*On the road leading out of Georgia, Josephine drives her car leisurely. A person in the backseat begins conversing with her.*

???: I see you've changed your wardrobe. I think it looks pretty snazzy.

Josephine: Everyone has said that so far, so I guess I picked the right outfit. Also, it's really nice to see you again.

???: Its nice to see you too, JoJo. Haven't seen you guys in quite a while, but such is work.

Josephine: What brings you here? There's nothing wrong here, is there?

???: No, just taking a small break in-between jobs. Went to visit my wife and kids before I came here.

Josephine: How are they?

???: Oldest is going back to college with his girlfriend, youngest is entering her first year of high school.

Josephine: Accelerated aging?

???: Yeah, from what I'm told, she's reached her full maturity and will start aging normally. Her learning capabilities are something else as well.

Josephine: I see.

???: What about you? What are you doing on the road?

Josephine: Headed to massachusetts to take Harvard's guest speaker offer. I heard the president might be there too.

???: Dio is making a public appearance?

Josephine: He used to be a student at harvard, so that shouldn't be too surprising. Besides, this will give me a chance to go visit Joanne and see how she's doing.

???: Harvard...hm. Here, take this.

*The man in the backseat hands her a card with with a strange sequence of numbers on it.*

Josephine: What's this? New number?

???: Something like that. It works on all phones, so don't worry about the length.

Josephine: Alright, I'll lock it in here in a bit.

???: Alright. Listen, I'll catch you later.

Josephine: Do you need me to slow down?

???: No, I'm fine. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. Joanne could be in danger so check on her.

Josephine: You say "maybe", but I know you're serious. I'll be sure to call her. Is her life in immediate danger?

???: No, she has a few days before anything major happens. Keeping her close might be your best bet...but if she's anything like you, she won't want to be baby'd or smothered.

Josephine: Right...

???: Later, JoJo.

*They man opens the door showing blinding white light on the other side. He leaves the car and shuts the door behind him leaving Josephine in the car by herself.*

Josephine: Hm...

*In Cambridge, just outside of Armani's apartment, Joanne and the gang approach watch from afar as Cleo approaches the alleyway to meet with the mysterious stranger.*

Cleo: Which one of you did she send? Mariah? Luka?

Yamato: No, there's no need to go loud and send those two fuck-ups.

Cleo: Yamato...

Yamato: I'm just here to ask you a few questions and take you in. The boss thinks you've switched sides and betrayed us.

Cleo: No, I would never betray Scylla's trust.

Yamato: Oh, really? We heard what happened with Donovan and Ricky. Was that your handy work?
