Crimson whole body tensed up and relaxed at the same time when she saw Volt. She thanked the gods that it wasn't Sion. Because if it was Sion than her face would be in the wall right about now. So with Volt being the one getting the receiving end may be better in the end.
"I'm waiting Crimson."
Of course he was waiting. He didn't like when people had surprises. You could never fully read Volt, he was one man hard to get any reaction of any kind. Let alone to know what his feelings were. Crimson sighed before responding.
"We may have a problem here. It would cause Sion to freak out, literally."
Crimson moved out of the way so Volt could see what she was talking about. Volt moved his vision where Crimson was standing and his eyebrows raised at the sight.
When did Dominique bring a girl into the bar? She brought in an animal last night, not a human being. So that leads to how the girl got into the bar with Dominique in her lap smiling away. Volt uncrossed his arms as he leaned against the wall.
"Where did the animal go?"
Crimson bit her lip.
How in world am I going to explain that? God, stupid Mikado group. They literally ruined everybody life and expected people to move on with a hole gnawing away at them. Everyday with a reminder in your head.
"She claims to be Sion daughter with kaleda. She can do the same ability that I can. So there is no reason to discard what she is saying. But it leaves the problem of telling Sion. I'm willing to tell Sion, but-"
"That leaves him reliving the wound that we finally managed to have him heal."
"Exactly."
Volt looked up at the ceiling.
We finally been able to heal our old wounds, but I guess we won't get the privilege of forgetting. So that leaves the task of finding out if the girl with the information is truth or a scheme coughed up by mikado group. Which is highly reasonable. Same ability as Kaleda and Crimson that is too much convenient.
"The first thing we should do is find out if the DNA matched Sion and Kaleda before we tell him, otherwise he will go off the handle. That would be a mess."
Kou finally chimed in, "Yeah, but we can't go to any doctors. That would rise suspicion."
Crimson groaned. Kou was right. They go to any normal doctor that would cause chaos. They needed a doctor who was willing to keep this visit under wraps, literally. Also any "Medical Operations" kept sealed. If anything was spilled before they found out the exact truth than they would be in hot water again. All seemed deep in thought. The girl seeing this decided to speak up.
"I could just leave. I'm used to wondering the streets and being unwanted."
"Sorry hun, can't do that. Even if you do that the fact doesn't change that you can turn into what you turn into. If Sion just happens to see that, it would break him. Worse if he hears about an animal wondering the streets that looks like Kaleda that...I honestly don't know what it would do to him."
"Did he seriously love this Kaleda person that much?"
"She meant the world to him. She was his lifeline in this world."
"So I am basically stuck than?"
"In a way yes, just until we figure out how to solve this. If everything matched up..I don't know how everything would work out. But would you want to meet and make a life with your dad Sion?"
She paused before answering.
"I have thought about meeting and seeing my parents. With this form though...I just don't know."
Volt turned his head in Kou's direction.
"What about your buddy? Can't you call her for help?"
Kou fidgeted a bit before answering, "I could try. I never honestly knew how much details she had on the group itself. Give me a few to see what she can manage."
kou left the room to make the call as the others waited for his return. It took him quite a while, but he finally returned.
"Well?"
Kou placed the phone down as he answered, "She cant get anything. After we finished it, she isn't assigned to that area."
"Great...Volt!"
Volt stared at them as he said, "Yes"
"Ask your girlfriend."
"I don't have a girlfriend."
"Okay ask your not girlfriend to find the dirt."
Kou couldn't help but laugh. Echidna and Volt lets just say they have a very complicated relationship. They both like each other and both refused to admit it. So it was a constant I hate you, I like you. Volt sighed as he pushed off the wall and headed downstairs.
"So what are we gonna call you?"
The girl looked down at her plate and than back to Crimson eyes.
"I honestly don't know. No one really named me. I just always had a nickname. Holly."
"Well I guess we can use that for now until Dominique names you. I just hope Volt can find the information that we need. Echidna hopefully won't be stubborn on this."
Volt found Echidna just walking in for her shift. He figured it would be better to not waste any time. He walked right over to her.
"Echidna, we need to talk."
"Oh? I don't see why."
"I don't feel like playing games here, its an issue about Kaleda."
Kaleda? We buried all that years ago. Why in the hell would he bring that up? She was stating to get annoyed and it was showing.
"Why are you bringing up that old news? Its buried."
"Dominique found a kid that has the same ability that Kaleda had. She claims to be Sion and Kaleda's child."
Echidna froze.
Child? That little bundle that Kaleda made Echidna swore to keep out of Mikado's life. Make her literally unknown to the world. That child was hers?! She never told her any of that!
"I can tell you know something about this."
Echidna cursed.
"I was the one who cleared everything about the girls record. Kaleda never told me it was her freaking child. All she requested of me was to completely clear her file completely as if she was never living. Plus I owed her a favor."
"Do you have a backup file of it somewhere?"
"Not in the place anyone would like to visit."
"Well, looks like we are going to have to revisit it."
"Damn Kaldea for keeping that tip-bit from me. Though with good reason."
"Who do you want to take with you?"
Echidna mulled over the ideas in her head. She could take Volt, that would be the most likely choice, but given their history it would be too much trouble. All they would do is argue. Sion out of the question until the whole mess was solved. Kou had good skills, but annoyed the hell out of her. That left Crimson.
"I'll take Crimson with me. We will leave in the morning. I'll go up and tell her."
Echidna walked up the stairs to tell Crimson the new mission.
