*At an airport in Dayton, Cole has commandeered a ticket from a passenger in the men’s restroom*
(Cole): Nothing personal buddy. Just revenge.
*Cole leaves the restroom and goes to his gate where he shows his ticket and is allowed to board. He takes his seat by the window where the person sitting next to him is an old lady*
(Old Lady): Hello there dearie.
(Cole): Hello ma’am. You going on vacation or returning from vacation?
(Old Lady): Returning. I was visiting my grandchildren. How about you? Going to Boston to see the sights?
(Cole): Oh no, as soon as I land in Boston I’m hoping on another flight to London.
(Old Lady): Oh my. Business or pleasure?
(Cole): A little bit of both. I’ve got business to take care of, but it’s going to a pleasurable experience.
(Captain): Good morning passengers this is your captain speaking. We are set to close the doors and take off in a few minutes. We’re looking at a roughly 2 ½ hour flight to Boston. We ask that you please put your luggage under your seat or in the overhead bend. If you need assistance, don’t hesitate to ask a flight attendant for help. Once again, thanks for flying Delta we’re glad to have you aboard.
*Back in London, it’s nighttime and Nitsuj and the others are back at the manor where Nitsuj and Kenji are talking to Lisa and bringing her up to speed on the situation*
(Lisa): So, Brodie Davis is behind this. No wonder members of Parliament are rallying behind the movement to ban anime. He holds a lot of influence in Parliament and I’m sure they were threatened to join the cause or else.
(Nitsuj): Since we know it’s him, shouldn’t we move to arrest this guy?
(Lisa): It’s not that easy. No evidence no arrest. There’s nothing tying him to the Order of Iustitia Socialis or that he’s spreading false articles about anime. All evidence leading back to him has been erased. On top of that you and Kenji are wanted men now by the police force. I managed to stall orders to hand you over to the proper authorities, but it’s only a matter of time before I’m forced to hand you guys over. I know you’re innocent, but all they care about are the facts and the facts are you two escaped police custody, attacked other officers, broke into a museum, and might have possibly damaged some exhibits.
(Kenji): Not bad for a bunch of foreigners wouldn’t you say?
(Lisa): Please take this seriously!
(Nitsuj): We are. Which is why we’re joking. The situation looks bad, but it’s nothing new we haven’t been in before. Brodie thinks he’s won, he thinks he has us on the run and living in fear, but he doesn’t. Which means this is the perfect chance to retaliate.
(Lisa): How, all evidence that leads to him has been a dead end or erased. He’s covered his tracks well.
(Chris): Not entirely. He may have tied the evidence to other sites and people, but he can’t erase the source and that source lies on the computer he used. Also, I’m sure Brodie has met with members of the Order at his house. If we can get into that computer and see his security footage we can beat him.
(Lisa): Interesting. That’s not a bad idea. The problem is getting to the house. Brodie keeps his personal life pretty private. He doesn’t allow a lot of people into his house without an invite. Plus, he’s an attentive man. He’ll notice something is wrong within his house.
(Athony): Not unless he’s busy. Sorry for the eavesdropping madame Lisa, but I believe a golden opportunity has presented itself.
*Anthony shows everyone an invite to a party being hosted by Brodie Davis at his house tomorrow night*
(Nitsuj): An invite to a party?
(Anthony): Yes. Brodie has been known to throw the occasional party shortly before his meetings with Parliament. It’s his way of tying up loose ends and getting any stragglers who are still undecided to his side.
(Kenji): Okay, I get it now, we sneak in during the party, grab the laptop, and expose him in front of everyone.
(Lisa): Assuming he has any incriminating evidence on there.
(Chris): Oh he does. Trust me. He may think he deleted files, but nothing truly gets deleted on a laptop unless you do it properly. If you can get me close to it, I can hack it.
(Lisa): This plan could work. I’ll be joining you guys for this mission. Anthony, I trust your invitation has a guest invite as well?
(Anthony): Indeed it does ma’am. It would be my honor to accompany you.
(Nitsuj): Looks like we got a plan. Let’s turn in for tonight and reconvene tomorrow to go over the operation.
*Everyone gets up and leaves. Nitsuj takes the elevator and heads up to the main floor. As he makes his way towards his room, he sees Neo outside with a sketch book. Curious about this, Nitsuj goes outside to see what she’s sketching. He peeks over Neo’s shoulder to see that she’s sketching the night sky*
(Nitsuj): Lovely view wouldn’t you say?
*Neo let’s out a small eep surprised by Nitsuj’s presence and drops her sketch book*
(Nitsuj): *Chuckles* Sorry, didn’t mean to startle you.
(Neo): No. It’s fine. How did the briefing go?
