Kyouki was in a pleasant mood, quietly singing as she walked back to her car. With food in hand, she tossed the sandwiches into the passenger's seat. Going to close the door, she felt it snatch back open.

"Hey, can I help you?" She shouted. The man holding her door lunged at her. Kyouki pushed the man back, getting out of the car ready to fight. "Yo, the fuck is your problem?"

Another swing at her and she dodged out of the way. Some cars drove by, but none stopped to help. Kyouki swung, catching the man in the jaw, watching as he stumbled back, falling to the ground she hurried to get back in the car. Just as she went to enter, the day became night.


"Yo, Shaundi, your friend got taken!"

"What? Who took her?" Shaundi panicked. Hanging up with Blake, she dialed Pierce. "Pierce, you're not going to fucking believe this."

"What?"

"My ex told me he saw the Boss being kidnapped!"

Pierce rolled his eyes, shaking his head. "I don't trust your contacts, but wasn't your ex Veteran Child? Ok, did you try calling her?" That would have been the obvious thing to do, he thought.

"Well, no, but my ex, yeah, he was my ex. I can't have more than one? Anyway, he said that he saw her get snatched. In broad daylight!"

Looking at his phone, it beeped. It was Gat. "Hold on. Gat is on the other end."

Shaundi waited. She thought maybe Blake was seeing things, cause Kyouki knows how to fight. She saw it firsthand. "No way she got kidnapped." Shaundi snorted. It was laughable.

Pierce clicked back over and was at a loss for a moment. "Shaundi?"

"Yeah?"

"Did this ex say where she was taken from?"

"No, why?"

"Gat said she isn't answering her phone."

"Oh, let me call Blake and call Gat—"

"Whatever you do. Do Not Call Gat!"

Just as she was about to question why no, a shot rang out from the upper floors of Purgatory. "Pierce get to Purgatory, Samedi are here!" She hung up and went to hold the fort down.


Pierce looked at his phone. He looked at the sky. It was getting dark. He knew if he called Gat and told him Kyouki was missing, there would be no stopping him from finding her.

"FUCK!" He was already on his way back to Purgatory as it was, and the sudden news of his boss missing was disturbing. Flooring it, he raced to the HQ.

"Carlos, where are you? Good help Shaundi, Samedi are there? What, you know?! NO, DON'T FUCKING CALL GAT!"

Pushing his car to go faster than it could go, he skidded to a stop, running over some members trying to sneak in to get the jump while Kyouki or Gat weren't around.


The General and Mr. Sunshine sat observing this woman before them. A tilt of his chin signaled the Voodoo man to do his work. "Wake her, so we may have answers."

Before he did, he ran his fingers through her loose ponytail, collecting strands of her hair. Then he waves his staff the shrunken head with a stitched mouth jangled. It creeped the two others on either side of the Saints' leader.

"Wakey, wakey." Mr. Sunshine said.

Unsure of where she was, she knew she was sitting, her arms held down. Ky felt weak. The smell was horrible. So much so she could taste it coating her tongue.

Her eyes felt so heavy. 'No wind, building? No, I'm in a car. My head.' The feeling of coming to a stop, her head pounding, smoke was burning her lungs. She felt sick.

Heavy, her head felt rolling side to side, eyes seeing swirling people closing her eyes again, trying to move her arms, felt gripping tighter to hold her down. With a hiss, an unknown pain in her arm was sore. "Koko wa doko?" she asked over and over.

The General looked at the girl, then to his friend. With a nod, Mr. Sunshine grab a hold of her face forcing her to look at him. "We know ya speak English." Roughly releasing her, he sat back once more.

A whimper escaped her lips, having to open her eyes to see who was speaking to her. Snapped them shut as the faces she saw and lights were seemingly coming towards her. "Where am I and who are you?" Her naturally accented voice was heavy in her groggy state.

