Mikhail was still reeling a little from his encounter with Raj. He needed to focus back on the task that had brought him to Chicago. His destiny, whatever it was, lay in confronting Elias Lasko. Just Elias. That meant keeping his twin brother out of it. Since Max's wife was very pregnant, perhaps it wouldn't be as difficult as he hoped.

He watched the young brunette leave the house she shared with her husband. It looked like something out of a storybook, with the white picket fence and little window boxes. Nothing like he would have ever dreamed any hunter would have chosen. It was so far from the world he and the Laskos had lived in it might as well be from another world. It was from another world. Perhaps that's why Max liked it.

He trailed her to the store, then waited until Jayne was finished with her shopping. He bumped into her 'by accident', sending her bag and its contents tumbling to the sidewalk. "Oh, I'm sorry," he apologized, immediately bending to help her retrieve them. It was a simple, well played ruse, but it allowed him to get close to the witch without drawing attention overmuch.

Jayne had gone to the store to retrieve a few little things. Little things in the form of s'mores ingredients all for the simple purpose of pigging out like a wild animal the moment she got the chocolate melted enough to be deliciously sticky. She had been much more focused on the bag and its' contents than where she was going, so she was startled when she was bumped into. Immediately her fingertips brushed over her overly protruding stomach.

It was just an accident, but she couldn't bend down to retrieve the items herself, not without some help, so she let him collect them instead. It wasn't until the man stood that she realized who he was and her face paled. Max had shown her the video of Mikhail a few times and she would have recognized his face anywhere. She swallowed. Surely he didn't mean to hurt her on a crowded street.

"It's fine," she said. "Thank you. I'll just be going." Anything to get her back into her heavily warded house and away from the man who stood before her.

	"I'm not going to hurt you," he told her. "I don't want to hurt your husband either. I want him to stay out of this. For your sake. For her sake. Please, convince him. For your daughter, if nothing else." Mikhail didn't want to threaten her, but he was hoping she'd taking his warning to heart. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Hearing this man talk about her child and use the correct pronoun made her sick to her stomach. The fact that he wasn't really threatening her husband, but alluding to the fact that he could get hurt made her want to run down to the bar as quickly as she could. That, however, would be impossible. She knew she should have taken the car. Not that she figured it would have done much good.

"Why do you want him to stay out of it?," she asked him. "He won't. Elias is his brother, the only family he has left. He's not going to just back down if he thinks that he's in danger." Which was the truth. Convincing Max not to help Elias wasn't going to fly.

	Mikhail sighed. "I don't know," he said. "It depends on what he does. What they do. I just know what I saw. And it was just Elias. Not Max. Max isn't supposed to be there." He scraped his hands through his hair. "I am asking you to protect him from himself. Whatever happens, it's not supposed to involve him. That's all I know. Please, talk to him."

	Max was just about to head out to the bar again after finishing an early dinner. It wasn't super busy yet. He was immediately worried when his wife came through the office door. "It is time?" he asked immediately. "Princess, you should have called me." He frowned, his concern worsening when he saw her face. "What happened? What's wrong?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Max helped Jayne up the short flight of stairs to what used to be their apartment. He didn't knock, Eli would have heard them coming a mile and a half away. He got his wife settled on the sofa before he turned to his brother to explain. "Mikhail cornered Jayne tonight," he told Eli. "She said he asked her to keep me out of whatever he wanted with you."
