Alias hung up the phone. He hadn't wanted to answer, still wish he didn't. To say it was comparable to any of his other usual calls would have earned a laugh. This one was different, and he didn't like nearly anything about it.

It was a simple job, offered to him by a secretary in the Order. Alias had never liked simple jobs, it always meant they were hiding something. But she never explained what was so simple about the job, nor any details of the job itself, and only said that her employer would like to have him over for dinner. She was all to happy to reveal his name. When she told him, Alias nearly dropped the phone.

Ormand LeFey.

He was talking to someone working for LeFey, the rather secretive, yet illustrious leader of the Order. Even for someone of his skill, Alias had never spoken directly to many people in power, it was often a secretary, or better yet, a member within the Enclave would find someone for the job. When it came to the Order and the Council, they would often leave it to the Enclave to decide whom was best suited for the job, as it kept things simple, and nobody was ever really sure who was delivering the blow.

Which is why it came as such a surprise to hear that the leader of the Order, not only wished to speak with him, but "would be more than delighted to have you over for dinner." were her exact words. It was all just a little unnerving. They must be planning something big, and nearby, for them to be this insistent of who carried out the job, and wanted to make it official enough, to even call him over and speak to him, face to face.

It all still felt horribly wrong, somehow. Alias wasn't even supposed to be here much longer, he was mainly here to aid one of his better and only friends, Vix on a little mission he'd been assigned in the city. They were scheduled to leave tomorrow, and each of them already had a plane ticket. How would LeFey even have known he was in the city? And why him specifically? But the secretary had listed off a payment number so large, he was forced to at least consider it.

While common sense, and nearly every other little alarm bell in his mind went off and screamed at him to ignore, or even refuse the offer, one stayed silent. The money was just too good. With an amount like that, he could likely retreat back into his vacation home, pay off his debts to the Enclave, and be free of it all.

So, he checked his clothes, making sure he looked his best, and grabbed the phone. Sending off a quick, secured text to Vix about the details so far, Alias left the small hotel room he had been staying at, and made sure he had some form of protection.

The light's had dimmed. The 'meeting' had taken place just before sunset, with the guise as dinner. However, Alias found it best not to eat, especially after he learned the details of his mission. The secretary hadn't lied to him, it was a simple job, hardly even a heist, and nothing that required a member of the Enclave.

LeFey had contracted him to bypass the security in the old Museum, several blocks down from the rather famous and overshadowing Natural History Museum, and find a certain artifact. He was supposed to either steal the contents of the artifact itself, or simply mark it so that another operative could do so soon, and the artifact would remain easily found. However, they never mentioned exactly what the artifact was, only that it was isolated in room 705b.

Even after expressing only a fraction of his concern, LeFey gave him permission to choose a secondary operative to shadow him, along with his personal secretary Vivian. He then promised his associate, whomever he should choose, a fair amount of money as well, so long as they completed the mission, and delivered the goods to them. Then after some slight consideration, Alias Kane accepted the job, owing half of his concern to the strange aloof behavior that surrounded the man, and explaining the rest away on just pure luck. He knew exactly who he was going to call as his associate, one that may have actually worked with Vivian in the past.

Vix Bonaparte, an old friend of his, would be perfect for the job. He was not only one of the only other Enclave members in the city, but was also one of the very few members of the human race, who used to work for the Order, but is now making a living elsewhere. His reasons for leaving changed depending on the day you asked, so Alias stopped asking altogether. Vix was also one of those few people in the world that seemed to maintain his cool, no matter what he was doing. Not only would he do the job, but he'd do it smoking a cigarette, and leave just enough time to have a breather on the balcony.

Besides all that, there was another reason Alias wanted him there. He used to work for the Order, so he'd hopefully be able to keep just a few paces ahead of them. He just needed to find his friend, and fill him in on the details.

LeFey had only given him a single day to find himself an associate, and then ordered them both to meet Vivian just a few blocks away at a local cafe, where they could then instruct him from outside the building. It sounded like Vivian was mainly there only to be sure they delivered, and would likely be more than happy to leave them behind once they finished the job.

Finally returning back to his small hotel room, Alias pulled out his phone. He stared at it a moment longer, then dialed Vix's number.

"Hey, Vix?"

"I've got a job for us."
