Sojun stood at the end of the driveway with Shinji. Shinji was doing radio check and making sure everyone was in place. Urahara and Sasakibe checked in. Love and Rose checked in. Kyoraku checked in. The medical team checked in. Shinji was waiting for the final check. "Team KT,' he said as Sojun was listening also.
"KT check," voice came over. Shinji smiled as he looked at Sojun.
"Captain, remember, DO NOT GO IN THAT HOUSE", Shinji said as he took his index finger and poked him in his shoulder. I told Captain T to shoot you if you start to go in the house", Shinji looked at Sojun with the most serious look, "Let her do her job. This is not our last job so don't get cocky." Shinji pulled Sojun close to him so that whispered in his ear.
"Don't get her killed with your foolish acts."
Sojun looked at Shinji and nodded that he understood. Shinji gave Sojun a liquor bottle. Sojun gargled with the liquor and pour a little on his coat. He poured the rest out until it was enough to take a couple of swigs if needed.
"I'm ready," Sojun said as he looked at the driveway and started his walk.
Shinji informed everyone that Sojun is on his way. Everyone understood that they had to check in when they had eyes on Sojun. Team KT, which was three-fourth of a mile behind start to adjust their scopes.
"Wind, point two miles and visibility, six," Kensai whispered to Celeste. She started to make adjustments on her scope. Lisa stood behind them looking for Sojun and also protecting Kensai and Celeste. She was aware of her surrounding and was looking for an escape routed if needed. Both she and Kensai had heat and night binoculars looking to see if Sojun was on course and if anyone outside of the group was to ambush him on his way to the house. Any noise from the group would end the mission.
"House check," Shinji said.
"Two," Lisa said, "but only movement of one." Lisa continued to look, "possible incapacitated or deceased. Temp low. I am looking at body temp of below eighty degrees on the incapacitated one."
Shinji listened as Lisa reported her observation. He is dumping a body, Shinji thought. He feels that Sosuke is at his most dangerous level and Sojun knows it also.

The Boss sat at his desk listening to the banter in Kiel, Germany. Sitting with him was Helen Ichimaru, Gina's and Renji's grandmother. She was interested in Celeste's group because she was once the sniper for the group and Celeste was her partner. She trained her to take over her position when Gin and Renji came to live with her. She wanted to be there full time for them.
"I think there is a dead body in that house. Lisa stated no movement from one, body temperature below eighty. I really hope Sojun states on script," Helen stated as she placed her hand on top of Genryusai Yamamoto.
"I am glad Celeste is with him. She has always been good for him," The Boss said as stroked his beard. "If it was not for her, I would have lost him a while back.
He leaned over to speak to his guard next to him. He bowed and left. Helen looked at her friend and asked what was going on.
"I am calling in Ruyken Ishida and his wife Kanae. I want them to assist with the interview of Hanna Aizen. Their group has completed their mission and now it has led them to the Aizen family. If this task is successful, part of the problem is eliminated," The Boss said as he continued to watch to look at the screen. He is thinking this is the end of the Aizen name and family.
-#-
Kaname sat in the communication room looking at a satellite of the mission. The Boss gave him and Renji access to the satellite feed. He had tapped into the audio feed and he heard Shinji checking with groups. He rubbed his hands together and let out a big sigh.
"It is kind of rough for you, isn't Kaname?" Ukitake said from behind him.
Kaname turned and looked at Ukitake who was looking at him. He saw the worry in Kaname's eyes. He place a hand on his shoulder and sat down beside him.
"Not only is your fiancé in the field but Celeste and Sojun are there too. Three important people in your life. What are you thinking now because I need to make sure you are head is in the right place."
Before Kaname spoke, a voice of a drunken man sing a song that everyone recognized that only Sojun knew the words to. Kyoraku was heard whispering in everyone's earpiece 'of all the songs' as he knew Sojun heard him. It was his que that he was close to the house. Ukitake and Kaname had a knots in their stomachs.
"It does not get any easier as time goes on." Ukitake held Kaname's hand as they continued to watch the screen.

Sojun was about a one hundred feet from the front door when Kensai said that he has movement near the front door. Sojun hurried to get to the tree where he knew Sosuke would hear him and see him.
He watched as Sosuke struggled carrying what appeared to be a body in a bag to a wheel barrel at the bottom of the steps. Sojun took a deep breath as he began to speak.
"Hello Sosuke," Sojun said with a slur as though he was inebriated. He started to stumble as he came out the shadows. "What you got there, Sosuke." Sojun gave a laugh that started to annoy Aizen because he knew exactly what was going on.
