Savannah had left her littles ones with the nanny, while she went on a lead of a vile killer who preyed upon the heartbroken women. Her bodyguards had tried to stop her without no avail.

Dressed in her red low cut suit and fedora, she headed out of the manor turning to give her father Leo goodbye. Tucking the file under her arm as Rhage and Phury walked behind her.

"My queen, I suggest you don't go on this mission. Your still grieving over you mate" 

She turned and growled at him as her eyes blazed black.

"Damnit Rhage, leave me the fuck alone. The bastards killed him in my home where my babies were sleeping" she bit her lip as she vowed not to break in front of the brothers. She was heartbroken deep inside.

Erich had decided that today would be a good day to go for a walk in the park. He had been cooped up in the apartment long enough. He knew the doctor had told him to rest, but three days of no sunshine or air? No. That was too much. So day three, here he went. Just a quick walk in the park and then back home again. What could happen?

He put his left arm into a sling to keep it relaxed while the wound healed, and then left his sister Adele- a note.

"Ich kann nicht mehr drinnen bleiben. Ich gehe durch die Stadt spazieren. Ich werde einen nahe gelegenen Park finden und danach nach Hause zurückkehren. Sie sehen diesen Brief vielleicht gar nicht, aber wenn Sie das tun, wissen Sie, dass es mir gut geht."

With that he took one dollar out of the jar, in case he needed it for lunch, and headed out the door to find a nice place to sit and enjoy the air.

Savannah sat on the bench with her head in her hands and sighed. Looking slowly up at her guards, she knew they meant well and blamed themselves for that night.

"Listen guys, we need to catch this man or your wives could be next and you don't want that"

They shook their heads as they both seen the pictures of the vilest kind that all of them seen.

"My queen, be careful don't let this man get into your mind not after Alexander. Your mind is fragile enough as.it is. Call us if you need us and we will be here in a blink understand " Rhage replied as he and phury looked worried "

She patted her gun under jacket 

"OK, understand. Now go or I will kick your asses"

Rhage laughed and ran off into the forest with phury to watch.

Erich had been strolling down the street for a bit, though if you had asked him which one he could not tell you. He still could not read the English version of those words properly. He could have made it out in German, but English sounded different on the tongue. He finally came upon a small park and found himself a bench, but when he approached it he recognized that there was a woman sitting there.

"Ah. Sit?"

He was hoping she would say yes, and simply let him be then. He enjoyed where the bench was. The sun would crest through the trees within the hour and this bench would have plenty of sunshine directed upon it. He would be able to stretch out like a cat in the warming rays of sunshine then. He was very much looking forward to that, and there were no other benches in the right position for it.

He pointed at himself briefly.

"Erich."

And then raised an eyebrow to ask the woman her own name.

Tipping her head up as she looked up at the.man in front of her. Patting the bench beside her.

"Yes, you may "  she replied with a deep Romanian accent. Keeping her red fedora over her darkened eyes as the sun warmed her cold skin.

"Savannah , please to meet you Erich"

Damn. She was trying to talk to him. He always felt bad not being able to reply.

"Sprichst du Deutsch?"

He was hoping she did. It was nice to see more folks that spoke German as of late. Sarah, who he met in Detroit. Alucard and Mr. Bowden in his godmother's crew. More and more folks than he expected honestly.

"I bad English."

He said to try and explain himself a bit further, just in case Savannah didn't actually speak his language.

She just smiled as she tilted her head to the side slightly.

"Ja, ich spreche ein bisschen" 

She understood a little of what he asked 

"Not very good at German too" she laughed

"Oh gut. Es ist besser als nichts. Heute ist ein schöner Tag."

Erich looked toward the woman, and then up toward the sky. There were a few clouds, but mostly it was bright and blue and relaxing. He leaned back a bit on the bench then and closed his eyes.

"Ich stecke seit drei Tagen in meinem Haus fest. Was bringt dich in den Park?"

Savannah closed her eyes as she felt the hunger rise deep withing her. Trying to push it down within her before she spoke

"Ich genieße das Sonnenlicht und hoffe, etwas Arbeit zu erledigen."

She bit her lip as she could hear the blood pp.through had s veins

"Job? Welche Tätigkeit üben Sie aus? Ich weiß, dass viele Frauen in den USA arbeiten, sogar meine Schwester, aber das würde ich nicht zulassen, wenn ich nicht müsste. Ich verdiene einfach nicht genug Geld, damit sie zu Hause bleibt."

Erich opened his eyes again and turned his head to look at the woman. She was attractive and seemed young. Perhaps she had not settled and found a husband who could provide for her yet. He felt a twinge of sadness for her then. She would find someone one day, but today was not that day.

