Malachi was soooo late. He hadn't meant to be, of course, but with the arrival of the new Master of the City, Malachi was scrambling to make sure he knew just what that was going to mean for his Pard. Dodger was working at Little Red's, and he had promised he'd try to make it for the show. They had already started, and when he walked in - out of breath - he found his girlfriend all flirty with Joey. "Fuck," he muttered, hiding himself in the shadows.
Chi felt the power spike Joey was sending to Dodger, and he could tell she was falling for it, hook line and sinker. Damn it was about the only thought in his mind as he had no choice but to watch his girlfriend perform and the Master of the City's Third in Command lap up the performance.
Anger stirred inside him, possessiveness too. He got fed up with Joey teasing Dodger like she was a toy, so he calmly stepped out of the shadows and took a seat at the table next to the vampires. Alexus had left to go to the bar and speak with Mina, but Chi wasn't concerned with them. He was concerned with Joey and Dodger. He reached out with his own power to snuff out the connection between Joey and Dodger, at least for the moment.
