[@BlackPanther] Aries never took his eyes off Vlad's eyes, showing that he was determined and serious about his request. He knew deep down that Vlad was not going to make it easy, knowing his history and all. But then...he said it...all he wanted was a reason...a legit reason besides the obvious need for muscle and having a smaller group. For a moment of silence, movement finally came about as Aries stood up and looked over at the portrait of his mother standing with his uncle and himself "You know...for the longest, Hybrids were not common...every now and then in history, they showed but...not too long after, they'd die or get killed simply for being what they were. because of the recent events, I believe that us...three families was basically given a warning...a wake up call that we could be wiped out. Is it the beginning....was the killer's aim just for the heads? I have no clue. What I do know is that, if the killer is human and have the means to destroy us, I would think that uniting to survive against an enemy we do not know of, that have what it takes to kill us, should be enough reason for you to be with us. Hybrids like me and you are nothing but abominations that many would love to rid this world of. I'm doing this to preserve us...for the sake of Hybrids." he tried reasoning. [@Rusalka] Realizing that she was aware of the current situation, Stone just sat there listening while she explained her lack of interest in the three families feud, the back stories, and the extra info Stone was wanting to share with Rebecca about the man she was going to pursue. "Confident huh? Well all I will say, since you feel that you have everything figured out, don't underestimate him...he's probably as old as you." he mentioned. This was not exactly care or concern for her well being, it was more of a warning not to jeopardize the mission. He wanted to explain the fact that he once sent a strike team after Vlad but the attempts was hilariously a failure. He didn't want to see that failure again. The chances were a little better this time since he was sending the right [i]curbs[/i] Vlad's way this time so to persuade him differently. That is, if things go as planned but that's asking too much when considering Rebecca's attitude on matters and her every attempt to spite her employer. Letting her leave, he was brought to attention the fact she knew he was sending spies shadowing her and Cammie while they were out. Stone gave a smirk "They're just my insurance policy. I need them around just in case you fuck up. So I'm telling you again whether you are plotting against me or not, I still own you." he said as the Cunt and dyke slave left but he was then visited by his other agent Katya after she shared something with both Rebecca and Cammie. [@Kurai Assassin] The moment Katya barged in, Stone watched her with a look as if she lost her mind. "Wait Agent Moreno." he said as he pressed down on a button of his machine contacting another agent "Agent Monroe, contact Archer....tell him to hang back and let Rebecca and the girl go on this mission." hearing a voice answer back [color=aba000]But sir, she cannot be trusted...shouldn't we just have him stay on her anyway?[/color] "I don't trust her but if I send someone to spy on her again, I'm sure they will find out and take down the spies. I need my men in good health. I'm letting her go this time but if something goes wrong, Archer is going after her again. but hey, I have to deal with something right now." [color=aba000]Yes sir.[/color] Stone looked at Katya "How many times have I told you about barging into my office like this? You may be one of my more trusted agents but you need to show more respect." he said pausing and composing himself "Now what are talking about with guys looking around for us? I'm sure we have enemies everywhere." [@Allie] With the bartender staring on "So are you considering hiding or running away....leaving town until everything calms? If you do, it would be logical. I don't think anyone would see you as a coward."
