Kyle had just gotten off the phone with his Captain, Kyle had told him that he wanted to check out the new vampire club Ambrosia. Kyle's Captain had cautioned him about going alone, but they still hadn't assigned Kyle a partner. He assured his Captain that he was only going to scope things out.
Kyle had parked his car two blocks away from the club and walked the rest of the way there. Kyle hadn't wanted the valets on a vampires payroll to be in his car, well not actually his car but the departments.
Kyle approached the bouncer, bypassing the line. "Name?" asked the large man, Kyle wondered if he was human or not. "I'm not sure I want to give it", Kyle replied. The bouncer glared at Kyle and said, "If your not on the list, get to the back of the line", he said the last part with a nod of his head. Kyle felt like being direct tonight, he moved his jacket aside to reveal his shield strapped to his belt, "I believe I'm listed under the initials J.F.P.D." The bouncer must have been new Kyle thought and human, because he looked around unsure of what to do for a second before letting Kyle through. Then again the whole club was new wasn't it Kyle reminded himself.
Kyle entered the double doors to the club and looked around, ostentatious he thought, but what do you expect from vampires. He looked over the tables and booths, and shot a glance at the dance floor. He wondered to himself if the humans here were here because they liked flirting with danger, or if they trusted the vampires. Maybe some of them want to become vampires he thought.
Kyle decided to head over to the bar, he flagged down a bartender and said, "Could I get a water?" The bartender responded, "What do you want, a Perrier... Dasani?" Kyle gave him a strange look and retorted with, "What ever's on tap." The bartender gave him one of those sarcastic smiles, and filled a glass with ice and water from one of those hose dispenser things.
Kyle accepted the water and began to sip it as he glanced back over the interior. He began to think to himself with so many vampires and humans in one spot, how often is he going to wind up here on business?

Valerie looked down at the address her captain had given her and turned down the street, scanning it for the vampire club. It was hard to miss, a smile tugged at her lips as she parked and stepped out of the car, checking her clothes to make sure her badge and gun couldn't be seen. She was here to meet her new partner, her captain had just sent him down to the club when Val had arrived, so he couldn't have been there long. The Captain had been going to call and tell Kyle that she was coming to meet him but Val had stopped him, She wanted to get a read on him first, before he knew who she was.
Val approached the bouncer and shot him a relaxed smile, she took a deep breath and centered herself, A name appeared in her head and she let out her breath 'Lilly Baxter'. She was only able to call on her power easily because of her years of practice, and sometimes even then it didn't even work, she wouldn't of known how she would have gotten in with out showing her badge if it hadn't. She told the bouncer the name she saw and held back a smile as he looked at the list and let her inside. "Right this way Miss. Baxter" Her eyes scanned the club, taking note of any potential trouble makers before landing on her partner. She stopped for a moment and watched him, noting how he reacted to the people around him. She always got a feeling or a read about a person when first meeting them, sometimes the feelings were vague and hard to understand and other times it was like someone was screaming out their problems and feelings, she wondered what he was like.
Valerie approached Kyle and sat down on the sat next to him. "I'll take a Mojito" She told the bar tender. She glanced at Kyle and smiled, "I'm Val." she held out her hand as she introduced herself. Knowing physical contact enhanced her readings.

Kyle was still scoping the place out when he noticed a beautiful woman approach him. To his surprise she sat down right next to him and ordered a Mojito from the bar. The woman glanced Kyle's way and introduced herself with an outstretched hand. Kyle wondered if she was human or vampire, the handshake should tell him, although he wished she were human.
"Kyle", he replied as he took her hand. Her hand was warm, human he thought, she was human. He then wondered if she thought he was a vampire. "Just plain old human Kyle", he said slowly releasing her hand. After the words left his mouth he thought how stupid that sounded. If she is fine with you being human though, maybe you'll hit it off. No, your on duty he said to himself, this isn't the time to be hitting on women, no matter how pretty they are. This was just a simple recon he thought, but no he was still on duty. It'd been a while since he had talked to a pretty woman in a bar, but this wasn't the time or place he thought. Time to move along Kyle, maybe you'll see her again sometime.
"It was a pleasure to meet you Val, but I have someplace I need to be, if you'll excuse me", he said with a smile. He probably wasn't going to see her again, but hey at least he was still attractive enough that she wanted to talk to him. Thats something at least.

Valerie closed her eyes for a brief moment after they shook hands, taking in her reading of him. All she got was the knowledge that he was devoted to his job and didn't usually let people get to close. It wasn't much to go one, but every little bit counted. She laughed softly as he introduced himself, making sure she knew he was human. She nodded, scanning the crowd of people before turning her eyes back to him. "And I'm plain old human Valerie" She told him with a smile as she took a sip of her drink. She had a feeling he was a good cop and knew how to do his job, and she always followed her feelings.
She didn't want to lead him on about who she was any more then she had to, so when he started to dismiss her she stopped him with a hand on his shoulder. "Kyle Breslin right? I'm Officer Valerie Porter, I'm your new partner." She told him with an apologetic smile, she hoped he wouldn't take her little stunt the wrong way. She hadn't been trying to trick him, she had just wanted to get a feel for him before he knew who she was. "Suprise!" She joked with another smile.