Pleased he can now hold a conversation, The General smiled."You are sitting with your betters my lovely friend. I wanted to see the face of the individual who had caused me so much trouble… I must say, so far I find the experience to be underwhelming…"

Kyouki groaned. She felt ill. Shaking her head as best she could, she pulled her arms. They allowed her to hold her head. She could feel something poking her in the chest. Touching it looked up. "I have caused no trouble. Who the fuck are you anyway, Ow. You just scoop people off the streets?" She felt so weak even her hands felt limp.

With a chuckle, The General puffed his cigar, blowing it in the young woman's face. "I am the man whose property you stole and destroyed..."

"OoOoh. How do you know it was me? I don't know who you are. Open a damn window, I need air."

His tone changed. "You needn't dwell on your past mistakes… you will not live to learn from them..." The General nodded. This woman was in his way, and he would have to be rid of her to continue with his lucrative business.

Gaining some strength, Kyouki shrugged them off. "That so?" Her phone rang. How did she just now hear it ringing? When she went to answer it.

Mr. Sunshine grabbed her face in his hands. "I'm afraid it is..." he said.

"Just who the fuck are you, ugly ass, fuck you do to me?" Kyouki tried to jerk away.

Mr. Sunshine snorted at her insult. He was unfazed. "They call me Mr. Sunshine."

Kyouki frowned. That name sounded familiar. Then she realized who this man was. "Well listen sunshine, I don't care how fucked up your face is. I ain't scared of you or that other asshole." She grunted out, swatting at his hand to release her.

Mr. Sunshine feigned a pout. "Pity." He blew pure Loa Dust in her face. Kyouki screamed as it burned her eyes.

She snorted to get it out of her nose and mouth; she coughed, drooling to rid the taste.

The General rolled his eyes and puffed his cigar once more. Watching the woman shake some of the dust off. With a wave of his hand, he ordered his men to see to his guest. "Gentleman, I'm through meeting my adversary... if you please dispose of this trash."

"Of course General." The man on her left answered, pulling a gun out, clicked it, readying to shoot.

Kyouki heard it click. She needed to stall. "You're a general?" Tears streaming down her face, she felt way off. "You hear that? That asshole thinks he's the- SHIT!" Mustering up her strength, she leaned into the man on her left.

Instincts took over, she grabbed for the gun and forced him to shoot his partner on her right. Aiming his arm as he tried to shake the woman off a shot at Mr. Sunshine hitting him in his shoulder, and again sending a shot that whizzed past The General's head.

Causing the man to open his eyes witnessing a fight before him. The driver swerved to stop the commotion in the back when the bullet came flying by him. Another shot hit the roof of the modified limo, another shot at the window on her right.

Kyouki elbowed the man in the nose twice, breaking it, as he slumped on her. She kicked at Mr. Sunshine caught him in the jaw as she grabbed the gun on the floor and shot at him again.

Kyouki grabbed the handle of the car door in the commotion and flung herself out with the body that was bleeding out on her right. The night air was freezing to her, and she went skidding to a stop and hit the guard wall, knocking her head hard on the cement in the process.

The sound of cars honking and blaring as they sped past her while she lay there. She was cold and hot all at the same time. She couldn't see. Groaning, Kyouki sat up slowly. Feeling the wall behind her, she pushed herself up.

Wisps came after her quickly. She tried to run, but fell hard to the ground, tripping over the dead body. "Help." She called.

Trying to stand once more, she crawled further into the open space, away from the wall. Going to stand, they snatched her back to the ground. "Get off me!" Kyouki fought the person on her. Taking the arm that was wrapped around her, bit down hard, and tried to escape again. Hearing the man yell, she crawled away, getting to her feet, stumbling with her arms out in front of her. Tears streaming down her face, she tried desperately to get away.

"Kyouki, stop! Stop!" Over the noise of the cars blaring horns, she didn't hear her name being called. She felt someone grab her from behind.

She screamed and kicked. "Let me go, let me go!"

"Kyouki, it's me. Ky, what happened?"

