Fessura,Vincent,Heidi,Matthew

Fessura and Vincent led the way here. They entered it and looked around.At first they didn't spot Rachel and moved to sit down and order Coffee.

heidi sighed and sat down and matthew followed suit. They each had a pair of pistols on them.

Rachel Parker; Maria Sokolov; Christie

Rachel didn't notice the others, but Maria did. As usual, she was suspicious.

Christie, being a guard dog, of course felt the need to protect her pack. These people were too close to them. She started barking and snarling at Fessura and the others.

Rachel and Maria did nothing to stop their angry dog. These strangers were getting in their space, and they'd get what's coming to them.

Fessura

Fessura looked over and glared at the dog.Shut it dogHe growled being the one with a foul temper.

Vincent only looked over.

Heidi smiled at the dog.Her dod would be shipped to this city soon enough and she couldn't wait.Jack would love it here.

Matthew didn't look over.

Rachel Parker; Maria Sokolov; Christie

Maria stood up, her hand on her pistol. "Don't tell Christie...what...to do!" She strained to find the right words to say in English. It was hard for the gang to teach a Russian woman English, knowing no Russian themselves.

Rachel pulled Maria back down. "These are the good guys." She said calmly.

Christie continued to growl. She hadn't seen these humans before, so to her they were enemies.

Fessura

Fessura looked over and smiled when he noticed rachel.Well if it ain't Rachel!He said now standing up.

Vincent smirked and tilted his head.

Heidi smiled.Pretty dog you got thereSh spoke.

Matthew yawned

Rachel Parker; Maria Sokolov; Christie

Rachel smiled. "It's good to see you again." She replied.

A low growl arose from the back of Maria's throat and she moved her hand away from her gun. "Rachel...you forget..." She said dully.

Rachel looked back at the older woman, sighing, then looked at her allies once again. "We're keeping a lookout for somebody. Maria here is trying to track her down. Her name's Lark Volkov. Have you seen her? She's tall and has black hair and gray eyes." She said to them.

Christie calmed down a bit, but kept a wary eye on the strangers.

Fessura

He looked to the cielling and then back to them.I'm sorry I have not seen anyone fitting that descriptionHe spoke.

Heidi went outside and braught in jack on a leash.The pitbull male wagged his tail looking at the other dog.He barked and wagged his tail.

Vincent sighed.where's jesse?

Matthew looked over now.

Rachel Parker; Maria Sokolov; Christie

Rachel sighed when Vincent asked where Jesse was. "Remember Shasta Wild, my old leader's sister? He went to question her. I don't know when he'll be back." It still made her sad to think of Mike and how he died. Jesse made it his goal to bring down the ATHA.

Maria grumbled when there was no news on Lark.

Christie barked at the pit bull, her head and tail high.

Vincent

Vincent listened.I seeHe said scratching his head. He hadn't gotten along with mike back when he first joined the gang.He watched her and sighed.so hows life beenHe spoke.

Fessura yawned.

Matt just sat there not really a talker.

Heidi:That is really a pretty dogShe was trying to strike up a convo.

Jack had his tail and head high but was still wagging his tail.He loved other dogs and was eager to be around others.I'm jack who are you?

Rachel Parker; Maria Sokolov; Christie

Rachel shook her head. "Life sucks." She said blankly.

Maria narrowed her eyes. She didn't really like to talk and was a bit annoyed that the only people she knew of in the Valley who spoke her language were her enemies. She kept her mouth shut out of spite.

Christie calmed down a bit. "I'm Christie." She said dully.

Fessura

He sighed.So how long till feather brains gets back here?He was known to use random words to call people today he felt like calling Jesse feather brains.

Vincent:he looked to his brother and snorted.Your such an idiot his names Jesse

Heidi sighed and looked down.

Matt:Is there anything fun to do in this village?He spoke.

Jack barked nad smiled and soon sat down.So how long you been here?

Rachel Parker; Maria Sokolov; Christie

Rachel sneered at Fessura. "Don't call him that." She growled. "He'll be back soon."

Maria looked at Matt. "No fun. Nothing." She replied.

Rachel shoved Maria. "Yeah, there's all kinds of crap here. But we have to stay here and wait for Volkov."

Christie tilted her head. "All my life. You?" She answered.

Fessura

He grunted and shrugged.What everHe spoke.was just playing around geeze does everyone take these things serious now a days?He grunted.

Vincent yawned.

Matt:how long do you have to wait? What if Volkov never shows?

Jack:Not long about a month i believeHe spoke his tail wagging and beating against the floor.

Rachel Parker

Rachel shook her head, sighing.

Maria glared at Matt. "Don't question me." She said coldly.

Soon enough, Jesse and Samuel returned to the Cafe, surprised to see the others here. "I haven't seen you for a while." Jesse said bluntly. He was still upset over letting Shasta go.

