Party Crashers [Blaney/Vampire Market Arc]

“We don’t know how high up in the organization Thomas is. He might have a boss, and if he’s more appealing, you could skip over Thomas. It’s an obvious power move; no one would question it. I’d rather you not have to.. be with any of them.”
Conrad reached an intersection and took a left, then proceeded to take a number of confusing turns, doubling back at least once to see if they were being followed before heading in the direction of the warehouse.
“As far as turning into a monster, the fact that you feel horrible about this is a good sign it won’t happen.”
“I’d rather not fuck any of them either. But, if I can manage to find shit out by using a very age-old and well-proven tactic that women have used for centuries, then by hell I will do it.” Brianna gave Conrad a small smile at his last comment. “And thank you, Conrad. That means a lot.”

“A little sick, to be honest. I haven’t done a real hunting job since… in months. But I knew it would be at least that bad if not worse before I agreed to help. What about you? You had it harder.” Conrad drove in the general direction of “across town” while Blaney texted.
“I didn’t touch my drink. I feel horrible for even taking it. I’ve fed before, but the people have always been willing and fully in control of their minds… I just… Conrad. If you ever see me heading that way, turning into one of them. Do me and the world a favor and stake me.” Besides, there were better ways to hunt. Like fucking someone and doing a little blood play. “I wish we could’ve saved her. But at least we can make sure that when we’re done, she can get a funeral.”
Blaney turned and sat in her chair properly and sighed. “I also have a feeling I’m going to need to fuck that Thomas asshole at least once. Vampires are sexual by nature. It would be seen as strange to not screw him. I’ll try to avoid it if I can, though.”

Blaney’s purchases had followed their new owner out, the attendant opening the door and letting the two get into the backseat as the witch placed herself in the passenger seat next to the driver. The corpse was quickly loaded into the trunk before the employee came over.
“Mr. Collins thanks you for your patronage, Miss Blaney-“
“That’s Mrs.”
“My apologies. At any rate, he thanks you for your patronage and wishes you both a good evening.” The attendant gave a nod and went inside, not even bothering to speak to the thrall.
Conrad climbed into the car and started the engine.
“Where first?”
He pulled out onto the road and started driving just so they could get some distance between themselves and the club.
“We should probably text Nameless and Hanna and ask them to meet us at the warehouse… We’re gonna need their freezer for the body. Let’s drive around for a bit though. If anyone’s watching, we can feign getting lost later and missing the appointment.” Brianna looked over her shoulder at the enthralled people she’d bought as she dug her phone out with a free hand.
“And we’re gonna have to send Nameless to Wal-mart or some shit for cots. I don’t think the basement’s completely ready yet. Anyways, how’re you feeling, Achenleck?”

exagentachenleck:
No problem. Conrad took Blaney’s arm dutifully and led her out to the car. Besides, he plays up being superior way too much even for a vampire; he’s probably compensating for something. He opened the car door and offered his hand again to help Blaney in.

Conrad ran through a few options. The best he could come up with was another pressing engagement.
He looked around the room for a clock. Luckily one hung in a corner behind the bar.
“Mistress. Forgive me, but you asked me to remind you of the hour. Your appointment with the art dealer is in twenty minutes, and his office is across town.”
“Thank you, my dear. I’m sorry, Thomas, but perhaps another time? This party was a little spontaneous for me.” Brianna pressed a kiss to the vampire’s cheek and churred.
“It was. So sorry to have sprung that on you last moment. But I never did get your phone number.”
Blaney pulled out one of her business cards out of her bra (it looked good to own a business), and smiled. “This has my cell on it. Do call me? For now, my dear thrall and I must get going.”
“Indeed.”
“Would you mind sending some muscle out to my car with the body? Lucky can’t tend to me while carrying it, now can he?” That and the witch wasn’t sure Conrad could carry the poor girl with one arm.
“For all you’ve invested tonight, but of course.” Thomas directed a member of security to grab the woman’s bagged corpse to bring out. “I’ll be in touch.”
“Good to know. Come, Lucky~. I do believe we have some art to purchase.” Blaney bent her arm for Conrad to take, wanting him to escort her out. Her untouched drink was left on the table as she used her free hand to smoke.
Thank you thank you thank you.

exagentachenleck:
Blaney. Is there a way we could take the body with us without looking suspicious? This organization’s been around a while without police catching on; that body will never be found.
Maybe…
Thomas had been about to speak when Brianna cut him off. “Could I perhaps have the body?”
“Pardon?” Thomas gave Brianna an odd glare, one that suggested suspicion.
“Could I have the body, please? My Euro eats for ten at every meal and I could use a way to feed him. I could perhaps invest another grand if you’d be willing to freeze a few bodies for me and allow me to feed the wolf with them? I’m trying to retrain him to eat my scraps rather than all the food for my servants.”
The look of suspicion quickly left, a wide smile now upon Thomas’ face. “That would actually be a splendid thing~. Usually we just put the bodies in an incinerator.” Thomas turned to the barkeep and snapped his fingers. “Get James to put that sack of meat in a bag and put it in a cooler. A doggy bag for our lovely investor’s pup.”
Blaney smiled and began writing out another check. “Thank you~. This will be so much more efficient for me.”
“Anything for an investor. Now then, would you perhaps like to stay for the rest of the sale? I know you’ve made your selection and invested, but perhaps you and I could…,” Thomas pressed a hand to the small of the witch’s back in a seductive manner, “…get to know one another a little better~.”
Conrad. Got any ideas on a good reason to say ‘no’? While I normally love a good lay, I’m not really interested.

