The next morning, Mara went about her daily routine, running, training and then the briefing. It had just started and Mara already felt uneasy about their plan
"What exactly are we looking for? How do you tell if they're rogue?" Mara asked as she followed Kylie down the hall to the briefing
"We don't" Kylie said blunt but enthusiastically
"Seriously?" Mara asked with a tint of sarcasm in her voice and a raised eyebrow
"Yeah, we find out when they stop partying. Didn't your dad teach you any of this?" Kylie asked and Mara rolled her eyes
"No, he didn't teach me a lot about the Bottom Realm or what's in it" she replied honestly and Kylie sighed
"Your father, Jonathan Victor Remington, one of the greatest Twilight Hunters in history didn't teach you about the Bottom Realm, I wonder why that's hard to believe" Kylie said sarcastically
"Haha" Mara faked a laugh as they walked to the centre as Kylie laughed at her
"What's so funny?" Ollie asked with crossed arms
"Mara said she doesn't know a lot about the Bottom Realm" Kylie informed
"That's impossible, her father is Jonathan Remington" Ollie said and Mara rolled her eyes
"Make fun of me all you want but it's true" Mara said
"What's true?" Jason asked from beside Mara causing her to jump
"Jesus, where are you people coming from?" she asked causing the others to look at her weirdly
"What's true?" Jason asked ignoring her
"Apparently, Jonathan Remington never taught his daughter about the Bottom Realm" Ollie said trying to hold in his laugh
"I'll believe that" Jason said as he walked toward a computer
"Wait what?" Kylie said in surprise as she followed him
"It makes sense, the man left and probably didn't want his daughter knowing about the dangers of the Bottom Realm" Jason said as she stood next to them
"First, in your face suckers and second, I wouldn't go that far" Mara said, they all looked at her in curiosity
"What do you mean?" Jason asked and Mara cleared her throat as she sat on the table in the middle of the room
"Wonderful, I just love story time. Have a seat kids, you're gonna love this" Mara taunted with a smile
"Get to the point!" They exclaimed in unison
"Okay, Alright. My father used to take me to New York all the time, it was fun but he never spoke of the Omens. Don't know why, but he never did" Mara said
"How many times have you been to New York?" Kylie questioned and Mara huffed and bit her lip in thought
"That depends on if you mean after or before my father died" Mara stated, they looked at each other and shrugged
"Before?" Ollie questioned
"Two or three times" Mara answered honestly with a smile
"What about after he died?" Jason questioned
"A lot. Not recently but I've been there a lot" Mara replied with the nod of her head
"So, you know you're way around?" Ollie questioned
"Yeah, a little" Mara shrugged, the three of them shared a look, a look that Mara recognized, the look her sister gave her on the last day they ever saw each other
"What do you mean a little?" Ollie questioned
"I went through a dark period when I turned eighteen, I created a fake ID and went to bars, I was wasted almost ninety percent of the time" Mara said
"That sounds rough" Ollie said and Mara scoffed
"Are you actually kidding me? I was fine, I was just being a teenager. Granted, I wouldn't do any of that now, but it was just a phase" Mara said
"Okay then" Jason said breaking the awkward silence
"By the way, how helpful would it be if I knew someone that knew about everything in New York?" Mara questioned and Jason looked at her
"Extremely. Why?" Jason asked and she smiled
"I'm sure you've heard of these guys; Johnny and Joey Zane. They're pretty cool, they are immortal but they don't flaunt their intellectual superiority" Mara said with a smile and the three Twilight Hunters groaned
"Trust me, we know them" Ollie said
