A silhouette sat in the alley where goons and thugs hung out to plan or to have a break, unbothered of course despite that the figure did not seem to belong. Up close, maybe in the dim light it just looked like another punk that seemed to probably be one of those wannabe thugs or something... But a closer look, it seemed that this guy did not seem to be interested in any of it. Seeming more ambition or power hungry than the thugs around the area.
But one could sense, this guy did not feel human, at least not anymore. The scent of death and the musky inhuman aura was on this man, could be a guy that might be on the side of evil but it seemed like he was hiding from something.. or keeping low. He was content of course, seemingly patient and keeping to himself.
This man, of course, was Jacoby Shadows. But its not that many would know, but several would know him as the guy who escaped his ten year sentence after he was a test subject to a science project. But they don't know what he was a test for, since he looked very much the same when he was thrown in the slammer. it seemed he was waiting for something... but what?
Perhaps it was something he wanted to happen, something to keep him from the boredom that antagonizes him. Whatever it was, he seemed eager for it.

The sound of wolf whistles and cat calls began to echo through the alleyway followed by the clacking of heels on the pavement, the noises stopped as the clacking ceased just short of Jacoby. The soft, yet controlled tone of a feminine voice began to speak up, "You're Mr. Shadows, correct?"
The owner of the voice was a attractively built woman in her thirties, clothed in a black blazer & knee length skirt combo with a white button up blouse underneath it. Her blue eyes were up until now covered by a pair of sunglasses shadowed by medium length auburn hair, "By the description given by my employer, you would be."

Jacoby turned his head as he was addressed by the woman, and stood from his seat with his arms crossed over his chest. He mentally wondered what this woman would want him for... Or the employer she mentioned about and tilted his head off to the side. "Then you are correct... I'm Jacoby Shadows. Might I ask why there's an interest upon me?" He asked, might as well get some answers. Its not often someone would take interest in the likes of him, since hes laying on the low.

"My boss will explain the exact reasons for why he wants you of all possible individuals, if you would follow me." she replied, bowing her head some as she spoke before raising her gaze up to him with a small tilt of the head, "The only thing I was really told, is that he believes that some one of your particular talents can help him."
Her tone was genuinely sincere, after all she was just a mere assistant to her boss, and any elaborated information that was given to her was generally given only if she needed to know any further, in which on this sort of occasion it was not. "I'm sorry, he can be selective of what I should know, so I don't know any more than I've told you."
She turned away from him toward the way she had come from, looking over her shoulder at Jacoby, "His car isn't far from here, just at the end of the alleyway... if you would like to know more, then please, follow me."

Jacoby slide his arms to his side, he got some answers and he was quite curious. So he followed the woman, whatever her boss wants from him it better be good. He followed the woman down the alleyway, his mind wondering out of its curiosity and feeling the mental tingle as his symbiote half gave off an excited feeling.
He mentally calmed it down, no need to start a scene right now. It was best to remain calm and collected, and handle this as businesslike as possible.

The assistant stopped at a black limousine, opening the rear passenger door to allow Jacoby access into the vehicle. She stood by the car as she waited for the young man to enter, then closing the door as he did. Inside of the back of the limo it was dark with heavily tinted windows to perfectly suit his weakness to light, however.. the shadows were a little thicker near the front, where the assistant's employer could only be assumed to be. The car started , and the subtle vibrations of its movement could be felt, and it remained absolutely silent within, the view was blocked between the driver's and passenger's areas, leaving the two in complete isolation.
"My apologies for any interruption that I may have incurred upon you, Mr. Shadows." the voice of an older male spoke up, cutting through the darkness and silence after a long few minutes, "..But I believe I have an offer that, if you'd excuse how cliché it may sound, you cannot refuse."

"Its not like I was doing anything important." Jacoby said, chuckling some, the other man didn't need to apologize for anything. After all, the hybrid was starting to like what he saw, eyes slightly glowing in a reddish hue to see in the dark. Despite how sensitive he was in the light, he was still capable of seeing in the darkness.
Jacoby raised a brow at the man, smirking slightly at what he said, "An offer.... To be honest with you, you are the first to come to me of all people for this offer. What exactly about me that caught your attention..? Things like this I am curious about... As well as my other friend is curious... We just wish to know if this is really worth our interest."

