"Hmm... Am I dreaming or what? There is no one to hunt down. All the wanted fliers were taken. I didn't see that one coming. Now, how can we get money? I'm totally hungry!" Sven moaned as his stomach agreed with him.

Eve pointed at the passerby while holding the stuff toy Saya gave her during the festival. "There, an opportunity..."

"Hmm?" Sven said as he looked lazily at the person entering the diner. A familiar-looking lady wearing a pink halter together with a black mini skirt entered. Her pink heart necklace swayed around as she made her way to Sven's and Eve's table. She sat down next to Sven and placed a folder in front of his face. "What's this, Rin?"

"Read it. It's something I want the three – oh, I mean, the two of you to do." Rin said as she fixed her short hair. "Besides, you need money, right?"

Sven looked at her weirdly and then, opened the folder containing the list of the missing persons. No, they are not ordinary persons for some of them are included in Chrono numbers, Sweeper Alliance, and Apostles of the stars. Rin cleared her throat and said, "No one has been identified to be the mastermind of all these sudden disappearance. But some witnesses have told me that they have seen these missing persons after the disappearance."

"What? Where?" Sven asked with his eyes fixed on Rin.

"To the place where they usually hang out," Rin lowered her voice and continued, "They were not considered yet as 'missing' since witnesses have seen them, but..."

"Eh? Are you sure they're missing? If they've come back, then, there's no need to worry about." Sven said.

"That's what we need to worry about!" Rin said abruptly as she slammed her hands on the table. Sven moved away and hid behind Eve. "Don't you think it's odd that they vanish and then, they come back as – well, something wrong with them?"

"Like what?" Eve asked. She looked at Rin, she was eager to hear what she was going to say next.

"Like they're doing things they don't usually do." Rin said. "I mean, some of them considered killing as work but not all of them! The media did not report it yet since it may cause the people to panic. Some of the very important persons were found threatened by them and then, murdered later on."

"Oho! I'm not surprised. Chrono numbers and some of the Apostles were known to do those kinds of dirty trick." Sven pointed out, finally coming out from Eve's back.

"What do you want us to do?" Eve asked calmly.

"Keep trail of those so-called 'missing' people and find out who they work for. I had a feeling they are not alone. Someone's behind this and we're going to find that out." Rin said as she stood up.

"Where are you going?" Sven asked.

"To find Train," Rin said. "I'm sure that he and Saya would like to help us as well."

"A – A – AT – CHOO!" Train sneezed. "Sheesh, I wonder if Sven, Eve and Rin are talking about me."

Saya giggled. "I'm sure they are. So, Train-kun, did you give up already? Aren't you going to take Hades away from me?" She threw it in the air and then, Train quickly grabbed it. "Hey! That's not fair!"

Train stuck his tongue out and said, "And when is stealing is fair? Remember that you took it away from me without my permission. So there, we're both fair."

"Humph..." Saya grunted as she walked away. She balanced her footsteps as she jumped from one rooftop from another.

"Hey, where are you going?" Train said standing up.

"I'm not telling you! Bleh!" Saya looked back and stuck out her tongue and then, she jumped downwards. Train tagged along and kept his Hades safe back to his case. Then, on their way to find breakfast, they come across Rin.

Rin grabbed Train and then, Train grabbed Saya by the arms. She told them what she told Sven and Eve as quickly as possible. Train noticed that she looked a bit restless. "Probably you're worried about someone..."

"I'm not!" Rin exclaimed, avoiding the judging eyes around her. "Anyway, I am in a hurry. I have to get to the place where the last V.I.P. was murdered. There might be a clue to who's behind this mess."

"Okay, then. We'll help. Don't worry." Train said as he patted Rin's back.

"I'm not worried about someone in the Chrono numbers!" Rin said abruptly and then, she covered her lips.

Train eyed her and grinned, "Who said you're worried about someone who belongs to the Chrono Numbers? We'll gather information as well. Catch you guys later!"

"Train-kun, matte!" Saya said as she kept paced with Train and left Rin.

Rin went to the dark corner of the streets and then, slowly, a portal appeared on the ground and a girl with a long carnation pink hair appeared. Rin grinned as her body changed from head to foot. Her hair changed into a black spiky hair and her eyes turned into cold azure eyes. And then, her body became of a man until the last part of his body. The young man looked down on the real Rin whose hands and feet were fastened with shackles. Her mouth was covered with a packaging tape. "Now, that's more like it." the voice spoke, "It's really hard for me to impersonate somebody else. Anyway, we have to go now, Porta."

"What are we going to do to her? Should I get rid of her?" Porta asked emotionless.

"No, no," the man said. "We'll take her along with us. She will be useful when the time comes."

Rin shook her head as the man came closer to her. She struggled as he carried her inside the portal.

SCREECH!

Saya looked at the diner nearby and felt her stomach grumble. "TRAIN-KUN, YOU GO AHEAD! I'M REALLY HUNGRY, I COULD EAT A HORSE! TAKE CARE!"

"Wha-?" Train turned around and saw Saya waving goodbye at him. "Be sure to catch up okay? You should take care of yourself as well!"

Saya grinned as she turned her back and entered the diner. What the two of them did not know, is that it was their last meeting as lovers and the next time they meet it will be...
