[Sodium_noir] Saturday Evening at Dusk

[Spikey]

Hope, Leon 
Ghouls 
Dusk Towers 

Hope takes note that Leon was now keeping his distance, finally respecting her space. Did that mean that he now saw her as an equal? As she waits for the lift to come back to their floor, she listens to what he has to say. 

>"They'll have it for you at reception, little leather attache case thing with all the bump and phone numbers and stuff. As far as the rest of the world is concerned you just joined a gym at Dusk and nothing else." 

Hope shakes her head. "That reasoning's going to fall apart pretty quickly. Police, and detectives in particular are suspicious by nature. Brannigan knows I live in Neon City, and Dusk is in the Business District. You generally attend a gym close to your home, not somewhere on the opposite part of town." Hope folds her arms. "You said before Dusk has an extensive private library, did you not? He'd buy the story that I came here to do research while I was on leave." 

Leon nods, seeming to agree. 

The elevator door opens. She wonders if Wolf was going to tag along to the meeting and decides to fish for an answer. "Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow night?" With that, she walks into the elevator, but pauses for a moment to get his response. 

"Indeed you will Hope!" he says without moving. "I look forward to it in fact. Until then .."

The doors closed and the lift began to descend. Leon was left alone in the hallway, brushinghis hands over the flock wallpaper while he sorted through his thoughts. 

The induction of a new Ghoul intot he order was not something that happened very often in the modern age. Most positions were filled by Venenants of vampire converts. Nosferatu, Tzimisce, and few Lasombra and Gangrel, Brujah mostly, there were no more Ravnos wearing the three claoks in this age. Hope was resistent to much of their methods, which he understood. But the blod would alter that, Ghouls lacked the resistence to the Blood Bond and the affectiuons it awoke. And in time she would come to love the masters because of thier actions rather than becaiuse thier blood induced her to do so.

He turned back and stalked towards his office. The night was only half young and he had much to do.
