Me and Nadia were enjoying food at Yu-wan's restaurant; Today was Yu-wan's special, I'm not a big fan of it but Nadia loves it, so of course I do it for her. While we were enjoying our meals, Nadia stops. Her ears twitch and she looks over the window.

"What's wrong Nadia?"

"I hear motorcycles coming this way."

"It's probably just a biker gang passing by."

"No… I know who they are."

"Huh?"

"The Black Egrets."

"What? Why are the black egrets here?"

"They most likely want us."

"Minette, Yu-wan would you excuse us."

Me and Nadia leave the restaurant; we jump to the Little Innsmouth Bridge. The leader of the Egrets Parasoul and her Egrets stand a few feet away from us. Parasoul gets off her bike.

"You're under arrest."

"I thought we put an end to the Cat and Mouse game."

"Not you,"

Parasoul points at me.

"Him."

"What the hell did I do?"

"You're under arrest for the destruction of the Medici tower, along with the buildings that where effected by it."

I'm glad she didn't say anything about manslaughter because if she did… ugh, now's not the time to think about that.

"How did you find out?"

"Two people who will remain anonymous told us about the person destroyed the building, that person being you."

So, it looks like those bastards are still alive.

"And I'm guessing you shortly arrested the two after they spilled the beans?"

"Yes, that would be correct."

"You're too kind, but I refuse to be arrested."

"Then you leave me no choice… Black Egrets Charge!"

Parasoul's troops charge at me and Nadia. Nadia jumps over the Egrets and goes after Parasoul; I am left to deal with the rest of them. I get a few good blows on some of the Egrets, these guys are too easy.

This should be no problem.

I quickly glance over at Nadia, who is being beaten by Parasoul mercilessly.

"NADIA, NO!"

I punch an Egret and try to go help Nadia, but an Egret catches me off guard and cuffs me.

"You're not going anywhere!"

The Egret punches me, I go down to my knees and I am forced to watch Nadia get beaten by Parasoul. When Nadia sees me cuffed she quickly runs to me but Parasoul shoots a napalm bomb at her head and she is knocked out.

"NO NADIA!"

No… not like this… not now…

"Alert the Canine Squad."

I can only close my eyes as the Egrets chuckle to the remark.

The words and images of times that I had spent with Nadia echo inside my head, only just a few months and we've already done so much, and to think, it all ends because of this bitch… SCREW THIS, I AIN'T LETTING HER WIN!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

I quickly break the cuffs, the egret soldiers try to stop me, it's no use, I punch an egret and begin charging at Parasoul. She tries to undercut me but I quickly knock her leg aside, throwing her off balance. I uppercut her and send her flying. I jump and grab Parasoul's head and smash her head down to the ground. I quickly get up and see the Egrets, who are now scared of my strength. I can see them shaking at me, drawing their guns in pure fear. I noticed that the Egrets stopped shaking I knew she was behind me. It's time to deliver the killing blow, I Charge my attack and turn; DAMNIT G SNAP OUT OF IT. I quickly move my fist to right beside her face so that the punch doesn't land on her face and kill her… you're not a killer G…

"Parasoul… I'm no killer, but I need to protect the people that I love."

"I understand, it's not like you to be a killer…"

"How do you know that?"

"Do you recall the theater, when you bumped into a total stranger?"

I nodded

"Well… that was me."

Nadia was right!

"Yes, I went to watch that movie for a little girl."

Parasoul turns to her lackeys .

"Egrets, stand down."

"Aren't you going to arrest me?"

"I want to know why you destroyed the tower."

"They forced me into their family. If I didn't comply, I was good as dead. I was forced to kill, harm… even maim innocent people. I longed for my revenge. A year later, Me and Ms. Fortune destroyed the mafia and the building so that no other mafia will take its place. I knew what I was getting myself into when I destroyed that building."

"I'm surprised that the two of you put such a… 'Permanent' stop to the Mafia."

"And yet, you came here to arrest Nadia and Myself."

"I didn't think it would be you and Ms. Fortune."

"I can understand that."

Parasoul walks closer to me and hands me a two-way radio.

"A radio, why would I need this?"

"I can tell that you'll be involved in something much bigger in the future, should that ever happen; contact us and we will consider helping you."

"Let's hope nothing that big DOES happen again."

"Agreed, However..."

"Yeah…"

"Should you get yourself in that big of a situation trouble again…?"

"I will be arrested no questions asked?"

"You learn quickly G."

"I only ask for one thing; should I get myself into trouble. I would like for you to contact me on this radio because you never know, it might not be me."

"That would save us some time, should that ever happen."

"So, you're just going to spare me and Nadia?"

"This time yes, but like I said, should you ever get yourself into trouble without contacting me, you will face more severe consequences."

"It's a deal Parasoul."

I shake her hand in the agreement of the deal. Parasoul and her Egrets get on their motorcycles and leave little innsmouth. I quickly run to Nadia, I grab her.

"NADIA GET UP!"

I shake her, trying to get her conscience again, Nadia Gently opens her eyes and looks at me, she gently smiles.

"Nadia… I'm glad you're ok."

I gently put my hand on her cheek; I give her a kiss.

"Can you walk Nadia?"

"Ye-yeah barely though."

