sighed to herself. "God, it's so tempting..." She ran a hand through her hair. "But it's against my already low standards."
Vex walked silently beside her, pulling out his cigarettes and chain smoking. His eyes were half-lidded in thought as he dug into his pocket for a red envelope with a latin enscribed word in it. "They always get so damned fancy. Which company do you work for?"

"How much money would ye do it for? If ye were te do it, tha' is..." He ignored her laughter and her words, instead relaxing where he stood, just watching her, a soft smirk on his lips as he did so, she had a nice laugh.
Reo sighed at his chain smoking, the smell was horrible on her lungs, it made her want to cough. "Can you please stop smoking? It's sickening." She snapped, glaring at him coldly. "The name of the company I work for is confidential." That was her answer, her voice holding an underlining of finality to it.

Crystal stared at him, looking extremely cautious. She was silent for a long time, before finally saying, "more than what a person would be willing to pay." She needed a glass eye, and a lot more money for college. The latter could be adjusted to aid in applying and getting financial aid though. "Well, maybe not, but I don't know...A lot, that's all I can say for now." She answered, looking at her feet. "Are we going to be chatting for long? My apartment is just around the corner, and it's cold."
Vex looked at her, puffing. "You don't look green and aren't vomiting..." He touched her forhead. "And aren't warm..." Nontheless, he dropped his cigarette and put it out. "Private company, huh. Sounds fun. Mine is private too." He sniffed and turned his head. He could hear people talking. "Sounds like she's talking to someone." Sure enough, there they were. He approached Crystal swiftly. "My boss would like you to look over this in private, ma'am," he said, voice sultry. Crystal's eyes narrowed as she toook the little red envelope. Vex bowed, and then returned to Reo's side. "Can I escort you anywhere, Miss Reo?"

Killian smiled more, he'd be willing to pay a lot, he had money to spare, he got about seventy grand every time he murdered someone, and that was because he only let himself get hired by the richest people around. And rich people were willing to pay large amounts of money to get someone off of their backs. He went to say something but he shut his mouth quickly, watching Vex suriously and listening to him. Killian watched the man leave and then looked at the red envelope in Crystal's hold. "I'm finished, it's obvious i'm not going to be able te get wha' I want from ye... Well, for now at least." He didn't leave though, instead he watched her, waiting for her to make her way to her apartment so he could see if she got there alright.
Reo once again quickly stepped away from him when he touched her. Did this man have no boundaries? Did he not care about other people private space? She stopped when she heard voices and then waited for Vex to return, when he did she was glaring at him, and standing quite far away from him. "No." She answered shortly, jaw tight, he was an odd character. "I have nowhere that I need to be escorted to by the likes of you." Pivoting her body she walked away briskly, she was late for one of her deliveries, what she delivered was drugs, she was a drug distributor, the man at the strip club from the night before had been her boss, a drug lord that was well known in the underground world by many people. And even though the man had seemed laid-back, he wasn't, and he could get mean quite quickly if someone didn't do what he wanted them to do. Reo wasn't going to push it at all, instead she was going to get her deliveries done with no more distractions.

Crystal shrugged and started to walk, looking at the red envelope in her hands. She tore it open, pulling the paper out as she slid the red envelope into her pocket. She froze under a light, eye wide as she reread the letter's contents. She breathed deeply and stuffed the thing into her pocket, hugging herself before continuing on her way home, getting to the apartment quickly and unlocking the door. Tomorrow was her day off, and to treat herself to the news of execution and the idea of relaxation, she took a long hot bath.
Vex watched her go. Reo. he repeated in his head. He worked for a shifter gang who did both illicit and...well, licit things for the shifter community. Mostly illicit though- things like killing slayers and vampires who terrorized them. He turned and headed back, stopping by a vending machine to get some candy, before going home to try to sleep. And failing at it.

Killian awoke the next morning and went downstairs, moving around his house, making sure all of the doors and windows were locked, and that all of the blinds were closed tightly so no one would be able to see inside. After making sure everything was in order he went into his living room and took a seat on his couch, grabbing a shoe lace and tying it around his bicept tightly. He grabbed a needle and stabbed it into his upper forearm, injecting the fluid into his body. Killian's eyes rolled back and he pulled the needle out, tossing it onto the coffee table before slumping into his couch, his hips giving a jerk. He moaned slightly, a dazed smile pulling onto his lips, damn, he felt so satisfied, so euphoric, everything in life felt right, but he knew that feeling would go away soon, the heroins affect would wear off.
Reo was walking around again, she hadn't gotten a good sleep the night before, since she had slept outside in her wolf form in an alleyway. Actually, it could of been worse, it could've rained and soacked her through. She sighed softly, she really enjoyed being a shape-shifter, it had so many perks.

