Train?...Train?...Damn it train where the hell did you run off to this time!"Sven cried out slamming his fist down onto the table. "I cant turn my back on him anymore then five seconds!" Sven had only been gone for five minutes and Train had managed to slip off with out anyone`s knowledge again... Sven grown use to that, it was Trains nature, but he had strict orders this time for his own good to stay put. There were new enemies they were facing, they were like Chronos in so many ways, he wasn't sure if Chronos themselves were aware of this mess. Though what made matters worse they had lured Creed into there clutches, they some how brained washed him to become the former number member he once was. Sven worst fear was they were going to that to Train. Sven knew very well how bad that result, especially since he was traveling with two certain people who were suppose to meet their doom from the end of his gun, but if he let them go before, he might do so again.
Sven let out a sigh, there was no since in worrying about this matter right now, it wouldn't do him any good. He needed to think and probably call Rin, she might know something that could help them, though if she didn't he was sure she could very well find something out. Sven lit up a smoke then took one long soothing drag from it to calm his nerves. He glanced around the room, noting where everyone else was making sure they hadn't run off too. Eve was nestled in the big arm chair with a new book Kiki had gotten her, Kiki herself was fast asleep on her bed, then his eyes laid on Jades bed. Empty. "Oh come on.."He cried out but was quick to shut up seeing her walk in the front door.
"Where have you been?"He asked flicking off the ash of his cigarette into the ash tray before him. He tried to sound calm and just plain curious, not worried and pissed off she left too. He was unsure how well he was doing, but Jade didnt seem to notice either way.
"I was on the porch, I just wanted some air..."She said with hardly any emotion in her voice at all, her thoughts were truly else where tonight. Jade looked like she was spaced out and just lost in thought today. She walked past him and heading down the hall to the guest room, its where she stored most of her stuff since Train hardly used it. Ever since they stumbled upon this group Sven made up his little home/hide out to accommodate for them for the time being. He set up a bed in Trains room for Eve, while Jade and Kiki had beds in the living room. Of course they hardly ever used the place so it didn't bother them, though they did redo the living room so it could function as both a sleeping space and living space.
"Hold up."Sven said not wishing to give her the chance to make it down the hall any further."Is there more your not telling me?"Sven asked looking over at her as he smashed his cigarette down in the ash tray. He felt something was wrong, and he was worried if it had to do with Train or something else. It was like her to avoid talking about things, but this time it was a bit different. She seemed rather off.
Jade tried to give him a smile, but knew she was failing miserably. "No, I really just needed a moment of air and time to think...So much is happening so fast.."She said glancing away from him, he really didn't need to see how worried she really was about everything right now, he probably knew just how bad this situation was becoming already. Jade paused for a second touching her phone in her pocket and remembering who called her earlier. "Oh, that friends of yours, she called me saying she might have some information for you..."Jade added remembering that short phone call she had outside. Annette keep the call short and simple, hardly telling her much so it made her believe what ever she found out was either hardly important or too important to say on the phone.
Sven ran a hand through his hair and sighed with a soft smile, Annette was one other person he could trust finding them information. He stretched his arms and slide his cigarette carton into his pocket before looking back up at Jade, "Did she say about what or anything?"he asked, but she simply shook her head in response.
"Well, we might as well head down there then, we need to find ourselves a job anyways."He said getting up from the chair and slipping on his coat. "Eve, Kiki, you guys coming?"He asked putting on his hat as he glanced over at the two. He figured he had woken Kiki up with his ranting about Train and bugging Jade but he wasnt all that sure. Eve happily nodded and closed her book while she got up from the chair.
Kiki rolled over on her bed and sighed shaking her head. "No, I have a friend coming out here to pick me up."She said then paused long enough to yawn. She had only fell into a light sleep but it was ruined by Sven. Kiki shifted then sat up brushing her long hair from her face. "I feel like im just getting in the way. So I wont be here when you get back. I will be sure to text you once I arrive home. You will be careful right?"She asked glancing worriedly over at the others, she still looked tired but she was awake enough to worry and comprehend for the most part what was going on.
