Jacinda kicked back in the safe house. Hood was gone and she wasn't sure when he'd be back. All and all, he'd been pretty cool to work with. Quietly deadly. In some ways he reminded her of Seth- minus the mouth that worked overtime to find exactly the one thing to say to try to piss you off. He wasn't Regan, not really- he didn't have the coldness that emanated from him.
There was still some softness in the man- his feelings, which had nothing to do with his actual abilities- however he tried to hide it. Nowhere near Ricky, of course. The look on his face when she had told the women who'd been held and raped by the nest of rougs back in Mexico city that they either downed the abortifactant in her hand or be put down had been priceless. He'd been too soft to do what was done, there. Still, not a bad kid for all that. He'd done good in that hunt and later with the quetz. Even saved her life.
Maybe he'd get there. But probably not. He'd taken the girl in. What was her name? She couldn't remember. Anyway.
Still, it had been quite fun chasing down those two punk Atharim who'd gone off the rails and after them. Morons, more like. Two seasons hunters, one of them in the Order? Hood was certainly one they should have feared, despite his contract status. Not too bright. Overzealous was the word. All about purification. As if the fact that they were non-Europeans made their loyalty suspect.
In the end, though, they let them go with a few injuries. She wasn't sure how many Atharim were still around in Moscow. Brandon had outed them and things were a bit sketchy now. Still they had a job. And she suspected that those two might be useful. As pawns, if nothing else.
And Yoshi. Now that was a good man, if bit stuffy. Whenever she was around him, it was all she could do not to needle him. She couldn't help it. Still, he was professional too.
Which was good because she got the notification and smiled. Nox Durante. She knew of him. Well, knew his parents years ago. Word was he was a great hunter too.
And now outed as a god. She realized her smile had widened. Now there was a hunt. An Atharim god. Damn but what a great challenge that would be. And what did we have here? Looked like those two morons wanted in as well. They'd already signed up for the hunt. Well, they could think that if they wanted. She was going to do this.
After a moment of thought, though. She messaged Yoshi. Be nice to have someone solid at her side. Someone she could trust. They were in the order together, after all. She used her computer to find those two idiots- Henrik and Stephan. Their wallets gave the same location. Good. Easy to track.
She added the location to another message to Yoshi. He would already know the particulars of this hunt. Good hunters were always alert.
She'd meet him there and then they'd see if Henrik and Stephan were smart enough to make the right decisions.
