"Alright, alright, you win this time." Colin said giving his sister a wink. He knew that their father was about to side with Tori on this one. Vincent chuckled at them, "easy peezy. Sure, but next time maybe try not to cause any deaths, Colin. Because sure you took care of the trio, but what about those that may be wondering what happened to them tomorrow." It was more a rhetorical statement as nothing in their world was ever easy peezy.
"Tell me how has business been? I have been following the wire transfers and seems like things are good. Any potentials currently waiting? Your mother is ready for a new slave. Hers has become old and is ready for retirement."

New Scarlett MacAleister
The redheaded vampire stood astride her motorcycle, having been parked along the side of the street near the Midnight Club as she reminisced about her time with Tempest. With the phone raised to her ear, she heard the electronically altered voice offer her a job, immediately raising red flags for a couple of reasons.
One -- The phone number generally in circulation for her detective business was not her cellphone. It rang to a landline in her office at her main home and Snow, her assistant, generally screened calls and contacted her to discuss potential clients.
Two -- Why was someone trying to disguise their voice? Unless it was recognizable to Scarlett.?
Three -- She receives this mysterious call just minutes after Tempest made her presence known through another call in which she appeared to threaten revenge upon the redhead.
Scarlett was quiet for a moment, then responded, knowing full well this might be a trap. "What job? Who is this?"

Scarlett was ripped back from her memories and sensations of the past with a faint gasp as she let go of the memory of being held against the wall by Tempest and used. It was her phone, ringing in the pocket of her black leather jacket.
She shook of the sensations she'd been recollecting in her mind and retrieved the phone. The phone number was blocked, but then most of the people who called her used blocked numbers, so it was not unusual. She keyed the phone to accept the call and held it to her ear.
"Yes," she said, voice devoid of emotion...

She wanted access to her whole neck as she made the taller woman begin to sink lower so that she could devour her.?At some point in time, she had backed Scarlett off the dance floor so that her back rested up against the wall.
