"back….forth….back….forth" Emily was whispering to herself as she saw Lauren walking.

She was explaining the entire plan to them for the third time. They were on the common room hearing what they needed to do and what not. Though it was something that needed to be understood very well they weren't minds retards. But in that moment Lauren didn't seem to get it because she was repeating the same thing.

"…and please don't hesitate in what you say, it could be very tricky and we don't know what would be the people reaction. This is not a game and we didn't do anything to be afraid of, but still we can't trust in that everything is going to be okay because we don't want more shots or people hurt. Now I think the police are stupid but I'm not allowed to say that…"

Jayden shook his head and grabbed her sister's arm "Lauren, relax. We got it"

The red ranger took a look around to her friends and smile nervously. She wasn't sure if she needed to repeat the plan one more time. "Yeah but something could get really bad"

"And whatever that is, we're going to figure it out, Lauren relax" Kevin assured her.

"Yes and this time we won't live without leave everything clear" Mia added

Lauren nodded but still wasn't sure at all. She let Ji gave some constructive words and took a seat next to her brother who was telling her everything would be fine.

Mentor Ji got up from his stool and stared at the samurai rangers "Listen up. We now have some odds in our favor because as Kevin's parents said the city is overcoming this entire thing. I guess the people who were mad at you have overcome into their pain and understood you didn't have any fault"

"Yes but what if not?" Antonio asked

"We will have to convince them" Jayden answered "We can't let them win this time. Besides this time we'll be smarter. If we want the people to really trust us then we need to open up to them"

"And you have to be honest" Ji inquired "Much as possible"

"And cautious" Lauren reminded.

Everyone huffed but still nodded their heads.

"Exactly caution!" Mike pointed to air. He was nervous about taking Emily with them because he wasn't sure how Emily could take things. She wasn't in the best mood to resist pressure or stress and Mike was worried something could happen to her or his child.

"Mike, I'll be fine" Emily told him silkily "Nothing bad is going to happen this time"

"Yeah… and are you a seer? " Mike gasped "I think Emily really needs to stay here, guys."

"We told you, Mike" Jayden said "We all need to be there"

"Yes but there can be an exception…"

"Mike I said I'll be fine. We'll be fine, really"

"Don't worry amigo" Antonio pat Mike's shoulder "She'll be with us and we're going to protect her and… I promise this time we won't run off desperately"

Mike shrugged Antonio's hand away and rolled his eyes. The green ranger was sure none of his friends would help him in leaving Emily behind so he gave a whimper and stuck out his tongue.

Jayden ignored that and joined Ji in the leadership. "Guys this is serious so I need to know if you have any question"

"With the discourse Lauren gave? No thanks we're fine" Antonio chuckled

Mentor gave the order to can leave and everyone went straight to the kitchen. There, a hot meal would be waiting for them as Kevin's and Mia's parents too.

When Lauren and Jayden turned to head to the kitchen Ji called them back. "Jayden, Lauren can you come?"

Both red rangers frowned but still did what they were told. Ji invited one more time to sit and sighed. "Is everything alright?"

Jayden nodded confused his head and answered "Uh yes, Ji. I think at least we'll do everything we can and the plan seems cool so…"

"No, no. I don't mean that" Ji shook his head. "I mean with you both"

Lauren nodded "Yes, Ji…why are you asking us this?"

"Because I know you're lying. I've seen you guys and you've been out of context"

"We're fine Ji" Lauren assured. She wasn't sure if Ji would believe her but was trying her best. The last days that they had been with their friends, swore they hid all kinds of strange behavior. They didn't want to be discovered in their personal life and not because they were selfish or because they didn't trust the people who would give their lives to protect them, but it was for the same reason to keep them well.

The others rangers already had their lives practically made and already had their own personal problem s too, so Lauren and Jayden thought to maintain theirs for them.

But obviously it seemed that they had underestimated the Master.

Ji gave the rangers a worried look and continued "Lauren…Jayden….I don't know what you have between hands or what are you thinking. All I know is that you two aren't as happy as you think. I can't do anything if I'm blind. But if you help me to see, it'd be easier"

Lauren nudged her brother and Jayden looked up to Ji playing with his hands.

"Ji…I…It's really nothing. I mean nothing that you can really help. It's something personal and even I don't know what I am saying…it's stupid. Nothing to worry about"

"It's not stupid" His mentor said "Jayden, sometimes we need help when we think it's not necessary. But at the very bottom we're looking for it."

Lauren wrapped one arm around her brother and smiled at him "It's the same I told him. I'm not the problem Ji but Jayden. He's the one trying to play the emotionless"

Jayden rolled his eyes "I'm not..,"

"You know that's wrong, right Jayden?" Ji interrupted giving him a look "if you continue keeping things from people, only you'll keep them far from you. And, you might not want other confrontation with your friends again, right?"

"Confrontation?" Lauren frowned "How…"

"It's the past" Jayden finally said. He wasn't in mood to any speech. "I'll talk once I figure out what I want to figure out, ok"

He gave his last words and left the room without anything else.
Lauren bit her lip unsure of what to do but followed her brother, Ji, meanwhile, remained in silent.
