Rain poured down and echoed through the walls of the base. Akari went over the fortunes of the troupe members in her head, starting with Shizuku.

'

You will find eternal rest in a room filled with back merchandise. Beware solitude above all. You have the most to fear when you are alone with another.

'

The Paku's....

'

On a dark day with very little light, you will face two choices within a small room. You must choose between pride and betrayal. While the death-bringer hovers near.

'

Then finished with Shalnark's.

'

Do not make any phone calls. When it matters most you will be unable to reach anyone.  It would be unwise to answer the phone, for the death-bringer will come calling one time in three.

'





"Let's break into groups." Chrollo announced, standing and eyeing the troupe. "We'll spend the next week operating in these groups so avoid moving alone."

Akari could feel Hisoka's eyes burning into her back as her boss talked.

"Shizuku, Pakunoda and Machi."

"Kortopi, Phinks and Feitan."

"Nobunaga, Akari and Shalnark are with me."

"Franklin, Bonolenov and Hisoka will stay here."

Akari felt a twinge in her chest that she wasn't with Hisoka as she had been hoping to ask more about the 'scarlet eyes' and apologize for blaming him but Machi raised her hand. "Boss can I ask a question? Some kids know about this place." Akari's eyes widened. 'gon and killua-' "Kids-?" "Well, they didn't have anything to do with the chain user....but I'm still worried."

"Yeah I forgot! Danchou I wanted to recruit that kid!" Nobunaga exclaimed and Machi's face contorted. "That's not why I mentioned them!" "Explain."





Once Machi had finished explaining about Gon, Chrollo sighed.

"I see....he does sound interesting. However, it  doesn't sound like he'll join the spiders." "We can convince him! Boss just meet with him." Nobu pressed. 'damn he must really want gon to join the troupe...' "Boss don't listen to him." Akari interrupted, earning herself a glare from Nobunaga.

 "Why the concern Akari, Machi?" 

Machi and Akari shared a side glance. Akari was almost positive they had different reasons for not wanting him to join the troupe. She wanted Gon to stay out of the troupes way....he was a fucking child! While Machi.........

"Um, it's just a hunch."

Chrollo cocked an eyebrow. "Instinct, huh?" Chrollo looked down on Akari. "Do you share the same reason as her?" He asked Akari and she immediately nodded. "You both have sharp instincts. It's possible that there's something important about those kids." Akari swallowed dryly and nodded.

"To be safe, we need more fake bases." He tilted his head towards Kortopi. "Kortopi, can you make ten more-?" The smallest troupe member nodded. "I can make another fifty, and the instant anyone enters the fake base, I'll know."
