Pretty sure everyone saw the Callaghan bit coming, I couldn't help myself. Filler chapter today! Again, thank you to all of you for the favorites and reviews. It means a lot to me.

While Tadashi slept that night, he thought over what Alice had explained to him.

"The prints aren't worth anything. In fact, the ones that are gone are the mainframe for his heart. I wanted him to mimic a beating heart but there where issues with it," She explained, tapping a button on her arm and pulled up a holographic version of Alistor.

"Like... What?" He asked, watching the hologram. The holographic Alistor had his chest open, exposing the wiring and the software inside him. She pulled up the heart on her hologram, showing Tadashi the piece of metallic organ.

"It's basically a bomb. The pumping of oils and the gears turning, if anything was to go wrong, he'd burst," She finished, showing a simulation of Alistor's heart malfunctioning. The chest cavity was destroyed, but the damage was kept to a minimum.

"It's not powerful then," He said as she shut the hologram down.

"At most, it's a fire starter. It just sparks and blows," Alice said, anxiously tapping her fingers on her metal arm. "If there was enough of them, they could bring down a building, but it takes time to make..."

"Alice, it's going to be okay..." He reassured, patting her back, but he knew it would do little for her nerves. He kissed her cheek sweetly before he stood up and walked to the kitchen, starting the coffee maker.

"Thank you..." He heard her say from behind him, her arms wrapping around his waist as she rested her head on his back. He gently place his hand over hers, leaning over his shoulder and gave her a chaste kiss, earning a smile from her. He turned around in her arms, wrapping his arms around her neck as they kissed again, pulling the other closer. The kiss became deeper as their hands began to wander, Alice unbuttoning his cardigan. Tadashi's hand began to slip under her tunic, exposing her shoulders...

BEEP BEEP BEEP

The two pulled apart quickly as the timer went off, the both of them readjusting themselves, flustered at what just happened. Tadashi cleared his throat, a dark blush on his face as he handed Alice a cup of the hot coffee, who accepted it and distanced herself from him, her face as red as his.

After the two had drank some coffee and did their best to relax, Alice called Alistor's cell before she made herself comfy on the couch. Tadashi offered his bed, but when both of them began to turn red, he quickly restated himself and got her some blankets and pillows for giving her an awkward kiss good night. Sleep didn't come to him for a while and when it did, it was only of the robbery and Callaghan.

But... It couldn't be him.
