*shouko finally break free from michael looking from kelly to michael she flash them a mocking smile*

Shouko:Sorry we had to use Hideki-kun....*seeing that none understood she bit her lower lip* you guys were going on a false trail so we had to figure out a plan*She look at kelly-san waving a hand* well not to offend you...*she blinks before punching michael on his arm*WHO ARE YOU CALLING LIL I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW IM 20 YEARS OLD!!!!*She was brought back to her normal state by the angry cough from kelly*

Shouko:*fidgets with her fingers*...you make people nervous....

Kelly:start talking and start from the beginning,

shouko:when you can't find someone let them find you...that's what My uncle Ryu told me once...and it's upon that,that our plan is a success....Manipulating Hideki to go see his parents, we even made the elves to attack hideki.....it was all good timing

Kelly:what do you mean?

Shouko:simple that this was all a plan...so we can save Rina...I gave Hideki's Rina's pin,it's a tracking device thats why you can track him down...and seeing him in the halsey lab proves that we are on the right track...

Kelly:Your not implying that...

shouko:maybe i am...but all i know is that i need your help,it's not easy pretending to be weak...im surprise that she didn't notice..

Mike, rubbing his arm: Ow, ow... *Bows to Shouko with a mocking smile of his own.* So sorry Shouko -han, but you are a bit smaller than the rest of us...... and I didn't think it polite to ask your age.

*Mike's look became darker again.*

Mike: You should have told some of us about this plot of yours. what if something had gone wrong..... even elves aren't invulnerable.

*Shouko looked up at the big guy, at least he meant well. She didn''t know whether she should like him or not, but he had stepped in to help her.......... One plus for him..... he wasn't a human, she could tell that when he was holding her, but he wasn't any of the other races either. Shouko wondered what the elders would think of that. She would like to see what that power thing was that he had under his shirt, it had her curiosity way up....... someday she'd find out.*

Shouko: Hai, Mikey-Chan, but you wouldn't have let us do it.

*Mike winced..... maybe big oaf sounded better.*

* Kelly sighed, making signals to the soldiers to pick up everything. *

Kelly: Even so, your plan only proves that Dr. Halsey won't let anything happen to her son. We still don't know if she has Rina or not.

* Samuel walked up to them, hanging up his phone. *

Samuel: Our people inside Dr. Halsey's lab aren't answering.

Kelly: That could mean a lot of things and not all of them are bad, maybe they just can't find an isolated place to answer without the rest of the staff noticing... or they could be dead.

* Kelly took out her cellphone and dialed while walking up to one of the cars and calling Michael and Shouko with her other hand. *

Kelly: Operator? Patch me through to Amazon Pharma Labs, Dr. Halsey's extension, please.

Mike: Well, we could go in with guns blazing and rescue Hideki, if he needs any rescuing. But maybe we should get some recon first.... the JAF boys should deliver what I ordered this morning. I have a stelth recon plane, and two micros coming. You may not know about the micros yet, they're the size of a big bug, and very silent. They fly from the mother plane, and can get in almost anywhere a bug can. Kunikida should be able to operate them, he's been playing with the simulator. If he can't, I can. Maybe we can get a look inside that lab, we might find Hideki or Rina, or at least get an idea if something is wrong there................. Darn it, Shouko-han, she wants us to go with her. Please just play along with her for now, I don't want to have to pick you up again.

*Actually, Mike thought, it was kind of pleasant holding the small girl, sort of like........ Mike hadn't had time to think about it, but now he remembered the time Aki had jumped into his arms....... the hurt came back like he'd been hit with a cannon shell. Shouko noticed Mike's mood change, she could feel something was hurting the big guy..... She didn't know what it was, but for some odd reason, she didn't like it. Shouko got into the car with Mike, she really didn't like the humans cars, but she would play along..... for now.*

shouko:Mike i know you asked me to play along with kelly....but only five of us should go in the lab...we have to pick up Aki*ignoring Michael's flinch she went on*If Dr halsey Realize that we aren't pursuing her false trail she will immediately know that we've used her son to get to her...Uncle ryuu told me that she isn't someone to take lightly...if she have succeeded in fooling Uncle once then she is a terrifying person...Thats why kelly-san shouldn't make a lot of people come....having Rina's friends and us is enough....Kain can be dealt with you and hideki...

