Chaotic Stray Dogs

The glass shards broke even further as the man walked on them. He looked up to take in the view. Once a majestic tower, now was in ruins. The tall tower that was seen from far edges of the city now lay on the ground, like the dead. Like his comrades. 

Like corpses she left in her wake. 

Said girl was in the middle of the room. Tied to one of the three chairs which surrounded a table. She gazed at him calmly, her blue eyes watching his every move. She had tilted her head as if she was confused. Damned brat!

Upon his arrival the two guards got up from their seats and saluted. Meanwhile the girl had shifted her attention to them. She looked as if the guards were the most interesting in the world. Well it didn't matter now, it was the interrogation time. 

"So little miss!" he started "It is a pleasure to be finally meeting you! Let me say your brother is quite the handful one. Although you are not any better." he threw a file he carried with him to the table. A file that consisted of information about his comrades. With his most fake smile he opened it so she could see it's contents. All she did was to raise her head in question. 

"Twelve corpses." his smile turned to a grin "Under fifteen minutes." he adjusted his gloves and slapped her. She let out a hiss but did not react much other than that. 

"I must say missy, you really are something else." he slapped her again, this time harder. "Really the devil's spawn. Now, you have three options." he waited a few seconds for her to recover. She turned her gaze, burning with hatred now, to him again. 

"One: You tell us where your friends are, and maybe live." 

She snorted. 

"Two: You don't tell us, I torture you until you do and you suffer a terrible death." 

She stared at him. 

"And three: You join us."

Well she definitely did not expect that. The man continued as if she wasn't starring at him like he turned into a purple hippo with three heads. 

"You, little miss, have an extremely useful ability. But of course, many people have useful abilities. You, however can recognise a good deal and act on it. The others can't do that. And if you were to join your brother would follow you with no thoughts-"

That seemed like a breaking point in his words because the girl started cackling like a maniac. And she didn't stop. Her laugh, which could rival the most dramatic pyschopaths, continued on. A bit over the top if you asked him. He was sure she was halfly faking it. Which made it more annoying. The worst part was that she sometimes tried to stop herself only to look at him and start laughing again. The man saw one of the guards get up from his seat, his face burning with hatred and annoyence. 

"That's it! Someone needs to shut you up." he said as he raised his hand. The man lunched forward, shouting in panic. 

"Don't do that-" 

Everything happened in a second. First her laugh abrubtly cut off, then followed by a slap voice and the next thing he knew the guard was falling backwards, hitting his head and blood splashing everywhere. The man glared at the girl, a cheshire grin on her face. He punched her this time, in hopes of erasing it. All she did has to lick the blood on her lip. 

"Sir! What do I do!?" the other guard was in panic, starring at his fallen partner. 

"Go get more people to clean it up. Give him a propal burial."

He stared at her, defeated as she continued the smile. Even if she was tied up, bleeding, hurt and under his mercy, he still felt fear when he looked into those cold eyes and sharp smile. To distract himself he picked his file and made the necesarry changes. 

Thirteen corpses. Under forty minutes. 

