"Why didn't you tell me you were alive?" Jane asked eyes focused on the road as he and his sister sat in his car, following behind Han and Owen's cars

"Why didn't you tell me you were alive?" Jane asked eyes focused on the road as he and his sister sat in his car, following behind Han and Owen's cars. Lily side glanced, "I couldn't, even now this is pretty bad. People wanted me dead for a reason, even if it wasn't my fault. The Yakuza gave me a place to hide. It was a double-edged sword." said Lily. Jane grimaced, "in other words, I'm not going to get a straight answer anytime soon." He muttered. With a heavy sigh Jane shook his head, "who knew mom was right, she always had a hunch something was off about them not letting us see the body." said Jane.

Lily gave her brother a hopeful smile, "but its good all the same, this. Isn't it?" she asked. Jane chuckled, "a bit, its good to see you - even if it is a dick-ass move not to let anyone know you're alive." he said.

Han cleared his throat and it came in over the walkies, "You're aware I heard that, yeah?" He asked. 

"You shoulda heard it, It is a dick-ass move. stop complaining." Kiku chimed in.

Lily laughed lightly, "this is a fun group you've found." she said. "Hopefully we can help make it whole again," she said. 

The earth beneath the crew started to shake and within seconds a sound like dull thunder echoed from below them, the streets cracking slightly as buildings and trees swayed.

"Em, what the hell was that?" Twinkie asked into the blue tooths.

Owen smirked, "that was our backup." He said simply. "back up?" Sean questioned. "Back up from who? you're causing earthquakes now?" Sean asked.

"What good is that going to do?" Han asked.

"It's not an earthquake, it's our way in. follow me to the parking garage it's just a mile or so away," said Owen.


Meanwhile, Bree and Gisele tried their best to remain steady within the air vent, ears covered to drown out the series of loud explosions. The noise came from everywhere, the blaring sirens and the hissing of water spouts in the ceiling quickly relaced the soft rumbles remaining.

"What..." Bree exhaled looking towards Gisele, "what just happened? I would ask if it was something your people had as a fail-safe but, judging by the look on your face...." Bree murmured.  Gisele shook her head, her eyes clearly unhappy, "I do not know. It could be whoever is trying so desperately to get you out. Cyber more than likely..." said Gisele.

Bree watched her carefully, her words ended as if she was holding something back. "its best not to pry yet." Bree thought to herself. Right now she and Gisele seemed to be on the same side, even traped with the possibility of memory wiping, Bree had no desire to hand herself over to Cyber. "So what do we do now? continue to chill up here or what?" Bree asked.

As Gisele went to speak, soft metallic scuttling echoed through the vents. Bree felt as if a stone dropped into her gut, "that there is your answer, those things are the vents now. We need to leave." said Gisele, without a second thought, she slipped out of the vent.
