Aya and Youji eagerly peered over the excited Omi's shoulder as he happily
explained what he had just found. The two guys had to work not to wince at
the poor kids over exuberance.
"So! I was looking around in some of Kricketer's old files, and this came up. It's a mission report written about 15 years ago about a clan of werewolves they had exterminated, called the Chairoi Ookami clan (according to a friend of mine, that means basically the Brown Wolf clan, but I'm not totally sure.) It says that it successfully killed all of them, except when they took they're final count, one of the cubs was missing with no trace. They've searched, but haven't had much luck."
"You know…." Youji broken in with a thoughtful look, "If that happened 15 years ago, and its actually Ken they are talking about, that would make him about…oh, 4 at the time, ne?"
Omi nodded.
"Poor kid. But, he's always talked about the Hidaka's as his family, what he'll say of them that is." Omi said, brushing his shaggy blonde locks out of his face. "I've been looking the report over, and I've found that its been reactivated with some new information."
"Ah the wonders of the computer world…." Drawled the jade-eyed man, sitting down on the couch. "What does that tell us?"
"It tells us that they have the missing cub. Which we are assuming is Ken, he's actually still in the facility here in Tokyo, but…"
"But what Omi?" Aya asked, speaking for the first time in this conversation.
"Its heavily guarded, we're gonna need a lot of luck for this…." Omi said wearily.
"There's no such thing as luck, just good planning." Answered the violet- eyed leader.
Time had passed for Ken in his dark little cell, though he wasn't exactly sure about how much, for there was no way to tell. He cried out a little when the door suddenly opened, sending a spear of light directly into his vision. A familiar voice made the poor brunette giddy with relief.
"Hey Ken." It was Manx.
"Manx!" the beleaguered boy cried happily, trying to run forward to her, but only to be stoped by his shackled and chained wrists. "I'm so glad you're here!"
The woman sighed and walked over to him, setting down a tray of food. Then she took a step back. Needless to say, Ken was incredibly confused.
"Manx….? What's going on?"
"I'm sorry Ken, that things must go this way. I honestly wish I could do something about this."
"Wha…what?"
Manx didn't answer as she turned her back, leaving the room. The door closed, once again leaving Ken Hidaka lost, alone and confused, buried in the darkness.

Meanwhile, back at the Shwarz house hold…
"Brraaaaaaaaaadddddddllllllllyyyyyyy…" came a whiny nasal voice, just perfect for interrupting deep thought. Crawford sighed, turning his swivel computer chair around to face Schuldrich.
"Oh what is it now?!" he demanded, annoyed at being brought back to the real world from his vision induced thoughts.
"Hi!"
"…."
"Umm….ill be going now…" the german said nervously as he saw his leader was quiet close to the snapping point. Way beyond being able to tolerate him just coming in to be annoying and say hi. The sight of Brad reaching quiet obviously for his beloved Magnum sent the telepath racing from the room. Brad snickered.
"Mwhahaha!"
