Chris glanced down at the small screen between the handlebars of his bike, it linked directly to a sattelite which picked up signals from beacons belonging to every agent, at the moment it was dead, showing only a map of the area. he looked up from it, he was parked in the middle of the graveyard, nothing was stirring, a statue at a nearby grave seemed to catch his eye every now and again.
All of a sudden, the screen lit up, a blue dot appearing for a second before it was gone again, he sighed inwardly, the two agents that were lost were the only ones he had made friends with during training, even though they were a little strange, he wondered if it was just his equipment that was malfunctioning, or wether theirs wasn't giving out a proper signal. this had been his second directive, find out the status of the lost agents, the order did not believe they were dead, signals kept appearing randomly but reports had dried up a long time ago, chris believed they were currently regrouping after their last report of their headquarters being under siege.
THOMSON & JOHNSON
through the darkness of the graveyard the agents were stalking, they had been observing the movements of a demon over the past few days and he seemed to take regular trips through here, probably heading out for food. As they crept along opposite edges of the graveyard they sensed a new human mind in the area, it seemed familiar. Silently they converged to one side, avoiding the centre for fear of blowing their cover.
when they reached each other they did not speak, this was not unusual, with their minds interlocked they knew already what the other was thinking, slowly they headed towards the centre where the signals were coming from, all the time wary as the signal from the demon was also present in the vincinity. as the figure on the bike came into view they stopped, knowing instantly who it was "its him, he's here" their voices came out low so that only they could hear, they walked forward a few paces "we've been expecting you" they said in their dull, emotionless tone
CHRIS
Their voices floated loudly through the still air of the graveyard, Chris turned to where it had come from, he could see the two figures standing a few feet away. "I am surprised I did not hear you" he smiled slowly "you have not lost your touch", with that he walked over to them, they now were more relaxed, their stance not so rigid.
Johnson stepped forward to meet him, he held out his hand "it has been a long time my friend" he spoke alone, Chris took his hand and shook it, putting his other hand on Johnson's shoulder "too long" he said his voice showing signs of feeling.
Thompson stepped forward now and shook Chris' hand, he did not need to speak, Chris knew that Johnson had spoken for the both of them "what news of our brethren back home?" he asked withdrawing his hand to rest it on the hilt of his sword which poked out from under his coat
THOMSON & JOHNSON
The crack of a twig in the distance caused the agents to turn round sharply, they had not sensed the demon they were tracking yet, johnson turned back to Chris "we should split up, it would not be wise if the demons of this town find out we are still alive and regrouping" his eyes showed a sense of urgency.
not too long ago, they had patrolled the streets openly, going to places frequented by the demonic and vampirical powers of the town in order to restore the ballance of good and evil, working from a headquarters in town which was marked with the orders symbol over the door. However Angellus had not taken too kindly to their actions and attempt to bring down the slave pens and had sent out a pack of his minions to deal with them, the battle had been short, the agents soon realising that they were heavily outnumbered so they abandoned the building and fled into the darkness leaving thier HQ to be ransacked.
Thompson had now drawn his sword, and was in a fighting stance, johnson looked back towards where the movement had come from "you must not act yet" he whispered loudly reaching into his poacket and pulling out a folded piece of paper "this has all the information you need, meet us here, and make sure you come alone" with that they slunk off into the darkness leaving him standing there, moments later a the sound of slashing could be heard, coupled with a demonic howl.
