"No, go rest. I've got this.." He shooed Aaron from the kitchen then set about getting the bleach, a bucket, a rag, and hauling them to the sink. It was really no effort to do so, of course. He filled up the bucket with hot water and mixed in the proper amount of bleach while it filled. He let the rag soak while he went to get a pair of gloves. Even though he'd heal right away, he still had an act to keep up.

[Bovice]

Aaron sighed internally as he was shooed from the kitchen. He pushed himself off of the counter and went to his room to get cleaned up. He came out about ten minutes later in a white tee shirt and a pair of lounge pants. He leaned into the kitchen, "I'll be right back I need to get my bag from my car." He smiled a bit and went to slip on a pair of shoes.

[Evil Tink]

Adelais rung out the rag as he had now finished, "Already took care of that.." He stood, dumping the bloody bleach/water down the drain, not really concerned about what happened to it now. He removed the gloves and threw them into the sink so they could dry off, then pointed to the counter where the bag now lay. "I'm just that good.." he winked, leaning back on the counter, crossing his arms over his chest. "I'm assuming Gene doesn't know any of this about you...so what the hell possessed her to introduced us?"

[Bovice]

Aaron turned around and walked into the kitchen, "How'd? That's right I left my keys in the door." He sighed a bit. "No she doesn't, I usually don't tell people. I really don't know, all she said was that you were a great guy who sulked all of the time." He chuckled a bit as he unzipped the bag and pulled out five stacks of $100 dollar bills. "$50,000. If you want it, since you did kill my guy." He held out the stacks for the man to take with a smile.

[Evil Tink]

He shook his head, "Keep the pocket change..consider it..a finder's fee. You found him, you get the change." He shrugged. "I told her I didn't want to do this from the beginning, but...she's a hard woman to stop." He flinched a bit, his phone suddenly buzzing wildly in his pocket. He pulled it out with a slight growl, listening to the shrill woman on the other end. "Ge...wou...c..." He sighed as she interrupted him at every word. When she finally shut up, he spoke, "I don't appreciate you calling me in the middle of my..'date' that you forced me into..." With that, he flipped the phone shut and shoved it back into his pocket. "Either way, she's awfully nosy as well...it would not have surprised me if she had discovered that.." After all, she detected I was a vampire on the third day of knowing her. "She's a very attentive woman.."

[Bovice]

Aaron tossed the bundle of money into the bag, "I know, I told her the same thing. Especially in my 'line' of work. If my competitors found out that I was dating someone, they would go after him." He sighed a bit. He held back his chuckles as he heard Gene yelling on the other end of the phone. "She is, but I have only met her a few times in person. So she hasn't really had a chance to sniff out my lies." He chuckled a bit.

[Evil Tink]

He shook his head, "Give it time..she'll figure it out..if she hasn't already.." He sighed, pushing himself from the counter. "I should be off now though. You just rest for the night...I still need to get my reward from you before I allow you to die." He chuckled lightly then went for the door.

[Bovice]

Aaron nodded for what seemed like the millionth time, "I'll be fine." He bit the inside of his cheek. "Oh I see how it is, just using me." He chuckled. He followed the man to the door, "Stop by anytime you want to claim your reward. Thanks again for removing the bullet." He smiled.

[Evil Tink]

As Aaron came over, his hand came up to lightly touch his cheek, "Oh, I'm not just using you. I've got big plans for you, darling." He winked again removing his hand and opening the door, "Next time you get shot though..at least make sure it's not in such a...'lame' location. Legs are always better~" Before the man could react, he was out the door and down the hall; moving rather fast. When he was out of sight, he teleported himself to his Loft a few miles away.

[Bovice]

Aaron placed his hand on his cheek, "Ok..." He trailed off as he saw that he was already gone. He closed the door and locked the deadbolt. He kept his hand on his cheek as he made his way to his room. A confused look came over his face as he entered his room, "What did he mean by plans?" He grabbed his arm as he gently fell into bed.

