-Oxford - Saturday: Part 6-


Brown could feel King's eyes on him as she walked out, Tyler was more or less glaring at the back of their heads. "He's something isn't he?" she was speaking Gaelic which while still pretty well known in the world was based on an older form. Most likely would be able to pick things up but not as easily. Yet Brown was pretty sure that no matter what language they spoke in, Tyler would want it translated so he could pick up everything. Which meant that they would have to be even more careful when speaking. King paused in her footsteps, "What's wrong?" Her eyes had followed the cellphone in his hand when he looked over her and he mentally sighed.

"Lady Kyoko, no one has eyes on her." His eyes darted toward the woman's bathroom. "She left to use the restroom..." and it wasn't long after that he had felt that something was clearly wrong but it was at that moment that Tyler had to talk to him about nothing of importance. Even after doing their job and pointing him in the correct direction they were having problems.

"Why that?" her eyes once again directed towards the cell phone, it wasn't hard to know exactly what she was thinking.

It was addressed as the 3rd Eye and while it was also within their duties to a point to keep an eye on anyone with influence towards the Crown, which tended to be just the royal family members, which is also why they ended up with a Banshee in the end. To assure loyalty to the Crown, at least that was the main objective. However, Kyoko still was a special case when he thought about, well the Takarada family, in general, was a special case. "Orders"

King sighed heavily, annoyance clearly written in her eyes, "Of course. So where did she go?"

"She left me to go to the restroom," at the time he had agreed that she should be by all logic safe in the police station, but apparently that was not the case. They moved towards the woman's restroom and walked in. While Brown might be a man, who in general should not just walk inside and should have sent King in he was no longer really thinking as Brown at all, but fully as the 3rd Eye of the Ankou. His eyes trailed over the room, nothing really seemed out of place, no sign of a struggle, 'Drugged... or hit? Either way knocked out' Even they knew where to hit someone and it didn't matter if they were female or male. Of course, if not done correctly that could cause a struggle, or at least screaming. This had been sudden, he didn't think Kyoko would just easily go with someone. 'Well maybe if she knew them...' He could easily see her walking off with Tomi if she saw him, regardless of who's kid he was. Brown's eyes moved towards the trash can, as King pulled out a smaller tablet from her purse.

Moving towards the trash can he opened the lid and saw her temp phone, broken in half. Not that he expected her to keep that on in the first place. So the real question was, did the person who took her to know that they were pretending to use the phone as a tracker or did they already know that all cell phones no matter what anyone thought or believed could be traced. 'That would be bug one' he thought to pull out the two halves of the phone and pocketing them, "Tracker?" His eyes turning slightly towards King.

King leaned against the sink, "You aren't going to like this..." she sighed, "but it seems something is jamming the signal." Her fingers scrolled against the keyboards, "Based on how there hasn't been any sign of it dropping since her last known location, I'm betting this it's not an error in our system or just a bad signal, but I have someone running a double check in our system to make sure."

Brown eyes narrowed slightly as he lifted his cell phone to actually look at the text messages, there hadn't been much of anything. Junebug, at least that was the name given to this one Ankou member. Junebug didn't have any set character, they came on the same day they left. They blended in just fine, them where she last was seen, which he was of course in the police station apparently. "Where was her last known location?"

King, "Just outside, so she was likely put into a car or something. Who came?" Her eyes trailed towards him for a moment before looking back at her tablet.

"Junebug, they might still be inside." Not that he actually believed they were, but it was a possibility, just as much as it was one that they were outside checking: Anything? A single vibration and he mentally sighed. He knew that he had been expecting too much, besides if they have gotten anything by this time he would have been contacted already.

King, "How should we go about this?"

"We need to stick with our cover, protection command. While we can do this completely on our own, it still is likely to set off the local police and we can't allow that to get worse." Really, it was just that if Tyler didn't lose his job at this point, he could make it very hard for them later on and they still needed to get Heth, 'I'm sure she's being taken there now...' but if they already had a jammer up, they would likely have one up at the place they were staying at as well. 'But people always make mistakes, human nature.'

"That means one of us is staying here doesn't it..." she groaned before sighing.

Brown smiled slightly, though there wasn't much warmth in it. "Yes, you will stay here, get the video recording, try and trace the location legally."

King sighed, "I'm seriously tempted to take that man with me when I die." She muttered before handing him the tablet, "Keep me updated."


King stared at the man before her, 'How can be so...' she was already thinking of ways to make him disappear. It would be so easy, he had so many openings, his home alone would be the perfect place to disappear from, sure he had a house, but it was a rental, he had no family. The people who he could call friends all were co-workers or people who worked under him before his promotion. His car wouldn't be hard to make disappear either slowly she narrowed her eyes at his latest comment.

