"What? Kaeya if you're joking it's really no—"

"I'm not joking Mr. Kamisato. I'm in the headquarters right now," Kaeya said.

"What?! Why are you—" "No time to ask me about that," Kaeya then went on telling Ayato where the headquarters were located.

"Thank you Kaeya, I knew you wouldn't let me down." Ayato sounded so relieved.










Thoma found where the Fatui have been keeping the drugs.

Shit..how am I suppose to get all this out?
Thoma looked around.

He saw a window in the corner of his eye, he opened it and saw that the drugs would most likely stay intact if he threw them while they were in a duffel bag (which luckily there were a bunch of, probably for trading them for close places instead of overseas). It would also be easy for the police to find them.

As he started stuffing and throwing the bags, he heard the door click open.

He jerked his head to the door to see Zhongli standing there in shock.

"Thoma, what are you doing?" Zhongli slowly walked closer.

"Oh, nothing!" Thoma backed away but ended up hitting the wall.

Zhongli took his gun out and pointed it at Thoma, face turning stern.

Thoma started to tremble, he's honestly never been in this type of situation.

"Listen Zhongli, I know you care a lot about Albedo—" Zhongli cut him off, "What does any of this have to do with Albedo?!"

"Just listen! Childe is planning to kill Albedo, so I'm just trying to distract Childe for a little bit by throwing the drugs out the window to um...rescue Albedo! Yes, yes, I want to rescue him!" Thoma lied. He knew about how much Zhongli cared about Albedo by his oversharing.

Zhongli put his gun down, "What? Childe wouldn't do something like that.."

"It's true..! I heard him talking with Tsaritsa about it.." Thoma gulped.

"He always was so obedient to Tsaritsa.." Zhongli frowned slightly, he knew it was true if Tsaritsa told him to do it.

Why are the Fatui members so gullible?
Thoma cleared his throat.

"I'm sorry. Carry on, please keep Albedo safe." Zhongli put his gun away and walked out, closing the door behind him.

Thoma let out a sigh of relief and continued.










Kaeya immediately went to Albedo's office, he obviously knew Albedo wasn't gonna be there but it was worth a shot.

When he entered Albedo's silent office, he, of course, did not see Albedo there.

He was about to leave but he something caught his eye.

He went over to Albedo's desk and saw Albedo's sketch book open to the drawing of Kaeya.

Kaeya sighed, he ripped the picture out of the note book and put it in his pocket.

"What the hell are you doing in here?" A voice said.

Kaeya let out a sharp gasp as he looked over to the door, seeing Scaramouche in the doorway.

"Don't look so scared, I'm not gonna tell anyone you're here." Scaramouche put a hand on his hip.

Kaeya didn't know if he should trust him. So he kept his guard up.

"Do you know where Albedo is?" Kaeya asked sheepishly.

"No, I don't." Scaramouche sighed. "He was taken by Childe, and—" Scaramouche cut him off, "Oh, he was taken by Childe? Then he's probably in Childe's kinky, uh, dungeony room." Scaramouche really was creative with his words.

"Yeah, thanks, that's really helpful." Kaeya rolled his eyes, "Do you know where it is at least?"

"Uhh, no. But I know it's the only door with two locks on it, though I'm pretty sure Childe always forgets to lock it." Scaramouche scoffed.

"God..that's gonna take forever." Kaeya walked over to Scaramouche and put a hand on his shoulder, "Thanks though," Kaeya nodded and went off to go find Albedo.

Scaramouche smiled.
