 When Jaydn called, Kyrin spoke to him in English; She had no intention of being rude to the majority of the people standing in front of her. When he mentioned the fact that she was supposed to show Jun to his room, she scowled inwardly; the man’s advances were not welcome at the moment, especially not when she should still be cozy in bed. Hanging up, Kyrin turned to the group, and spoke to Molly and Miles. ”Molly, Jaydn asks that you are present in his office so the two of you can get acquainted and,” She turned to Miles, ”That you escort her there.”
After that she turned to Jun and said pleasantly, ”I am going to show you to your quarters." Kyrin said goodbye to Miles and Molly before leading the way to the elevator again. Typing in the code that would allow them to enter the 16th floor, Kyrin didn’t bother to make small talk. This is totally ridiculous. I had the whole day planned and this was definately not part of it. I am not a ******** babysitter. She glared at Jun behind masked eyes, not giving away her anger in the least. Thinking over the floor layout, Kyrin figured out the farthest room away from hers and the closest to Jaydn’s to place Jun. Opening the door to the empty room Kyrin pointed to the key on the dresser and said, ”That’s your key, keep it on you.” Excusing herself for a moment, Kyrin set out to find someone else to watch Jun. Dialing Charles, she had a short conversation, which ended in him agreeing to take a break from his work to aid her in what she was doing. He did inquire to why she was up so early, but when she simply sighed, he dropped it with a laugh. He would be there in a few minutes. When she hung up, she turned back to Jun and apologized, and then asked, ”You are free to make yourself comfortable, Jaydn will be wanting you in not too long.”

A large smile spread across Xavier’s face when Eleck welcomed him by keeping his headphones off. Xavier looked over Eleck’s suit and wrinkled his nose, “And it smells.” He said this with a laugh. He was happy that Eleck was in a joking mood, it made life all the better. Xavier’s day was going phenomenally well from the moment he woke up and he didn’t expect the fun to be ending any time soon.”Yeah… I don’t think he would like it at all.” He turned to Felix, ”You are mean to make him wear something like that. It looks horrible. You should have got him something like mine.” Xavier’s voice was all joking. He knew that if Felix had her choice, Eleck would never go out looking like he did, and definitely not smelling like he did. When Felix wrapped her arms around him, Xavier hugged her back.
After the happy greetings, Xavier watched his brother panic over Felix’s words. As Maddox left, Xavier came to the sudden realization that it would probably end up being a huge thing if Maddox were to indeed reach Jaydn. And I don’t feel like my jaw hurting today. He thought, rubbing the jaw that his brother normally hit. ”Maddox!” He called after him, ”It’s a joke!” He began to laugh, and hard. He felt bad about ruining their master plan, but as Jaydn had new members in the building, it wouldn’t be right to scare him and then let him know it was just a gag. It would have him lose respect in the eyes of Molly and Jun, and Xavier wasn’t that vicious.

Silently thanking god for small favors, Jun followed Ky to his room. Checking out the impressive rooms, Jun poked around while Ky used her phone. Rooms always seemed very creepy when they were empty or unoccupied. "I'm sure I could be more comfortable in your room." Jun said in response to Ky."Where is your room by the way? Close I hope." Jun threw himself onto the bed looking at Ky and giving her the sliest smile he had. She had not seemed put off by his forward comments so far, but they had been in company, now he would see what she thought of him.

 Miles nodded to Kyrin's message and watched her walk away towards the elevator with Jun. So... they were finally free of this tour? Thank God. Although the fact that they were on the training floor meant that it had been practically over all ready. Impeccable timing. Once Kyrin and Jun had disappeared behind their elevator doors, Miles followed suit with a "Shall we?" in Molly's direction. He as somewhat fond of her professionalism.
He walked with her towards the elevators as well, as another set was open, entered, pressing the button for respective floor that they had all been on earlier to see Jaydn. Miles was itching to fire up another cigarette, but refrained from doing so. He found this as an opportunity to strike up some small talk instead.
"I'm sure Jaydn has much to talk with you about." He said casually, taking off his glasses to clean them. His eyes always appeared considerably darker with them off. "We've been in need of someone with your expertise for a while. I dabbled in law myself a ways back, although it's always changing. " He added, putting his glasses back on. "Your experience will be an asset to the group, but I'm sure we'll also be a surprising handful in return." He was being modest and complimentary of Jaydn's mafia at the same time. His hand in his jacket pocket was twirling his lighter absent-mindedly.

