"As soon as he has something to report, and no sooner," Gabriel answered. "That's his job."
"And what if he's caught?" Amelia asked.
"Then he's lost his touch."

Angelian nods a bit and moves her wings a little. "I know there have always been hunters....but how is it humans are now wanting to attack? What set them off?"

"The hunters are those choice few who know of our existence, and our weaknesses, and where to find us, and all of that," explained Gabriel.
"Humanity as a whole sees vampirism and everything connected as legend, fiction," continued Amelia. "Or they did, until now. Apparently now they've discovered us. Humans have always feared what they can't understand, especially when it contains great power. Just wait until they meet me- The so-called Blessed. In any case, they dont trust us, so they want to kill us."

She shakes her head a bit. "But why now...they've had these legends for centuries...why now? Why go on the attack now?" She looks to the ceiling. "Something triggered them to go on the attack...something got them to want to do this..."

"You may be right," Amelia agreed. "God, I hope not. If so, we probably have a bigger enemy. But they always thought this was legend. Superstition. Nothing worth checking out. You can't wage war on something that doesn't exist. They found us, realized it was true, and changed tactics. If there's anyone behind it, all they would've needed to do is give an anomynous tip to check out our coordinates, and everything would go from there."
"If there's anyone behind it, my spy will find them," Gabriel said.
"Uh-uh," came a voice, and an American man, maybe mid to late twenties, approached from behind. "Gabriel, you truly are out of touch with the world. When dear Amelia says anomynous, she means it seriously."
Amelia looked shocked. "Jax?"

Angelian tenses at the arrival of the stranger and moves to her feet. She arches a brow at Amelia's reaction and that she called the male by name. "Who is he?"

"He's my spy," Gabriel said slowly. "That was fast, Jackson. You two know each other? Why'd she call you Jax?"
"'Course we know each other. Amelia and have been.... close. That's why she calls me Jax."
"Then how come, through all our contracts, I still thought she was dead?"
Amelia looked uncomfortable, but answered for him. "He kept my secret, like I asked him to."
"I keep my promises," he agreed. "I did try to tell her to reveal herself, though. Good to see she has." He smiled to her, and Gabriel looked like he was starting to realize what Jackson had meant by 'close.'

Angelian arches a brow as she looks from Jackson to Amelia. She then smirks knowingly. "Interesting." She smiles again and shakes her head. "Any news?" As she tries to get serious again.

"Straight to the point? Very good." Jackson nodded. "I have all the details, in this envelope. He pulled it out. "Time. Place. Layout. Guards." He scowled at Gabriel. "Our longstanding arrangement is a good one, Gabriel, that's why I did this. But I'm not happy about it. Like I said, I hate to turn on my employers. And we have an arrangement, but my true job will always be with the US government. Don't ask me to work against them again, please."
"You could stay with us," Amelia told him suddenly. "Become a part of the vampire community. Be with your own kind."
He smiled gently. "I'd love to, 'Melia, I really would. But my own kind is Americans. I have a good life there. Hopefully soon we can be together again, but my nation needs me." He turned back to Gabriel again, all business. "The rest of my payment."
Gabriel handed him a briefcase, which Jackson opened and, satisfied, closed again, handing Gabriel the envelope.
"You're certain more money couldn't do?" Gabriel looked concerned.
"No, Gabriel," Jackson shook his head. "This will conclude our deal. I'll see all of you soon, I'm sure- And I really hope it's as allies, not enemies."

Angelian nods a bit. "That is the hope. There are too many enemies in this world as it is." She nods to Jackson. "Safe travel."
She looks to Gabriel, "what are the details?"

He read over the paper. "Two days from now. That's short notice.... They must be worried, trying to act quick. Their main headquarters, in New York. Easy enough to get close to. Oh wow.... Now, that is some tight security."

Angelian tilts her head a bit. "How tight?" She asks carefully. Depending on what was in place for security, they may have to change up who goes and who stays behind.

"Well, naturally there's the guards- FBI, CIA, Secret Service- I don't know what these are, but they sound bad."
"Yeah, that's bad," Amelia grabbed the papers and read over the list. "Very highly trained, very armed, very dangerous organizations. And there are more of them, too. And a lot of all them, strategically placed so that no ground is ever left uncovered. And electronic locks, fingerprints, retinal scans.... Not just anyone is getting in there."

She nods slightly, thinking quietly. "Then we get invited in?" She shakes her head. " not sure how that would work though, they would rather kill us first."

“You guys cause a diversion, get the guards away from the front door. I’ll see if I can work my magic.” Amelia looked between the two. “Sound fair?”

Angelian considers the idea of the plan for a moment. Then nods slightly. "That may work." She looks to Gabriel. "What do you think?"

He nodded. "If anyone cn do it, you can, Amelia. We'll take care of the guards. And we'll leave them alive, too, of course."

"Now about Jackson...." began Gabriel, and Amelia groaned.
"Okay, first of all, I'm older than you, Gabe, so you can't play the protective older brother."

Angelian sat back and smirked a bit. "Oh but he's going to make up for lost time by doing just that." She says.

She stood and left.

Gabriel chuckled. "You think I'm going big brother? Wait until you tell Luci. But we should tell them about the envelope."

She moves to her feet as well and goes to follow. She pauses though and looks around. Why did she feel so uneasy suddenly? Pushing the feeling aside she goes in search of Lucifer.

The rest of the company waited in a living room, talking, when they arrived.
"Hey," greeted Lucifer. "So Jackson was your spy, huh? I saw him enter. Good choice."

She arches a brow as she looks to him when he spoke those words. "Oh so you like him?" She asks curiously,smiling a bit.

"I hired him a couple times, way back in the day. He's good at what he does." He raised his eyebrows at her. "Why? What's with that tone?"

Angelian smirks a bit and shrugs. Should she tell him? She began to wonder if it would only upset him if she did."nothing to be worried over. Is all."