Vincent

Vincent had heard the door opened and had glanced back to see jesse and smirked.Same goes for you jesseHe smirked.

Fessura:Geeze about time fluffy pantsHe smirked. Maybe Jesse's attitude hadn't changed alot. He never usually called anyone by their name.

Matt:he smiled and nodded his head.

Heidi smiled.Good to see you jesse

Jack:The dog barked and his tail wagged.

Jesse Norse

Jesse threw a punch at Fessura. "Don't call me that, freak." He said angrily.

Rachel wasn't surprised to see that Jesse attacked Fessura. In fact, she was a little bit relieved. Fessura needed to be put in his place.

"Jesse!" Samuel shouted, shocked by his reaction.

Christie bared her teeth, staring into Jack's eyes. "Your human is upsetting my human." She growled.

Fessura

He hadn't expected a punch his nose bled he glared.He didn't speak though.Well his attitude had changed.His hands were in fists as he wiped his face with the back of his hand.

Vincent:he let out a sigh.Geeze Jesse whats got you riled?he spoke.

Heidi winced.

Matt he just sat there.

Jack he stared her right back.So your pinning it on me!He snarled.He's just playing but apparently everyones life has changed them

Jesse Norse

Samuel pulled Jesse back before he could throw another punch. "Now maybe you'll know your place!" Jesse shouted.

Rachel looked at Vincent. "He just had an encounter with his enemies." She informed.

Christie growled louder. "No, I'm saying that if your human bothers my human, your human dies." She wasn't bluffing.

Fessura

He glared at him and then flipped him off.His eyes narrowed angerly.He wiped his nose again.

Vincent he sighed.OiHe looked at them.

Jack:he growled.Whose gonna kill him you?He snarled.Plus their in the same gang if they start killing each other well then they won't be no gang will they?

Itachi walked soon into the cafe. After the attack on his house he was pissed off and needed something to eat while the others fixed his house up.

Sasuke who now had an eye patch over his left eye followed his brother.He glanced over at the others that seemed to be fighting.

Zabuza had left his sword at home but carried a smaller one as he followed suit.

Kakashi followed as well

Jesse Norse

Jesse backed off now, but kept a cold stare on Fessura.

Christie snarled. "Yes. I can rip his guts out if I want to." She shot back. "If your human bothers my human, the leader, they won't be a gang either."

Rachel sneered at Sasuke. "What are you looking at, cyclops?" She snapped.

Fessura

He sat back down when jesse backed off and he ordered something to drink.He took a napkin and cleaned off his face.

Vincent sighed and looked over at the new group.

Jack:Oh please mind your own buisness cuz i don't want to fight you but if you attack my human i will attack you

Sasuke glared and he snared and had turned toward the girl.I'd like to see you say that to my face cunt faceHe snarled his hand on his sword.

Itachi growled and put his hand on his brothers shoulder.Why don't you keep your comments to yourself girl

Kakashi looked over only his right eye visible.

Zabuza groaned.

Lisa

Lisa padded into the cafe silently.Her blong hair hang loosely at her shoulder.She looked around as the two were groups yelling at each other.Silently she padded to an empty booth which wasn't to far off.She had a sling hung around her shoulder that held a knife their.She also carried a pistol in her pocket.She was no stranger to violence what so ever.

Jesse Norse

Jesse stood beside Rachel. "Yeah, why don't you just shut it, outcast." He said spitefully.

Rachel clenched her fists. "Cyclops, cyclops, cyclops. There! I said it!" She taunted.

Christie laughed darkly. "Then your human had better stop before I'm forced to kill you." The huge dog snapped back.

Fessura

He stood up.He glared at the four.His hand going to his pistol but keeping it concealed.

Vincent stood up.

Heidi she sighed and just watched.

Jack:My humans will shoot you before you couldHis attention then snapped to the new commotion and he growled.

Itachi's eyes narrowed.The only outcasts here are youHe spoke.

Sasuke narrowed his eye and pulled away from his brother.You wanna fight cunt ha!He snarled drawing his sword.

Kakashi groaned.Itachi, Why are you causing trouble, We have enough to worry about the ATHA we don't have time for this

Zabuza pulled hissword out and waited.

Lisa

Lisa watched a bit amused about this.Her light green eyes watching everything.This is amusing she thought.

Sarah padded in silently and sat beside Lisa.She watched the other dogs argue silently.She was a full blooded bulldog and it showed.Her light brown pelt lined with black stripes.Her white paws and stomach.Her green orbs never leaving nothing.

Jesse Norse

Jesse calmed down a bit when Kakashi mentioned the ATHA. "You're against the ATHA too?" He asked.

Itachi

He looked back at Kakashi and then grabed his brothers hand.PUt it away Kakashi is right SasukeHe spoke.His brother very unwillingly did as said.His eye narrowed.Yah so what about it?Sasuke spoke.

