Nathan - back to work

Nathan stood outside with raguel as the other smoked a cigarette. "So what's stopping you from going after that boy? The writer?" He said, looking up as he blew out smoke. Nathan chuckled and fiddled with his ring he wore on his thumb "truth is, he's in the hands of another killer already. Guy snatched him right before I was about to. He's a real high fallutin asswipe. Got a whole compound on a big ol piece of property. I think he's watching me too. He doesn't know what I am, far as I can tell, but I dunno how much longer that'll stay that way. Had to ditch a tail on the way to the hotel." Raguel smiled lazily at him "puppy scared? Make the first move, he's only human, right?" Nathan laughed heartily "yeah? I guess you're right. Well... I suppose I could.." rag blew a cloud of smoke in his face, stinging his sensitive nose and sending him into a coughing fit "you fucker! You know that shits gonna kill you someday right?" He grinned, rag smiling back "nothings been able to do it yet, I find it hard to believe this'll do it. " Nathan rolled his eyes and kissed the other. "Let's go. I wanna grab him before the fancy pants steals him from me." They got into the old Celica and got driving, rag dropping him off at the edge of town and handing him a five for a bus pass. Nathan put in headphones and hopped on a bus, heading to his next prize. A few busses later, and he was on the other end of town, at the edge of the woods. He began his trek into the woods. Almost immediately, he picked up a follower, who no doubt wouldn't be able to be detected by a normal human, but his senses were sharper than that. Eventually, the man got too close for his own good, and Nathan shifted, tearing him limb from limb, letting out a laugh that echoed through the forest. He grabbed the earpiece from the man's ear, and began to listen "Paul! Paul! Where are you two now?" Nathan couldn't help himself, and he placed a finger on the button to transmit. "Paulieboy is a bit busy, being dead and all. You've reached Nathan!" He chuckled as the voice on the other end cursed at him and then went silent. "Ah, probably shouldn't have done that... this might get a tad... hairy. But hey, c'est la vie!" He shifted back and began to race through the woods, letting out laughs. Sure enough, as he came into the clearing before the mansion, gunfire cracked out around him, and he body checked several bullets before shredding the guards, screams echoing in the clear morning air, his breath fogging as blood painted the neat cobblestones of the path. He raced towards the building and slammed through the heavy wooden doors, sending splinters flying.
