Wow, this is my longest chapter till now. #proud But because some of them are separated there will be a lot of switching from places, more than the previous chapter. So I used this ~ sign when they switch so it doesn't get all too confusing. Have fun reading everyone!
"Thank you for the tour yesterday, Ravi." Lewis put a hand on Ravi's shoulder.
"Yeah, it was amazing!" Anastasia came walking next to them.
"I need to thank you for the drug you gave me. It so much easier talking to you guys with it."
"Wait, you didn't give Ravi a nickname?" Aiden asked as he walked next to Lewis.
"Yeah, Drago hasn't one either. Only you and the girls, flame head."
"I hate you." Aiden walked to Drago and the girls.
"Love you too."
"Where are we heading, Ruby?" Lotus asked.
"I think I can best show you on a map...uhm Drago can I have the map please?"
"Of course my lady." Kneeled down and handed her the map of Tokyo.
"Thank you but do a have a flashlight. I can't see very much in the dark." Ruby picked the map out of his hands and Drago held the flashlight above it.
"Alright, Scorpio is nooooowww here." She made a circle around the place Scorpio has to be.
"That's pretty close so we can have another vacation day, yay!" Lyra clapped cheerfully.
After a minute walk, they stopped before an alleyway.
"So Scorpio is in this alleyway?" Aiden asked and Ruby shook her head.
"No, here's some sort of alleyway system. I'll go and get him. You guys can wait here. I'll keep my com on if something happens. See you guys soon!" And she ran off into the night.

She saw him leaning against the wall and looking at his watch. She couldn't really make out his features in the dark but she knows for sure it's him. She started walking towards him and he looked up to her. His eyes widened and his mound opened as if he wanted to say something but it was too late. A gunshot was heard and a bullet zoomed passed Ruby's arm making a cut. She ducked on the ground and got thrown over someone's shoulder.

They heard the sound of a gunshot.
"Was that?" Aiden asked slowly.
"Ru...by." Tears formed in Lotus her eyes as she started to run just like Lyra.
"RUBY!" Lyra shouted as she ran. Lewis gripped her from behind.
"NO, LET ME GO!" She struggled in Lewis grip as he lifted her up and put her back against the wall.
"Calm down, do you want to get yourself killed!"
"Let me go! I need to go to her! I need..." Tears formed in her eyes as she tried to free herself from Lewis grip.
Lewis got closer to her than he already was, their faces almost touching. "You're not the only one who's broking and we can't lose you too. Look."
Lotus became a statue since Ravi stopped her and he and Anastasia tried to bring her alive again. Aiden and Drago are so stressed they are now shouting at each other. Lyra relaxed a bit but tensed up when we realized how close she was to Lewis.