Kyouki burst into tears sobbing as she held on tight to the body of the familiar voice. "I can't see! I can't see. Help, they did something to me!" Her stomach lurched, and she threw up next to her savior.


In the emergency room, they fed her charcoal to rid her system of whatever was in it. She laid back, resting. After an hour, her tube was removed, and she sat listening to the beeping of machines. "Can you tell me what happened?" The curtain shushed open as she lay there. Hearing the scraping of a chair on the floor, she faced the direction it was coming from.

Kyouki swallowed. "I was attacked, I fought him off, I thought, dunno, then it went black." Kyouki rubbed her head. "Sorry about biting you. I didn't know it was you."

"Nah, you good. You ok? I know I'm the last person you want helping."

Kyouki then shook her head. "I don't know how you found me, but thanks." She was hushed as she spoke. Her head was throbbing.

The doctor came in shortly after. "Hi Ms. James? Dr. Abrams. You said you can't see. Can you tell me what happened?"

Kyouki went on explaining how she ended up in the office. Troy sat and listened again. It was the Sons. They were elusive and even he couldn't pin them down.

"Well, the good news is that your blindness is only temporary. Give me a minute and well flush your eyes, okay?"

"Yes, I have nowhere else to go." She smiled, causing the two men to chuckle.

"Alright, I'll be back in a moment." The doctor left the bay.

Troy sighed, he rubbed his sore arm, and looked at Kyouki he wasn't sure how he ended up on the highway, way out where he was when he saw her falling, but he was glad he did, everything in him wanted to ask more about what led up to the Sons taking her and trying to kill her, but he knew. He secretly knew that she caused the recent events going on in the city. He just wasn't sure if he should haul her in or let it go. Kyouki was doing him a favor. With a shake of his head, he was going to have to let this go.

"When you are done, I'll take you home. Where do you live?"

"Purgatory?"

"What?" Troy asked, confused.

Her eyes opened to a blur. Facing Troy from the sound of his voice, she smiled. "Inside joke."

Troy nodded. He sighed. "You can come to the house. I'll sleep on the couch."

"No. It's ok. I'll um, uh…" she stammered. She couldn't see right now, and there was no telling when she would. Ky knew Gat and Aisha were waiting for her, and she knows they would comb the city looking for her. Her phone was broken, according to Troy. So she had no choice. With a sigh, she closed her eyes once more. "Ok. Just until I can see."


Gat stood in Purgatory amongst the bodies of the Samedi, and glaring at the Lieutenants who could not meet his eye. "Where. Is. She?" He asked once more.

"We don't know. We tried calling her. She never picked up."

"New question. How the fuck did these bitches get in here? Who the fuck was watching the place?"

Pierce pointed to Shaundi, who instantly went into defense mode. "No, I was on the phone with you when I told you Kyouki got snatched. You told me not to call Gat."

Pierce lost color. "Hey man, listen. We... We… We didn't want to bother you cause we knew she couldn't be far. I was gonna call you!" Gat snatched him by the collar of his shirt. Pierce held his hands up in defence, cringing.

"Take your ass out there and fuckin' find her. I don't give a fuck how long it takes. You got me!" Gat growled. Seeing Pierce nod his head vigorously, he let him go. He didn't have to tell the others they all scrambled.

Ramon, Carlos, and Ren stood there. Carlos looked at Ramon, who nodded. He left to go in search, with Ren behind him. Ramon walked up to Gat and patted his shoulder. "G, don't do this. You know if there is something wrong, she will call. She's good for slipping off, man, you know this."

Gat rubbed his face in frustration. "Yeah. You right. But we just got her back." His cell rang. An unknown number showed on the screen, his first move was to not answer. This time he picked up.

"Hey G. I will be back soon. I'm so sorry about the food. I owe you."

Gat felt like his legs were jelly. "Where are you?" Ramon patted his back. He then went to call Carlos, but Gat stopped him. Pulling Ramon they started for the stairs.

"I'm in the last place you would expect. But it's a funny story. Can I tell you later? I'm like exhausted."

