Mai Taniyama walked to work like every other day. When Mai got close SPR building she seen a woman outside smoking. But when Mai got closer she know who it was, it was Aaliyah. "Hi Aaliyah good morning." "Good morning Mai." Aaliyah put out her smoke. "I wouldn't have thought you would the smoker type." Aaliyah looked at Mai "a year ago I never smoked." "So you have been smoking for a year." Aaliyah looked down at the ground "yes." Mai looked at the door of the SPR building, "why are you here at is time? You said 11 a.m. right?" Aaliyah looked back at Mai "yes you are right, I couldn't sleep. I just got here anyway."
Mai looked at Aaliyah and she looked a little cold. "Could you like some tea Aaliyah?" "I would like some coffee if that is ok." Mai just smiled "that is fine." Mai and Aaliyah walked in the building to go to the waiting room. Mai made tea for Naru when he got here and made coffee for Aaliyah. Mai walked to Aaliyah and handed Aaliyah her coffee. "Thank you Mai it good." Mai smiled "your welcome." Mai was going to ask Aaliyah about Naru and Gene, but the door open it was Naru and Lin. Naru looked at Aaliyah " o god why are you here? It not 11 yet." Aaliyah looked at Naru "good morning to you to Naru. It not like you are some raise of fucking sunshine. Good morning Lin."
Lin looked at Aaliyah "good morning Aaliyah." Mai walked up to Naru with his tea "good morning Naru, here is your tea." Naru looked down at Mai "thank you Mai, good morning." Aaliyah couldn't help it "I see you can say good morning to her but not me. You are the devil." She just smiled at Naru. Naru left to go to his office with his tea. Aaliyah was drinking her coffee "Mai can I go out on the balcony so I can smoke?" Mai looked at Aaliyah "sure, can I go out with you?" Aaliyah smiled knowing what Mai wanted. "Sure you can, I know you are dying to know about Naru, Gene and Lin childhood." Mai wounded if Aaliyah could read minds to. They walked out on the balcony and sit on two long chairs facing each other.
"So what do you what to know?" Mai looked at her "anything you want to tell me." Aaliyah lighted a smoke hen looked at Mai, "where to start, well we will start at the beginning. Gene and Naru are six's mouths younger then me. Gene was smart, sweet, loving, and had love for life. Naru he is smart, can be sweet when he wants to be, now if Naru love life I not really sure. When Naru was 6 years olds he pushed everyone away. With all that power he didn't know what to do. I think he the way he is is because with all that power and he can't use it because if he does his body will shut down or die. I would be mad to. Lin lived with the Davis family when he was 12 years old, the boys and where 6. You know that Lin helped Naru with his powers. Gene and I dated when he was 13 years old and I was almost 14 years old. We got married when he was 16 years old and I turn 17 years old. Then he went missing a year ago."
Mai feel's sorry for Aaliyah married for a year and her husband went missing. "I 'am so sorry about Gene." Aaliyah looked at Mai, "it ok, I hoped he would come back to me, but then I realized how cruel hope can be, and then I wanted it to stop, not for his family's sake but for my heart." Aaliyah was almost to tears. Mai seen it so "I am so sorry Aaliyah you don't need to tell me no more." Aaliyah hold her tears back "we can talk about it some other time." Mai touch Aaliyah shoulder "whenever you are ready."
Mai and Aaliyah heard some people coming in the waiting room, it is the group. "So Mai ready to get the show on the road?" Mai smiled and they walked inside, when they walked inside everyone was looked at Aaliyah. Aaliyah knew what they wanted to know. "What are you guys looking at me for?" Masako walked up to Aaliyah and said "what is your bloodline made of? Tell us now?" Aaliyah said in a low voice, "SHIT."
