"Understood Damian, ETA five to ten minutes. Don't start the party without us!" Krystoff had just been getting an espresso and chugged the scalding beverage. He'd been in a lot more pain if he wasn't properly caffeinated. He was glad he'd packed heavy for this hunt, including holy water grenades. They would come in handy for such a large group.

Pocketing his bluetooth, Krystoff slammed on his helmet and started up his motorcycle. It purred like a happy big cat, making the young man smile briefly. The satisfaction was short-lived as his mind went back to the task at hand. Revving the throttle a time or two, he released his brakes and was soon weaving between downtown traffic. He'd been waiting near the river for Damian's or Dimitri's call for backup, having already swept his usual hunting grounds.

Krystoff gave Alexi a cocky wave as he overtook her on the city streets. He could spot that suped-up Subaru from a mile away and hear it even better. The race was on! Krystoff activated the comms, not having heard everyone respond. "Has anyone heard from Jack? He went on a solo-hunt a couple hours ago and hasn't checked in!"