"Not until you tell me where you are." Nothing but silence for a few moments. Hearing her sigh, he prompted her again. "Ky."

"I'm with Troy."

"I'm coming to get you, address now."

"No, I need rest. I'll see you tomorrow or whenever."

"Think of that bitch lyin' to you." Gat's voice was almost pleading.

"I know. Hey, can you go get my car, it's around the corner from the Food Trucks at Uni."

"I am coming to get you after."

Kyouki knew he wouldn't let her off the phone until he had sight of her, but she didn't want him beating on Troy. He saved her life again. Giving Gat the address, he hung up and had Ramon follow him. As punishment, he wasn't going to let the others know she was safe. Ramon called Carlos to tell him to take Ren home and he would be home soon.


A knock on Troy's door was more like the cops, almost banging the door down.

Troy helped Kyouki to the door. "Good night, get some rest." He whispered in her ear.

Reaching for his face she rubbed his lip with her thumb. "Thank you." Kyouki whispered. He then hid from sight. Opening the door. "Johnny, that you?"

Gat looked at her and she had bandages wrapped around her eyes. Ramon stood there with his mouth open in shock. "What happened?" Ramon breathed out, looking between her and Gat.

Kyouki felt the door frame and stepped out into the night air, slowly closing the door behind her. She felt a bit saddened, but Gat would not let her be alone with Troy.

Reaching for Johnny, she knew he was near on top of her and felt heat. Touching his stomach, her hand slid up to his chest. Pushing him back a bit, he got the message and moved to allow her to walk. Johnny took her hand squeezing it, she could feel his heart pounding in his ribs before he held her hand in his. Ramon took a hold of her elbow. "Jefa, que paso?" Ramon asked again.

"I got into a minor accident. Troy saved me." She smiled. If she could see the looks on their faces, she would bust a gut laughing.

Johnny led her to the car. The shock of seeing her like this sent him into a fury. "So what happened?" He needed more to go on, cause he was definitely going after whoever did this.

"I met with Mr. Sunshine and The General." Ky shrugged as it was what happened. Technically.

Knew that wasn't what he asked. Johnny stopped just before the cars and took several deep breaths. "Your eyes? What the fuck happened to your eyes?"

"Organ donation?" Ky was trying to make light of the situation. She did not want to say what happened. It was uncomfortable enough for her to feel that way in the first place.

"Jefa." Ramon warned. Turning her head to the sound of his voice, she sighed.

Johnny was rubbing his face, and this woman was making jokes. "You been gone for hours, we all been calling you and you end up with Troy, you met Sunshine and The General and your eyes are fucked up! What the fuck happened?" Johnny was at his limit.

Kyouki was not going to get into this, and was not going to turn Johnny loose. "Nothing, now drop it. I am too tired to talk about it anymore. Take me to Purgatory." Kyouki was addressing Ramon after she barked back at Johnny. Kyouki was too tired to argue.

"Nah. Not tonight." Johnny opened the car door, snatched the bag of sandwiches that laid cold in the seat, tossing them into the back and helped Kyouki get in.

Kyouki knew this was going to happen. She just knew that Gat was going to take over. She would have to keep what happened under wraps. Being that the only other person who knows what went down was Troy, she was glad Troy would rather keep his life than rat her out. Ramon kissed the top of her head with a goodbye. With another sigh, she heard the car door closed and then took off to Aisha's cause that's where she was going to be grounded until her vision returned.


The drive to Aisha's was long and quiet. Kyouki's stomach growled. Gat looked over at her. He doesn't know what to do with her. She is a magnet for trouble. "So, how ya feelin'?" He couldn't be mad at her. Whatever happened, it was something, and she was refusing to tell him. He text Aisha to let her know they will be home soon.

Kyouki sighed and yawned. "Comfortable... and starving." She would have to kill those assholes for ruining her cheat day.

"You gonna be aight?" Johnny needs to make sure she is okay at all times.

"Yeah, I'm good here. Just hungry. I'm so mad. I really wanted that sandwich."

