Leo felt really defeated with that answer, he wished he knew what was going to happen to him next or that he could at least talk to Asher one more time. "Please let me go.....I promise I won't press charges just leave me alone." he whispered softly, hanging his head in defeat.Elsa shrugged her shoulders. "I'm not sure but maybe you can make out the chicken scratch he wrote. I think he might have written that way to purposefully conceal his plans. Or maybe it's a different code altogether that only the gang knows. I'm not sure. But it might be wise to take it to a linguist or something." She said softly, sitting in his office chair. "Daniel I have a feeling that no matter how much you research the gang...I don't think you'll find anything. We should be outside and questioning people. I could go with Asher, Chase, Cherry and Sasha. Rin could stay here with you so she can use her abilities to check up on Leo."Rin gave a soft sigh and rubbed Asher's back soothingly. "I'm not sure why this happened Asher....but I'm sure it was for a very good reason. Nothing is done without a reason." she said softly, though she knew that wasn't very convincing. She continued to sit with him though.

"I can't do that," Raki said, sort of annoyed. "I went through all that trouble to get you here, and you expect me to let you go just like that? That's sort of dumb thinking." He wondered when the gang was going to move. He would expect it to be soon. "Stop looking like a kicked puppy. That won't work here. I've seen so many who tried that."Daniel knew researching alone could do nothing, but it was really all he could do for now. Elsa was right, though. They needed to get clues from witnesses. "Alright, go out and see if you find anything. Be sure to let Rin know if any of you find anything suspicious," he said before trying to examine the paper again. "I still can't imagine why Raki would do this. Have I perhaps been a terrible grandfather to him?"Samuel, who had been standing outside Old Damican's office for a while, decided he should try his hand at contributing to the effort. "Sir, if you don't mind, might I take a look at those notes?" he asked as he entered the room. Taking the notebook, he examined the paper closely. "It might be a stretch, but I think Raki might have wanted us to know about this Operation: Parasite, just not how it works. That may be why it's the only thing written clearly. I can barely make out a few apologies here, though."For a moment, Asher wondered if it had been his fault. Would there be any difference if only he paid more attention to his brother? No, that made no sense. Raki could not have formed such a grudge that quickly. Or could he? "Rin, I know it's an odd time to ask, but what was Raki like before we came here? Did he always made immediate grudges or something?" he asked. "I mean, the only thing I could think of that might cause him to do this would be if he really hated Leo or something, but they've only known each other for a few days and I highly doubt Leo did anything wrong. Well, he did slap him, but he had a reason for it!" Maybe Raki had been jealous? It did seem odd that he had been clingy one day and then suddenly got along with Leo the next day.(Detective Samuel!)

Leo clenched his teeth at Raki and felt like he could punch the boy. "I won't give you what you want. I don't care if you move us to the Grand Canyon, I will never help you!! Asher and the rest of the gang are going to find me." he growled, continuing to draw more blood with the handcuffs. If they wouldn't let him leave willingly then maybe they would take him to the hospital and possibly be able to escape. Rin had to think about this for a minute or two, there was a bit of a difference in Raki's behavior between then and now. "He used to be a really big daredevil. The reason why he took on so many dangerous missions was because Daniel provided the best training for him. When Daniel told him about you he was particularly enthusiastic. But when Raki found out about Leo he looked like he was disappointed...almost jealous." she said softly, then something occurred to her. "Now that I think about it....thats roughly when he started to disappear."Elsa's heart skipped a beat, maybe there was still hope after all. "Keep working on his notes Chase. The more we know about this operation he's doing the closer we will be to finding him." she turned toward Daniel. "Should I head out with the rest of the gang?"

