Oh, and I love how you implemented clothes pictures in your post - I might do that in the future.
He was slightly relieved as he heard Lilith mention a hotel room. Well, of course he was – the last thing Aleks could possibly want in this situation are rumors that he is involved with a certain female. It could stir too much trouble, especially amongst lower ranked officers of the "family". And he was even less keen on explaining her presence to his father. To be an alpha male in such an organization, not only does one how to be ruthless and strong – he has to be intelligent. And Aleks sudden involvement with Lilith would surely make him suspicious.
The less he is seen with Lilith, the better.
But something did bother him – a sudden sense of unease. Lilith left, but it wasn’t due to her presence – or, in this case, lack of it. No – it was something else, but he wasn’t able to put his finger on exact problem here. Problem… the only problem is this sense of déjà vu wrecking my brain. Get a hold of yourself, Aleks scolded himself as he moved to the bathroom, splashing his face with cold water. He looked in the mirror, water dripping from his face. Was he afraid that something would go wrong? No…
With that word of denial, it hit him – “Try not to worry about me too much,” Lilith said it, straight to his face. It took him a while to connect the dots, but at least now he understood where that sense of dread and déjà vu came from. She told him that too.
Focus, Aleks. You’ll have time to reminisce later, he frowned as he brought more water to his face.
******
“Do you see that?” Aleks pointed at the signature on the bottom of the paper. The male figure sitting across the table from him inspected it carefully. The small coffee shop was not particularly full, not at this hour, a fact that seemed to bring relief to his acquaintance.
A man in his sixties, nearing an age for retirement, looked at the paper through his glasses. His gray hair was falling over his wrinkled forehead. He seemed to be in good shape, considering his age – although he was still too old for his occupation. Barely visible, inside of his brown suit jacket, was a shiny badge and an ID. A police inspector – one of the best.
Although the two were familiar with each other, one could even go as far to say “friendly”, the man was still uneasy meeting in public with one of Aleks’ kind. Probably because of his job. No – most certainly because of his job.
“Volgin, what can you tell me about it? Am I wrong for thinking it’s forged?”
He coughed before handing the paper back. “Indeed. I would say that it was one of the managers that did it,” his voice was the same as the man with whom Aleks spoke during the night. What Aleks asked of him was that he meets him today, at this very coffee shop. He asked him to take a look at a few papers for him, considering he is the leading expert in forgeries… amongst all other things. When he told Volgin that Nikolai could have his head should he not deal with this soon, Volgin accepted to meet him.
But Aleks knew that his foster father wouldn’t have his head for such small dealings and, in the end, he was able to see for himself that this was a forgery. And he knew the whole charade behind it already. But it was still a clever move on his behalf. Soon, Lilith would kill her designated targets, the police would be alerted and Volgin would be called in. Due to that, Aleks, being with him at this time, would have a rock solid alibi on his hands.
Perfect.
All that remained now was to prolong this meeting enough for Lilith to take care of her role.

Indeed. I never was a fan of alcohol of any kind actually. That doesn't mean I don't have a drink every now and then - I just don't enjoy it as much as... I don't know, tea. :P
Not a problem at all ^.^ I've been busy myself - which is why I'm replying slower than usual. But a post for you is soon here - oh and I realised I haven't done those short CSs. In ten hours - I promise.
Yay! We're really doing a great job here, I like it! :3
It's great, don't worry about it.

Hopefully, I guessed the right number of digits for a Russian cellphone :P
"I have no more orders," Aleks spoke calmly, a soft smile residing on his face, "Just a friendly advice." His smile turned into a smirk as he finished his sentence. He saw an opening in her eyes - she was ticked off by his friendly remark from before. Fine, then so be it... - "Do not underestimate those men. They might even pull one on you if you're not careful." She had to recognize the mockingly satisfied expression on his face. He brushed the smirk away fast away.
"Good," he went on, not stopping to give her enough time to retaliate, "I guess it is a positive thing that you're not asking for the money to buy it. I suppose you can take care of that yourself." With one swift move, Aleks stood up and walked towards his gray suit jacket that was hung near the door. Out of its inner pocket, he took a pen and since he was there already, put it on. Approaching Lilith, he got down on his knee to write something down on a piece of paper. It was a ten-digit number belonging to his personal cellphone. Only few people knew that number, so that way he could be sure that the text would indeed be from her, without even needing to take the phone out. Ripping that part of the paper, he offered it to Lilith, still on his knee.
He waited for her to take the paper, before getting up. "Me? I don't think you should worry about that. Your task should be more of a priority," he smiled as he escorted her to the door, "But I'll indulge you - I have to take care of a few things, making sure that we are able to continue killing without raising suspicion right off the bat."
Aleks would stay in the apartment for a while longer, both of them going out at the same time could be troublesome in the long run.