Fessura watched them.His nose finally stoped bleeding.

Lisa

Lisa listened now.Paying more attention.She had heard rumors about this group.Her light green eyes watched silently.Her knife in the sling still hung around her shoulder.She wondered why the groups stoped arguing.Maybe they broth hate the group.Her eyes narrowed.She wondered if she shoul;d speak up.

Sarah watched the others still silent.Her ears perked up listeing.Whta did these people and their dogs want.

Jesse Norse

Jesse, now having more self-control, motioned for his gang to calm down. "We hate the ATHA too..." He replied plainly. "Namely, Shasta Wild. You ever heard of her? She's a freak and she's a member of the ATHA."

Itachi

He listened to him.Don't know her.Got names of them but can't placem ost with a bodyHe spoke.Right now itachi wanted anyone against the ATHA on their side.

Sasuke growled and glared.

Fessura grunted.

Jesse Norse

An alliance, maybe? It didn't hurt to ask. Maybe it did, but it was a necessary risk. "Then I have a proposal to make. We could strike up an alliance with a mission to defeat the ATHA." He offered.

Sasuke

He glared.Don't do it brother, When others make wise cracks about something it means us no goodHe snared glaring at rachel.

Itachi sighed at his brother but kept his focus on Jesse.You got yourself an Alliance but take heed any back stabbing what so ever will not be tolerated and if done then you will not have your livesHe spoke his red eyes glaring.

zabuza watched them.

Kakashi smirked slightly.Shut up sasuke you know nothing

fessura narrowed his eyes.The only one that means no good right now punk is youHe growled at Sasuke.

Vincent sighed as his brother spoke great another beating probably for his brother but vincent would step between this beating if it got to bad.

Jesse Norse

Jesse nodded. "Same to you." He replied bluntly.

Rachel sneered at Sasuke. "Shove it, punk." She shot back.

"Shut up, Rachel." Samuel said, shoving the young woman.

Maria kept a lookout for the target.

Sasuke

Sasuke was fouled tempered today because of everything that has happened.You both wanna go huh? Ill take you both on at the same timeHe growled his hand on his sword handle.

Itachi:Enough SasukeHe spoke but knew this might get ugly.

Zabuza kept his eye on sasuke.

Fessura;Come on then what you waiting for you piece of shit, You don't talk to us that wayHe growled his hand on his pistol.

Vincent just groaned and matt grunted heidi.God your all little insolent foolsShe said to the three arguing.

Jesse Norse

Maria shoved past Jesse, pulling out her pistol and aiming it at Sasuke. "Just try it." The Russian woman said.

Jesse smirked. "Well, the bounty hunter has everything handled." He joked before pulling her back. "These are allies, okay? Friends. Don't shoot." He explained to the enraged woman.

"Amigos." Samuel added. Jesse raised an eyebrow. "That's Spanish, you idiot. You'd be lucky if she didn't just shoot you right here for that wise comment of yours."

Maria looked at Jesse, then back at Sasuke. She didn't move.

Itachi

He grabed his younger brother by the back of the neck.You attack them I won't help youHe hissed.

Sasuke growled when he felt his brothers hand on the back of his neck and then glared.He sheathed his sword angerly his arms crossing.

Fessura:Aww little boy listens to bigger brother how cuteHis lips curled into a smirk.

Jesse Norse

By this time, Maria had calmed down and holstered her pistol again. She backed away.

Jesse looked back at Fessura. "If you don't shut your trap, you die." He warned.

Fessura

He was such an asshole. He glared at Jesse and his eyes narrowed.He fliped then all off and then sat down and drank.

Sasuke his eyes narrowed.His lip twitched.

Heidi she sighed.She uncounciously began to stroke jacks head.

Jesse Norse

Jesse sat back down next to Rachel, tapping his fingers on the table. Now they waited. This was the kind of place their target would be seen, especially late at night.

Itachi

Itach soon found some seats and sat down ordering some food.Sasuke had been in a foul temper for the past two weeks now and really need to fight someone.

Sasuke leaned against the counter and just stood there.

The others followed itachi.

Fessura finished his drink and then glared at the kid.

Jesse Norse; Viktor Volkov; Kira; Others

Viktor was walking past the Cafe when he noticed the Akatsuki in there. He grunted, entering the building. He wanted to see what they were up to.

Kira tagged along, her spotted coat shining.

Maria stod up when she saw Viktor. "Volkov! Gde Lark? Where's Lark?" She asked in a demanding tone.

Viktor looked at Maria. "Dazhe esli by ia znal, ia by ne passkazat' vam. Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you." He shot back bluntly. "You all can just stay away from Lark or I'll make your lives hell."

Jesse smirked. "That's not going to happen. We're going to track her down and we're going to kill her." He taunted.