Ah, of course, she wasn't coming on to him she was just gauging how he would react. Oh well, the story of my life. Why do I always get the pretty ones as partners, because the universe likes to mock you.
This is really his fault he thought, he should have pegged her as a fellow officer of the law. Maybe I'm getting rusty in my old age, that or I'm just a little lonelier than I thought. It had to be a female partner didn't, oh well, I bet she's great at the job.
Kyle gives Val the once over, he should have done that sooner, he notices the bulge caused by her gun holster. He also notices she dresses like a cop, he looks down, well so does he, she just pulls it off better. He figures he better say something, before she thinks he's weird.
"Well I'm surprised", Kyle said, and a little disappointed he thought. "The Captain didn't tell me I had been assigned a partner yet." I guess the Captain wants to keep me on my toes, I am an out of city transfer here to help get his squad in line, maybe he doesn't appreciate that I'm here. Oh well, he wouldn't be the the first C.O. not to like me.
"Tell me Porter, how long have you been on the Job?", Kyle looked around wondering if anyone was listening in.

(Sorry for the short reply, i have to go and I don't know when I'll be Back >.<)
Val could feel his disappointment but she didn't know the cause of it. She frowned slightly, trying to think of what she said. "Yeah, sorry about that, That was my fault." She apologized, brushing a strand of brown hair out of her eyes. "It was my idea to meet you first, the captain was going to call you but I just decided to come and introduce myself. I didn't mean any harm by it." She told him with an apologetic smile.
"I've been an officer for around four years, but I just transferred into the Bureau." She leaned back against the bar and swirled her drink in her hand absentmindedly as she spoke. "I've always had a sort of... fascination with the supernatural. Even before all of this happened" She said gesturing around them. "what about you?

"No harm done", except maybe to my ego he thought. "So, why did you want to meet me so soon, I'm sure you have better things to do in your time off." Kyle leans his head down a little and lowers his voice, "Or does the Captain just like hazing me?" He ended the last part with a smile, just to let her know he was joking. Well mostly joking, he still wasn't sure if the Captain like him or not. Kyle thought maybe he was being to hard on the Captain, they didn't know each other very well after all. Kyle decided not to worry about it for now, he's sure in no time the Captain and he would become good friends.
"Well to answer your question I've been on the force for ten years. I took about a year off though, spent some time in a nice little psych hospital." He watched her reaction to that statement, he wasn't sure if she had gotten a look at his service jacket or not. He was still pissed about his little stint there, he was right all along after all. But he was less pissed when he finally got that settlement check from the city of Los Angeles. Now that he new who his partner was he was going to make sure to get a look at her service jacket.

"Well, I wanted to meet you outside of work, though technically we're working right now, but this is a bit more or a relaxing atmosphere, don't you think? She said with a smile as she brought her drink to her lips. "And I kind of wanted to meet you first before everyone else found out we were partners. You see, some of the other officers... well a few of them aren't very fond of me. I didn't want you to get the wrong impression of me from their point of view." She told him truthfully, there were two people in their devision that had seen her say and do some strange things as she worked with her power when she thought no one was looking. Those two were the only bad thing about moving into the Vampire devision, she would have to deal with them a lot more.
The woman sighed, setting her drink down and running her fingers through her hair. Her eyes widened a bit when he told her he had been in a psych hospital, She was surprised that he would share that with her and didn't know how to respond. "Oh, well I'm glad your back on the force again, you look to be in great shape." She had taken notice of her new partners good looks when she walked in, but she permitted herself another quick once over as she spoke.
As a child she had always been afraid that someone would find out she was different and take her to the hospital for tests and keep her there for the rest of her life. She held back a shiver from the memory of her childhood fear, one she still struggled with today. "Do you mind my asking what the cause was? or am I being to forward" She could feel the undercurrent of anger he felt towards his stay and wondered if she should have just kept her mouth shut.

"No, I don't mind at all", Kyle replied. "I brought it up after all." Where to begin Kyle thought,"Well, while on a case I was attacked by some vampires", Kyle reflexively rubs his scars though his shirt at the memory. "The vampires roughed me up pretty bad, and I tried to tell people what happened. Needless to say at the mention of vampires everyone thought I was crazy, they used me and my 'psychotic break' as a scapegoat for the case going unsolved." Yep Kyle thought, this story still pisses me off. "They drug my name through the mud, slapped me in a psych facility, and blamed me."
"I got my revenge though, a year later the vampires came out, then I got released", Kyle started to grin at the next part. "Course I came out of that hospital law suits a flying, the city, the department, hell even the newspapers." Kyle thinks back to those proceedings, "Wound up with some nice settlements in the end, and my job back of course. Wasn't really to popular around the station after that though."
"So yeah, I kind of guess I know how you feel, with people I work with not so fond of me." Thats probably why they were partnered us up, but he decided not to voice it. "Well as the two weirdos on the force, I say its our job to make everyone else look bad." He laughed at himself, he was sure she had no trouble making anyone look bad.

