[Crystal’s Apartment]

“I hope I didn’t wake you up.”

Crystal smiled and shook her head, leaning against the window as she watched the young man. "I couldn't really sleep anyways"

“It seems like they’ve been hiring local criminals to do their dirty work, right? I think I know a way we can get more information on them… I have some contacts who… do some pretty shady stuff.”

Crystal couldn't help but to give a small giggle. "Why am I not surprised? Though it does come in handy that you know such a diverse range of morally challenged individuals. But will they just help us? I mean they must know what side you're playing for"

[Paris]

[Sarai’s House]

Sarai gave a gasp as Connor moved past her brother and face to face with the officer. She had been taught to never talk back, especially when it came to these people....

"Connor wa-"

“How can you just accuse these people of doing something without evidence!?”

The officer raised a brow, grabbing him by the collar . "Who do you think you're talking to boy?" he then looked from him to the others. Obviously they weren't related. "What's your name?"

[Crystal’s Apartment]

Sama heaved a small sigh and leaned back against the wall. “That’s exactly the problem… they’ll want something in return. The more valuable their information, the more they’ll want for it.”

He groaned, running his hand through his hair. This is what had been plaguing him about this decision. The prospect of what they would want when they realized just how important their help was.

“Worse than that… usually I talk to low-level guys. You know, the kind of people who are criminals, but don’t really do anything big. The guys who sell stolen goods and things like that… but if we want even a chance of learning more about what’s going on, we’re going to have to talk to some… really bad people. Probably turn a blind eye to some really bad stuff… I just don’t know if it’s worth it.”

[Paris]

[Sarai’s House]

Connor was suddenly pulled forward, the cop clenching his collar tightly. The boy gritted his teeth and stared up at the officer, never flinching.

“My name is Connor, and I think I’m talking to an idiot!” Connor growled. “I’ve seen people like you all across Europe! You think you can blame someone else for anything that goes wrong just because they’re different than you are… that’s exactly what’s happening in Germany right now!”

I just don’t know if it’s worth it.”

"Talk to some dangerous guys for the chance to save New York City from potentially deadly terrorists? I think it's worth the risk. I mean what's the worst that can happen?"

Crystal was obviously underestimating how dangerous the men Sama was talking about were. She had dealt with some seedy individuals in her career, but usually anyone who could connect her with actual terrorists were left to the higher ups in the CIA.

"So do you think they'll want money or something? I could probably get some marked cash from work, to use until we get the information we need...We also have recovered property...I doubt my bosses would mind if we used it...As long as we aren't handing them guns or something"

Paris

Sarai’s House

I’ve seen people like you all across Europe! You think you can blame someone else for anything that goes wrong just because they’re different than you are… that’s exactly what’s happening in Germany right now!”

"You boy have no clue what you're saying. You better stop while you're ahead" The cop said, tossing Connor back and turning back to Genius. "Where are his papers? I'd like to make sure your little guest had nothing to do with the attacks."

"Connor's been with me!" Sarai suddenly exclaimed "He didn't do anything!"

"And where have YOU been girl?" The man exclaimed. "A lot of suspicious people in one place. Papers please"

Sarai frowned, disappearing and coming back with her own passport. The man snatched it from her hand and looked through it. He then looked back to Connor. "And yours?"

‘I mean what's the worst that can happen?"

“We could end up dead in a gutter.” Sama shrugged his shoulders, saying this entirely too casually for such a serious topic.

He listened as she suggested being able to get some money from the CIA, but he shook his head. “Nah. They won’t want money. They’ll want a favor in return. Last time I had to convince the NYPD not to raid one of the warehouses they use to store stolen goods…”

Sama rubbed his neck. He didn’t like admitting that he sometimes cut deals like this with criminals. “The problem is, we’d have to talk to the high-level guys for the info we need… no telling what they might want in return.”

But it can’t be worse than the blue meth conversation on Skype right now

[Paris]

[Sarai’s House]

Connor frowned a bit. He stuck a hand into the inside of his jacket and grabbed a passport from the inside and handed it to the officer.