Viktor, without warning, ran at Jesse, throwing a punch at his face. "I said stay away from my cousin!" He shouted.

Jesse would have a bruise on his face now. "Yeah, whatever." He mumbled.

Itachi

He stood up and glared.Back offHis eyes narrowed.He didn't know if viktor had ties with the ATHA but the meeting they had back before they had left made Viktor enemies.

Sasuke grunted he was about to attack fessura when viktor entered.

Jack the pitbull barked and growled but stayed put.

Fessura stood up pistol out.I'd like to see you make our lives living hell

Viktor Volkov

Viktor put his hands around Jesse's neck and strangled him. He kept at it for as long as he could before he as stopped by the others. "I said leave my cousin alone." He said in a deathly tone.

Not even Maria dared to cross paths with Viktor. He could take her down in a snap.

Itachi

He glared.Get lost before i chop your head offHe snarled.

sasuke and the others just stood

Viktor Volkov

Viktor let Jesse go when his face was blue.

Jesse, almost unconscious, struggled just to stand.

Viktor turned around to face Itachi. "Net! No!" He shouted. "I'll do whatever I damn well want to!"

If it had been any other enemy, Maria would have killed him right here. But she knew that Viktor was too strong for her. She just had to remain on his good side as much as possible if she wanted to survive.

Itachi

He stepped forward now focing himself between jesse and Viktor.Believe me boy you would rather leave this place now before you are killedHe said reaching up and over his shoulder his hand closing around the handle of his sword. If he hadn't thought this guy strong he might let sasuke fight him but he didn't think this guy was weak so he took charge.

Vincent moved to Jesse allowing him if needed to useh im as support.

Viktor Volkov

Viktor looked at Itachi, narrowing his eyes. "Your threat would be much more believable if there was somebody here who could kill me." He said arrogantly, though calmly. He could take Itachi down easily, he believed.

Jesse pushed Vincent away, moving so he could see Viktor.

Itachi

He glared and withdrew his sword.Oh shall we test that theory?He hissed.Just cuz i don't use guns don't mean i can't cut that pretty little head off your shoulders

Vincent growled.Geeze jesseHe growled.

Viktor Volkov

Viktor suddenly and without warning pulled his gun and fired at Itachi. "I'd like to see you try." He said darkly.

Itachi

He had been watching viktor's movements and had ducked just in time praying no one was directly behind him.He swung out with the sword aiming for the man's mid section.So I shallHe hissed.

Viktor Volkov

Viktor stepped aside just in time to avoid being sliced. "You want to play that way? Fine." He didn't dare bring out an assault rifle in a populated area, so stuck to his skills with the pistol. He fired off four bullets at Itachi.

Itachi

itachi watched the man carefully studing his every move.He dodged most bullets but the very last one struck his upper arm.He growled nd now ran toward viktor and swung twice once for his midsection and the other for a leg.

Viktor Volkov

Viktor felt the sword slice across his arm. He fired off three more bullets.

Kira, seeing her master in trouble, lunged at Itachi. The huge leopard attempted to sink her fangs into the enemy's flesh.

Itachi

He backflipped away from the leopard only to receive a bullet to his other arm.His lips twitch but he didn't give up.He did flips and shit and then ran at him against this time aiming for the legs and slicing upwards.

Sasuke seeing the leopard pulled his sword out and ran at it and sliced at it.

Fessura took out his pistol and aimed at the big cat as well firing for its legs.

Viktor Volkov

Viktor stepped aside, barely dodging the sword. He fired one bullet at Itachi's chest before reloading.

Kira felt the sword slice across her shoulder. Enraged, she lunged at Sasuke's neck.

Itachi

Itachi did a cartwheel and whiel the other reloaded he aimed to slice the others legs and or hands.

Sasuke glared at the cat and he would of been bit if Zabuza hadn't stepped in front.The cats fangs landed on his arm and he glared at it.with his free hand he pulled his sword out and slashed at the cats face and neck

Viktor Volkov; Kira

Viktor's wrists were barely sliced, but that didn't stop him. He fired at Itachi five times.

Kira thrashed her head, trying to tear Zabuza's flesh even as the sword sliced across her forehead.

Itachi

Itachi snarled as he dodged them but two skimmed his sides.Then he ran at him again and this time instead of slashing he made to stab the male.

Zabuza winced but didn't mind pain so now attempted to stab the leopard where ever he could.

Fessura fired his pistol at the cat getting fed up with the fighting.

Viktor Volkov; Kira

Viktor just barely missed being stabbed. The sword once again sliced across his arm. He was greatly outnumbered. He turned to Kira and whistled, then looked back at Itachi. "Don't think you're safe. Your time will come." He said, turning around and exiting the building. Kira followed.

Itachi

He snorted and glared.He then sheathed his sword.BasterdHe mumbled.Kakashi Call Hinata and Temari tell them that when we get back i'll need their assistance along with Zabuza.he spoke.Would you guys like to come to our placeHe spoke to jesse and his gang.

