Riley
I was woke up by Kylie in the middle of the night, holding her phone in one hand.
"We have to go see Shinigami-sama." Kylie yawned.
"Y'know, the Irish don't like being woke up really late." I said.
"Nobody does," Kylie said. "Now, get up!"
I stood, stretching. "This had better be good."
In the Death Room.
"Heya! Hiya! Heya!" Shinigami-sama waved to the several shibusen gathered in the Death Room.
"H-Hey, Riley." Eva said.
"Oh. Hey. Eva, right? How's it going?" I asked.
"Pretty good," Eva blushed.
"Rye, Shinigami-sama's talking." Kylie said.
"Oh. Right." I said.
"A student named Xan is suspected to be the bomber," Shinigami-sama said, holding a photo of Xan.
"Why does he look so much like a cowboy?" Kylie muttered.
"He's an expert at making grenades, and he has a Weapon with a surplus of ability." Shinigami-sama said.
"'Surplus of ability'?" I quoted, a big anime sweat-drop running down the back of my head.
"Sid will lead you in a raid of their hotel. Make sure to not hurt Kid, or his Weapons, Patti and Liz." Shinigami-sama said as Sid walked out.
And there was, like, an hour of debriefing that I slept through.
Then, I was awoke by a swift elbow to my ribs. "We're leaving!" Kylie said.
I yawned. "Okay."
Luc laughed, but Eva glared at him until he stopped.
"Where's Xan, again?" I asked.
"Rio De Janeiro." Kylie said.
"Where's that? Spain?"
"Brazil."
"Where's that?" I asked.
"I can really see how you nearly failed Social Studies." Kylie said.
Rio De Janeiro, in a car owned by the DWMA.
'Well now then Mardy Bum/I've seen your frown/And it's like looking down the barrel of a gun'
I listened to 'Mardy Bum' by the Arctic Monkeys as the others talked.
"So, are Death Scythe missions like this a lot?" Eva asked, ever the curious girl. Eva's eyes kept wandering over to me, and I just didn't get it.
Kylie shrugged. "This isn't a Death Scythe-only mission, or else more adults would be here."
"And Maka's team would be here." I said.
"What do you think this is going to be like?" Luc asked. His outfit was weird compared to everyone else's: everyone wore the same clothes that Sid had, but Luc wore a forest camo bandana as well as a forest camo best and pants, making him look like Naked Snake from Metal Gear Solid 3.
"I don't know, Snake." I chuckled. "Maybe Kid Ocelot'll shoot at us."
"What's an Ocelot?" Luc asked.
"Hey Stein," Eva said, nudging the creepy guy, who had been deep in thought. "What do you think about Xan?"
"I like his chemical experimentation." Stein said.
"How about you, Riley?" Eva asked.
I shrugged. "He seemed pretty cool. Not at all like he'd blow up Brazil."
"Rio De Janeiro." Kylie said. "I like him."
"Ooooh! Does Soul have competition?" I laughed, Kylie hitting me a few times.
"How about you, Luc?" Eva asked.
"I don't know. I mean, he looked like an outlaw, but what could justify blowing stuff up?" Luc asked.
"Luc," Kylie said. "You look like an outlaw, too."
Luc frowned as Kylie and Eva laughed.
The apartment.
Sid was about to kick the door down when Kid walked out, bumping in to him.
"Hi!" Kylie said, holding up a peace symbol in the split second it took Kid to realize what was going on.
Kid ran back into the hotel room, summoning Beelzebub. We all looked at Sid, wondering what to do.
Luc ran into the room, moving past us as Kid jumped out of the window, one of his pistols in his hand.
"There isn't anything here," Luc said to us as we slowly entered the room. Then, he looked around the room with his green eyes, but stopped on the window. "What was that about?" Luc asked.
"I don't know," Kylie said, "would you jump out of a window if a whole bunch of guys were outside of your door?"
"No. Unlike some people, Kylie, I don't want to be splattered on asphalt." Luc said
