So, here's the second chapter.

It's mainly William in this chapter.

Remember, this is in William's point of view!


Setting Up A Plan

"Miss Astaire has had a meeting with Peter." Brendon told me as he walked into my office. He didn't even bother to knock.

"When was it?" I asked. I decided not to punish him for his blatant rudeness.

"Not more than twenty minutes ago." he replied "The meeting was at O'Leary's."

"Do you have Tom waiting in the foyer?" I asked Brendon.

"Yes I do William." he replied "Shall I bring him in?"

"Yes, please do." I told him "I can't wait to speak with him."

Brendon left the room and was back in moments with Tom, the owner of O'Leary's. Tom took a seat and Brendon stood in front of the door, looking on in silence.

"Hello Tom." I said "I heard that Peter Wentz had a meeting with a lovely lady in your restaurant not long ago."

"Miss Astaire was beautiful." Tom said "She looked like Marilyn Monroe almost."

"What did Peter talk with her about?" I asked.

"Theys talked about his vampire huntin' group." Tom began "And theys talked about your group, Mr. Beckett."

"What did Peter tell Miss Astaire about the Dandies?" I asked.

"Alls he said was that yous were dangerous and that he thought one of yous was interested in Miss Astaire." he replied.

"Was there anything else said at all?" I asked Tom.

"Yeah, there was one more thing." he replied "Pete told Miss Astaire that she had a lot of power insides of her."

"Thank you for the information Tom." I said "Brendon will show you out."

"You're welcome Mr. Beckett." Tom said.

Once Tom was gone, I breathed a sigh of relief. I hated dealing with uneducated simpletons like him, but that was the only way to get information in this town. I poured myself a cup of tea and sipped on it while I waited for Brendon to return.

"I greatly dislike Tom O'Leary." Brendon said. He never hated anyone, he just "greatly disliked" them.

"I do as well Brendon." I said "But it's people like him that supply most of our information."

"So what's your plan for Miss Astaire?" my right hand man asked.

"Starting tomorrow I want Matt and his men out on the streets looking for her. And I want Spencer and his men out tomorrow night looking for her. Once she is found, she will be brought directly to me. No one is allowed to stop looking until she is found." I replied "I'll put in the calls to Spencer and Matt myself."

"So this is serious?" Brendon asked.

"Yes, it is." I replied.

I almost always had Brendon put in my calls for me. I hated dealing with people. The only time I ever made an exception would be when it was something very important to me.

"Brendon, I need Miss Astaire here." I said "She is the most important thing to me right now."

"What will you do with her?" he asked.

"I will wine, dine and romance her, of course." I replied "But she is also a very important part of my plan. If I don't have her, it'll fall apart at the seams."

Brendon and I sat in silence for a while. I drank some more tea and just thought. My thoughts were mainly focused on Emeline Astaire, the perfect girl.


Alright, there's the second chapter. In chapter three, William and Emeline will meet. (Yay!)

I hate Tom. He's such a weird character.

Please review.

I'll keep dreaming. Not another word sweetheart. Nothing is perfect.