Zabuza's arm bled.He wripped some of the bandages off his neck and wrapped it around his arm.

Sasuke sheathed his sword and glared.Dude your not inviting fucker tard over to our place

Fess glared.Your the only fucktard fuck tardHe hissed.

Jesse Norse

Jesse shook his head. "No, I have to stay here. We're waiting for the Volkov girl." He replied.

Itachi

He nodded and then he and kakashi and zabuza left. While sasuke moved over to fessura and glared at him.You'll get whats coming to youHe snarled and moved away following his brother.

Fessura looked at sasuke with a blank stare and then laughed after him and shook his head.

Lisa

Lisa was watching all this going on with amusment.So it seemed they were teaming up.She put her hand over her mouth and laughed silently when the man threanted the other man.Her eyes narrowed as she watched.

Sarah layed down at her owners feet,but kept watch silently.

Jesse Norse

Jesse turned around and looked at Lisa. "Who are you?" He asked bluntly.

Lisa

Lisa looked up.She smiled innocently."Lisa,"she said.Her green eyes half narrowed and half not.She was half tauting him and half being seriuos.She wondered what his group was all about.She could twist them like silly putty if she wanted too.She just had to know their weak points.She was smiling amusedly insaide.A new toy she thought.

Fessura

He glared at the girl and snorted.You act so innocent when you are notHe growled

Lisa

Lisa narrowed her eyes."How would you know,"she asked innocently again.She was testing him like she did all her new "toys".Her dark green eyes were fully open and looked questiongly.

Sarah perked her ears and watched the others silently.

Jesse Norse

Jesse narrowed his eyes in suspicion. "What do you want?" He asked impatiently.

Lisa

Lisa smiled this time a real smile.Now heres the question she wanted to hear."Oh just a gang to join or so,"she said slyly.Her dark green emerald shaped eyes seemed to light up a bit.

Sarah sat up and watched eyes just as suscipious.

Jesse Norse

Jesse shook his head. "You're looking in the wrong place. My group doesn't let moles in." He replied calmly.

Lisa

Lisa looked around sarcasticly."I don't see no moles,"she said with an edge to her voice."Are you the leader of your group,and if so how long,"she asked curiously.She was hoping she hit a weak point.Although some people don't knowit when their in a weak point then their extremy vunerable.She was real good at finding people's weak points,but it might take awhile.

Fessura

I see a moleHe hissed glaring.His eyes narrowed.Stop acting like your all that you piece of shitHe growled

Jesse Norse

"Yeah, I'm the leader." Jesse replied dully. "I've been the leader ever since some freaks killed my old leader."

Lisa

Lisa ignored the man that first talked.She thought of her next saying very carefully."Would those freaks be the ATHA,"she asked with a sly smile.She might hit a weak point her.How she loved new games with her new "toys".

Sarah stood up and watched silently.She narrowed her eyes.

Fessura

He glared at her.Oh so you ignore me well that shows how respectful you are, That is no way to get yourself into a gangHe hissed

Jesse Norse

Jesse put his fist onto the table. "No, and it's none of your business." He replied spitefully.

Lisa

Lisa smiled."Last time i checked you weren't the leader,and i act the way i want,"she said smiling slyly.Oh how she loved these games.Then she looked at the second man."Oh temper temper,"she said tauntingly.

Sarah ears pricked when she heard the bang from the fist and table colliding.

Fessura

He snared.Doesn't matter, I have more authority here then you stillHe hissed.Jesse can i kill her?

Jesse Norse

Jesse looked at Fassura as if to say 'be my guest.'

Lisa

Lisa smiled slyly again.As soon as the first man said that she yanked out her gun in her right hand and long sword knife in her left hand.She narrowed her eyes challengingly.Her smile turned taughting.She was showing the real deal and he better back off.

Sarah's pelt started to bristle.The next move she do was growl then attack.

Fessura

He glared at her and had pulled his out quickly and then pulled a second out.I'm sorry sweet face but you no match for me so back offHe said cocking both guns

Jesse Norse

Jesse pulled out his own pistol. "Alright, why don't you just go back where you came from?" He asked impatiently.

Lisa

Lisa smiled slyly."I don't think so.I'm not stupid.I put these down and get killed,"she said.She turned her head to the other men keeping one eye on the first man."I'm afraid i can't,"she said.It was true she had left her old home and came to this quiet place.At least she had thought it quiet.

Fessura

Well you'll get killed either way i guess then, Then go find your own place and leave us the hell aloneHe hissed his pistols aimed one for the head the other for the chest.

Lisa

Lisa narrowed her eyes."Who saids i'm going to die?Why are you so against others?You have some problem with people,"she asked trying to hit some weak point silently.

Sarah growled silently warningly.

