I'll bite your legs off!
Hospital

. “Look... it's not an ideal situation; but it's how things are. It's either this... or abuse my powers as a noble. Tell me, which is better? To sacrifice an aspect of my life for what I believe, or to engage in the same activity I condem?”


Didymus was actually quieted for a bit.

"I...I don't know. I'd say the former, I suppose...but what about the other repercussions? What kind of things will he even DO on the council? More importantly, how will it effect YOUR standing in it?"

He paused.

"...listen, Malvin, please..." he sounded like he was...pleading.

"...there's so much I could say about this. I just want to ensure you've at least considered all options, because...well, there's time for this talk when you're all patched up."


“If you want to help... go fetch the doctor... I'll be fine.”


"Orders are orders, Malvin, I'm not to let you out of my sight...besides, I have half a feeling that if I do, you'll just run off." he chuckled in spite of the situation.

He still offered her his arm.

"You're coming inside the hospital, I'm staying with you, and you're going to take my arm or lean on me or get a crutch or do SOMETHING that won't put stress on that wound as you move. This is a matter on which I am, I'm afraid, quite unwilling to budge. Even if you invoked your status as the next leader in House Malvin, I think I have orders or at least an unspoken degree from your father to keep you as safe and well as I can. So come on, before the cold does something nasty to that wound."

KxS smiled bashfully. "S-sure, I'll help get the pizza!" This girl hadn't had pizza in a long time. It'd be nice to have some delicious pepperoni and cheese. Ooo, greasy, fatty pizza~


Fancy Streets

"Woohoooo!" Shimera shouted, running after Cess. There was no way she was going to be late for this!

Nevex paused, and then hesitantly moved forward. ...He's rich. Filthy rich... The raven haired teen let out a sigh. I really don't have a chance...he's rich, I'm middle class. I'm a mechanic, he's...well, he's rich... He stared at the floor for a bit. I doubt I'll win this fight...but I guess I'll fight 'till the end.

((Um, CH, I don't think Jimi is rich. I could be wrong, but I don't believe it's ever been stated he's an Aristocrat.))

[Hospital]

 What kind of things will he even DO on the council? More importantly, how will it effect YOUR standing in it?

Alice quickly shook her head. “Roy's not corrupt. He's an arrogant bastard who wants power... but he's not a corrupt man. Yes... he agreed to keep Section Three open because I agreed to marry him, but he also helped set it up in the first place. He might not show it, but he cares about this city.”

She let out a sigh. Didymus was raising a lot of questions she had previous pondered on. She was no fool... she knew the downsides and possible repercussions from what she had planned...

She slowly took his arm and grunted.

“Okay, let's get inside.”

[Apartment Building]

“Great!” Sama grinned when KxS and Jimi agreed to go get pizza. “I know a place, just down the street! A couple of brothers run the joint. They make good pizza... I also hear they know how to clear a drain.”

He shrugged.

Didymus listened as Alice explained Mustang's character.

"...well, then I suppose it is your affair...but I think I...I dunno. Like I said, there's a bunch I could say on this, but it may be by and large your affair, if it will produce good..."

This takes the romance outta guarding a young heiress, but that's not what this is about...it's about doing good and safeguarding someone who can do even more good, I can guess...ah, at least it means I don't have a chance at getting tied up and grouped with an aristocrat...

He allowed himself a small, yet hindered, grin, and quickly wiped it off as Alice took his arm.

"Alright, let's go..."

He helped her into the hospital.

"We have a gunshot wound on the Malvin heiress here! Any doctors available RIGHT NOW?" he asked, when they stepped in.

With these words, he was sure it was only a matter of time before Alice's sisters or attendants or even her dad showed up and demanded his head on a platter...but he'd cross that bridge when Alice was tended to...if it didn't try coming to him first...

GRAPPLING HOOK!

Apartment Building

Crystal giggled, noticing the obvious discomfort in Sama. The girl moved forward, taking the boy's arm. "Don't worry, we get it! Now time to get all snuggily!"

She was doing this to bother him btw...Plus she thought he was kinda cute all flustered and pink in the face.


Abandoned Factory

Melanie frowned, looking around before turning back to Galv....Melanie had never seen a place like this, she came from estates and mansions....Even her horse stables didn't look like this. It was horribly depressing to think people had to raise a family without a roof over their head.

"That's....Horrible" she said slowly, kicking at a pile of broken glass on the dirty ground. "But why don't they work? Surely some of my mom's friends would give them work!"

The girl had raised her voice, probably getting some unwanted attention...

"Well lookie here...Little kids in a place like this..."

Melanie looked around for the source of the voice.

Slums Tavern

"Ummm something like that" Jason said, settling back down and taking a sip. In his life as an aristocrat he was forced to enjoy wine and other classy drinks...But here...Well he relax a bit.

After spending all day with Kanna he needed a stiff drink.

The boy took a drink, feeling as if they were being watched...

Sama coughed a couple of times, his face rather pink in the cheeks. He halfway suspected that she enjoyed teasing him like this – (GEE, you think Sama?) – and the boy wasn't quite sure how to react at moments like this.

