Hey there. Sorry about not updating sooner. I would've but…well it's a REALLY long explanation so I won't bore you. Besides, I bet none of you even read this section. It's like your minds goes "Bold print, don't read it." Anyway, enjoy:

We were back at the temple. Master Fung had to stay at the station, but we came back to look for "clues" as to Ember's where-abouts. So we searched the temple. We spilt into a bunch of groups. I was in a group with Jim and no one else. Lucky me.

"Was this her room?" Jim asked pointing to the curtain covering Ember's room.

"Yes." I said, my voice barely above a whisper. I still couldn't accept this. At all. Jim violently pushed the curtain out of the way and looked through the tiny room. It was just as it was before Ember came here. Except for one thing. There was a big yellow address book sitting on the mat, starring us in the face.

Jim picked it up and opened it. He flipped through it a lot and then a small note slid out. He picked it up curiously and we read it together:

Well hello there Jim,

I guess you found me. Well almost. So go ahead, look around. I'm sure you'll find something in this here book interesting. See ya in hell.

Much love,

The Phoenix.

p.s. Did I mention that I am incredibly fascinated in mountains?

Jim looked like he wanted to crumple the note but instead placed it in a small plastic evidence bag. It was strange though. The book wasn't there when we heard Ember scream. I guess she came back. I hope she didn't steal anything else…

Jim went back to the page where the note was. He scanned the long list of names and finally found what he was looking for. Circled in bright red was the Spicer's address. And next to the circle was a little smiley face sticking its tongue out. At least that cleared up the fact that she was defiantly the one who robbed the Spicer's. But still I had my doubts. I just refused to accept this all.

"Well isn't she nice?" Jim snarled slamming the book shut. I didn't answer. I hated him putting her down like this. The fire in me just elevated and if he weren't a cop I think I would've strangled him. But I settled for glaring.

"What?" He asked. "What's so appealing about her? She's an ego maniac for one. Did you know that one time she let me capture her, just so she could melt her way out of prison? Guess we shouldn't have put her in a cell with metal." He paused for a minute, as if in deep thought. "And she doesn't own a single object that wasn't stolen. All her clothes, her possessions, even her hairbrush were all stolen. That material her clothes were made out of was a prototype. I mean you think she could create something like that on her own? Even her signature black bag is made out of the stuff. It's like she refuses to buy anything."

"Well she is a thief." It was the only thing I could think to say.

Jim just snorted in response. "But really though, what's there to like about her?"

I didn't respond at first. I turned my back to him and sullenly answered, "She was my girlfriend."

"Oh…" He said with slight sympathy in his tone. "Well I think I know where she is. It's like a game to her. She always leaves these little clues." He changed the subject.

"Where is she?" I asked, back still turned.

"I think she's heading for the Himalayas. Why else would she say something about mountains?" It made sense. The tallest mountain in the world was in the Himalayas. But why was Ember going there? I guess we would find out. We rounded up the group and set out for the journey.

-Somewhere in China. No POV.-

A fire-haired female was poorly piloting a silver unidentified flying object. To put it simply, Ember was trying to figure out how to control the silver manta ray. And she wasn't doing a very good job.

"Damn machine!" She exclaimed as she was thrown forward. Ember wasn't one for wearing seatbelts and smashed into the window. Luckily it didn't break. "How do you fly this thing?" She thought out loud.

As she fell back into the chair her brown construction boots hit the steering wheel and the vehicle started plummeting forward. With out hesitating she grabbed the wheel and shoved it forward. The wu leveled out and coasted along the clouds.

"Phew." She sighed in relief. She decided to just screw flying lessons and hurry towards the Himalayan mountains on auto-pilot. She knew the others would get the clue and she had to get there fast.

After reaching her destination she deactivated the manta ray. The she shrunk it down with the changing chopsticks and put it in her big black bag. That's how she accomplished the big "job." She shrunk everything down and stuffed it in her bag.

She climbed the snowy mountain on foot for a bit before turning into a bird, grabbing the bag in her talons, and flying for miles. What she didn't know was that she would company alot sooner than she expected.

Things will get very interesting soon. I'm still working out a few more details so updates may be slow. Anyway, I was wondering, how do you all think this will turn out? Think she'll get away? Think it was some elaborate set-up by Icicle or something? I just want to know what you think Seemingly Innocent has in store. Review on your way out. After all, why should I continue if I don't know what you think about it?
