Looking for answers {Ariel}

[Thayer Jaime Gallager-Hart]

Thayer walks through the door of Hart enterprises as the slides close behind him. Thayer walks towards the receptionist as he leans onto the counter and he begins to speak. “Hey beautiful, I’m looking for someone”. The receptionist turns and looks at him as she smiles and asks who he is looking for. Thayer takes this opportunity to quickly reach towards her hand and slowly glides his finger up and down her arm. Before she could notice how weird it was, she was practically under his incubus control. He slowly makes his way up to her arm as he continues to glide his hand up and down, looking deep into her eyes.

He smirks a little, liking the feel of having power over someone. He then continues to control her. “I’m looking for Ms. Ariel Dawson, I was wondering, where is her office? Just to pay a little visit” The girl smiled as she is hormonally charged, ready to jump on Thayer to do things you couldn’t even imagine. But Thayer knew how to control her urges. She told him that Ms. Dawson’s office was on the 66th floor of the huge building. The receptionist smiled as she leaned forward to kiss Thayer. While he held her back. “Easy darling, not yet”. Thayer looked around to see if anyone was around. Everyone seemed to busy with themselves to even care.

Thayer then wondered if her boss was there as well “Is Ms. Hart in?” The receptionist shaked her head telling him she never seen her come or out of the office, that she was a mysterious but very powerful woman in the business world. “Thank you sweet cheeks, I’ll be heading off now”. Thayer removed his hand from the receptionists shoulder as she slowly regain her own control and was scratching her head as to what happened as she doesn’t remember much what happened in the last few minutes.

Thayer stepped into the elevator as he pressed the 66th floor as the elevator went up. A few casual people came in and out around the 40th floor as well as the 55th floor. His heart was pounding. He was going to face this woman head on. She kept secrets from him about those Evan’s guys that almost got him killed so she has to explain herself. The elevator was on the 66th floor as the door slid open and he walked out into a long hallway with one door at the end. That must have been her office he thought to himself. He stood at the door for about 3 minutes before barging in and yelling “Ariel you have some explaining to do!”

[Ariel Charlotte Dawson]

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?"

[Thayer Jaime Gallager-Hart]

Thayer was a bit shocked to find Ariel with a client, didn’t expect that. Regardless as soon as the client was out of the door. Ariel began making threats and wondering why he couldn’t catch the trinity brothers. Well he was there for that exact same reason. As Ariel made her way behind her desk. Thayer made his way towards the chair across her desk as he sat down, leaned back and got comfortable and crossed his legs as he smirked a little, not being fazed by her threats. “So you are going to arrest me or something for trespassing? Of course they will wonder what a guy of my good looks is doing with a woman of your standards.”

Thayer leaned back in the cockiest manner ever as he crossed his arms and got even more comfortable. “Then I’ll just say, your receptionist let me up and that you were paying for my “services” and we’ll let them interpret that whichever way they want to”. Thayer tilted his head sideways as he sucked his teeth and then uncrossed his legs and leaned forward, trying to seem threatening. “But I won’t do that because you have answers for me”

“These trinity brothers, you managed to give me every detail about them. Except for ONE TINY detail, they have powers. And because I could have been one of the bodies in bags out there.”Thayer pointed at the door as he was a bit furious. Thayer once again leaned back as he crossed his arms and looked at Ariel. “So now, you are going to explain to me what these trinity brothers are, why they are so important….so I can go get rid of them”. Thayer looked at Ariel, awaiting her explanation. Thayer wasn’t kind, he felt this evil in him, something he has never felt before. Ever since his encounter with that with Everett he hasn’t been nice as he used to be.

[Ariel Charlotte Dawson]

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.

[Thayer Jaime Gallager-Hart]

Thayer just sat there, hearing this woman go on and on about how much power, this enterprise has in Los Angeles. He wondered how much, were they keeping track of other demons? Was that how they found his parents? He really wondered but, hey what they did on their free time was not his problem. His problem was getting the Trinity Brothers. He just looked on, not really caring about her blabbering to be honest. Blah blah, they controlled LA, big woop, he could use his ability to get by regardless. So whatever they did, was not his problem. Then she finally spoke of the Trinity Brothers. What he’s been waiting for all this time.

“Second chance? You really are deluded woman. I almost get myself killed and you say you are giving me a second chance? That’s the best you can come up with. You better have more insight on these guys, I’m not about to have myself killed for no reason”. Then she went on to say she can’t say much about the Trinity Brothers, big woep, then why did he waste his time coming here, but then she made mention of a name, Axel, he’s heard this name before. On Campus, he probably had English or something with this guy, he was sure though, the guy went to the university he was going to. He didn’t seem that threatening either.

“Axel huh? I think I know who he is. I’m pretty sure I could handle him. Well thank you for making nothing clear to me, I continue to question your usefulness but hey, I’m not the one paying you”. But Thayer put on a very serious face, like he had one more serious task at hand. He looked up at Ariel, dead serious look on his face. “I also have this serious matter to attend as well. Your receptionist right…she’s single right? After my little tango with Everett, I’m still a bit hungry”. Thayer smirked a bit, feeling full of himself, he didn’t know what it was, but something about this place gave him this boost of confidence, this tiny evil feeling inside him, took over whenever he was near the Hart Enterprises Building.

She stared at the man as he continued his whining about nearly dying. Why was he so persistent on the whining, she thought to herself briefly. Most kids these days couldn't give a stuff if they got hit by a bus or overdosed on drugs, and this guy was scared of what some good brothers could do to him? If he is scared of anything, it should be of what she will do to him if he doesn't shut up and just does the task assigned to him. "Well, I'm sorry to inform you, but if you don't perform this task you will be killed with reason right here in this office. And I guarantee you it will be a quick death, however the pain would be immense, I suspect." She enjoyed killing people in offices, as long as the blood didn't splatter too much. She hadn't actually killed anyone in her office, hence the nice decor, and didn't plan to anytime soon unless the cleaners marched in soon after. But outside the office, that was another story altogether.

"You're wrong there, Thayer. You are paying me, with your blood. The blood you used to sign in that contract we supplied you with? See, if you continue to fail us, it won't be your head getting sliced off, but that of your family. You don't want that, now do you? I'd hate them to suffer a painful death because of your miscalculations." Hopefully this task would be easier, and could actually provide for the same end results if Thayer played this successfully. Axel was new to this world and therefore didn't understand everything, making him an easy target for Thayer, which could then draw the brothers in. Although they managed to squirm Axel out of their clutches last time, they wouldn't make similar mistakes again.

She smirked slightly at his final comment. "If I was you, I'd save my strength for Axel. I must say though, it is easier to break into Hart Enterprises than it is to actually escape. You better hurry, we already have security analysing the security data. I'd hate you to die before you even got to begin your new task, especially when your death results in the death of your family, too. Such a shame?" She smirked as she walked back behind her desk and sat down, eyeing her work again.
