I don't own Hellsing, and I'm not making any money from this.

Integra had expected Alucard to call to report in once the three of them retreated to a more secure location. What she did not expect were the contents of that report.

"You're certain?"

"Absolutely certain." the vampire replied over the line. "All the information is here, in my mind. Our enemies are developing a powerful weapon to be used against us. And they used sources and information from Hellsing itself to do it."

It was a shocking thing to hear. The first thing Integra thought of were all the projects and conceptual ideas Syn and Edmund were constantly working on. She was absolutely sure neither of them were traitors. Alucard would have known even if she didn't suspect them. But if there was a mole within Hellsing's walls, it was possible that something could have been stolen and passed on. And the things that came from Syn Newsom's brain were not the sort of things she wanted used against her.

"Do you have the location of where this weapon is being held?"

"Only a general area. Once we get there, I could find it easily." he told her.

The knight thought it over a moment, then made a decision. "Find it." she said. "Don't leave a single soul alive. If this weapon can be recovered and brought back for identification and study, so be it. If not, destroy it."

"Yes, my master." Alucard said with a pleased hiss. "And Integra? How did it feel to hear the war drums pounding? Did it make your blood rush to see the flames burning like Hell's fires?"

The knight glared down at the phone in fury. How dare he?

"Don't you dare talk to me that way, monster. I've given you your assignment, now do it!" she slammed the phone down onto it's receiver. "Idiot."

They had a serious situation on their hands, and the vampire had to go and push her buttons.

"For the love of God Pip, did we have to stop at McDonald's?"

The captain pointed at himself. "I'm 'uman, and 'umans need to eat." he told her. "And zhey 'ave zhe best chips. 'ere."

Seras waved her hand in front of her face as he attempted to stick a french fry into her mouth. "Well, I'm a vampire, and vampires don't eat."

Bernadette quirked a brow. " 'ave you been drinking zhe blood we gave you?"

The draculina felt the strong urge to roll her eyes. God, he was starting to sound like her master. "Yes, I've been drinking it."

"Zhen eet won't 'urt you to eat zomezhing." he said smartly. He held the chip out again. "Juzt take eet, Mignonette."

The draculina sighed and opened her mouth. Pip popped the french fry into it, and she was pleasantly surprised that she didn't immediately want to spit it back out. It had been such a long time since she had been able to eat human food without getting sick...

"Zee?" he said when he saw her expression change. "Zhe best chips een zhe world!"

Seras laughed at his proclamation and pulled the hood of her pink jacket further over her head. The sun was bright today, and while it didn't burn, she was trying to avoid it as much as possible.

"Zo what's zhis ozher mission your master waz talking about?" Pip asked as they headed back to the small hotel they were holing up in.

"I have no idea." she said honestly. "He was supposed to call Sir Integra to get orders while we were out."

When they got back to the hotel, Alucard was waiting for them. He filled them on the information he had gathered from Alhambra's blood, and Integra's orders about what they should do. Seras had no idea what to think about it.

"They took something from Hellsing to make a weapon?" she gasped. "How? What was it?"

"That's what we're going to figure out, police girl." the master vampire replied.

At her side, Bernadette slouched. "I zuppose we have to take zhe coffins..."

Alucard narrowed his eyes at him, looking like he thought the man was an idiot for thinking otherwise. "We are not leaving them where they can't be accounted for. The coffins go with us."

"I'm not zaying we 'ave to leave zhem." Pip said, taking a step back and waving his hands. "Zhose boxes are just 'eavy and 'ard to deal wizh..."

The vampire shot him a look and sat down on the lid of his coffin. "This box is my last domain. It's where I was born, and it's where I'll die."

That was something her master had tried to beat into her head multiple times since her creation. Seras still didn't fully comprehend it. Your coffin was your rock. The one bastion of safety and security you could rely on in the world. She had experienced the feeling while being inside of hers during the flight. If she was in her coffin, it didn't matter what was going on outside because she was safe. Being locked up in a small space was terrifying, but it did feel like she was protected in there. Precisely why that was, she didn't know. And her master was a lot more attached to his coffin than she would probably ever be with hers. The whole thing still freaked her out.

Apparently, this mysterious weapon they were looking for was being held at some sort of base. Alucard didn't know the precise location, but once they got close, he seemed to pick up the trail like a bloodhound and led them right to it. It was a secret place – in the middle of the woods with the only entrance being a hidden door that led down to an underground tunnel. She was surprised that there weren't more guards. Maybe they thought it was too hard to find? But their presence didn't go unnoticed. Within a few minutes of entering the tunnels, an alarm sounded over their heads and armed men came running down to intercept them.

This wasn't like the encounter at the hotel. These were artificial vampires designed to guard this place. Taking them out was quick and easy. But there were more than vampires here. There were also human scientists and researchers. That was more difficult. Seras didn't like the idea of killing humans. So much so that she had hidden in a closet while her master tore the SWAT team apart at the hotel. To make matters worse, the scientists weren't armed and had no defenses. They couldn't fight back, even if they wanted too. It would have been better if they had a sporting chance of survival, but this... this was slaughter. She remained frozen in the door, unable to move as Pip and her master executed them, then ran out into the hallway when it became overwhelming. She tried to tell herself that these men were working for Millennium. They knew what was going on and had chosen the side of their enemy. But it still felt so wrong...

