I think that this is starting to come to an end now as I am running out of ideas how those people whose stories are 20+ chapters long cope I have no idea. I can do it with my own stories which are 100+ pages long but not these.
I hope you are enjoying it I do have a new idea but I need feedback before I do so.
As allways none of the characters are mine apart from Zu Jekyll who is now dead *sob*. However if they come up for sale let me know as I may yet buy them.

"No offence Nemo but Australia is a big place, how do you 'ope to find Zu and Henry?" Skinner asked from his spot in a comfortable armchair.
"I'm going to ask for any siteings of unusual activity in all the pubs someone is bound to have heard something." Nemo told the Londoner
"So you think that asking a load of drunks where your only child is will let you find her quickly?" Ned asked from his position by the door
"I don't think that it will be quick but we will find her." Nemo said glaring at the Canadian
"Sorry for talking." Ned said sharing a grin with Skinner
"Tom, if you and Ned take the first town as you are the most normal looking of the lot of us. I will pick up someone else in the next town who has promised to help us." Nemo said
"What about Mina and me?" Skinner asked
"If you would follow Tom and Ned to keep an eye on them I will keep Mina with me."Nemo decided.
"Is it tonight you'll want us to go?" Tom asked
"That would be helpful."
"I'd best start getting ready then." Tom said and left the room.
"I'll stop him from dressing too stupidly." Mina promised and followed Tom from the room. Ned left as well leaving Skinner and Nemo together
"Do you think that Zu and Henry are still alive?" Skinner asked
"I hope so. I could not stand to loose my final child." Nemo said
"I can imagine what this will do to Henry though especially if she is dead. I don't think he'd be able to cope." Skinner said
"I think that Henry Jekyll is stronger than we give him credit for, the strength that Edward Hyde exhibited had to come from somewhere." Nemo said thinking of his son-in-law.
"I didn't know that 'e could fight but he did in Paris." Skinner mused
"Any of us would react in that way when someone we love is in danger. It can drive us to do things we wouldn't normally." Nemo said thinking back on the ships he had sunk and lifes he had destroyed.
"I wouldn't know about that would I?"Skinner asked
"I don't know Skinner as you don't tell us about your life before here do you." Nemo said
"It isn't anythin' that you want to know about trust me on that." Skinner said
"If you ever need to talk just know that we are all here if you need us."
"Thank you." Skinner said.
"You'd best go wipe that stuff off your face if you are going with Tom and Ned." Nemo said
"Yeah." Skinner said and left the room. As Nemo watched his leave he wondered not for the first time how old Skinner was, at times he seemed as old as Jekyll whereas at other times he reminded Nemo or Tom and Zu. He would eventually get round to asking him.
Skinner hurried to his cabin to remove his coat and hat, he wiahed people wouldn't pry into his past he didn't want to remember it, he had been running from his past since he was 15. Ten years was a long time to run from anything let alone the past, his past was something that he'd have to face one day and when he did he hoped his friends would be there to help him. That would mean he had to trust them though and Skinner was not yet sure he wanted to do that. He squashed all memories of his past again and promised to deal with them later for now he had other things to worry about such as where his friends were. Nothing would stop him from finding them nothing.

Sorry this one took a while to get done but after the shocker in last chapter I had to think up something to do. As Skinner happens to be my favourite character I have left to play with I thought I'd deal with him for a bit. I will continue with the story in the next chapter but as to Skinners past that'll be handled in my next fic possibly.
As for Zu she is dead and won't be back. I promise, as I run off the mirror shows fingers well and truely crossed behind my back.
Keep reviewing.