Jesse Norse

"Yeah, we just have a problem with people like you who bother us like some sort of freak show." Jesse replied, raising his pistol.

Fessura

Are you an idiot? You come in here thinking you can say oh can i join your gang and think that you automaticly get in let alone your acting like you own us and i don't take well to insolent fools like youHe snarled his hands tightening on his pistols

Lisa

Lisa against her own better judgment put away her knife and gun.She sat back down silently."I'll leave you alone,and i didn't say a specific gang,but take it as you like it,"she said calmly.Then she ordered a diet coke to the waiter.Then she waited for him to bring her one patiently not looking at the others.

Sarah stopped growling.

Jesse Norse

Jesse looked away, as if nothing had happened. Better to not give Lisa any attention, he thought.

Lisa

Lisa thanked the wraiter when he bought her drink.She took a sip silently ignoring the others.Her blade wasn't all the way in the sling and a bit shone brightly from the light in the cafe.She looked down at Sarah and stroke her dogs ears silently.

Sarah smiled up at her owner silently.

Fessura

He placed his weapons away and then leaned against he counter with his twin.now what jesse how long we waiting?

Lisa

Sarah whined to her master softly.She didn't like it here and it showed.

Lisa smiled at Sarah.She continued to stroke her dog's ears trying to cheer her up."I know girl.You missed your friends don't ya.I miss the freedom mob to,"she said to the dog.She didn't care if anyone heard her.The freedom mob was their old gang.Lisa and Sarah had been highly respected their,but now their in a new spot and have no respect.

Jesse Norse

Jesse seemed not to hear Lisa. Her words had no effect on him. He looked at Fessura. "Just a little while more, I hope." He replied.

Lisa

Lisa took a sip of her coke silently.Spotting a fly she took out a small knife in her pocket and threw it.It hit the table with a loud thunk,but it got the fly.Picking her gun back up she looked at Sarah with a smile on her face.

Sarah wagged her tail.

Jesse Norse

Jesse didn't even turn around to look at Lisa. Everyone in his fang could do what she just did, so it wasn't anything special to him.

Fessura

he listened and nodde

Lisa

Sarah layed back down.She perked her ears when she heard a beep.

Lisa pulled out a cell phone.A message flashed before her eyes.She closed it without txting back.She couldn't answer the question.It was from Jill the leader of the freedom mob.It had said why did you leave.Sighing Lisa took a sip of her coke silently.She head heard what Jesse and thothers were talking about,but she ignored them.

Jesse Norse; Maria Sokolov; Kirill

A gyrfalcon lighted on a table a good distance from the gang. He watched them intently, his eyes mostly on Maria.

Maria was the first to notice the bird. "That's Lark's bird." She said calmly, watching Kirill carefully.

Jesse turned around and looked at the bird of prey. "Good. Now we know that she'll be coming. Don't let that bird get back to wherever it came from." He said in reply.

Lisa

Lisa looked over at Jesse gang silently.Feeling sorry about earlier she got up silently.Her blond hair swinging at her shoulder.She walked over to them silent as a snake would.She guess that they see her before she spoke thought since they were staring at the bird,and she walked by it."I'm sorry about ealier i can have a short temper,"she said.Then not wanting to cause any more trouble with a conversation she padded back to her booth.Sitting down she took a sip of her coke.

Sarah just watched her owner silently.

Fessura & vincent, & Matt & Heidi

Fessura watched the bird.His eyes never leaving it

Vincent kept a look out

Jesse Norse

Jesse looked back at Lisa. "Alright." He said indifferently. It would take a while for Lisa to earn his trust and respect.

Maria stood up, grabbed Kirill and tied a rope around his wings and legs.

Lisa

She had heard his alright and nodded back.She watched silently as the woman Maria tied the bird togather from her booth.She took a sip of her coke.

Sarah whined at her.She was thirsty.

Lisa asked the waited for a bowl of water.She waited for him to bring it back.She was still wondered why they had tied up the bird,but said nothing knowing it wasn't her buisness.

Fessura

He watched the bird and then looked around

Angela Volkov

Angela was barely panting by the time she reached the Cafe. She didn't think that there was anything here that could hurt her. Besides, if anyone even looked at her funny, her brothers would make their lives a living hell. Too bad they weren't here right now.

She sat at one of the tables outside of the Cafe and waited for the others, not knowing that there was somebody here waiting for her cousin.

Lisa

Lisa looked up to see a girl come in.She looked away silently.She didn't know this girl or anything.She took another sip of coke.Silently she thanked the waiter for the bowl of water.Then gave it to Sarah petting the good dog.

Sarah drank the water silently.Then looked up at the girl.She watched her silently her dark green eyes critical.

Jesse Norse; Maria Sokolov; Angela Volkov

Jesse watched the 12-year-old suspiciously. He watched everyone suspiciously these days.

