Ten Years Ago; Street Motel (Somewhere in California)-
The young boy had stayed quiet the entire car ride, and even shortly after they arrived in a small street motel. The people that had picked him up, clearly had a destination, he knew that much.
Though he highly doubted they would be willingly to tell them even if he asked nicely. The people that had recently picked him up--He had never seen other people other than Kihara, but... He could tell, they were ones not to be trifled with.
He sat on one of the spare beds, the collar had been long since removed, as he could faintly hear the sound of helicopters and police sirens; as he played the game Feitan had just finished cutting his hair shorter. He had been playing a game of solitaire as he could faintly hear their conversation over the phone as he had been listening to the music on the walker. Or at least, one of them was; the others had just been waiting patiently.
"We succeeded in retrieving the boy--" Shizuku said, over the phone, "--We took care of the witnesses too." She paused for a moment as the person over the phone spoke; it hadn't been long before she spoke up again, "Actually he didn't resist at all, he just came willingly. He's pretty smart for someone who's still very young. What shall we do?"
The young boy looked to the one named Shizuku as she nodded slightly.
"Understood. I'll tell the others." Shizuku said before she hung up.
"Well?" Feitan said, tossing away the strands of hair on the plastic tarp that was underneath, "What did the Boss say?"
"He told us to bring the boy to the hideout as planned." Shizuku replied, "Uvo, Machi and Hisoka are bringing the other one as we speak. He thinks by traveling together we can keep a better eye on them if they do decide to run."
"So I wasn't the only one they wanted." The boy thought as he didn't take his eyes off what he was doing, "Or rather whoever this Boss of theirs wanted. I wonder if they took this Asset Butterfly that was on the project. I remember I was supposed to fight her."
"Was it wise to leave that guy alive?" Nobunaga asked.
"There's a limit to what Blinky can eat." Shizuka told them. "He disliked the aftertaste he got after eating both hands."
"It wouldn't matter either way." Feitan replied. "The police won't believe him."
"I did a quick research on him." Pakunoda replied. "The man made a name for himself. If he went to law enforcement they would have imprisoned him right away. Unless of course he paid them off."
"If anything we made sure he fears us, so that he will never mess with us again." Feitan told them
Nobunaga soon looked out the window, noticing two copters that had been overhead. "Does he really think paying these guys will do him any good?" Nobunaga asked.
"He's persistent. I'll give him that." Pakunoda commented.
"In any case we can't make more of a mess then we already have." Feintan said, "We just need to keep our heads low while we're moving them, that's all."
"And in the event we are caught?" Shizuku said.
"Only then we'll have to kill them." Pakunoda said casually, "That's all there is to it."
"Then I have no complaints." She said.
"Same with me." Nobunaga said.
Feintan had said with a sigh of his own, "Like we have a choice."
