James Colt's Story

Through the hunter grapevine Jason had learned the names of the two female hunters who had infiltrated the Jengko residence back in California. After the Cali incident Jason decided to follow the two hunters, he had resisted the temptation as long as he could. This refusal was largely an attempt to defy what the disembodied voice upon the staircase had told him.

It was the voice of the mysterious Cambion which had suggested it.

Apparently there was something in the place where Jo and Pearl were driving to (wherever that place was), that the Cambion thought Jason needed to see. For the first few hours Jason had no idea where they were headed or for what purpose. It wasn't until he was about 50 miles from Drexel Arizona, that he finally discovered the reason for the long car trip.

Reaching Tucson and picking up that cities main radio station, Jason learned of the kidnapping of the Perez boy.

The plan that Jason had formulated in his mind was to hang back and to take no action, at least for a while. Jason knew that this bit of nasty business could only be the work of a Cuco spirit, a being which Jason familiar with. Jason had a friend by the name of Jammie Curtis, back when he was really young, who had also been taken by such a creature.

Jason was certain the girls could handle this case alone, and thought that it might be better for him to stay back a ways and observe, with the intention of hopefully discovering the reason for the Cambion's helpful info.

After contacting a special agent of the FBI, with whom he was acquainted, Jason had secured the address and some directions for finding the Perez family home in Drexcel Heights. About an hour later he had arrived at the residence and parked his car along the side-street curb opposite the house.

Although he had certainly felt the vibration of his phone within his front jean pocket, Jason chose to ignore it completely, but now sitting in his 1966 Lincoln the hunter was beset with a bit of boredom. Taking the opportunity to satisfy his curiosity Jason decided to check his phone for any missed calls, and one call in particular.

After pressing the required button for checking such messages Jason learned that the missed call, missed quite intentionally, was from James Colt. He realized that he owed James a big favor after what happened the first time they had worked together, but he was determined not to let anything interfere with his plan, a plan whose success relied on Jason staying exactly where he is.

His plan was simple enough, wait for the Cambion to show up at the Perez residence like he had back in California.

Jason had prepared several items based on what hunters knew concerning Cambion demons-Exorcisms, holy water and extremely powerful incantations were the name of the game today.

A Cambion would laugh at the normal incantation which hunters usually recite to get rid of lesser demonic spirits, only the most ancient of spells could dispatch one of these bad mothers.

Jason had stopped by the hardware store before arriving at the Perez house, there he purchased twenty feet of 4 inch clear plastic tubing.

In between his legs sitting inches from the accelerator pedal was a gallon jug of water recently blessed.

Now the waiting began.....

Pearl nodded as Jo informed her on what was happening. "Thanks." She replied as Jo left her in the motel room. She rang her mother and told her what was going on and to look after Stripes. Pearl smiled as she hung up the phone, she could feel the energy of a Cuco and a Skinwalker and the energy that came with Hunters, if was like caffeine only better and more magic. She opened the motel door and spotted her car, "Oh she actually brought my car." She smiled again. "She's pretty sweet." She said to herself as she opened the boot of her car, her grimoire and emergency travel stuff sat in front of her. She lifted the grimoire off her suitcase and pulled the suitcase out, setting it down beside her and she reached in and grab her grimoire.
She walked back into the motel room, pulled the curtains closed and lit some candles. "Ignus." She hummed as the candles ignited. She opened the grimoire on the spell used for connecting with others.She read the chant out loud and started to chant it, her eyes flickered uncontrollably as she searched for the other hunter. When she found him she felt a rush of energy hit her. "Jason..." She whispered his name when she found him, she found another Hunter, someone she didn't recognise, how she found him she'll never know. After scanning his memory, she found his name. "James..." She whispered, it was a call, one she hadn't meant to send, but she did anyway.

James had just finished taking a shower and he was drying his hair with a towel. As soon as he was done he put the towel aropund his waist and and left the bathroom. His weapons and tools were all laid out on the table across from his bed. His phone sat on the edge of the table, he checked for any messages. There wasn't any sign of a reply from Jason. James sat the phone back down then put on something comfortable and laid on the bed. He closed his eyes and before he knew it he was asleep. James found himself in an old abandon warehouse, the air was full of the scent of decay. He had been here before. James scanned the area and saw his brother Joseph standing a little ways behind him and he was hold a machete. James then remembered, this was the moment he saw his brother die. "I think that was the last of them" His brother said with a smile. A figure then appeared behind joseph. It was bald man with black eyes. James tried to tell his brother that a demon was behind him but he couldnt move or speak. Before Joseph had time to react the demon grabbed him and put him in a headlock. The demon looked up at james and smiled. "You boys did good....." It said with chuckle. The demon then snapped Josephs neck and disappeared.

James then woke up suddenly. He was breathing heavily and he was sweating. This wasn't the first time he had experienced that dream. He sat up rubbed his eyes and looked at the clock. He had slept for like two hours. thats when he heard it. "James......" He heard it in his head. It was a woman's voice but non the less it still alarmed him. James grabbed his .45 off of the table and had it ready. "Is anybody there?" He said as he scanned the room. Once he did a check of the entire room he took a deep breath. "It just your imagination..." he told himself.

(OOC:I was trying to get at that Radu killed James's brother...)

Pearl heard the new hunter speak. "Is anybody there? It's just your imagination..." Pearl smiled, "What kind of hunter blames his imagination?" She replied, smiling to herself. She looked over at the mirror and she could see the new hunter in it. "That's new." She said to herself.

Pearl felt the hunter was closer to her now, then her phone buzzed. She quickly hopped up and grabbed it but she was too late and got a voicemail a few seconds later. "Hey Blondie, its Jo. I'm at the Arizona State Mine Inspection office, just outside of town. I nearly 100% sure we're dealing with a Cuco. Long story short, Spanish version of the boogeyman. I'm thinking its hiding out in one of the mines here, I'm about to find out which one. The Perez kid, who was taken, doesn't have much time so I won't be wasting any. I could probably use some intel on this since I'm flying blind. There's nothing in the books. Please hit me up." She heard as she played the voicemail. She focused on the word Cuco and her grimoire started to flick through the pages, nothing. Pearl sighed and grabbed her keys, and left the motel room. SHe headed into the reception where she could feel the Hunter, it sent a shiver up her spine but she ignored it and went to the woman sitting behind the desk. "Hey do you know how to get to the mines just outside town?" The woman shoot Pearl a look that Pearl ignored and then handed her a map of the city, Pearl snatched it from the bitch and started walking outside when she bumped into someone. The hunter. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry!" She apologised not noticing who he was until she looked at him.

Jason's patients was wearing thin as he sat in his car outside the Perez residence, waiting for the Cambion demon to make his scheduled appearance. Jason was about to get out of his car and make his into the home when he had remembered the thought waves which Pearl had sent to him. Although Jason had ignored her calling initially, it did succeed in creating a limited physic connection between the two hunters.

Jo had called Pearl and after receiving her call she had left to go and lend some assistance to her hunter-sister, on her way there she had bumped into James Colt. Not too long before this Pearl had sent a mental message to both Jason and James, therefore Jason also had a fleeting connection to this hunter, and the three to each other.

This link allowed Jason to come to know of the caves, to which he immediately set off to investigate.

Eventually Jason had reached the mining company and was soon on his way into one of the active mines, he had no way of knowing which mine, or tunnel to inspect and so he just used the age old method, which was one step up from "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe." Sneaking his way passed any inquisitive security minded eyes, Jason made his way down.
