||Y/n POV||
Everyone was asleep while I was sitting on the roof, talking to Eiji when Ash walked up to us.

"What's that?" Ash asked and Eiji looked at the good luck charm in his hand, "Oh, this? It's a good luck charm. My kid sister gave it to me when I left. But it's a good luck charm for love. That airhead" Eiji said and Ash stood beside me.

"Do you miss Japan?" I asked, he looked at me, "To be honest, yeah. A little bit... You know that tall long-haired man, don't you? It's because of him you two left, right?... He didn't seem like a bad guy," Eiji said and I looked down, frowning.

"Tell him that and see how he likes it. He's a professional assassin," Ash said, I looked up at the sky, "He taught us how to kill. Under Dino. For 2 years. He was our teacher," I said

"So that guy is now with Yut-Lung..." Eiji said and then we saw Sing walk in, he had bruises everywhere, and he took a step further but fell.

I had cleaned up his scars and bruises as he slowly opened his eyes, "Are you okay?" Eiji asked. Sing got panic and sat up but I stopped him, "Sing, what's wrong?" 

"Where are my guys? Where are they?" he asked, forcing himself to sit up again.

"They were taken somewhere else. We were loaded onto different cars" Alex said. 

"Oh man, I'm going back to Chinatown. I have to go, or they'll all be killed. Yut-Lung is keeping them as hostages to lure me out" Sing said, he started to walk but I walked in front of him

"Calm down, Sing," I said, Ash, walked up to us. "He'll kill you all anyway if you go back now," he said and Sing looked down, "You say that because they're not your guys. And you...!" I interrupted him.

"I said, calm down. We will help you. You need to rest now. You saved us so many times already... Eiji look after him," I said and Eiji nodded, smiling. Ash and I walked away when Sing took hold of Ash's shirt, "Ash, Y/n, you have to save them. Save my guys. I dragged them into this. They all trusted me" Sing said and I smiled.

"We know. Don't worry" Ash said and we walked away.

We have found Sing's guys and now we were back in Cain's hideout. Ash had a suit and I had my dress, we walked to the condo and Ash was writing something on the computer when we heard someone walk in, we held up our guns but lower them when we saw it was Max. "Easy now, don't shoot your old dad," Max jokingly said

"It's you," I said in relief

"I knew you'd be back," he said.

||In the kitchen||

"Is Eiji okay?" He asked as he made coffee, I nodded "Yeah,"

"Good. So that data and my job didn't go to waste" Max said and held out two mugs to us, "You were here the whole time?" Ash asked as he took the mugs and gave one to me.

"I rented the room next door. Actually, News Week is paying for it" Max said

"But you were fired," I said confused. 

"I don't want you to feel like you have to, but I could use your help," Max said

Max, Ash, Steven, and I sat in a café that was across the street from a Gay bar. "The owner is Frank Sanchez. Everyone calls him a Frog. The penthouse above is his hideout" I said and Steven sighed... "He's doing well for himself," He said
