He makes it to his room, pulling up on the top of his dresser, it was a false top, revealing a small compartment, holding more of his Ankh Daggers as well as a few odds and ends that had some reason of importance, he put the daggers into holsters that he had hid under his shirt, Normally he only kept one on him, but he had a sinking feeling that something wasn't right, and while the daggers we're finely crafted, they were fragile, not at all meant for defensive combat, one block or parry could shatter the blade rendering it useless.
He also liked the way she had set her own traps, the dart shooters the most, it was a very intricate launching system, compact yet powerful, he had made a few modifications of his own, and had now concealed one into a watch wrist band, no where near as powerful as the ones in the statues, but it could still send a dart through its target at fifteen meters. He strapped the watch to his wrist and checked it to make sure the trigger still worked, it did.
He smirks, thinking to himself " Okay... so maybe there are a few things i haven't told you about what i do in my spare time. "
A knock comes at the front door, as he closes the top of his dresser, he turns to leave his room, and moves for the door.

She went to her closet picking out an outfit She heard a knock on the door "Joe get that for me." She leaned over the rail waiting for his grumble of a retort "Of course highness." She laughed lightly "Thanks." She turned around and pulled out a delicate necklace from her jewelry box. She held the Ankh she flipped it open in her hand testing the blade against her desk smiling as it sliced into it. She put the necklace on and hide it into her shirt. She slid a dagger into her hidden holster on her thigh pulling her skirt over it. She sighed looking at herself in the mirror. "Well here goes nothing." She headed down to the living room her eyes meeting Joe's shaded ones. She flashed him a do i look ok look before biting her lip remeber he wouldnt see her expression. "You two playing nice?"

That settled it Joe would be following them tonight, even if she didn't like it, He extended an hand to the man standing in the door way, rather then act the role of a family member or friend, he donned the butler approach, " Good evening sir, i take it you are here to take Miss Greyhart out for the evening? "
The man in the door way slapped away his hand, " Yeah, i am, where is she? "
Joe holds this temper, " I'm sure she'll be down shortly. " He heard foot steps coming down the steps, " Ahhh speak of the devil. "
He watched her walk into the room, saw the change in her dress, and the look she flashed him, " Yes, we are getting along quite well, your choice of dress looks astounding by the way, i hope you two enjoy your evening, if you'll excuse me.
Joe walks out of the room, "Now to get ready for my own evening..."

The man leads her out of the house and to a rather fancy looking car, to much body work had been done to it to identify the make and model. A driver waited out side the rear passenger side door, opening as he approached " Mr. Sylar you have a call waiting for you on line one. "
" Yes yes... Seems business never ends, " Sylar motions for the driver to move, and he takes the door up himself, " After you lovely. " He waits for Isabelle to enter and take a seat before gently closing the door behind her the tinted windows blurring any vision out of the car she would have had, and he walks up to the driver, wrapping his hand around the man's throat, " One more mistake like that and i will have you killed in ways your small brain can't even begin to comprehend... Understand? "
The driver coughed out an acknowledgement, as Sylar released his hand, gasping for breath, the driver moved for the front door, and sat down behind the wheel. Sylar moved back to the door opening it for himself and entering the car.
" So sorry for that, and for this, i know its impolite to answer a phone call at a time like this, but i hope you understand its importance. " He picked up the phone, " Hello? "
" You were right Sir, the man at the door was no butler, one of your men just reported him leaving from the back of the house, we have someone in pursuit, would you like that mutt put down now? "
Sylar cleared his throat, " No that is fine, carry on as you are, i will deal with things in the morning, for now i'm busy, have a good night. " He turned to Isabelle, hanging up the phone, " So sorry about that, so where would you like to go this evening? nothing and nowhere are off limits. " He flashes a bright grin.

She stoned her self to not roll her eyes at him showing up with a driver and tossed him a sweet smile thanking him for opening her door. She watched Sylar's body tense up over the phone call rich kid dreading a phone call willing to bet a million dad issues. She scrolled through her ipod as he talked giving him privacy. "Oh no its cool it wasnt another girl calling to make you cancel on me we are fine." She smirked softly.
" Well there is a new history discussion in the west end, its all centered around greek mythology and a bit on the roman as well." She glanced at him "But I can do that solo it can be rather dry if you arent well me.", they just opened up that little cafe down off of main if you'd rather grab something to eat." She felt a tinge of feeling cornered but brushed it off turning to face him "What would you rather do or did you have something fancier in mind high roller."

