Sharp looked at the number, and nodded.

"Got it." he replied.

"I shall call her ASAP. As in... well... now." he said.

"If they truly feel unsafe, and cannot turn anywhere else, that is what WE'RE here for." he assured her.

"Thank you for coming to me with this."

"Well, all right then." Sharp said.

"That's all I needed." he told her.

"This is most definitely within our jurisdiction, no rationalising needed." he reasoned.

"I shall arrange for safe transport here, as well as anything else they need, while I get a team to check this building." he told her further, before checking something on his computer screen.

"I assume your sister is the head of it all? Or at least the one in command currently?" he asked.

"I'll need to speak with them all, but specifically her, if that is the case." he told her, before pausing. "Well, I'll need to speak with the one in charge, is what I'm saying."

"..." Sharp was silent for a moment.

"Ah... right." he said.

"I often forget you even HAVE a sister." he told her.

"Also, only 3 members left of her company? What company?" he asked. "Why do they not feel safe, specifically? Stay here? Why here?" he asked her further. "You know I'm not a callous man, but why is this OUR jurisdiction?" he then inquired.

"I need something to rationalise this in our budget report. You KNOW I'm good with spinning when I need to, but what is stopping your sister and her coworkers from going to the police about this?" he asked.

"As in, the average police? Or are there suspicious circumstances surrounding these disappearances?"

Sharp looked at the message that Arryn had sent, before sighing and sending a response.

So I noticed. it read.

He then shook his head and looked at the door.

"If it's a choice between 5 minutes of my time, and listening to you knocking on the door and asking if I have that five minutes, I choose the former!" he called back to her.

"So come in!" he finished.

He then just shook his head and started to organise the papers on his desk.

The male just smiled.

"If anyone can help us, it's the ones that her sister works for." he assured Yuki.

"Remember when she was saying how her sister told her about a Gorgon that they stopped, and a girl they rescued from being petrified?" he asked. "That was them." he said.

"They're amazing from what I've heard." he continued.

"So if they'll help us, it's a ray of hope. And a bright one, at that." he added.

"You go and call her." he told Kiah.

The male shook his head.

"That'll be expensive." he said.

"I know we're not hard up for cash or anything, and we're all doing well for ourselves, but a hotel would be expensive as heck." he reasoned. "Even a MOTEL could get costly, depending on how long we'd need to stay there for." he went on.

"But... but I can't see any other option..." he admitted.

"We've all been disappearing. One by one. And there's been no evidence as to WHERE or HOW or anything." he lamented, looking around.

"...even now I feel like no matter where we go here, we're not safe..." he mumbled, his nose sniffing the air. "But I can't smell any intruders. There's nobody here but us." he said further.

"But... that can't be right. I can't help but feel there are eyes upon us..."

The two females stood there, on the large stage, in front of hundreds of empty seats. The building was eerily quiet, and there seemed to be a creepy aura around it now. Had been for close to 10 days or so. They weren't saying much to each other, and were looking around, checking for... they weren't sure what. They didn't even know what they were looking for. They didn't see anything, which made the situation even worse. They had no idea what was happening.

However, before one of them could say anything, they heard a male voice call out as footsteps rapidly approached.

"Kiah! Yuki!" the toned, tanned man with short messy black hair and golden eyes called to them as he approached. He then stopped as he got close, heaving some heavy breaths.

"Gordy's gone now as well." he told them.

"...and yes. It's suspicious. It's scary." he then said. "I knocked on his door and got no answer, so I stepped inside." he continued. "I... he's gone. But his stuff is still here." he said further. "His shoes are still here. His clothes. His phone. His wallet." he told them. "All there. It's like he literally just disappeared. Like everyone else. Not even any SCENT of them left." he finished, which was alarming, considering he was a lycan.

"I don't know what's happening here, but this place isn't safe. It can't be. There's just the three of us left." he muttered.

"What do we do NOW?" he asked. "What CAN we do?" he asked further.

"Just... this... I don't... I just..." he then stammered, before shaking his head and hanging it low.

"At least things have been wrapped up and answers have been found." Hal responded.

"That's all I ever ask for, aside from the safety of my agents." he said further.

"Truth be told, I do hope Ally and Alicja can make peace with him." he told her.

"It seems like the incidents were... essentially not his fault. Just his natural instincts coming to a head." he went on.

"Though he WILL need to release his pent-up desires from time to time. But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it."

"Fair." Hal responded.

"Well, I'm glad you seem to have worked things out." he told her.

"And I'm glad he meant no harm." he continued.

"Guess he's one of those demons that somehow generated a soul." he shrugged.

"Rare, and curious."

"Well, we'll prioritise that when we know for sure that he'll be hired." Hal said.

"No sense in getting ahead of ourselves." he reasoned.

"But. Feel better now?" he asked.

"You must. You gave him your cell information." he then muttered.

"I admit, you're a very understanding individual."

"Hmmm." Hal mumbled.

"Ah yes, you are a high elf. And I don't know much about the intricacies of them, I DO know that they are resistant to the demonic charms of an incubus and a succubus." he recalled.

"But, if Virgil ends up working here, it might be worthwhile to show R&D some ways to help him reign in his attraction." he suggested.

"He'd be great for the interrogation department, but I can't have him rendering potentially half of my staff useless." he reasoned.

"As for right now, finishing up your organisation should be top priority." he then chuckled.

"Neither can I, I'll have to speak with them, myself." Hel responded.

"However, as I said, he'll get a proper interview, I'll speak with Alicja and Ally, and if those three events go well, he'll be hired on." he told her.

"...I will need to speak with R&D, though." he then mumbled.

"He has natural pull as an incubus." he continued.

"He'll probably need help reigning it in so that everyone else that could be attracted to him... won't be."

"Quite." Hal responded.

"He seems to be a decent sort. Very much so." he told her.

"And he has the skills for another interrogation and information extraction specialist that we need." he went on.

"Provided Ally and Alicja are okay with him, he's a cinch." he continued.

"Just... yeah, seems like the sort that deserves the chance."

Hal then shrugged.

"Good enough for me." he said.

"However, do be careful." he told her.

"Virgil seemed to have recognised you from your modelling work, and he ended up being harmless enough. But I don't want an actual threat to come to you because of this." he said further.

"Regardless, the answer seems obvious, but I must ask." he continued.

"Would you be comfortable with Virgil working here?"
