Over the past few days Ch'en had been mulling over her defeat to Yua. While at first, she wanted to just keep a very close eye on her, that eventually evolved into wanting to know what secrets she had, and Yua had a lot by the looks of it. First of all, how did she know all of Ch'en's techniques, whatever Ch'en did the other lung was able to counter it, also her own techniques looked like modifications of Ch'en's. Then, there was the fact that she was appointed as the doctor's assistant so quickly. She didn't look like the type that could handle paperwork, so there must be a reason why. Finally, Yua had said that she grew up in the slums, in Lungman there were many infected in the slums so Yua should have gotten infected, especially if her mother was, how come she didn't?

"That does seem odd, others have gotten infected from much less, Yua should have gotten infected someway." Ch'en's intuition was telling her that her story didn't add up, she had to be lying, but why? Ch'en knew she had to find out, Yua couldn't hide her secrets any longer. Ch'en decided to find her fellow lung, she would do whatever it took to find out, heading up to the doctor's office Ch'en believed she would be there.

Kal'tsit had just received a letter, Irene from the Iberian inquisition had replied to her, reading the letter Kal'tsit had a small smile, she could finally start putting her plan together, this would determine if Yua was truly an enemy or not. Kal'tsit heard a knock at the door, putting the letter in the draw Kal'tsit told whoever was at the door to come in, Kal'tsit was then greeted by Ch'en, if the blue-haired lung came to her office it must have been serious Kal'tsit summarised.

"Hello madam Ch'en, what can I do for you?" Kal'tsit asked. Quickly looking around the office Ch'en could not see the doctor or Yua anywhere, "Hello Doctor Kal'tsit, I am looking for Yua, have you seen her?" Why did Ch'en want to see Yua? Kal'tsit thought it was probably about the spar they had the other day. "The two of them have gone into the city, you will find Yua there." Thanking Doctor Kal'tsit Ch'en then left the room to head down to the entrance of the landship. Kal'tsit then went back to the letter, soon Rhodes Island would be heading to Iberia, they would spend a few days here just outside a city in Colombia to get supplies for the landship and to let the operators relax a bit then head off.

When Ch'en arrived at the entrance, she noticed a lot of the vehicles were taken "Probably a lot of operators in the city" she thought. Swire would probably be in the city looking to buy something expensive and Hoshiguma was more than likely riding one of her bikes in the desert, this made things easier for Ch'en, the less people with her the less questions that would be asked. Getting inside one of the vehicles, she started it up and drove out the entrance. After a fifteen-minute drive across the desert Ch'en could see the city. She also saw how many vehicles were parked outside, which meant a lot of Rhodes Island were here. Yua and the doctor were somewhere here, Ch'en didn't know how long it would take to find them.

Parking up next to the rest of the Rhodes Island vehicles Ch'en got out and headed into the city. Walking around the city Ch'en kept bumping into other operators, many of them said hello and asked how she was doing. Ch'en replied hello back and that she was fine, she wanted to keep the conversations short because she remembered why she was here, she had to find her fellow lung. Eventually after what seemed like ages Ch'en spotted Yua, she was with the doctor.

They were outside a small cafe; Ch'en couldn't hear what they were saying due to the distance, she wanted to find out what they were talking about but she didn't want to get spotted, Ch'en crept closer and made sure she kept out of sight. "Are there any operations coming up?" Yua asked the doctor. The doctor replied "Not that I know of, although Kal'tsit might be working on something, but she hasn't told me yet." Ch'en heard this "So they talking about work, even when they have time off." Ch'en thought. Ch'en found this admirable, especially in the doctor. Speaking of the doctor over the time she had known him, she had grown...fond of the man, yes fond. She admired the man's qualities. Hopefully, at some time in the future, she would like to get to know the man better.

"Don't think about that Ch'en, remember why you are here." Ch'en reminded herself, her mission was to find out about Yua, she needed to stay focused on that. Yua and the doctor then got up from where they were sitting and left the cafe to go elsewhere. Seeing that they were moving Ch'en moved from her hiding spot and followed them, making sure to keep her distance. Several operators saw the doctor and Yua and went up to them. Seeing more operators coming Ch'en hid again, she didn't want to be spotted by anyone.

