Nathan frowned as he tended to Brooklyn and May-lin. Behind him Elizabeta, Oliver and Johnny were running up to them. "What the devil happened?" Elizabeta questioned, eyeing the two injured bladers. Brooklyn looked her, a small smile on his face.

"I just had a brush with death." He joked before wincing again. Elizabeta dropped her knees.

"Lin? Are you all right?" she questioned, placing a hand on the Chinese girl's shoulder. May-lin smiled warmly at her friend, despite the pain her head. She placed her own hand on top of Elizabeta's, silently thanking her for the comfort.

"I'm okay. Gotta say though, this is all a bit of a shake up from our normal boring days here." May-lin giggled before cursing. Nathan tutted under his breath.

"Take it easy." He sternly ordered. May-lin rolled her eyes a little while Oliver looked round for the final member of the team.

"So…where's Jemma?" he questioned. Nathan turned to look round, bit his lip. She had been with them a moment ago, where the hell could she have gone?

"Dad! Come on! This is important!"

Sean William Scott rubbed his forehead, trying to stifle his ever growing headache. "I said no Jemma. What part of it don't you get?" he asked. Jemma glared at her father before slamming her hands down on his desk.

"Dad, you don't seem to get what I'm saying! I told you, the killer sounds just like him." She whined again. Fear and anger flashed in Sean's eyes as he returned Jemma's glare with his own.

"And how could possibly remember what he sounded like? You were only five!" he snapped back. However Jemma was not backing down which caused Sean's headache to flare up again. One of the many traits Jemma had gotten from him, her stubbornness.

"I have a frickin' good memory! Five year olds don't forget a family member who went bonkers!" Jemma took a step back away from Sean's desk and took a deep breath. "He tried to get into The Room dad. Doesn't that tell you something?" she questioned.

Sean let out a tired sigh and lent back in his chair. "It tells me you should drop the whole subject and concentrate on getting the moral of the alive bladers up as much as possible. Understood?" he replied. Sean knew that he had the image of a care-free father who would let his daughter to do anything, but this was not the time for foolish ideas. He raised an eyebrow at his daughter who pouted sourly.

"Fine dad. But this isn't the end of it." Jemma snapped before stalking out of the office. Sean waited until he heard the office door bang loudly.

"Dear god! Teenagers!" he grumbled, opening a drawer on the right side of his desk.

--

Jemma lent against the door to Sean's office, a deep scowl on her face. Cross her arms over her chest, Jemma let out a loud angry sigh and kicked the door hard.

"I really want to be in the shoes of the person who pissed you off."

Jemma turned her attention to a second figure, lurking in the hall. "Am I just frickin' special or you do hunt all the females?" Jemma spat her wrath now directed to the figure. Kai Hiwatari smirked a little, running a hand through his hair.

"Don't flatter yourself. You ain't special at all." Kai replied, his cold crimson eyes on Jemma. Her light purple one stared straight back into his. "However the whole hotel could hear you screaming the odds. What were you yelling at?" Kai added.

"None of your business." Jemma hissed a little, turning from the Russian. Kai raised an eyebrow, a mocking grin on his lips. Some way away, Nathan listened closely.

"Oh really? You seemed to make the hotel's business when you yelled it out. Ever heard of closing the door?" Kai sneered. Jemma remained silent as she closed her eyes a little from Kai's jokes. "Who were you talking about anyway? The killer sound like who?" Kai questioned but Jemma refused to answer.

"Kai, leave it." Nathan order sharply. Kai regarded Nathan for a second before shrugging his shoulders. Without another word, the Russian turned on his heel and left. Nathan turned to look at Jemma who was still leaning against the door. "You okay?"

Jemma's eyes opened as she turned her attention to the half-Japanese male. Silence past between the two again before Jemma pulled away from the door. "I'm going to go train." She muttered. Her voice told Nathan she was extremely annoyed which didn't suit her at all.

As Jemma past her friend, Nathan grabbed her arm. "Jem, you know you can tell me…" Nathan was taken back when Jemma yanked her arm out of his grasp.

"I said I'm going to train!" she snapped, a little harsher then she should have. Nathan stared at her in shock as Jemma stormed off towards the gym. May-lin and Elizabeta both winced when Jemma slammed the door to the gym. The Scottish girl rushed to Nathan's side.

"What happened? Is she all right?" Elizabeta inquired, looking between the gym and Nathan. The pounding sound of 'Supermassive Black Hole' vibrated throughout the hotel.

"She'll be fine Bluebell. Stay with May-lin. I don't want her getting into anymore trouble at the moment." Nathan ordered. Elizabeta nodded her head and returned to May-lin's side. She turned round quickly, smiling a little at her friend.

"We're gonna go eat ice-cream in the kitchen. Wanna join?" She asked. Nathan shook his head.

"I've got things to do, sorry girls." He grinned. Nathan remained where he was watching the two females leave.

It was a bit of an understatement to say that Tala was surprise when he opened the door to his room. He eyed Nathan wearily. "What do you want?" The red head asked, towering over Nathan.

"I need your help. Can you break into Sean's office for me?" Nathan replied. Tala raised an eyebrow wondering what had gotten into the blader. "Please?" Nathan added when Tala gave no reply. The taller blader snorted.

"Whatcha take me for? An idiot?" Tala laughed. Nathan frowned again. "I'm not going to break into the head office without a good reason. Beside I don't want to go to jail for your stupid idea."

Nathan rolled his eyes. "I'll take the blame. All you have to do is fix the lock for me." Tala was not having any of it. Leaning against the door frame, Tala pouted a little.

"Why can't you?"

"Because Sean changed the locks and wouldn't give us the key. Are you gonna help or not?" Nathan snapped. Tala weighted his options before shrugging.

"Meh, I guess. It'll give me something to do." Tala muttered stepping out of the room. Nathan backed up, allowing Tala to enter the hall. The red head turned to lock the hotel room before glaring at Nathan. "You're taking the fall if we get caught." He hissed.

"Of course."


Wahoo! It seems I'm almost back on track! Yay! I would like to thank SchoolBoredom for her review.
