“The occult?” Snake repeated, with a blink. He shook his head and looked back down at the wound on his chest. The burn was starting to fade, but his skin looked discolored and sickly.

“... Uh...” Snake sighed. He had experience with the supernatural. He had seen things first hand... horrible things that he wouldn't have wished on his worst enemies. It was an old war story, and one that he would not be eager to recall.

Rica's Car

(Yes, he is!)

"Well soon enough non of them will have much of a choice it seems" Kanna said, leaning against the window and staring out "I don't want to destroy my children's lives, i'm trying to save them"

Kanna gave a little sigh, turning back to Rica. "How is Laila? Doing well in school I hope..."

Probably not smart to mention much about what Laila does right about now.

Safehouse

"Woah....Is your dad really that afraid of the Sakura team?" Laila asked raising a brow. While she was learning about them bit by bit she was pretty sure there was a lot Musashi hadn't gotten around to telling her yet.

"It's worth a shot if you think it'll work...But I guess a better question would be how do you go about reforming them? Surely there's a reason you guys aren't together anymore"

[Rica’s Car]

Rica sighed. He and Kanna would not agree on this one. He felt the kids were better off here in America – or perhaps in England. He couldn’t imagine anywhere else for them to live.

"How is Laila? Doing well in school I hope..."

“Laila’s doing well. She’s a good kid. Extremely intelligent… she takes after her mother.” Rica chuckled.

THAT’S NOT A GOOD THING.

[Safehouse]

Musashi shrugged his shoulders.

“The Sakura Teams were an amazing thing for my country. Japan has an isolationist policy… but those teams were international on a level like nothing we had ever done. Japanese technology, Japanese military officer… but the teams were all local. New York, Paris, London, Berlin… we had teams all over the world.”

Musashi closed his eyes and sighed. “… If my dad thought I was going to reform the New York team… and we would fight for America… he’d be horrified. His own son, not only opposing him… but giving America back the Sakura Team… it wouldn’t be enough to win a war, but it would be a horrible embarrassment for my father… it would be the ultimate betrayal…”

Musashi sniffed. “I… I mean… is it okay to betray my country to try to keep peace? I…”

Rica’s Car

Kanna raised a brow at Rica's statement...She wasn't sure how much she wanted her daughter to take after her...

"I'm glad she's doing well" Kanna said quietly. "It's been awhile since i've seen her...Or any of them actually. Glad they're actually doing something positive with their lives before all of this starts..."

Safehouse

Laila moved forward, clapping her hands over Musashi's shoulders. "Don't question yourself! If you think that's what you need to do then go with it!"

Laila smiled, moving forward and kissing his cheek quickly, before suddenly taking his cup of cold tea and moving over to the kettle.

"Follow your gut, after all how can it be any worse?"

[Rica’s Car]

“You should stop in an see them.” Rica said, matter-of-factly. “I know that Laila would like to see you. I’m sure the twins would too… and have you even met your grandkids?”

Rica chuckled. He didn’t know if reminding Kanna she was a grandma was smart or not.

Soon enough, he pulled up outside of the crummy hotel he was using for a cover.

“I have a few more files you need to see. Kanna… you really should reconsider these things with Red Skull. He is extremely dangerous.”

[Safehouse]

Musashi paused, trying to focus on what she had said. He rubbed his cheek where she kissed him, and after a moment he jumped up and followed her.

“You think so? Hmm… I can be a little reckless and impulsive…”

He was seriously considering making out with her in the kitchen. Except he had a feeling Nanami would come back in and stab him. A lot.

Rica’s Car

Kanna frowned, deciding not to answer Rica. The woman regretted not spending any time with her grandchildren, but she had been too busy with the whole nazi thing and trying to keep up the persona of a terrorist.

“I have a few more files you need to see. Kanna… you really should reconsider these things with Red Skull. He is extremely dangerous.”

Kanna stepped out of the car, looking up at the hotel with a bit of distaste.

"I'll look at what you have...But i'm not changing my mind as of now...Ugh. Why is your hotel so....Dingy?"

Drinking fancy drinks with Samuel in a five star hotel was a harsh contrast to this.

Safehouse

"You can be, but you also have a smart head on those shoulders....And nine times out of ten instincts are right"

The girl pulled out another cup and started to brew two cups of tea, before leaning against the counter eying the boy.

[Rica’s Hotel]

Rica chuckled, and took Kanna’s hand. He pulled her along… not towards the hotel, but towards the dark, dank alley between the hotel and the sketch liquor store next door.

Even for Rica, this seemed like a really sketchy place.

“Actually, darling… the hotel is just the cover. Where we’re going is right here.”

They were now standing in the middle of a dirty alley.

Rica took a small key out of his jacket and pressed it into a hidden slot in one of the bricks. Suddenly, the brick wall slid open, revealing a secret passage in the side of the sketch hotel. It was a staircase that lead beneath the hotel.

“Follow me, darling.”

