"Kanda!" Lenalee yelled from above. She came to land by the samurai on the ground.
"Lenalee. Where are the others?" Kanda asked.
"I don't know. I left on my own before my brother finished briefing everyone," she answered.
"I need to speak to Komui. You should head back with me." The girl looked hesitant.
"But we have to- I have to find Allen and help him." Lenalee had her own reasons for finding Allen, and they weren't the same as the others.
"They're gone. We have to notify your brother and the others of the Noah's involvement. I did what I could, but it was too much for even me." Lenalee had seen enough of the Noah's power back at the battle for the North American Branch. She believed him.
"If you think that's what we should do, than let's go." Kanda nodded in response, and they began the trip back.
'Kanda would never lie to me, he never has. I have to believe this is best,' she thought.
"Are you positive you saw the Noah?" Komui questioned.
"Yes, I know what I saw." Kanda was back to his routine foul mood. Nothing irritated him more than repetitive and stupid questions.
"It is highly likely. For all we know, the Noah took Allen against his choosing," Lenalee offered.
"We all know that Allen Walker is one of them, so the chances of this are slim. He most likely jumped at the chance of escape," Lvellie interjected.
Kanda glared at the man. He really disliked Lvellie. He would say anything to make it so Allen was the enemy.
"What is going to be done if they are found?" Lenalee asked, concern showing in her question.
"They?" Lvellie asked, glaring, suspicion in both his sharp tone and face.
"Allen and Timcanpy. That is who you meant, right Kanda?" She looked his way.
"Of course. Who else would I mean." Kanda scoffed. He had almost blown his own lie. Did they not know that the baka usagi was missing as well? He would have to keep it that way as long as possible.
"That makes sense," Komui stated. Just then the office doors opened.
"Link. This is perfect timing." Lvellie stepped towards his charge.
"If you know anything about the situation, now is the time to tell us." Link could see in the man's face there was no room for negotiation.
"I know nothing more than the others, sir. Everyone: finders, CROWs, exorcists have all began their search. I myself have examined the cell and still don't understand how Walker broke his golem free. However, it would make sense if he had assistance from outside help. The hole was made from the outside, as the debris suggests. If I might be so bold, I believe it to be the Noah's."
Link spoke in a manner (his usual) as if he was simply reporting back a mission to his chief. His face was void of any emotion. Kanda caught the short eye contact Link gave him. He had heard all previous conversation.
'Why is he helping?' Kanda wondered.
"There's nothing more that we can do from my office, so let's all rejoin the others in the search. Until we have the subject in questioning back, there is not much that can be done," Komui took charge. Lvellie agreed, nodding so.
"Let's go Link. Yuu Kanda, come with us." Both Link and Kanda left with no resistance, willingly. Once the door closed, Lenalee and Komui remained.
"Lenalee. I'm sorry," Komui took his sisters hand. His determination was gone. Now he only looked sad. That was the only fitting word for her brother's face now.
"Why? None of this is your fault brother. You're doing what you have to. Lvellie is to blame." Lenalee did not hate people, it wasn't her nature. But she could honestly say she hated Lvellie. Anybody who knew the girl's childhood, knew she wasn't unreasonable.
"Thank you, Lenalee. I just never thought I would have to condem a fellow exorcist. Another comrade."
Neither of them knew what to say. There was nothing to say. The situation was becoming more and more difficult to resolve, at least in a peaceful manner.
Yes, the Black Order had become something different, and brother and sister did not like what it was becoming.
