::He eyes the message before closing the PHS:: I know better than to question Anya's info now. If she said it's dangerous, I better tread carefully or this will be one mission that'll be my last. ::He looks back to the high priority targets:: Four to choose from. But the question is, who'll be first?

::Kerion's PHS goes off again, Anya's calling him directly now. When he opens it, she speaks hastily::
Anya: Kerion? Kerion?! It's worse than we thought! Don't--ungh!
::The line goes dead for a moment before another voice comes on over the line::
Astaroth: Tsk tsk, you went behind my back? I'm hurt.

::His eye narrows: "Who are you truly, and what have you done with Anya?! I swear, if you harm her in any way..."

Astaroth: Oh she's fine. Let's just say her blouse just matches her pretty red hair now. She'll be fine if you can get to her in time. But it's not her I'd be worried about.
::Once again, the line goes silent, and a third voice comes over the PHS::
Maria: Uncle Kerion? Are you--
::She cuts off as the communicator is ripped back from her hands::
Astaroth: Get the picture now?

::Kerion growls before he quickly hangs up and runs out the door, running towards the docks for the airships:: I swear to whatever god there is I'll make that b***h pay for dragging Maria into this! ::He gets to the Blackjack, docked and the cargo door standing wide open. he runs in and heads towards the computer room.:: "Anya!" ::He sees her on the ground, the slash on her abdomen:: "Hang on!" ::He rushes to her side and checks her wound. He cracks open the emergency first-aid kit and tends to her:: "Anya, where is Maria?"

::Maria coughs and holds a hand to her wound::
Anya: The... the b***h has her.
::Unable to speak anymore, with a shaky finger she points to her PHS still lying on the ground. Alicia's voice rings out clearly over it::
Astaroth: This is what happens when the baby chick ventures too deep into the wolf's lair. You didn't think I'd trace the signal back here? Or find out about letting that rebel b***h slip away from you last night? Well thanks to you, the man I work for is in a very fould mood. I have a lot of cleaning up to do. And the more he presses down on my throat, the more I'm going to squeeze hers. Little Maria will be staying with me, and if you want to see her again, you'll make damn sure that each and every name on that list is dead. And I think I'll add two more names to your quota: Oliver Fray Tipp, and Iole Blakeney. I doubt I need to send you any details.
::Then the PHS clicks off::

::Kerion growls at her demand, but then remembers Anya's still injured. He applies pressure to the wound to stop the bleeding as he wraps the gaze around the wound. It's shoddy, but it had to do until he gets her to a hospital:: "Hang on Anya, I'm not going to lose you." ::He picks up her form and runs out to the closet hospital, but his mind now set on what he now has to do:: Iole, Oliver. I'm sorry, but I got to do this if I want to save Maria. ::He gets her to the hospital and will asked the doctor to keep him informed of her condition before heading back to his apartment::

::He gets back, slamming the door behind him. His anger gets the better of him as he punches one of the walls. But with the added strenght of the kelvar and steel in his glove, he knocks a hole in the wall.:: Damn, looks like I'm going to have to pay for that to be fixed. ::He looks back to the remaining targets, his eye now narrowed:: Still alot to do. She better uphold her end of the agreement, otherwise whe'll find out what happens when you mess with a parent's child! ::He gets back to the files and studies them over until he knows everything by heart::

::He hears his PHS ringing and looks at the caller ID, seeing it's marked private:: Must be her. he thought bitterly before answering it. "Kerion here." he said, his voice sounding neutral.

Astaroth: Your little Maria was just telling me the most interesting story. Now wouldn't it be a shame if the doors on her new life were closed prematurely? But I know you won't let that happen will you.

"Did you call me for a reason besides threating me?" He replied.

Astaroth: You might have a chance to take them all out at once today. Just follow the explosions.
::It's cryptic, but that's all she gives him before she clicks her end off::

Explosions? ::He gathers his gear and gets to the door. He walks out of the hotel and wanders the streets, eventually seeing the ShinRa bombers:: That doesn't look good... ::Runs after them to see where they're heading, but sees them get shot out of the sky:: Guess that answers my questions.
