Summary
Blood for blood, an eye for an eye. One case of a meddlesome fixer attempting to dig back up a problem for one of the larger gangs in Seattle leads to them trying to get back at her by ransoming off her own employee. This led to immediate escalation, and an investigation into the whereabouts of someone under the care of a former prime runner with a penchant for incredible violence when she takes the kiddie gloves off. Drek was about to go down.
Background
Hellsing had never been able to get the idea of what happened to an old client's partner and would-be spouse out of her head: a competent independent who seemed magically capable and skilled in his own right just disappearing out of nowhere? That was odd. And she had been spending the better part of the year after getting Penelope out of Seattle trying to get a lead on what exactly had happened to that guy.
Unfortunately, the Cutters had already gotten a bone to pick with the guy a while back. And having to poke around his old haunts that they were watching like a hawk was not a good way to garner their attention. Hellsing was a bit too high of a target for the regular goons to get, but they didn't NEED to get her if they could get someone they care about. And one of the most vulnerable in Hellsing's circle was an elven girl who worked at her bar, one Rina Montoya. A girl who didn't get tooo involved with the shadier part of the business beyond greeting guests and taking care of things in the bar. She wasn't a fighter, at least not compared to the ork in there or the damn vampire bitch running the place, and her place wasn't exactly the most well defended.
One small problem: Hellsing noticed immediately, because for a girl who has a 20 minute commute and a decades long streak of not missing a beat at work, she was gone an hour and climbing. And Hellsing is a paranoid fucking bitch.