Rica lead her down the stairs. At the bottom was a high-tech room full of steamputers and monitors. There was a fancy bed, a large chest of drawers and a case of imported vodka.

“This is my little hole in the wall.” Rica grinned.

[Safehouse]

Musashi smiled. He rubbed the back of his neck. Instincts were usually right? He gulped, and then walked over to her.

“You… really think I should trust my instincts?”

He paused, and then smiled a bit, leaning closer to her.

I can't see what you're imagining
-Littlelip Theater-

“Don't just assume sorcery,” Jenny said, frowning as she looked at Snake, producing her bag and began to treat his wounds, talking as she did so, “It could be some kind of technology we simply don't know about.”

She paused, making sure she had enough bandages, then glanced back to Didymus, “Consider a gun. In the times of knights and kings, something like that would have been considered magic.”

Her dad had left the impression on her that everything could eventually be explained through science, even if they didn't know how yet.

-Homeless Shelter-

Blake was picked up by his other half, brought into a shelter, the smell of warm food making his stomach grumble.

“I don't know...” he said, looking around. There were several people here, huddled together. He didn't want to be around a lot of people, afraid that Samara may try and hurt them.

-Hawkins' House-

“It's nothing...” Sage said, blushing as Joyce complimented him, “It's easy. I'm just copying something I see. I mean, you write all those stories. You put things together in a way I couldn't figure out! You're a lot better with words then I am...”



Galv's eyes widened, Melanie admitting she had been attacked by something.

“Are you alright? You're not hurt? Do you need to go to the hospital? What about the ba...”

He froze, instantly realizing he had said the wrong thing, his eyes having darted down to Melanie's stomach.

-Hotel-

“Thank you,” Maize said, taking the paper the man had scribbled the times on. Maize glanced at them, then towards a nearby clock.

“Okay, we have some time to kill then,” Maize said, turning to her half sister and leading her away from the desk. Once they were out of earshot, Maize glanced around, then spoke quietly.

“If she's singing here, she probably has a dressing room. If we can get to them, we can find them and wait for her there, instead of trying to get to her after her performance.”

Didymus paused at Jenny's statements.

"You yourself are making an assumption. That I'M assuming." he said.

He looked over to Violet.

"The fact is...this isn't exactly the first time I've seen a case like this..."

He paused.

"We need to find the remaining team members now. They're probably in danger."

Snake did not comment on whether or not what happened was sorcery. He did not know if he would describe it with that term, but he knew it was something supernatural.

He also knew that Jenny did not believe in the supernatural. She was a scientific, analytic mind. However, Snake’s own experiences had given him a very different view.

He had seen the supernatural. He had seen the Cobras do things that could not be explained by rational thought.

The memory of the Cobra Unit caused Snake to shudder. He wondered where She was right now… he also wondered if the United States Army had tried contacting her. Surely, if a war did start, she would be the first call the general would make.

“Boss…” Snake grunted softly.

Homeless Shelter

"You'll be safe here" Samara said quietly, understanding exactly why Blake was apprehensive about staying here. "I won't hurt anyone unless they try to hurt you"

The girl (who now looked more like a young woman) placed Blake down on a cot and then turned to leave for a moment. By the time she came back she was once again a small girl holding a bowl of soup and some bread. Samara sat down beside him once more and handed him the bowl and bread.

"You really need to eat. I can tell" she said quietly.

Hawkins' House

"Maybe....But that means we compliment each other" Joyce said with a grin "We work well together...That's why we're best friends after all..."

Joyce then blushed, looking back down and giving a nervous giggle. After all they were more now...Right?

[...]

“Are you alright? You're not hurt? Do you need to go to the hospital?"

"Don't worry i'm sure i'm fin-"

"What about the ba...”

Melanie paused, wide eyed as her husband blurted that he knew about the baby. She supposed she shouldn't have been too surprised, afterall she had entrusted the secret with her youngest child.

But that suddenly brought up another worry....What if something was wrong with the baby?

"I-I...Ummmm sorry...For not telling you yet"

Hotel

Adrianna nodded to Maize "Good idea...Come on"

The girls headed into the lounge, full of smoke and men drinking. The girl felt a bit out of place here, but it didn't deter her from attempting to get to the back of the room and towards backstage.

Rica’s Creeper Cave

".......What the hell is this?"

Kanna walked into Rica's space....Apartment.....Bahelor Pad.....Creeper lair...Whatever. She looked around and raised her brow at the plush bed sitting in the middle of all the strange machines powered by steam....She had no clue what they were, but at the moment was more worried about the bed and what it was doing here.

She supposed he had to sleep.....When he wasn't creeping. On her. In his creeper lair.

She then eyed the vodka. She supposed she could always shoot him in the head if he tried anything. The vodka was worth the risk.

Safehouse

Laila nodded, looking up at Musashi as the space in between the two was closed. "Of course I do...When have your instincts ever failed you?"

She smiled, leaning in.

[Rica’s Creeper Cave]

“This is… Headquarters.” Rica said, deciding to use a term a bit different than ‘creeper cave’. Though, considering it’s Rica, it’s pretty much the same thing.