 Molly became excited when Ky informed her of her interview, and was even more elated to learn she would get a few moments alone with Miles. Taking to Miles lead, Molly entered their elevator and gave Miles a very warm smile. "What do you mean by dabbled? Did you have any formal education in the law, or was it more of an independent study?" Her mind still being on record, Molly took note of everything Miles said. Any information could be useful later. "I really do hope I can be as useful as you say Miles, I would ever so hate to be dead weight. I sure hope I can manage to take care of all of you" Molly looked a bit shy at the last. I just hope you all have enough work to keep me busy until lunch. Giving Miles another warm smile Molly unconsciously straightened her suit and touched up her hair.

Felix folded her arms in a disgruntled pout."Thanks a lot," she grumbled bitterly. It was her first day back with her family, and Xavier had just spoiled the most brilliant plan she had come up with in the past five minutes. Unlike her cousin, Felix didn't have to worry about any angry fists flying at her glass jaw. This was most likely the reason why Felix could afford to be so uninhibited when it came to wreaking havoc on the Matsui family.
Or perhaps just Jaydn and Maddox in particular.
In fact, Felix secretly wished Jaydn would try to hit her. Just once.
The man always tried to act so stoic and collected whenever she was around. Although her cousins swear Jaydn has a temper, Felix had never actually witnessed it for herself. Whenever she looked at Jaydn, all Felix saw was a pissy, tight a**, who was obsessed with maintaining control over everything and everyone.
This irked Felix beyond belief.
Now, in some strange, sick way, Felix has made it her goal in life to draw some kind of emotion out of Jaydn. An ideal success would result in her cousin rocking back and forth in a fetal position, crying his eyes out..., but for the moment Felix would settle for a slap and/or punch across the face. If one of her pranks made her cousin angry enough to strike her, Felix would be more than willing to take the hit. At least then, she would know that Jaydn was capable of some form of emotion.
That, and if Jaydn ever hit her, she would have the perfect opportunity to torture the poor man even more.
The possibilities would be endless..., Felix thought to herself, chewing absentmindedly on her thumbnail.
A-and no one would question my actions because Jaydn will have transformed into a monstrous cousin beater...
Oh yes.
This plan was golden.
"You mean, Uncle Han's not coming?"Eleck said, mildly amused at Xavier's doubled over form."Oh, too bad. You're friend was really freaking out for a moment there...I was excited to see how it was all going to play out."
As usual, Eleck's tone was very calm and sarcastic, revealing very little of the "excitement" he recently expressed. Fingering his headphones, Eleck fought the urge to put the device back on his ears."And I don't think my suit smells at all,"he said, shoving his hands back into his oversize pockets, only to increase the volume of his music. In this way, he could still talk to his friend without feeling completely agitated."The man I purchased this from said it was washed at least a month ago. Homeless people are quite sanitary, you know...,"
A quick glance in his girlfriend's direction let Eleck know that Felix was lost in her thoughts of destruction and mayhem again. Eleck's mouth twitched into a small smile, as he side stepped closer to Xavier in order to point Felix's strange actions out. The fact that his friend was getting a healthier whif of cigarettes and alcohol shiek was only a bonus."What do you suppose she's thinking about?"he whispered, watching his girlfriend giggle to herself.

