Welcome to Gaia! ::

Joker nodded but held up one finger. "If you don't mind, do you have any water? I'm really parched and...." He twitched. "I've been running alot and I didn't get a chance to ask before everyone came." He said with an apologetic smile. Hans nodded too. Kyoshi rolled his eyes at both Dusk and Kyin's responses but looked at Joker. "Can I come?" Joker shot him a pointed look. "No. If...Something happens to Gambler, your in charge of us. You were third in command and you will always have that spot on less you want someone else to take it. We need you here if we mess up." Kyoshi grumbled about how lame that sounded but nodded with a grunt.

Monty didn't look behind him as he was nearing the end of the hallway but he did slow down. Gambler kept looking back from where she left Ivan who pointed the gun at Marn's head to keep her still.

Joker and Hans followed with relief on their expression. They took the water and drank it greedily, thanking Kyin for it. "It was...." Joker shook his head. Hans on the other hand, rubbed his chest but put the glass down and looked at the elf. "It was a true horror to look there. The instruments were terrible and something I have never seen before." He explained about the weapons room that they found and how the knives were in this thing that had them shooting out automatically. He also mentioned how Gambler's team hadn't called or anything and assumed that they got the correct hallway. They would have gone after them but they didn't want to be caught all at once. Joker nodded. "May I have some more?" He twitched.

Monty and Gambler stood like about six feet away from the door. Gambler poked Monty on the side with the barrel of her gun. "Open it." Monty growled lowly at her. "You open it you damned heathen." "But what if the boogey man comes out to eat me?" "Then shoot him in the face." She looked at the gun and nodded. "Sure thing but your the man. Do your job to protect the woman so that I may have an opening to shoot." Monty sighed and walked cautiously towards the door, looking around for anymore traps and such.

Kyoshi sighed. "And what good am I as leader without people to work for me?" He said but hugged Dusk anyways. It was comforting to have her next to him. "My sort of boss won't do anything foolish in this. So she will be back. If not....Then I'm going to bring her back from the dead to kill her again for not giving me a raise."

Kyoshi flinched and rubbed his head. "That old hag as never been nice. And if she has then tell me when?" He said, pouting at Dusk.

Hans and Joker nodded but shrugged. "I've seen some pretty gruesome stuff back in the day and in the city. Which is why we limit the kinds of jobs that involve madmen like Lucien to Gambler, me and Monty. Everyone else is never allowed those jobs. Thankfully, we haven't had one that we hear of in the city." He said, drinking his water.

Monty was surprised but slightly relieved to see Eldin. He looked the boy over and shook his head, muttering curses and got him up, pulling him around him. Gambler was surprised to and hugged him tightly. "Oh God Eldin! I'm so glad." She looked at him, cupping his cheek. "He didn't do anything else right? It wasn't that long that he hurt you right? Have you seen Kalore? Do you have any idea of where he might be?" She hugged him again, feeling a weight lift off her shoulders. But she wasn't letting her guard down and had to continue her job. She didn't want to take Eldin back in there. "Ivan is down the hall with some chick. I don't want you to go back in there so, go with Ivan and he'll take you out of this place, okay? Go straight to Lord Kyin's home."

Kyoshi listened to Dusk and was starting to nod. Then he was remembering all the other times that they had each others back. "She's still mean." He grumbled but their was this faint light of amusement about his fellow seraph.

Gambler nodded and urged him to go down the part of the hallway that Ivan was holding Marn at gun point. Ivan looked up with relief at the man he came to call brother. Gambler and Monty looked at each other and turned fully to the place Eldin came from and ran through that door to go and get Kalore.

Joker and Hans finished and was taking a quick breather. "Forgive us Lord Kyin. It's tiring to go to and from but we'll go right now." He said, slowly walking out the muscle cramps towards the exit.

Kyoshi nodded and then went to his chair. He leaned on his knees and looked down at the ground, his mind blank. It was a good thing because he could think better but now that his mind was blank he was in a mood for a smoke. He wanted that vanilla taste but no one here liked that. He was going to have to get on the patch or the nicotin gums. "Damnit." He hated not doing anything. He was a damn hitman. He didn't just stay still for this long, on less it was a break.

Ivan's eyes went wide and he stepped away from Marn's body and Eldin. He was standing still and looked pasted him at where his boss and Monty left. He looked at Eldin cautiously and walked slowly towards there. "I'm glad your back Eldin but....We have to go." He wasn't going to the way they came but towards the place the other two left. He was....worried. Not for the others but for himself. It was so unlike Eldin to do something like this. It unnerved him.

