DCW...IRL?

[Kaitou Kid Legendary Thief 197]

Hmm... Let's try continue :V

------------

"John... Are THEY the guests you are talking about!?" KKLT threw a worried look at John.

"No. They are just some strangers who happen to stumble into this complicated maze-like building and happened to find themselves into this room-OF COURSE they are the people I'm talking about."

"That's not funny John..."

"Well you asked an obvious question..."

"Stop talking crap and start talking." A guy from the other team growled.

"Now now... We still have some other people we need to have here. Please be patient." John replied calmly.

"It better be quick. We still have matters to attend to." the girl(I hope she's a girl) from the other team slumped back into her seat. "I hope this is not boring..."

"By the way... should we do some introductions?" Monsi suggested.

"There's no need. We know all of you." the girl shrugged.

"But we don't."

"That's too bad then."

"...Just do it." KKLT glared at the girl, before turning it into a fake smile.

"Humph... very well then..." the girl answered before her smile turned to a grin. "How shall we do this?"

[Tsukiko 73]

Shannon-time! (Oh, this was kinda long...)

-- -- --

Shannon was driving around NYC with her car. After talking with that girl, Laela, she remembered an accident that had happened three years ago.

*Flashback*

"So you are going to Canada? To that organization?" Thirteen-year-old Laela - or Leah Satinwhite, like she was known earlier - asked from Shannon. They were on their way to a training center with some other FBI agents.

"Yeah, some months and I'll be there. I heard that my half-brother Crispin is there too. As a mole of course. He'll help me in the begining." Shannon answered.

"Aww, I can't meet you anymore then, Scruffy-Sarah."

"Don't call me like that."

"But everyone does."

"Cut it."

"Okay."

After silence that lasted for a while.

"Shannon, you know what? I'm gonna come too." Laela said suddenly. "To help you at the organization."

"What? It's dangerous!"

"Why not? I eavesdropped once when some agents talked and I heard there is also some kids as agents. Besides, I bet they won't except a kid to work for FBI."

"Uh... I'm not saying 'no' but you should talk to the boss first..." Shannon mumbled. Personally she thought Laela's words made sense but she wasn't sure...

Suddenly the driver who drove the van shouted: "Everyone, hold on tight!"

Shannon turned her head to see what was happening outside and saw a motorcyclist who seemed not to be able to stop. "Breaks have broken... That sign... Scarlet Riders..."

The van crashed to a corner of a tower block. The motor cyclist managed to stop but not before a wall of another building. Shannon coughed hard. Her arm was limp, probably broken, and head felt dizzy.

"Leah, are you alright?" She asked immediately and looked around in the van.

"Fine..." She heard a weak voice under her. "Next time when you try to protect me... Don't do it like that..." Laela smiled weakly.

"Is anything broken?" Shannon asked as she helped the girl up and tried to open the van's side-door.

"No. I'm fine. Luckily we were on the side that didn't hit the wall." Laela opened the door since Shannon's right arm didn't work. "Others weren't as lucky as we were."

"At least no one died... Leah, if you come to the organization too, I'll make sure nothing happens to you."

"Eh? So you think it's okay? That I might come?"

"I said 'if'. And that's a promise."

*flashback ends*

"Promise I broke..." Shannon mumbled. "Iram noticed the newspaper article about that accident and Rod told about it to Mark who killed Laela. And that same newspaper article revealed my identity too..."

She hit the gas pedalstal. "Damn you Scarlet Riders..."

-- -- --

Shannon feels slightly quilty.

Some thoughts about this:

*The motorcyclist was Remilia.(the reason why she prefers cars now) But she didn't know who were inside the van.

*Timeline:

Three years ago:

-Accident

Two and half years ago:

-LawScience student Shannon Lancaster disappears, organization gets a member named Samuel

About two years ago:

-Leah Satinwhite gets to the organization, newly-named to Laela(Iram and Samuel both help her at first)

One year ago:

-Laela dies after Rod recognizes her from an old newspaper article.

