Rose

Rose entered the club silently.She was waiting on the others due to the fact that she had gone on her own "case" or so she told the others.In truth she just wanted to go out alone.Her friends were so over protective over her due to the fact that last the leader went out alone she died.Even though the gang didn't know it Rose knew how she had died.Silently she walked up to the counter, and sat down waiting for the bartender and her friends to show up.She put herself at rest when she heard Dawn was okay.Soon she have to tell her about Isabella soon.Not to mention the others.Her mother thought it would be good for her new daughter who was 15 to come be with her and the others.She pushed the thoughts away as she waited.

Nikki Kendall

Nikki approached Rose. "Can I help you?" She asked.

Kendra, Andrei and Luke played with some toys in the corner.

Adrian sat in a seat and watched the children, not knowing that they were his niece and nephews.

Rose

Rose looked up when she heard a voice."Just a beer please,"she said giving her the money for it.She glanced over at Adrian who seemed to remind her of someone, but she couldn't name.She then saw the kids playing in the corner, and a smile came to her face.She loved kids and thats why she always cared for the youngest in her group and watched over them mostly.

Nikki Kendall

Nikki nodded and put a beer on the counter.

Luke carefully and quietly reached over and grabbed a toy car from his blind brother, who began to search for his missing toy.

Kendra looked at Nikki. "Mama, Luke is being a brat again!" She tattled.

Nikki looked at her son and put her hands on her hips. "Luke, don't make me come over there." She scolded. Luke immediately dropped the toy car. Kendra gave it back to Andrei.

Adrian grinned. He could remember his younger siblings being that small.

Rose

Rose smiled."Thanks,"she said taking a sip.Thats when she saw the little drama between the kids, and smiled not helping it.She then glanced over at Adrian again trying to rember who he reminded her of.She quickly looked away not wanting to be rude.

The hardest thorns
May have the softest rose
Skin thats torn
Can you have a better pose?
Rose

Peter,Deliah.Josh,Joseph, and Trista entered.They began to make their way to where Rose was.

Nikki Kendall

Nikki briefly smiled at Rose.

Kendra ran to the counter and climbed up onto a seat. "Mom, can I have some lemonade?" She asked. Nikki nodded. "Of course." She poured a glass of lemonade for her daughter.

Adrian soon walked to the counter and sat next to Kendra. He was still surprised at how similar she looked to those in his family.

Nikki looked at the man. "Adrian, I haven't seen you and your brothers in a while. Has everything been okay?" She asked. Adrian sighed and shook his head. "We keep getting attacked. Viktor's still on the edge of life and death and Dimitri gets pummeled by the Akatsukis left and right. And Angela...she's been taken captive. She doesn't remember who she is." He said in a low tone. Nikki sighed. "That's terrible."

It was then that Nikki noticed the rest of Rose's group. "Can I get you anything?" She asked them.

Rose

Rose silently listened to what they said in one ear.Its that when she heard Dimitris name that she suddenly perked up with intrest.She waited till they were threw speaking.

"Beer,"They all said silently.Deliah looked at Rose suddenly perkyness curios.They had missed the name.

"Excuse me, but i hate to be rude, but how is Dimitri.Since he got shot,"she asked her voice soft.She rembered that they had tried to help him, but he couldn't trust them enough due to the fact that they had just met, and didn't know each other.

Thats when Deliah and the others looked up.They were waiting for an answer now.

Adrian Volkov

Adrian raised an eyebrow, staring for a moment. "How do you know my brother?" He asked defensively.

Kendra looked up at Rose and grinned. "Ooooh... You made Mister Adrian mad. That's not a good thing." She said, obviously unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

Nikki hushed her daughter and then got the group their drinks.

Rose

Rose looked at Kendra wondering what she meant by that, but then she looked back at Adrian."My younger sister Dawn and her two friends ran into him at the bridge where he was hurt.Me and the rest of my friends met them up later.Deliah our healer tried to help him, but he said his brother would take care of it.I guess he meant you,"she said nodding her head to her group when she said my friends.The others watched thanking Nikki when they got their drinks.Rose waited for a reaction silently.

