After fourteen hours of flying, C.C. and Isis finally landed somewhere in Asia for the night. They were somewhere in Romania. C.C. had instructed Isis to use her Geass so that they could get into a hotel for free. Soon, they were in the single hotel room that occupied the top floor. It was the nicest suite there and it had two large beds. There were white tiles covering the floor, not just in the kitchen and bathroom, but also in the main room too. It was cozy enough, but C.C. liked Lelouch's old room much better.
She sighed and watched Isis as she began to dismantle her phone, checking for a tracking device. C.C. didn't care if they were found. She was immortal, so they captors wouldn't be able to kill her. Isis, on the other hand, was perfectly mortal, but she was expendable. She was only there to help her find Lelouch. Once he was found, C.C. would just dispose of her. In short, she was nothing more than an amusing little pawn. C.C. mentally smacked herself. She was beginning to sound like Lelouch! Ugh! Why must he always be on her mind?
She sighed and looked out the window at the night sky. The moon was high and full with millions of stars sparkling. She smiled a little to herself, remembering a night she and Lelouch had spent under the stars during his reign as emperor. She shook her head hard, forcing the memories back into her subconscious. Lelouch had always been just another contractee. He had been just another mortal that she had selected to kill her. Of course, Lelouch being as annoyingly smart as her was, figured out that her trued wish was to be loved. She had hoped he would just forget about it, but he decided to grant her wish anyways. She would never have admitted it to anyone, other than him, but he had somehow captured her heart during their journey. She wasn't sure quite when she had realized that she loved him more in the way that a parent would love their child, but she still loved him nonetheless. C.C. sighed again and plopped down on her bed, wearing a white nightgown that Isis had bought for her.
From her spot on her bed, Isis pointed out, "Japanese superstitions state that every time you sigh, you lose one happiness. So, you just lost two happy moments that were supposed to happen to you in the future."
C.C. rolled her eyes. "Oops. Looks like I'm not going to have two less happiness's. Whatever shall I do?" Isis sneered. "Oh, shut it. I don't need to hear-."
A loud knock banged against the door, causing the girls to freeze. Isis brought a finger to her lips and snuck to the door. She held the gun that was in her jacket and swung the door open, ready to shoot whoever was there. Isis gasped when she saw a familiar man that had short black hair and dark, nearly black, brown eyes. He was muscular and smiled wickedly, a gun pointed at Isis' head. She kicked her leg out, catching him in the gut. He gasped, not expecting her to be so bold whilst being held at gunpoint. She slammed the door in his face and ran back into the main room.
C.C. raised a brow, curious as to what just happened. Isis grabbed her wrist and started to push her towards the window. "Johnston's here. I don't know what he wants right now, so we need to go; now."
"So, you plan on pushing me out a window?"
"Well, I shot you four times in the chest, and you lived. So, I think you can survive a twenty story fall."
C.C. rolled her eyes and began climbing out the window. She thought, this girl needs to go to an insane asylum, right when she felt something grab her by her hair. She let out an uncharacteristic yelp in surprise. She turned around, seeing the man for the first time. She gasped, remembering having shot him multiple times when she met Isis. He couldn't be alive! Unless…no. He can't have a Code. It just isn't possible.
She heard Isis pull out her gun behind her and waited to hear gunshots. After two minutes, C.C. realized that Isis wasn't planning on pulling the trigger. She turned around and yelled at Isis to shoot. Instead, the teen activated her Geass and commanded the man, "Release C.C."
The man just laughed and said, "You fool. Geass doesn't work on me." Both females froze and C.C. was dragged out the window. C.C. struggled, but he wouldn't let go of her hair. God, that's annoying! She looked at Isis, whom was trying to get her. C.C. looked up to see that there was a helicopter above them. She threw her picture at Isis and yelled, "Find him!" before everything went black.