Raki could see a suspicious dribble of blood on Leo's wrists. "You're only hurting yourself. You won't get out of those," he said before he realized that had been his intention. "Sheesh, you're being so difficult. Stop that! How would Big Brother feel once he sees you?" He grabbed the captive's wrists and started to stuff cloth into the gaps to prevent the metal from cutting into the skin even more, then he tightened the cuffs to keep the insulation in place. "Whether you like it or not, you will cooperate. I know where Legion is. I can lead the entire Triforce gang there and not even our brother would be spared."Samuel couldn't stop the slight annoyance he had with being addressed the wrong name. "The name is Samuel," he said, though he probably should have refrained. These were stressful times. "Anyway, I'll see what Raki was trying to do. First, I need a bit of background. Was he neglected or abused at all while he was here? It might be a contribution to the betrayal."As if insulted, Daniel stood from his seat. "Abused? Neglected? It is not so!" he answered harshly. "I loved my grandson. I still love him! He lacked nothing." Seeing as he had overreacted, he sat back down and robbed his forehead. "My apologies. I just despise being accused of abuse.""Could it be possible he joined the gang because of Leo? That's too extreme!" Asher could feel anger boiling. All because of jealousy? "Raki probably has plans to kill him, then. We have to get.out there right now!" He stood and headed toward the door.

Leo cursed under his breath as Raki noticed he was hurting himself on purpose and put the cloth against the wounds as a barrier. "Just leave me alone...." he grumbled softly, wanting very much to stew in his own sadness and figure a way out of here.Elsa gave a soft sigh. "S-sorry...I didn't mean to mix up your name. I'm doing that a lot lately." she said softly, listening to the two of them bicker for a moment. She didn't blame Daniel for getting defensive but at the same time she didn't blame Sam for asking. "Is there anything else you can make out from his notes?"Rin jumped up and ran behind him. "Asher wait!! You should wait until the rest of us comes with you! It won't be any good if you're captured too!" she said in a haste but she doubted he would listen to her.

"As you wish," Raki said with a shrug before he headed to the door. Once he left the room, he headed to the meeting room where Orion and the others should be. It was time to collect a bit of information regarding their plans. He should probably bring up that they must hurry and leave. Legion would be on their tail soon.Samuel patiently waited for Daniel to finish his defense before he continued reading the paper. "Not much else. It will take time. A lot of this stuff consists of backwards letters, incomplete words, and words scrambled in different places of the page. I sorta wonder why he would write this all down and leave it here."Asher stopped just as his hand was on the doorknob. "They already have Leo. I highly doubt they would try to get me," he retorted before walking outside. He was going to check any and all warehouses nearby, even outside town. As long as he could look for Leo. A part of him wanted to find Raki as well, if only to question him.

Leo gave a soft sigh and laid down on the floor with a slight thud. He was lost, scared, and he didn't know what was going to happen next. He hoped his brother would find him soon.Elsa nodded but she was too fidgety to just sit still and wait around for Sam to translate the words in Raki's notes. As if in cue, Rin burst into the office a little out of breath to inform everyone that Asher had ran out to look for Leo. Elsa cursed and reloaded her gun with a fresh magazine. "Alright, I'm taking Chase and Cherry with me to catch up with Asher before he gets his a** kicked again." she grumbled softly, running downstairs to find the twins. "Chase, Cherry! Come on we gotta go back up Asher and find Leo!" she called from the front door.Aries looked over at Raki with a look of boredom as he cleaned his nails with his favorite knife. "You spent an awful long time with that kid. Sure hope your not having second thoughts about this whole thing." he said with a small laugh to indicate he was teasing.

Raki giggled a bit. "If I was having second thoughts, he would be out by now," he said before he took a seat next to Orion. "So, let's start talking about moving. They will be quick to track us down, so we must be quick." He had a feeling Asher and the others would get here tonight if not little after. "I propose we make preparations to go to another state.""Forest warehouse!" Chase and Cherry shouted at the same time, quickly joining Elsa. "We have an idea where it might be. It's certainly not close by." It had been a while since they had a prediction and they hoped it was right. "They might move. Raki knows about us, and he's a spy, so he might know what our plan is."

Aries shrugged. "Why not to another country altogether? It would be even more difficult for Legion to find us. We could use the boy longer and then when we're done, instead of just disposing of him, we could keep in and use him as we want. I mean....a boy with visions can be a lot more useful than what we're using him for." he smirked, giving a soft wink. "But it's up to you boss."Elsa grinned as the twins spoke and was glad to take them with her. "Lets find Asher first and then we'll figure out where the warehouse is!" she called as she started to run out of the alley, scanning faces of the passing civilians in search for Asher.

