"Business." Her answer was curt, not only because she wanted to keep her teeth, but because she was sick of this interaction. She desperately wanted to crawl into her hotel bed and sleep.
After a few seconds, she spoke more: "It was a sit-down. Negotiations were made yesterday between my rivals, associates, and I. What business is it of yours?"

"I, in fact, would like that very much." Her voice could melt ice; it was overly warm and smooth. she had accepted her role as prey and for now would have to work with this...adversary until she could get a chance to break away and call in some goons for backup.
But she didn't underestimate the man in front of her. He probably knew what she was capable of and seemed to know more about her than any government institution that had been tracking her movements for years.
She was nervous, but she wasn't going to allow him to see her sweat anymore than she already had.
She crushed the remainder of her smoke under her pointed heel and stood, one hand on hip with her weight placed on her left leg (allowing her garter to slide out from under her business skirt, another one of her feminine hidden weapons) and looked up at the man and his henchmen.
"Let's go."

Name: Josef Hawke
Age: 22
Appearence: He had moderate length black hair, and is rather tall and well built. He wears a raven eye-mask at all times.
Personality: A plotter and a schemer. He will entwine people in a plan merely by asking them their name. He is loyal to Set, however.
Quirks: Never removes his mask.
"Yes." came a voice from above. It dropped won, appearing behind Annie, a dagger at the ready. It was soon pointed at the base of her neck - one stab and she'd have a damaged nerve center. "I want you to supervise Annie until she is ready to talk." "Very well."
Hawke snapped his fingers, and one of the henchmen walked near to Annie, crouched, and attached something not unlike a bracelet to her leg. Hawke grabbed some of her hair, twising a small sphere into it.
"They are, Miss Annie, sonic grenades and trackers. Nearly active, like the rest of them." said Hawke. the henchmen parted, and Hawke prodded Annie in the back with the knife hilt. "You can go." he said. "Don't forget. Make any form of contact with any agents, and you lose your teeth. And, due to the posotions of the grenade, you'll be knocked unconscience and you'll probably lose a bone or two in your foot."

She was stuck.
There was no way out of this mess.
"Stay optimistic," She thought to herself. "Stay positive."
Happy thoughts weren't working.
With a heavy sigh she turned to leave, but stopped when she reached the end of the alleyway.
"When will I get you see you again?"
This was not said without a bit of venom.

Perhaps this was her just desserts for all of her misdeeds in life. She repressed a wave of misery. This is what she deserved. Oh sure, only moments ago she was proud of herself. Proud of her ability to weasel her way out of every legal action taken against her, from the "mysterious" death of her husband (who had coincidentally died a week after their marriage and the day after she had been introduced to his underworld empire) to her shady tax evasions.
Her husband. What a waste.
She stole a glance at the ring on her left hand (she kept it, not for any sentimental value, but because the thing was the size of her thumb and was fun to flash at anyone she encountered) and allowed her thoughts to wind down. This was a mild form of meditation.
Even the man's somewhat unnerving comment couldn't shake her now. "Flirting?"
She snorted. Oh yes, she loved a man that put a knife to her back and forced her into hotel rooms with her.
Her previous waves of misery collapsed into a flood of panic. Meditation broken, anyone looking at her face out have noticed that her eyes widened with fear. What was he planning to do to her at the hotel room? Oh dear god...
Unwittingly, she had stopped dead in her tracks and felt the knife point in between her shoulder blades. She wished she had more control over her body, but until now she had never experienced this kind of crippling fear.
She whimpered slightly and forced herself to walk, prepping herself for the worse.
It couldn't be anymore scarring than her wedding night.