Some weeks ago:

-Rod notices from the same paper(he kept that article and checked it time to time) that 'Samuel' is in reality Shannon Lancaster, an FBI agent

-Shannon leaves the organization and almost dies

The newspaper article has been mentioned earlier:

"You know what? Boss doesn't like traitors. Or imposters, like you. We found a newspaper article. It said: "Missing, 25 year old student of law science, Shannon Lancaster". That article was two years old and the description that was in it matches with you." Rod smirked as Shannon's face blanched. "Hmh, it seems I'm right. We also found another piece of paper... It told about a car accident where several FBI agents were injured. There were photos about all of them. And you were there too."

These details would interfere with my own plans, so I'll remove these two. K?

[Kaitou Kid Legendary Thief 197]

These details would interfere with my own plans, so I'll remove these two. K?

And I thought of doing an introduction for them. =\

I'll leave the introduction up to you then~

[Wildheart888 170]

Hahaaa! I kneeew it would be them!! >xD

@Lia-chan: Oh. Nevermind. I'll change that again. ^^" Sorry..

[Tsukiko 73]

These details would interfere with my own plans, so I'll remove these two. K?

:V

[Aeyra 260]

************************************

"Does Nero stalk everyone in his free time?" Aeyra asked Chaos dryly as Chaos pulled out his phone, where Nero had just texted him. On the text was a live map, which conveniently showed the current locations of the kidnapped DCW members with flashing red lights. "When the hell did he get tracking bugs on all of us?"

"He has his ways," answered Chaos, plowing through another red light, angry horns and the screeching of brakes sounding from behind them. "Don't question them." Suddenly, Aeyra was thrown forwards despite the fact she was wearing her seat belt as Chaos went from 80 mph to 0 in a second flat, feeling the breath knocked out of her. "We're here."

"Are. You. Trying. To. Kill. Us?" Each word was accentuated, and Chaos and Krev rolled their eyes as Aeyra took in a deep breath, trying to recover the ten years that must have been shaved off of her life. "You could have at least given us a warning!!"

"He drives like that all the time. Him and Nero. But Nero's worse," said Brise comfortably, though it was obvious she hadn't suffered one bit from the wild car trip. "You get used to it, over time."

"There's no time to waste- we don't know what might be going on." Chaos cut into the conversation, starting to run off. "Follow me."

***************************************************

"Move out of the way."

"Chaos- it's locked. I don't think it's a good idea to-" started Krev as Chaos charged the door.

With inhumane strength and speed, Chaos's foot was almost invisible as it struck the door, sending it crashing down onto the floor where it landed with a heavy thump. The people in the room looked on in surprise, but four of them simply looked bored, as if they had expected it.

"I'm here to crash the party," Chaos smiled, settling back into his short devil era, where he had often been referred to as 'The Golden Demon.' That was before he had even been placed on a team, where he hadn't known friendship, love, when he knew nothing else but how to kill and torture. "It better not be over yet."

***************

Chaos broke into the room where everyone is. Nero should be joining shortly, probably holding coffee with Ari and Kei by his side because we kind of forgot about them...

[tengaku squared 291]

"Too slow."

In a blink of an eye, Barry appeared in front of Chaos, two fists together over his head, and attempted to hammer Chaos. He missed, but the result that happened next was more shocking: Barry broke the floor and caused the whole room to shake. In the process, he also got his fists stuck into the ground.

Samuel sighed and walked over to Barry to assist him in removing his fists from the floor, while Remilia took out two long curved daggers.

"I don't want to hurt you, Chaos. Just get out of here."

Rex groaned. "What is this, Remilia? Don't hesitate." He pulled out two Magnums and fired both of them consecutively at Chaos. Samuel, who happened to finally get Barry's fist out of the floor, assisted Rex with his own two pistols.

Chaos barely managed to dodge the flurry of bullets, and failed to notice Barry's fist rocketing into his stomach, causing Chaos to fly into the wall and make a noticeable imprint.

