Pulling into the drive of the mansion on her bike, she sped through the mhis ignoring the effects. After the trip to Italy with the entire family, she needed to spend the weekend in relative quiet. John Matthew came by a few times, but otherwise she had some blessed alone time. The family was growing on her, they really were, but a week together was too much. That and she needed to process her mahmen's engagement to Tohr. What she had said to Tohr was true, she couldn't think of anyone better, but it had been a surprise still and it was going to take some getting used to.
Skidding to a stop at the foot of the steps, she waited for V to come out. He was apparently her partner in crime tonight and she figured he would be useful in searching for the new club owner while they were looking for lessers. She hadn't spent much time on that search for Rehv and figured tonight she could kill two birds with one stone.

Emerged from the Pit with his usual black on black on black while being armed to the teeth. As Xhex had shot him a text prior he'd also brought Big Blue Phone with a couple extra tech things concealed within all the leather he wore. Strode over to Xhex, didn't need to ask and had to admit he preferred patrol with her to just about anyone, couldn't reaf her. Nice to get some quiet for a change.
"So, you riding or are we flying." After stopping within a few feet of her bike.
Glanced over then almost gave a sigh of relief that they were going out. Unpacking sounded about as good as being put through a Lassiter induced movie marathon.

Nodding to V, she dropped her helmet on the bike. "Flying, we might need to move quickly from above. Lets start on the Mask roof and work from there. I'll fill you in on our secondary search when we arrive." When Vishous nodded that he got all that, she dematted to the Mask.

Tossed atoms and reformed after Xhex, on the roof? Glanced over, the night warm enough though there was a breeze that everything seemed amplified, and slightly high octain. Made his way to the back end, where the fire escape was, then stopped and turned to her.
"No questions, other than I'm getting there's more here than stress relief." Under his breath.
The club was already starting to pump bass, chatter of the mixed crowd floating up to them along with the music.

Turns from the edge of the roof overlooking the front of the club and the line of people waiting to get in. "You can ask questions, its not a secret or anything, I've just not put much time into it. The brother of an asshole formerly associated with the club has been harassing my employees, trying to force them to work for him in the new club he's opening. I just need to find him and turn him over to Rehv for a little attitude readjustment. Then again, if he puts up a fight, well, I might just have to defend myself with deadly force. And wouldn't that be fun." Flipping her dagger in her hand, she smiled at Vishous. "Want to help while we search for lessers to dust?"

Grinned liking the idea a whole helluva lot, then took out his own dagger and placed it between his teeth while taking out his suped up phone.
"Just need a general descript and last seen. Even a known street name and you know I can track 'em. Let's" drew that out while programming his phone to track "assume he's smart enough to carry an untraceable. Won't be a bunch of those inside so easy peasy."
Couple more minutes and he showed her the screen. Two non-tracks; one staying in the same place and one moving twards the back.
"You wanna take inside and I'll cut off at the pass?" Waited long enough for her to give the info before casting down to rematerialize in front of the idiot.

Not expecting to find the bastard so soon, she grinned and dematted to the alley next to the club. Heading around front, she nodded to the bouncers as she was let in. Weaving through the crowd, she went straight toward the back where V was standing in front of the little prick. "Grady, what a lovely surprise to find you here. Why, this just makes my life so much easier." He turned around at the sound of her voice and had the nerve to smirk at her. "Care to have a little conversation with another employee of the Mask?"

Crossed his arms about his broad chest then gave Xhex the nod. No revealing the secret so the glove would stay on, didn't mean he wouldn't use his size to start walking the male back in the direction of Xhex's private 'screening' room. While he glanced between them, had to smirk himself that the shit really found him to be the bigger threat. After they cattle rounded him in, he closed the door and leaned on it.
"Oh, don't look at me. Show some respect will ya." Kicked his boot out, forcing the chair to face Xhex.
Assumed a bored expression while taking out not a dagger but one nasty looking knife he'd made then casually cleaning his nails with it.

Leaning against her desk, she crossed her arms over her chest. "Yeah, I'm the one you actually need to be concerned with, he's just along for the ride. Now, I have a few questions for you and if you're a good boy, my boss'll have a little chat with you." The guy, raised his eyebrow at her and then actually snorted. I ain't scared of no bitch.
After a second, she started laughing. "Oh, that was great, I needed a laugh. Now, seriously, where are you opening up your new little club?"
Grady glared at her and got to his feet. He was short and stood just an inch or so under her. She could see the indecision loud and clear on his grid, but he figured he was the male and had to see this through now. One corner of her mouth raised in a mock smile as she waited for him to decide his next move. I ain't answering to you. If you know what's good for you, you'll back off.
She snorted and before he could react, she had a dagger under his throat. "No, boy, you are mistaken. You do answer to me. I have no qualms about slitting your throat and my friend over there can vouch for that. Now, tell me where your new club is going to be."

Gave a knowing nod when the male's head whipped back at her declaration, also smirking. Raised his gloved hand, pointed to the corner of his tattoo'd eye then back to Xhex. When he turned back to Xhex, extended one leg to kick the chair back. Stayed quiet even while the seat hit the backs of Grady's knees, hard.
Went back to just standing by the door, Xhex had this, no need for him to do more than be a big, leather clad, barrier of muscle should the fucker decide to act a fool. Even though that was something he'd actually like to see her in action. Was a lot like watching a large predator snag some mentally deficient rodent for a meal.

