The flames danced inside the fireplace, and Alexander watched almost in a hypnotized daze. Lifting his glass of bourbon, Alexander took a sip and looked at his golden Rolex watch. Standing, Alexander grabbed his cane and hobbled towards his office, passing through a hallway of self-portraits, certificates, and copies of bills he had passed as Governor.
Making his way into his office, Alexander shut the door behind him and locked it tight. He then hobbled over to the intercom system he had installed during his first term and activated it.
"Jeffrey, get the limo ready. I'll be making an important phone call..." he said quietly with his thick Scottish accent, "No interruptions." Alexander left before waiting for a reply. Jeffrey was a butler and personal assistant to Alexander who had been with him in service since he was first elected Governor. Alexander considered Jeffrey loyal, mainly because he's a bloody coward.
Walking over to his desk, Alexander rested his cane against the dark-wood stained desk and sat down slowly, flipping up his laptop screen and navigating through a list of contacts. Alexander accessed FBI records and searched through the contacts listed in alphabetical order.
Alexander stopped when he came to a name that made him think twice. Alexander picked up hi phone, and pressed enter on his keyboard. The phone started to ring. After several seconds, he heard the phone be answered. It was quiet for a few moments, Alexander hesitated for a few seconds longer.
"Hello sonny", Alexander said with a conniving grin, revealing his pearly teeth.

Dante was sitting alone in his apartment working on something for Vaughn regarding his latest case, he'd been sitting in the dark as he tapped mercilessly at his laptop, it was going to be a long night and he wasn't any social contact until the morning when he'd meet with Logan in his office. Stark was working on a secret document for Vaughn that heavily featured Stark's involvement within the hunters and exactly who he was outside of the compound. Stark opened his can of Coke as he waited for the email to send.. He'd spun around on his chair and looked at his TV as he flicked onto the news channel to check for any potential leads for a hunt.
Dante switched over to Comedy Central and tried shifting through some programmes to get his mind out of work mode and into relaxation, he was always tense as if he knew what was coming next.. Out of the blue his phone rang louder than a siren.. Stark hesitated as he clicked the answer button. "Hello Sonny.." That Voice was like a dagger in his eardrum.. Dante calmly breathed down the phone and even after all these years he'd remembered that voice.. And the feelings of hate flooded back..
"Wow.. Alexander.. The man who's not fit to be a father, " Dante said not even letting the man knew he got under Dante's skin so easily. "If i were you , I'd hang up this phone and never call me again.. But you don't listen so either you want something or you want me to use my skills i learnt in the Army to good use and track you down you slimy corrupt bastard." Stark felt a lump in his throat as he waited for his Father to reply to him.

"Now is that any way to speak to your father?" Alexander licked his lips and leaned back in his chair, pulling out a a Luger and checking the ammo inside.
"It has come to my attention..." Alexander said slowly as he pulled out the ammo clip, putting in a fresh one. "That you have allied yourself with the Hunters. I thought I told you strictly to stay away from them?"
Sliding the gun into his suit, Alexander stood and grabbed his cane, hobbling over towards the window, pulling the curtain with two fingers just to see Jeffrey pulling out the limo from the garage.
"I can make people disappear if I want to. Whether you think of me as a father or not, I have kept you safe. But if you don't do as I ask, your files will be made public and you will be compromised. Do we have an understanding sonny?"
Alexander hobbled away from the window and back towards his desk. Lifting up his cane, Alexander pulled on the handle and unsheathed a long, silver black with a thin gold etch down the middle.
"I wouldn't want there to be an...accident" Alexander said as he let out another grin, revealing a full set of teeth. "--The Hunters are criminals sonny...If you don't comply you will meet a criminals fate."

The Stark men where never on good terms and here Dante's father had the outrageous nerve to call Dante and threaten his life decisions, He paused for a moment before bringing the phone back to his face; "I'll talk to you how i bloody well want, I'm a grown man.. Dante arose from his chair walking towards his apartment window checking for any black sedans outside in case his father had sent men around to his place.. Stark pressed the phone to his ear once again.. "And don't question my professional work, I save people's lives while you sit behind a desk and ruin them with your corrupt government.. " Stark's face dropped when his Father mentioned leaking his files.. Stark walked over to his bookcase and grabbed one of his Red books opening it. It'd been hollowed out to make room for his Jericho 941 Handgun. Dante checked it was still loaded before moving back to the window and peering outside.
Dante didn't take well to threats he was a trained professional and his father was nothing but words, "Whatever accident may happen, just know that killing me would be one of the last things you'd ever do.. Not even the grave will keep me down. " Dante looked out the window once more, his father had just threatened to take him down if Stark didn't quit his job as Hunter..
"I'm not going to quit.. I save people's lives and that's more than you do" He finished speaking but he knew his father would have some kind of words to try and scare Dante into quitting and he wondered what it'd be this time, Maybe he'd actually send some of his goons round to kidnap Dante and bring him to have an audience with his father.. But that was pushing it to the extreme.

Alexander shook his head and let out a scoff, "You were always the dramatic" he said under his breath. Walking over towards the back wall of the room, Alexander placed his hands on a picture frame of him, his son, and his wife when Danticus was merely four or five years old. Rubbing the golden etched picture frame, Alexander let out a deep sigh into the phone.
"I've done a lot for you sonny, maybe not as much as you'd like. But you wouldn't be half the man you are today if I hadn't of done what I had. You may think you play "hero", but at the end of the day I keep it a secret and act as a human ambassador. Do you think the dogs and the bats would simply leave us alone If I don't do the things I do?" Alexander licked his lips and pulled at his tie. Walking back towards his desk and picking up a glass and a bottle of scotch, pouring himself a large glass.
He took a sip and let out a mild 'ah'. "You really think I would kill you? I do what I do for your protection boy. You'd be safer behind bars than you would be running with those fanatics."

Dante sighed as his father delivered the ultimatum to him, regardless of what his father though.. Dante always thought of doing what was right; "Well then Dad i guess you're going to have to put me behind bars because i can tell you right now if those goons outside my apartment come in closer i will shoot their dicks of.. Now I'm afraid you're going to have to send me to jail because I'm not giving up my job Dante sighed as he slouched down on his sofa he wasn't afraid of Alexander he knew the man was similar to himself and that's what made this more troubling fighting yourself. Dante looked around his apartment for something to comfort him in this time but all he had was the phone.
"Well i don't suppose you've got anything else to talk to me about.. Because I'm going to empty a vampire nest tomorrow.. I need you to talk right now.." Dante smirked he loved it when he knew he would push Alexander's buttons because he couldn't hurt Dante over the phone it was a priceless moment for him that made it all the better when he knew his father would never make Dante disappear.

"Well you see son" Alexander said with a snarl, "That's just not going to work for me. You seem to believe you are going to walk on out of this. I have connections, son. You really believe you'll make it out with no repercussions?" Alexander listened but only heard breathing.
"Shoot all you want. I can guarantee I don't have any men near you for miles. Is paranoia already getting to you son? You know they say paranoia is a symptom of fear."
Alexander shoved his sword back inside of the cane holster and started to walk back to his desk. He let out a mild chuckle, "Vampire nest eh? It's not wise to tell everyone of your plans. Look sonny, I got nothing more to say to you. You have three days to leave the Hunters, or I will go after you. By the way, with all of your military training you would think you would stay away from windows. Never know who's looking in on you" Alexander said silently and he hung up the phone.
Walking out of the room and down the stairs, Alexander was greeted by Jeffrey. "I was just about to get you sir", Jeffrey said.
"Thank you Jeffrey, I have lots of appointments to make today."