He and his grandfather used fake passports most of the time. They had been traveling all across Europe, but it was important that their real names stay anonymous.

“I haven’t done anything wrong either. We’ve been inside all night, and as I said, you should look for evidence!”

Paris

-Outside the Notre Dame-


Aiden nodded slightly, looking disappointed but trying to hide it as she and Didymus started to head back to the Embassy.

“Regardless of what happens... I've enjoyed meeting you, Didymus,” Aiden said, giving the young man a small smile, “Maybe I will be able to convince my father to head towards America, if nothing else, because of everything that is happening here in Europe... though I believe he would prefer to stay and help others if he can...”

-Streets-

“They... never really were together at all...” Aaron said after a moment, looking far off for a moment. He wasn't sure why he was telling Chloe this... he had never even really talked about this to Adrianna...

“I think... I think they each wanted different things... Or... well... My mother. She thought staying with us might tie her down, I think... That having a family would mean she'd... be unable to do what she wanted...”

Aaron stopped for a moment, finally confronting what he had put off mentally for so long, where he had been trying to convince himself that his mother had perfectly good reasons for having never been around them, for having run off, for having slept with that other man who wasn't his and Adrianna's father... not that he blamed Lalia, of course.

He clenched his fist, fighting back a sudden urge to punch something, not wanting to leave a hole or a dent in something.

“My dad though... he was always there for my sister and I... Always had time for us, always took care of us...” Aaron continued, staring at the ground, “...I think he wanted us... He loved us, at least...”

Saaaaaaadness.

New York City

-Hawkins' House-


“Good job Samara, you made the evil guy go away!” Blake said, rushing up to his shadow person and giving Samara a hug, smiling at the girl.

Galv was just quiet, staring at his son and Samara, then looking to Melanie, before he spoke.

“Are you okay dear?” Galv asked Melanie quietly.

Hawkins' House

Samara blinked as Blake attacked her in a hug, the girl looking out and giving a very small smile...She was very glad the boy was proud of her....That's what she always wanted after all.

“Are you okay dear?”

Melanie let out a large breath that she didn't know she was holding, looking to Galv.

"I'm so sorry" she mumbled breathlessly, rubbing her head. "That shouldn't have happened, I should have been able to control myself."

[Crystal’s Apartment]

Crystal gave a small sigh, leaning against Sama for a moment "We'll do what we have to do, and give them what they want...Even if it's a little morally ambiguous....We have to if we want to keep New York safe..."

Crystal wasn't thinking on a large enough scale. These thugs could want weapons, drugs, anything....

Crystal leaned in, kissing Sama on the cheek.

Paris

Streets

Chloe was silent for a moment, listening to Aaron's explanation of his family-life. It sounded awful having to live with the idea that your mother may not have love you....Luckily it seemed as if he had a good father...

She then noticed his fists clenching and the girl gave a small frown. She didn't bother to tell him to calm down, it wasn't like he would do anything to hurt her.

"Your father sounds like a good man" she said, looking up at the lamp-posts they were passing by. "It's important for guys to have a good male role model and such. And there's no use in feeling any anger towards a woman like your mom...Don't waste your energy, you're too good of a person"

Sarai’s House

The officer snatched Connor's passport, obviously questioning it's authenticity...He looked from the paper and back to the boy...If this was a fake....It was a good one.

I haven’t done anything wrong either. We’ve been inside all night, and as I said, you should look for evidence!”

"When's your birthday boy?" he asked, testing Connor.

From Sarai's spot she bit her lip, looking to Connor.

Paris streets

Didymus sighed quietly, reflecting on Aiden's words.

Though her affections did make him a tad nervous, and his concerns yet remained, he'd be lying if he said he wasn't at least a little glad to have met her as well...

“Maybe I will be able to convince my father to head towards America, if nothing else, because of everything that is happening here in Europe... though I believe he would prefer to stay and help others if he can...”


"Should he, though? Britain and France are likely to have a lot of spiritual and physical health needs to be tended to when Germany acts up. Perhaps you'll be needed here..." he said.

