"Hey this is trespassing or breaking and entering or I don't know something illegal!" Meliodas protested as they pushed their way inside. As Hawk watched from the balcony, he ran upstairs to Elizabeth's room.

"Elizabeth" he shrieked quietly "you need to hide!" Elizabeth looked up at Hawk groggily.

"Hide?" She murmured confused.

"You guys got a permit or something for this? Isn't that a thing you need?" Meliodas shouted from downstairs. "Man I really gotta start watching more of those crime shows that King likes." He mumbled to himself as he tried to stall the group.

"No time to explain, c'mon i have to find you a hiding spot!" Hawk said, grabbing her arm and pulling her out of bed. The sound of boots on stairs made him freeze "Under the bed!" He said pushing Elizabeth down "go go go go!"

They had only just managed to get Elizabeth under the bed when the large nosed man barged in. "Aha!" He exclaimed pulling back the covers of the bed to see... Hawk? "You're not a girl" he said with a frown.

"You're very observant" Hawk grumbled "can I go back to sleep now?" He asked as Meliodas appeared in the doorway.

"That's Hawk, my little brother. He's sick." Meliodas sighed. "Now would you please get out of my bar? He needs peace and quiet". Reluctantly the group left, not convinced that Meliodas wasn't hiding Elizabeth somewhere in the building. But this was starting to make them look bad, so they decided to give up... for now at least. Once the group had left, Meliodas ran back upstairs and helped Hawk get Elizabeth back in bed. "Sorry about that princess" he murmured as he pulled the blankets up over the sick girl.

"It's alright Meliodas" she murmured softly "It's alright"

"I'm sorry sir but we were unable to find the girl" Davie, the one with the big nose, said.

"Thats alright Davie, we'll find her. One way or another the Liones fortune will be mine" the shadowed figure grinned "but until that day, The Order of the Golden Wheat has no room for weaklings."

"But sir" Davie was cut off by a strangled gasp and a thump of his corpse hitting the floor as blood pooled on the floor.

"All hail the Holy Knights" The shadowed figure smirked.