Placing a finger to the center of Grady's forehead, she shoved and he fell into the chair. He was pale, but without the dagger at his throat he seemed to be gaining his cocky attitude back. He was dumber than she thought. Not that its any of your business, but the site of Zero Sum. Now, let me the fuck out of here. He started to get up and she stepped in his path. "I'm not done with you Grady." His lips turned up into a sneer and he reached for the dagger she set on the desk. She knew his intentions before he did them and let him take the dagger. She was curious to see what he would do with it. He obviously thought it was her only weapon.
Letting him grab her around the waist, he turned them toward the door and put the dagger to her throat. Facing Vishous, she smirked, letting him know she knew Grady's game and had it under control. Now, you're going to let us walk right out of here, aren't you? He addressed V, but she didn't plan on letting him "walk" anywhere.

Tilted his head, acting for a moment as if he was considering the demand. Funny this slime had no clue he was dealing with two straight up killers. Flicked his attention from Grady to Xhex and addressed her.
"That's a good one, I got jokes too but most are borrowed from a friend of mine. Tell ya what, I'll just hold up the door and watch you do whatever this is. True." Lifted a brow, his smirk turning dangerous.
Without shifting, really moving at all, brought the knife back to his hand. Using the serrated side, started sliding it along his own palm. Zero Sum, some damn good memories there. Just like that move Grady just pulled would turn him into. No more than a story to tell and past tense weasel.

Taking Grady's arm and pulling lightly, like she was trying to get away, she smiled when he laughed. The loser actually thought he had her. Comical really. Giving V a wink, she grabs Grady's arm tighter, leans back as far as she can even though he's behind her and then lunges forward, pulling Grady over her head so he landed on his back. While he'd been flying, she'd wrapped her hand around the dagger, easily pulling it from his shocked grasp. Kneeling next to his head, the dagger was poised over his heart. "Big mistake, little man. You know, you're brother was an asshole too." His eyes locked on her cold and brittle gray ones. His grid finally registered the absolute fear she'd been waiting for. "There it is. So glad you have grasped the gravity of your situation. Took you long enough. Now that you are ready to listen, you're going to stop harassing my girls. Next time I hear about you physically abusing anyone, you won't even know I'm there when I cut your throat. Understood?"

Having stayed impassive during the one, two, switcheroo as Xhex spoke he traded the knife for his own dagger. Then, as if things weren't comical enough, he smelled it, the 'tough guy' had pissed himself. Closed his diamond eyes briefly as he got bombarded with thoughts running along the lines of fear with trickles of memories being run through in a jumble. Flipped his dagger hilt over blade as he started blocking that crap out. If he laughed now it'd either sound evil or take away from the effect.
"Yo, I'd move my knee. He's piddling, though thinking he should clean that up with his back." Dry as a bone.
Sure he'd like to be the one to snatch Grady up by his button down and play janitor with him. The fact that he was still considering sending someone else in for some of the more beautiful girls here firing him up. Still, this was Xhex and Rehvenge's domain and more likely than not he'd 'accidentally' loose the glove first.

Killing the little prick sounded appealing, but she already had piss to get cleaned up, she didn't want to try and get blood out of the carpet too. He wasn't done here and she knew it, but Rehv could put a wrench in his club plans, of that she was sure. This was his warning and now they would go through other avenues to keep him down. Sighing, she hefted him to his feet and glared at him. "I'm sending the cleaning bill to you." Nodding to V, he opened the door and she pushed Grady through and to the back door. Shoving him into the door, it opened and he fell into the alley. "Get lost, parasite."

Had stepped aside then turned as the scum bucket with a dark patch on black jeans scurried back to his f__t. Understood what had been said, though the pos needed a few more helpful tips.
"Check it, after you buy some diapers and maybe a damn rattle you need to rethink what you just heard." Thumb pointed to Xhex next to him, his voice bordering on dangerous. "That idea you got, with Leta? Dump it because I can promise you if you think she even broke a sweat just now, it was warm up. True."
Gripped the door, eyes flashing before he let it close with a loud clink of the internal bar lock. Giving his full attention to one of the most bad ass females he'd ever known, the humor came back almost like switching channels.
"Gotta say, he's far from smart. I'd have tossed him a coloring book but doubt he'd stay in the lines." Produced an extra wife beater from the inside pocket of his jacket and handed it to her. "Question, did that just serve to make you want to slice and dice slayers or is it just me?"
When she gave him a look like he'd lost his mind sometime during all that, just nodded once.
"Point taken, I'll just do a once through then go on out. Places to go, whiteheads to pop." Little too enthused but he wanted action, pronto.
Seperated from her, each taking different routes down the corridor then did a covert visual check of the place. None of the same girls were there from a few years ago, thank fuck. Not that the Mask wasn't known for longevity of employment, just luck. After a triple vodka straight up, he was out the back. Night young, went from rooftop to ground in search of a fight.