Orion considered both options, though he liked the thought of moving to another country. They just needed to get the money and perhaps Leo's cooperation. It wouldn't do to smuggle him out while he was unwilling. "Another country sounds like the better idea, I must say," he answered. "If there are any mind-readers in Legion, they can't contact our captive at such a distance. What country do you suppose we should go to?"Raki inwardly cursed, but figured this was a minor setback. Orion had no idea that Legion had someone who can see past events around objects. If the others bring Rin, they may be able to locate Leo and rescue him eventually. Things should still go according to plan.Asher returned to the park and tried to look for clues that could indicate that Raki and Leo were there. Some witnesses said they saw two boys go into some bushes earlier, and he did find signs of a struggle, but that was about it.Chase would have helped in trying to locate Asher, but his mind was flooding with a slideshow of pictures. Some depicted Raki crying, some had a miserable Leo, many had faces he didn't even know. The most confusing were the images in which Raki seemed to be full of remorse. "Elsa, what will we do with Raki once we catch him?"

Aries perked a little, it was rare that his brother sided with his suggestions. "I hear Mexico is fun. Tequila, the beach, girls. Plenty of opportunity to party and hide the boy." he said with a small smile, they had been to Mexico for vacation a few times but it would be a wicked party if they could live there. "If it were up to me Chase.....I'd torture him a little before disposing of him. But Daniel will probably just have him thrown in prison." she said between pants as she continued to run. Eventually they found the Thanksgiving festival and asked around for anyone who would listen. After a while they were lead to the park as well and found Asher there. "Did you find anything?" she asked with heavy breathing.

Orion liked that suggestion. It was near enough so they could still do some operations, but far enough so they wouldn't be caught easily. Aside from that, the police force there was weak. "That is a very good candidate. If Legion tries to get us, they will be on their own," he said and then turned to Scorpius. "Do you agree with Aries?"Asher had expected to be scolded by Elsa, but was relieved that she only questioned him. "Nothing. They're really careful about leaving practically nothing behind," he said before he leaned against a tree, feeling defeated. "I would check a warehouse, but I just realized my car is all the way at Ragnarok Hotel and I can't afford a taxi."

Scorpius looked at Orion and then at Aries, noticing all of the attention was on him now. He gave a soft nod to the question and continued to listen out for anything else that needed his vote. Aries smiled, he knew him and his brother had been having their issues regarding the boy to begin with but he knew Scorpius would come around. "It's settled I suppose. When do we make our move?" Elsa could have pounded the ground at Asher's answer, it seemed like they were getting nowhere fast. She took out her cell phone and called Daniel. "Apparently Raki and Leo came to the park nearby headquarters. The trail ends here though, there's no sign of them ever having been here but the twins think they know where they might be. We need a ride."

"We must.move tonight. Legion will be coming," Raki spoke up, receiving a nod of approval from Orion. "I'll go pack up." With that, he left the room toward where Leo was kept. Entering the room, he took Leo by the arm and forced him to stand up. "We're leaving soon. Get ready."Daniel received the phone call and the need for a ride. "Alright, I'll be there," he said and he went to Rin. "Rin, come with me. We may need your abilities." He set Legion on cloak and headed to his vehicle. It may be unwise to leave strangers in charge, but he had no choice. It seems he was the only one who could drive everyone to where Leo and Raki may be.

Leo jumped when he felt someone touch him, with the exhaustion and shock he was going through Leo had fallen asleep. It took him a few minutes to realize what Raki was telling him and then he started to panic again. Leo started to squirm and scream for help, there was no way he was going to go with them. "Please let me go! I'm begging you!!" he yelled loudly, trying to figure out where Raki was so he could get another shot at him.Rin hesitated for a minute, she knew she would have to look into the gang once they arrived at their destination and she was scared the same thing would happen again as with the wood piece from the arcade. "I'm coming!" she called, leaving Sasha and Sam here to defend Legion, she had confidence that they would protect her home. Rin hopped into the car with Daniel and waited rather impatiently to arrive. Elsa hung up the phone and sighed softly. "Daniel's coming with the car." she said softly, looking at the grass in front of her and seeing that there were signs of a struggle. "No drag marks....wherever Leo is, he's still conscious." She said softly, though at this point she wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing.
