What a stink hole, the place around the building reeked of death and decay, it was dark and shadowed and foreboding. It was perfect. Talomar Longden had not lied, the WestEnd was definitely a place for his kind of business, he stared at the store front, a two story brick building with windows in the lower half to show off as a store front, all broken of course, and more smaller windows upstairs.
He approached the door, his eyes looking at it with distaste and in a finery of mist he was suddenly standing inside the building in the middle of the floor, his boot heels crunching on broken glass that littered the old wood floor. He appraised it as if he was staring at the ugliest place in the world, it was bigger then he had first realized as he walked into the back room, his gaze sweeping the area. The floors were all hard wood and upon examining the down stairs he found that the old beams of the basement had held up well, the basement its self was perfect.
Marcus smirked before he turned to head back up to the main floor before slipping up that stairs to look around up there, yes this would be perfect, but it would need work, lots of work. The location was great and the old brownstone next door would serve his purposes wonderfully, yes. He smiled and walked to the window to peer down into the encompassing darkness, yes this would suit his needs well.
He would have to get a little help from Talomar, if only to just find the owner of the annoying little building and the house beside, then it would be a matter of rebuilding it. He would rebuild it, the windows would have to be replaced, shelving built, the place would have to be cleaned, and the house next door too would have to be prepared, that would be time consuming, but he had all the time in the world.
He was after all immortal. Marcus withdrew a silver inlaid flask and smiled softly to himself before raising it to his lips in silent toast before letting the thick red liquid pour down his throat, sating his hunger. Soon it would be his, all his, for a minute the building seemed to be surrounded by mists, when they cleared Marcus Crow was gone.