"Uncle Sojun, what are you doing here," Sosuke said as he nervously looked at Sojun. "How did you know about this place? Aunt Hanna said you did not know about this place."
Shinji was listening as Kensai and Celeste watched Aizen. Lisa was watching Sojun. They were the only ones who were allowed to speak. Kyoraku, who was the closest to the two that could see that Aizen had his hand near the body bag. He pulled out his binoculars to see what Aizen was reaching for on the body.
"Don't get to close to him Sojun. This is your game not his," Kyoraku whispered to himself.
Shinji said 'Eyes'. Kensai spoke and stated someone getting ready to push Aizen to attack. He saw Sojun started to waiver. He was adlibbing.
"Celeste stay focused," Kensai told her. "Stay focused." Kensai knew her nerves could get the best of her but it was his job to keep her head in the game.
Sosuke and Sojun continued to talk. He noticed that Sojun was drunk and that he had the upper hand. He felt he could over power him. He thought once he had Sojun tied up, he would make him sign his fortune over to him and Hanna. Then he would kill him. He smiled as he spoke.
Sojun, you never told me how you found this place. I mean how did you know?"
Sojun laughed and said, "How did I know? You expect me to pay the taxes on this," he started to turn around and point to all the land, "and not come and see it. I mean, technically, this is my land and that," he pointed at the house, "is my house." Sojun laughed as he took a drink from the bottle. "Now, I am going to ask you to leave my property."
Aizen looked at Sojun as he tried to reach for something on the body bag. He was still continuing to talk to Sojun to keep him occupied.
"Where is my Aunt Hanna?" Aizen asked and he turned his back to him looked at the hunting knife on the body bag. He picked up a hunting knife very slow and easy and placed it behind his back. "I have not heard from her in weeks. She hasn't called me or text me." His voice changed ever so lightly that Sojun heard the difference.
Sojun was about to push Aizen to get him in position. Everyone listen knew this was the moment that Sojun decided that Aizen would attack. A long silence was heard before Sojun spoke.
"Hanna," he paused with a little chuckle, "she's dead."
Aizen turned around looking at Sojun. Sojun has a smile that truly set Aizen off. He pulled the knife and screamed. He had murder in eyes. He pointed the knife at Sojun. At the same time Sojun pointed a gun at Aizen.
"Did you truly think I would come here without some protection?" Sojun said as his hand started to shake a little. "I see you have not changed your murderous ways. I know about the little dumping ground you have over there," he did a slight head movement to his right. "I know what goes on in there," he pointed at the house. "You and 'your Aunt'", he laughed as he got a little closer to him, "you and your Aunt," he looked at Aizen with a smirk as he prepared for contact, "I got to ask," Sojun smiled, "was she any good in bed?"
Aizen ran at Sojun yelling at a very fast speed. It happened faster than Sojun thought. He kicked the gun out of Sojun's hand and attempted to stab him with the knife. Sojun was able to block it. He twisted Aizen's hand so the he could drop the knife. Aizen dropped it but Sojun's hand got cut in the process. He swung at Aizen and connected with his jaw. Sojun hit him hard enough that he heard bone crack. It did not stop Aizen. They were in a hand to hand fight.
-#-
Kensai told Celeste to get ready. Shinji told everyone to be ready. Unohana balled her fist as she heard Sojun struggle with Aizen. Kaname and Ukitake were transfixed looking at the monitor and listening to the audio of the struggle. The Boss and Hellen were holding their breath.
-#-
Sojun almost had the best of Aizen until he pushed him on the wheel barrel with the body. The body and Sojun both fell to the ground. Aizen kicked him in his side which Sojun moaned from the pain but he would not stop.
"You killed my Mother!" he yelled at Sojun. He kicked him a second time but Sojun caught his foot and was able to twist it and knock Aizen off balance. His head hit the ground near some oversized garden rocks. As both men lay on the ground, Sojun saw his gun. He started to crawl towards the gun. Aizen also saw the gun. He knew he had to stop Sojun. Aizen struggled to get off the ground but he staggered toward the gun. He decided to pick up one of the big rocks. He struggled to raise it over head and drop it on Sojun. He let the rock go and it landed on Sojun's leg. Sojun screamed but he continued to crawl. Aizen stumbled and reached for the gun as Sojun reached for it also. The two struggled and rolled on the ground. Lisa, Kensai and Kyoraku could not tell who had the gun. Suddenly Aizen started to stand as he and Sojun still struggled for possession of the gun.
"Celeste take your shot," Kensai said.
Suddenly, everyone heard two shots simultaneously.
Silence was heard over the airwaves.