Remilia winced, then turned towards the door while the others took Chaos out of the wall, tied him up, and gagged him. Barry then threw Chaos over his shoulder. Rex sighed and said, "Looks like this is gonna be a hot spot. Luckily, I got just the thing." Rex pulled out a detonator and pressed the button, causing large explosions to shake the building. The debris caused the whole room to be covered in various kinds of dust, and when the dust cleared, Remilia, Barry, Samuel, and Rex were gone, with their hostage.

=======================

A/N: As you can see, Barry has superhuman strength. He typically fights with steel armor on his fists, but he was caught reasonably off-guard.

Remilia shared friendly history with Chaos in the past, which is why she didn't want to hurt him.

[IdentityUnknown 216]

IdentityUnknown stepped out, paid the taxi driver, and stood in front of the building in shock. Smoke was rising from several corridors and ambulances were all around. There were very few people outside of those exiting the buildings but the police seemed extremely serious.

IdentityUnknown ran towards the building when a policeman stopped her. "Ma'am, I'm afraid that you may not enter past this point. It's extremely dangerous and..."

Grabbing her wallet, IdentityUnknown flashed a card in front of him. "Authorized personnel," she muttered. "Let me through."

The man blinked slightly but allowed her through and IdentityUnknown breathed a sigh of relief before rushing in.

There was quite a bit of dust and IdentityUnknown coughed slightly as she entered the building when she saw a familiar figure stagger out. "KKLT!" she whispered through coughs.

"IU!" KKLT exclaimed before she began coughing again. "What...what are you doing--"

"Shh," IdentityUnknown silenced her. "Go straight until the end of the corridor, take a right and go down the stairs. I'll meet you outside after I see to the others." KKLT managed a nod before stumbling away.

John's office, John's office... IdentityUnknown thought as she raced through the debris. She couldn't see very well but she managed to locate it.

In around 30 minutes, everyone was evacuated. Many people had dust in their throat and were being treated by paramedics but KKLT, who had gotten out earlier than the rest was alright after a little water. IdentityUnknown sat down next to her.

"What happened?"

KKLT began to talk as IdentityUnknown listened.

"So Chaos was taken hostage?"

"That about sums it up," KKLT said grimly.

IdentityUnknown looked over at the rest of her team members, unsure about exactly what she wanted to do.

[Tsukiko 73]

So, now is Chaos's turn to be a hostage?

Okay, I'll continue with Shannon a bit more.

-- -- --

Shannon turned to watch the gps-screen in front of her. Three spots had stopped and one spot was coming towards them.

"I'm not interested where they are now but where they are coming from..." The woman mumbled and pressed a button in the screen. The device showed where the spots had been earlier.

[Aeyra 260]

********************************

"WHAT?! Chaos that idiot!!!!!" Nero screamed into the phone, blasting off the unfortunate Krev's eardrums. "I told him to be extra, extra, EXTRA CAREFUL!!!! Why the hell did you guys let him be captured!!!!"

"Sorry, Krev seems to be unable to hear at the moment," said Aeyra, taking the phone and holding it a good arm-length's away. "He's kind of holding his head like he has a concussion. Repeat yourself, without passing the 125 decibel mark please." She cautiously moved the phone closer, hoping she wouldn't suffer the same fate as Krev.

"I was just shouting at Chaos for being an idiot, that's all. The moment I get my hands on him I swear I'll kill him."

"That would kind of contradict the purpose of rescuing him, wouldn't it?" asked Aeyra dryly. "Do you have a plan, Nero?"

"Of course I have a plan, I always have a plan," he retorted. "I'm almost where you guys are- actually, screw that, I'm there."

There was a loud screech of tires and a stolen sports car barreled a few yards past them- they had barely managed to jump back in time to avoid it. And they had been standing on the sidewalk.