An early morrin’ start, I hope this is going to pay off. According to the records he has been unemployed for a month. So I hope I will catch him at home, alone and unaware. Robert stopped the car outside the lake tree apartment complex. Even in the day time this is a tough neighborhood. Most of the beat cops have given up on this part of town. Though if you wanted to know something chances are high one of these dirt bags knows it. He exited the car and walked across the street his foot steps heavy on the pavement. People on the street stopped and stared, darting their eyes away when Robert looked up. I wonder if this is what third world countries are like? Rats brave enough to stand and look at you in broad day light, the smell of whisky and piss every where. Locals afraid of every stranger they see. Wait … get your head in the game Robert. He walked up to apartment 43 a third floor hole in the wall. His strong knock echoed down the hall. A Latino man eyes red and blood shot opened the door his only garments were a wife beater and boxers. The reek of alcohol and sexual lubricants seeped from the inside. “Jose Martinez I need to ask you a few questions” Robert said holding a badge up. “******** off I don’t talk to pigs.” Almost like a timed dance Jose began to slam the door and Robert kicked it in. Had Robert been after his life, Jose would have been a helpless as a babe. Before the 160 pound Latino man could react he was on his belly handcuffed. “What a s**t hole you’ve got here. Man what is that charming smell is it hookers and booze? Why yes I think it is. “ “What do you want?” “But you don’t talk to cops.” Robert picked up Jose and threw him into a chair. “Hey I have rights!” . “Oh, so a s**t bag like you has rights now? I see well I am sorry princess I will try to be more gentle next time. I didn’t know I was popin’ your cherry.” The smile that drifted across Roberts face could have freighted even the hardest of death row inmates. Robert walked over and shut the front door that was partially off one hinge. “Ok, so I know you’re not a big dog but you buy drugs from someone. What’s his name?” . “I ain’t no snitch homles I aint goin’ rat out no one. Beat it pig!” Robert reached into his pocket grabbed an ounce sized bag of white powder. “You see this? You know what this is? No, you’re wrong it is a one way ticket for s**t heads like you to jail for 15 to 25 years. Possession of an illegal substance is bad Jose don’t add withholding information from a cop to the list of charges.” “That ain’t mine dog. ******** you! You can’t get away with this s**t I will …” “You will what ... call the police?” Robert could barely hold back a laugh with that comment. “So help me when I get out of here I will kill you and your mother!” Robert’s smile faded and Jose instantly knew that was the wrong thing to say. Robert drew his pistol from his side holster and with one fluid movement slammed it into the side of Jose jaw. Blood ran out from Jose mouth at he spat a broken tooth on the ground. “How did you get the broken jaw holmes?” “You hit me!” Blood spat from his mouth as he tried to talk. Robert’s volume and anger increased. “One more time! How did you get the broken jaw?” “You hit me you ********’ piece of shi…” Before the word could escape his mouth Robert shoved the gun into his mouth. There was just something so satisfying about the sound teeth scraping steel like a pleasant symphony to Robert’s ears. Jose began to gag making retching noises as if he was going to hurl. In a real quiet a tone Robert spoke “Listen, and listen good. You puke on my gun and you will clean it before I kill you. You understand …holmes?” Jose eyes were wide as saucers and tears began to flow down his face and mixed with the blood. Robert moved his gun up and down in his mouth making Jose’s head nod the answer to the question. “You see… you are a number. Part of a growing number, a statistic if you will of s**t holes that the average law following person would love to see rot in a grave. Though they themselves are too afraid to put a bullet in you, they would definitely applaud any man that did … a man just like me. You see if I put a bullet in your head no ones going to ask any question see, because deep down they feel you are better off dead. You’re a cancer I’m a scalpel. So you see, should your body turns up, I say I defended my self, I call it justifiable homicide in the line of duty. They give me two week off work with pay for the stress of having used my gun and there is one less drug peddler in town the streets are a little safer. You see you little s**t you are just a number you have no heart no soul you’re just a line of digits.” Robert cocked the gun. The smell of piss began to fill the room over powering the sent of cheap booze. “Now I am going to count to ten and remove the gun you are going to give me a name and where he can be found. You withhold any info about any of your holmes or don’t answer a question I ask… you will be a number in a different statistic, the number of people whom died to day. Remember to me you’re just a number, the great thing about numbers there is always another one. You understand?” Again he shook the gun moving Jose head up and down.
Ten minutes latter Robert entered his car threw the ounce size bag of powder chalk on the passenger’s seat and drove off. He had a name... likely another small timer but he hoped this train would lead him to where he was going. As he stared at the city as he drove past city blocks he could feel something. The criminals in town were acting odd like as if some big new player had entered the game. Robert had one other lead and this one wasn’t going to require a gun, as much as a suit and manners.