Conrad cupped the back of Blaney’s leg, and just for show took the time to lightly kiss her knee as he ran his hand down to her shoe and took it off. He pulled the money out and offered it up before sliding her shoe back on for her.
Brianna took the money with a smile and lowered her foot and held out the other one, the process being repeated. The vampiress waited for Achenleck to finish and stand before wrapping an arm around him and pressing a soft kiss to his lips. “I’m pleased, my dear pet. I’ll have to reward you further when we get home~.”
The witch then turned to Thomas and held out her now counted money. “A receipt, and then you may have your money and a check for my purchases.”
“But of course, my dear Brianna.”
The vampire took out a receipt pad and wrote down her investment and purchases as Blaney wrote out a check. Thomas handed over her receipt and the money and check were exchanged.
“Wonderful. My servant and I will certainly dine well for the next couple of days.”
A loud thump came from the bar, the keep calling out to Thomas. “Hey boss. We need a new body for refreshments. Whatcha want me to do with the empty sack here?”

exagentachenleck:
You’re evil. I’ll play along, but no one finds out I did this, understand?
Obviously Conrad had no choice but to get down on his knees as ordered and retrieve Blaney’s money. What he meant by “this” was the way he did it. He made a slight show of running his hand up Blaney’s leg to her garter and retrieving the bills there. He handed them up before sliding his hand further under her skirt until he found the bills tucked into her waistband.
Both shoes? Conrad asked as he offered up the money.
Understood. I’m going to do the same thing to Nameless at some point just for fun. And yes, both shoes.
Blaney hummed in approval as she began counting the cash. She needed a total of $5,800. She’d packed five grand, but the other eight hundred would have to be via check. The witch lifted one foot slightly off the floor and held it out to the hunter.
“Very good, my dear Lucky~.”

exagentachenleck:
You’re right. I’m sorry. He could only imagine how it must have hurt for Blaney to tell him they had no options.
Conrad pointed at the man and then the woman. “You and you. Come with me.” He unhooked one of the ropes for them to step through, rehooked it, and led them across the club to Blaney. He gestured to the place he had been standing previously, directing the two of them.
“Your purchases, Mistress.”
Thomas looked the two ‘cattle’ over. “The price for the two of them is $800. It’s $300 for the obvious male and $500 for the androgynous one. He’s a bit pricier since the androgynous ones are popular.”
“Quite alright. Allow me to invest and then I’ll purchase these two.” Blaney began to seductively pull money from various places. Her bra, her purse, and then stopped when she reached for her garter and panties. “Lucky~. Be a dear and fetch the rest of my money from me. You’ll need to be on your knees~”
They’re in my undies, shoes, and garter. I would apologize, but I’m not entirely sorry.
It was power play, clearly showing she was dominant over the hunter. Other thralls with their mistresses had been touchy feely, she’d seen it in the corners of her eyes as she’d spoken with Thomas.

It’d have to be someone strong-willed enough that they’re fighting the glamour. Do you think someone new or someone who’s been previously fed on would have a better chance of knowing something? Conrad thought. At the last moment his thoughts strayed to the person behind the bar, but he nipped it in the bud. It would be suspicious to want to buy someone half drained.
Maybe, though… He’d have to think about it. He was already heading over to the roped off area to inspect the trade goods. Even as he looked each of these people in the eyes, steadying himself against the thought that some of them would likely die soon, he kept thinking about the person being bled right now. Could Blaney say she just particularly liked the taste and wanted the rest, like a half-tasted bottle of wine? They would have to make a purchase first. Maybe that on top of the investment would compel Thomas to give Blaney a little gift or a discount.
But was it too suspicious? Conrad reached out to check the wrists of a couple potential people.
I’ve got one man with bite marks, and one androgynous person without. Your call.
We can’t get the person behind the counter. As much as I want to save her, Conrad, it would look too strange to try and buy a person who’s already half-dead. The girl’s already down too many pints to live. I’m sorry, Conrad.
“I wonder, could I buy more than one? I have a servant, a former fledgling of Toni Ipres, who could use something to eat as well.” Blaney put a hand on Thomas’ arm, somewhat flirtatious, somewhat insinuating she would definitely be interested in bedding the man.
“How kind of you to take him in after the death of his sire. She was a good woman. At any rate, so long as you can pay for both, I see no reason why you can’t.”
“Let me have my thrall bring my two picks here so I can get my total then. Lucky, come as soon as you’ve found two suitable bodies.” Brianna made a gesture to Conrad to bring the two he’d picked to her. This was turning out worse than she’d thought it would.