This was truly the devil's spawn. 

~~~

Fadeyka knew something bad was going to happen when he woke up that morning. He had an itching feeling inside. He groaned as he got out of the bed. They had rented a small motel (thanks to Mori's stolen card) for their group to stay when they finally found everyone. He went to bathroom to fix his hair and brush his teeth. When he faced the mirror he saw them. 

Just behind his own reflection there stood two blurry figures. One was a boy with dark hair and dark eyes. He was standing and just looking at him, he presumed. This one was always the most blurry one. Next to him sat a girl. She was really pale, to the point she was transparent. Fadeyka thought she was a ghost when he first started seeing her. Now looking at her sharp smirk, he knew she was something worse than that. 

He sighed, closing his eyes. He rubbed on them, hard, but it didn't work. There they were, still in the mirror's reflection. His anxiousness must have been more severe than he thought, if he started seeing them this early on. Only if he could shake that terrible feeling. 

"Fadeyka! Breakfast! Then we need to go to the Agency, Kunikida said it was urgent!" Fumiya's voice got him out of his thoughts. 

"In a minute!" he yelled back as he started to put on clothes he randomly grapped inside of his coat. All of them were same anyways. Endless fabrics of black and white. Just like he favoured. 

Everyone was already downstairs when he finished dressing. He liked to sleep, can you really blame him? After all, a criminal is never late (because they have a strict timetable for the crime) everyone else is simply too early. 

"Well finally" Takashi spoke from their place at the table. Daishiro gave him a nod in greetings. Fumiya was too horrified from Takashi's way of making cereal to wish him a good morning. 

"You are a monster." the brunet said starring unblinkingly at Takashi's breakfast. Though in Fadeyka's opinion calling that abomination "breakfast" would be insult to breakfast itself. 

"It's just cereal." Takashi waved him off. "There isn't a rule about how to make it." just as they said it, they dropped an unholy amount of cereal to the bowl. Then to make the matter worse, they started to crush the cereal with their spoon. 

"I can't watch this!" Fumiya went to get more coffee. Fadeyka too, couldn't handle that sight and decided to get himself a proper breakfast. 

"So" he started as he served himself a plate of sausages and tomatoes "What's going on?" 

"Who knows?" Fumiya seemed to got out of his original shock as he had started to munch on some bread while his back was turned to Takashi "Atsushi-san called and said it was "very urgent" so they want us in the office."

"And that was fifteen minutes ago. So finish up quickly." Daishiro coldly warned as he finished his coffee and went upstairs to his room. 

"Christ, have you guys ever seen him smile?" Fadeyka asked. Both Fumiya and Takashi shook their heads in "no". 

"Mori-san says he rarely smiled as a baby. Then stopped all together." Fumiya said. 

"Damn. Even my brother smiled more often." The Ukrainian finished his plate and got up to do last minute chores. 

Ten minutes later, they were on the train heading to the Agency. It was a quiet ride, considering the early hour. Morning rush hadn't even started yet!

"This better be important!" Fadeyka thought, a headache already forming. He seriously hated mornings. He waited until the others got into the elevetor and with a swish of his coat he was already upstairs. For some reason they hated using his ability. Daishiro and Takashi thought it was unnatural. Fumiya, ever the paranoid, thought it would open one to danger. With a sigh he opened the door. 

"Here we are." he announced "So what is this about?" before anyone could answer Tanizaki appeared out of nowhere and grabbed him by the shoulders. Fadeyka hated it but the frantic look on the other worried him. 

"Naomi!" he screamed "Someone took Naomi!" 

"They what!?" Fadeyka heard Takashi, the trio had just entered the Agency. 

"Well... It was important" Fadeyka thought, that itching feeling growing worse and worse every second. He swore he could hear the girl laughing, mocking him and the terrible situation the Agency was in. Alas, as usual, no one would get it if he told the others. Only he was cursed to know their existence. Even if it was only limited to his mind. 

~~~

The situation was truly desperate. They were stuck with the Mafia and terrorists, with their future children with them and now Naomi was missing! Atsushi was terrified to be honest. 

"She went out to get ice cream last night but didn't return!" Tanizaki had said first thing in the morning (which was around sunrise) 

"I checked everywhere! She's just gone..."

Hence they spent the entire morning searching for her, they had even called Dostoevsky down to help them. No one knew where he and the other two had disappeared to last night but Atsushi saw no one seemed to care. So it was safe to say no one was up to anything right now. 

"Where is Gogol?" he hesitantly asked to them when he noticed the energetic clown missing. Dostoevsky seemed really entertained by that question. He chuckled to himself but did not grace the weretiger with an answer. Sigma, however seemed very upset. 

"He didn't wake up today. He must have spent all night trying to prank me!" he rolled his eyes "I mean why would anyone even think about putting flour in a hairdryer!?" 

"I think the frying pan you threw at him had to do with the fact he was out cold this morning." Dostoevsky said, still looking very amused. Hearing his comment Fadeyka let out a whimper. All head turned to him. 

"I- uh..." he seemed nervous "I've had experiences with that..." he rubbed the back of his head "With you and... throwing frying pans" 

Fumiya and Takashi were snickering behind him, trying to avoid eye contact so that they wouldn't burst out laughing. Daishiro however placed a hand on Fadeyka's shoulder. 

"Now now Fadeyka. You did lit his casino on fire multiple times." he said as if to cheer him up. His matter of fact tone, blank face and harsh words didn't help the boy at all. 

"Half of them were because of my sister..." 

"Also the time you put live tarantulas on his bed." Fumiya added, still laughing. 

"You WHAT!?" the manager screamed. 

"He got his casino back?" Kyoka asked, as if that was the most unnatural thing about this situation. 