US Embassy

Inside of Sin's cell, she would have noticed something moving on the wall...a low, unsettling whisper in a language that may or may not have ever meant to be heard by human ears sounded, and a shadow with no standing between the room's electric light and the wall itself materialized, slowly making its way across the wall and towards the lock, slowly, quietly undoing it from within.

The door was quickly unlocked, and the shadow hand vanished...

Blake smiled at Samara, nodding his head, “See? This is what I mean, you do nice things, like help protect people!”

Galv sighed a little, pulling his wife into a hug, “We've all been under a lot of stress lately dear. Don't beat yourself up about it.”

Sage glanced towards Joyce, wondering what exactly was happening, but didn't say anything.

Paris

-Streets-


“Sigh... I guess... It's just...” Aaron shrugged a little, shaking his head, “It's nothing. Come on, we're suppose to have fun!”

Aaron forced himself to smile, burying his feelings for now as he turned back to Chloe, “We'll get into that fancy restaurant and have a great meal!”

-Other Streets-

Aiden paused, thinking that other, “I... perhaps...”

Aiden glanced towards Didymus, then looked away for a moment, “But I do... do think I'd be able to help you... and the others... But my father tends to work better alone then in a group. He's... much more imposing then I am...”

While the white hair, tanned skin, and red eyes made Aiden look more exotic, with Zadkiel it made him seem much more imposing.

Hawkins' House

Melanie sighed against Galv, wanting nothing more than to let her husband take care of everything...But she knew that wasn't really possible so after a moment she moved back and looked to Blake.

As soon as Melanie looked over Samara gave a little gasp and vanished in a poof of shadows. She still didn't like the woman who could potentially make shadows go away forever (though that theory was kinda debunked now).

"Darling, let's go upstairs and get you back in bed" she said softly, taking Blake's hand.

From her spot Joyce frowned. She supposed she couldn't stay down here now... She turned to Sage and gave him a small smile. "Thanks for standing up for me" she said, and before her father could object she moved to her tippy toes and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

Paris

Streets

Chloe could tell that Aaron still had his mother on his mind but she smiled when he quickly dismissed the thoughts. She didn't like to see him all troubled looking.

"So then you're doing all the talking I hope?" she asked, eying the restaurant coming up.

[Crystal’s Apartment]

Sama sighed, despite the kiss. He leaned back and stared at Crystal for a moment, glad that he at least had someone else along with him on this one.

… Someone who wasn’t Kimi.

He smiled a bit and nodded. “You’re right. Whatever it is they want, it’s better than dealing with Nazis.”

[Paris]

[Sarai’s House]

Connor narrowed his eyes. He didn’t like these guards at all, and now he was analyzing the passport. Connor was fairly confident that things would stand up – but this could make it harder to help Sarai out of the country, like he promised. He didn’t need to make enemies in the police.

So he simply told the man his birthday and waited, his arms crossed.


[US Embassy]

Sin froze for a moment as she heard the whispering. She knew right away what this was – or at least, she could guess. She smirked as the lock clicked off and she stood up.

“Interesting…” She said quietly as she moved forward and slipped out of the door.

Crystal sat against Sama for a few moments in silence, staring out the window before breaking the silence. "You know....I'm actually surprised the Nazis haven't started recruiting thugs around here. I mean wouldn't it be perfect for them? Pay some low level criminals to blow up some buildings and while the police is distracted with them they could be planning something bigger"

She then realized that probably wouldn't make him feel any better about the situation so she went quiet.

[Paris]

The officer was silent for a few moments, staring from the passport to Connor multiple times before shoving the document against Connor's chest roughly. "I've got my eye on you kid. Someone this disrespectful must be up to no good."

He then turned to Genius, I will still need to verify a couple of things with your family...Take statements and such. All official of course." He looked to Sarai (aka the most nervous looking one in the room) and gave a small grin. This would be easy. "Who wants to go first? Miss-"

"I will" Genius stated simply, stepping forward, knowing very well the officer's plan. "And then my sons." he then looked to Sarai and Connor. "Sarai darling, why don't you and Connor go upstairs and...Study"

This will be the only time that Genius ever allows Sarai and Connor to go upstairs to 'study'. Just FYI.