Nero hopped out of shotgun, holding a cell phone with another map on it. "This is Chaos's current location. Since they didn't kill him right on the spot, I presume they're going to use him to bargain with either us, in which case, we won't be met with much opposition, or to bait us into coming so they can use all of us as bargaining chips with the Organization. Which would be bad, because I believe half of you guys have a death sentence coming from the Organization."

"So, what do we do?" asked Brise, worriedly.

"We go and hide from the police, and wait for them to contact us."

"Police?" repeated Aeyra dubiously. "What pol-"

Loud sirens sounded from behind them- they had apparently been chasing the stolen, speeding car Kei had been driving.

"Those police."

[Tsukiko 73]

Okay, beacuse of my mum I had to interrupt this but now I continue.(and put the same beginging)

-- -- --

Shannon turned to watch the gps-screen in front of her. Three spots had stopped and one spot was coming towards them.

"I'm not interested where they are now but where they are coming from..." The woman mumbled and pressed a button in the screen. The device showed where the spots had been earlier: coming from a builing.

"Hmm... how about ten seconds earlier..." Shannon pressed another button and the spots changed their position again. Vanished was a better word for it though...

"Isn't that place?" Shannon frowned. She had never been in that building but she had heard about it a lot. A perfect place for observing the whole city.

Ten minutes later

Shannon rushed through the corridors. She had gotten in with an emergency code(36373629) and was now looking for the girl. After a while she found her, lying on the floor of the monitor room.

"Leah!" She automatically used that name.

"Thank god, she is just unconscious..." The FBI agent thought as checking the girl's pulse. "Hey, wake up. Leah... I mean, Laela." She shook the girl's shoulders gently and the girl frowned a bit.

"Uh... what..."

"Are you alright?"

"Think so... I guess I fainted..." The girl sat up carefully, holding her head.

"You shouldn't push yourself too hard." Shannon helped the girl up to stand on her own feet.

"I just looked for some information..."

"What kind of information?"

"No-, Nothing special..." The girl put the paper she was still holding in her hand to her pocket. Shannon gave her a look she didn't believe that explanation at all but nodded.

"Well, it seems you are alright. But you must be really careful."

"I know."

"Let's go."

"Let's - what?"

"You heard me. We are going now."

"Where?"

"To meet everyone else. And I think you really need some fresh air."

The girl followed Shannon to the woman's car. It was a dark green sportscar.

"Is this new one?"

"Pretty much. I had to leave my van to Canada so I bought this beauty."

"I see." They climbed in the car. Shannon gave a few items to the girl.

"Tsukiko's cell phone and notebook. And a pistol for you."

"And this?" The girl put the first two items to Tsukiko's shoulder bag she had taken with her just in case. Now she was holding the fourth item. It was kind of badge, very offical-looking one.

"Open it."

The girl opened the badge. "This..."

"It's your FBI badge, I have a similar one. Look at the date when it should have been given to you. One week before you died." Shannon started the engine of her car.

"Leah Satinwhite... It has been a while since I was called with that name." The girl put the badge to the pocket of her jacket and tied her hair to a high ponytail. "Now I'm more determinated than before. Let's go."

"Hmm... Ponytail... You didn't use that hairstyle when you were at the organization."

"Isn't it just good?"

"It really is." Shannon hit the gas and the green car drove away from the 'observation point'.

[Kaitou Kid Legendary Thief 197]

.... Do you guys REALLY have to do this all the time!?

What's the point of coming in for a meeting and leaving before it? *sighs*

Let's just assume that we already had our meeting then :V

Anyways... Let's continue.

----------------------

"So you meant Aeyra went with those guys too!?" IU asked.

"Yea..." KKLT answered hesitantly. "Um... IU... There is something..."

"... Hmmm?"

"Uh... I... It's nothing...haha~" KKLT forced a smile to cover her uneasiness.

"............. KKLT. You have something you're hiding from me aren't you?"

Everyone jerked their heads away from hearing this statement.

"EH!? No-no... nothing really..." KKLT shifted her gaze away from IU as she answered.

"Oh... really..."

