Ok, not much action here, but this is part of the build up to some major action coming later on in the story.

Made a correction on a spelling error pointed out by a reviewer.

Chapter 5

"This is
non sense!" Enrico Maxwell spat as he left the meeting.
Integra was the second to exit, though she had a rather smug grin
on her face. While she couldn't be the one holding Anderson's
leash, she had the assurance that Maxwell couldn't lengthen it
either. She enjoyed watching him try to keep his composure to
keep up the charade of being a total gentleman in the presence of
the queen. Of course once out of her site however, he would
return to his usual hypocritical, and bad tempered self.

"Pity
Alucard couldn't see it. He'd have been quite amused." She
said to herself.

Enrico waited
impatiently by his car for the Hellsing leader to emerge. She
walked out of the building where the meeting had been held. She
didn't even try to disguise her profound amusement of the
situation. At last she felt Iscariate was being put in its place.

"Wipe
that smug grin off your face Integra Hellsing!" Maxwell
barked.

Integra's eyes
narrowed to mere slits. How dare this upstart from the Vatican
give her orders. "That is SIR Integra Hellsing to you
Maxwell. And just so you know, I'm no happier about this than you
are. But the queen is right. As long as Hellsing and Iscariate
are at each other's throats this she demon running loose will
never be dealt with. It would serve to our advantage to work
together instead of being at odds."

"You
understand this SIR Integra Hellsing." Enrico growled.
"If those vampires of yours should get out of line for even
a second, do not think I will hesitate to let Father Anderson
deal with them appropriately."

"It's
that sort of behavior that has cost us two chances to destroy the
demon running loose in England. And just so you know Enrico
Maxwell, if Anderson threatens Alucard and Seras in any way, they
too will be given full permission to deal with him in any way
they deem necessary. But for Rome's sake and England's we need to
set aside this ridiculous feud and concentrate on the situation
at hand. Just make sure you keep Anderson under control."
Integra replied coldly.

"I do not
control Father Alexander Anderson. He is not a puppet. He is a
chosen warrior of God raining down..."

"Oh spare
me your fanatical rederick. Keep him under control unless of
course you'd like him shipped back to Rome in a thousand small
pieces." Integra warned.

Enrico watched
with a furious scowl as Integra walked away from him and got into
her white Rolls Royce.

"After
this she demon has been done away with, your little pet vampires
will be next." Enrico growled to himself and got into his
car.

Zoey was in
her room looking over her dress. She'd chosen a strapless a-line
dress in sapphire blue satin with a sparkling silver wrap to
cover her shoulders. She turned hearing a knock at her door.

"Zoey,
it's me, Stewart."

"Come in
Stewie!" Zoey chimed happily.

Pickman
entered, his cheeks red from embarresment. He wasn't really fond
of the little nick name Zoey had given him. Now he knew how Seras
felt when Alucard called her 'police girl.'

"Zoey,
um, could you please not call me that...all the time?" He
asked trying not to hurt the girl's feelings.

"I can't
help it. It's such a...."

"Um,
Zoey. I came here to tell you that the engagement ball is being
postponed. The queen and Sir Integra both felt it wasn't a good
idea to go ahead with it while there's a threat to London running
loose."

"You mean
there's still a threat? I would have thought Alucard and Seras
would have long since taken care of it." Zoey said with a
hint of disapointment.

"Usually
that's the case. But Iscariate's vampire slayer Alexander
Anderson has been getting in the way. Stupid blighter comes along
and pokes his nose where it ain't wanted." Pickman replied.

"Then
what is Hellsing going to do?" Zoey asked.

"Well,
the queen has ordered a truce between Hellsing and The Iscariate
Organization. Personally, it's not the best idea I'd have come up
with, but given the circumstances we don't have much choice. Sir
Integra isn't too happy bout it. She trusts Enrico Maxwell as far
as she could throw him." Stewart answered.

"She
wouldn't have to throw him. Alucard could probably hurl him to
the moon." Zoey said.

"Yah, but
then she'd have to put too much trust in him. Hence the saying
trust him as far as he could be thrown." Stewart replied.

"True. Do
you think Hellsing and Iscariate will be able to co-exist?"
Zoey asked.

"I'd be
more worried about will Alucard and Anderson be able to get
through five seconds without trying to destroy each other. Those
two can't stand the site of each other let alone the thought of
having to work on the same side. But until this problem is taken
care of I guess they don't have much choice." Stewart
answered.

