What was he hoping for when he asked the question, that maybe they were working together on the strength of what they once were to each other? That maybe because she was their sire maybe she felt the same kind of obligation to help Eli that he did…despite the distance, time and animus. But her tone… the abruptness of her words. Her threat.? He frowned.?
He turned to her. “Bring me into who Hollywood? Did you forget who I am? My rank? Why I am here? I don’t report to you or take my order from your Prince. And the fact that he almost got himself killed to someone like me simply means he a piss poor Prince with bad security.
"I don’t take kindly to threats Hollywood. I agreed to work with you for one reason and it wasn’t because of your job. And if I’m not mistaken before we drove here I specifically asked you if you were prepared to turn your back on that job. I can see now you’re not. Which means we have a conflict of interest. Good luck with your investigation Hollywood. This is where you and I part ways.” He said.
(Hollywood)
Hollywood gave him a shrug. He was right, on all accounts, except for maybe the bad security. She didn't say anything else, figuring there was nothing else to say. She turned and kept going on her hunt for evidence of where Eli may have gone. She had a job to do and no matter who they were to her, she was going to do her job.
Soon she was upstairs and heightened her senses to begin her search for where Eli had been. Soon she had her evidence and called the Prince to inform him of what she had found.
