Hello everyone it's me with another chapter. I'm sorry for being late, my chapter for the other story I'm writing on took forever to write. I would have posted yesterday but I was at a Writer's Conference, and it was my birthday so yeah. Anyway I hope you like it and I'll see you next time.

An hour later a small platoon of soldiers came to the house. Luckily I knew a few of them and the three assassins were handled with care. Since I was the one that vouched for them I had to go with them. I turned to Gray.
"Hey could you tell Erza and Wendy what happen?" I asked him.
"Sure but what am I supposed to say to Lucy when we show up and you're not there?" He asked.
"Just tell her I had to give my statement to the Army."
"Alright you better get home at a reasonable time." He said. I nodded and went out to the carriage. A few hours later we arrived at Crocus. They led us to the prison, I was taken to the main office where I met up with the General.
"Hello everyone I hope you had a safe trip getting here." The General said. Mason Lock or the General as many call him is a thirty-eight year old married man. He is the father of three children ages ranging from 11 to 8 years old. A physical description of the man is that he has a shiny bald head. He has a small brown mustache that curls at the end. He is 6'3, with average size muscles. He's more of a strategist with an I.Q. of 139. His clothes are a blue button up military coat, with black pants and boots. When I had met him he was a lowly Colonel that didn't have much going for him but you all know how I work my magic. I helped him out and now he's the happiest he's ever been. Of course it was a little awkward being an eight year old wing man but I made it work. And as you know the rest is history. I sometimes keep in touch with him when I have the time. Anyway back to the story.
"Well the ride could have been better but I guess you couldn't do any better." I said with a smirk.
"Hello to you to Natsu, I'm sorry that your ride was so miserable but I knew you were going on it so I thought I'd give you a little welcome." he said.
"Well jokes on you because I don't get as sick as I used to." I said.
"I can see that. So how has life treated you these past few years?"
"Well in the past few years I have been taking it easy. I married my dream girl and now I have three month old son and daughter. I can honestly say that I have been truly happy these past few years." I said with a sincere smile.
"It sounds like you have had it good for the past few years. Anyway what's the story with these three?" he asked getting down to business. I told him their story. At the end of the story I could tell he was going to let them go.
"I will have to keep them overnight as you know but after that they are all yours."
"Thank you."
"I take it you already have a place set up for them."
"Well I know someone that will get a place for them. Don't worry I'll keep then on the straight and narrow."
"It's too bad we can't save more of them before they become more brainwashed."
"I know, and I think I came up with a solution to that problem." I said leaning forward.
"Oh and what do you have in mind?" he asked leaning in as well.
Later that night I was given a room in a nice hotel. The room service was alright but nothing to brag about. After taking a shower I sat down on my bed and grabbed my communication lacrama. After a few rings she finally picked.
"Hello?" A female voice said.
"Hey Luce it's me." I said.
"Oh so you finally decide to call. Where are you?" 'Great she's angry. Not that I blame her.' I thought to myself.
"I'm at the capital." I said carefully.
"Why?"
"I had to give my side of what happened during the mission."
"And it takes you all day?"
"Well…" I said not knowing what say.
"Well?" she said. I could hear her anger rising.
"I'm sorry but it's a top secret mission. You know I would tell you if I could." I said hoping she would.
"…I guess. I just wished you would have called sooner that's all."
"I know I'm sorry…How are the twins?" I asked trying to get onto a safer topic.
"Well they're doing relatively fine. They miss you though."
"I figured as much. Have they been giving much trouble?"
"They still wake me up at night but that's to be expected. When are you coming home?"
"I should be home tomorrow."
"At what time are you going to be home?"
"I don't know precisely. I'm going to have to make a few calls and get some things set up, but after that I'm free to go." I said trying to cheer her up.
"Okay… (Baby cries) I got to go." She said.
"Alright I love you and I'll see you tomorrow."
"Love you too bye." she said and hung up. I looked at the lacrama for a while and then dialed another number.
"Hey it's me; yeah I need to talk to you." I said to the person on the other side.
The next day I went the prison and picked up the three siblings. I took then to the train station where we met up with an old friend of mine.
"Hello Liam it's been a while." I said to the man next to me.
"Yes it has. So you have some new recruits I see." He said glancing over the three.
"Yeah, do you think they will be excellent additions for your group?"
"If they train hard and want to learn. Then yes they will and since they already been through her training; I have no doubt they will succeed."
"Good." I said turning to the small family.
"Now listen up you three will be going with Mr. Liam to a small village called Wallsworth, there you will learn a trade that you have a talent for and from then on you will be able to get a job of your trade anywhere in the village. This is your ticket to get a new life; I hope you use it wisely."
"Why are you doing this?" The one called Ryou asked.
"Your sister will tell you all the details. A shorten version as to why I'm helping you is because I know what it is like to be in your position, and if I hadn't gotten help when I did I would still be in that position. I'm just trying to save from a life of sadness and despair. Now you better get a move on or you'll miss your train." I said as the conductor yelled for the passengers to get on. The group started to walk away but the girl stopped and ran back. She hugged me tightly.
"Thank you for all that you have done." She whispered.
"Your welcome. You better get going before you're late." I said gently. She nodded wiping her tears away and ran back to her group. I watched as they got on the train and waved at me when the train started to go. I waved back and disappeared into the crowd.
