     We arrive at the location listed on the paper and begin to look for any clue, gift or person. There has to be something here that leads us further to their boss.

"Saffron, stay with Trish. Absolutely do not leave her side." Abbacchio orders

"Why don't I just turn her into a frog and keep her in my pocket?" I ask sarcastically

"Whatever keeps her safe and you quiet." He walks away as he speaks

"You're so into him." Trish speaks with a little bit of attitude

"Am not." I reply quickly

"Dude, you so are. He's into you too, it's so obvious." She smiles and gives me a look that says she's sure

"I have a boy- I uh, I have a person." I brush her off

"Yeah a guy you ran away from and said yourself you'll probably never see again." She rolls her eyes

"Still. Now be quiet and look for a key." I sigh

"You know i'm right." She laugh's as we look

After a few minutes of looking and arguing over what's what we come across a turtle hidden away.

"Look at its shell..." Girono reaches out to touch it and it looks like he disappears

"Girono!" I yell in shock and try to grab him, getting sucked into the turtle as well

"What is this?" He yells in shock

"Saffron?" We can hear the voices outside

"Abbacchio!?" I yell out, he can't hear me

"I didn't know animals could have stands..." Giorno looks around in awe

"I did, Jotaro told me about the ones we met on his journey to egypt. Babies can have them too, he fought alongside a boston terrier named Iggy and they fight a bird with a stand and a baby." I laugh a little as I tell the story

"A baby?" He laughs

"Yeah, two actually. Old man Joestar had to babysit one of them." We both laugh

"Look!" He says excitedly and picks up a note

"Use the turtle as a mobil hide out. Keep my daughter safe, head to rome." Giorno reads

"Okay, how do we get out?" I look around and just kind of reach and grab for things

"Maybe we just climb out." Giorno climbs a table and sticks his arm up, he was right

I follow his lead and show the other the note.

"Wait... I have to stay in a turtle?" Trish says with disgust

"It's a fully furnished room with a fridge and snacks. You'll live." I shake my head

"Still it's gross! It's in an animal!" She argues

"I was literally just inside, it's fine!" I argue back

"I'm not going in there." She crosses her arms

"You're going in or i'm putting you in." I cross mine back

"I'd like to see you try." She laughs

"Fine." I smile and she looks confused

I use climbing vines to wrap her up and move her.

"What the hell!" She yells and squirms

"I said I would, and I am." I smile

"A persons only as good as their word, right?" Abbacchio smile's cockily

"See!" Trish says with an I told you so attitude as I drop her into the turtle

"What'd she see?" Narancia looks around

"Nothing. She's trying to prove a pointless point." I shake my head

"What point?" He asks again

"Nothing." I brush him off

"I'm not going to stop asking." He crosses his arms

"Then ask her." I sigh and wrap him up just the same, tossing him in

"Hey!" He whines as he goes

"Anyone else want a trip in?" I ask and they just stand there in silence

"Good. Let's go then." I smile

"We will head to the train station, once we're on we're all going to get in the turtle and hide it. There's no saying who will be on that train or who's looking for us knowing we have her." Bucciarati orders

"Let's go. Saffron, Rohan, get in the turtle." Abbacchio walks away as he speaks

"Excuse me?" I ask and he sighs heavily

"Why must you question ever order? Just do as you're told." He snaps

"So you can run around barking orders like a dog but I can't ask why?" I yell back

"You are single handedly the most infuriating woman i've ever met in my life." He speaks with sheer frustration

"Thank you." I smile kindly

"That wasn't- just- ugh!" I think I broke him

"Saffron." Rohan shakes his head at me, clearly embarrassed

"What? Dude, you're silent literally all day every day except times like this. That's the annoying thing." I sigh

"Saffron, just get in the turtle please." Giorno laughs

"See how far a please can get you?" I laugh and do as asked, Abbacchio shoots me a look that could kill

"I got my answer." Narancia says like a child

"Figured you would." I shrug and lay on one of the couches

"He wouldn't stop asking, besides I wanted to know i was right. I was." Her tone is cocky

"You're not right, you just found another person who happens to be wrong." I lay with my eyes shut

"She's absolutely right. You had abbacchio at a loss for words out there, no one ever trips him up that bad!" Narancia says in his normal childish tone

"It wasn't me tripping him up, it was my undeniable ability to aggregate anyone I want to at the tip of a hat." I smile and he laughs

"You are surprising good at that." He nods as he speaks

"Unbelievably good at it." Another voice speaks

"Sia send you in here too?" I ask, my eyes still closed

"Saffron!" Narancia throws a pillow at me

"What? Oh-" My eyes widen as I look up
to see Bucciarati

"Who's Sia?" He asks with a furrowed brow

"An artist." I shrug

"We're on the train. We have found a good spot for the turtle and will wait out here, now would be a good time to rest. We will be on here for a handful of hours, we'll switch look outs every hour or two." Bucciarati ignores me and continues to bark orders

"I can take fiest watch." Fugo offer's

"You will watch for an hour, then rest and I will take over." Bucciarati nods and we all get comfortable

Trish is in a chair, Narancia, Mista and Giorno on one couch, Bucciarati and Abbacchio are sitting on the couch i'm on. Rohan is sitting in the corner table writing away.

The train sounds quickly put us all to sleep.
