         (Since you guys aint moving Ima gonna only write for Edwin Black)

2 Days Later

"Edwin, this is more important!" shouted Ben Knight. Other people in the library looked at him but decided not to say anything when they saw his scary face.

"For you maybe," said Edwin Black and looked into the book he was pretending to read, Myth Of Old Gods. Ben snatched the book Edwin had and spoke, "Just come with me."

"Fine," sighed Edwin and lazily followed Ben. As they stepped he saw Ben's ride, a black Phantom. "Showoff," he said as they climbed in.

The car started and so did Ben, "What is your problem? Do you have to make a scene everytime?"

Edwin looked down at his legs. They were very comfortable but with Ben staring at his furiously, his mind wasn't. "You know I make a scene. Why bother?"

Ben sighed. Black was a important part of the Lazarus Project. They needed him because he was very good at finding people... but he was also a bitch to work with. "Found anything?"

Edwin didn't want to say it but he did anyway, "The fake immortal plan works."

Ben was surprised. It worked? So early? "How?" he asked.

"We were contacted by one just a few hours ago," said Edwin looking outside. The one way glass didn't allow people to look at him, at his face...

"And were you going to tell me about it?" demanded Ben. A bitch to work, Ben reminded himself.

"I'm still not sure about wether he is legit. Says he'll prove it," said Edwin. He was worried a little as to how that man knew about Lazarus and wondered how he'd 'prove it'.

"Nice... Just make sure to catch him..." Ben said and motioned the chauffer to take a right towards a world famous building.

"If it would be so easy, he wouldn't be free, now would he?" asked Edwin. "Ya..." said Ben as they reached the White House. "Ready to meet Mr. President?"

"Is he ready to meet me?" Edwin asked with a smirk.

Ben laughed. This was going to one hell of a meeting...

         Two farewells. She’d only gotten farewells and thank you from the couples that she helped now. To hear it from two complete strangers in a bar no less was an odd thing. The Japanese man she could understand. She knew their society was build around politeness and manners. But the other woman it was odd coming from her. She shrugged to herself as she turned and grabbed her bottle grateful for the reminder. It wasn’t like she was going to forget it though. She didn’t have any of her meads in this city. She had yet to go and get her stuff since she had no place to stay.

Étaín had started out the door when the woman’s words caught her attention. She turned back to her one eyebrow arched. “I would then suppose those people wouldn’t want to be alone anymore.” She managed a weak smile and a small laugh. “I’d go looking for him. And then again if there was one why couldn’t there be others?” It was the very question she had asked herself before she’d picked up and moved.

“Anyway…” She rubbed the back of her head lightly nervously. “I’m new to the area and well… I could use some friends, someone to hang out with. At least until I get settled.” She posed the question to both of the people at the bar. The Japanese man was a gamble. He was either there on business or newly arrived like her. If it was the latter she was good if not, she lost out. But the other woman she was hoping for success with. “By the way, my name’s Étaín Fields.” She’d practiced the last name tons of times before she’d gotten there. Always changing the last but never the first name. It would be her down fall she knew, but she couldn’t bring herself to do it.

“So… what do you say?” She was hoping for a yes. They both seemed to speak of the immortal on a higher level than what she had heard other people speak of and that had her wanting to be around them more. If only to glean information from them. Not to mention they seemed to understand the words she spoke about it too. But that also meant she had to be more careful, more guarded about what she said to them if they did say yes.
