Have you ever had a past that you wish you could forget about? Well, this is definitely the case for Ruvyzvat... Since he was a child, he had experienced tragic events, from living on the streets to a more... touchy experience... He wishes he could...
They weren't sure just how long they were sitting like that. It felt like an extraordinarily long time, but for all they knew, it may have been only five minutes while Ruv finally let all his bottled-up emotions out and Mondo just supported him... Finally, Ruv was able to collect himself and pull himself away from Mondo, dragging himself across the room to wipe his eyes. Mondo came up to him.
Mondo: You all right? Anythin' I can do?
Ruv: Just tend to Marcie... [Mondo glanced over his shoulder, finally noticing the shackled teen gecko on the wall. He immediately approached her]
Mondo: Oh hey... Sorry, didn't mean to ignore ya there... [Marcie only looked back at him silently, no real reaction. Clearly she had gone through a lot recently, on top of watching Ruv beat the living crap out of Yamanaga, followed by his complete meltdown...] S'ok, kiddo... [Mondo knelt down and messed with her shackles] Let's get ya out of here.
Marcie: Mashoru has the keys... [Mondo turned to make his way over to Yamanaga's badly smashed body... noticing Ruv wasn't around anymore.] Hey... did ya by chance see where my big bro went off to? [Marcie quietly shook her head. Mondo sighed, figuring Ruv being by himself probably wasn't a good idea at the moment... But he couldn't worry about him right now. Marcie was shackled to that wall long enough, and who knows what was happening to her while she was shackled. She needed to be let free and gotten help. So he chose to tend to her and look for Ruv later. After unlocking her shackles, he wrapped a nearby blanket around her to cover herself, lifted her up, and took her upstairs to the living room] I've got yeh... [Tears started streaming down her cheeks] Yer safe now. [Leon had just gotten off the phone as Mondo came into the living room, carefully placing Marcie on the couch]
Leon: I called the police like you told me to! They're sending some cop cars over, and an ambulance too!
Mondo: Good job, Leon! Hey, y'haven't seen Big Bro walk by, didja? [Leon nodded]
Leon: I was talking to the operator when he walked past, but didn't say anything. I think he went outside.
Mondo: Outside... Great. Who knows how far he went? Okay, listen. I want you and Taka to stay here and keep an eye on Marcie. I'll go find Big Bro. [Leon nodded again as Mondo headed outside. He walked over to Marcie, who was curled up on the couch with tears in her eyes]
Leon: Are you Marcie? [The gecko glanced up Leon and gave a small nod] My name's Leon Kuwata! [The redheaded rockstar smiled] Are you okay? [Marcie responded by glancing back downwards. Leon frowned] I'm sorry... I guess you aren't... Marcie didn't acknowledge him. But the redheaded rockstar suddenly grew optimistic again] Hey, y'know your mom hired us to come look for you! [Marcie glanced back up at him] She was really sad when she told us you were missing... She really misses you... I bet she's gonna be so happy when we tell her we found you! [Marcie slowly grew a smile on her face as tears fell down once more]
Marcie: Thank you...
