Ivan listened, stunned. A secret group that hunted monsters? He supposed that it should make sense. Up until recently, he hadn't know that they existed. Hell, his own abilities seemed kind of new. He hadn't heard of any....suddenly a video he'd seen on the internet flashed across his mind and he knew that it had not been faked up like people were saying, like the Consul's press release had hinted at. He understood the need for keeping things under wraps. You didn't want people panicking.
But suddenly it put Domovoi into a whole new light. Men- and presumably women- with powers like his could cause a lot of destruction. If Smiley had wanted a fight, that precinct building would've been very likely destroyed. The images from the video had been clear. Course, he didn't know how strong he was. Damn that he could only use the power when he was tense.
He was going to have to get around that. And practice. "Maybe you can introduce me to that friend of your not-friend."
He hadn't missed the way she smiled as she emphasized that. She was attractive, after all. Not exactly his type, but definitely a looker. She probably had little trouble that way. Working with her would be fun.
Looking around as if he could see these Atharim or whatever, he lowered his voice. "You'll have to tell me more about them later. And maybe let me meet one. We need some good intel. Seems to me, we should be allies of sorts."
And he was going to talk to the Chief. He had emphasized that non-lethal take downs were a priority. He wanted to know what kind of hardware they had access to. He was even willing to volunteer that they test some of it out on him. It wouldn't be right to use something untested on a civilian. But that block had to go.
They got back into the building and Alex went to an unused desk to work up a profile based on their interviews and the reports. Ivan went to the other officers working on the video for a progress update. Thank God computers did most of the work, unlike the old days, back when Pops was on the force, though he had just been a beat cop. Having to manually sift through all possible sources for the faces of the vics and then for a potential perp would have taken days and weeks. Instead, they were able to get something together during the time they had been out on interviews.
"When Dr. Pirozi is done, we can get started,"
he said to them. "The vics weren't covering anything. This happened."