The next morning, Adelais was rudely awoken to his phone buzzing on the end table next to his bed. He growled, opening it after seeing it was Genevieve again. "What do you want? I'm not in the mood to talk about last night..." "Aw come on Ade~ Don't get all 'I hate the sun/morning cause I'm a vampire' on me. I will not tolerate that kind of behavior. Just tell me how it went? You don't have to be specific..." He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose, "This could not have waited until sometimes after 8 am? Either way..it was..interesting..there..now good bye." He shut the phone before she could respond then pulled out the battery, laying back down. He draped his arm over his eyes. He knew she called him so early on purpose...he really should've adjusted her memories, but he felt wrong for doing it. She was one of his closest friends this time around in the U.S...and she handled the confirmation rather well...he figured she was competent to handle it.

With another heavy sigh, he hauled himself from the bed, running his hand through his pitch black hair. What am I going to do with that woman? He chuckled lightly as he stood and headed for the shower after grabbing a clean set of clothes. He decided to take an extra long and relaxing shower; he deserved it after all. Once he was fully dress, he sighed as he combed through his hair. His one sided gaze couldn't help but peek at his nearly white, right eye.

While he had been blind in that eye since he was 5, it was still rather strange that when he turned, it didn't repair. Was it because he had had the injury for so long previous? Who knew. His memory flashed back to when the knife was rammed into his eye, and even though he told Gene that his mother did it[and with a little knife], it was done by a complete stranger to him. He was lucky to have survived the incident, even with him being a vampire.

With a sigh, he left the bathroom and went to grab his eye patch and tied the knot behind his head. At least, his eye patch deterred humans from approaching him. That was one good thing. After making sure it was secure, he headed downstairs, pondering what he could do today.

[Bovice]

Aaron sighed as his alarm clock went off, he had been awake for an hour or so. He couldn't sleep really, the whole conversation with Adelais replayed in his mind over and over. "What did he mean by 'I have big plans for you.' " He sighed again. He sat up in bed and grabbed his arm as it began to throb. He moved his feet to the floor and stood. He went to his bathroom to take a shower, before he did he removed the bandage and looked at it in the mirror. It looked really bad, like he should go to the hospital and have it checked out. But then he would have to go through who, what, when, where, and why he was shot. He shook his head as he climbed into the shower.


After a long shower he got out and dried off, he sighed when he saw that the wound was bleeding. He shouldn't of been so rough with the washcloth. He grabbed some toilet paper and gently dabbed the blood away. He tossed the bloody toilet paper in the toilet and grabbed some antiseptic wipes from the medicine cabinet. He ripped the package and gently rubbed it over the wound, wincing every now and then. After a few moment he discarded the wipe and quickly bandaged up the wound. Wrapping it with some medical tape to make sure it stayed on.

He walked out of the bathroom and quickly put on some comfortable clothes. He walked out of his room and flipped on the TV as he went to make himself some breakfast.

[Evil Tink]

Suddenly, there came a knock at Aaron's door; rapid and nonstop. "Aaron~ Open up~ Plleeaseee~?" Genevieve sighed, continuing to knock on the door for a moment longer before stopping. She quickly adjusted her hat and fixed her tie, "Come on Aaron! I'm a curious woman and you won't stop me!"

[Bovice]

Aaron sighed as he heard the knock at his door, he laid his plate of scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast on the counter. He went over to the door and unlocked the deadbolt, "Come on in." He moved away from the door and went to grab his plate. "And I know I can't stop you." He smiled a bit before he took a bite of toast.

[Evil Tink]

Genevieve smiled as he opened the door, stepping inside after him, "Thank you~ Now then!" She helped herself up to sit on the counter next to him, jabbing his shoulder lightly, "Sooo~ How'd it gooo~"

[Bovice]

Aaron winced in pain as Gene punched his bad shoulder. "It was interesting." His tone had a small amount of pain in it. He took another bite of toast as his arm started to not throb, "So what are you up to today?" He smiled a bit after he finished chewing his toast.