Jade just simply smiled, no need to have friend worry needlessly, "No worries. We can handle this just get home safely with Kyo."She said waving her little comment aside. Jade knew that they could handle this mess, or at least she hoped they could. She slipped off to the guest room and rummaged through her things she tucked away in the closet trying to find her gun but came up empty handed. She scowled lightly 'Train.', She shoved that thought aside and got changed and hurried out after Sven and Eve but not before wising Kiki a safe trip home.
Sven drove quietly glancing down the sides the of the roads every so often curious if Train was on his way back home or something, he just wanted to make sure he wasn't dead some where. He knew better to worry like that but he couldn't help it, he just didn't want another friend dying on him. He glanced up in the review mirror and seen Eve was just watching the scenery passing by then glanced to Jade beside him and she was pretty much doing the same thing. "Well you two are awfully quite today..."He noted as he turned his attention back to the road, Jade just ignored him and Eve asked him about getting another book since they be in town but the rest of the trip was quite...
"Yo.."Sven said as he walked into the cafe` Annette owned and settled down on a stool where Eve joined him, while Jade on the other hand headed to the other end the empty Cafe and slipped into a booth in the corner by the window.
"Whats with your kitten?"Annette asked as she dried off a mug in her hand, she seemed fine when she talked to her one the phone, which only lead her to believe that they had gotten themselves into trouble before arriving. It wouldn't surprise her though, they had a habit of finding trouble everywhere they went.
Sven shrugged, he honestly didn't know but then raised a eyebrow at her choice of words. It was the first time he had heard the nick name used, he kinda hoped the nick names had stopped when Train nicknamed Eve princess. "Kitten?"He asked with a look that simply read 'Seriously?'
Annette set down the mug then tossed aside the dish cloth, "You took in a stray cat, then took in another one...first thing that comes to mind is kitten."She explained then lit up herself a cigarette. "So have you found anything else out?"She asked gazing down at Sven. Curious if he had man any effort at all to figure something out on his own, he really needed to stop relying on her and Rinselt all the time.
"We keep coming up empty handed, most we know are these guys have a similar goal like Chronos. They went so far as to hunt down Creed and some how brain wash him. That`s the most of what we know."Sven explained with a sigh. It was frustrating have to go through this mess but he wasn't going to sit by and watch it all happen. He was a gentlemen, he could sit back and watch innocent men and women get hurt if he could prevent it. He looked up at Annette pulling out his carton of smokes, "What about you?"He asked.
"Not much that could probably help, but a man was in here early asking me about your former Chronos member, and two other people, I think they were former apostol of the stars members...Though it seems they have their sights set on him next so be careful."She informed him while she went to work on a cup of coffee for Sven, of course she just have to put it on his ever long tab in hopes of one day he pay her for once. Annette placed the cup down in front of him and glanced over watch Jade straighten up, and get up from her seat. She was hesitant then was headed out the door not even sparing any of them a glance.
Sven shook his head, "I was afraid of that being the case..."He mumbled taking a sip of his coffee and pausing long enough to listen the door before shaking his head once more. "I think we need to put a bell on that one too."He added in a soft mumble.
"She is worried...about Train and I isn't she Sven?"Eve asked looking over at him. It was her best guess seeing how she was behaving all morning, though she was also probably worried about herself too. She was once a target, so if they brain washed Train back to his former self they may have to fight him and no one wanted that. It made her wonder if she could face him if came to that, if anyone one of them could face him if it came to that. Though Jade and Train fought plenty over stupid things but rare occasion she noticed them getting along very well.
"Most likely.."was all Sven could say about the matter, he hadn't really thought about that, but hearing what Annette said it was becoming a better possibility they were target Train next, and finish off his last two targets. The would probably start adding new targets to that list as well. He sighed once more, wishing this was so much easier but of course for them it was never easy.
Annette ground her cigarette out and walked over to the cork board pulling down a few posters. "To save you the trouble." was all she said before tossing them to him across the counter. "Go after you cats, most likely both are about to get themselves in some sort of mess."She said going back to cleaning up her cafe`. She paused long enough to add "I expect you to come and pay for coffee too." when Sven and Eve were heading out.
Sven gave her a laugh and adjusted his hat, "Of course!" Was all he said then heading out with Eve into the streets.