Nadia gets back on her feet; she quickly grabs my arm and sees the broken cuffs on my hands. She stares at them for a few seconds; I can only be ashamed of this. I just wish I could have done better than what actually happened.

"G… what happened?"

"I'll tell you later Nadia."

Nadia could barely walk; I didn't want her to walk all the way back so I decided to carry her.

"Come on Nadia, I'll take you back to my place you can rest there."

"But what about Mew-nyan?"

"I'll tell him about your condition Nadia right now you need to rest you did take a beating after all."

I took Nadia to my apartment. I put her on my bed and she began to rest, I gave her some time alone. I had to go check back at Yu-wan and Minette. I enter the restaurant. Minette comes running to me.

"G!"

She hugs me. I looked at Yu-wan; he was a bit scared.

"Where's Nadia?"

"She's in my apartment resting."

Minette got even more scared.

"Will she be ok?"

"Of course she will Minette, don't worry she just needs to rest."

"Can I come with you to check on Nadia?"

"Of course."

I knew Minette would want to check up on Nadia so I didn't want to argue with her. While we were walking to my apartment Minette asked me what had happened, I explained to her what happened she got really scared when I said that Nadia was knocked out by Parasoul but I did tell her that I was able to save myself and Nadia.

"So that would explain why you have the cuffs on your hands."

"Yeah, I didn't think I would ever break these… I guess I've gotten stronger."

"I have noticed that you've been changing since you got here."

"Well since I'm always with Nadia all the time she's been keeping me active."

"I'm glad that Nadia has someone like you."

"I'm glad that Nadia has a best friend like you."

Minette is a bit shocked of my statement but I can honestly see why, Minette blushes a little.

"Re… really?"

"Yeah, you mean the whole world to her; she will never forget you or Yu-wan."

"I know that Nadia would never ditch us."

"You and Yu-wan are like Family to her."

Having this conversation with Minette really calmed her down. We arrived at my apartment we go straight to the bedroom, Nadia is there resting, Minette runs to Nadia and hugs her.

"NADIA!"

"Whoa, easy Minette."

"I'm sorry I can't help it."

I couldn't help but chuckle at that. Minette Stayed with me and Nadia all night and she even helped treating some of our wounds. I look at the time and I see that it was getting late.

"Man, it's getting late."

"Is it that late already?"

"Don't you work early tomorrow Minette?"

"Yes, I do but I wanna stay here with you and Nadia."

"Minette, we're tired, and we would like to rest, we can handle ourselves."

"Ok, if you say so."

I knew she was disappointed I have to make it up for her.

"You know Tomorrow You, Me and Nadia could do something fun tomorrow"

"Like what?"

"How about we talk it over while we walk"

"What?"

"I ain't letting you walk all by yourself not at this time"

"Oh, thank you G."

"No problem."

While I walked with Minette to her house we talked about planning our day tomorrow with her, she works the early shift so we should start the day off with lunch at Yu-wan's. While we talked Minette got very excited she's now really anticipating tomorrow.

After I walked Minette back to her house, I go back to my apartment. I go to the bedroom and I see Nadia lying in my bed holding a box and watching TV.

"Well this is something I don't usually see, Nadia Fortune watching TV."

"Well my gang used to have a TV; we'd only watch the news."

"I see."

I guess there gang usually saw what to steal on TV and to also celebrate when the news states that nobody knows who stole this valuable item. I lay on my side of the bed and get comfy the news was talking about weather, after the news finished on the weather forecast the news then brings up something interesting

"Our last story of tonight is gonna end on a good note tonight. The person reasonable for the death of the Medici's and the destruction of the building has been caught and arrested thanks to the efforts of the Black Egrets."

The news continued on that story, but for me all I saw was my get out of jail free card being in use thanks to Parasoul.

When the news was done for today I turned off the TV and I look at Nadia.

"Nadia what's in the box?"

"It's a present for you."

She hands me the box, I grab it and I open the present. Inside was a necklace I take a closer look at the necklace and I notice it's the Fish Bone Gang's Necklace.

"This is the Fish Bone Gang's Necklace."

"It belonged to the leader of our gang; He gave it to me before we headed out to steal the life gem."

Ouch, that's gotta hurt.

"Why are you giving this to me?"

"That Necklace is very special to me; I wanted to give it to you since you're also very special to me"

"I…Don't derisive this Nadia"

"Meow?"

"Nadia I was gonna ask you to teach me the ways of being a thief because I could be faster and stronger that way because then the egrets wouldn't hav…"

Nadia cut me off by scratching my face.

"AH! What was that for?"

"I'm not letting you be a thief."

"Why not."

"Because I don't wanna lose you like I lost my gang, G I'm scared of losing you or any of my friends, I don't wanna lose anyone that I love especially you G."

I go Silent I had to digest what she just said, I wear the necklace but still I'm silent I have nothing to say to her I just… don't know the words... what am I saying I know the words.

Nadia gets closer to me she was a little concerned.

"G?"

I take one look at her and I know exactly what to do now, I give her a kiss, but then that kiss turns into a very passionate kiss. I get on top of her still kissing her; we stop just to catch our breaths, now I think it would be a good time to say something.

"I love you Nadia Fortune"

With that said another passionate kiss began.