Gat knew it was late, and he was hungry too. Taking a few extra turns and detours, he came to a diner near the house. "Imma go in and get something. Can you sit here and not get into trouble?"

Kyouki grinned. "Oh yeah, I'll be here." Feeling a kiss on her temple, she turned to Gat, who already closed the door to the car. "Baka no Oshiri."


The Stilwater Gazette was vigilant, as ever. The morning paper was being read to Kyouki as she sat in the spare bedroom.

~*Saints leader in drug fueled orgy of violence*~

A reported meeting between gang leaders has ended in violence as the feud between the Third Street Saints and the Sons of Samedi continues to escalate. Witnesses report seeing the Saints' leader fired off a hail of bullets before stumbling across town to the nightclub Purgatory. What followed was chaos of the highest magnitude as Saints and Samedi traded gunfire leaving numerous dead at the scene.


"Welp, now they know we are here. This is what hell I was trying to avoid." Kyouki whined.

Aisha put the paper down. "It was bound to happen one day. And they still don't know you are leading them." Folding the paper, she looked Kyouki over. How's your vision?"

"Better. Thanks. The doc said it was temporary. So was no biggie." Kyouki nodded. Though what happened in the car last night, she knew they knew who she was. How she wasn't so sure.
Maybe V.C told them before he died. That was the only other option. "Yes, true, I just don't know who has been bean spilling. Can you have Gat call Shaundi for me and find out what happened there, please?" Kyouki would have done it herself, but her phone was indeed broken.

"Yeah, lay down, get some more rest. Johnny isn't here. He went to the store." Aisha went to find Gat.

"Oh. Thank you." Kyouki just laid down and tried her best to rest comfortably. With them knowing, it would be a matter of time before they came after her again. With a sigh, she stared at the ceiling.


Kyouki spent the next few days getting better. Once Doctor Johnathan cleared her, that was. Kyouki headed straight to Purgatory. Surveying the damage done, they cleaned up well. She still cursed.
She was going to have to hit those muthafuckers hard. They left several of her crew with severe injuries. While they were all glad to see her, it wasn't joyous on her end. Fed up, she needed to find out where their base was. Pierce, seeing her in the office, was more than glad to see her.

"Boss! You good? What happened?" He smiled in greeting.

"Yeah. Nothing I just took a mini vacation from ya'll." Ky smirked.

Pierce chuckled. "Yeah. About that. I can't take all this sittin' around when you gonna let me come out and do some dirt with you? Cause if you had me, that shit wouldn't have went down."

"Wow." Kyouki looked up at him. She would have to admit if she didn't go out alone, then that might not have happened, or maybe whoever was with her would have ended up dead.

Thinking better on it, she had to admit the truth. "I'll let you in on a little secret. Don't take it the wrong way, Pierce; I'm just used to dealing with shit myself. I was doing this for years. The only reason Gat gets bent outta shape is cause he is my best friend." They were heading out of the office and down to the bar. Shaundi and a few others were playing a game of hacky sack.

Shaundi kicked around the sack, kicking it to Ky, who kicked it back. "Heads up, Pierce!" Shaundi called out.

Pierce knocks the Hacky Sack out the way with a look of disgust written all over his face. Pierce shook his head. "Sorry girl, no self-respecting brotha plays hacky-sack. Why you got the cheerleader callin' the shots and not me?"

Shaundi gasped. "Aww, come on!" one of the Saints retrieved it and started the game again. Shaundi stood behind Pierce, her game forgotten. She was offended. "Right here..."

Kyouki looked at the girl and shrugged, waving a hand to dismiss her to do something else. Turned back to Pierce, wondering where this all was coming from. "I'm the Boss? Pierce, I know I put you in charge of the Ronin. What more do you want? Are they making moves?" Seeing Pierce shake his head no, she poured a glass of ice water.

"I can do more to help." Pierce was understanding, but he knew he could be of help. If she let him. After the other night, he felt like he needed to be her bodyguard. Coming across Gat was not something he had wanted to do.

