Violet and Han stood in their bedroom in their apartment, staring down at the little girl that Han found in the house. When Han came to the getaway car with the briefcase and a child, Violet was beyond shocked. However, they both agreed to talk about it when they were in the safety of their apartment. Han told Violet that he found out that the scientists had a daughter, and it seems as if they had planned on killing all three of them tonight and steal the project.

Stealing the project was one thing, but now they had a little girl as an add-on.

Violet looked down at the sleeping girl. "Mr. Nobody failed to mention they had a daughter."

"He also failed to mention that somebody else was after Project Aries." Han gestured his head. They were going to allow the girl to sleep – she went through something as traumatic as watching her parents die in a car bombing. Violet felt for the little girl, having to see her parents die in that manner and to think she would have been in that with them.

Violet understood the pain she was going through. After losing her father the way he died, Violet felt like she slept for days – and honestly, everything was a blur after the accident. She couldn't remember much, not even her father's own funeral. Violet was completely numb for what felt like months, and then having Dom getting arrested and thrown in prison for two years, Violet's life felt like it was going down the drain.

That little girl was going to go through the same thing that Violet did.

"Who would want the project?" Violet asked.

Han scoffed. "Who wouldn't?" Han looked over his shoulder to Violet. "A project like that, I'm not surprised that somebody else would be there." He rubbed the back of his neck, trying to get the smallest crack to feel a little relief. He had to beat the shit out of those guys who planned on stealing Project Aries and kill that girl.

"You gonna be okay for tomorrow?" Violet asked.

Han had promised Sean that he'd teach him how to drift. Those lessons started tomorrow – Han wasn't looking forward to it, but he kept his promises. Han nodded his head, "We need to talk to Mr. Nobody-" Han and Violet turned their heads to the door. Someone was outside it, knocking.

Violet walked towards the door. "We only said his name twice." Violet pushed open the door, allowing Mr. Nobody into their apartment. "Did you just happen to be in the neighborhood?" Violet asked.

Mr. Nobody nodded. "I heard that the ramen is delicious." Mr. Nobody commented. Violet couldn't help but roll her eyes at his comment.

Han continued to rub his neck. "Man, you forgot somethin'." Han commented as he walked forward. Mr. Nobody gave an innocent look. "You didn't tell us that they had a daughter." Han added.

Mr. Nobody turned his head to the hall that lead down to the bedroom. He could see Elle asleep on the bed. "Ah yes, well I did say steal Project Aries, Miss Elle is part of that." Violet made a face moving around Mr. Nobody to stand next to Han. "Oh, did I not mention that?" Mr. Nobody asked.
