"I never said I wanted to be faster and stronger," Lucas said as he fell on his bottom to try avoid the spit. He then squatted again. "I already am! And there's nothing I can do about it. Hell, I would've outrun you earlier if you hadn't used that damn grappling hook!" He then stood again. "And tell me how I'm the human equivalent of a parasite. I've never killed a human before, and neither have my sisters." Self defense was a different story. "...So you think you're better than everyone because you've upgraded yourself? That's the same mentality that got that damn law passed."

"Parasites don't always need to kill their host," Alex remarked. "Bloodsuckers feed off of normal people at their expense. But plenty of your kind have killed humans for their blood anyway. Hell, I can name a few that have killed hundreds of people for religious rituals and other crazy reasons." Oh, what Alex wouldn't give to break through Lucas' face with his fist right now.

Lucas glared at Alex, assuming the officer was severely underestimating how strong bloodlust could be and how likely it was that a vampire wouldn't kill a human during feeding. "Did you ever think that not everyone is like that?" He finally asked. "That not everyone is driven by bloodlust and that there are some who respect human life! That there are some who don't deserve to be treated like [shoot]! Can't you get that through your damn head?"

Alex looked up at Lucas again with a smile of amusement. "That's what they all say. But truly, you never know who's lying and who's not. It's safer to cut your kind off like the cancer it is before all of humanity is threatened." Attempting to take him by surprise, he kicked out with his leg at full power, aiming for Lucas' shin.

"And that's a load of bull - [expletive]!" Lucas was taken by surprise with Alex's kick, and he nearly lost his balance. Despite the pain from his now throbbing shin, he raised the gun and aimed at where Alex's heart was before firing. After taking the shot, he sat on the ground and rolled up his pant leg to see if there was any sign of the kick on his leg. He swore again, and his sisters came over to him. "They all may say that," Rebecca began softly. "But only some of them mean it. He means it. He's never done anything to deserve this treatment. None of us have. We're all treated the same despite have different morals, but that would be unthinkable to do with humans. I'd be ridiculed for saying all humans are murderers just because a few are, but it's okay for every human to assume that, and worse, about vampires."

Alex cried out in pain when the bullet struck him in the chest. Luckily for him, however, the bullet hit a non-fatal portion of his artificial heart, but that didn't stop it from hurting like hell. After a few moments of gasping for breath and attempting to ignore the pain, he spoke again. "Look, I don't know what you want me to do about it," Alex replied, trying to hide the fact he was starting to have second thoughts on the law.

"Change your attitude about vampires," Lucas said, keeping his attention on his leg as he attempted to get a good look at it in the moonlight. "Get a new job - one that doesn't involve hunting people like animals when they don't deserve it. Find some way to help people like us." He gently touched his shin and immediately winced, but that didn't stop him from trying to stand. His sisters had to help him to his feet, and he was putting most of his weight on his good leg. "But we need to keep going," he finally said. "We're too close to town for me to feel comfortable." There was the fact that he probably needed ice for his injured shin, but he wasn't about to admit to needing it.

There was the fact that he probably needed ice for his injured shin, but he wasn't about to admit to needing it. "Well...you'd have to make it worth my while, but there is something I can do other than changing jobs." He struggled to sit up after his statement. "I'm a high rank with the authorities. I can unravel their operations and structure, causing them to collapse and possibly making life better for vampires in the process." Alex wasn't sure if he mentioned the idea to help others, or for his own gain. Possibly both.

"And how the hell am I going to make it worth your while?" Lucas mumbled. He then listened to Alex, not completely convinced that he could do what he claimed despite the potential for his and his sisters' loves to be better. "As nice as that sounds, I'm not sure how feasible that is," he said. "This law somehow got passed, and I don't think the system is as changeable as you claim it is."

"I never said I'd change the system. I said I'd destroy it." Alex knew that in reality it would probably just cause anarchy, but he just wanted an excuse to cause it. Maybe the vampires did something to his head, or maybe he's been like this all along. Either way all he wants to do now is cause chaos. He had a slightly crazy look in his eyes as he spoke. "I'll turn it all to ash and your kind can build it up again. What do you say?"

Damn, that - destroying the system and rebuilding it so that he didn't have to feel like a criminal- sounded good to Lucas. One of his sisters rested a hand on his arm, almost bringing his back to reality. "Lucas," she said softly. "Is that what you really want? To completely destroy something?" "Well, whatever's going on sure as hell isn't working for us," he said, almost harshly. "And I can't live my entire life feeling like I'm a criminal even though I've done nothing wrong."
(I can see this deal going horribly wrong for someone xD)

"So what do you say?" Alex said while grinning. "Do we have a deal?" He knew that before anything he'd have to get his systems repaired- this would be a lot easier if both his arms were working. And after he started he wouldn't exactly be able to stay at the base; he'd need a place to lie low.

Lucas glanced back at his sisters, almost thinking over what one of them had said. "Screw it," he mumbled to himself, deciding against what she had said. "We have a deal." He didn't look back to see his sister's reactions, knowing they were more than likely disappointed in the decision he just made.

"Wonderful. Now do me a favor and uncuff me so I can do my job." Alex fidgeted in anticipation of his new task. Then he remembered the bullet hole in his chest and made a mental note to get that fixed up as well. "And, uh, I'd like my revolver back please."
|

Post by Misty on Dec 29, 2016 15:37:59 GMT -5
Lucas nodded once at his request to be uncuffed. He pulled the handcuff key out and moved behind Alex to let him free. At the request of getting his revolver back, he was hesitant to answer. "Hmmm," he said, wanting to keep it as security in case Alex decided to try something despite making the deal.

Alex stretched his arms, finally free of those damned handcuffs. After he noticed that Lucas hadn't handed his revolver back to him, he held out his hand. "Come on, if I still wanted to kill you, I would've tried to by now." Besides, he will probably need it for infiltrating the base.

Lucas gently bit his lower lip, still uneasy about handing the revolver over to Alex. He wasn't entirely reassured by his statement, but he did have a point. "Fine," he finally said as he handed it over, hoping this decision wouldn't come back to bite him in the butt.

Alex spun the revolver fancily in his hand, only for the machinery to malfunction and lock up again, making the revolver drop to the ground like a stone. Hiding his embarrassment, he picked it back up with his good hand and slid it into his holster. "Alright then. I'll go get myself fixed up, and then I'll get to work. I'll need a place to use as a base of operations though, so I have a new place to stay and an easy way to contact you. Any ideas?"

"Do you really think I have any idea of a place to stay?" Lucas questioned, raising an eyebrow. "Everything I own is in my [flipping] backpack, and I'm pretty sure I look like hell. So the answer is no." He pushed a hand through his hair and stood (because I don't think he did after being kicked in the shin). His shin was no longer throbbing, though he was sure it would hurt if he touched it. "Look, we need to figure something out because I don't have the luxury of having a cell phone or a place to live."