She wanted to tell him that he didn't scare her and that there was nothing he could do to her.
But none of that was true. She had no one who would miss her at home but her cat. There would be a brutal and bloody gang war as soon as she disappeared, leaving no traces that she even existed or any proof of the effort she put into her careful, meticulous planning and dedication that went into her passion.
She didn't believe him. What information could she have that he'd find valuable?
Somehow she'd managed to walk into the hotel elevator without realizing it. Absent-mindedly she pressed the "14" button and waited in silence, listening to the dull music that emitted from the speakers. Upon reaching her floor, she shuffled out of the elevator and pulled her wallet from where it had been strapped onto her thigh (right next to her magnum, which she made no effort to even reach; with a knife in her back there was little she could try to do). Another flash of her garter, although this time it was unintentional. It seemed to have no effect on this man and, despite herself, she felt a bit miffed. She had always thought herself as wildly attractive, but perhaps like all of her previous sentiments concerning herself, this was another self-delusion.
The key-card slid effortlessly through the panel and a green light indicated for her to enter.
Annie had spared herself no comfort on this trip. She had the largest suite in the hotel; including a full bar, kitchen, jacuzzi bathtub, flat screen TV, and king sized bed.
It all seemed so pitiful now.
Almost as pitiful as her next statement that escaped her lips without thought: "Make yourself at home."
Shit. She hadn't meant to say that.
Shit.

Of course, he wasn't completely aware that Annie had a magnum on her thigh, and he had her back to her.

Kneeling down slowly as though she were preparing to tie her shoe (a poor cover, as she was wearing heels), she slid her hand up her thigh.
One quick flick later and the gun was pointed at his back. She inched up to him until the gun was stuck in between his shoulder blades, in the exact spot where the knife had been.
"Don't move."

Face flushed red from embarrassment, Annie attempted another show of bravado to make up for her faux pas: "Don't even try it, I'm a good shot with a gun. I could take you out as you fly over the balcony."

YOu allow me onto the balcony for a minute, nothing more or less, and I'll give you the deactivating word. Get it?"
Annie gave the man a stare for a full minute.
She knew she couldn't trust him.
But what other choice did she have?
Limply, she dropped her hands to her sides and allowed the gun to fall from her hands and land with a soft "thump" on the rug.
"It wasn't loaded anyway," she said dully. She walked onto the balcony and crossed her hand over her chest, waiting obediently for what he had to say.

He leant against the edge. One push and he'd fall. However, he stood up on it, and said one word. Quite loudly, but it was all the better to milk the melodrama he was excersising at the moment. "Steaming." there was a loud hiss from both grenades. They both slackened, and the hum coming from them stopped.
Hawke didn't stop to admire it. He kicked back with both his heels. He fell away from the balcony, a laughing heard all the way down.

"Don't think you've gotten to me just yet! I won't give you what you want!"
The shouts were therapeutic. After she had screamed herself hoarse, she moved back from the balcony and collapsed at the knees.
She was exhausted and now that her adrenaline rush had dropped, she could barely stand up. She wobbled inside and collapsed onto the bed, bouncing slightly on impact. She wanted, no, NEEDED sleep.
She had already removed her jacket and tie and had begun on unbuttoning her blouse when she remembered the video camera.
Who was even watching her right now?
She laid down, and was out like a light.
---------
Sometime around 10:00 P.M. she awoke, she throat sore and swollen from thirst. Blindly groping in the open room she headed toward the kitchen sink.

"Well? Did you get them?" came the voice from above. "Yes." said Hawke, pushing the magnum from his hand. The injector knelt, and scooped up the gun, before sitting down on a chair behing Hawke. Hawke rubbed his neck, and made a motion to stand up. "Stay still." said the voice. Hawke stopped moving, and releaxed. A hypodermic hit his leg next. He nodded off to sleep.
The person on the chair checked the gun for fingerprints. He found one set. As expected, they were Annie's. The person took several photos of them. He laid the gun to one side, and shut the window.