Crystal roamed town silently in baggy jeans and a long-sleeved grey shirt. She had a hankering for fast food that day, and was wandering around to find the perfect place to feast at. She eventually settled on a Chipotle and ordered a burrito, and then made her way to the park and sat under a tree, eating silently. Her mind wandered from education to work to friends to her family (the one that disowned her) and then finally to Killian. Who was he? Why was he interested in her? She took another bite of her burrito and sighed, leaning back and closing her eye. I don't get it.
Vex sat in a coffee shop, eyes harldy opening from how tired he was. He sipped his coffee silently as his boss rattled off names to him. vex was trying hard not to choke the bastard to death. He gulped down his coffee and excused himself to order one more, before sitting down again as his boss finished his long boring lecture. Vex was released from the bastard's grasp, and he made his way to the quietest part of town he knew- the outskirts. He found a green spot on a hill and laid back, closing his eyes. He was asleep in minutes.

He pulled himself up from the couch, stretching and looking around the room slowly, he could feel himself going down from his high, he shook his head, grunting quietly to himself about nothing. Crystal suddenly came to his mind and he stiffened a little, thinking about how she had danced the night before. Killian left the room, pulling his shoes on and then his coat and leaving his house to go and find the woman.
Reo hummed quietly to herself as she walked around, thinking about nothing, she tilted her head back, taking in a deep breath of air. Ah, it smells like Halloween. She thought to herself, she always associated the smell of crisp air and burning fire wood to Halloween. But she also caught to scent of someone very familiar, she halted for a moment, thinking and then started walking again, seemingly making up her mind. Reo followed Vex's scent all of the way to the outskirts of town and slowed once she came upon the hill that he was at. She cautiously made her way up and stopped a couple feet away from his sleeping form before sinking to the ground and sitting there silently, taking in the view of the meadow.

Crystal was at a local gas station, buying a new pack of cigarettes and some candy. She walked out and leaned against a wall, lighting one up silently as she passed her day away.
Vex slept deeply, not stirring when she was beside him. He mumbled something out and rolled onto his back, his shirt riding up a little bit. His back was smooth and creamy pale. There was a scar on the back, a little x on it.

It took him an hour but he finally found her, his grin was mutilated into something delighted but twisted at the same time. He walked up behind her, one of his arms slipping around her waist and pulling her body back into his tightly. "And how are you tonight my little beor?" He whispered thing roughly down to her, smiling, he bet she wouldn't understand what the word 'beor' was. It was irish slang and it was just another word for calling a woman attractive, it also was pronouned 'bee-yo', the 'r' was silent.
Her violet eyes landed on the scar, her head cocked to the side, she wondered what he had gotten that from, she wondered quite a few things about him actually. Reo bit the inside of her cheek thoughtly, then she reached out and pulled the hem of his shirt down again so that no bugs would be able to crawl up his shirt, and so that he wouldn't get cold.

Crystal let out a startled noise and tensed considerably when he pulled her into his body- his very warm body. "Jesus!" she breathed out and turned, looking up at him with a bewildered and, well, dimming fear expression. She hated being approached from behind. "Beor?" she asked, patiently waiting for him to remove himself from around her.
Vex shifted a bit when he felt his back warm a bit. Grumbling, he started to sit up before actually stirring. He rubbed his eyes and looked around, eyes half-lidded and tired. He looked at Reo, surprised. "Well, you're the last person I expected to see. You that bored or did you really want to see me again?" He asked, moving towards her and pushing her to the ground, leaning over her.

"Ah, it just means yer good looking." Killian told her, but didn't let go of her, he was still feeling quite elated from his earliar drug use. "Ye wanna come back te my place and get stoned with me, darlin'?" He asked her, his arms tightening around her waist even more.
Reo put her hands on his chest, forcing him to move away from her. "Stop touching me would you?" She snapped, at him, cheeks red. "And I was just bored! You're the only person I know around here, I didn't know what else to do." She turned away from him, bringing her knees to her chest, suddenly pissed off.

Crystal looked unnerved by his tightened hold on her. "I can come to your place and watch you get stoned while I smoke a cigarettte," she said, pushing against him lightly. "I just like cigarettes."
Vex pouted slightly before shrugging and moving away, laying on his back. "So, because I'm the only one you know, you hang with me..." He shrugged. "Sounds like me with my coworkers. I hang with them because they are there."