He walked over to one of the steamputers and pressed a few buttons. A moment later, a door on the desk popped open and Rica reached inside to pull out a file folder.

“I can’t really tell you how I got this information, but it’s something you need to see. Photographs from one of Red Skull’s operations in Europe.”

Rica tossed the file down. There were several photographs. The first few showed an peaceful little village nestled in the German countryside. A few of the other photos showed what became of the village after Red Skull’s “experiments”.

“There were no survivors.” Rica said, looking at the photo. The village was burned down, and there were charred remains of what had once been people. “Your employer is experimenting with new ways to kill people… quite gruesome. He butchered this entire village. Men, women… children. He didn’t care. Herr Fuhrer gave approval for the whole thing.”

Rica shook his head. “Trust me, darling… I know I’m a monster. But compared to these guys you’re in bed with now, even I’m not that crass and sick.”

It was a serious, grim moment. The photographs showed the brutality of the nazi regime. With such a somber atmosphere, Rica had to say something sarcastic to ‘lighten’ the mood.

“You’d be much better off to forget them and get in bed with me.”

He meant that metaphorically… and… literally.

… Rica’s still a better person than Hitler.

[Safehouse]

Musashi’s instincts failed him all the time. They had told him that coming to America to make a peace treaty when he had no real authority would be a dandy idea that was sure to work. They also told him that developing feelings for both Adrianna and Laila would probably find a way to work itself out.



Musashi, however, was going to follow them right now. He leaned in and wrapped his arms around Laila, pulling her into a kiss.

“Well you said the occult,” Jenny shrugged, “Usually that doesn't mean technology...”

She stepped back from Snake, giving him a look after hearing him mutter 'Boss' but would inquire about it later when others weren't around.

“Though I suppose it doesn't matter right now. Whatever they're doing is currently beyond our understanding,” Jenny sighed, “So effectively there's no real difference.”

-Hawkins' House-

“It's alright...” Galv said, smiling to Melanie, “You're worried, aren't you? What if the new child has the same problems that Blake's having...What if it might be something worse...”

He stepped forward, pulling Melanie into a hug, “Our powers are so different from the other...I guess there would be problems when they mixed, but I'm sure whatever we face, we'll be there together.”



“I...guess we do...” Sage said, blushing now, realizing he was sitting next to Joyce on her bed.

He paused, then leaned closer to the short girl, giving her a kiss.

Galv would probably kill him if he caught the two making out.

-Homeless Shelter-

Blake looked down at the soup. It smelled good, especially since he hadn't eaten anything all day.

He glanced up to Samara, then ducked the bread into the soup, before starting to eat it. He couldn't learn to control his powers if he was dead, after all.

-Hotel-

“And where do you two think you're going?”

A large man stood in front of the door to the dressing rooms, stopping Maize and Adrianna from getting any farther.

“We need to get by,” Maize said, looking up at the man, “It's important.”

“I'm sure it is,” the man said, “Only performers and their managers get to go through these doors.”

Maize paused, then grinned slyly up at the man. Her father would probably have a heart attack at what Maize was doing, but he wasn't there.

“I was hoping perhaps you could accompany me back there...I'd really like to see one of the dressing rooms,” she said.

The man paused, then glanced around. He nodded after a moment, then stepped inside, Maize following, who gave a small nod to Adrianna.

A few moments later the door opened up again, Maize ushering Adrianna in. The man was now unconscious and stuff inside a closet, not having expected the small girl to be so strong.

“... The occult and technology aren't mutually exclusive.” Snake said quietly, looking over at the two. He knew Jenny's opinion on matters from their past, and he could take a guess on Didymus' feelings based on what he knew of him. Though from that trick with the knife and the cocoon, Snake assumed that Didymus had some experience in these things too.

“But you're right, Jenny. It doesn't make a difference. What matters right now is that we know someone with some impressive... abilities... is looking for the Sakura Wars team. We need to find the other team members. And find out if this is connected to the Japanese Prince being in New York.”

Snake did not realize that Musashi was not evil. As far as Snake was concerned, the Prince of Japan with a connection to the Sakura Team was a suspect worth checking out. Of course, if his other hunch was right, Didymus might have an even better suspect... and Snake hoped he would enlighten them.

As Musashi started to follow his instincts in hope he could manage to hit that mythical nine-out-of-ten figure he somehow never hit that often...

"THERE IT IS!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!! I THOUGHT I'D NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!" a yell came from outside the safehouse, as a young man ran up to the stolen car outside the safehouse, and hugged the nose/hood of the car.

Conveniently so, in his hugging of the hood, he had a perfect view through a window, into the safehouse...

...a perfect view of Musashi making out with Laila. This hour just has been getting better and better! Quickly picking up his briefcase and bringing it up to where his eye level had been, there was a snap, and then another snap, this one with a flash (when in doubt, both use and don't use the flash!).

SMILE! YOU'RE ON CANDID CAMERA!!
