Samoth would then get a phone call, saying: [b]Alexander[/b]. What would William Ascot's brother want with him? Well, once he reserved the time to answer the call, Alexander would say, "Hello, Samoth. We need to talk; my younger brother is in immediate danger." A pause for effect. "Do you know one Vittorio Twinveil?"
 
Samoth stopped as his boot hit the first step of the staircase. The cellphone in his pocket began buzzing, and he grasped it with a gloved hand, answering it. The voice wasn't familiar, but nonetheless one he had heard before. "I wouldn't exactly say I 'know' him, Alexander. But yes, I am aware of his presence among the ranks of the Mephistos."
 
He slowed his ascent up the stairs, allowing his companions to catch up to his postion, but still staying near the lead of the group. "What is it that you need to know?"
 
Alexander's response was, "Powers, Weaknesses, Backstory; I got some of it from Will, and what I know disturbs me. Will has gotten obsessed with 'redeeming' that kid and you know the ultimate fate of a 'redemption freak'; death. So before my younger brother martyrs himself trying to save a psycho fanatic who thinks Alto is the cause of his troubles, I want that kid's name on my book, and his physical body locked away in maximum security juvie, and immediately transferred to maximum security [i]prison[/i] once he turns 18. I also have it on good intelligence that Alto's gone home to, well, his home. I can get him to act as bait in exchange for, well...helping out the Juvenile Crimes Investigation Office can really help once's career as an adult. Point is, though, if I wasn't a cop, I'd want that kid - oh, my gods! My little brother is muttering something about using Narrative Role of Familiarity in the Demon Dimension! He's going to try and find the killer of Vittorio's friends and family!"
 
This response followed, "Powers; in this department he seems to hold capability of seperating his mind/soul from his body. He appears to make a ghostly copy of himself, even if slightly altered. From what i've heard/ seen with my own eyes, this form can also summon some form of tentacles, as well as shoot some type of searing beam from them. Could pose some threat. As for weaknesses, I don't have much on that. But as a usual case, I doubt this ghastly form could stand my touch, so I could possibly help in that department. Backstory; all I know is that Alto tells us Vittorio has it in for him, and in for him bad. He apparently hates Alto's guts. Seems like he has his own little crusade against the man."
 
Samoth continued his way up the steps with the rest of his crew, eyeing his surroundings for any signs of more opposition, especially some other demon-beast waiting for them in the shadows.
 
The younger man didn't know it, but Alexander was frowning once more. "Well, from what I know, Vit hates Alto because on a visit to St. Laurel's, he saw a Demon kill his best friends, then his parents - who were gardeners in St. Laurel's - in front of him as said demon sought out Alto. Ascot asked about ressurecting said best friends and parents; the God of Stories himself said that was impossible. So now my little brother -"
 
Another sound, of someone stirring awake. "Alex? Is that you? Who are you talking to?"
 
Alexander's voice turned milder, "Hush now, little bro, just me doing law enforcement business. Nothing important."
 
Several more seconds followed before the investigations officer said, "Look, Ascot - William - he's someone who doesn't like tragedy and injustice. He's already talked about 'redeeming' Vittorio and getting him to drop his grudge against Alto, but the only way he can do that is to catch the Demon who killed his best friends and parents, or find a link between said Demon and Mephisto - I don't think I should elaborate on that one - or do other things that would put him in danger. And I don't want that; I want my little brother safe and happy."
 
"Either way, he could get hurt if he pursues this. I doubt Vittorio would kill him. But you could just arrest Vittorio. It is a known fact that he wants Alto dead. Could be taken as a threat on his life." Samoth replied.
 
A chuckle. "I could, yes. But I don't know where he is right now. So if you find any leads as regards that, any leads to where his astral or physical forms are, please tell me at once." 
 
He sighed with concern and tiredness, then Alexander caught his breath, a sign of alarm. "Ascot - Will - is awake. He's apparently been listening to us for the whole time."
 
And with that, William's voice interrupted. "Alex, Samoth, I am really sorry, but if you really want to help, trust me when I say that my quest is not a bad thing. Mephisto, the Ancient Evil, and the Demon who killed Vittorio Twinviel's friends and family, they're all connected. So do not do anything reckless."
 
A pause. "Hypocrisy, little brother, hypocrisy coming from you. You probably have a plan for infilitrating the Demon Dimension that is badly thought out."
 
There was no attempt to contest this as Ascot said, "Then help me refine said plan. You're being a jerk when you say that someone should be arrested for having a tragic past."
 
"I'll be on the lookout for him" Samoth said, "Tell Ascot I say to not let his personal feelings get the best of him. Keeping your own head on straight is more important than keeping somone else's on."
 
"Thanks," Alexander's tone was warm. "I will. Anyway, yeah, be on the lookout; that's all I ask."
