Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 9: One Year of Love

Chapter Five: Dionysus' Intervention Offices

Celine ran out the door without her shoes on before anyone could ask her what the hell happened. Josui followed suite, trying to catch up to her. What did she mean, "That's my parent's house?" She ran down the street in the middle of the road, sweat pouring down her face, her heartbeat beating quickly. The only times her heartbeat could beat that fast, was when she was only about six and her brother broke his leg while trying to climb into a tree house on her grandmother's farm. Her brother cried out for Celine to help carry him to the house, but all she did was turn and run. Running back to the house, her parents wanted to know what happened to her brother. Celine managed to save her brother, but that was then.

This is now.

Turning the corner, she saw the one thing she didn't want to see. Her new home, here in Morioh was burning. If it weren't for the fire, Celine would have ran in and saved everyone. All she could do was cry out her parent's names while Josui approached from behind with Josuke calling in the fire department. Josui tried to think of an idea and used water from the lawn sprinkler to put out the fire, but nothing worked. Then, Josui's Stand came out and curled it's fingers into a fist. Throwing a punch at the fire, the flames backed down a little bit. Using the Stand's punches, he had it throwing hundreds of thousands of punches that began to put push down the flames very, very slowly. His father saw what he tried to do and helped his son with a use of Crazy Diamond. Together, the fire began to nearly go out when the fire department arrived and put the rest of the fire out. Celine was about to run into the burned out partially destroyed home until a couple police officers pulled her away. She screamed in anger and wrapped her arms around Josui, who held her in his arms. Taking his jacket off, Josui wrapped it around her shoulders. They sat down on the sidewalk, while Celine began to cry. They watched as detective Springsteen approached him and began asking them questions. "Young lady, do you live here?" Celine nodded yes. "Where were you when this happened?" She looked up and said, "I was with Jojo..." Raising an eyebrow, the detective asked, "Jojo?" Josui replied, "That's me, sir. It's a nickname. She was with me at my house. My mother and father can confirm." Detective Springsteen took his overcoat off and set it on her shoulders while Josui took his jacket off of her. "Did you find my parents?" Celine looked at the detective with the tears drained from her eyes. "We haven't found them yet. Don't worry, we will." Josuke came by a few minutes later and took the Josui and Celine back to his home, worried about the frightened young girl in the backseat of the police car.

When they pulled into the driveway, Josuke asked if Josui could get the mail. Josui got out of the car and walked towards the mailbox, which was at the end of the driveway. Pulling out the mail, he turned around and accidentally bumped into a person (of indeterminate sex) and then just walked away from him. He bent down and picked up the mail that he dropped and found a card that the stranger must have dropped, with the words "Dionysus' Intervention Offices: Mental health and psychiatric treatment at all hours of the day" written on it. Turning around, the stranger was gone as if they turned into air. In fear, Josui summoned his Stand and had it look around to see if the stranger was any where nearby. There was no one around except for Josui. Running into the house, Josui asked his dad if he could talk to him in private. He and Josuke walked into the next room, then Josui pulled out the card and said, "Dad, what's Dionysus' Intervention Offices?" Josuke wondered what he meant, but then saw the card. "Oh God." Josuke examined the card with such intesity and fear. Josui asked what he was doing, which Josuke responded with, "Josui, there is no such business called Dionysus' Intervention Office, don't believe me? Look at this." Pulling out a nearly identical card that said, "Director Ivan Oliver" along with a phone number on it, he told Josui, "If anything, this means something else. Even looking it up, I have no idea what this means, but someone is looking for us. I found this card on Amun when he was taken to the hospital." Wait. "Amun is still alive?!" Josuke calmed him down and said, "Yes, but he's in a coma. He lost a lot of blood and was almost killed. I know how you feel about this, but we need him alive." Josui calmed down and tried to understand his father's point of view. Josuke walked out and talked to his wife and Zeppeli about taking in Celine for a few days while Josui pulled out his phone and looked at card. Then he got an e-mail, only for Josui to be shocked after finding that Dionysus' Intervention Offices was a real building in Tokyo.