“Well...” He coughed, trying to remain cool and collected. (Spoiler: He doesn't remain that way). “U-Until they get back with the pizza, maybe we should set things up, or... I dunno... oh, we could come up with some kind of party games...”

He wondered if he had enough luck to risk Spin the Bottle. No... with his luck, that would end incredibly awkwardly.

[Hospital]

Almost immediately, a nurse took Alice and rushed her off into the emergency room. A few local cops on patrol noticed, and went in after, to insure that the lieutenant/aristocrat would be kept safe.

She was now in surgery.

Narroh Estate

Kanna gave a little breath as the commisioner picked up the phone.

"Good evening, I apologize for calling so late but this really can't wait until the morning. I was attacked just a few moments ago in my home"

She didn't plan on admitting the fact....But she suposed she would just cut to the chase....Of course she would be ommiting a few facts.

"It seems as if a man broke into my house while I was out. Naturally I defended myself but that doesn't change the fact that I require some form of extra security for myself and my children. Ever since Kain's death it seems as if people unhappy with my work methods have been targeting me."

Actually it had been Kain that entire time...

Apartment Building]


Crystal giggled once more "Oh come on" she said, heading up into the apartment. Once there the girl looked around, taking in just how large the room was...

"Amaaaazzziiinnngg! Is this how all rich people live?!"

As far as he could, Didymus stuck with Alice, crying out how he was under orders both precise and standing to ensure her safety (and precise orders not to let her out of his sight), but he did his best not to hinder the operation...

I can't see what you're imagining
(Yah, until recently, Jimi barely had enough money to make sure he, Hammah, and Colette didn't starve. He just recently got a job where he can now afford to, well, not starve if he spends some cash elsewhere. XDX )

-Apartment Building-

“Sounds good then,” Jimi said, turning to Kxs, “Let's go then...what kind of pizza do you like, anyways?”

Hammah smiled at his brother, then turned back to the others, “Alright, let's head inside! It's getting dark!”

-The Broken Drum-

Cess grinned, leading Shimera into a dimly lit tavern, where a few people on a small stage were playing music. Several people were engaged in betting, and there was a small fight, contained in one of the corners.

“The Broken Drum,” Cess said, “You can't beat it!”

-Abandoned Warehouse-

“It's...complicated...” Galv said, then froze, when he heard a voice...

“What do you want?” Galv asked, holding his hand up, trying to cast more light, “Where are you?”

-Commissioner's Office-

Gordon frowned...Anyone being attacked in their own home was bad...

“So then you need a bodyguard...” Gordon sighed, then looked to Samuel. This kid was invulnerable...And if he got him working for an aristocrat...well, if word got out, having Narroh on his side would definitely help.

“I think I have the perfect guy for the job. I can have him over soon,” Gordon told Kanna, “I'll send an officer along as well.”

Gordon then hung up, and turned to Samuel.

“You don't want to be a weapon. Fine, I understand that,” Gordon said, “So you're going to be a bodyguard. A aristocrat was attacked in her home recently. Until she feels like the problem is dealt with, you will protect her. And...”

Gordon looked around, then leaned forward.

“And if you want Section Three to stay alive, I suggest seeing if...well...maybe you could influence things with her. Try and see if maybe she'd be willing to put up some funding for Section Three...Don't threaten or withhold protection though...if you do that, kid or not, you're going to be out on the streets...”

Samuel sighed, then nodded, “I understand...Thank you...Who is it I'm suppose to protect, anyways?”

“Kanna Narroh,” Gordon answered, picking up his phone, “I need someone to escort Hawkins to Narroh residence...”

-Narroh Manor-

To speed things up!

Samuel was brought to Narroh Manor, as his escort knocked on the door, remaining silent.

Samuel...wasn't sure what she'd think seeing him again...

[Apartment Building]

Sama shrugged his shoulders as he was pulled up into the fancy apartment. The room was gigantic, and in down each hallway were individual rooms, and there were several floors.

The boy was impressed. His jaw dropped, and he rubbed the back of his neck. He could tell Crystal was impressed too, from her reaction – and her question.

“I wouldn't know... honestly, even though I work for Mr. Stark, I've never seen his house... and I've been sleeping in the workshop for the last few months...”

Sama grinned. “This is great! Really fancy.”

[Hospital]

“... Damn it all... first that troublemaker from the slums, and now a noble... what a mess.”

The doctor soon emerged from the operating room (which Didymus, nor the soldiers, were allowed in for sanitary reasons). He took a towel and wiped the blood from his hands, and then looked over to Didymus.

“You! I suppose you're the one I have to answer to? Let me guess... I better do all I can for her, or else? You damn dogs of the aristocrats... well for what it's worth, I did everything I could. She's fine. Bullet went through and through, didn't hit bone or any major arteries.”

He shook his head. “Still, I don't like soldiers in my OR. Damn it, I'm a doctor, not a field medic!”

Yaaaay references.

When the doctor approached and thought he was the one to be answered to, Didymus chuckled.