Didymus was quiet for a moment, trying to think of the right way to respond to Aiden.

"...I've already given my appraisal of your helping us on this mission. I'm afraid that isn't the answer you want to hear, but...that's how I see it." he said.

US Embassy

Sin slipped out of her room, there were a couple of men in suits apparently discussing something about a study. There was a pistol on the table, and one let out a "What the-" as he saw Sin's door open and her slip out, reaching for the weapon!

“Okay then...” Blake said, though he wasn't sure he could get back to sleep. He felt... keyed up now, after that excitement, but he'd probably crash pretty soon.

“Will you read me a story, momma?” Blake asked as they headed up the stairs.

Meanwhile Galv sighed, turning to Joyce and Sage.

“...Joyce, what were you doing down here?” he asked.

Paris

-Fancy Restaurant-

Soon Aaron and Chloe would arrive at the restaurant, Aaron adjusting his tie slightly as they stepped in side, and nodded to the garcon.

“Hello good sir... We were hoping for a table for two,” Aaron said, smiling towards the man. The man frowned, and opened up a small book.

“Do you have a registration?” the man asked in English, frowning at him.

“Of course... we should be right here,” Aaron said, pointing towards a random name in the book. When his hand left, there was a sizable bill left on the page. The garcon raised an eyebrow, then smiled.

“I see, yes, your table is ready sir,” the garcon said, then shouted in rapid French, producing a waiter who led them to a table.

“Your table, sir and madam,” the waiter said, in accented English, “You will find the menus on the table in front of you, we will be back to take your order shortly.”

Aaron grinned as the waiter walked away, turning to Chloe, “Told you I could get us in.”

-Streets-

Aiden nodded, sighing a little, “I... can't fault your logic. I just... I feel like this is important... Like it's where I need to be...”

“Will you read me a story, momma?”

Melanie gave a tired nod, but offered him a smile as they made their way back to his room. The woman was utterly exausted, but couldn't say no to the boy. So instead of sleeping the woman carefully climbed into bed next to her son, propping herself against the cushioned headboard and resting her hands on her expanded belly.

"What kind of story would you like for me to read for you my love?" she asked, motioning for him to pick something out. They had probably read each book at least ten times but she knew this would help the boy sleep.

[...]

“...Joyce, what were you doing down here?”

"Okay before you blame it on Sage, he was a total gentleman and nothing happened" Joyce said quickly, before Galv could jump to any conclusions. "We were just talking....And I was watching him draw for a bit. And then creepy shadow guy who apparently belongs to mom popped up! He thought I was her which was pretty weird"

Paris

Fancy Restaurant

Chloe raised a brow from her spot as she listened to Aaron and the host converse for a moment....She doubted talking would get his way into the restaurant-

But somehow it did. She was very suspicious. But also very excited. Chloe had never been in a restaurant this nice before!

"What...Did...You...Do?" She whispered to the boy, taking hold of his arm once more as they were led to their table. "I'm confused yet impressed. Very impressed."

“Well, they have a finite amount of explosives to work with.” Sama reasoned, leaning back and rubbing his chin. “We know they bought some from Coldman, but they couldn’t have gotten too many… it’s not exactly easy to smuggle large quantities of explosives into the country, so they’d need a local supply.”

Suddenly, his eyes widened. “And with Coldman stopped… they’ll need a new supply… Crystal, you’re a genius! They will be looking for local criminals… and they’re going to find some!”

He turned to her and grinned. “Us!”




[Paris]

[Genius’ Manor]

Connor was suddenly grateful to Genius for the distraction. He nodded slowly and turned, quickly taking Sarai’s hand and leading her back up the stairs. In reality, he was still shaking and his blood was still boiling at the attitude on the local French police.

Once they were upstairs and back in Sarai’s room, Connor closed the door and groaned. “I can’t believe them! They make me so mad…”

[US Embassy]

Sin saw the men in suits and immediately she darted towards them. She was fast – much faster than her appearance would suggestion. She kicked the table as she ran, knocking it over and sending the firearm flying out of reach of the man.

Then she pounced at him, aiming a blow towards his throat!