They had her gun. That was a big problem. Without that she had nothing to defend herself with and there were plenty of people out there who wanted her dead. She had no way of contacting people and was sure the man had set up someone to watch her so she couldn't freely leave her hotel and call for help.
Then there was the camera.
Even in the darkness she knew it was watching her, the little red light gave that away. Until now she had no idea how precious privacy is.
She wondered again who was watching her and what they could want from her.
It could be an organization hired by rival family, but they seemed too...well prepared. And independent. She took another sip from her glass. The question clawed at her thoughts again: What did they want?
At least, she thought with a sigh, she wasn't dead.

10:15PM... Hm. Too long to wait. He rested his hand down, and looked at the gun to his left. The one which had Annie's fingerprints on it. He looked at the sleeping Hawke. The man mumbled in his sleep, and sank slightly deeper into the matress. Set decided to give him half an hour. He flicked on his mobile (or cell, depends on what you want to call it) phone, and called up one of his contacts.

The hall was empty. The only sound that could be heard was the clicking of her heels when she reached the tile in front of the elevator.
A tiny glimmer of hope shone inside herself; could she just leave? Was that all?
But there was still the camera. No, he still had plans for her.
Her stomach growled furiously and she remembered that she'd had nothing to eat since her weak espresso for breakfast. Somewhere from a floor below her, a rich, delicious odor wafter up to her.
Her curiosity peaked, she went to find it.

In one of them, a set of darts were disguised as epi-pens. Set a retainer into his mouth. Sure, while he didn't need it, it would set off the airport metal detector, and would distract attention from the modified handgun hidden in his hair. He spalshed some water onto Hawke. "Wake up." "Mm."

She hiccuped slightly. She couldn't hold even the smallest amounts of liquor without getting tipsy.
Even with a bottle's worth of wine in her, she still felt like she was being watched.

The walls spun around her and made her sick. The only thing that stayed stationary was the red light on the camera.
She waved to it frantically.
"You can't stop me!" she declared, before falling backward onto the bed. Lying on her back, she announced, "I'm going to get my gun back and get YOU back. You'll see!"
She assured this with a firm shake of her fist.
Suddenly a thought seemed to have occurred to her. She rushed from her bed, hastily grabbing her cell phone that had been left on her bedside table.
There was a new number in it.
Without another thought, she called it, giggling a bit as it rang.

Set looked down at his phone. He'd left in on loudspeaker. He switched it back to normal, and held it to his ear. He then put it back in his pocket. "I think Miss. Annie has cabin fever. or it might be the spiked wine." Hawke raised an eyebrow at the remark. "Spiked?" "Oh, nothing deadly, like truth serum or cyanide, as tempting as it was to use both. A slight painkiller, and she'll probably be high for an hour or two. Actually, due to her personality, I doubt she'll be extremely high."

She shook the phone violently as if she were trying to force a confession out of it. "Don't you dare leave me here alone, cooped up like an animal! You tell me what you want from me NOW and then I'll decide whether of not you deserve the information I have stored away!"
Stomping her feet like a child having a tantrum. "Either you come back right now or I leave! There's nothing holding me back from escaping right now is there? Ha! Some "criminal mastermind you are!"
Then, feeling the effects of the drug, she started to scream with every stomp of her foot: "Steaming! Steaming! STEAMING! STEAMING!"

"I can hear you, I'm not completely deaf. The entire point is that you can leave, and get your buddies. Not that you can find us, America's a big country. Oh, and for your information, Stefan used the word 'steaming' to describe letting off anger. Not anything more, or less, then that. Now.. You have seen how effective we are. Would you like this to happen to you again, this time by a force that actually wants your blood? If so, please hang up. If not, please express some from of intrest in hiring us."

A soft chuckle followed a few seconds of silence as she regain control of herself. She was herself again: cool, calculating, deadly.
"See you in a few days, Set. I'll be seeing you...personally."
Pressing the talk button off on her phone, she calmly gathered her items and packed her suitcase. Within fifteen minutes she was at the airport and twenty minutes later she was on a plane home.
She already had her plan and her revenge by the time she sat in her seat on the plane. She let it play over and over in her mind until all the kinks and imperfections had been worked out.
It would be flawless.
