Six o'clock had just rolled around. The underground cave was buzzing with activity, people reuniting and others ending up wanting to kill each other. Jimmy and Lance were chatting idly to Dan, and while Dick was shooting a death glare to Phil, Benji was bothering the two women in the group. "So," He began to both of them, "Are you two dating each other, or are you both single? 'Cause I am to-" He groaned when Analise elbowed him in the ribs, reached and splayed his hands on the impact site. "Ow!" He complained to her, and stared, "You gotta be so rough? I'm usually the rough one in the--" 

This time, Phil smacked him over the head, and Hayley shot him a thankful look. "Don't be an ass, Raze." She added to Benji, and he blinked as she sauntered away. 

He whistled, and this time, Analise threw a shoe at him. After sending her a glare and looking after Hayley again, he headed over to Phil. "You're my numero uno no matter what, bud, but she's hot." Benji began to Phil, who only sent him a frown and shook his head. Benji's shoulder's dropped and he stuck out his bottom lip in a pout, nudging his best friend. "Why not? Dude, I'm cute, she's cute, why can't we be cute together?" 

"Her brother is a Detective who can kill you." Phil offered smoothly, and gave a grin to Benji, ruffling his hair. "That's why, Benji." Then he looked over, waved to Dan, and the man parted with his friends to head over. After they took a seat on one end of the table, Analise, Hayley, Lance, Jimmy and Dick all filled the other side, although Lance was more on the other side than he was with his own 'team'. 

"Am I a judge?" Hayley began, and shot Dick a look, "Get me a gavel, Dick." She ordered, and her brother frowned, before he stood and turned to grab one, because why not, and set it down in front of her. Before she picked it up, Benji raised one hand, and after announcing that he felt like this was as crazy as high school, he turned to Dick.

Then he put his hands on the table. "How do you get Dick from Richard? I don't get it." He announced, and Dick looked over and flashed a charming smile, lifting his shoulders.

"Ask nicely." He offered, and Benji's face fell for a moment, and then his entire face went red and he snickered into his hands, nudging Phil repeatedly with his shoulder. Before Phil could hit him and tell him how childish he was, Hayley banged the gavel on Dick's finger once, lightly, and then on the table several times.

She promptly continued with, "Let's not make anymore stiff jokes about Dick, okay?" Beside her, Analise let her head fall to the table and gave a small huff, but Hayley was already grinning and laughing at her own joke. Dick's cheeks were tinged a light colour too, and as he leaned his elbows on the table, he stared to her.

Lance cleared his throat. "Let's get this meeting started, uh-huh?" Jimmy agreed with a nod and leaned against him, pressing a kiss to his cheek and whispering something to him.

"Okay!" Hayley announced, and stood up. She was in uniform despite the top part, which was on a different table, and she was looking towards Phil and Dan before she let her gaze travel, almost smiling. "We're working with, uh, Dan, Phil and Benji as of now, so you're going to get used to them, alright? You guys all know each other, and as long as Dick's a good brother, no one's going to die." She pat her brother's head, and he looked a little baffled before he rolled his eyes and turned away. 

"Shortest meeting ever." Analise declared as she stood up, "Deck out in your gear and get ready for the outside world, team." Then she looked over her shoulder to her partner and best friend's brother, Dick, and smiled. "Come on, loser, we've gotta check security cameras to get a rough location." Dick stood up and nodded firmly, heading after her.

They'd paired up, the groups going out, and Phil was kind of happy he was stuck with Lance, because that meant he didn't have to worry about Dan and didn't have to deal with Benji. They were close to a cluster of warehouses, and while they were mostly silent, Lance did scan the area on the odd time and offer information to Phil. He was civil, and Phil gave him a fist bump in his head, because he doubted most people were like that.

He felt bad for Hayley too, because she ended up with Benji.

"There's someone!" Lance said in a hushed voice to Phil, and looked over before down to where he was, helmet exactly like Phil's, but dark, black, shiny in the dim light of the street lamps. He was heading towards a warehouse, and with a little sick feeling growing in his stomach, Phil launched down and aimed a gun at him. 

"Freeze!" He announced, snarled, and the person turned to Phil, but the minute Phil saw the gun, he dove to the side. The shot missed, and Phil lifted his own, but the figure had disappeared into the night. He was stuck sitting on the floor, and when he opened his mouth and looked up to Lance. "Get to the warehouse!" He yelled, and Lance took a step towards that way, but it erupted into flames, and the minute Phil heard screams, he ran towards. 

"Don't!" Came Lance's voice, and he jumped down too, grabbed Phil's arm. "You'd burn, Devil! You can't!" 

Phil ran past him anyways to the flames, and when he swung open the door, the first thing he noticed was a girl curled up on the ground, about six, and she was screaming, yelling and pointing to a beam when she saw him, saying 'Lia!'. Phil's heart broke as he leaned down and swooped her into his arms, pulling her out. "Lia's in there!" The girl screamed, "Lia! My sist-ah, Lia, she's--" She broke off, sobbed into Phil's chest as he he took her out of the warehouse, set her down.

"Why were you in there?" He asked once he'd set her down, "Are you okay?" He looked up to Lance, and the man nodded, ran off to grab someone--The police, the firefighters, an ambulance-something. 

"We were explorin', me and Lia, and she..." She struggled to move his arms from her shoulders. "She's in there, mister, I gotta go in! Please!"

He was going to stop this sick guy before things went too far.
