Josh left Syila's room and ran into Linna in the hallway.

"So what did Syila want?" Linna asked.

"She was wondering where we were staying while we were in Tokyo." Josh answered.

"And where is that?" Linna asked leaning up against the wall.

"Well when I told her we were gonna stay in a hotel she offered to let us stay here for free but I requested that we pay $500 a month each and she accepted." Josh said.

"Really that's great." She said smiling.

'There is that smile again' Josh thought. "Yea she said it was a bad idea to separate the team."

"Where are your bags and suitcases?" Linna asked.

"At the STAR building I'm getting ready to head over there." Josh answered.

"How are you gonna get there?" Linna asked.

"I'll just take a taxi." Josh said.

"Well I can give you a ride I'm not doing anything at the moment." Linna said.

"Are you sure?" Josh asked.

"Yea sure no problem." Linna said. "But we better get going before more Boomers go rouge."

"Ok lead the way." Josh said waving his hand at the door.

They walked through the hall and into the living room where Terry was changing the dressing over Nene's wound.

"Terry where is Mike?" Josh asked looking around the room.

"He had that date tonight remember." Terry said pulling her gloves off.

"Oh yea that's right." Josh said.

"Why were you looking for him?" Terry asked.

"Well Linna was gonna give me a ride over to the STAR building and I wanted Mike to come with me in case there was any trouble." Josh said.

"What do you think Jack is gonna try something?" Terry asked.

"No not at all I was gonna through our suits in the trunk so if there was a rouge Boomer I could have some backup until you and Kenny could get there." Josh answered.

"Well Kenny would go but I sent him to the store to get some bandages for Nene and Syila and to get the beer he owes us for getting the last kill." Terry said.

"Ok well I guess I'll be ok on my own till you and Kenny can get there to help. If there is even a problem." Josh said.

"Well you know Terry said I'm about 80% combat effective." Linna said. "I can suit up and sit in the passenger seat and you can drive."

"Do you think you are up to it we could be on our own for several minutes and with your ribs the way they are you could get even more hurt." Josh said.

"No need to worry about me I'll be fine." Linna said giving him a smile.

"Ok. Suit up I'll wait for you here then off we go." Josh said.

Linna suited up and meet Josh in the living room.

"Ok lets go." Linna said. "I'm not gonna put my helmet on because if someone sees me with my gear on they could write my plate number down and the police would know where I live."

"That's a good idea." Josh agreed.

Josh drove Linna's car to the STAR building and parked it across the street.

"Ok you wait here I'll be back in 10 minutes." Josh said getting out of the car.

He ran across the street and into the STAR building right past the guard and into the elevator. He pressed the button for sub level B and walked into the room where their things were waiting.

"Hey Josh all your things are right here." Jack said when Josh walked into the room.

"Thanks Jack I don't have time to talk I want to get back to my team before anything happens." Josh said throwing 4 of the duffle bags over his shoulder.

"Where is the rest of your team I know Terry is with that injured Knight Saber but where is Kenny and Mike?" Jack asked.

"Kenny went down to the store for medical supplies and beer and Mike is out on a date." Josh said slinging the other 4 over his other shoulder.

"Mike has a date already? You have been Tokyo for what 3 hours and Mike scored a date?" Jack asked. "Well my hats off to him he is a God amongst men."

"Well actually he meet this one on the flight so he hade 20 hours to lay down the bullshit." Josh laughed.

"Ok but still 20 hours and he hade a date that's still good." Jack said as they walked to the elevator. "Aren't those bags heavy?"

"There about 30 lbs each but its ok I won't be holding them for long. Hey I really need to go so call me if something happens." Josh said stopping at the elevator door.

"Ok what is the number and room of the hotel you are staying at?" Jack asked bushing the button for the elevator.

"There has been a change of plans we are now staying with the Knight Sabers so just call my cell phone." Josh said stepping in the doors.

"Ok will do see you later." Jack said as the doors closed.

He left the building and ran across the street and Linna popped the trunk with the leaver under the drivers seat so Josh could throw the bags in.

"Ok lets go." He said climbing in the car.

"Everything go ok?" Linna asked.

"Yep no problem." Josh answered and pulled into the street.

They pulled into the Silky Dolls driveway and unloaded Josh's suit first and took it down to the pit then set to work off loading the duffle bags and bringing them up to the rooms. Kenny was in his room watching some fish swim by in the tank that was his wall when Josh walked in with his bags.

"Man I tell you just give me a fishing poll and some bait and dinner is served." He said as a large Albacore Tuna swam past.

"They are big I'll tell you that." Josh said throwing Kenney's things on the bed and walking out.

Once all the bags were where they belonged Linna went down to the pit and changed back into her clothes and headed back up to the living room. Terry and Nene were talking about how to care for her wounds until they healed and Josh and Kenny were drinking a beer and talking about the Boomers they fought earlier today.

"Now our swords cut through there armor easily enough but we are bound to run into stronger armor sooner or later. And we are gonna need new and stronger swords before our swords are useless to us." Josh said.

"Ok no problem I can have 5 new swords ready in a month." Kenny said.

"Good get on them as soon as you can we are gonna need them soon I think." Josh said and walked over to Terry and Nene. "So how are you feeling Nene?"

"Well the morphine is wearing off so its starting to hurt a little but Kenny bought some pain killers so I'll be ok." Nene said looking at him with a smile.

Linna walked up behind Josh and put her hand on his shoulder.

"Hey I'd like to stay I've got lots of things to ask you but I have to go home I have to work in the morning." She said.

"What oh yea ok goodnight Linna drive safe." Josh said.

"I will goodnight Josh." Linna said walking backwards and almost walking into the door.

Josh turned back to Terry and Nene smiling and caught their stare.

"What?" Josh asked.

Terry and Nene just looked at each other shacking their heads.

Linna's apartment

Linna walked in her room and reached to put her keys on her dresser but missed and they fell in her trashcan. She took a shower and put on her green nightgown and slipped into bed. As she fell asleep her last thought was of the man that had saved her life.