Kimara: Eh??? Look there are cars outside. *Kimara spotted Kelly getting in the car and she waved and ran up to the car.* Kelly-san! *She peered inside the car and was surprised to see Michael and Shouko at the back seat.*

Aki: Where are you guys going? *Aki was just behind Kimara also peering inside the car. Funny, she felt something twitch inside when she saw Mike with Shouko. Aki pushed it away, must have been something she ate.*

*Mike still was looking down, but Shouko saw Aki outside the car. She knew this was the girl that had been around with Mike the last week....... was she the reason Mike felt sad? Shouko smiled when she saw the look on Aki's face, and saw her back up slightly. Shouko slid close to Mike and leaned against him. Shouko spoke just loud enough for the sensitive ears of the kitsune to hear.*

Shouko: I'm so glad to be going with you Mikey-kun. I feel so much safer. *She smiled at Aki...... and almost giggled at the look on the girls face. Yup, this was going to be fun.*

Mike, still didn't look up: Ya, that's good, I wish I had my gloves though.

*Samuel was getting in the front seat, he handed the gloves to Mike.*

Samuel: Brought these down for you, thought you Might need them, in case you want to bash in any doors or something.

Mike looked up: Thanks I might.......... *Mikes eyes locked with Aki's.......... the elf girl did giggle.*

* Kelly looked at Michael and Shouko while the operator connected her to Linda's extension, looking annoyed. *

Kelly: Look, you two, I'm in charge here and I'll be the one to say who goes and how things will get done IF they get done. I already told you that we have NO proof whatsoever that Rina is in that lab and since it's her mother he's with, we could even get him back just by asking, so stay put!

* Someone answered on the phone and Kelly turned around to talk. *

Kelly: Yes, this is Lieutenant Commander Kelly Emerald of the JMSDF, I need to talk with Dr. Linda Halsey, please... yes, I'll wait, thank you.

* Kelly turned to look at Kimara and Aki who had just gotten there. *

Kelly: We are trying to solve a little something, nothing much...

Rina:Kidnap?I dunno....hideki...*her eyes widen with fear*WAKE UP!!!

*Rina found herself struggling in the container,something was affecting her badly*

Drh:sorry Rina but we had to wake you up in this dream...

* Hideki woke up startled. He looked around, trying to figure out where he was. Let's see... I was in the park with Kelly... there were elves attacking us... then mom came by and helped... then... oooh, I'm SO giving a piece of my mind to Shouko once I see her... He noticed a big mirror in the opposite wall, covering most of it. There was also a door on another wall. He stood up and started walking towards the door, but the lights suddenly went out, allowing him to see the other side of the "mirror". It was something he had seen only on high budget films. A lab with robotic arms hanging from the ceiling, people in white pressurized suits and a container in the middle of the room. And inside the container, Rina. Naked. Hideki stared for a moment his mind drawing a blank, his brain short-circuited. *

* The hold tone finally ended and Linda's secretary started talking with Kelly. *

Kelly: Yes, I'm still here... No? But she's in the lab, right? ... I see... Uh hum, no that won't be necessary, let her know I'm going to drop by, thanks!

* Kelly hanged up before the secretary could say anything then looked at Aki and Kimara. *

Kelly: Kimara, I'll need a favor. I've been trying to call Kunikida all morning but his parents say his been locked in his room since yesterday night with a "performing hacker magic, don't disturb" sign hanged on his door. Please stop by his place and give him this, it's to hook up to captain Tanaka's UAV's.

Kimara: Hai!

* Kimara took the package and waved goodbye before leaving towards Kunikida's place. Kelly then looked at Aki. *

Kelly: I'm against taking along people with no military training, but we are short on spellcasters so hop on in.

* Back in the lab, Hideki finally snapped out of his "trance" and shook his head. This was NOT the time to admire the natural beauty of-- He shook his head again, then looked around for something to break the glass with. He was going to rescue Rina whatever it took. *
