::It's the day after the bombing of the Crest, and Kerion hasn't recieved any new orders or news of Maria. The fighting going on around the city with the LPA pushing out of the Crest doesn't seem to concern him anymore. Anya lies in what appears to be a peaceful sleep in the hospital bed. He guesses she won't be very happy when she wakes up to find that her usual clothes have been replaced by a patient's gown::

::Outside her room:: "What's her condition doc?"
"To be honest, she doesn't have much time."
"WHAT?!"
::The doctore chuckles at his response:: "I'm kidding, she's going to be fine. The wound was no problem, but it would of been the blood lost that would of killed her. She'll be abit weak fbecause of that, so I suggest nothing strenious for the next few days."
::he nods before heading to the door, but he stops and looks to the doctor, a glare on his face:: "Never joke around with me like that." ::He then opened the door and entered the room. He closed the door and got next to her bed, pulling a nearby chair to him and sitting down on it.:: First I need what info Anya has. If its serious, I'm cutting my ties to the police and searching for Maria. And when I find her, Miss Strauss will find out why you don't mess with someone dear to me.

::Anya's lips break into a smile::
Anya: Didn't know you cared that much.
::She opens her eyes and pulls herself into a sitting position, groaning and clutching her side::
Anya: Where's Maria? Have you found anything out yet?

::He shakes his head:: "I have no clue where that witch has her. But before you were attacked by her, you said you found something. What was it that you discovered?"

::Anya sighs::
Anya: That's what I was afraid of. By the time I got through their firewall, I could only glean a few things before their reboot fried my entire system. It'll take days to recover all the files that were lost. But before everything went black I found some pretty bad stuff. You name it, demon summoning, expermiments with the sorceress power, even some of the taboo practices of Adolph Crowlith. And a lot of it I don't even think the Regent knows about. This Internal Affairs branch is doing some dark stuff. I was going to tell you to cut ties with them, but that was before they took Maria. So what do they have you doing now?

"They still have me hunting down the terrorist, but now they also have me hunting down two friends of mine. I told you about them from the last time Lindblum hired me. If I don't, Maira's life will be in danger." ::He sighs:: "But I will be cutting my ties to them after I find where she has Maria. Once I know she's out of danger, I'll deal with Strauss myself."

Anya: That's sick. When you find her, give her a bullet for me.
::Before she can say more, Kerion's PHS vibrates. Inside is a text message, it's subject entitled "Truce"::
New Orders. Forget all previous targets. Reassigned to two new and final marks. Go to this address and await further orders. Succeed and she goes free.

::He looks at the message, his eye narrowed:: Now my targets have changed. I don't like this... ::Looks to Anya and shows her the message:: "Smells like a trap to me."

::Anya reads the message::
Anya: So what are you going to do?

"I'll check it out, what other choice do I got?" ::He stands:: "I'm sorry for dragging you and Maria into this Anya."

Anya: Hey, we know what kind of work you do. If I've stuck around this long then it's my own stupid fault. Besides, I'm not as helpless as some people think.
::She grins slyly::
Anya: I managed to slip a tracer on her when she attacked me. I'll need my laptop back to get the coordinates, but once I have them, I'll wire them to your PHS. But for now just play along. There has to be a reason her orders changed so suddenly. And if we can get Maria back before you go and rearrange that witch's pretty little face, it'll be easier in the long run.

::He nods:: "I'll stop by and drop it off before I head there. Get some rest while I'm out."

::She gives him a forced smile::
Anya: I know, you can't live without me. You don't have to say it. Tell you what, when this is all over how about you give me a foot massage and we call it even.

"Assuming another job doesn't come up." he joked before he walked to the door. "So, take that as a yes." ::He exits the room::

::After Maria's rescue::
::Kerion knocks on her door, after hearing her ask, he steps in::
"It's me."
Anya: How did it go? Did you get Maria back?
::He steps out of the doorway to show her that Maria was behind her::
"Does this answer your question?" He joked as Maria ran to her, but stops realizing Anya is still injuried.

"And I got some more good news, the doc said you can be discharged today, but suggests you take it easy until the wound fully heals."
::At the Blackjack::
::Anya noticed instead of him having the ship preped to leave, she sees him loading rounds into empty clips before::
Anya: I thought we were leaving, you're looking like your preparing for war.
"It's because I am Anya." He replied. "There's still some things I got left to do here before we leave."
Anya: I thought you broke off that contract?
"I did, but this is a different reason. This war won't end until the regent is dead. And knowing how fortified the palace is, I don't think the LPA will get near without some help. If the regents men don't know that I'm no longer working with them, I'll make a way in for them."
Anya: How?
"Good old C4. I'll plant enough to make a back door for them to enter."
Anya: And what if they know you defected?
"Plan B. I'll draw some of them away, thining their ranks. And with the decrease in guards, they'll take them down and get in."
Anya: And does the LPA know about this?
::Kerion shakes his head:: "I'm the last person they would want to trust after everything I put them through. But I do hope Iole will at least hear me out on this."
