"If you have to ask that, Then I don't know.” he said as he got tight-lipped and continued to drive. "In the console, there is a new phone for you. It already has Col. Oda's number as well as a few other contacts. You should shut your phone off here."
"Okay.” she shut the phone off and tossed it in the bag of stuff at her feet. "How long will this trip take?"
"A few hours.” He sa

The next was him making a list of food and supplies to get in town. He didn't know how long they would be holed up there, but he wanted to minimize the time they spent away from the house. The house he knew was the best at its own defense. In his last days, his father was beyond paranoid, and he made the entire home as a fortress and built-in safe rooms. He would show her those later.The cabin was a safe house that had been rebuilt during his father’s last few years. It had been a small three-bedroom cabin beforehand, which had only the basic amenities had been there. Mitsuhide had been surprised when he had visited after the cabin and land had become his after her father had died. One of the lawyers had to be there the first night to go over the entire building because of the upgrades and how to access them without setting off the alarms. It was then that Mitsuhide had finally realized how bad his father had become with his paranoia.Sarah was loo

"Don't you have to lock the door?” she asked."Self-locking,” he said as he smiled. "I told you this was my father's place.” He said as they took their seats, "What I didn't tell you in the last year of his life, he kinda went a little crazy. He was so sure either my mother or step-mother were trying to kill him. He made this place impossible to get in without the keycode or keys. Also safe rooms on each floor and a bunker underneath. It also has a grid that goes out about a half a mile completely surrounding it. No one can get close without alerting the person or people inside. I'll show you when we get back."

"I certainly hope so.” He said as he turned on the street, which led to the main road while driving. “It takes about fifteen minutes to get to the main road by driving though it never seems that long. All the roads on the mountain lead down to this road.” The town was small and all located on one main drag. He pointed out places to her as they drove past. As they entered the run-down parking lot of the town's grocery store, he got out, and as she did, he got Elodie out of the back. The toddler was more than happy to hang from his neck as he propped her up on his side."Mitsuhide Akechi? How the hell are you?” A guy walked up. She could see his eyes were two different colors, and he looked more apt to punch than to offer his hand. He was giving off the impression that he didn’t want people close to him as he looked over the couple and small child."Kenshin. Good to see you too,” he said, and he moved

"Who?” he looked at her seriously now."Biggs's daughter,” she said. "Both of her parents are gone. If his body wasn’t in the shed, his skin was in my house, so we know. Elodie said the woman in the shed was her mother. I didn’t see it before, but he always had this one face he made when he was not happy and didn’t get his way. She made the same face in the store.""Poor kid,” he said. "Hopefully, they set up something for her if something was to happen." He was shaking his head and looked at the small girl in the backseat of the car they were using. A little thing she had already gone through so much and not to be orphaned because of a crazy man set on revenge on the wrong people."They did. Me,” she said."What?” he asked."She was newborn. It was two years ago, and she was still in the hospital. They had me sign some papers, and we had them notarized, and I know he had one copy placed

Dinner was a subdued affair as they sat around the table, eating quietly and watching Elodie slurp up the noodles. The tiny girl's eyes started to droop, and they both got up at the same time to get her out of the chair she had been sitting in. "Mestwo?” she asked. "I SLeeppee.""Okay, Elodie.” He said as he picked her up. She looked at Sarah and grabbed at her hand to pull her along as well; it brought a smile to Sarah's face as she looked at the girl over Mitsuhide's shoulder. She was glad that the girl felt comfortable around them despite what had happened to her in the past few days. She had always heard that children were resilient but never understood until now what that really meant. She watched as he gently placed the girl down in the playpen and covered her up. Her eyes were half-closed already when he went over and turned off the light and left the door half-open. He took the Princess's hand to lead her away from the room and upstairs to wh

"Wha—," she found herself back in his arms being carried toward the back of the house. He kicked open a door on the opposite side of where Elodie was fast asleep. She looked about the room bathed in darkness as he placed her down on the bed. When he climbed in and stayed looming above her, she couldn't place the look in his eyes as anything but desire. They glowed in the darkness, much like an animal when the light hits them. His mouth took hers gently, but as the dam burst that he must have held back since the first time they met, she could feel everything he had built up. He cradled her head and then rolled her on top of him. Everything that he felt was shining in his eyes in the darkn

She awoke while it was still dark. She felt relaxed beyond anything she had ever dreamed of. A heavy arm was tossed over her side, and she quickly remembered why she was so deeply relaxed. His soft breathing behind her brought her back to reality from her dreams. As she turned slightly, she saw that he was also awake as she looked into his haunting eyes."Did I wake you?” he asked as he moved closer and nipped at her nose lightly. His arm still heavy on her side, tucked her closer to him as he rubbed her back gently. He had been enjoying just watching her as she slept so peacefully in that sated state."No.," she said. He rolled over on to his back, and she curled up next to his side. She felt it was her place to be there as he gently chuckled. He was also warm, and the air around them had chilled a bit."Then go back to sleep, Princess,” he said as he kissed her forehead."I don't think I can.” She said. Imagines of the pr

Two weeks later......"What do you mean you lost him?” Col. Oda nearly yelled in the middle of the main floor of the building. "We had the son of a bitch now you can't find him?""Sorry, sir.” the tech said."Don't be sorry. Just find his ass again.” Col. Oda said.Col. Oda stomped away, and the slammed the door behind him. He sat down in his chair and knew he should take a break. He couldn't, though. He looked at the picture on his desk, his team. They were a ragtag bunch, but he genuinely cared for all of them. All but three of them were gone now that were in the picture, and he would give his last breath to make sure the other two stayed alive. Aaron could easily take over for him when he did retire as long as he still had a hand to guide him, and she was that hand. She was the reason the team was founded in the first place, this building, these people they probably didn't know her story or her origins, but