"POLICE GIRL!" Alucard's voice shouted at her, snapping her out of her mental wanderings. "Get your ass in here!"

The draculina jumped and immediately moved to obey. When she re-entered the room, white-coated bodies were laying everywhere.

"This is not the time for you to be having a morality crisis." her master said, giving her a stern look of disapproval. "They are our enemy. If we don't destroy them, they will destroy us. Showing mercy will get you killed."

Maybe there was some truth to that. She didn't know. "They're just... humans."

Alucard snorted. "You are pathetic, police girl. If you can't follow the orders you're given, you can at least make yourself useful by searching the computers."

She blanched. She hated it when he did that. Making her feel like she was worthless because she felt something wasn't right. She hung her head. "Yes, master."

She remained behind in what seemed to be the primary research room while he and Bernadette split up to root through the rest of the underground complex. She tried to ignore the sound of gunshots and screaming, and focused instead on trying to find something that looked like it could be useful. There wasn't anything in the computers she could find that even remotely looked like it could be a weapon. There were documents detailing experiments performed to 'improve' the freak vampires – some successful, some obvious failures. There were listings of various types of blood and tissue analysis that were nearly impossible for her to interpret. She couldn't find a damn thing that wasn't a medical or biological research experiment. Maybe her master had made a mistake and they had killed all these people for no reason...

"Mignonette?" a voice said softly behind her.

Seras jumped. "Jesus, Pip! Don't do that!"

He must have finshed with his part of the 'clean up' operation. There were a few bloodstains on his clothes from back splatter. Seras tried not to look at them.

Bernadette took a step backward. "Zorry!" he glanced at the computer screen in front of her. "Find anyzhing?"

"No." she replied quietly, feeling her spirit drop again. "There's nothing here. We did all this for nothing..."

He pulled up a rolling chair beside her. "Eet's not for nozhing." he told her. "Lizten, I know Alucard can be a right bastard zometimes, but 'e 'as a point. Eef you let zomeone you're fighting know zhat you won't kill a 'uman, zhey'll zhrow zhem een front of you to make you stop. I've fought dozens of warz for people. Warz zhat were ztupid and zelfish. But zhis, zhis izn't like zhat. Zhere's a damn good reazon for what we do 'ere. Don't zhink about eet being right or wrong. Zhink about what's necessary." he paused to touch her shoulder. "Eet makes eet eazier to zleep at night."

She studied him for a long moment. He had a point, and she could understand what he was saying. When she was a police officer, she had been trained that if a target attacked you and you had no other option available, you had to shoot them to take them down. She had never been in a situation where she actually had to do that until Alucard changed her. This was a different sort of game with a different set of rules. It was kill, or be killed. She didn't have to like it, but that's the way it was. She gave Pip a nod of understanding.

"Thank you." she said, truly meaning it.

He gave her a kind smile. "Now, letz zee eef zhere's anyzhing you might 'ave missed."

They poured back through the files, but Seras still didn't see anything they were looking for. Then Pip pointed out a file she hadn't seen amongst all the others. When they clicked on it to see what it was, the screen opened to show nothing but code and gobbledygook.

" 'uh. Zhat might be eet." Bernadette said, rubbing his chin. "Scoot over a zecond."

She had no idea what he was doing, but Pip took over the keys and began rapidly typing in a set of codes. She stared at him in amazement.

"What are you doing?"

"Decrypting zhe file." he shot her a grin. "You learn a lot of zhings in my line of work."

"Being a mercenary taught you how to hack computers?" the draculina asked in disbelief.

" 'ey! We're not alwayz 'ired to kill zhings." he said, looking slightly offended. "Zometimes we 'ad to do informaton retrieval. Eet's a nice break."

Wow. She had never thought about that. After a few moment's typing, Pip got the file decoded and they could finally read the contents. Seras heard the sound of gunshots and glass breaking in the distance. She looked up, wondering what her master was getting into now. Then she decided it was probably better that she didn't know, and went back to reading.

It was another biological experiment entitled 'Project Mihnea'. At first glance it looked similar to all the others. Blood analysis and fusions of characteristics of various donors. Then she saw who the blood samples were from and exactly what they had done with them.

"Pip..." she said, rolling her chair back like something would jump out of the screen and bite her. "Please tell me I'm not seeing what I think I'm seeing..."

He shook his head, and she saw that he wasn't going to say anything she wanted to hear. "If you zee what I zee, zhen I zhink you're reading it right."

Holy shit. She thought to herself. This is...

"Save anything you've found so it can be sent back to the manor." Alucard's voice said from the doorway behind them. "We're done here."

The draculina whirled her chair around to tell her master what they had found, then went still. The No Life King had taken off his coat and wrapped something up it. He was holding it in his arms. Her eyes widened.

Then the small bundle in his arms moved.

~whstles innocently~ I'm so not telling. :P I think I've given plenty of hints already.
