His pet project was put on hold when he received a call from an Atharim contact. The conversation was familiar; a discussion of the weather, how his morning run went, how the caller's kids were doing in school. It was all perfectly boring and sounded more like a check-in-the-box sort of conversation then a real call between friends. Maybe strained family relations. Certainly not friends, but not enemies either.
The hunter they were sending his way would be able to meet him at the safehouse, so Hood didn't have much to do to prepare. A quick shower, a load of laundry cycled through. Breakfast was suitably hearty and downed with a cup of coffee, and by the time the Atharim hunter had arrived, a few dozen fresh holes were punched into a large dartboard-like target mounted on the wall near the weight bench, a trio of throwing knives bit deeply into the cork.
The sound of a vehicle pulling into the driveway was confirmed by a warning beep on his Landwarriors; there were motion sensors mounted on the outside of the safehouse, warning him of any movement in the immediate area. By the time the visitor was on the step and approaching the door, Hood had already taken a glance via a camera mounted there, and pulled the door open to meet the Atharim hunter.