He looked to
see the dress Zoey had just been inspecting. "Is that the
dress you're gonna wear to the ball?"

"Yes, it
is. Course I guess I better cover it up for now seeing as the
ball's postponed."

"I
wouldn't worry. If Sir Integra can actually get Alucard and
Anderson to work together then the matter should be resolved very
soon." Stewart said.

"Are you
busy right now? I was just about to have afternoon tea."
Zoey requested.

"I've got
a few minutes."

Anderson
waited at the hotel where Maxwell and his assitant Father Renaldo
were staying. Maxwell entered his suite with a displeased look on
his face.

"What has
happened?" Anderson asked.

"It would
appear for the time being that we will be forced to stand along
side Hellsing in order to find the demoness who killed Father
Mallery." Maxwell growled.

"Stand
along side Hellsing? Stand along side that pathetic little
kindgergarten club who uses the very black demons they're charged
with destroying? Such thing is an abmoniation in the eyes of
God." Anderson proclaimed.

"I would
agree, but it is stand with Hellsing or let the she demon
continue to run loose. It is how one would say, the lesser of two
evils." Maxwell replied.

"The
lesser of two evils is still evil." Anderson said.

"Be that
as it may, for now we have no choice. These continued stand offs
with Hellsing is costing us a victory in Father Mallery's name.
For now we will abide by this temporary truce. When we have cut
down the wicked hell cat who murdered one of our own, we will
deal with Hellsing and their little undead pets." Maxwell
warned.

#################################################

That evening
the members of Hellsing and Iscariate gathered for a meeting in
the study. It would be an uneasy time for both groups considering
that Alucard and Anderson would be in the same room together. Any
other time Integra and Enrico would gladly have let Anderson and
Alucard go at it. Each hoping his or her man would destroy the
other. But this was a serious threat to countries in which the
respective organizations served. For now, personal issues would
have to be set aside for the good of England and Rome.

"As you
know the queen has requested that both Hellsing and Iscariate
work together to rid our respective countries and the world of
the female demon that now runs amuck on our streets. Both have
made attempts to dispatch the thing, and both
have...failed." Integra began with a low grumble upon the
word 'failed.' She paused and then continued speaking.

"Out of
encounters with the creature we have learned some about her
unique abilities. She is quite a powerful succubus. She drains
the youth and life energy from men after seducing them. The
victims are left dry, decrepit shells. She also has the power to
change her appearence, take the form of mist and manipulate her
enemies with her mind. Both Alucard and Father Anderson have
experienced the last power first hand."

Alucard looked
away with a scowl. Anderson however grinned smuggly. That made
Alucard scowl even harder. Nothing would have pleased him more
than to take his Jackul and pump the judas priest full of silver
bullets, and Anderson knew it. For now he took satisfaction in
the fact that Alucard could do nothing without his master's
command. It was at times like these the no life king despised his
bondage.

"Soon
enough Iscariate dog, soon enough I'll shoot that smug grin off
your face." He thought.

"We have
also learned through eyewitness testimonies from both England and
Rome that this creature goes by several aliases. Here she has
been identified as Sadie. But in other places throughout Rome and
Italy she was known as Mariana, Angelique, Monique, Anna and
several others. Because she can change her appearence with
realitive ease it makes detection impossible for humans. The only
beings who can track her down and catch her are those who are
themselves not human." Integra said.

"How
exactly do we plan on catching and destroying this filthy
demon?" Enrico asked skeptically.

"First we
must pin point her location. And as I just stated, we need
someone inhuman to track her movements. Normally I would send
Alucard to track and hunt her down himself. But after the last
few scirmishes with this creature, she will most likely be
expecting that. So I am sending Captain Seras Victoria to track
the demon down. Once she has the creature's location, one of my
men will act as a decoy to lure the succubus into a trap. When
she is vunerable, Alucard and Anderson will be deployed to
dispatch the creature." Integra explained.

"Your men
are weak. She won't have to read them like a book because their
sin ridden thoughts will give them away the first moment she sees
them. One of Iscariate's loyal and dedicated followers should
take the risk. Only a man who is dedicated to God can resist this
vile temptress." Enrico interjected.

"As I
recall, one of your priests was killed by this thing. What makes
you think that risking another will make any difference?
Appearently he wasn't as strong as you thought." Integra
replied.