Maria had a plan. "Privet. Hi." She said to Angela.

Angela, quite surprised, watched Maria confusedly. "Uhhh...privet? Kto vy? Hi? Who are you?" She replied.

Maria nodded to the others. Jesse, Maria, Samuel and Rachel immediately move out and grabbed Angela. "Kto VY? Who are YOU?" Maria asked.

Angela looked at them fearfully. "Ia...Ia Angela Volkov." The girl said nervously.

Samuel turned to the others. "One of the Volkovs!" He exclaimed. By now, they were warming up to Lisa's presence. They wouldn't be too ticked if she came to help, either. They could use her sassiness in this case.

Fessura

Fessura and vincent stood up and watched the girl.

Matt just turned around to stare

heidi watched

Lisa

Lisa was watvhing the whole time.A sly smile came to her face.She could have some fun with this.She got up silently calling Sarah to come."Mind if i help a bit,"she asked.She didn't want to oppose.If they said yes than she turned to the girl and watched her silently."You like dogs,"she asked the girl glancing at Sarah.

Sarah seeing this look padded closer to the girl silently.She waited for a reaction.

Angela Volkov

Jesse looked at Lisa. "sure. Go ahead." He replied blankly.

Angela looked around at the group. She paused for a moment to think about what she should do in a situation like this.

Being a master liar, this new plan might just work. She would pretend not to understand English, thus making it harder for the English-speaking members of the gang to understand her.

She looked at Lisa with a sincerely confused face - it wasn't likely that they would be able to tell that she could understand them. "Ia ne mogu poniat' vas. I can't understand you." The girl said with the sincerity of somebody who was telling the truth.

Maria sighed. "She does not speak English." She said to the group.

Lisa

Lisa looked closely at the girl.She narowed her eyes."Are you sure she isn't pretending,"she asked Maria silently.

Sarah was right at the girl's feet.With a grin on her face she touched the girl's jeans with her paws.She was testing to see if the girl was scared of her or not.She had been taught to do this by Lisa.

Angela Volkov

Maria looked at Lisa. "Don't question me." She said in a deathly tone. If Lisa kept this up, she'd wear out her welcome.

Angela looked down at the dog, unaffected by her touch. She had grown up with a large pack of dogs, so why should she be afraid of them?

Maria leaned down to the girl's height. "Gde Lark Volkov? Where is Lark Volkov?" She asked.

Angela frowned and narrowed her eyes. "Dazhe esli vy ia khotel vy skazat' vam, ia ne vprave skazat'. Even if I wanted to tell you, I'm not at liberty to say." She said boldly and defiantly.

Maria had to practice great self control to keep herself from hitting this girl. How dare a little girl sass Maria Sokolov! She looked at Jesse. "She says she doesn't want to tell me." She informed. "She says she can't tell me."

Lisa

Lisa simply nodded her head to Maria.Then she turned and watched as they spoke in a language she didn't understand.Then Maria translated in english.She thought for a second silently.She flicked her hand silently saying she wanted to try something.She thought the girl was lying about not being able to speak english.So she didn't want the girl know she was fixen to trick her.She waited silently for an answer.

Sarah narrowed her eyes,but returned to Lisa's feet silently.

Angela Volkov

Maria nodded to Lisa, allowing her to try whatever she wanted to try.

Angela looked at Lisa skeptically. Nothing would crack her, she thought.

Lisa

Lisa kneeled to the girls level.She smiled at the young girl."I'm sorry if we frieghtened you.We just heard that someone was going to hurt Lark Volkov,and we just want to help.If you can just tell us where she is we'll help her,and you can too,"she said smiling sweetly.Her eyes showed no hint of her emotion except kindness.

Angela Volkov

Did Lisa really expect Angela to believe her? They grabbed her, interrogated her, and one of those who was questioning her was one who she knew to want Lark dead. It was true; Maria had tried to kill Lark several times, and Angela had witnessed it once or twice. "Chto ei skazat'? What is she saying?" She asked Maria.

"Um...kuchu musor. Ona nova. Um...a bunch of junk. She's new." Believing that the girl didn't know English, she thought that she wouldn't have heard what Lisa said. Lisa's attempt at calling Angela's bluff may just kill their entire mission.

Lisa

Lisa seen this wasn't working.Silently she stood back to her regular height and backed up.Lisa thought for a few seconds silently.She have to watch to find something out.She didn't know nothing so far so she have to learn a bit before hitting a weak point.

Sarah walked back to the girl silently.She wouldn't attck,but did the girl know that?She circled the girl silently making it look like she was about to attck soon,but she wouldn't unless Lisa ordered her too.If this didn't work then she went back to Lisa.

Maria Sokolov

Maria had learned from experience that the Volkov family was a force to be reckoned with. They were strong and very intelligent. Even Angela was stronger than she appeared, both psychologically and physically. She looked back at Jesse. "Lark will come looking for the girl. Let's hope that the brothers don't come." She said to her leader.

