Regrouping, planning, and preparing.

As the three women left the church, Larisa led the way towards the lounge, but they found Rondo and Mason along the way. They were standing outside of a tavern and waved the women over before going inside. Once the group was gathered around a table and Mason had copped a feel of the bar maid's ass while ordering drinks, Venus laid out what the bishop had told them. Once she finished both men sat back thinking about the options they had as well. After a moment Mason sighed.

"We have three real leads to follow with this. One is the records in the catacombs, then the brothel, and then the women who were ****.... We only have enough people to send teams of two to two of the sites. The other will have to go alone. When we got to the lounge I learned that Loxley is currently out of the city pursuing leads about a vampire attack in a nearby town, so our last team member can't join the fun."

"Then we will just have to make due. The brothel will be the safest to explore if one of us pretends to be a worker there, so our single person can take that job. Give me a moment to think."

All eyes were on Venus as she tried to outline a plan in her mind. The **** women were acting oddly. If there was more than just the rapes to that, it would be hard to detect, but Rondo's nose could pick up something. He would need a guide that knew the city so she was thankful that he and Mason were getting along now. She had noticed the look that passed between them when Mason grabbed that girl's ass. As for the catacombs, she didn't think searching through documents would be too hard or dangerous. Rose was always curious about something so she could handle that.

It was the brothel that really worried her. She wanted to have a look at that herself to make sure the right questions were asked and that the pace was searched thoroughly. But she knew Rondo wouldn't like that. Larisa was beautiful and could pass for a whore if she dolled herself up a bit, so she would have to do it and Venus go with Rose. She thought this plan would work nicely, but once she told everyone, she found out differently.

"M-m-me? Go to the brothel," Larisa asked looking scared and fidgety. Venus was about to assure her that she would be fine when Mason spoke up.

"Larisa doesn't work alone. She is too shy and withdrawn from people to handle it. So either I go with her pretending to be a customer or one of you girls has to go."

"I'll not let one of my mates become a whore for a day just to get some information," Rondo growled, his eyes starting to turn golden. Lobo obviously didn't like that idea either.

"Fine, I'll go with her! Don't give me that look Rondo, we are going to get information, that is all. We will go in, ask some questions and look around, then get out. No fucking until I see you that night ok?"

Rondo looked at Venus for a few moments, clearly trying to control his anger. He took a few deep breaths and then closed his eyes and nodded. With that done, Venus called an end to the meeting and it was decided that they would start first thing in the morning. Mason went to set up a meeting time for him and Rondo to see the **** victims while Rose and Rondo headed back to the Lounge to check their supplies and prepare for their own jobs. That left Venus with Larisa. Neither women owned anything that would work for pretending to be a whore, so Venus had suggested they go shopping.

Venus and Larisa found a small clothing store that would suit their needs, but the girl was still fidgety. The whole walk from the tavern to the store, she didn't speak at all but kept giving Venus nervous glances. Then while looking for proper clothing, she hardly searched for anything at all. Finally Venus had to pick out something for both of them. For herself she had chosen a pair of black leather boots had a small heel on them and went up to her knees, and a matching black mini skirt and strapless top that showed off her tight belly. The top also had a V in the front that would show off her cleavage while presenting her already full tits as even fuller. For Larisa she picked a red dress that went below her knees, but had a slit up one side to allow for easier movement. It wasn't nearly as bold as what Venus had chosen for herself, but it would show off her beauty.

Venus approached Larisa with her findings and the girl quickly grabbed a red beret to go with her dress. Although it would look nice, Venus had to ask why she felt she needed it. Larisa looked around and then took her to one of the changing rooms at the back of the store. Once inside the small, cramped room, she pressed her back to one of the walls and closed her eyes.

"Have you thought about having kids with Rondo?"

"I haven't given it any thought, why?"

"Because although most children created from a pairing like you two comes out either fully human or a were like him, there are exceptions. Children caught in the middle."

Larisa reached up and pulled off her leather cap, revealing two cat ears. This caught Venus off guard and she started to stare. When Larisa opened her eyes and noticed, she quickly put the hat back on.

"That is why I don't get close to people. Mason knows about it and protects me, Loxley thinks I need to be killed like a monster. I don't have the confidence to do this Venus."

"Larisa, you will be fine. I'll be right there with you. I don't care about your ears. Actually I think they are kind of cute!"

"R-really?"

Venus took the girl into her arms and hugged her.

"Yes and I promise I will keep you safe. If you can't believe in yourself, then believe in me."

"Ok. I will try."

With that settled, Venus led her out of the changing room and they bought their outfits. Venus decided against showing her husband what she was planning to wear to the brothel. When they arrived back at the lounge, Larisa hurried off to her room, barely speaking to any of the other gathered Hunters. Venus followed her example and headed for her room as well. She had barely made it to the door when she heard Rose moaning lustfully and Rondo grunting with exertion.

Venus opened the door carefully and slid in as quietly as she could. Rose was on her hands and knees on the bed, naked in all her beautiful glory as Rondo took her from behind. He was pounding into her pussy hard and his knuckles were turning white from how hard he was gripping her. Venus caught a flash of gold in his eyes and realized he was still upset about what was going to happen tomorrow and decided to let him work out his frustration. She quickly stripped by the door and prepared to join them.
