Lin's Pov

I look around the cafeteria, hoping to find a secluded area so that I could talk to Mai without being over heard by the other people in the cafeteria. Once my search is over, and I find the perfect table, I beckon Mai over. When she gets to the table, I pull a chair out for her. She gives me a big smile.

"Thank you, Lin-san." She says, offering me the other cup of tea. I take the cup gratefully and nod in thanks. I take the seat across from her and take a sip of tea. I begin to think about what I saw inside the morgue.

~Flash back~

When I shut the door to the morgue, leaving Mai in the hallway, the young man who guided us here turns to me.

"I'm glad the young lady decided to wait out in the hall. It's not a pretty sight." He says as he shakes his head a bit.

"What do you mean?" I question. Instead of answering my question, he walks over to a giant freezer and opens it. When he comes back with a rolling cart, my curiosity is peaked. I step closer to the cart and pull the sheet away, and my eyes widen in shock. Laying there on the cart is not a body, but shredded body parts. As if someone took a machete and decided to make sure he was unrecognizable. When I smell burning flesh, I feel vomit begin to rise in my throat. I take a few deep breaths to come down, but when I smell gasoline, I could no longer stay there. "Please excuse me." I say and walk out of there as quickly as I could.

When I got to the men's restroom, I throw the stall door open and proceed to throw up what I had in my stomach. After the whole ordeal I pull away from the stall to wash my mouth out. I look into the bathroom mirror; my hair is disheveled and my eyes are blood shot. I turn on the water and proceed to clean myself up. It wouldn't be good for Mai to see me like this, I think to myself.

After I finally I look presentable I pop a mint into my mouth and leave the men's restroom with my mask of indifference back on my face. Once I return to the morgue the same young man, who took me inside, is waiting for me in the hallway. He hands me a file, and I open it and begin to read it.

"All his teeth were taken?" I ask, pausing in my reading, and turn my gaze towards him.

"Yes, sir." The young man replies. "His hands and feet were taken as well."

"Thank you for your help."

When I turned away from the young man, I heard him say, "I hope you find the person or persons who did this to Mr. Jenkins. He was a great man. When I was a young boy I wanted to be just like him, but when I was in high school, I found out I had a heart condition. He's the one who convinced me to go into medicine and become a doctor."

I nod my head in understanding and proceed to walk up the stairs, I ask my shiki, "Where is Mai?"

"She's inside the cafeteria." The deep voice of my crow shiki answers.

"I thought she was going to wait for me in the hallway..."

Crow shrugs in answer to my question.

"Maybe she got hungry." The fox shiki suggests. 'That is a possibility. We didn't get to eat that much.' I think to myself. When I enter the cafeteria, I see Mai at the cashiers line, unzipping her purse to pay the older woman for the meal. I walk up to Mai and the cashier and take out my own wallet. I hand the older woman a few bills, scaring poor Mai. The casher smiles at me and takes the money. When she hand me the change, I take it and go find a table.

~End of Flashback~

"Um...Lin-san, what did you see inside the morgue?" Mai asks in a small voice, breaking me away from my reverie.

"If I told you now, you would not be able to finish eating your food." I say, sighing.

Mai's Pov

"Oh...okay." I mutter in confusion. I pick up my cup of tea and take a sip. I hope that Lin-san wasn't to angry with me. For some reason he seemed very upset about something. Maybe it had to do with what he saw inside the morgue. I finish drinking my cup of tea and stand up to throw my trash away. Lin-san stands up whenever I come back to the table.

"Are you ready to go, Mai?" Lin-san asks. I nod and we walk out of the hospital. Once we're in the van, I try to open the file, but Lin-san stops me before I can. He shakes his head, and I sit back in the seat with a frown. When we arrive at the restraint, Naru and Bou-san are waiting for us.

"Report." Naru orders. Lin-san ignores Naru and continues to walk inside. Bou-san looks at me for answers, but I shake my head, not sure what to say. Naru crosses his arms and walks inside, ignoring Bou-san and me. A gust of wind hits us and I begin to shiver.

"Let's go inside, it's chilly." I tell Bou-san, looking up at him.

"Okay Mai-chan." He responses. He opens the door with a small grin and says, "Ladies first."

I smile and shake my head as I walk into the building. When we enter base, Naru unsurprisingly calls for tea. I sigh in exasperation.

"Anyone else want tea?" I inquire. I get a chorus of yeses from everyone present. The only ones not there are Masako and John. But even if they are not there, I'd still make them some tea.