"It's not as grand as it was before and is on the ground... but yeah, a nice place." Fumiya smiled. Meanwhile Daishiro was still listing all the offences (which some should be counted as crimes because Atsushi was very certain that a seventeen year old shouldn't be carrying acid around) 

"Also that one time you and Fumiya decided to get a fake bomb and-" 

"Alright captain!" Fumiya interrupted "Let's continue the search yes? Whoever took Naomi-san might have our team members so..." 

"You might be right... The Ring does seem suspicious. They must have been planning something if they didn't do anything until now." 

"How many are out there?" Fukuzawa asked, scaring Atsushi to death, he hadn't realised he was in the room. Daishiro shrugged. 

"No idea. But if all the members that surrounded us came back I would say more than a hundred."

"They probably did what we did and joined forces with their past selves too." Fadeyka added. "Not to mention our parents..." he didn't finish but guessing from their faces their fates weren't good. Atsushi felt bad for them. Just how hard it must've been for them to come to a new enviroment after possibly losing their parents? 

"This Ring... Did they kill your parents?" Fyodor asked bluntly. 

"Wow, cruel!" Dazai said

"Something like that." Fumiya muttered. 

"Atsushi! Atsushi I have something!" 

Atsushi perked when he heard the familiar voice of Lucy Montgomery. The redhaired girl barged in the Agency, waving something like a tablet around. 

"What is it!?" Tanizaki yelled practically teleporting next to them. Fadeyka teleported next to them. Very silently at that. The kid was creepy. Lucy had just regained her breath, she started to explain. 

"A customer was just in here. He simply ordered a coffee and left but forgot this. Well I thought he did..." she turned the tablet over. It had a post-it note on it:

To Fukuzawa Daishiro;

Connect this to a screen. We'll call tonight. Do anything and the hostages die. 

From: 

And there was a symbol, three rings forming a triangle. It reminded Atsushi a little about the Olympic symbol. Well if it had three rings instead of five. 

"This is The Ring right?" Lucy asked after a few seconds of silence. 

"It sure is." Fadeyka took it "Hey Captain, check this out!"

Daishiro read the note, then gave it to his father (it felt weird even thinking about this) eventually the tablet got around and everyone had looked at it until it made it's way back to the president. 

"Hostages... One of yours I presume?" Dazai asked to Fumiya. The boy nodded. 

"The letter is towards Captain, therefore to us." 

"What should we do?" Tanizaki asked. 

"Nothing." Takashi, ever the positive kid, answered. No one nerved Atsushi more than them if he was being honest. They felt surreal, like he'd close his eyes and they'd be gone by the time he opened them again. It was one thing to learn he was going to date Akutagawa (how THAT happened Atsushi never wanted to know) and one thing that he had an actual, living child. 

"They're not stupid enough to send us an empty threat." they continued. "I say we wait. We know too little about this. They might harm Naomi-san." 

"And whoever they have from your team." Atsushi added.

"I wouldn't worry about that dad- I- I mean Atsushi-san!" Takashi stuttered, Atsushi found it adorable. They looked like a cat who broke a vase. "We are not people who go down easily." 

"Yes but being alone is different. They have another hostage now." Daishiro warned "You're right about not acting until the call but when they do we must be very careful. If I know them, their offer will be worse than losing two of ours to them." 

"What is that supposed to mean!?" Tanizaki shouted "Because if you are thinking about sacrificing my sister-"

"No one is thinking that Tanizaki." Fukuzawa interrupted, effectively shutting everyone up 

"Daishiro was simply saying to pay attention to the call, so that we can get a clue about where they are and rescue them without any losses." Fukuzawa turned to the boy "He just had a bad wording for it." 

And to Atsushi's surprise, the boy who he thought to not have any emotions turned his head away to hide his reddening cheeks.

"You always say that..." he mumbled. Fukuzawa ignored the kid. 

"Well then, we will wait until the call. Ranpo," he turned to the detective. "I am counting on you to find all the details from that call."

"Of course I will! This job can only be done by the greatest detective in the world after all!" Ranpo exclaimed, showing off his glasses. 

"Just keep them on call for two minutes." Dostoevsky suddenly said. Fumiya shrieked, turning around to see the man right behind him. 

"What is wrong with this family!?" he shouted "I hate jumpscares!" 

"I wasn't trying to scare you..." Dostoevsky seemed confused by his behaviour but Fumiya was too busy smacking a laughing Fadeyka to hear it. 

"What do you mean by that?" ignoring the boys, Kunikida asked him. He looked sceptical. Atsushi couldn't blame him though. Kunikida despised Dostoevsky. 

