Sheo snorted, before slamming on the brakes. Too bad for anyone without a safety belt.
"You, good sir," Sheo replied, turning in her seat to face Aurelio, "are not safe."
Her voice was perfectly calm, not threatening or dangerous-sounding in the least.
"I'm about to kill you myself, unless you tell me why you fell for that trap. You did mention an 'underground mansion' like you thought it was real. Yes, I'm perfectly aware of what happens to Kate. She just doesn't always know what I do. Like this car; she's gonna be so pissed I wouldn't doubt that she'd tear your head off. Well?"

Aurelio thought for a moment.
"God damn it! I thought my attempt at shutting down that construction contract worked!"
Aurelio turned to Sheo.
"Let's just say, I hate underground mining contracts now."
After a short silence, Aurelio tried some conversation.
"So.... Are you schitzophrenic?"

Sheo just gave Aurelio an 'are you crazy?' stare. Then she started to backhand him, but stopped with her hand inches away from his face.
"You know what," she commented, twisting back around to be able to drive again, "it's not even worth it. Kate'll grind your nether parts into dust, and that'll be good enough for me."
She floored the gas pedal, causing the idling engine to roar to life. "So," Sheo yelled over the engine, to the passengers behind her, "where is this Japanese homo-hangout you speak of?"

Aurelio glared.
"I'll have you know that I have several friends in the yakuza, all of whom do not obey the sword ban, and one of whom is the head of a japanese corporation."

Sheo shrugged, which Aurelio wouldn't be able to see well from behind her. "I have no idea what the yakuza are, I'm afraid, but they sound like a bunch of panty-wimps," she then replied.
In reality, no ordinary man was strong or powerful enough to defeat Sheo. But, also in reality, no gang member of any kind fought alone when they could have backup comprising of thirty men, either. Sheo knew none of this.
"Are we going or not?" Sheo asked impatiently, cutting Aurelio off before he could reply about the yakuza. "I'm sure your little Japanese friends are fine and great, but I honestly don't care. If they help us, then that's all the better!"
Then, something else occurred to Sheo. She slowed the car down, turning again to face Aurelio. "Since there seems to be no way to convert Zero," she figured, "we should probably kill him now. We can do that, right, A.?"

Aurelio nodded.
"We could, or I could wipe his memory and reprogram him from scratch. And, by the way, the yakuza is the japanese mafia. Imagine Scarface with a sword and a countryside mansion. And, we can only contact them if I can get internet access, which, considering our current situation, may be a bit difficult. Of course, we could escape the city and make a quick trip to Japan. As long as I stay away from Akihabara, I'll be fine."

Sheo shrugged, turned back around, and continued driving. After a few minutes, she replied, "No. I'm not schizophrenic."
Then she carelessly tossed an iPhone at Aurelio. "That has all the internet access you could want. Go crazy - but," she added, "that's Kate's. Not mine. Break it and she won't just sterilize you, she'll forcibly submit you to gender-change surgery."

Aurelio looked at it, looked back at Sheo, looked back at the iPhone, and back at Sheo.
"Would 'breaking it' include temporarily changing the default language to japanese? Yakuzajin consider it an insult to not converse in japanese."
(Yakuzajin- Maybe I just made it up, but if I'm right, it should mean 'yakuza person.')

Sheo shrugged once again, swerving to avoid an elderly grandmother she had purposely almost run over. Stupid old folk should stay out of the road, was her motto.
"Change it back, I guess, before you give it back. I'll look forward to calling you 'sis,' though, if you do break it. SHUT THE F*CK UP YOU STUPID MO-FO!"
This last comment was aimed at an eleven-year-old boy who had given her the finger as she passed.

"Can do, your bitchiness."
Aurelio began typing.
<"Daisuke-san, It's Aurelio. I need help.">
<"Why, what's wrong?">
<"It's a long story, but I either need a safe place to stay, or a small army.">
(Got to go to bed.)

Wordlessly, Sheo reached down and pressed a button on the side of her seat, causing it to slide back straight into Aurelio's knees. Then Sheo released the button, locking the chair in place, before leaning forward to she could still reach the steering wheel.
"I'd rather kill Zero, if you don't mind." Sheo commented. Like Aurelio could stop her, either.

(btw, Travis did actually reprogram Zero to have a free-will and emotions and all that... what better way to get people to trust you than to help them?)

Daisuke, after getting the message from his american friend Aurelio, conversed with his father. He decided he needed to place his request in the form of a business request.
After gaining his approval, Daisuke contacted Aurelio.
""Aurelio read Daisuke's message.
""
Aurelio turned to Sheo, returned the phone, and said to Sheo, "Backup will be here in a matter of days."
Then, to himself, less confidently, he added, "If we live that long."

Sheo laughed defiantly. "I could survive a nuclear Armageddon!
Then, to herself, less confidently, she added, "If the winter cold doesn't send me packing first."
Sheo swerved suddenly, trying again to avoid hitting... air? Why was she swerving for no reason?
Again, they swerved into another lane. But there was no traffic. Again, swerve. Again, swerve.
"So, uh, where am I going?" Sheo asked casually.

Aurelio smiled.
"We're going to a computer store. I have quite a bit of money saved up, and I'm going to buy parts."