KKLT nodded her head vigorously. Which somehow brought about an even tense atmosphere from the rest of the team. Everyone else was awfully quiet.

"You're horrible at lying. Especially to your comrades KKLT..." IU gave a long sigh.

"Haha. You figured?" KKLT chuckled. "You know I am actually pretty good at lying. I am just not good at hiding my concern..."

"Mmmmrhmmmm. Don't worry about it. I know John told you guys something. Go ahead and tell me."

"Hmmm... You sure?" KKLT shrugged nonchalantly. "It will blow you away~"

"KKLT!" WH shouted with a look of anxiety painted across her face. "How coul-how could you..."

"It concerns her as well... and... don't you want to know the truth?"

"But it may not be true! And... and we only know half of the truth. There are still some things that we missed out! This is... this is... totally... ridiculous..."

WH fell weakly onto the ground. Everyone somehow seemed to be shocked and confused. It's nothing surprising though. They had just known something which might change the outlook of things.

"So... what is it that John told you guys...?" IU turned to look at everyone, and eventually her gaze stopped at KKLT.

KKLT took a glance at everyone too. WH was hinting at KKLT shaking her head.

"So... KKLT?" IU probed.

Finally KKLT looked up at IU. Her expression was dead serious. "Whatever I am going to say now, may not be the absolute truth, nor is it verified, but... this is something I heard or 'understood' from the conversation with John. In any case... I think 'he' invited you to tell you about it so... listen carefully..."

"..."

"You might have... a rather complicated relationship... with the organization... IU..."

".. rmmmh? What... do you mean?"

"...KKLT don't." WH begged.

"No. Continue KKLT." IU furrowed her brows. "What do you mean by... relationship?"

"You..." KKLT closed her eyes for a moment.

"... Might actually be the descendent of the boss of the organization..."

The entire place fell eerily silent for a moment.

".......!!!???" was the expression on IU's face.

"...Ex... boss... to be exact..." a look of anxiety appeared on KKLT's face when IU did not seem to be responding. "... I know you aren't even absorbing what I just said... Let's talk this out somewhere else where the police won't be around... John has accompanied the police to the headquarters. We can't stay here now. I'll explain what I meant and what we had heard in the room."

KKLT got up and looked at everyone else. "Let's go."

---------------------

It's already messed up as it is :V Doesn't hurt to mess it up even further.

[Misaki-chan 164]

Holy crap. That was... quite a plot twist. Might as well write; I've been rather lazy here for a while.

---------

Misaki and the other girls covered their ears as Nero began to yell angrily (and loudly) into his phone. "WHAT?! Chaos that idiot!!!!! I told him to be extra, extra, EXTRA CAREFUL!!!! Why the hell did you guys let him be captured!!!!"

Chaos was captured?! What the... The opponents must have been strong or caught him off guard... Though the former is more likely.

From her short stay at the Org, she found out and knew well that Chaos was strong and could fight very well. Taking him down would be no easy task. Nero finally stopped yelling before listening what the person on the other end had to say and replied coldly, "I was just shouting at Chaos for being an idiot, that's all. The moment I get my hands on him I swear I'll kill him."

Once again, he paused to listen to the other person. "Of course I have a plan, I always have a plan," he retorted. "I'm almost where you guys are- actually, screw that, I'm there."

The car stopped suddenly, jerking everyone forward and causing Neechan to hit her head. "OW!" she cried before rubbing her head.

Nero ordered, "Get out of the car and go meet your friends."

The three girls nodded and exited the car quickly. Outside were ambulances, a large pile of debris where a building once stood, and people milling around. Chelsea noticed kaichou and the others by an ambulance and said, "They're over there!"

They began to walk over there when a man stopped them. "Let us through," Misaki told him.

"No, only authorized personal allowed."

"Our friends are over there, and we want to see them!"

"I don't care."

The young girl paused, pouting a little, before kicking the guy in the balls. He cried out in pain before sinking down to the ground. Meanwhile, she began running towards the others. "Come on guys! Hurry up," she yelled.