"Well, it is possible to trace a call. I can connect that tablet to my computer and find out where the signal is coming from." Dostoevsky explained.

"Not sure if that'll work papa. They can't be that stupid." Fadeyka said. 

"Don't call me that." the Russian glared at the boy. Fadeyka didn't seen to be affected by it though. "And if you are my son" he said the last word with the coldest tone Atsushi had ever heard in his life "then you should know there is no technology I cannot hack."

"Well papa" Fadeyka had the same tone "it is because I am your son that I know your limits. Trust me, I've-"

"Trust you?" Dostoevsky cut him off "Why would we trust you? Because you technically kidnapped us? Because you blackmailed us into helping you? You really are a fool if you think we trust you." 

"It's not our fault if you have the mindset of preschool children and had to be blackmailed to work together." Fadeyka glared. 

"Okay that's enough!" Fumiya raised his voice. "Both of you are acting like kids right now."

"Not my fault that he's being an annoying bit-"

"I said enough Deyka." The brunet cut him of again, more angrier this time. "You know your father better than all of us, you can't possibly be surprised that he doesn't trust us. Heck no one here trusts us." Fadeyka only pouted, instead of an answer. 

"But like you said Fyodor-san, we are blackmailing you into helping us. This is our enemy, we know them better than you do. So shut up and listen if we tell you if an idea is a bad idea!"

Everyone in the room looked equally shocked. Only Dazai was grinning. Dostoevsky was frowning slightly and his mouth snapped shut. Atsushi supposed it had been a long time (if ever) since anyone had spoken to him like that. 

"You kids will be a great danger to us." he said "And when that time comes I will kill you. Starting from this merzavetz." he glared at Fadeyka. He however seemed unfazed. 

"You can try." he simply said. Atsushi felt a new wave of respect for the kid. He saw Dazai flash him a smile when Fyodor sat down back to his computer instead of answering. Fadeyka ignored it though, choosing to write into a notebook. 

"It won't hurt to try his method." Daishiro sighed. He looked extremely tired. Seems like everyone else saw that too and decided to do what he said. 

"So we wait until nightfall." 