Kyouki took a sip of her water. "You have. Remember, I asked you to help with the Samedi?" Seeing him nod, she continued. "Aight, new question. Do you know how the Sons of Samedi are still moving product after we physically torched their farms and drug labs?" She read that in the report that was lying on her desk. Ky stared at him. She wanted an answer.

Pierce hung his head. "No."

Kyouki nodded. "Then shut the fuck up." She refilled her glass, going back to her office to catch up on things she's missed.

Pierce threw his arms out. "Why you gotta be like that?"

Kyouki turned on him. "Why I gotta- don't bitch unless you got a solution. Did you forget I'm head bitch here? Fuck, you fuckers have it too easy. Cause she can get real tilted real quick!"

Shaundi's cell was going off. Answering it, she hung up just as quickly. "Um guys… I mean Boss?" Kyouki looked at Shaundi, who couldn't get a word in.

Pierce was still yammering about how unfair he was being treated. "My solution is to do more foot work than wait around for one of the 600 guys Shaundi used to fuck to call us."

Kyouki walked around Pierce, ignoring him. "Yes?"

"There's a bunch of helicopters dropping cargo over Samedi territory." Shaundi relayed what news she found.

Kyouki's eyebrows knitted. "Cargo choppers?" Shaundi agreed it was odd.

It irritated Pierce. "How the hell you know that?" Meeting the petite woman with a scowl.

Shaundi raises her phone with a look that made Kyouki snort.

"You gotta be fuckin' kiddin' me." He made the connection. It was one of her boyfriends and he definitely fed up. He was about to leave when Kyouki called over her shoulder.

"Tell ya what Pierce, if you wanna watch me and Gat blow up some helicopters, you're more than welcome." Pulling out her cell, she called Gat. "Gonna watch some helicopters, maybe shoot a few down. Need to find out if this is how Samedi are moving product."


Gat agreed to meet them near the Marina district. It just so happened that when Gat and Ish were out, there were several heavy choppers flying overhead. He thought nothing of it, then, but now that Kyouki mentioned it; he knew the direction that they were coming from.

Pierce wanted to drive, and Kyouki was fine with that. "About time you took me along. No, I'm serious. I'm always on time, I always listen, I always pay attention." He said after a while as they came up near Poseidon's Palace.

Kyouki's cell rang. Johnny had eyes on them as they were coming off the ocean. "Pierce."

Pierce steady talking, after he just said he pays attention. "Listen, if these helicopters are droppin' off dust they gotta be comin' from somewhere... I'm gonna drive to the coast and see if we can catch any of these assholes flyin' inbound."

Kyouki shook her head. This fool was not listening. "Pierce, stop the car. Yeah, Johnny told me, and that's why we are here. Besides helicopters."

Pierce stopped and agreed with what his Boss was saying. "I know we're looking for helicopters! I told you, I got this!"

Kyouki looked at the sky. "If this fool. Pierce! Helicopters!"

When Pierce shut off the engine and climbed out, he repeated what he was saying before about how he pays so much attention, but to Kyouki, he was missing the bigger picture. She had no time to deal with what he was saying. Gat left a present for her on the beach. Ky didn't care how he got it, just glad he did. Pulling out the rocket launcher, she looked through the scope. There were six black choppers coming in. She had to minute to wait before she fired off the first shot.

Kyouki turned to Pierce and grabbed him by his collar. He flinched. It was almost reminiscent of what Gat did to him the other day. Those two are definitely scary. "Pierce, the gotdamn helicopters are here!"

"What?" Pierce saw nothing as he looked around in the sky. Kyouki kicked him in the back of his knees to make him fall and placed the rocket launcher in his hands.

"Scope now." She demanded.

"Shit. SHIT! They flyin' over the water!" Pierce announced the old news.

"Yes, and they have to be closer or we will waste ammo." No sooner than the words left her mouth, a loud booming sound shot out from overhead. Following the sound, she saw on the roof a puff of smoke. Her cell rang.

