The Dekarangers brought the six suspects to Dekabase. When Wells arrived, he was given the assignment to translate whatever is being said. Ban was to interrogate the black guy who could walk through solid matter. Hoji had to interview the blond spikehead who could create shields. Sen was to talk to the blackhaired guy, whom for as far as he knew hasn't shown an powers, but is able to read minds as well as taking thoughts away. Jasmine, who allready had to stand by and see if the suspects were telling the truth while they spoke, also had to interrogate the black-haired girl who was able to multiply herself. Umeko was told to chat with the blond girl who could change her body into whatever material she touched. And Tetsu had to interview the other blond guy, who was able to teleport. Anyone who had witnessed the interrogations would find that dispite the many times that one agent attacked his or her suspect, it all ran quite smoothly.
After a long chat with them, and after they were brought into special holding cells, the seven of them returned to the conference room, and reported.
"And?" Doggy started, "What did you find out about them?"
Hoji was the one to answer: "Well, Boss. So far, the suspects have identifies themselves merely as Jack, Sky, Bridge, Z, Syd, and Sam."
"Aliases, no doubt." Sen remarked.
"What makes you say that?" Doggy asked.
"Because they didn't even say whether that was their first or last name." Sen answered, "They didn't even mention another name, assuming they have one!"
"Also..." Jasmine started, "When asked for their names, numbers popped in their heads. One, Two, Three, Four, Five, and Six!"
"So their real names are numbers?" Umeko sounded surprised, "That's bummer!"
"And what kind of idiots are they, anyway?" Ban remarked, "All they could say was 'I just did what I was told'!"
"You should take an example from them!" Hoji remarked, "But I must say that I agree. Though they acted almost professionally, they don't seem to be quite bright."
"It's like they're only smart enough to act out their missions." Tetsu added, "But when around people, they are like five-year-olds!"
"What was their mission then?" Doggy asked.
"To eleminate Baachiyo, before he said too much." Sen answered.
Doggy seemed to have missed something: "Said, too much? What does that mean?"
"They don't know." Jasmine replied, "They only did as they were told, and asked no questions."
"Just taking assignments, and don't ask why?" Ban was very furious about this, "So they'd even kill people just because they have to! Unforgivable!"
When Ban said that, Jasmine turned to Wells. Usually, whenever anyone says that word, Wells would be making a sarcastic remark. But this time, he didn't say anything. In fact, he hadn't said a word in a while. Jasmine began wondering what he was thinking. She kept looking at him, focussed all her power onto him, and saw what he was thinking about.
"... about these guys. Why would...?" he thought, until he noticed Jasmine looking at him. Quickly, he thought about something else, hoping that Jasmine hadn't heard too much.
" 'Californication' ?" Jasmine said out loud, which got everyone to look at her, "Why are you suddenly thinking of that song?"
"I have my reasons." Wells replied, a little annoyed, "Now, if you folks don't mind, I've done what I had to. But now I must return to whatever I was doing!"
Wells turned around to leave, but Jasmine held him back: "Oh no, you're not! What are you keeping from me? From us even?"
Wells sighed. And for a moment, he stopped thinking about the aformentionned song, only so that Jasmine could hear him think: "Wish I could tell you."
Having thought that, Wells could feel Jasmine's grip on him loosening, after which he left the room. On his way out, he nearly bumped in on Shelly, who offered him something to drink, but he ignored it.
"He must be in a hurry!" Shelly remarked.
After she entered the room, holding a trey with cups of tea, she noticed the silence in the room. Nobody, aside for Doggy, understood Wells's behavious.
"What's the matter with him, all the sudden?" Umeko questionned.
"He wouldn't have anything to do with those westerners suddenly appearing?" Ban figured.
"That's crazy talk, Ban!" Umeko yelled at him.
"Think about it!" Ban explained, "Ever since he came here, the weirdest things have been happening! And now this! Six westerners suddenly appear, and he's acting all mysterious again!"
"I have to agree with Umeko on this, Ban." Hoji remarked, "But you are right about one thing. Strange things have been happening since he arrived."
"If you two have a problem to work with him, you can resign from this agency right now!" Doggy shouted furiously.
"Boss!?!" Ban couldn't believe he was hearing this, "I can't believe you're defending him!"
"And I can't believe you two must always find something wrong about him!" Doggy exclaimed.
"We don't even have to look for it!" Hoji defended himself, "There's always something wrong! I mean for instance, why was he able to calm Jasmine down when we couldn't reach her?"
"You..." Umeko was about to yell at him, "You have no right to bring that up!"
"Why won't we ask Jasmine?" Sen suggested.
"Right!" Tetsu seconded, "She knows better than any of us what happened back then!"
"So, Jasmine." Sen started, "What happened between you two back then?"
Jasmine, who had her back turned to everyone, still staring at the door through which Wells had just left, started to have tears in her eyes. Without looking at anyone, she answered: "I... I don't know anymore...!"
She too left the room, leaving everyone in the dark about how she feels.
"What's the matter with her?" Hoji wondered, as Umeko started looking at him furiously.
"He must've done something he shouldn't have!" Ban said cheerily.