"Relax, doctor. If you've done all you can, you're good. I don't think I'm really the one you have to answer to-"

"YOU!!!"

Alice's sisters suddenly burst in.

Ellie stormed up and glared daggers at Didymus.

"HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?! She LIED TO US, YOU went along with it, and NOW she's been SHOT?! HOUSE MALVIN WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD FOR THIS!"

Didymus stood there, taking it.

...he noticed that this time, the calmer sister didn't intervene, but instead went to the doctor.

"She's alright, correct?"

As Ellie continued ranting at him (with generic threats and such that I'm too lazy to type. XD), Didymus partially tuned her out.

...so, this is how it ends, is it? ...and this is arguably HER fault, too. I wonder if I should say that...?

Finally, Solie calmed Ellie, then regarded Didymus.

"Tell us what happened." she said.

Didymus cleared his throat and told the story.

"...so...she was okay when you LET HER WANDER OFF, but then RUSHED an enemy herself?" Ellie asked.

Didymus nodded.

"Hmph. I really don't know what to say to you. Part of me wants to make sure your career is OVER...but it looks like this may have been more a problem with HER than you...MAYBE. EITHER WAY, if somehow you survive this, you're NEVER to leave her unescorted again."

"And please try to predict and stop her sudden...rash actions." Solie added.



IF I survive this... Didymus thought. ...great. Just great. FanTASTIC. Alice may think her sisters can't touch me, but even HER promises are moot if her father comes after me-which he probably will since I let his little girl and appointed heiress sneak out, then wander unescorted before finally getting shot...oh Lord, please forgive me, save me...

He kept his bearing, but his stress, even woe, was building on the inside...

Apartment Building

Crystal decided to go off for a few minutes and explore the old apartment, looking around every part of the place before coming back to Sama. While it was amazing it was also very empty for now so she decided to stay in the main room with the others for the night.

"This is a dream..." she managed, amazed.

Meanwhile Colette seemed to share the same excitement. The girl was running around (quite hyper thanks to the sugar Hammah gave her) and looking to Hammah.

"This place is bigger than my school!" she exclaimed, probably not exaggerating since she lived in the slums before this.

Abandoned Warehouse

The light fell on a few bums, in the corner, empty bottles and a few old blankets and food wrappers scattered amongst them. While two of the men were sitting, one was standing and eying the two teens.

"You boys shouldn't be in a place like this...Much too dangerous" he managed, Melanie able to smell stale alcohol on his breath from a distance away.

The girl crinkled her nose (at the smell and the fact that she was called a boy) but stepped forward. She didn't really know that she needed to be afraid of people like this. Instead she was concerned. "Do you live here?" she asked.

The bum nodded, taking another swig out of the obviously empty bottle. "Yup! Down on our luck and livin' in an old warehouse! What a life!"

Melanie frowned, moving closer once again. She looked down and started digging into her pocket before pulling out several very large bills. She handed them to the man. "Can you get a room for tonight with this?"

The man's eye's widened and the other two bums seemed to take notice. The were suddenly standing staring at Melanie, who was now pulling out even more money. The first man spoke up "Got any more?"

Unaware that they were taking advantage of her the girl nodded "Of course-Ah!" suddenly she was pulled forward by one of the man.

Melanie made it entirely too easy to be robbed...Especially after the men got a better look at her.

"Oi! She's a girl!" one said with a laugh.

Kill em Galv!


Narroh Manor

Kanna answered the door, holding a wet cloth to her face but playing it off as if nothing had happened....Then she saw Samuel.

"What the hell do you want?" she stated bluntly. That was her way of saying hello.

At mention of a dream, Sama coughed a bit and tried to get his cheeks to go back to a normal skin tone.

“This is a really big place... I'm glad there's going to be so many of us living here. At least we'll have company, and it'll be like our own neighborhood!”

The boy was grinning. He had never imagined a place as fancy as this... he had never had much money, and even though he worked for someone who did, he was used to the slums.

“Seriously, though! This is a paaaaarty! … Okay, maybe not till we get the pizza, but still! We need to cut loose and have some fun!”

[Hospital]

“Now, now, ladies... let's not all gang up on the Lieutenant at once, shall we?”

Mustang was there, having just walked through the door. As usual, he somehow seemed well informed on what was going on. Well... in this case, he had been there not long after Alice was shot, but he seemed to know of her sisters arrival.

“... Now, ladies. Why don't you allow me to handle the... repercussions from this? After all... I have very good reasons to be interested in Alice's safety.”

“Now, now, ladies... let's not all gang up on the Lieutenant at once, shall we?”


Ellie and Solie at once turned to the source of this voice.

Ellie, who had started to calm down, felt her rage return.

“... Now, ladies. Why don't you allow me to handle the... repercussions from this? After all... I have very good reasons to be interested in Alice's safety.”

"Why DON'T we?!" Ellie said. "At least the kid was just ground-level. He still lied to us, and he's gotta pay...but I've got a piece of my mind to give YOU as well!"

The other sister paused.

"You do indeed have good reasons to be interested in our sister's safety...but you haven't told us everything, have you?"