Adrian Volkov

Adrian looked away. "He didn't mean me. He meant my older brother. My leader." He had a bad feeling that his brother Viktor, who was the group's leader, might never be the same. With a sigh, Adrian ordered a vodka and stared at the wall.

Kendra looked at her uncle, stepping down from her seat and walking toward him. "Mister Adrian? Are you alright?" She asked. There was no response from Adrian.

Nikki shook her head and sighed, then looked at Rose. "He doesn't like to talk about his family much anymore, ever since their bad encounters with some airhead gang." She stated.

Rose

Rose nodded her head."The hardest they can hit you with is family,"she said with a sigh.She knew how that felt like many others.The others nodded their heads sadly.Rose wondered if their was anything they could do to help, but could think of nothing at the moment.

Adrian; Dimitri; Mika; Nikki

Adrian glanced at Rose, but said nothing.

Dimitri slammed the doors open and entered the building, followed by his sister Mika. Mika took her brother's hand and led him to where their older brother Adrian was. "Guess what just happened to me? I was just harassed by the Akatsukis again." Dimitri said, obviously enraged. "This is it. I'm going to kill them. Who's with me?"

Adrian looked at Mika, who shook her head and shrugged. He stood up. "Dimitri, think about this for a moment. These guys are strong. Not many people are willing to go up against them. And those who do often don't come back alive." He said calmly, looking down at his younger brother. "Just wait until Ben can meet with us. We'll work something out."

Dimitri shook his head. "I'm not going to wait that long! They have Angela and Akilina. We can't stand back and let them keep our sisters." He paused and lowered his voice, getting into Adrian's space. "We should kill the scrawny kid and his girlfriend."

Mika sat down, leaning against the bar. "Adrian, I tried to stop him, but he's determined." She stated.

Kendra watched, and her brothers soon joined her. Nikki led them behind the counter. "Go see Grandma and Grandpa. We're talking about grownup stuff right now." She said to her children. They nodded and ran into the 'employees only' room.

Nikki then looked at Rose and her group. "I'm sorry about this. They've been having bad encounters with a violent gang."

Rose

Rose watched as Dimitri and another young woman came in.They listened to what they said silently.Rose nodded her head to Nikki."If you could use any help me and my group would be glad to help,"she said silently to Dimitri and the other two.Peter,Deliah,Josh,Josheph, and Trista nodded their heads.

Rose knew she bring Dawn with them,if they agreed to have Rose and her group, but she would leave Tom and Reita behind.They were too young to get involved yet.If Isabella was here by then, and had some good gang training then she would come as well.Her mother said she been apart of a gang since she was 12 and knew pretty well how to defend herself.She soon erased the thoughts from her mind.

They waited for an answer from the others.

Dimitri

Dimitri turned around. He recognized the voices. "We don't need--" He began, but was gut off by Adrian. "We will accept your offer." The older man said.

Nikki sighed. "Dimitri, one of these days you're going to kill yourself, going out for revenge and all that." She said, shaking her head. Dimitri ignored her.

Adrian stepped forward and looked at Rose. "We'll wait for our ally to meet with us, and then we'll work something out." He said with a thick Russian accent. The ally he spoke of, of course, was Benjamin Linus of the ATHA.

Rose

Rose listened silently to what was being said.She nodded her head to what Adrian said."We'll help anyway we can.The only thing is when and where,"she said.She knew her group would be preparing for a battle.Praticing harder and in every way of combat till the day was here.She did not know of the ally he spoke of, but from the way he said it she guessed he was impotant.She didn't even know the ATHA which showed how new she and her group were here.They waited for an answer.Deliah will have more stuff to do due to she was a fighter and a healer.She would be collecting herbs with the younger members while praticing, but her eyes shone lively as she waited with the others for an answer.