Chelsea and Neechan nodded before sprinting as well over to the others. It only took a few seconds to reach them, but everyone was silent. No one seemed to notice their presence. Neechan asked, "Are you all ok?"

It was then when they were noticed. Kaichou said, "O-oh, you're all here. Good. Where's Nero?"

Chelsea answered, "He's talking with his group. So what happened?"

Legend replied, "Well, our group got kidnapped, ended up in the building now in debris, we... met with someone, the building started to collapse and then we escaped."

Misaki said, "Oh, are you all alright?"

They all nodded before she sighed in relief, "Good..."

A hand on her shoulder caused her to turn around and see another man, same uniform as the one she had kicked, who said, "You are not authorized to be here. You must leave."

He grabbed her wrist and began to pull her away. Before she could begin to argue, kaichou pulled out her wallet and flashed it to him. "These girls are with me."

He took a look at it before quickly releasing her and apologizing, "Sorry for the inconvenience."

He left hurriedly. The older girl continued, "Well, now that we've all met up, let's go see Nero and the others."

-----

Ta da. \o/

[Wildheart888 170]

Whoaaa...xDD Awesome, KKLT! Nice twist~ >x3

Good job, Mi-chan! \o/

[Kaitou Kid Legendary Thief 197]

"See Nero...?" KKLT paused for a moment. "No. We're not going to see him. Not yet."

KKLT thought for a moment before whispering to the girl beside her. "IU... The things you need to know... cannot be known by those guys."

"Huh..?"

"It's not something that simple... Depending on how you and they look at things, they might become your enemy in future..."

"..." IU pondered for a moment. "How about you guys then?"

"Heh." KKLT smirked. "You don't trust us?"

"No. Not that... but..."

"Don't worry." KKLT smiled confidently. "We'll be standing on your side. We'll trust in you. So... Trust us."

"Thanks." IU finally forced a smile on her face. "In that case, let's go meet up with Nero then..."

"Eh!? I thought I just told you..."

"No problem KKLT..."

"BUT...!"

"KKLT..."

"Yea...?"

"You said you'll trust me right?"

"Yes..."

"Then that's enough. I'll trust in all of you"

"IU..."

The girl returned smile.

"But... there is some other information which you might need to know about as well..."

"There is?"

KKLT looked back at every one who seemed to be nodding their heads this time round.

"This... is something that we should not discuss with those guys as well..." KKLT lowered her voice. "This entire situation... is going to get more ridiculous..."

"... Anything to do with why Chaos was captured?"

"..." KKLT lowered her head in silence.

------------------------------------------

:rolleyes:

[tengaku squared 291]

"I think I can explain this situation."

The voice came from a young man with his face covered by his sport's visor. At first, neither of them could recognize his man, until he turned his head upwards, such that his face was revealed.

"...Hunter."

Hunter, for a second, gave a grin, then he regained his calm composure. "The whole situation is much larger than you know. Various gang leaders have teamed up to form the Axis organization, and they're about to wage war against the Organization. The Organization has their plans, and now they're about to put them in full motion."

In precisely a week from now, this whole world will be torn apart by war. You may not have noticed with your current...ordeals, but the current political environment is about to erupt into flames."

Hunter paused for a moment, grabbed a water bottle from his belt, took a drink, then replaced the bottle.

"The Axis are planning to use Chaos as bait to capture Nero. They hope that by using Nero, they can call off the Organization. Unfortunately for them, Nero holds a very, very low position if you compared them to Mark, Rex, and even me. The Organization won't stop for one person.

Of course, the Axis should know this, since Samuel and Rex have both been in the Organization and know the inner workings. I'm not sure why the Axis want to progress with this plan anyways."

Hunter paused, looked around, and took a breath. "Don't get me wrong. I'm not helping you."

"Then why did you tell us this?"

Hunter froze for a moment, then gave a cold stare. "I thought it'd be...nice...if you had all your affairs in order. You have one week. Use it wisely."