You drank beer instead of posting?! Shame on you, you... you... beer-drinker!
I'll give you a short description of them soon and sure we can both do it. I can make an introduction post for them, kinda guide you into the mood of RPing as them and then you can take control. That sounds good?
Of course I won't judge :P And I'm sure you're not going to suck~~

Watching her eat made him hungry - unfortunately, there were still some obvious things that made him a human. Things he could not escape. He would have to remember to eat something later - even better if he does, it will make his role in this little job even more convincing. He kindly smiled as his mind allowed her to eat without complaining any further. Asking questions about the task at hand made Aleks smile - she might be extraordinary, but she was not all-knowing. That obvious fact made him feel comfortable.
She mentioned collateral damage, which meant that her little job would attract attention. He knew that might be the case and secretly hope it would. "As I mentioned earlier, they are soldiers - mere thugs. You can count on two of them being bodyguards, which may indeed prove troublesome, but the other three shouldn't be a problem." Of course, when he contacted Tambov, no one told him how many people would show up. There was a good possibility that more than five people would be at the meeting spot - which is why he told them to meet at a hotel away from their neighborhood, or any other isolated place for that matter. He was certain that there wouldn't be more than five people there - even one more would bring more attention to them that they would want. Of course, that did not mean someone could not observe from outside.
Should that happen, Lilith would have more problems on her hands than she was supposed to, but that was necessary risk. However, the five men on the inside - he already knew what roles those men would have. Precious powder in the briefcase made sure of that. Two bodyguards, one negotiator and two testers. It was a standard procedure - after all, someone did have to check the effect of the holy terror. That said, those two junkies would prove not to be a problem to someone like Lilith. Even the negotiator would prove an easy target - best case scenario, she would be able to seduce him. But the bodyguards... they were sure to fight back. Members that were given the role of bodyguards were mostly underground fighters - tough, but stupid. They were sure to raise their voices when they find out what's happening. Meaning... someone would probably overhear it and call the police.
And if everything went according to his plan - Lilith would be nowhere near the hotel when the police arrive at the scene, only thing remaining a briefcase full of powder and dead gang members. If that does not raise tensions between factions, Aleks did not know what would.
"And in case of someone interfering and seeing your face - kill them. Otherwise, leave them be. As long as they are not able to recognize you on the street, they should be left alone," Aleks finally answered, "and as for the place, it is at a hotel - Rossiya, room 506. The hotel is situated between Kirovskiy and Frunzenskiy regions, a fairly neutral ground for the boys of Tambov, so you should be more at ease there than anywhere else. The meeting will be during daylight, at 4 PM. Considering that, you can almost certainly count on police, so try not to stay there too long after taking care of our friends. Luckily for you, I made sure that the closest police station is far enough so you will have enough time to disappear."
He seemed content with his explanation, but then remembered one crucial detail, "Almost forgot to ask you - do you have a cell phone? If you do not, buy a dispensable one before going to the meeting. I will give you my number, so you can text me when you're in the clear. But do not call me - just send a text. Understood?" He said everything he had to, but still had a feeling he ordered her a bit too much for her liking, and was prepared to hear her growl at him. That brought a smile on his face, but although he would love to tick her off, it would not be good for morale.
"And... be careful, alright?"

hahah, you're right, I haven't seen it, but I will skip all that to watch it, as soon as I finish watching some Di Caprio movies I have on my list! :P
You should feel bad, missus! Joking, I don't mind, our posts are bound to get longer soon :P
I have a small segment for Aleks, during your little assassing job :3 but I can control the guys if you want, although you may take their control on yourself. Depends on whay you'd rather do. If you want to try your hand at the thug character, you can :3

You don't mean to tell me she will eat all of it?! Stop her. His heart was infuriated, but he managed to keep a straight face. Barely. If it wasn't for her expression that intrigued him, he would maybe even say something. It was better this way, he shouldn't show it was getting to him. Ignoring the fact that she was eating with her bare hands, he focused on explaining their goal today.
"I got a call from an acquaintance of mine - few weeks ago,," he began, crossing his legs, "that the infamous Tambov faction was making some radical progress into our... market." Aleks thought against mentioning what their market was all about. Drugs, weapons. Black market at its finest. Things that Lilith shouldn't be interested in. "Back then, we swiftly dealt with the problem. But the faction is still eager to get back into the big game." He stopped there, switching his crossed legs. The thing was - the man he had an appointment with yesterday was actually on good terms with the Tambov. And by taking out a few of their grunts out of the picture, tension between him and Nikolai would grow immensely.
Aleks knew that the only way to destroy his foster father was to slowly break his company down. And by adding an element of tension in the picture, he would give Lilith more free space to eliminate his targets, without putting the spotlight on himself. It was a flawless idea - in theory. He hoped Lilith could deliver, as there were still a lot of unknowns about her. "I anonymously contacted Tambov and set up a meeting with a few of their soldiers. I, of course, won't be meeting them... but you will." He pointed at the briefcase.
"That's your ticket. What's inside shouldn't bother you, just put on an act of a clueless courier, that just happens to be a beatiful woman, and get them when they least expect it." Aleks emphasized the compliment as he got up and approached the briefcase. It was a plain black briefcase, available for purchase almost everywhere. It was cheap as well, which meant that anyone was able to afford it. He took it in his left hand and brought it back to the table. "And after you're done," he spoke up again, making sure to emphasize the importance of his words, "make sure you leave the briefcase on the scene."

Hahaha, don't say stuff like that, it really sounds like I'm a bad guy :(