"You
question the integrity and sacrifice of Iscariate's priests? What
would a feeble Protestant wench know about true loyalty and faith
in God?" Enrico accused.

"You dare
insult my master?" Alucard growled unholstering his Jackul
and pointing it at Maxwell.

"Go ahead
vampire. Give me a reason." Anderson warned unsheathing his
sacred blades aiming them at Alucard.

"Enough!"
Integra shouted. "This constant bickering will get us no
where!"

She turned to
Alucard. "Put away your gun." She ordered. Silently,
but begrudgingly the vampire obeyed.

"Father
Anderson, sheath your blades." Maxwell insisted. With the
same silent but begrudging attitude, Anderson did as he was told.

"We must
be unified if we are to beat this thing." Integra insisted.

There were a
few tense, uneasy moments of silence between the representives of
the two factions. Alucard and Anderson stared daggers into each
other while their employers waited for them to settle down. Once
there was peace again, Integra took out a cigar, cut the tip and
lit it. She took a drag off it before speaking again.

"So far
the victims have been men in their fourties, perhaps even early
thirties. She has been very selective about who she attacks. The
men have been near middle age and very wealthy. After she has
taken the men's life force, she also takes any material
possessions of value or currency itself. Appearently she has
expensive tastes. She likes wearing exotic and most likely high
priced perfumes. She prefers to rob men of their lives and wealth
in order to attain what she wants." She said.

After taking
another puff, she continued. "After a fight with Captain
Victoria the creature was wounded and has skulked off somewhere
to lick her wounds. But it will not be too long before she is on
the move again. Number one, she will need a fresh young male to
renew her expended energy. Number two, that renewed strength will
also revive her lust for the hunt."

"And just
who do you propose is going to lure this creature? As you so
politely put it she will be expecting something like this. If she
can look into the minds of humans then she will know what you are
planning." Enrico interrupted.

"She will
need to rebuild her energy. And she likes men with sizable
wealth. I plan on giving her bait she absolutely would not
refuse. She's been feeding off the life energy of older men, but
not too old that they cannot suit her purposes. I propose luring
her with a young man of great wealth. And as fortune would have
it we happen to have such a man. My fiance Kenneth Ascott has
volunteered to be the bait. He will be arriving from Wales
tomorrow afternoon. Tomorrow evening the plan will be mapped out
making sure no detail is left out to ensure Kenneth's
safety." Integra replied.

"And you
believe your husband to be will be able to lure this
creature?" Enrico asked.

"A young
man in his late twenties who just happens to be one of the sons
of the Earl of Ascott will be a morsel this creature could not
possibly resist. He will make the perfect lure for our target.
Tomorrow evening we will discuss plans for entrapping and
destroying the demon before she causes anymore grief. Tonight I
am dispatching Captain Victoria to find the target's
location." She answered.

"I don't
want you getting into a confrontation unless there is no other
choice. Captain Seras Victoria, your orders are to track down and
locate the target. Then you will report your findings back to
me."

"Captain
Victoria accepts assignment sir." Seras answered.

"You will
need to change into something a little less conspicuous than your
Hellsing attire. You should wear something that will help you
blend in with the masses. Do you think you can keep her from
dectecting your presence?" Integra asked.

"I'll
make sure she doesn't catch onto me Sir." Seras replied.

"Very
well. Go get changed. To make sure you don't tip her off to your
presence, take a cell phone with you. Report to me the moment you
find where she's hiding." Integra ordered.

"Yes
Sir."

"Here."
Integra said handing Seras a small case.

"These
are specially made contact lenses. They're tinted dark brown so
they will hide your eyes. Not wearing sunglasses will make you a
little less conspicious and help you blend in with the human
populace."

#################################################

After being
dismissed from the meeting, Seras returned to her chamber in
order to get changed. She picked out a pair of tight fitting
jeans and a navy blue blouse with a matching beret'. She put a
black leather jacket on over the top. She got dressed and
prepared to leave. As she was about to open a portal out of her
chamber she felt Alucard's presence in her room.

"Alucard?"
She asked turning to see him with a serious look on his face.

"Be
careful Seras. She may be weakened but she is still very
dangerous." He said.

"It's
going to take more than some devil bitch to get rid of me.
Besides, if she gets froggy I'll be more than happy to shoot her
legs off." Seras said holstering her mini casul under her
jacket.