Hunter pulled down his visor, covering his face, and walked away calmly like nothing happened.

========================================

DAY ONE

SIX DAYS REMAIN UNTIL WORLD WAR

[Monsi 51]

Um, are we now close to meeting with Nero and co. ? I want to get my memory back now...

[tengaku squared 291]

Um, are we now close to meeting with Nero and co. ? I want to get my memory back now...

I don't keep track of your side of the story that well, so I can't know for sure. It seems so, though.

[Tsukiko 73]

My turn to write! Whee! I'm messing up even more!

[Kaitou Kid Legendary Thief 197]

Tsukiko you're writing?

I hope we don't conflict...

-------------------------------

"...Is that true?" IU turned to KKLT.

"Yea... At least... Most of what he just said are within the 'half' of the information that John told us." KKLT nodded. "However..."

The tense atmosphere continue to grow. Everyone sensed the danger of another possibility.

"... I have a feeling... That there is still something that we don't know yet..."

"... What... do you mean?" IU asked cautiously.

KKLt took a deep breath. "You know we were interrupted by Chaos breaking through the wall right?"

IU nodded.

"This is the last sentence that John spoke of before we got interrupted in exact quotation..."

"I know you guys(Remilia and team) have already known about most of what we've just shared... since that is the supposed 'truth' behind all the happenings up until now... However..."

Everybody went silent.

"I get it..." commented IU after a moment of thought. "... supposed... up until now... However..."

"... Yes... There are still more of what we do not know yet..."

"...so you mean... the situation might get even more ridiculous?" Wh choked.

"Perhaps..."

"That's not a very hopeful answer KKLT..."

"So what do you suggest we do now then IU?"

"We need to know the whole truth... We need to find John."

"But KKLT, he's been taken by the police."

"Since its just for questioning, I'm sure he'll be out soon."

"You know... its a matter of illegal taking up of arms... The government wouldn't take this lying down."

"... Come to think of it... Why hasn't the government done anything much to stop all this up til now?"

"... Quite true... The organization has been pretty active in their operations lately..."

"Anyhow... we should find a way to get to John..."

"I have his number. We can send him a message. But it might be dangerous because he is with the police now."

"I know where that guy is." A girl with a ponytail stopped in her tracks a meter away from the team. "I'll lead you guys to him."

"You... you're fro-from THAT time!" Misaki pointed her finger to the girl in shock.

"Yes she is Misaki..." KKLT assured her before turning back to the girl. "We would be grateful. Could you?"

"This way."

-----------------------------------

I feel... sleepy >__<

[Tsukiko 73]

Oh, shit I was almost finished and pressed the preview post button but then my whole post vanished! I have to start again now!

[Tsukiko 73]

A new try... Since now I'm using Leah about the girl I'm writing. You can call her Tsukiko/Laela/Leah... what ever you think it's suitable for the situation.

-- -- --

Tsukiko's cell phone rang and Leah took it from the girl's back. She checked the caller's ID and frowned as she noticed three things: the number was recently saved and there was only one call from this call. And the way it was named... It was only one letter: M.

"Shannon, can you track down where this call is called?"

"Sure. No problem."

"Good..." Leah answered.

"Hello?"

"Is that you Tsukiko?" The answer came. Leah frowned even deeper. She vaguely recognized the voice but she wasn't sure. The voice continued speaking then: "Or is that you, Laela?"

"How'd you know?"

"A good guess."

"Then now is my turn to guess... You are Mark, aren't you? Why are you calling to Tsukiko?"

"We are kind of co-operating un-officially."

Tsukiko sat in a cafeteria in New Jersey and wrote down the information she had just gotten from Shannon. Her cell phone vibrated and she took it out from her pocket. She didn't recognize the number but was relieved it wasn't one of her friends.

"Hello? Who's this?"

"It's me... Mark."

"Why are you calling to me?"

"I'm asking for help."

"Help? You? Why? Besides, shouldn't you be dead?"