"She's a young girl, I'm sure she just ran away with some guy she saw." Tyler was clearly bent on dropping the subject, "She uses to men spoiling her even in groups."

"Oh is that it?" she said simply as she leaned back in her chair, "Your jealous over a teen... regardless, the sort of people that come out of the police station, do you really believe those are the sort of people she would hang around?" The moment she said the words, of course, she knew that deep down, Kyoko wouldn't care what someone did or where they came from. She would be nice to them, as long as they give her the sort of vibes that apparently Officer Mianju gave her, 'besides she seems to have an uncanny way of sensing danger... but at the same time she is rather dense...' Her mind thinking about Kurt, the guy actually had found her attractive, apparently he also had no idea she had been Marian but from what she could gather, Kyoko had been pretty clueless... and not just with Kurt but his friends.

"I see no reason to waste taxpaying money," Tyler said leaning back crossing his hands, she could see the smug look on his face.

It wasn't as if she couldn't understand. This wouldn't be something uncommon, but this wasn't just any child either. No this, was someone with connections to the royal family. Worse of all it seemed that they had ordered about this. She wondered exactly who's true orders they were following, but the more she thought about it the more she figured it would honestly be Queen's seeing as she was pretty protective over her own children and no matter how she thought about it, that whole family had become overly attached to that child. 'It's scary how easily she merged in with them' she tapped her finger against the armrest. "Waste of the taxpayer's money... for the Great Niece of the Queen Mother... who has a history of having been kidnapped..." she mused. 'Not that's exactly what happened just the story that the rest of the world thought.' A lie, that could never be allowed out or else everyone would begin to question the Royal family.

"That's far different, no one would bother to kidnap someone in front or from a police station."

"Right, just like there isn't a connection between Heth and the missing young women, who was put into police protection by Officer Mianju. Who also has been on each of those missing women cases." King could understand not wanting to believe that someone that they trusted would betray them, in her old life she had been betrayed by someone she had trusted. It had been an easy choice in her mind to kill that part of herself off. It was such a normal thing for children like her. "Tsk," she said stretching her back as she rose from her chair, "Well that's why we don't tend to bother with local law enforcement, such a pain." She could feel the anger building up again from the man before her as she turned towards the doors, "I'll make this very clear." she said looking back over her shoulder a smile playing across her features that seemed almost unnatural in nature. "Your position here is easily replaced, you are easily replaced for that matter. If you refuse to do as I tell you, I will destroy you." She said tilting her head as her smile widen, "I'm just tired of trying to play nice without making you look like the complete moron you are."

Tyler hands slammed on the desk, "Are you threatening me."

"No, it's not a threat, it's a promise." She said looking away from him as she opened the door, "I'll be taking one of the waiting rooms as my office while I'm here, be a good little boy and do as I tell you. Bring me the footage or you can explain to the Queen why you didn't wish to waste the taxpayers' money on looking for a member of her family."


Ella stared at the reflection in her handheld mirror as if she was doing her makeup, she wishes she hadn't done so. The fact that his fingers were running across Kyoko's cheek almost fondly. 'The Carp seems to like that one, well he does like his toys.' There was a bitterness that was growing but seeing her and thinking about the girl that likely was keeping those guys company. A smirk played across her lips, the idea of this Princess being put into her place, where no matter who she was being destroyed made her feel giddy inside. 'She'll shatter into a million pieces in no time, there is no place for someone like her among us.'

Ling, "You did well Cinderella Fairy Tale."

Ella turned her head around in the seat looking at Ling, the Young Master, the future Dragon of the Rozu Mafia. The shock on her face only seemed to amuse him all the more, she had spent so much time trying to remove that stupid title from her name. No one called her that, no one called her that anymore. 'I'm not a rose!' she mentally was screaming as she watched his gaze fixed on her, daring her to say something to do anything. The chill that went down her spine caused her to turn away, looking back out the window, "Anything for you, Carp" she refused to lower her head but the pull of his eyes always startled her, it was so hard to fight if her personal hate for the life she was living, her desire to climb out she might have been like any of those other foolish creatures. 'She won't survive, they never do... only I will survive. I'll do whatever it takes.'

"Have you gotten the information you were informed to get?" It was clear already in his voice that he knew the answer without her saying.

"No..."

"You best hurry then, Snake is not someone who accepts failure, it is what makes him one of my most loyal men. His heart cannot be swayed." He chuckled in such a way that it sent a shiver up her spine, one she wasn't sure if it was pleasure or fear. "Though, it seems to me that a certain someone will not be getting this pretty little thing." His voice was low but she understood what it meant, it was now also her job to make sure nothing happened to her. Heth would not be allowed to touch her, the men wouldn't be allowed to touch her. Lady Kyoko belonged to the Carp, her Young Master.
