Gestava stepped out from the Omni-med building into the chill grey morning. Around him, the city of Rome was just starting to awake. Lights flicking on in the windows of the highrises as the citizens woke up for another dull day at the office.
He flexed his right hand in front of him and inspected it carefully. Only a few hours before, it had been a blood caked stump barely recogniseable as a hand. Now it was completely healed, with not so much as a scar visible. Omni-med had some skillful surgeons...if you had the money to pay them, at least. Though he had barely been able to hide a smirk, when they had asked him how big the grimwolf that attacked him had been...
He didn't blame the person responsible for his injury. Indeed, he was more to blame himself that she was. He had not been prepared for the severity of the attack...something was different about her. Gestava had seen...her kind before, but this one seemed more...crude somehow. And yet more humanlike in some way. He suspected she was a child from one of the original experiment...
Gestava frowned. She was indeed different from her cousin. Different and yet very similar. He knew the smart thing to do would be to cut contact with this girl before he got too involved.
He also knew he couldn't do that. He was too attracted...to intriqued...and he saw potential in her...No, he couldnt turn back now.
Pulling his armored gloves over his hands, he started his walk back to his apartment...but if he was going to proceed, it wouldn't hurt to be prepared...He tapped his comm unit. "Hello? It's Gestava. I'm going to need you to get me a few things again...What? No..not another bottle of wine. I'll send you a list...oh...and I'll need access to all omni-med records on the "Nosferatu" project. Yes...your regular fee. Have it ready by evening and I'll throw in a 50% bonus...Very well. A pleasure doing business with you".
Gestava reached his apartment and tapped in his key code absently. His mind was busy considering his next step.
