"Alastair?" She called out.
"Alastair, where are you...?" She whimpered.
Suddenly, from the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of something familiar.
Her eyes twinkled.
"Alastair!" She cried out in relief, quickly rushing over to the man and embracing him.
The man stood with his back towards the girl, remaining completely still and silent.
"Alastair...?" She cocked her head in confusion.
As she reached for his hand, Alastair quickly pulled it away.
Rachael's eyes widened.
"Say, Alastair, we can go home now, yes...?" She whispered.
The man's shoulders began bobbing up and down as he suddenly burst out laughing.
"We?" He sneered.
"What do you mean can we go home?" He questioned.
Rachael's heart dropped.
"B-but, Alastair,"
"Don't you get it, Rachael?" He

As Rachael lay fast asleep on the bed, a little girl began shaking her fervently. "Hey!" The girl called out. "Excuse me...!" She called out once more. The girl then turned her head towards Honch. "It's no good, papa. Is she dead?!" The little girl cried out in alarm. Honch let out a laugh. "She's not dead; I'm sure she's just beyond exhausted, Fiora." He reassured. "But...!" Fiora pouted. "Now, now," he began. "I know you'd like to play with her, but for now," he continued, kneeling. "Let her rest, okay?" He said, patting her head. "F-fine..." Fiora grumbled. Thank goodness she's still fast asleep before she has the opportunity to spot me... Honch thought to himself in relief as he headed towards the door. "Ack!" Fiora suddenly shrieked. "What's the matter, Fiora?!" Honch exclaimed, rushing back over to her. "A bug, a bug, kill it, papa, please kill it!" She desperately pleaded. "Where...?" Honch asked, letting out a sigh. "On that girl's face!" She cried, frantically

"B-but...!" Rachael protested, standing up. "Hm?" Honch turned his head. "Oh, right, you..." He frowned. "Worry not, Rachael, I'll have Cya bring you home," he said. "You're letting the person who kidnapped her bring her home...?" Sev questioned, baffled. "Cya has a good heart; she was just following instructions, you see," Honch said with a sigh. "Let us hurry and head down the elevator, now!" He said, looking down from the balcony at the machine anxiously. "M-mm..." Rachael gulped as they left Fiora's bedroom. * After the elevator shaft arrived at the ground level, Cya nor Rosario were anywhere to be found. "Those dimwits...!" Honch cried, placing Fiora down. "Sev!" He barked. "Where on earth did they go?!" He demanded. "Rosario wanted his silly little petal chips, master," Sev explained. "That idiot...!" Honch growled, gritting his teeth in annoyance. *

Back at the labs, Honch, Rachael, Fiora, and Sev were making their way to the main room, which contained the spirit regenerator. "Um, you will take me home, yes?" Rachael asked nervously, tugging on Honch's shirt. "Yes, yes, eventually," he said, sighing. "Papa," Fiora began. "What is it, Fiora?" Honch questioned. "Is mama a nice lady?" She asked. Honch suddenly stopped walking, causing a domino effect of each person bumping into one another. He then smiled softly as if reminiscing. "Ah, she sure is..." He whispered. "Master, this way, please," Sev impatiently instructed as she began walking ahead. "M-may I stay here until we're ready to go...?" Rachael questioned. "Do whatever it is you want to do," Honch said, swiftly brushing the girl off. Rachael nodded as she watched the other three make their way into the room. * "Where do I turn?"

"Right, turn right, I said!" He barked. "Oh, just shut it already!" Alastair snapped. "Looks like master Honch neglected to teach you your lefts from your rights, huh?" Cya sneered. "At least he's not the one exclaiming to the world that he kidnapped a child," Aya huffed, pinching Cya's cheek. "Ow!" Cya cried out. "Don't pinch me, you little...!" She growled. "Easy now, Aya," Alastair warned. "Hey, are we almost there yet?" He asked, letting out a sigh, his patience beginning to wear thin. "Maybe we are, maybe we aren't," Rosario replied with a shrug. "I don't have time for your silly little riddles, funny man; answer the damn question," Alastair warned. "F-fine, yes, we're getting close, turn right after this light, and we'll be there!"