Ky resisted the urge to raise an eyebrow at him, He isn’t going to give this up easily. Kyrin thought with irritation. But, as her father had taught her, she needed to be pleasant. At least, she needed to be pleasant until she figured out his use, and then she could act however she wanted. Once she knew if he could be used and manipulated, then she could act as she saw fit. Hopefully that’s soon. Smiling pleasantly she replied,“My room is just down the way.” She waved vaguely as she waited, impatient for Charles, Where is he?”
As if on cue, the big man showed up in the doorway, ”Good morning Miss Kyrin.” He smiled, amused at Ky, his voice was friendly. Seeing Jun, he looked curious. Since the room looked unused still, Charles made his way in and held out a hand to Jun, ”My name is Charles Sweetland. it’s a pleasure.” The Asian man was quite a bit smaller then Charles, but Charles wasn’t being the least bit intimidating, careful to show that he was no threat.

Miles gave a smile back to return hers, an eyebrow twitching beneath his hair. He really hoped she had a different personality in court. There was nothing wrong with being a pleasant person, but when it came to law, a ruthless attitude was a basic requirment. This was only a first impression however...
"I was in law school for two years before joining alongside Jaydn. " He calmly stepped out of the elevator doors as they opened, shoes echoing softly in the tiled hallway. " The only problem was that I was looking for loopholes, rather than ways to help clients." He smirked a bit, but only to himself. They were at Jaydn's door now. He knocked twice before turning the handle of door and holding it open for her.

"Well the Law business has its fair share of loop holes, that is for sure." Molly followed Miles out of the elevator, reflecting quietly back on all of the loop holes she had manipulated in her time at court. "I'm glad to have found someone with a common interest so soon Miles. Maybe we should do dinner sometime, we can trade Law school stories." Projecting her "pleasant" smile again, Molly waited while Miles rapped on the door of the office she could only assume belonged to Jaydn. I hope he is in a better mood than he was earlier. Thanking Miles for his courteous gesture, Molly entered the room thinking, now just to decided, innocent or hard a** business woman.

"Jun'ichi Kato" Jun replied, shaking the kindly gentlemen's hand. Then added, "It isa Pleas-sure as well", in his mildly broken English, watching Ky's reaction intently. Jun was prepared to either laugh uproarious, if she reacted as he would expect Xavier to, or run for his life if she reacted as her mood inclined she might. Maintaining his grip with Mr. Charles' hand, Jun hoped the big man might protect him if Kyrin had the temper he expected from her. And just as was finishing his sentence in English, and before Ky could respond, his mind gave birth to the thought of Kyrin crying, which gave his stomach a twist and he almost reagreted this small prank.