"Wouldn't
shooting her through her heart kill her quicker?" Alucard
asked.

"Now I
would expect you of all vampires to know better." Seras
replied.

The elder
vampire let out a dark chuckle. "Good point."

"Don't
worry. I'll be all right." Seras said as she opened a portal
and exited her chamber.

"God save
the world if anything ever happens to her." Alucard thought
to himself.

#################################################

Seras walked
among the streets, her body illuminated by the street lamps high
over her. So far she could dectect no sign of the target. She
leisurely strolled letting herself blend in with the people
becoming practically indistinguishable from them. It had been a
while since she'd taken a stroll down the London streets. She
looked around silently feeling out who was human and who may have
been something else. So far she hadn't sensed anything out of the
ordinary.

"I hope
she hasn't left London yet. This chase could get a whole lot
harder if she strays outside the city." She said to herself.

One by one,
Seras searched local stores seeing if there was any sign of
Sadie. Knowing the she demon had high end tastes, Seras knew to
search some of the expensive places. She walked in one store
pretending to be interested in looking at jewlery. The mulitude
of pendents, rings, bracelets and other baubles was mind blowing.
Diamonds, rubys, exotic man made stones, gold, silver...well, the
silver Seras avoided. She watched out of the corner of her eye as
a woman with long red hair entered the store. She was wearing a
mid length black leather skirt and matching jacket. Upon her
wrist was a sparkling diamond cut gold bracelet.

"May I
help you miss?" A clerk asked seeing the lady was obviously
interested in something.

"I'd like
to see the diamond choker." She answered.

Immediately
Seras sensed something. It was faint, but she sensed it. The
creature had yet to find another victim. Her powers were still
weak. She didn't look quite as young and vibrant as she had
before. Not wanting to raise suspicioun, Seras exited the store
but stayed close by. She watched as the woman tried on the choker
but handed it back to the clerk. Obviously it wasn't what she was
looking for. She left the store having no further interest. Seras
had her back turned, but kept her eyes trained on what she now
knew to be the target.

She let the
woman get a few feet ahead of her before she started following
her. After a brief foot pursuit, Seras saw the woman flag down a
cab. She slipped into a dark alley. What emerged from it was not
a woman, but a bat. Seras had put her shapeshifting lesson to
good use and followed the cab from the air. So far the target had
suspected nothing.

For about
thirty minutes the car drove with Seras following from the sky.
When the car stopped, Seras hovered about ten feet from the
ground watching the woman pay the driver and then enter a hotel.
She studied the hotel and memorized its location before flying
away. She went back to the point where she'd started from and
found the same dark alley in which to reassume her human shape.
She made sure no one was listening and called Integra with her
report. When the call was done, Seras immediately returned to the
Hellsing mansion.

#################################################

Seras retired
to her chamber after reporting to Integra. She changed out of her
street clothes into a more comfortable pair of tight leggings and
a night shirt. Then she took a mirror to remove the contact
lenses.

"Oh,
thank goodness. These bloody things irritate the hell out of
me." She said as she carefully took the lenses out.

"It
really was a silly idea to have those things made in my
opinion." A deep male voice said smoothly. Seras turned to
find Alucard walking through the wall toward her.

"I'd have
rather worn sunglasses." She said.

"So our
target is staying at a high end hotel is she?" Alucard
asked.

"Yes. She
went jewelry hunting but didn't find anything she wanted. I
followed her in the sky after she took a cab. I would have gone
in to see what room she was staying in, but somehow I think the
commotion of well mannered people seeing a bat flying around
would have defeated the purpose." Seras answered.

"When
you've gained a little more experience I'll teach you how to
travel as fog. In that form you can sneak in virtually anywhere
undetected." Alucard replied.

"The
woman I saw looked a little older, like she was in her mid to
late thirties. Her powers are still not at full strength. I don't
think she sensed I was watching her." Seras said.

"She'll
need to find a victim to renew her strength soon. That is where
our 'bait' will come in. She certainly won't be able to resist a
fresh young male with vast wealth." Said the elder vampire.

"Kenneth
has a lot of guts volunteering for this. Though I have to admit
he would make the perfect lure."

"Indeed.
Perhaps he's braver than I thought. That or he has completely
lost his mind." Alucard mused.

"I guess
we'll see after his first year of marriage to Sir Integra."

"More
like his first month."
