I watch in boredom as the Bidders sit around the poker table they have set up in the lounge.
What exactly was I waiting for? Savanna to come in and deliver the message.
When I switch the hidden cameras I had installed in the hallway outside the lounge, I find none other than the one person I didn't want to see yet.
I grab my trench coat, turning off the camera feed, and book it out of there, running toward the lounge.

I stood there in the doorway, not one of the bidders noticing.
"Who's winning?" my voice modifier made me sound strangely like Scarlet. Odd.
"Scar-" Soryu says turning toward me. He stops and stares at me, "Who the hell are you?!" he says.
I reply, "Obsidian. Friend of a friend." I continue despite the building tension in the room.
"Soryu, Baba, Ota, Mamoru, and Eisuke. Nice to meet you all. Now where is the woman that usually hangs around you?" I ask, smiling, because they didn't know that I did know that Scarlet hangs around them. Okay Alex time to put on your poker face.
They look at me like I am some sort of villain from those black and white movies, sitting there twirling my mustache, trying to find a way to steal some girls virtue.
Uh thanks but no. I do not particularly care for that look.
"I don't care who you are, you shouldn't have come here." Eisuke, who I knew was the owner of the auction, dials someone on his phone.
Before he can raise his phone to his ear, one knife is lodged in it.
I smirk, "Those pesky phones. Always dropping calls."
Before I can react or even realize that someone was behind me, there is a knife to my throat, and I wonder who wraps a hand around my upper arm.
"Hello everyone." she says, then something jabs into my neck, knocking me out cold.

I felt bad for making Alex sleep, and at the same time I was oddly proud of her for her aim.
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!" Baba shouts in sync with Ota.
I make sure my hood is on before I step over my sleeping sister.
"Soryu, I have come to take the deal." I say turning my head to look at Alex.
"And who is she?" Mamoru asks, flicking his cigarette into the ashtray, obviously meaning Alex.
I shrug, "Dead." the lie hurt. I really did figure into the equation at some point, Alex hating me. But I was doing this mostly for her.
And believe me when I say, pissed is too much of an understatement to what she is going to once she wakes up.
