Looking for answers {Ariel}

She was with a client. He was proposing business strategies to further expand Hart Enterprises' special projects division, which she was in control of. He had suggested some species of demons to populate nearby Los Angeles. It was a nice idea, as it would allow her some powerful demons to take out the Brothers Trinity if everyone else she had enlisted had failed to do so, which unfortunately seemed likely. She really didn't know why she put faith in people so easily, when all they did was fail her and this enterprise. She offered them amazing terms and conditions, yet they still managed to screw it up in some way.

Speaking of putting faith in people, she was started for a second as she heard the doors barge open, with the man she remembered as Thayer charging in and asking her to exlain herself. She glanced over at her guest awkwardly, before speaking. "I apologise Mr Barnes, could you give me a second? There will be a man waiting in the foyer outside to further discuss our objectives, as I'm sure they'll fall right into your ideas." She smiled as she shook the hand of the man and eyed him silented as he walked out of the door, closing the door behind him. She then shot a glance at Thayer, not looking very pleased at all. "You could start by explaining how you managed to reach this floor, let alone know where my office is. But I think I know the answer to that. You could then continue on by explaining why I see no bodies in bags waiting at the door for us? You successfully infiltrate our offices with your powers, but you cannot use your powers to take out the Trinity Brothers? Just knock them out, all we asked of you Thayer. Nothing more. I did have so much hope in you, you disappoint me."

She sighed softly, walking around her desk and fiddling with her pen. "If you think by me explaining whatever it is I am meant to be explaining to you is going to solve your soon to be problems, you are sadly mistaken. You see, failing to do the task we assigned to you is one thing, but criminal actions like tresspass without permission are things we just take very seriously around here. You've been a naughty boy Thayer, and you know what happens to naughty boys, don't you? People suffer." She continued to glance over at the man, a confident smile placed on her face. "I am curious though, what exactly am I meant to be explaining to you? I thought I was clear in my instructions for your task, did you need a step by step manual as well, or something?"

She smirked evily at Thayer's comments. Perhaps she had underestimated the boy after all. Perhaps he had something about him that was more than just his power. He wasn't just that street begger she thought he was, there was something about him which she found admirable, and useful. He could be a bigger asset to Hart Enterprises than ever imagined, she'd have to discuss this with Selena, because they may have found their hidden weapon to use on the Trinity Brothers. Only time would tell, though, if he could live up the the hype. After all, he had already failed them once. What gives, that it couldn't happen just as easily again?

"Arrest you? No, no, no, boy. You really have us all wrong, there are more appropriate ways to punish someone than arresting them. It seems you are also underestimating the bargaining power this corporation has. You actually believe anyone is going to take the word of a boy pulled off the street, over a billion dollar corporation? You see, no matter which side is deemed innocent, we still win in the end because we have assets and resources you couldn't even imagine. There is nothing we don't control in Los Angeles, and maybe in good time, you will realize this and come to appreciate it." He smiled confidently, the image of the receptionist in her mind. She would have to be executed for her failures today, even if she was under Thayer's thrall, there was no discussions about it. It was rather sad, though, as she had nice hair. Oh well, that could easily be replaced, she thought.

Her grin remained as Thayer finally expressed his frustrations. "Oh? I didn't mention that? I'm sorry Thayer, how could I ever have let that slip? I must have...Just assumed that you would have been able to handle them, you know...Under the circumstances. I mean, with everything you had on the line going into this..." He grinned more evily now, reminding Thayer of the deal they had, the agreement he had actually signed in blood going into this. She sighed softly. "But, as I guess such a minor detail did change the outlook of your task, I guess we can extend your contract a bit longer, you know, keeping your parents alive despite your failure. I can be a nice person Thayer, when you learn to trust and work with me." She could give Thayer one more chance. After all, what was there to lose from doing so? The boy got close, he might actually get closer, who knows?

She smirked, an idea coming to her head. "I unfortunately cannot tell you anything further about the Trinity Brothers, but perhaps you can redeem yourself by undertaking another task. There is a third brother, his name is Axel Evans. He is...The youngest and weakest of the three because he has no active powers from what we can assume. He also is the least experienced, only finding out about his destiny not long ago. He would be an easy target to capture, with you then able to lure the other brothers in as a result." She did always enjoy a good baiting exercise.