While Ch'en was hiding waiting for the other operators to leave the doctor and Yua alone someone tapped her on the shoulder. Turning around surprised Ch'en was met with Swire. Seeing that her friend was surprised Swire asked "Whoa Ch'en, what's got you worked up?" Ch'en had to make an excuse to make sure Swire didn't question what she was doing "Well, I'm just guarding the doctor, can't be too careful anywhere." Swire didn't buy this for a second "Ch'en, the doctor has Yua with him, also this city has plenty of operators everywhere, I doubt anyone would try to harm the doctor with all these people around." Ch'en realised Swire would be able to see through her, she was a former police officer as well.

Seeing that she couldn't lie to her friend Ch'en decided to tell Swire the truth. She took a breath before she spoke "Okay Swire I will tell you the truth, I'm trying to find out information about Yua" Swire replied "Why are you trying to find out information about Yua?" Ch'en then explained about Yua countering her attacks in their spar, becoming the doctor's assistant so quickly, finally about why she wasn't infected when she was around so many infected herself, she found all of this too suspicious about Yua. After listening to her, Swire agreed, "I see what you mean Ch'en, it is suspicious, we do need to find out about Yua" Ch'en was thankful her friend understood.

"Well, I'll join you Ch'en, we will both follow her" Ch'en didn't really want another person following the doctor and Yua, but she did have another witness if Yua was hiding something dangerous from everybody. Thankfully by the time the two of them finished talking all the other operators around the doctor and Yua had only just left, so the two of them could follow. The doctor and Yua went into several shops and Ch'en and Swire kept their distance. Eventually it became evening and the doctor and Yua stopped at a park bench, with Ch'en and Swire behind a bush.

"Today has been good today, hasn't it Yua?" the lung replied "Yes it has, it's nice to have a break from everything." The next thing Yua would say would shock Ch'en and Swire.

"Father..."

Father!

Did both of them just hear that right? Did Yua just call the doctor Father? When Ch'en and Swire looked at the each other's faces they knew they both heard the same thing, there was no denying it. Wanting to find out what was going on Ch'en got out of her cover and shouted "Why did you just call the doctor your father!" When both of them heard the shout, they turned in the direction and saw Ch'en, Swire also came out of her cover. When Yua saw that she had been found out, her face turned whiter than her hair, they had been found out.

"Why did this have to happen? Why did mother find out?" is all Yua could think, this was the last thing that she wanted. Seeing that Yua wouldn't be able to speak the doctor spoke up for her, "I know you have a lot of questions Ch'en, but believe me when I say this, we had reasons why we had to hide this" Ch'en responded "And what reasons where those, doctor? Do you not trust those in Rhodes Island?" The doctor then explained his reason's "I only discovered Yua was my daughter recently, it was a shock for me as well, finding out that she is my family I wanted to get to know her, that's why she is my assistant, Doctor Kal'tsit recommended it." Ch'en could understand that, but that still didn't explain why he didn't let people know.

The doctor then continued "As for why I didn't tell anyone, other operators would believe that I would show favouritism to Yua for being my daughter, that would cause problems, people might not listen to my orders." Ch'en didn't think that it would be that much of an issue, sure a few operators might have a problem but it would be sorted out after some time. The doctor then stated one more reason "From what I've been told Ch'en, from my past I have enemies in Terra, if they found out I have a daughter they would target her to get to me." Okay, Ch'en could definitely understand that, no one should have to be worried about their child being targeted by other people, she was satisfied with that reason.

Then another voice spoke out "Well, you're definitely not wrong about having enemies' doctor." If Yua could get any more paler, she would "No! Please don't tell me she knows now!" When everyone turned their heads, they saw someone they wished wasn't here. It was W. "Well, you certainly are full of secrets now doctor, hiding a daughter from everyone, I'm hurt you didn't tell me doctor" Looking at the face of W, Yua could tell she was loving this, she would definitely use this against the doctor.

"What are you doing here, W!" Ch'en shouted at the sarkaz woman. She did not want her here. Nobody wanted her here, to be honest. W replied "I was looking to find a way to mess with the doctor, so I was following him, didn't expect to find out this gem of information, then again why were you following him madam Ch'en?" Ch'en couldn't respond, she didn't want to tell W she was doing the same thing as her but for different reasons, if she had a go at W for doing it, she would have been a massive hypocrite.

W knew this and simply grinned, "Well it doesn't matter, I've got what I wanted" she then looked at Yua "I'll be seeing you really soon girl" W then turned and left. With W now knowing Yua knew it would be common knowledge on the land ship soon, she would happily spread the information.

Yua could only think "This is going to be bad! everyone is going to know! What do I do now..."