Gambler and Monty picked up the pace, not hearing anything behind them but focusing in front of them. They saw a door in front of them and went busting through it like a SWAT team....Of just two. There both came to a stop, not noticing anything but Kalore chained to the wall. "Kalore!!!" They both shouted as both comrades eyes' went wide and took only a few hurried steps towards him when a wild whirlwind surround them. Monty and Gambler braced themselves against the ground and stood close. Gambler gripped her gun and stared at Kalore. Anxious to get to the blonde elf.

Gambler looked at Lucien with loathing that she has never felt for anyone in a long time, and they didn't know each other personally. So, that was saying something. This wasn't supposed to be her business but she has so much care and love for these elves that she's met through Kyoshi that it was hard not to offer her help. "You look....Normal. I thought you were going to look like a zombie. It's a shame we can't smash your brain in." She said sarcastically. "Then again, I rather shot it out of you."

Monty growled lowly at Lucien. So this was the man that everyone had a problem with and who caused so much trouble for everyone. The demon turned to look at the elf. "You will release this elf and let us leave unharmed or you will wish you were still dead." 'Because you have a date with the devil himself that I will personally set up.' He thought.

Gambler nodded. "I would listen to my demon. He's got this really bad temper and has a habit of being super loud. I hope your ears can handle that." She said, eyeing Lucien with caution and gripping her gun tightly.

Ivan nodded and stood next to Eldin, grabbing his arm and giving his last fleating glance over his shoulder at the now empty hallway and the body of Marn. He was only holding her hostage and was going to set her free outside. They never meant to harm her anymore than what happened between the two females. "Let us go Eldin. But we must be careful. The traps are tricky." He said, quietly, looking ahead of them.

Joker and Hans were walking back towards where the others were because they weren't going to rush in and ruin the hold up. They were going to be on stand by. Then again, Hans had felt this slight pain in his back but it was slowly going away but he was..anxious about something. Joker shook his head. He knew that if Gambler was in trouble, someone was going to send a text.

Ivan was impressed that they got out without a scratch and took the lead of getting them out of the place undetected and walking with a great rush. Hans and Joker were coming in closely and spotted them. Ivan pointed his gun but was relieved that it was his group. Both brothers hugged and were quiet. Hans smiled at Eldin. "I'm so glad you are okay, brother." He said, clasping a meaningful hand on his shoulder. Joker hugged Eldin. "We are so glad that you are okay. You aren't hurt anywhere right? What about Kalore? Did you see Gambler and Monty? Are they okay?" He asked, changing course and taking Eldin by his arm and leading him back to Lord Kyin's tower. It was better to give Eldin full security incase they were going to be ambushed. They did not want Eldin to be taken away.

Gambler muttered something to Monty to look at Kalore in their language. She rested her gaze to the psycho named Lucien. "You want to talk? Then let's talk. I did find Eldin and I let him go. Sucks that you didn't get to finish talking to him because you won't have another chance of doing it. Now, do what I say and no one gets hurt. You don't like it then, it sucks to be you for pissing off the wrong person." She said, crossing her arms and leaning against the rock the was named Monty.

Gambler nodded slowly. She got out her phone and speed dialed Kyoshi. Kyoshi jumped at the ring of his phone and he was relieved to hear it was Gambler but she didn't greet him with good news but muttered in their language about all that was being said about Ziggy, Eldin and Kalore. Kyoshi paled and growled lowly. He nodded and hung up. Gambler put away the phone away and just looked at Lucien. "You know. I would really like to hurt you but see, I need to get Kalore back home so his buddies can take really good care of him." Gambler was going take Kalore well the hell away from this guy and hide him.

Monty was tense as hell and ready to just rip Kalore from the wall and just barrel out of there with Gambler thrown over his shoulder. That would have been something else because they had the traps. Then again, he was fast so it would have been easy with those two with him. He and Gambler took a few steps closer to Kalore but not anywhere close enough near the whirlwind. "I said, release him at once elf. Or I'll make an orniment out of your ears." The demon growled.

Kyoshi stood up but before he could go to Kyin and Dusk and tell them what Gambler said the door was knocked on and Joker answered. He walked over, opening it with a surprise. Joker lead Eldin and sat him down in Kyoshi's seat. The Twins came in after them but Ivan had this look that made Kyoshi curious. The Twins went to the corner and were talking amongst themselves in their language in hush tones. Kyoshi smiled at Eldin. "Good to see you alive kid. Hopefully we get the blonde one back and everything will be okay again." He went into the kitchen where Kyin and Dusk were, telling them that Eldin is back and alive.