" Like i'd tell you mutt. "
" That's all i needed to hear. " Joe stated coldly sinking the dagger through the man's throat. He pulled it out, turned around stepping out from the shrubs, he faced the gap between the two buildings, whipping the dagger across the road right in to the other man's heart, walking to the dead body, looking over the body he found another set of daggers. Joe checked around him, before releasing the Eye's power and slipping into the alley.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Ahhh! " Sylar grinned widely, " You heard of the that discussion as well? This is even more wonderful then i thought, beauty and brains, I've been looking forward to this discussion all week. " He knocked on the dividing glass, it rolled down a crack, " To the west end, we wish to attend the History discussion. He turned back to Isabelle, " Just because i have money doesn't mean i don't enjoy the finer things in life, if its still open after the discussion, that cafe you talked about, would you like to see how the service is? "
"Wonderful, she's making this all too easy, with that damn Anubis out of the way, there's nothing keeping me from killing this sweet little Sister, i wonder how much fun i could have with her first."

She shook herself free of her thoughts "I just figured you'd be hungry after here about those gluttonous romans." She winked at him she wasn't sure if he was a greek or roman fan "We might have to set apart if you are more of a Jupiter fan then a Zeus." She smiled innocently at him like it was a simple question, but like all of her kind weeding out a dates background was a good idea her interest in mythology helped cover it.

Sylar moves up to her, " Shall we head in? " He offered her his arm.

Joe stood a top a near by roof, drawing power from the Eye of Horus he watched Isabelle and Sylar move towards the lecture hall, " I knew she would bring him here, maybe i did understatement her slightly, bringing him to such a public place, he cant make a move without someone seeing him, not that im going to let him. Joe slowly made his way down the building, once at the bottom, he exchanged his current clothes with another set he had brought with him, not wishing to instantly stand out to Sylar once Joe made his way into the lecture.
There we're so many people inside the building, it had gone to standing room only, Joe was stopped at the door. " I'm sorry sir, but this building has reached its maximum capacity, and we cant allow anyone else in." A guard a the door said
Joe smiled, " Check your list for a Mr. Sable, the owner of this establishment, Mr. Parkins is expecting me, i assisted him on his research for parts of this lecture. "
The guard scans the clipboard, " Oh, yes, its all right here, he also left a note here that you are blind Mr Sable, " The guard looks up, " Will you be requiring any assistance navigating the lecture hall? "
" No that'll be fine, I'll just find some standing space in the back row, i don't think that Mr. Parkins is actually expecting me to show up tonight."
" Alright sir, have a good evening. "
Joe nods and walks in, "Wow, there are a lot of people here, where did they go... ?"

She pushed down a hiss as she walked past a statue of Octavian. She smiled feeling a growl fighting in her chest but shook out another greeting and introduction to him. She smirked inwardly I might be trusting but I am not stupid. She glanced across the room taking in the exits and where the guards are waving at a few people she didn't know but like most people waved back at the perky blondes friendly smile.She found her seat quickly pulling him to the seat next to her keeping her hand lightly in his.

five minuets had passed into the lecture, and a man, the driver from before, walked up from outside the room, leaning down into Sylars ear, he then turned to Isabelle, " Well this is rather unfortunate, it appears that there has been an accident that requires my attention, im afraid i'm going to have to excuse myself early this evening, i dont hope this will mar any chances of us spending another evening together? " With that he was out of his chair and walking out of the room.
Once back at the car he exploded, " What the hell happened? "
" Well sir, it looks as if the man who was at the house knew he was being followed, we found both your men disarmed and dead, and we lost track of the man who left the house. "
" Then its for sure he's one of Anubis' lackeys, find him and kill him, and soon, he will be returning to the house that he left from, send men there and have them ready and waiting for his return, i want it done before this lecture is done and that girl makes it home, what a better way to show her she's not safe then my leaving her guardian dead on her doorstep. "
The driver nodded his head, and Sylar exploded again, " Then what the hell are you still doing here? get to fucking work! "
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joe watched as Sylar left the hall, a wave of relief washed over him, and much of his worry left him, Isabelle would be fine on her own here, he trusted her surroundings, he as well slipped out of the hall, returning to the guards at the front door.
" Leaving so soon sir? "
" Yes, " Joe nodded, " I'm not feeling so well, and i would rather not risk spreading whatever i may have caught, if it is anything more then just an upset stomach. "
" Ah, i see sir, hope you feel better. " The guard replied.
" Thanks, oh, and when Miss Greyhart leaves this evening, will you pull this car around for her? Her date left early and Mr. Parkins has offered the use of his car for the evening, I'll return it in the morning. "
" Yes sir, we'll have it ready for her when the lecture ends. "
" Thank you, have a good night. " he nods his thanks again before walking off. " Now to head home, i think that chicken in the freezer was still good, damn Eye taking so much strength out of me now, I'm going to eat her out of house and home at this rate."

She made her way in shutting the door carefully. "Oh Joe I am home I hope you didnt get so totally lonesome being here all alone all night since you did stay home all night right? She pulled her boots off at the door. She tilted her head when she heard nothing from him. She glanced down the hall seeing his door shut. Little early for him to be in bed She felt no tinge of pain like she did when he hurt himself some how. She went up to her room and flopped on the bed staring at the ceiling. She pulled out the scroll deal with the bonds of other daughters and sons , she got to the part on bonding and zonked out.

