When Dorian's wallet rang he thought nothing of it until he glanced at the number and quickly dialed it. They'd gone to the tunnels today, he hadn't expect a direct call from Nox given the past events, but there it was. Dorian answered the phone but what greeted him was Nox ranting to someone about what he was doing. Very unAtharim like. But then again neither of them were Atharim. They were out as an organization, and Nox was working for the CCDPD now. Even in his consulting compacity he had more influence - and a direct 'hire' from the Ascendancy himself. It meant something.
Nox eventually spoke to him. and Dorian chuckled.
An unfamiliar voice spoke, "Who do I have the pleasure of speaking with?"
"Dorian Vega. I'm the detective in charge of Nox's activities down in the tunnels. If he says he saw monsters he did. And whatever it is he's asking is legit."
"How do I know you aren't just a friend pretending to be a cop?"
Dorian rattled off his badge number. "I work for the Domovoi unit, and Nox is my lead source of information on the weird and crazy things that go on in this city." It wasn't exactly a lie, but it was the truth. He knew more than Dorian did. Thanks to the now deceased little song. That was sad and such a waste of talent. But crazy was crazy and monsters had to be put down.
"You won't mind if we run this number do you Detective Vega?"
"Absolutely not. Why would I give it to you otherwise? What is Nox wanting, I only got half the story?"
"He says we should treat this like an unknown contagion."
"Treat what like an unknown contagion?"
"His blood and himself."
"Nox, what the fuck happened?" Dorian didn't wait for an answer as he got up form his office chair. "I'll be right there, then you can tell me." He hung up the wallet and grabbed his coat along with the paperwork that he was working on for the hunt he'd authorized. And Nox's authority in the matter. Thankful the paperwork had come in when it had now. Nox was going to need it. The boy might hate him for what he did, but Dorian still felt responsible for him. Almost as much as he did Cruz. Whatever forced him to call Dorian was serious. The boy was a man of principle.
Dorian hurried to his car. Moscow University was his destination. Thank you Sage for your tracking software.