"For one thing, your other half... I am quite aware of what you are, Mr. Shadows." As Jacoby's eyes converted themselves to see in the dark, the other male was an attractive man despite the age that he was perceived at, from outside appearances he seemed as a middle-aged man still in top form from what could be seen beyond the tailored deep colored business suit. He had one leg crossed over the other with his hands relaxed at his sides, supported by the arm rests of his seat. He made no movements, no possible gestures as he continued to speak, his eyes fixed on the younger male before him.
"...I know how you came to be with it, and I believe it may be of a great benefit to the vision I have for this city. You and I are not normal men by any means, there are aspects of us that belong to something greater than the mere humans of this planet." his tone remained controlled with a very matter-of-fact tone to it, "There is another one of us that is stranded without its host, another one of us that I believe you may have a certain connection to."

Jacoby narrowed his eyes slightly, how did this man know him so well? Unless... Yes that could be a good answer. As attractive this other man is, he could sense this male is not fully human--much like himself. Strange how his symbiote half started to notice, but he decided to shrug it off for now. "I'm interested..." He said as the other explained, then mentioned about another... He recognized this other one, as did his symbiote half.
"The one called Venom. We are aware, we are basically a clone of him, only slightly modified. But we did not realize he was separated..." Jacoby said, his alien half also taking part in the speech. "Not until now..." He smirked.

"I am aware of the elements of your 'birth'," he continued, his eyes closing for a moment while he continued to speak, "...Which is the reason why I have chosen you, due to the fact that you were born out of unnatural means from one who may have been almost ready to spawn, himself. Since you are a part of him, you would have an easier time to find this 'Venom' and bring him to me."
If Jacoby and the symbiote he was fused with would sense it.. the strange thing about this man, though, was the sense that nothing was inside or outside of his form. He felt vaguely like a symbiote, and yet he was something different.. something altered, unnatural himself, and not meant to be... an abomination.
"Venom was separated following an encounter with Spider-Man, his host locked away in a mental health institution... As much influence I have over this city, I could not find the facility where our lost brother," he seemed to use the word as a generalization, and not literal, "-"-could possibly be held captive. And that, is where you come in, Mr. Shadows.."

Jacoby intertwined his fingers together, eyes still on the attractive boss man. "Yes... It would be easier for us to find both of them." He admitted, leaning back against the seat he was in, eyes still in their slight red glow. He could not help but take in the detail that this man didn't seem to really come off as something else as much...
Like it was an altered human being, but difficult to notice if its really human. Though Like the male said, they both are somewhat alike, so did it mean the other was also symbiote? He could not put his finger on it. But beside what exactly his new friend is, he spent his mind on Venom, yes... he could find the symbiote and its original host. It would be easy for him to pinpoint the symbiote... But would it be easy for him to find Brock?
"We'll do it..." He said, keeping a firm glance on his acquaintance, " We will find venom... an its host... But... If we succeed. What will be our reward?" Jacoby asked, on behalf of his symbiotic half.

"A mere small wealth, of course, and peace of mind to know you would be greatly helping our kind gain a foothold on this planet..." he began, giving a small laugh as he leaned forward, his gaze piercing ahead toward the younger male. He could see some interest, not only in what he had said but also in his form, coming from Jacoby, "Why, young one? Did you expect something else?"

The hybrid raised a brow, wealth was not important to him... it was his honor. "We do not mind wealth, though it is not a necessity. Not anymore. " His expression unchanged from its normal neutrality as he noticed the hint of interest. What was the other male getting at?
"What we need now, is nutrition to keep our survival. Perhaps also assistance with occasional release... we hope you know what we mean by that..."

The man merely nodded, he was capable of providing both of what Jacoby stated he needed, those each had minimal effort to obtain, what little humanity he had in his genetics encompassed the need for occasional recreational copulation. It had become standard practice to him, and a practice he had grown accustomed to from his teenage years, albeit against his will for the most part.
"I can provide you with both of those, Jacoby.." he replied softly, his body relaxing back to its previous position, leg unfolding off the other as if giving an unspoken invitation if the other male wished to come any closer, "..So long as you remain obedient to my cause, you shall always attain the sustenance you so desire."

Jacoby's expression still unchanged, although he payed a lot of attention to the mans body language. He became slightly amused, but did not show it on his face, only in his eyes. "Very well..." He ended, eyes still watching the other male, noticing the invitation and contemplating on if he should make a move.
The hybrid was curious with what his new friend has, and his eyes giving off that desire sort of emotion... The symbiote half whispering in his mind to take a taste of his reward before he begins his first job. He did long for release, for it had been far too long for him.
