ᵉⁿᵍˡⁱˢʰ Pour Some Sugar on Me [Bullet Train]

With a mumbled "okay," Alex settled into the seat next to the group of four where Lemon and the dead boy sat, leaning the back of her head against the headrest where she turned her head slightly to the side to see if anyone was peeking behind her.

Safe was safe. What would happen to Lemon anyway? At the moment, no one was going to kill him anyway, because he was already completely unconscious, and very few people would kill an unconscious man who they thought wouldn't last much longer.

So he was quite relaxed.

There was nothing suspicious to hear or see, let alone a person acting suspiciously, or at least appearing to do so, walking through the compartment. Everything was quiet... and boring. A short breather. This train ride was anything but boring, so a break could be described as downright boring.

As for Tangerine's return, there was only one piece of news. Nothing. His search had only ensured that Ladybug had eluded him as well. At least his mood was no longer unbearable, but rather quite relaxed, which seemed rather unreal considering the circumstances and the last encounter with Ladybug.

Now the big question. Did Ladybug really still have the case with him? Or someone else long ago? To be honest, Alex would have had no desire to walk around with it all the time, no matter how much money was in it. For a short moment, no problem, but not if you had to be constantly afraid that everyone was looking for it. Just get out. Done. That's what Alex would do with the suitcase if he were Ladybug. Just get out.

New plan, because obviously nothing had come of the current plan with the suitcase, and nothing would come of it in the future, so a new one was needed. To find the man who had killed Minegishi's son.

"He's no better than the old one," Alex chuckled and shook his head, "You don't even know how Junior died. Or from what."

The only thing that made it better was that, once again, one of Minegishi's people had been killed.

"He's no better than the old one," Alex chuckled and shook his head, "You don't even know how Junior died. Or from what."

The only improvement was that once again one of Minegishi's people called to make sure that everything was going according to plan, that there were no problems and that the two brothers hadn't been gone long.