"The thing I'm asking is actually pretty easy. Just keep an eye on IU."

"Why should I keep an eye on your girlfriend?"

"Haven't you find weird some things she is doing?"

"If you mean her disappearings and all those connection... yes."

"Then you understand what I mean. Now-"

"Tell me one thing... Do you feel quilty because of killing that girl named Laela? I know you killed her and I also know I resemble her pretty much? Is that the reason you're asking for my help?"

"Nothing like that. At that time I just followed orders. The reason why I chose you is pretty simple. The organization knows the less about you and it's the hardest for them to replace you with someone."

"Is that because I live in Finland? It's so small country that there is nothing interesting to be found out?"

"Correct."

"And that also makes sense with your words you said when you came to meet me before our group left to Canada..."

"What did I say then? I don't bother to remember everything..."

"You said: 'If I can't trust in you, who can I then?' Or something like that..."

"Well then, are you co-operating with me or not?"

"Yes, un-offically..." Tsukiko paused for a moment and watched over her shoulder. A black van parked right outside the cafeteria.

"What now?"

"I got some problems... The organization is behind me because of that resemblance I just mentined to you."

"I see. I'll call you later." Mark hung up and Tsukiko drank her tea. Then she wrote a message for her friends and wen to pay her tea. She wasn't going to give her cell phone to Rod or anyone else.

Leah smirked. It was amazing how well Tsukiko had hidden that memory from her.

"I see. When you tried to call to Tsukiko for the second time I answered, right?"

"Yes."

"Was that everything?"

"Kind of. If I can't talk with Tsukiko I have nothing else to say."

"Well, bye then. But if you think I have forgiven you, you are wrong. I'm just talking calmly right now."

"I'd never think anything like that."

The call ended.

"Did you get his location?"

"Yes."

"Then... there is a change of plans. We are going to meet him. I wanna hear more about this everything... and also co-operate." Leah put sunglasses on her face and smirked. "I can't wait for meeting him..."

"...Is that true?" IU turned to KKLT.

"Yea... At least... Most of what he just said are within the 'half' of the information that John told us." KKLT nodded. "However..."

The tense atmosphere continue to grow. Everyone sensed the danger of another possibility.

"... I have a feeling... That there is still something that we don't know yet..."

"... What... do you mean?" IU asked cautiously.

KKLt took a deep breath. "You know we were interrupted by Chaos breaking through the wall right?"

IU nodded.

"This is the last sentence that John spoke of before we got interrupted in exact quotation..."

Everybody went silent.

"I get it..." commented IU after a moment of thought. "... supposed... up until now... However..."

"... Yes... There are still more of what we do not know yet..."

"...so you mean... the situation might get even more ridiculous?" Wh choked.

"Perhaps..."

"That's not a very hopeful answer KKLT..."

"So what do you suggest we do now then IU?"

"We need to know the whole truth... We need to find John."

"But KKLT, he's been taken by the police."

"Since its just for questioning, I'm sure he'll be out soon."

"You know... its a matter of illegal taking up of arms... The government wouldn't take this lying down."

"... Come to think of it... Why hasn't the government done anything much to stop all this up til now?"

"... Quite true... The organization has been pretty active in their operations lately..."

"Anyhow... we should find a way to get to John..."

"I have his number. We can send him a message. But it might be dangerous because he is with the police now."

"I know where that guy is." A girl with a ponytail stopped in her tracks a meter away from the team. "I'll lead you guys to him."

"You... you're fro-from THAT time!" Misaki pointed her finger to the girl in shock.

"Yes she is Misaki..." KKLT assured her before turning back to the girl. "We would be grateful. Could you?"

"This way."

[Kaitou Kid Legendary Thief 197]

You know that in my part, Hunter informed you a bit, right?

In any case, I'm taking it that I was pre-informed by John a little of the situation already... I expected something different, but that is fine too~

But is there anything that you might want to add~ Cuz I am going to mess everything up in the end~ :V

Oh yea. And I know. I was continuing from your part.