(Nitsuj): It went well. We have a plan.
(Neo): That’s good to know. With everything that happened I was worried about your mind set.
(Nitsuj): Eh it’s not too bad. I’ve had worse things happen to me. So, I didn’t know you were an artist.
*Nitsuj picks up the sketch book and flips through the pages to see a few sketches. Some of them were drawings of backgrounds while others were drawings of anime characters and fanart*
(Neo): It’s just a hobby of mine. There not really all that good.
(Nitsuj): I beg to differ. It’s better than what I can draw.
(Neo): It can’t be that bad.
(Nitsuj): Oh really?
*Nitsuj uses the pen to draw a sketch of a person. The person is a horribly drawn stick figure. After Nitsuj is done he shows the picture to Neo*
(Nitsuj): What do you think now?
(Neo): Okay, that is pretty bad. If I’m being really honest, it sucks.
(Nitsuj): I know. That’s what the others say.
*Nitsuj continues to flip through the pages where he sees drawings of the AI girls, Chris, Kenji, the Jack Bros., and himself*
(Nitsuj): Hey these drawings of us are very good.
(Neo): WAH~! Don’t look at those, they’re not finished yet!
*Neo tries to grab the sketch book only to slip and fall on Nitsuj. Nitsuj falls backward with Neo’s face right by his face where Nitsuj gets a view of Neo’s eyes and sees that her left eye is pink instead of lime green like her right eye. Neo quickly scrambles to get up and cover her left eye*
(Nitsuj): You’ve got Heterochromia.
(Neo): *Sigh* Yes. I imagine you must think I look weird.
(Nitsuj): Why would I think that? I think you look beautiful.
*Nitsuj approaches Neo and removes the bangs from her left eye to get a good look at her. Neo stands there dumbfounded all while blushing*
(Neo): Y-You really don’t think it’s weird?
(Nitsuj): No way. It’s like I’m looking at a gemstone. I could get lost staring at it for hours and never feel bored.
*Neo’s blush intensifies. No longer able to stand it she quickly turns around to cover her face. Nitsuj can’t help but smile and find her actions cute. Nitsuj goes to pick up Neo’s sketchbook to hand it back to her*
(Nitsuj): You know I’m glad to see you and the other AI girls have been getting along so well.
(Neo): Oh yes, they’ve all been great. Chibi is cute, Shizuku and Yin-Yang have taught me so much in terms of combat, Isis and Mira are so smart, Yume’s beauty truly amazes me, and at first I was scared of Seras but after spending time with her I’ve grown to respect and admire her. You truly do have amazing AI girls. In a way, I’m jealous.
(Nitsuj): How so?
(Neo): Just the trust you guys have. When we heard you were wanted men, I panicked. I was worried about what would happen to you and Kenji, but the others didn’t panic at all. They weren’t scared or worried for your safety. They knew that you would be okay. They trusted in your abilities to escape and last long enough for us to come and save you. Even though I’ve been with Kenji all these years I couldn’t stop worrying about him.
(Nitsuj): I don’t view that as you distrusting him, I think it just shows how much you care about him. He holds a special place in your heart that seeing him in danger is enough to make you worry. That really shows how kind and caring you really are Neo and that what makes you, you. Don’t ever view that as a weakness. Truth be told that kindness is what I like the most about you. Well that, and your shyness makes you so cute when you blush.
*Neo once again starts to blush all while staring at Nitsuj*
(Baron): *Whistles* Smooth moves Nitsuj.
(Corbin): What are you waiting for go for the kiss.
(Seras): Don’t be suckered in by his smooth words.
(Yume): Don’t listen to her. Follow your heart Neo.
*The other AI girls come in picking sides and making Neo feel embarrassed*
(Nitsuj): Would you guys shut up and go away.
*Everyone leaves all while giggling*
(Nitsuj): *Sigh* I think we’ve given the peanut gallery enough to talk about. Let’s head inside and get some rest. We’ve got a busy day tomorrow.
(Neo): Right.
*Nitsuj and Neo enter back into the manor and Nitsuj walks Neo back to her room*
(Nitsuj): Well this is your stop. Have a good night Neo.
(Neo): You to Nitsuj.
*Nitsuj turns to walk away*
(Neo): Oh and Nitsuj.
*Nitsuj turns around where Neo pulls him down by his left arm and whispers into his ear*
(Neo): I was actually more worried about you then I was Kenji.
*Neo kisses Nitsuj on the cheek and runs back into her room leaving Nitsuj stunned in the hallway. Anthony walks by witnessing the public display of affection*
(Anthony): I’ll be sure to change your sheets come tomorrow morning master Nitsuj.
