Damn, Nero thought, this broad was something else.  He kept quiet for the time being, merely taking a few drags off his cig here and there and flicking ashes.  He was considering his options at this point, but to him, they were more or less limited.

In the old days, the Erzebet Coven was one of the most powerful, the most ruthless of vampire covens to rule the city.  They may not have been purebloods like the Malkavians, but they held everyone and everything in the palm of their hands.  They had cops, public officials, drug cartel bosses, even the damn mayor in their back pocket.  Nothing happened in the city without their sayso, and nobody dared to lift a finger against them.

But when their war with the Malkavians started, and a vast majority of their brethren were butchered.... that's when the [i]golden days[/i] ended for them.

Nero, he longed for those days again...and would do anything to make it happen.

But before he could speak, there was a blinding flash of light permeating the thick, dark mist of the piney forest.  A souped up 4x4 humvee pulled into view, blasting a heavy dose of old school hip hop.

Nero grinned as the large, muscular black male with dreads climbed out, and he hopped up, giving the man what was pretty much a bro-hug.

[color=ed1c24]"Big Mark!  Now we can get the party started!"[/color]

[color=fff200]"Nero, my man!"[/color]  Marcus let ou a hearty laugh.  [color=fff200]"What up, G?  Heard some shit went down at the party tonight!  Fuckin' Hunters tried to ice you and the boss!  You alright?"[/color]

[color=ed1c24]"Fuck, I've been through worse."[/color]  Nero snickered.  [color=ed1c24]"So d'you get the shit I called you about?"[/color]

Marcus nodded, [color=fff200]"Yeah man, but I gotta ask dude, Mei know about this?"[/color]  He looked at Nero worried.

Nero shook his head, [color=ed1c24]"Best she don't.  She'll flip her shit if she finds out we got all this."[/color]

They were about to walk to the back of Mark's hummer, till Mark noticed a particulary attractive looking blonde lounging across Anton's car, or in Mark's way of saying, a [i]fine ass bitch![/i]

[color=fff200]"Daaaamn Nero!  Where'd you find this hot piece o' ass?"[/color]

Nero grimaced with a laugh, opening up the back door of the hummer,
 [color=ed1c24]"Trust me, Mark.  That bitch ain't mine."[/color]  It looked like Big Mark delivered, as always.  In the back were four metal crates, marked with military insignia.  Nero cracked one open, throwing back the lid.  The sight...it brought a smile to his face unlike anything.

Hunter-grade assault rifles, complete with UV ammunition.  Just what Nero needed, and there was enough to arm a militia.  He smirked checking one of them out.  [i][color=ed1c24]Now those fucking Malkavians are gonna get theirs...tonight.[/color][/i]

Meanwhile, Marcus swaggered up to the blonde, a flirtatious grin he was giving as he let out a catcall of a whistle.  [color=fff200]"Mmm mmm~!  Damn, you one fine lookin' girl, baby!  What your name?"[/color]

Mei took another sip of her drink and set it aside for now.  It was time to begin their little meeting since she was aware by now Mark would have arrived.  She couldn't help but feel something was...amiss however.  Nero hadn't returned from his impromptu smoke break for quite a while.  She was beginning to think he had run off somewhere, perhaps on some [i]errands[/i] she would not approve of.  She looked at the time on her phone beside her on the bar.  2:35 AM.

"Ugh... Where is that bastard?"  She mused with a sigh.