Lisa

Lisa halfy listened to what Maria said as the other half of her thought.Something to break this girl down.Then again she didn't speek english or pretended very good not too.She waited silently wondering if she be given an order or just left alone.

Fessura

He listened and watched. His lip twitched.Lisa he didn't like her he didn't like new commers.

Vincent sighed.

Lisa

Lisa felt uncomfortable around the others.She knew how they seen her.A newcommer thats unworthy so far.Ignore her and maybe she'll leave she thought.I'll just have to fight and show i'm worthy she thought.It was like they thought

An unnoticed idnetify clouded,
restless beneath your feet,
sorrow life years buried in dirt,
billions of cares unforgiven.
Scar a lifeline on granite stone
living wasted nothings
Those unspoken distant calls repel,
dying seeds of hateful notes
Use nitrous pins to expose
this evil flesh inside
revealing impure fragile wings
that can't ever be hidden
Yourself seen towards judgment
flow an ocean of tears seeping
downwards to Hell.

Jesse Norse; Lark Volkov; Sergei Novokov; Others

Jesse kept his grip on Angela, not letting her go. Unknown to him, she didn't come alone. Her adoptive brother's biological brother was very near, and, in fact, coming nearer as he searched for the girl.

Sergei rode on a black and white pinto horse. He stopped a short distance from the Cafe, looking around for Angela. He knew how dear this little girl was to his brother, Dimitri. He tied Niko up and approached the gang. "Get your hands off of the girl." He demanded. His tone said that he was serious. He wasn't playing.

"Who the hell are you?" Jesse asked, tightening his grip on Angela's arm. Angela tried to pull away. "Let go of me, you freak!" It didn't occur to her until after she said it that she had spoken English. The secret was out.

Sergei raised his rifle and aimed it at Jesse. "I'm Sergei Novokov and if you don't let go of that little girl right now, you're going to wish you never had arms to restrain her with." He threated.

And who should arrive but Dimitri and Lark, just before Jesse had time to reply. They had passed Mikhail up in their eagerness to find out what Angela was up to and if she was alright. Dimitri was in a rage when he saw his little sister being held captive by the gang. "Lark, give me a gun." He demanded. As much as Lark wanted to give her cousin a gun, she knew that in his state, that might be a bad choice. "I'm sorry, Dima. I can't do that." She replied quietly as she moved in on the group. Dimitri grumbled and followed. They had to use caution with this encounter.

Maria stepped up behind Lark and held a pistol to her head. "Ne dvigat'sia. Don't move." She said coldly.

Lark felt like she had no choice but to obey. Dimitri stood still as well, but watched the gang intently.

"Hand over the girl." Sergei said bluntly. Jesse grinned. "And what will you give me in return?" He asked. Sergei narrowed his eyes. "Nothing. I'll take something from you if you don't give me the girl." Still, Jesse didn't budge. Sergei had no choice now. He fired a bullet into Rachel's leg, who was standing beside Jesse.

Jesse, a bit startled by this, subconsciously released Angela, who ran to Sergei.

Samuel whipped his pistol out and shot Angela in the abdomen with no warning whatsoever. "There. Now we're even." He said icily.

Angela fell to the ground, curled up into a ball. She screamed and cried in pain.

Dimitri couldn't take this anymore. Suddenly, he grabbed the pistol from Lark's holster and fired three bullets into Samuel's chest. "Don't touch my sister!" He snapped.

Samuel fell down, dead. Maria was taken aback by all of this, giving Lark time to fight back. Lark turned around, grabbed Maria's arm and pushed her to the ground, taking the pistol from her hand.

Sergei looked at Jesse. "Take your gang and run before you get what your friend got." He then picked Angela up and carried her to Niko, putting her onto the horse's back. He walked to where Dimitri and Lark stood. "I'll take Angela to the Hospital. Just...don't move." With that, he jumped onto his horse's back and rode away.

Jesse had underestimated the power of this group. He turned to his gang. "We have to retreat. They're too strong. We have one lost, one injured." He grabbed Rachel's arm and fled. Maria followed.

One the gang was gone, Lark and Dimitri moved to a table and sat down. The whole event had played out very fast, leaving little time for bystanders to react.

Fessura

Fessura and his twin had pulled their guns out but before they could react all of that just happened.He glared at them his lip twitching.He wasn't one for leaving even a dead member behind and so picked samuel up and followed.

Lisa

Lisa grabbed out her knife and gun fastly,but their was litle she could do.She watched silently as the others left.Having no reason to follow shew went a different way.However she had no doubt she run into them againj.Aftewr all it was a small town.She left a check for the coke and water.

The dog followed silently.She had jumped up beside them when the fight was going on,but did nothing cause her owner gave no command.
