Like a starving man, Mercurio lapped at her hand with desperation. But, he wasn't greedy, in less then a minute, he stopped, "Yeah, that's the stuff." He said with blood on his face and groaned a bit. He didn't seem to get any better on the outside, but the bleeding did seem to stop for now. "Thanks a lot doll. You're a life saver. I really owe you one okay, if you need anything just let me know." He took a moment then heard the phone buzz again. He reached over and hit the red button. "Yeah?" He asked.
A familiar voice chimed in, "It's me boss man."
"Alright, come in, I've got a new task for you, and this time with some help." Mercurio replied and buzzed Spike in.
"Spike's a good guy, by the way. A lot of vamps don't like him, cause of the whole apocalypse thing, but lots of you are starting to think twice since the war started." Mecurio finished what he was talking about before the two heard Spike running in.
"What the fuck?!" He said rushing up to check on Mercurio, half pushing Lyn out of the way, not initially noticing who she was.
Mercurio sputtered as he was jostled, "It's alright kid. Chill okay?" He coughed again and caught his breath, "I'm okay, this nice girl here just saved my life. Lyn, this is Spike, or so he calls himself."
"Lyn?" He said a bit confused at first glance, but then it came together after he got a good look at her, "Oh, your from the bar..." He chocked up for a moment, "Oh... you were..." He took a couple steps back and looked like he was suppressing some harsh emotions. "Well, alright..." He looked back at Mercurio, "What's she doing here?" He said sounding a bit put off by her presence.
Mercurio raised an eyebrow, even in his state he noticed the awkwardness, "Have you two met? Well, small world. Anyways, we have more pressing matters. You two have got to head down to the pier and get the Astrolite. Those bastards I made a deal with stabbed me in the back and took the stuff and the money. You guys gotta get it back, everything. The Astrolite and the money. I know you guys probably aren't up for killing anyone, but they need to be taught a lesson. If not tonight, soon. Once I get in touch with some tougher pals, they're done."
"What the hell happened, Mack? I was just supposed to get it from you, those guys did this to you? Crap..." He looked worries and took a few breaths trying to calm himself down, "Okay, I guess we don't have a choice." He looked at Lyn for a moment, but didn't say anything.