Looking away from him, sighing softly it had been just over a month since her fiancé had been killed in their manor. Her heart had been filled with anger and revenge, turning cold.

"Ich arbeite als paranormaler Detektiv und begehre die schlimmsten Verbrechen, die Mann oder Frau bekannt sind."

Lifting her head as she noticed someone else watching them in the distance. She reached out to her guards and they vanished from sight.

"Got him boss but it may not be him."

Erich watched as Savannah made a sudden movement toward the treeline.

"Hey, sollte ich mir Sorgen machen?"

He picked his head up and looked in the direction she was looking. If something bad happened he was screwed. He never carried weapons on him, and the more time he spent in America, the more he kept thinking that was a mistake.

"Haben Sie als Detektiv des Übernatürlichen viel Ärger?"

He was mentally preparing himself for whatever came next from out of the trees. Nothing good was his assumption, and he would make sure that this woman was unharmed. For the first time in a very long while Erich thought he could really use something. He knew what that something was, but he needed it now. Now it wouldn't just be for fun. He might actually pay for it for once.

Savannah shook her head as Rhage  came over and leaned in to speak into her ear.

"He was just spying on you my queen and taking pictures "

 She rolled her eyes as she looked back at enrich

"Nein, es wurde gepflegt. Meine Wachen haben den Mann, der Herrn beobachtet hat"

Erich nodded.

"Oh, es war nur ein Mann, der dich beobachtete?"

He relaxed again and let his head fall back and his eyes close once more.

"Bist du sehr wichtig oder sehr beliebt? Ich kann verstehen, ob es an deinem guten Aussehen liegt. Sie sind sehr attraktiv."

He would never watch someone from afar though. Only cowards or assassins did that sort of thing. Nobody with any kind of self worth would just sit in the shadows and watch.

Erich shook his head at the thought of the man who had been caught. He deserved whatever he got.

She rubbed her temples as she spoke to her guard. He left and took the guy with him and phury.

Turning turning back as she felt takes off her fedora, letting down her hair.

"Ja, das könnte man so sagen. Unter meinen Leuten bin ich ihre Königin."

A warm blush rose to her cheeks

Erich raised an eyebrow before letting one eye open to look at her. He watched as her hair cascaded out of her hat and down onto her shoulders. It slowed to a rest and Erich decided that she was more attractive to him with her hair down than with the hat on.

"Eine Königin? Du siehst definitiv aus wie eine Königin.

He lifted his head again and turned.

"Soll ich mich vor dir verneigen? Oder deine Hand küssen? Was ist das Protokoll hier? Ich gehöre nicht zu deinem Volk. Was tut ein Außenstehender, um Respekt zu zeigen?"

He slid slightly closer to her on the bench and then held out one hand to her so that he might be allowed to kiss her hand.

She blushed as he slid over to her, lifting a.hand gently to his. She began to laugh softly

"Nichts dergleichen. Nenn mich bitte Savannah. Wenn zu viele Leute es herausfinden, sind mein Leben und das meiner Babys in Gefahr."

Erich nodded.

"Savannah ist es dann. Trotzdem habe ich das Gefühl, ich sollte etwas anderes machen. Wenn Sie so respektiert werden, möchten Sie sicher nicht mit einem armen Mann auf einer Bank sitzen."

He gestured to his arm in a sling.

"Und ein Krüppel auch! Oh, wie die mächtige Savanne in schwere Zeiten geraten ist! Hier müssen wir Abhilfe schaffen! Wir werden eine würdige Gesellschaft für Sie finden."

Erich looked around the park and then gestured toward an older woman feeding ducks.

"Was ist mit dieser Frau? Sicher ist sie mehr wert. Sie hat in ihrem Leben viel gesehen und getan und man konnte aus ihren Lektionen lernen."

He winked at Savannah then.

Savannah laughed and shakes her head. Placing a warm hand upon his bad arm letting the heat heal it slowly.

"Oh Gott nein, ich beurteile Leute nicht nach Reichtum oder Macht Erich. Bitte bleib sitzen, es hilft mit jemandem zu reden."

Pulling back and looks away from him 

Erich nods.

"Alles klar dann. Ich bin zu Ihren Diensten Savannah. Es macht mir wirklich Spaß, hier mit dir zu sitzen. Sie sind eine sehr nette Frau, besonders wenn man bedenkt, dass ich ein Fremder bin."

He looks down at his arm a moment, unsure of why it felt a bit better all of a sudden.

"Und es scheint, als hättest du einen magischen Touch."
