Essence of Quinn Parts 3 & 4 (MxM)

First Name Basis

Earth dumped Santos’ unconscious form into the back of the van alongside the witch that Quinn had just shoved in there unceremoniously.

The two ghouls and Secondo stood for a moment, regarding them. Quinn growled as he glared. On the surface, they looked completely harmless, peaceful even, but his quintessential self could see beyond that. Their souls were absolutely rotten to the core, putrid, overcome with darkness and tainted even further because of the evil deeds they’d surely done.

“So, it is almost over,” Secondo said wearily. “I shall go and tend to Sunshine and Itzal whilst you two get them settled in the basement and then I shall join you. I suggest you both have some coffee and some food before they wake up. I want to try and gather information as quickly as possible so we shall begin immediately.”

Quinn and Earth both made noises of agreement. Fire and Air came over to them, the fire ghoul had just got off the phone.

“I just spoke to Veles. Primo’s pack are on the way to help get this mess cleaned up. Vukan and I will deal with the fire once we are done,” Fire said.

“Perfect. Thank you,” Secondo said. “I shall call a pack meeting late morning and we can go through everything then. Come, let’s get going before they begin to wake up.”

Earth climbed into the driver’s seat of the van and Air came over and offered Quinn a hug. He leaned in and kissed the skin just below his ear.

“You come and find me if you need me, okay?” he murmured.

Quinn nodded.

“I’ll be fine.”

Air stepped back and looked at him sceptically.

“Just find me, okay? Whatever you want, I’ll be there for you. You’re going to need some down time and if you don’t get it, I’ll be sure to come looking for you.”

Quinn chuckled and rolled his eyes.

“Sure thing, mother,” he said.

Air grinned and turned away, heading back towards the building, raising his hand in goodbye.

Quinn climbed in next to Secondo and shut the door behind him. They’d be riding with Santos and the witch. Sylvie was her name if he recalled correctly. Elise was the dead one.

“If they wake before I am done with Sunshine, put them out again,” Secondo said. He turned to Quinn and smirked. “With the quintessence. Just to clarify, si? I need them alive and their brain cells intact for the time being, per favore,” he added with amusement.

Quinn grunted his understanding and Earth laughed as he guided the van back out towards the main road.

Once they arrived back at the Abbey, they dropped Secondo off so that he could go and deal with Sunshine and then headed down to the loading bay that was used to bring prisoners in.

“Secondo wants them separated but still close enough to hear what’s happening. Ifrit and Omega were preparing the cells in one of the side halls,” Earth said as they each shouldered a human and made their way through the security points to get into the lower basement cells.

“At least there are plenty of empty cells now after the rituals to bring Itzal back. It was starting to get a little crowded down here,” Quinn said conversationally.

Earth snorted.

Quinn glanced through the bars of one of the cells they passed by, snarling when the human inside got too close to them. He whimpered and scooted back to get away. This particular human wasn’t too fond of Quinn after the interrogation he’d been subjected to not so long ago. He was all healed up now though. Physically at least.