No one was making a move, so he pretended not to noticed, moving closer to the house, and up to the front door. He heard the click of a shoe heel coming up behind him, much to heavy to be Isabelle's. People failed to take into account that, with out his sight, Joe's other senses had become much stronger, his hearing was superb, the man moved up closer behind Joe, pulling out a small shock stick, a short metal baton, with a electrical current running through it. He came up behind him, and swung the shock stick, Joe quickly tracked the hum of the electrical current as it moved towards him, dodging to his left, the stick missing him completely, turning around with his own counter attack, snaking his way around to the mans back, bringing his hands to his neck, and quickly snapping his neck. " Damn, now i've got a body to clean up... "
No one else moved, and the area was silent, but the dull rumble of an approaching car engine, " Damn it... home already? lead foot... " He took the body around to the back of the house, and waited for her to pull in, he heard the engine die, and the door to the house open and close, listening to her call for him, he would wait for her to go to sleep before heading out to dispose of the body.

The mists rolled over the shimmering green water as the palm trees gently rocked in the late summer breeze. The smell of lotus blooms and cinnamon filled the air. Isabelle stood over a map looking over all of Egypt across the table from her stood Joe his face and mouth held annoyance as well as deep sadness. She looked up from the maps starting to talk to him when she felt her throat go dry as a man walked up and took her hand. She looked over and inspite of her self smiled at him "My King you are late." Sylar grinned at Joe with his eyes matching those of a cobra turned and pressed Isabelle to the wall kissing her as hard as he could until she whimpered out a pained sound leaving her throat. He pulled back locking eyes with Joe as she wiped blood from her lip. "Sorry to keep you waiting MY queen." He spat the word mine at him. She bit back a snarl "Could you just not.." He turned on her softing his eyes gently taking her hand in hushed whispered "Sorry my pet this war is just making me a mess, forgive me." She smiled and nodded "Oh course." Joe shut his eyes and bowed to her before stalking out of the room, as he made it out in the hall he punched the wall in the open courtyard.
She flipped onto her stomach grumbling in her sleep eyes eyes fluttering rapidly as her dreams marched on.
Sylar stood next to a handful of his brothers a sick smile on his face as he kicked the body of Joe on to his side. Isabelle dropped to her knees her breath caught in her throat. She had ran as fast as she could to save him just to watch him fall in battle. "Aww witch did you not get to save the one thing protecting you? You don't think the mongrel loved you did you?" He laughed as her nails grew her eyes changing into cats eyes a hiss leaving her throat. "By my mother and even with the Anubis sons you will be struck down. Sylar held his head back and laughed"A fighter to the end now wonder your people love you highness."She started to retort when hands grabbed her holding her to the ground. He pryed her mouth open lifting a bottle of poison to her lips.
Isabelle sat up in bed throwing her hands over her mouth when she figured out that horrible sound was leave her mouth it had been her overly hoarse screams that had sounded like sirens in her head. She pulled her knees to her chest as she fought to get her breath back into her lungs.

Every second brought him to the third set of stairs, he had not moved this fast in ages, his feet barely touching the ground between strides, forgetting she preferred to be called by her nickname Joe yelled out, "Isabelle?! What's going on?! " he got no response, " Isabelle?! "
He never lost his timing, and went up the third stair case, thoughts running though his mind. "Did one of those watchers make it into the house? whats-" His thoughts are cut short, as several traps sprung, "Shit! i should have figured up to her room would be more trapped." He dodged several volleys of poison tipped darts, and a few blade traps before being clipped in the shoulder by a spike trap, which consisted of nothing but a long, razor tipped pole. Blood flowed freely down his arm but he paid no attention to it, its was a superficial wound, having missed almost all of his muscle mass, his dagger was still gripped tight in his hand as he rounded the top of the third set of stairs, " Isabelle! " He called again, seeing her sitting on her bed, moving over quickly to her, " What's wrong? are you alright? "

He chuckled weakly, " Record time? ha! you've got nothing on me, you don't realize how much a deterrent blindness is to a person. " He smiled, " I knew you would know i was following, but it was for your own good, i don't like that man, not at all, i'd rather you didn't see him again, excuse me for being so forward, but he is bad news. I was followed by men i can only presume we're his, i think it was more a test of my ability to protect you. " He took a deep breath, before continuing. " There we're men waiting here for our return, i was able to take care of one of them, i was getting rid of the body when you pulled in, most of them had cleared out by then, but i've been on nerve sense then, the Roman are rekindling the war on the Sisters, us Anubis thought it was rumor, but we took it for truth anyways, and i'm glad we did. Your life is in danger any time your around that Sylar. "
