Daniel tapped his finger at the top of his cane. Watching over everything that was going on in the club. His eyes glanced over to several men who may not have noticed themselves… but were staring at several of Donn’s underlings a bit to intently… rival members. It was as clear as day they were scouting the place out seeing if they could probably muscle the place over to their own payroll. His eyes turned to a man in a suit who didn’t seem interested in women or alcohol but seemed to look around a bit to often… clearly law enforcement… sent to keep tabs on their business.
He stood up walking over to Donn’s office and knocking sharply before leaning against the wall that the door was attached to. “Donn… you in there… need to discuss some rather… bad news.” He said slowly his voice confident with a slight addition or hesitation as if he didn’t want to say this… but it was true. He awaited a few minuets sighing he continued to stand. From here he had a better view of their patron’s anyways.
He growled when his eyes found some young boy who was clearly under aged. He motioned for one of the bouncers to come over. “I hope he at least ahs a fake I.D. I don’t want the cops checking this place because of a god dam minor was drinking at a strip club… card his ass or throw him out…”
The bouncer nodded walking over to Tyson. “Let me see your I.D. or you’ll have to leave…”

rise up to do thy biddingSlowly the sulphur smell of the underworld disappeared, to be replaced by the scent of cigarettes and leather... murky shapes formed and Rebus blinked, once more having to adjust to eyes with only one lid, which could only blink up and down instead of side to side. He groaned, uncrumpling his human body from its prone psition on the floor of his office, and wiped the drool from his mouth as he sat up.
"Fuck," he murmured, his voice thick from forming round an unfamiliar tongue and lips.
He stood, almost stumbled, leaned against the desk, and took several deep breaths. He hated this bit... the coming back seemed to get more disorientating each time he did it. He wished he didn'thave to... maybe he wouldn't for much longer.
The memory of the archangel came back to him in a rush. What did he want with the master? What could Azazel's creator possibly need to say that was so important he had to send his own messenger to say it? Perhaps he should have stayed longer to find out... but he wanted to be here, he found himself missing the place.
Finally regaining his breath and his composure, he automatically reached into his jacket pocket for his phone to check his messages... and found it full.
Dahlia... Dahlia... Dahlia... Kenny...
"Bloody Hell what the fuck's going on?" he mused aloud.
Not bothering to listen to anything they actually said, he grabbed his overcoat and walked purposefully out of his office, intent on heading round to the apartment to see if the girl was at home. On his way out he poked his head into the bar.
"You haven't seen Dahlia have you Mack?" he asked, and the barman shook his head.
"Not since earlier," he replied briefly, and turned back to the young guy sitting at the bar.
Rebus turned to leave, checking he had his car keys, but as he turned he caught sight of Daniel out of the corner of his eye. Daniel was one of his more reliable men, but generally worked alone. He must have good reason for being here. As he watched a bouncer approached him and the young guy at the bar... obviously some minor issue. Rebus motioned with his head for Daniel to come with him as he stepped out into the corridor towards the back door.
"What is it?" he asked without preamble.

Daniel followed Rebus when he was told to a hesitant look upon his face as if he didn’t want to have to say it. He mentally cringed as he drew a folder stained with fresh blood from his coat. “I have… some very bad news…” He looked away from Donn taking a cigar from his pocket and lighting it. He took a few moments to calm himself down. “Dahlia… is in a shit load of trouble…” He seemed to consider whether or not to continue and with a great shudder did so. “ This folder holds an entire month’s worth of drug shipment dates and where they are going… it was caught by one of my men in the Russian ranks… acquired this… through much bloodshed. I had no way of confirming the mole… until this evening. I have just received reports that your apartment complex… specifically Dahlia’s apartment was burned by the Russians… in a very unique and public way… they shot a god dam RPG into it… they only do this sort of thing when informants turn on them… or give bad information. So…” He paused long and hard “Dahlia’s betrayed us. The man was full proof… acting exactly how he normally acted when bad news came around… there were no tales nor signs.

rise up to do thy biddingRebus listened to the younger man intently, a growing sense of foreboding shadowing his relief at being back, even before Daniel mentioned Dahlia. He couldn't believe what he was hearing... not Dahlia. She wouldn't double cross him... he'd saved her... rescued her from a life of prostitution and drugs...
For a moment he actually forgot the fact that it was he who had got her started on the drugs in the first place... and he who at every opportunity attempted to lure her into prostitution, even if only for his own benefit. For a moment he was actually disconcerted enough to believe that he had saved her.
"Shit... fuck..." he murmured, as always turning to profanity when vexed. "What... FUCK!"
He spat out his words, getting angrier with every passing second as he thought about his next move.
"I don't fucking believe this..." he said, still talking more to himself than to Daniel. "Where is she now?"
He was ashamed to admit, even to himself, that he was concerned about her wellbeing. It would serve the bitch right if she'd been in the apartment and was now in little bloody pieces all over the parking lot...
It suddenly dawned on him that he had another problem... the apartment block. He would have get over there and assess the damage, see if it was worth saving. He didn't spare a thought for all the people who had probably lost their homes. That was their lookout, not his. He had plenty more buildings... he could charge them an even more exhorbitant rate to rent now that they were destitute.
But more importantly he had to see Dahlia. The girl needed to be taught a lesson... nobody fucks with Donn Rebus and lives.
He looked at the folder Daniel was holding.
"How much do they know?" he asked as he turned to leave the building.

Daniel remained silent for a while. “I don’t know where she is… but she’s either very dead… or in a hospital. Well that is if she was home when it happened Maybe this stunt was to help her leave town during the confusion.” He pondered the question of how much the Russians knew of their drug shipments. “Well… from what I gained those who happened to get it… everything. Though fortunately dead men tend to keep their tongues stilled.” He said with a grim smirk. “I’ve already made sure everyone who came in contact with that file is dead. Which was no easy feat… we lost to men doing so… but the Russians lost eight so I guess the casualties some what work themselves out.”

rise up to do thy biddingRebus was incensed. He couldn't believe that Dahlia of all people would betray him. He had done everything for that girl, and this was how she repaid him... bitch!
"Shit," he said again. "Wait a minute."
He walked back to his office and went inside, sliding behind his desk and bringing up the tracking program on his PC. Frowning, he saw the blip of Dahlia's cell... a couple of miles away... looked like the hospital.
"Okay," he muttered, inwardly breathing a sigh of relief, though he didn't allow himself to acknowledge it.
As he watched though, the tiny red light stuttered, and went out. Rebus blinked, peered at the screen for several seconds, then stood up fast, pushing his chair over in his haste.
"Come on!" he snapped at Daniel, and stormed out of the building.
