Isao's lips tightened, then he knocked the drink back. He felt the burn of the alcohol first, then the room swam. He blinked in confusion, then toppled over unconscious.

"Get her and bring them to the playroom." Onishi walked away as one of his men headed for the bar.

Mia tried to send Ryu a text, though her vision was a bit screwed up and she didn't know if she typed what she meant to. She sent it before she was grabbed. Her breathing quickened and flashbacks to her nightmares continued to play. She saw a vampire looking down at her with an evil grin and she tried to back away but she was pulled forward.

"Boss wants to meet you."

She tried to fight, but half of what she was hitting wasn't even really there.

The man pushed her into a small dungeon. Onishi lounged on a leather couch, smirking at a chained Isao.

Mia momentarily saw Isao before visions of him lying dying in the shower rushed her mind. Her breathing was fast, and she was beginning to lose track of what was real and what wasn't.

"How's the trip?" Onishi laughed as he approached her.

She stared at him for a moment, "What do you want?"

"You." He trailed a finger down her blouse suggestively.

"Keep your hands off her!" Isao yanked at the chains angrily.

Onishi gave a slow smirk. "Esteban, give the detective a dose of our newest creation. Then you can train."

A big bodybuilder approached, a syringe in hand.

Isao winced as the drug was administered. He looked puzzled as nothing happened. He was still trying to figure things out when a fist slammed into his stomach. A white hot burning enveloped him and he screamed.

Mia closed her eyes and shook her head at the sound, trying to block everything out.

Onishi attempted to kiss her, one hand pawing at her buttons.

She didn't react, trying to figure out what was really happening.

Onishi paused, staring into her blown pupils. "Damn. We'll have to wait till it wears off some. Put her in the cage."

Mia was dragged toward a cage. She tried to fight the hands on her to no avail. When she was locked up, she just sat there trembling, her mind assaulting her with visions of the past. She flashed back to when she was tied up by the Sano clan and felt the pain of being beaten over again.

Isao's screams faded to grunts, then silence.

The cage was yanked open and Mia felt something land on her.

She tried to look, but wasn't sure if she was seeing what was real.

The cage was relocked, then Onishi and his entourage disappeared.

"Are..you alright?" Isao asked with a wheezing breath.

"I-Isao?" She looked around, her eyes not seeing him.

"Right here." A hand cupped her cheek gently. "I'm sorry."

Her eyes semi focused for a moment, allowing her to see glimpses of him before her mind returned to showing him bleeding out in the shower. She let out a sob, "I don't know what's happening."

"Probably gave you LSD or something similar." He sighed as he tried to adjust his position. "I'm an idiot for bringing you here."

"But I wanted to come.." she said quietly, curling in on herself and closing her eyes.

"You didn't want to get drugged." He shifted off of her, then shook as a bout of coughing caused him to get a bloody palm. He quickly curled the hand, not wanting to worry her.

"I keep seeing all my nightmares.. being taken by vampires, being beaten, seeing you dying.." she trembled. "I don't know what's real.."

A hand began to run through her hair. "This is real. My voice is real. Focus on those things."

She nodded slowly, "I'm sorry.."

"Whatever for?" He watched her worriedly.

"I'm just so confused.. But you sound hurt and I can't focus enough to help you."

"I'm fine. Nothing to worry about." He thanked the stars she couldn't call him out on his lying.

She nodded slowly, curling up more as her mind kept playing tricks on her.

Isao started to sing softly, his hand continuing to run through her hair soothingly.

She relaxed slightly but kept her eyes closed.

Isao felt pressure building in his chest, but forced his voice calm. His hand slowed its movement, then his voice went quiet.

"Isao..?"

The cage rattled as it was yanked open. The hand in her hair disappeared.

She opened her eyes, trying to focus on what was happening.

"He's worthless. Toss him in the dumpster. Hide the car. We'll take her with us."

She let out a small sob.

"Don't worry, pretty one." Onishi whispered. "You'll forget all about him in a few days."

She stayed quiet, looking up at Onishi. Her vision was still a bit off, but she was beginning to tell what was real and what wasn't.

"Mia.." Isao's voice was barely audible, lying crumpled near the cage. "Run…"

She slowly began moving toward the cage door.

Onishi snarled, going to Isao and savagely kicking him in the head.

Isao jerked then went deathly still.

The drug dealer began to reapproach her, then froze as one of his men flew through the entrance enveloped in blue flame.

Mia moved slowly from the cage, trying to get to Isao's side.

Quinn stalked into the room, one hand completely encased in flame. His eyes glowed as he took in the scene. "Release them or die painfully."

Onishi started to say something, then thought better of it. He waved his men away from Isao and backed away from Mia, raising his hands.