Standing firmly in front of a little girl stood a young boy. Towering over the two children stood a man in a lab coat. "For the last time, hand her over, you brat!" The man barked. The girl began shaking in fear. The boy narrowed his eyes. "Over my dead body." He said coldly. "Oh?" The man grinned. "Well, I can happily arrange that," he sneered as he began to raise an arm. "367!" The girl cried out. The boy closed his eyes tightly. After a few moments, the boy opened his eyes. Standing behind the other man was a familiar face. "H-Honch...!" The boy cried out. "Listen to me," Honch began warning the man as he grabbed him by his raised arm. "Either you let them go, or I break your arm, you decide." He said coldly. "A-alright, fine! Just let go!" The man shrieked as he struggled to break free. Honch let out a sigh as he released the man, who quickly ran off. Honch then turned his back to the two children. "H-Honch, that was so cool...!"

After an emotionally draining day, as well as a narrow escape from the explosions, extreme fatigue had hit the boy known as ‘367’."Is he awake yet?" Tessa questioned."Not yet, I’m afraid," Honch replied."367, please wake up!" 366 cried out.“Ah, he’s stirring…!” Tessa exclaimed.As 367 slowly began to open his eyes, 366 tackled him in an embrace.“367, thank goodness you’re alright!” The girl cried out, getting snot on the boy’s shoulder.“W-what’s going on...?” The boy questioned lethargically while struggling to wiggle out of 366’s death hold.“You’ve had quite a long day; perhaps try not to move around too much,” Honch said, giving a soft smile.367 stared blankly at the man for a few moments.Yeah, a long day, no thanks to you, Honch… The boy thought to himself in annoyance.“367, is something troubling you?” Tessa frowned, furrowing her brows.“A-ah, it’s nothing…” The boy chuckled nervously.“Tessa,” Honch began, placing a hand on the woman’s shoulder.“Why don’t you maybe ta

"Are you awake yet?" A voice called out. "Hm...?" 367 questioned as he sat up and wiped his eyes. "I suppose you weren't up quite yet; my apologies, Alastair," Honch said, taking a seat on the end of the boy's bed. "Huh...?" The boy cocked his head in confusion. "You do realize you cannot continue going by '367' for the rest of your life, correct my boy?" Honch chuckled. Suddenly the realization hit the boy. He was no longer confined to a number; he was finally free to live his life as he wished. "Alastair?" Honch frowned as he noticed the boy's shoulders bobbing up and down. "T-thank you..." The boy whispered, trying his best to suppress his tears. Honch then closed his eyes. "No, Alastair, I should be the one thanking you." He said, smiling softly, as he put an arm around the boy. "During our time at that dreaded laboratory, you and Aya are the ones who have taught me countless things time and time again." He smiled, petting the top of the boy's head. * "Breakfast is read

Rosario hissed."Hey, hey, I helped by buying the decorations for our apartment!" Cya cried out."Tacky decorations, that is," Sev frowned."If you don't like it, there's the door!" Cya shouted."Oh, Cya, relax; she's teasing," Honch reassured."Though," he frowned."That lamp is rather tacky..." He mumbled."Not you too!" Cya cried out in frustration."Well then," Honch cleared his throat."If you three are ready and moved in, I suppose I shall be taking my leave then," he said."Take it easy, Honch," Rosario said, waving goodbye."See you later!"

He interrupted."Darling, you're standing right before me, talking to me; that's all I've been yearning for, for the past thirteen years...!"

Kacie raised a brow."Listen, kid," Alastair began, slowly walking towards the girl."I don't care about your papa or his dreams; I'm here for one thing and one thing only," he paused."That being said, we can do this the easy way or the hard way; which do you prefer?"

Alastair and Aya hopped out from either side of the backseat as the taxi doors slammed shut. Upon entering the hospital, there was a whirlwind of sounds as the two ran frantically to the help desk. Alastair, panting and trying to catch his breath, slammed a fist onto the desk. "What room is Tessa Holbrooke in?!" He cried out. "I'm sorry, however-" Before the help desk employee could continue, however, Alastair slammed his fist down yet again. "What room?!" He shrieked tearfully. "R-room 246...!" The employee yelped.