The way that Charles said hello to her made her think that he was slightly amused by the fact that she was no longer under her warm covers at the moment. He does think its funny. She concluded, taking a look at the smile he gave her before he moved on to Jun. Her eyes followed him as she resisted the immediate urge to glare viciously at Charles. Her current mood would have permitted the glare if it hadn’t been for Jun’s words. When Jun opened his mouth, Kyrin realized that she had called Charles and that it was probably a mistake considering Jun was Japanese and spoke…English? Kyrin went through a flurry of emotions in a mere second at the realization that she had been translating for a man who could already understand. The glare that Kyrin had reserved ready for Charles was now turned on Jun, and her glacier eyes were narrowed dangerously. ”How much English do you know?” Was the most civil thing she could manage.
Charles smiled at Jun’s broken English and realized that it was even more broken then Xavier’s or Maddox’s. Both men had heavy accents but their way around the English language was nothing to scoff at. ”Its nice to meet you Mr. Kato.” At the moment that the words Kyrin spoke left her mouth, Charles realized that the man’s long hand shake seemed more like a plea. He shook off the feeling though, thinking that perhaps it was custom to shake hands for so long. With a curious expression, Charles turned to Ky and wondered aloud, ”Perhaps you had everything under control already?” Kyrin shot him a look that bid him to leave and see what happened and Charles kept himself firmly in place a smile playing across his lips.

 At the sound of his brother's laughter, Maddox paused mid-step. Lowering his cellphone from his ear, thumb still hovering over the 'call' button, he turned back to face the group he had abruptly left behind. He still appeared bewildered by the whole experience as he asked, "A joke?" He looked back between Xavier's amused expression and Felix's pout before giving something of a sigh and placing his phone away. Relief flooded his mind as Maddox made his way back to the three in the hall, attempting to find the fun of the situation as his two relatives had. Pulling a unsteady smile on his face and a shaky laugh, Maddox commented softly, "That... was a good one. You really had me there." He wondered why he hadn't seen it coming. Of course this was the typical behavior of the both of them, the naturally fun-loving and reckless pair that they were. But.. it was funny... sort of.
Now with the immediate danger diffused, Maddox gave a glance toward the kitchen and offered to Felix and her friend, "Would you like to join us for breakfast, Felix, Eleck? We can catch up and become acquainted with one another?" No harm had been done with the prank, it was simply enough for Maddox to not hold it against any of them.

Felix bit her lip to keep from laughing out loud. Having been gone for so long, she had completely forgotten how ridiculously polite her cousin was."Sure,"she grinned, making a mental note to rip into Maddox's royal mannerisms another time. She took a few steps towards the door Maddox had come out of earlier,"In here?"she asked, more to herself than to her cousin, as she soon disappeared through the doorway.
Eleck shuffled back and forth a bit, only to reposition himself into his usual slump. Now that the "Uncle Han" joke was over, he was starting to develop the tell-tale signs of complete and utter boredom. His fingers itched with the growing urge to put on his green headset. It would only be a matter of time before a large rash started to form.
His eyes widened a bit at the extremity of Maddox's politeness."Wow,"Eleck said, wandering after Felix at a very slow pace. As he passed Maddox, Eleck mimed as if he were sipping a cup of tea,"Pinkys up,"he said softly, in an awful posh accent.

Xavier stopped laughing to glance at Eleck with a slightly disgusted look on his face. At least a month ago? Washed a month ago!? And he's wearing it? He gave Eleck a look and muttered,"We'll get you some better clothes El. Something clean..." Xavier shook his head when Felix started cackling to herself but didn't answer Eleck as Maddox finally realized that they were pulling a fast one on him.
Watching his brother with a careful expression, Xavier found himself slightly disappointed that Maddox was trying to play off his gullibility. He's such a... But he couldn't think of the word. This is why Jaydn is much more fun to trick. Having realized that the joke was dead, Xavier's mind was already thinking of another. Brilliant! He thought as his mind settled on something he decided was beyond awesome. As Felix walked away from them, Xavier plastered a loving smile on his face and walked over to Eleck.
Catching up to Eleck and laughing lightly at the joke he had told, Xavier intertwined his hand with Eleck's. "Oh, I missed your joking El! Its been too long." Then he looked behind him and gave Maddox a look that said he knew more then he let on, one he knew would confuse Maddox, before he flashed another smile to Eleck.
