PS: Hesher is the same guy from the movie Hesher starring JGL. I saw the movie and thought it would be cool for Ariadne's brother to be like that. Same looks but slightly different personality. He still likes smoking and blowing things up, and has the tattoo of the middle finger on his back.

Chapter 7: finding the family

Ariadne walked with Butch out of his office and into the lobby, so they could get the car for Ariadne. When they walked out Arthur got a good look at Butch. His name doesn't describe him in the slightest. He is tall, muscular, tan, and very good looking. Arthur swore he had seen him on the cover of the "Sexiest Lifeguards Ever" calendar in LA. "So did you and Andre catch any good movies lately Butchy?" Ike asked trying to contain his laughter. Ariadne smirked. Butch just grunted "Not important," and walked towards the door which Arthur thought lead to the garage. Arthur followed Ike, Ariadne, and Butch out to find a Station Wagon. "You're kidding right?" Ariadne looked at him in shock.

"Okay not everything is big and fancy like you mustang Aria."

"You leave Bee out of this, but seriously a Station Wagon. Do you want me to die in a car chase?"

"For the love of God just drive it. If you're stuck in a car chase then we hope for the best. The best meaning you would lose your tongue and can't annoy me anymore," Butch chuckled causing Ariadne to punch him playfully in the arm.

"Ow! God what good comes out of hitting your savor Aria?"

"A lot of things. You're coming with me you two."

"Okay lets all pile in the hunk of junk and go say Ariadne's family." Ike said playfully as he climbed into the back. "Who wants to drive?" Arthur was about to volunteer, but Butch cut him off. "Ariadne should. She has the most car-weapon experience, so she can even save our lives in this piece of crap?"

"Oh okay," Arthur mumbled. He didn't think Ariadne was a firework waiting to be ignited. When he met her she was so helpless. Or at least she seemed that way. Cobb told her she shot Mal without hesitation though. Maybe she is really a firework…..

"Arthur, who did you want to drive?" Ike questioned, snapping Arthur out of his thoughts.

"No Ariadne can drive. I just thought she wouldn't be able to use a car like a weapon, that's all."

"Because she is a girl." That was part of it. Arthur wasn't sexist, but he had never known a girl who could fight, or survive three days in the military.

"Well partially, and I don't know many girls who can drive a car 200 miles over the speed limit and use the car as a weapon, but if she thinks she can then okay." Ouch. That came out wrong Arthur does believe in Ariadne, he didn't mean it the way it sounded, but it's too late to take it back now. He could tell Ariadne was holding back something. Whatever it was she forced it down and walked away. "Wait I didn't mean it the way it came out. I-"but Ike cut him off. "Dude just get in the car and shut up. You already pissed her off." Arthur didn't speak. He just got in the front seat next to Ariadne, who didn't look at him the whole ride to The Amber Complex. Butch and Ike were in the back hold what looked like mini machine guns, ready to shoot at anything that moved. Ariadne got out of the car and ran inside, bribing the doorman to do so. He took the bribe with a smile and let her in. She came out five minutes late with Rita, a boy looking at least thirteen, and a guy looking like a man who escaped prison. Arthur could tell why Riat didn't tell him about Ethan. (If that's who the kid is anyway.) They got in the car. And Butch decided to make small talk to ease the tension between Hesher and Rita and Arthur and Ariadne. "So Hesh, hows life?"

"It's okay considering I have been in jail for a few months I can finally see the free world again." Hesher said with a laugh, causing Ariadne to shoot around to face him. "What the hell Hesher! What did you do?"

"You know how I like blowing things up so I blew up my neighbors window. Oh don't worry sis, no one was home, but I was sentenced to three months, and served it like a good boy."

"Well that makes no difference." Ariadne snarled and turned back to face the road. Ike tried to ease the tension. "So Rita does Hesher know about….."

"No. No so would you please not talk about it here." Ariadne turned around again. "He will find out. He was with you. You might as well tell him about that."

"Nows not the time."

"Okay but make it before the end of the month." Now the kid tried to ease the tension. He climbed over the seat and sat between Ariadne and Arthur causing Ariadne to relax a little. "Hey Aria, can you rap Super Bass for Hesher. He doesn't think you can do it," Ariadne smirked. "Hesh you doubt my skills? That's just rude. We are at the house now when we are inside I will do it kid." She flicked the side of his head "Hey! No need to be rude, just because I sit between the guy you like doesn't mean you have a right to flick…"

"Okay. Ethan I think we all know you better get inside fast or you die." Ethan jumped out of the car Ariadne in tow spriting into the warehouse. Everything was happy. they ran inside and Andre took hold of the scene and picked up Ariadne and threw her over her shoulder. He threw her on the couch and started to tickle her until her squeals could be herd in Paris. "Let me up." Ariadne begged, causing Andre to stop tickling her. "You have to say Andre you are the sexiest hunk of man alive." "Okay" Ariadne smiled "Andre, Butch thinks you're the sexiest hunk of man alive." Every one laughed. The girl standing next to Jake buried her face in his shoulder to keep from laughing. Arthur wanted to get to work, no one here deserved to die here. "Okay lets get to work" Oddly enough he didn't say that Josh did. He looked very uneasy, but then again all the extractions he has done has never put him in any real danger. Plus he can't shoot a gun, or fight to save his life for that matter. "You're right Josh." Ariadne said "Okay Arthur, Andre, and I will go into the dream with Rita, Hesher, Ethan, and Josh to train and test your fighting skills. Josh are you trained?"

"No we were going to but we never got the chance."

"Okay he is the subject, so the projections won't attack us during our training. Arthur I hope you're as good with guns and fighting as I think you are."

"I am let's go."

"Okay, Andre hook them up."

"Okay and Aria."

"Yeah Dre?"

"Don't get shot again it's just embarrassing to see you get shot from a beginner's projections."

"Aw come on that one time. And you were shot too and so were Kali and Jake."

"Oh yeah guess I forgot."

"Sure. Let's get started." Arthur and Ariadne hooked themselves up along with Andre, Ethan, Rita, and Hesher. Butch pushed the button and sent them into a world of darkness.