It was decided. 

~~~

Fadeyka acting emotional was always sign of bad news. He usually could hide it very well but now he was anxious. Fumiya could feel it a mile away. It wasn't a surprise though. This was the most dangerous job they ever had. Actually scratch that, this the first job they ever had. Maybe you could count the book fair but given how disasterous it ended, he thought it would be better if it wasn't in their none-existent resume. 

It was safe to say Fadeyka's anxiety was justified. Still Fumiya had enough mind to know the rest were fine. This didn't stop him from making that honeyed tea Fadeyka favoured. The said boy smiled sweetly as he handed him a cup. How the son of the most dangerous criminals in this century could be so adorable, Fumiya did not know. (All platonic of course but Fadeyka was just too handsome to not to be charmed with). 

"You're getting better at this." Takashi said as they sipped their tea. Fumiya let out a dramatic gasp. 

"How dare you Takkun! My culinary skills have always been perfect!" 

A loud silence followed the room. Daishiro opened his mouth to speak and he better not bring up-

"You burned water-"

"I was seven!" Fumiya shrieked. They always brought that up! 

"My tato got poisoned after a dinner at your house." Fadeyka remarked. 

"That wasn't me! Turns out my dad was trying to poison Fyodor-san but Nikolai just decided to drink from his cup!" 

"He- what!?" Fadeyka choked on his tea. After a few second of coughing he mumbled, mostly to himself "We thought he was being dramatic for thinking that!" a laughter took over the kids. Rest of the Agency was watching them with great interest. From the corner of his eyes Fumiya saw Takashi happily smiling. The younger was always in a good mood when everyone around them were smiling. 

Next fifteen minutes were less agonizing than earlier wait. And when the clock hit nine and that call started to ring... They had connected the tablet to the big screen in Fukuzawa's office and to Fyodor's computer. Everyone was on edge when Daishiro got ready to answer it. He glanced at Fyodor to confirm if he was ready. The Russian nodded. 

"Well look who it is!" the man who answered, is by all means, normal. Western, brown hair, blue eyes. Has a regular name like Jack or something. He was mostly known as "Warden", given he is one. Thanks to him many of the Ring members who got caught escaped easily. He's good at planning and leadership but that's about it. Fumiya wants to laugh. If this guy captured one of his friends, then he's sure they let him do it. 

"Oh shit it's you." Takashi groaned. Well, that was a good way to sum it up. 

"Watch it brat. You know the reason of this call, no?"

Fumiya understands why Takashi hates Warden so much. The man is annoyingly smug. Even now he has that very punchable smirk on his face. Something dark stirred in his stomach. Him being this happy, especially after Takashi gave him that nasty scar on his face, is not good news. 

"Hello Warden." Daishiro greeted cooly. The man in question grinned. 

"Hello brat. Still alive? Oh well, we'll handle that in a bit-"

"Enough!" Tanizaki shouted. He was trembling with anger, standing right in front of the screen. "Where is my sister!?" 

Wardens' smile got bigger. He waved his hands in silent order and not a moment later a figure fell right next to him. Fumiya and Fadeyka shared a glance, preparing themselves for the worst. Fadeyka quietly took a sip of tea. 

"This sister you mean? We have another one too so-"

"Naomi!" Tanizaki isn't even listening to him. His eyes were locked on his "sister". Fumiya heard Atsushi's relieved sigh to his side. Naomi, fortunately, was not hurt too badly. She was tied with robes and uncounsious but she only had a slight purple spot under her eye. Which is little damage in The Ring's standarts. 

"As you can see, she's fine. For now." Warden cheekily said. 

"Listen to me you basta-" 

"Tanizaki." Fukuzawa warned. The ginger reluctantly shut up. 

"Who else do you have?" Daishiro asked, Fumiya could see his hand shaking slightly as he said this. Daishiro has always been more emotional than his parents. A trait he and Fumiya shared. 

"Wouldn't you like to know? That's why we had to take in Naomi-chan here as well. Our little miss won't talk at all. She could be real stubborn. Wouldn't you agree, Fadeyka?" 

Oh no. 

Warden moved to the side to show a small figure, tied up on a chair. She was a bit on the dark side of the room but Fumiya saw how her head had fallen on her shoulder. Beaten and uncounsious. He heard a crash on his side. Fadeyka had dropped his cup, his lips slightly parted. 

"Let's wake her up shall we?" Warden sweetly asked. And with no warned he picked up a sake bottle and slammed it to her head. Fumiya let out an involuntary gasp. She let out a groan as her eyes slowly fluttered open. Her hair was obscuring her eyes, shadows making it impossible to see her features but Fumiya could catch the spots of red on her face, which made his blood boil. He glanced at Fadeyka again, who was frozen in place. The girl stayed quiet for a second, seemingly coming to her senses. 

"Oh." she gave a shaky smile. "Приветик, брат!" she called out. This seemed to bring Fadeyka back to his senses. 

"Sasha." Fumiya could hear the underlying panic in his forced-calm tone. "You okay?"

"As usual." her voice was strained. Heavy torture rang in Fumiya's head. He tried to ignore it. "Actually, I could use some apples. I'm very- hmph!" 

"Yeah, yeah she's fine!" Warden came behind and put his gloved hand on her mouth, effectively shutting her up. 

"Don't you dare to touch her!" Fadeyka trembled with rage. Usually he wasn't the one for raising his voice. Warden smiled again. 

"You are in no position to make a demand, little boy. Here's what we're gonna do. You're gonna surrender and come to the ports near that oil storage. You know right next to the-"

"We know." all kids said at the same time. 

