"Mr Turner is always expecting me", Jaira answered, glad to have been given some direction to take her gaze off the wizard. Realising she must have sounded abrupt to the group she added a hasty, "Thankyou for your help", and headed for the backroom.

As soon as the back door closed, Kaden finally blinked in surprise. "I'll be right back." He said quickly, moving to the door as well. Before she could get too far inside, he closed the door behind himself. "What are you doing here?" He asked.

She continued heading down the small aisle, briefly looking over her shoulder towards the wizard. She couldnt afford to be distracted on this meeting.
"Family business", she replied, reaching the end of the aisle. "Which room would I find Turner in?", her gaze moved between the two end rooms.

He sighed, recognizing the signs of wanting to not pay attention to him. Pointing to the door on her left, he said, "That one. It's usually unlocked."

"Thanks", she took a half step towards the door, struggling briefly with the fight between her heart and head. Within an instant she had chosen the latter, locking Kaden against the wall. "Damn its inconvenient not hating you", her lips brushed the wizards as she mumbled quietly.

"Then pretend you hate me so you can take care of whatever business you have to." Kaden whispered back. "And I hope you're not planning on killing my boss."

"Dont worry, you`ll get your paycheck", Jaira pulled away with a small smile and headed towards the door on the left. For a moment she felt slight fear, then reminding herself who`s daughter she was, allowed the familiar mask to fall.
Torrik had been right. The door was unlocked.
Striding into the room she took in with suprise the abscence of any body guards surrounding the man before her. Damn. She had kind of been looking forward to at least a little trouble. It had been too long since a decent fight. Plus, she had to admit it made her nervous to be in a room with this man alone. They didnt have the best history.
The werewolves scrutiny of her surroundings were interrupted by a dry laugh, "So you are still alive, little wolf....", he looked her up and down with the slight smirk that always played upon his lips, "....and all grown up".

The normal, rational part of Kaden's mind told him to walk away. This was between the two of them and them alone. But the other part, the unexplainable part, is what kept him in that hallway. He expected something bad to happen, so he waited, never taking a step closer to that door.

"No thanks to you", she watched him closely, the years had not treated the mortal well. At forty years of age, his involvement in all that was dark seemed to be taking its toll on the Club owner. He was already graying, wrinkles lining his beady eyes. At his desk he attempted to hold himself indifferently, but merely suceeded in appearing hunched and tired. "Now let us skip the formalities and get to the point. You are late in your payment. Need I remind you.."
"Oh, you need not remind me anything", Xavier waved her warning away, "What I`m wondering, though, is why they sent their little wolf to do the bargaining. Surely they have more higher aspirations for Miss Jaira Esteen? Your work is the very popular in the underworld communities. It seems I may have taken a sudden rise in the Esteen ranks", he rose an inquisitive eyebrow, "and that, I must say, intrigues me".

Damn the curiousity he was born with. Kaden knew it killed, and he knew it wasn't hard for somebody to want to kill him at this point, but his curiousity won out anyway. He crept closer to the door, making sure not to make a sound, and he leaned against the wall right outside the door.

Jaira sighed, and allowed her gaze to continue with a sweep over the cramped back room, "Where are they?"
The man knew when to let things go. "Theres been a complication."
"A complication." The werewolves fiery eyes snapped back to the club owners. "Do you care to expand upon that, Turner? My father has a special interest in these ones. I have been told to explain to you that if you dont wish to co-operate with me, my brothers will be only too happy to step right in. But personally", she took a step forward and stared the man down with daggered eyes, "I wouldn`t mind beating the truth from you myself".
She saw through his shrugged reply in an instant and moved to take her stance behind the man, taking his fist in an uncomfortablly tight squeeze, "Tell me, Xavier".

As he looked on from his concealed position outside the door, Kaden held back a gasp. This was no surprise visit, because Xavier was definitely not surprised. He knew exactly who he was talking to, which was admittedly more than Kaden could say. This was the only reason he stayed silent when she grabbed the man's hand and squeezed, threatening to crush whatever she wanted out of it.

Too his credit he stayed quiet until she was applying enough pressure to make the average man cry. But this man wasnt owed any credit. Gritting his teeth in agony, he wriggled uselessly against her hold, her knee holding him firmly into his chair. "..They`ve gone" he rasped.
"Gone?", her knee increased pressure to meet the fist clench.
"Gone... ", his breath came heavy, "The mother took them away. No ones seen them in months..."
"..Then I suggest you tell me all you know about this Kiya and her young ones".

The name hit him like a 20-ton semi. Kiya? What the hell's she got to do with this? Was the main thought that ran through the wizard's mind. And just why was Jaira looking for her? As bad as it might have sounded, this conversation was getting more and more interesting with the more pain she inflicted on his boss. Kaden had to admit he himself wanted to know what they knew about her.

"Shes a fire witch... there was some trouble back with her a while ago, involved with some vampire..."
"The kids father?", Jairas tried to piece together what she knew of the family.
"..One of them", relishing in the release of pressure from the werewolves knee, his tongue loosened considerably, "The second kid wasnt his, belonged to another vampire... hes dissappeared too", he cursed, "Theyve all disappeared".
"You must have some idea where they`ve gone. I know you Xavier, you`ll have some on in your employ that knows....", she stopped. Some one was watching from the door. In a flash she was there and let out a small curse of her own. "You shouldnt be seeing this, Kaden".