OOC: Gah, every time I'm replying to you something happens in the middle of it and I have to leave >.< I'm sorry once again!
Val listened politely, She was surprised that he had been attacked, she never would have guessed they would have out him in a mental hospital, but it made sense that they would think he was crazy for talking about vampires. Her eyes went to his chest as he rubbed it, she felt a string of phantom pain when she focused. He must had been hurt pretty bad. "I'm sorry, that sounds awful." She said gently when he paused in his story.
"Well the sick bastards deserved the law suits and more for that." She said, shaking her head, she couldn't understand how people could treat someone like that after they had been attacked. Valerie grinned at Kyle and raised her glass. "To the weirdos and misfits! May the world never be rid of us." She toasted with a light laugh. "So is that why you joined this devision? Because of the attack?" She asked, tilting her head to the side slightly.

Kyle thought about her question, "Yeah pretty much, after I was reinstated , I was the only cop who had met the vampire and could tie her to both the murder case she was involved in and my attempted murder." Kyle reflected back on the next part of the story with a bit of sick satisfaction, I wonder if that's normal he thought. "So I led a small army to arrest the vampire, she resisted with lethal force. So we responded with lethal force, she didn't survive."
Kyle remembered quite clearly when he was finally able to stake the vampire, it made a horrible mess, but he had never been happier, at least since his hospitalization. Thats probably not normal either. Kyle decided to shift the topic of conversation a little, as his own thoughts on this painful time in his life, were beginning to worry him.
"So was it just your fascination with the supernatural that made you join V.A.B. or is there more to it than that?"

[/div] You think I don't know,
Val nodded as he spoke, glad that the vampire that had attacked him hadn't gotten away with her crime. She became a little uncomfortable when he asked her why she joined the team, but she hid it very well "My father was a cop, so he really got me into it. I was just always interested in all things supernatural since I was a kid, it made sense to put the two together." She told him with a shrug, feeling a bit guilty that he had opened up to her but she didn't do the same for him. She'd only told one person about her powers so it was almost second nature to lie or dodge questions if something about it came up.
Valerie looked down at her almost empty drink and then to the door of the club. "What do you say we head back to the station, I think we've done enough recon. unless you wanted to take another look around. " She said, then tipped her glass back to finish off her drink.
What kind of man you are, But I can figure this one out on my own.

"So, your a police brat, huh. Is your dad still on the job>", Kyle was the first cop in his family, it was something he had wanted to be ever since he was a child. Well whatever they're reasons for joining the force, Kyle was glad that people did. Kyle really believed in the job he was doing, he knew not every cop did, but still it was a job worth doing. Kyle was also glad that he had finally gotten assigned a partner, it was good to have someone to watch your back, or maybe I'll watch hers he thought with a grin.
Kyle shot a glance around the club one more time, currently no one seemed to be in distress or in need of police intervention anyways. "Yeah, let's get out of here for now, I'm done checking the place out." Kyle then motioned for the door saying, "Please, after you." Kyle lingered for a second as Val headed for the exit, Kyle gave her another once over, yeah I think I'll enjoy watching her back he thought.
Kyle hurried up a little to walk side by side with Val, hoping she didn't realize what he had just done, and asked her, "You drove here right? Do you want me to meet you at the station or what?"

[/div] You think I don't know, Val smiled and nodded "Police brat through and Through." She said a it proudly. "No, he retired a few years ago, but that was only because my mother kept fussing at him to quit. He loved his job so much and would have done it till the day he died." She was extremely proud of her father and aspired to be as good a cop as he had been. She smiled at him again as he held out his hand and let her go in front of him. Though, when she cocked her head to the side slightly, out of the corner of her eye she saw him giving her a once over and her smile widened. Seeing a man as good looking as Kyle give her a look like that? It was enough to make her knees weak. She turned her eyes back and concentrated on walking before she made a fool of herself. She glanced over at him when he moved to her side and had just opened her mouth to answer when her phone vibrated. She hadn't brought her Radio with her because she had wanted to be a bit of an undercover for a bit. She flipped open her phone and read the message quickly. She snapped the phone shut and smiled. "Looks like we've got our first case as partners! someone reported having seen a possible V deal down by the College. I came in my own car, did you come in a squad car?"Continued on: The First Case What kind of man you are, But I can figure this one out on my own.