"Oh good. We'll all go there at midnight. In three hours. Not a minute late. I'll bring this one-" he pointed at Naomi, who started to wake up slowly. Tanizaki held his breath. "And give her to you. Exchange for the kids." Warden grinned. "Come any second late and both of the girls will become dinner for the fishes!" and he let a satisfied laugh. Tanizaki seemed way too angered to speak. Fadeyka however, could still let out some words. 

"What about my sister?" he asked, barely keeping calm. Warden's good mood erased in a second and became angry in record speed. 

"Don't you get it stupid boy!? You are in no positio- AHH!" he cut himself short. At first Fumiya didn't understand what was going on. Based on the reactions of others, they didn't too. Only when Warden violently tried to get his hand off of her mouth did they understand. 

"Damn brat! Let go! Let go you dog!" he shouted. 

"Boss! What's going on!?" a voice from one side yelled. 

"Let go brat! She bites! They were right about that!" he finally ripped his gloves off and his index finger was bloodied. Rest of the gloves were in Fumiya's partner's mouth for a moment before she spit it out. 

"Gross! God knows where you put it!" Sasha gagged. "Ew! Disgusting." 

"Why the hell would you-" Takashi started towards the screen but held their tongue the last minute. 

"You think I'd let you insult my brother? You son of a-!"

"Cut the call!" Warden ordered "Remember, midnight or I'll smother her with my own hands!" last thing they heard before the call cut of was a mad cackle belonging to the girl. Fumiya stared at his own reflection in the dark screen. 

"Well... He isn't lying about the deal." Ranpo said. It was a bit obvious though. 

"That was..." Sigma began but did not finish his sentence.

"We need to go to the Port right now!" Tanizaki exclaimed. 

"Oh so you're selling us out?" Fumiya was first to recover his wits. 

"Yes! Oh wait no-" the redhead seemed lost for a moment. "That's not what I meant." he settled. "I was just thinking that we should pretend to follow the deal and attack them the second Naomi and... that kid are safe." 

"No that won't work" Fadeyka quickly cut him off. "Warden is very impulsive and now is very angry with my sister. He would want an excuse to kill her." 

"Naomi is in danger because of you!" Tanizaki yelled, completely out of control. "It's your fault and you will listen to us!" Fadeyka had equally lost it. 

"No! I won't let any harm to my sister!"

"Enough!" surprisingly it was Kunikida who yelled this time. "We could either shout at each other and waste time or we could actually make a plan to survive this trade."

"Or..." a voice muttered. They turned around to find Fyodor sitting on the table with a smirk. He seemed to be enjoying himself. "We could go where they are. Given that I did trace the call." Fumiya was impressed. He was expecting the Ring would do more to protect their communication lines. They weren't as orderly as the thought. Maybe time travel was a logical move after all. 

"Mukurotoride." Fadeyka whispered. Fyodor raised an eyebrow. He seemed... curious. 

"Yes actually. How did you know?" 

Fadeyka's head snapped up. He didn't seem to realise he spoke out loud. "She wanted apples. Sounds like her kind of request to do in a situation like this but she would usually want bananas." 

From the looks of it no one understood. Well Fadeyka wasn't in mood to explain, Fumiya assumed so he took over. 

"As an inside joke we often link Mukurotoride with apples. I'm sure you two can figure it out." he winked towards his dad and Fyodor. "Anyways, despite her bizarre personality, that shrimp takes things seriously. She wanted to give us a clue. Thanks to Fyodor-san," he smiled at the man, a small apology due to his earlier rudeness. The man seemed uncaring though. "Ehem. Thanks to him we definitely know she's in Mukurotoride."

"Well then let's go get them!" Atsushi said. 

"Not so fast-"

"Yeah! Let's go."

Both Kunikida and Takashi spoke at the same time. The kid gave a big grin. A bit uncharacteristic for those who didn't know them. 

"We can't just barge in without a plan." the idealist reasoned. 

"Well Kunikida... That's exactly what we do." Fumiya smiled. The man was so stunned that he didn't even correct Fumiya's lack of respect. It was quite amusing to watch. 

"Surely you will make a plan." Fukuzawa said to Daishiro. The captain shook his head. "He's right. We usually just break the door down and see what happens." 

"And... it works?" Yosano seemed amused. Fumiya made a "so so" gesture. "Well I did once ended up in jail." 

"And there was the Los Angeles book fair..." Takashi faltered. Yeah the book fair... The book fair was a bad time to improvise. 

"In any case it will be fine. We are stronger than we look! Also I'm sure you'll come too. There is nothing Agency can't handle after all." Takashi reassured. 

"I am curious." Dazai said with a smirk. "About how these kids handle situations." 

"But what if something happens to Naomi?" Tanizaki asked. 

"Would you rather wait for midnight?" Fadeyka retorted. "At least this way we have the element of surprise." 

"And we're going whether you guys come or not." 

"What do you say President?" Yosano asked. Fukuzawa was quiet for a moment. 

"We don't have much choice. Very well, go to Mukurotoride and see the situation. Get them back if you can win, but come back if you can't. Don't risk anyone's lives." Fukuzawa decided. 

"Aye aye!" Fumiya cheered. Tanizaki looked defeated but it seems he was okay with whatever got Naomi back. He extended his hand to Fadeyka. The Ukrainian was surprised. 

"Well we both have the same goal. Let's have eacher others backs and get our sisters home." 

Fadeyka smiled and shook his hand. "He's not your real sister though." Now Tanizaki was surprised but he didn't say anything. 

"Alright then-" Fadeyka declared loudly "Vamonos!" and dramatically flipped his coat. 

In the back of the room Sigma turned to Fyodor and asked "Does that include us too?"
