It was in the early morning as Theon woke up and was eating breakfast in the kitchen, waiting for someone to wake up too. He was staring endlessly at a bowl of cereal that he was swirling with a spoon. Eventually Zeillian stumbled in, the slight smell of alcohol on his breath.

"Hey," muttered Theon barely looking up from the bowl.

"Theon... You feeling better?" Asked Zeillian as he sat next to him while ARBTDE prepared breakfast for him.

"A little. Still couldn't get the burning feeling out of my chest. Even after Rose removed the bullet."

"Da, I get. I still feel knife in shoulder."

"Yeah... Zill... The Puppeteer got to me yesterday. He almost made me shoot Charston myself."

"Oh... So, both have experienced his attempts... I see... We have to stop worrying then to stop from more attempts."

"At least remember them to get revenge."

"Da, agreed... So, one knew you too?"

"Yeah, he put this note in my vest. I just wanted to have someone else around incase it's some fucked up shit," said Theon as he held out a while piece of paper.

"Da."

"Alright... Let's see this..." said Theon as he opened the note. He unfolded the note and found a few numbers scratched into it with dashes separating each one. The numbers were: 

                                                                                     10-29-36.

"Looks like date," said Zeillian as he sat down next to him.

"Yeah, but that date isn't here yet, in fact it's in nine years... Why would he write this?" Asked Theon as he turned the paper seeing if the numbers moved to words.

"I don't know. He knows you?" Inquired Zeillian.

"Yeah, I guess," said Theon as he put the paper down. "Oh, um, Zill. I'm trying to expand the Solva branch of the company and I'm going to do a few video chats with some of the higher ups there."

"Da, and you want translator?"

"Yeah, you up for it?"

"Da, no problem. What do you specialize out there for?

"We're looking at a way to increase the production of weaponry and to package vegetables and meats in a package that can warm in the field while keeping flavor and edibility intact along with a basic increase in food production in general."

"So super MRE and guns?"

"More or less. The production of movies and other entertainment out there is steady so we don't have to worry about all of that."

"Da, I saw some of them on flight to country. Still think I'm better actor."

"Yeah, sure. Also, do you mind if I add you onto and research and development team for... experimental weapons?"

"One thing at time please. But yes, I would like to."

"Alright... So, about the enemy that knew you. Any clue as to who?"

"She was wolf and spoke like Solvan. I knew number like that in Solva so, net."

"I was afraid of that. And the lion is still unknown."

"So, the note wasn't any help?" Asked Divine as she walked in with Char.

"No, it's just a date and I don't know what it could correlate to," said Theon as he turned his attention to them.
