Alright. I'll try my best to keep this going. But I think I'm going to make it shorter than the others. I'm sorry but I have to figure a new plan and didn't want you all to think I was going to cancel when I didn't post in so long. Let's see if I can get the Weiss boys to act more like themselves now. It's so funny because my first fic from so long ago, I was better at keeping them alive. Anyway let's keep moving on and hopefully I'll finish this chapter. OHHHHH and Vanessa THANK YOU! I didn't even notice I did that. Silly ghost writer in me. I'm giving things away!!!!!

Chapter Four

Ken paced back and forth in the basement of the flower shop. He bit on his lower lip before turning and starting his walk back to the other side of the room. It had been four hours since they got back and he didn't understand what was taking Manx so long to get there. They contacted her on the way home which would have made her arrival time ever sooner. But, now, as the minutes clicked on, Manx wasn't there. Ken ran his fingers through his hair and stood by the couch. "What is taking her so long? Who knows what they could have done to Omi by now!"

Aya growled from his position by the stairs. He grew tired of Ken's fits and pacing. "Shut up and sit down," he barked, glaring at Ken. Ken mumbled something to himself before sitting down on the couch opposite of Yoji sitting on the other couch. Aya shook his head and went back to his emotionless state. He never found anything easier by showing emotions. Not with Ken and Omi on the team. Ken had enough worry and concern to supply half the world's population. And, of course, Omi's happy nature was a bit too much for everyone in the world to handle. Aya sighed and glanced up the stairs, hoping to see the door open, but it didn't. He agreed; Manx was really late. He closed his eyes again and returned to his half listening state. Then, a sudden thought occurred to him. Maybe this had to do with Omi's real family. He was kidnapped by his brother before. Though it was impossible to be one of his brothers now, but who knows who else found out about Omi. The smell of cigarette smoke interrupted him as he looked over at Yoji.

Yoji was calmer than Ken, but couldn't stop his emotions from slightly showing. He took another drag from his tenth cigarette and blew it accidentally towards Aya. He gave him a slight smile of apology before putting it out. He remembered quite well the expression Aya had when Ken told him about Omi's first kidnapping. A slight worry flashed before he hid it carefully behind his masks. When they arrived at the place where Omi was being held by his brother, Aya, of course, wanted them to wait a few minutes before entering just in case Omi switched sides on them. Now, the young man was being held again. He couldn't even imagine what was going through his mind. He wondered if Omi was scared or was he playing brave for Cindi's sake.

Suddenly the door opened, revealing Manx. "Sorry it took me so long. There were a few things I wanted to check out."

"Like?"

Manx sighed and sat down. "Well you know all of Omi's brothers are dead. Persia and I waited near his father to see if Mamoru was the target, but no one called."

"You think his brothers revealed his identity to anyone?"

"It's possible. Persia is keeping an ear out. But, let's talk about this robbery. Of course, they were hooded so none of the cameras could identify them. The police have no leads so they contacted the media and gave them Omi's and Cindi's pictures. So, tell me how they acted."

"Clearly not there to get in and out with the money," Yoji stated, lighting another cigarette.

"Nothing worried them. Not even the old man having a heart attack, or Omi standing up to them. They were professionals. How's the man, anyway?" Ken asked.

"He's going to be fine. I have a couple agents posted near those two and the other tellers."

"It was an inside job," Aya spoke suddenly.

"I thought you might say that. I agree for several reasons. First, they knew the exact location of the hidden camera and the fact that one of tellers was on break. They cleaned out her drawer too. Then there's their escape route. Unknown to police, they slipped through a passageway that led them out back behind a dumpster. Then, they must have gone into the sewers. That's the only place they could have gotten to without alerting the police."

"They could be anywhere in the city by now." Ken placed his head in his hands.

"Manx, if it had nothing to do with the Takatori's, why would they take Omi?"

"That's what we were thinking about. Height wise, I don't know how those robbers fit through the passageway. Omi and Cindi would have passed through easily. You three probably would have had difficulty. The other tellers could have fit through as well so that really doesn't say much. But, there's the fact that he made an outburst. If he didn't say anything, I wonder if they would have left him alone. So, it's hard to figure out if Omi was the target. We're doing a background check on Cindi now to see if maybe she was more than she seemed."

"What about Omi's accident?" Aya asked, finally moving off his perch and over to the couch.

"We haven't concluded what that was all about. Omi still refused to talk about it and nothing showed that he hit anything. He could have lost control. As if it's link to this, who knows. Without really knowing what happened that night, it makes it difficult.

Suddenly, Ken jumps up as if the couch he was sitting on was on fire. "His tracking device!"

"What?"

Manx's eyes widened. "Was he wearing it?"

"He doesn't leave home without it. Not ever since he got lucky you saw Schuldig taking him. It's deactivated unless he activates it." Ken moved over to the computer.

"Is it in an area they wouldn't look?"

"Um, I hope so," Ken nervously commented with a slight blush.

"Did he actually take my advice and put it there?" Yoji asked with a slight laugh.

"He didn't want to hide it in his hair anymore."

"His hair! The one robber was playing with his hair," Aya commented, walking over to Ken.

Ken looked back at him. "You're right." The computer screen popped up and flashed red. "He hasn't activated it yet."

"I'll have an agent watching it. In the mean time, you three get some rest, and I'll see if we can investigate Omi's bike again. If you say one of the robbers was playing with his hair, it could mean that Omi, the assassin, is the target and not Mamoru. I'll be in touch." Manx walked up the stairs, leaving the boys to stare at each other.

"I'll take the first watch. You two try to get some sleep," Ken said, turning back to the screen. He didn't want to waste any time if Omi managed to reach the tracker. The other two nodded and decided to sleep on the two couches in the basement rather than their beds. They, too, wished to move as quickly as possible.