"They are close enough. Take the shot." Gat had ordered.

"Pierce, take the shot!" Covering her ears and ducking out of the way as the shot went off behind her.

"Got him. Oh, no."

"What?"

"They split off. Shit!"

"We are going to need a boat." Looking around, there was one docked close by them, people screaming as a third rocket fired off from the rooftops taking another chopper down. Kyouki tugged Pierce as they ran along the sandy coast to the docked speed boat.

The owner was just going to lose out on this one. "I don't know how to drive a boat, do you?" Kyouki was panicked, as she kept her eyes to the sky. The engine started, and she fell back as Pierce took off after one chopper going along the waterline.

"Hang on Boss!" Pierce shouted over his shoulder.

Groaning, Kyouki got to her feet. "Lil late for that!" She pulled her handgun from her holster and aimed at the large whirlybird.

Pierce looked over in a double take after the first shot. "That's not gonna do nothing!"

"You right. Wait." Kyouki looked for a box. Finding what she was looking for, she pulled from it a flare gun. "HA HA!" Loading it, she took aim once more and fired it into the chopper. The pilot and copilot who were inside jumped for their lives, leaving the bird to fly solo. "Oh, shit!" Kyouki groaned. Watching the heli land into a building and burst into flames as it went crashing down.

Pierce, turning the boat around, went to seek the last two helicopters. Kyouki fired two shots at the men, who were bobbing in the water.

"We gotta get back to land. We have to get those last two!" Kyouki called over the dock in sight. Kyouki tugged Pierce's shirt. "We need to jump. Come on."

Pierce and Kyouki lept from the boat and landed on the shore. The boat running aground was skidding to a stop. Pulling her cell from her pocket, she dialed Gat.

"Eyes on the last two?"

"Yeah, I am heading down now. One was heading to the University and I dunno where the other went."

"Aight, we are going to go after them. Take the one by the University." Hanging up, Pierce drove them to search for the last remaining chopper.


The General pulled up near one of their strongholds. Getting out, he saw his friend and greeted the man with a smile. "You know why I am here." He nodded.

Mr. Sunshine nodded in return. "I do." Holding out his personal machete for his friend to take.

The General looked at the long blade and snorted, turning his cold jade eyes to the man he has know too many years to count, reached up to take a hold of his left ear. Holding it just so sliced the man's ear off.

Closing his eyes, he handed the severed appendage back to its owner. The General, with a sigh, felt needed an apology for venting his frustrations. "I took no pleasure in this, my friend... but a price needed to be paid for failure. Our shipments have been destroyed. More money lost."

Mr. Sunshine turned his equally cold odd yellow eyes to his friend, as if nothing happened just a moment ago. "Don't worry. I only need one ear to hear the whispers of the Loa."

The General nodded, patting the man on his shoulder turned to get back into the Hounfor. "I know that you will fix this. I have the utmost faith in you still." His accent is almost light despite the situation they have themselves in.

"Of course, General, do not worry. I have a foolproof plan." Entering the car himself, tossing the severed ear to the ground.


"Kyouki what the hell was that!" Troy called her up the second he heard about several choppers going down in the city.

"See, what had happened was, The Samedi…. Well they were flying in product."

Troy closed his eyes. "Thanks." Hanging up he called in the reporter.


The morning paper was semi accurate once again as what happened made the front page.

~*Stilwater institutes temporary NO-Fly zone*~

In a scene reminiscent of something found in "Bangers on Fire", an unknown vigilante rained hellfire on Stilwater today. It's still unclear as to why this assault took place. Could it have been the Saints' assault of several helicopters that were in the area, in a vicious vendetta only they know about. But it can only be presumed that they were somehow linked to the Sons of Samedi. Multiple aircraft were brought down, many in crowded streets, by gunfire from a car known to be owned by a prominent member of the Saints. Aircraft in the area has been temporarily grounded by Chief Troy Bradshaw.
