It was a relief when the convulsion subsided. It went as it had come, abrupt. Kay sighed with relief as she stroke the man's head. "That scared me, for a moment there, I thought he was going to die," Kay said now shedding tears of relief, she thought he would end up like her father.

"Don't worry about that Kay," Luna explained kindly," his brain was forcing him to wake up, you see, that's why he was convulsing. But he can't wake up, that's the problem since his brain cells are damaged, so only he can do is make jerky spastic twitches that appear as convulsions."

"Stand back," Qilin commanded everyone as she glared at the person Kay was in charge of," This man is part of the Heilongs, he should be brought there as a criminal."

"Of course," Franziska agreed," but who exactly is this man anyway?" She glanced at the man and was struck by his similarity of ... Liuxang. She reeled back in astonishment.

"This man is Liuxang's brother," Kay replied coolly. She held on tighter to him. "We don't know his name but Liuxang always refers him as Brother."

Shi Long didn't do what was commanded by Qilin and instead took a step to Kay, Ralos and Luna readied the necessary weapons to protect the man they were assigned to guard. Kay bit her lip trying to devise a strategy on how to keep the brother safe.

"Don't come nearer, Agent Lang," Kay said.

Shi Long studied her, the crow girl it seems was willing to put up a fight trying to protect him. He smiled wolfishly. Liuxang taught them well on loyalty, though misplaced, he was beginning to like her. He walked back to Qilin.

"Qilin, let's talk somewhere private," he requested and they moved to a place far from earshot.

"Shi Long, I know it sounds heartless but this man could very well be dangerous," Qilin reminded him.

"I know he's dangerous, but if we could find a way to wake him up, won't he be grateful?" Shi Long argued.

"Grateful? I laugh. Shi Long, we have done that, before we executed have one of them we treated his birth defect and all he did was kidnap the doctor and his family, they disappeared without a trace."

"And the other Heilongs?"

"Most of them escaped, three of them stayed behind as a diversion and they died for it."

"It shows how they had discipline and loyalty."

"You know what Shi Long, you're right."

"I am always right," he said in a mock arrogance.

"You seem to admire those three," Qilin noted. Shi Long merely smiled.

QIlin smiled with him and turned back to the Yagatarasu trio. "All right, we'll give him the medical treatment he needs but there are conditions you need to follow," Qilin said to them. "One, you will not do anything with the patient unless you ask for my permission. Two, the patient is now under the Pailongs. Three, if you escape with the patient, there's likely to be a war again."

The three discussed with themselves, it took some time. "So what happens if the patient is uncooperative?" Ralos asked seriously.

"Then he will be tried and executed as a member of the Heilongs."

"That's a tough bargain," Kay said," what would you do to him once he wakes up?"

"He'll will be given to a rehabilitation center."

"What if he never wakes up?"

"We'll have to pull the plug."

Kay flinched at those words. Pulling the plug sounded like murder to her. She knew it was naive to think of it as murder, true it was like euthanasia but the person would never wake up. Ever. Ralos sensed her thoughts and held her hand. He tried to give her what was passably an optimistic smile.

"You know what, I'll let you think about it first," Qilin said kindly," I know it's a big decision but you have to choose –" she looked at the brother "— For his sake."

Luna glared at her. She was right, unfortunately and no matter what happened between them, she would still have that power. She gritted her teeth. "Fine," she muttered unintelligibly.

Qilin smiled kindly. "We won't let him die, he's too precious to some people."

Luna didn't say anything else, she grunted instead. Hoping to break that fake smile of her face.

"Let's go," Qilin said to Shi Long.

"Shi Long, I think it's better if you take the wheel, Franziska has been giving me hell for driving too slow for HER taste," Miles suggested.

Franziska stomped hard on his heel. "Miles Edgeworth, you speak too much."

"And you act to liberally, princess." It worked just like a charm and Miles smirk as Franziska clenched her fist. She maintained her dignity and she planned to pay him back once they reach Qilin's place. She'll show him, princess indeed. She sniffed.

"You don't want Shi Long, he drives like a bat out of hell!" QIlin said horrified.

"The faster, the better," was Franziska's curt reply.

"Two against one Qilin," Shi Long said with a smug smile," I think you're outvoted and outmoded."

"You think I dress too provocatively?" QIlin asked with a gasp.

"No but it's a hell lot more sexier than the other time," Shi Long replied with a laugh.

Qilin smiled and all them got into the car.

The Yatagarasu Trio stayed behind, their car was almost back in shape with no help from anyone, it was another benefit of using a special atroium alloy, faster than memory alloy it could bend back to shape better. Kay pulled out from her pocket the Little Thief. She pressed a few buttons and then a holographic picture of Liuxang came out.

"As soon as you receive this message, I assume you finished the first part of the mission."

"We did, Shifu," Ralos said.

"I already gave you the instruction to enter the district without difficulty so I am just going to warn you to be careful, all of us are treading thin ice."

"We won't let you down, Shifu," Kay said.

Liuxang smiled at them, it wasn't a sneer, it wasn't that mysterious enigmatic smile that could send shivers to people's spines, but a real smile of wishing them well, and it stunned all three of them momentarily at the change it brought on him. And then he disappeared.

"Well that's that," Luna said with a smile, it had been a while since that happened.

"We better get going now, the car's almost repaired. And we left the brother unattended."

"Wait, Kay play that message again!" Luna begged.

"No, Luna, we spent too much time already with have to go!" Ralos said.

"Vote by the majority, Ralos," Kay retorted," I also want to see Shifu's smile also."
