He nodded, "Exactly." He pictured the pieces, paintings he had stolen a glance at while in the evidence room grabbing materials before leaving. Even now he wanted to shudder, to vomit. He held it all in check and followed into the apartment, standing aside so Nina could rove around again.

"Always one of her problems...over confidence" she murmured. The apartment was almost the same as the last...down to the simplistic arrangements.
"Yes, she's working by a pattern,kill wise, but she's flitting randomly from place to place. Her victims would be in peak condition, none over weight or too slender, that makes for rich blood."
She froze as something occurred to her "Miller...who is her controller now?" kneeling, she picked up a thin silver wire..part of an ear piece "And why were they still in contact?"

He stepped forward, reaching out for the wire. "I wasn't aware that they still were." He searched through his mental records, "Hammer, Hammer was her controller. He was unavailable for question...dammit." he cursed, remembering the excuses and arguments involving him and Clydell over the disappearance of the controller.

Tara shoved the body bag into the freezer, kept just for that purpose, then began washing her hands. "Don't want to stain the canvas, after all," she cheerfully relayed to her potted plant, "and must work now, before Hammer gets home."

Nina grimaced "Hammer. Wonderful. He was screwed up when I was recruited...and they actually gave him a runner...let me guess...he's dissapeared too?"
She walked into the bathroom without waiting for an answer, she already knew it after all. "Tell me, when her hunter status was reactivated, who was she dispatched against?"
She idly noted the small details that any bathroom ocntained...hairs, dust, soaps...upon closer inspection the hairs were of two completely diffrent lengths and colors. Hammer she thought, nearly biting her lip through as she tried to control her temper.
Tara alone was one thing...Tara and Hammer, that was a whole new ballgame.

He shook his head, "I wasn't able to get that information before I left. Like I said, didn't even know Hammer was with her again."
"Damn that Clydell, this just got a whole lot more complicated, in more ways than one."

Elric Hammer whistled as he turned the key, just to let Tara know that it was him and not someone needing to be killed. "I'm home hun!" he called, setting down the bags he was carrying.
He walked back into her work room and smiled, tossing thick black hair over his shoulder as he squatted down beside her. He looked at her newest piece adn stroked her cheek "Coming along quite well...have you eaten?" he asked softly, true worry for her health foremost in his mind.

She leaned slightly into his touch, smiling at him. "I forgot," she admitted. "I had to get supplies, and then I wanted to get this painting done..."

Nina frowned "I knew I should have killed him when I got the chance...I just couldn't seem to care that much at that point though. I'm sorry I didn't."
She glanced around the apartment, one small corner of her being was intensely glad that Tara was able to be happy and be with someone special to her...
And then she remmebered exactly what Tara was now. She wasn't the little sister only a year younger than her that she had helped train...she wasn't a partner or a friend...she was a monster. Just like me
She shook her head. Not like me...I'm a depressed, controlled monster that has morals. Must remember that... "Did she receive any mail once the apartment was raided? Her buyer may have tried to contact her..."
*****
Elric smiled gently and helped her up "Let's get you fed love. We can't have you passing out on your painting again..." he chided.
"And after that, a bath and a movie...I know you want to finish it, but even you have to take a break! I miss curling up with you and laughing at stupid actors..." he managed to look like a sad puppy despite the wicked twinkle in his eyes.

Tara wrapped her arms around him, resting her chin on his chest and looking up at Hammer's face. "I don't know...I'm awfully busy...you'd have to make it worth my while," she teased.

Hammer chuckled "Now how could I do that?" he teased, drawing food out of the bags. He set out the meal on the table, all of it still steaming gently.
"Protein, prepared quite well, not from a can..." he said as he seated her with a flourish, hand lingering in her hair. "Eat up and I'll run the bath...and I bet you'll love the movie I rented..."
He walked softly into the bathroom, starting the taps running and giving her just enough time for curiosity to do it's job before stepping back in and sitting down to eat as well.

Tara glared playfully at him. "Don't think you're getting away that easily," she said, as firmly as she could, around bites. "I'll think of something, after all."

Elric crossed his eyes and stuck out his tongue for just a brief second. "I'm sure you will, I'm yours to command...after the movie" he said, bowing slightly over his plate.
"Just say the word love and I'm yours, a male Venus to pose perhaps? A massuese? A punching bag even...after I get my cuddle time..."

"Baby." Tara rolled her eyes, finishing up and cleaning off the table. "I'll let you know after your 'cuddle time.' What movie?" She leaped onto the couch, bouncing slightly.

He melted over the back of the couch, wrapping her in his arms as he stretched out. "Baby? YOu know you love it...else I'd be dead by now"
He playfully bit the back of her neck and hit the play button on the remote. Resident Evil started playing and he snuggled down, resting his chin on the top of her head. "Besides, if I wasn't here to make you take a break every once in awhile we wouldn't knwo you were ticklish, or that you like Spirited Away or..."
