"Hmm?" Saiki groaned out softly and gasped at the hungry mouth that went up her neck. All through the night, he made sure he knew every curve of her body. There was no square inch of her skin that he left untouched. Even now, her body was curled up into a small ball against him. His fingers left trails of fire wherever they touched, and he knew she was in a sensation overload.

"The lights aren't on yet," he mused and worked his hands over her sides.

"I thought...you'd be asleep..." she murmured out and moaned softly.

"You are too addictive to me right now. Sleep happens when it does. But then I wake up...and so does my hunger for you..." he growled in her ear.

"I will totally get even..." she muttered and hissed when he nipped her shoulder. Then she shouted with him when he joined with her.

"If you're coherent..." he chuckled after calming down with her. He saw where her phone was set and reached over to check the time. "Five in the morning. Good. We should get a digital clock in here."

"Sure..." she said a touch hoarsely. "But...why are you awake...?"

"Should I not be?" he mused and put his arms around her to secure her completely to him. He blinked at the sound of his phone vibrating to show a call was coming in. "What...the hell...?"

"You didn't turn it off in case one of the kids reached out," she chuckled.

"Damn...okay...but this early?" he frowned and answered it. "Hello?"

"Uncle Kaz! I'm sorry, but I really need your help!" Taichi said in a panicked whisper. Now he was sitting up and so was Saiki.

"What's going on?" he asked.

"I was on my way home from a late night emergency job. They were shorthanded and I volunteered to help. I figured I had time, and I always know I can help when I can. But I had just got off work and found myself being followed. Men in suits are all over the place! They chased me, and I think I lost them, but I know they're close by.

"I'm cornered now! If I move, they'll find me! I sent texts to the others. Yuta is okay. So are Eri, Mame and Ayako. I don't know about Koji, but...I'm a bit scared, Uncle Kaz..." Taichi said. Saiki was already out of bed and getting dressed. She took up her phone and checked the numbers. Then she swiped on Taichi's number to track the location.

"I found him. Tell him to sit tight. I'll get him," she said.

"I am going with you," Kiryu said.

"Just stay out of the way. Because if they touch him...I don't even think that you can pull me back," she said with a small frown.

"If they touch him...you finish the job," he growled. "And if they touch me, I would expect you to completely finish the job. Hell, just for them pulling this shit, you may as well finish it no matter what."

"Have him keep his phone on and in his pocket. I need to make sure I can track him. Our phones are linked, so I can use your phone to get to his location. In fact...there...three way calling is active. So keep your phone call active with him just in case. Let's go," she nodded. She was dressed in her black lace outfit, and he dressed in his out of date suit. He grabbed the fake glasses to slip on, and they were swiftly out the door to the elevator. When they stepped out into the park, they went over what options they had.

"Where is he?" Kiryu frowned.

"Three miles out. Not many people out right now, but I'd prefer to travel by rooftop. I don't know how your health will treat you. Or we do this. You get a cab to where he is. I'll follow from the rooftops. I can surprise attack," she mused. "You can be a bit of bait. Of course, you know I won't let you out of my sight. No matter where you are."
