"Hm..." He frowned.
"What's the matter?" Rachael questioned.
"I-it's nothing..." Alastair mumbled.
"I was wondering where you went off to!" A voice called out.
Suddenly Alastair's face lit up.
"R-RIKI...!" He cried out.
Riki studied the girl beside him for a moment.
"And this is...?" She asked.
"O-oh, this?!" Alastair stammered, pointing at Rachael.
"This is my..."
"I'm his co-worker, Rachael." Rachael smiled.
"Co-worker...?" Riki frowned.
"Aren't you a bit too young t-"
"Kids, they say the silliest things, huh?!" Alastair cried, quickly cutting her off.
"I'm watching after her, at least for the time being!" He chuckled nervously.
"Right..." Riki said.
"Anyway, a pleasure to meet you, Rachael!" Riki beamed.
She's so cute when she smiles like that...! Alastair thought to

"Is something the matter?" Rachael, who was sitting on the couch already dressed, questioned. "I have to go pick Kiernan up from camp; I overslept..." Alastair grumbled. "Kiernan...?" Rachael asked as she cocked her head in confusion. "A-ah, right, you two haven't met yet, huh?" Alastair said as he quickly took a swig of orange juice. Rachael shook her head. "Is she nice?" She asked. "Kiernan? Mm, she's pretty laidback." Alastair responded. "I see..." Rachael smiled. "May I take a ride if it's not too much trouble, Alastair?" She questioned.

After dropping Kiernan off at her apartment, Alastair lounged around at his desk while Rachael was fast asleep on the couch.

"Yes, it seems that the boy is physically ready to handle the operation; his body has responded to the injections just fine." A man replied. "Excellent, now go retrieve him," the woman said. "Oh, and Doctor Honch," the woman continued. "You are looking quite pale, tell me; you haven't grown attached to this experiment, have you?" The woman asked, narrowing her eyes.

Rachael's face suddenly lit up."Really?!" She cried."Hey now, who said you were getting any?" Alastair teased."Hmph...!"

As Kacie was busy on the phone with a client, Alastair was hovering over her seemingly nervously. "Would you like me to inform him about anything else?" Kacie questioned. "I see..." She nodded, jotting something down on a nearby notepad. "Okay then, take care, bye-bye!" She said, hanging up the phone. "Well?" Alastair began just inches from her face. "Uh, boss, a little personal space isn't too much to ask, for now, is it...?" Kacie asked, chuckling nervously. "Ah, you're right, my apologies..." Alastair mumbled, stepping back a bit. "So," Kacie began, clearing her throat. "The client is a nightclub owner who has had complaints filed about a mysterious woman who has flirted with numerous male customers only to mock them, then disappear suddenly without a trace..."

Alastair whispered."Rach, you stay here, and when that song you know I like comes on, that's your cue to start the process of sealing, okay?"Rachael cocked her head."You mean that song with the bad words...?""My Lonely Vision by Six Feet Under Conversations!" Alastair exclaimed."Just listen for the title of the song in the lyrics, okay?!" He cried."Fine, but stop yelling at me!" Rachael demanded as she proceeded to stick her tongue out."Good grief..."

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...!"

Aya quickly spun around."This little girl is refusing to let us go any further!" She cried."I won't let you ruin papas dream!" The girl shouted."Papa?" Paige questioned."Dream?" 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?" He questioned, towering over the little girl.The little girl gulped nervously."E-easy way..." She mumbled."Great choice!"

He cried out.Before he could spring into action, however, Kacie landed a hard kick to the guard's chest."Where the hell did you learn how to do that?!" Alastair cried out in awe."I took some classes way back in the day!" Kacie beamed."K-Kacie, thank you...!" Kiernan stammered."Don't just stand there, Kiernan; try to make a run for it!"

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. "Come on!" Alastair shouted, grabbing a sobbing Aya by the wrist as the two ran hurriedly down the hallway. "Excuse me, please, no running!" A nurse cried out. "Shut it!" Alastair screamed.
