CHAPTER III

"I'm going to bed ok" Yuri asked. Richard nodded.

"I'll sleep on the sofa" Richard said. Yuri smiled.

"I'm sure you could sleep with me but I'd be thinking of Cloud."

"So will I" Richard said and they both laughed.

"Goodnight" Yuri said, walking towards an archway leading to the Unfourtunaly double bedded bed room. They were supposed to be lovers after all.

Even at night the temperature was comfortable instead of cold. Richard had heard rumours that the temperature of Italy had been lower but that was before the Dark Pokemon War. It had changed a lot of things. Richard had a deep suspicion that the equivalent with this villa's landlady, who had gone on holiday to England recently, was entirely insane. Despite the best weather he had ever experienced Richard couldn't sleep. He wasn't very good at sleeping in somewhere new the first night. After that things got easier but tonight he might still be awake for a while. He guessed it was about 1:30 local time. He heard something. It was a soft tread. The villa was actually on top of four thick wooden posts, for some reason, and a flight of stairs led up to its entrance. The sound was of someone walking up the stairs as quietly as he or she could. He or she was clearly professional because if an amateur tried to get up them quietly he would ironical end of being as noisy as possible. It had nothing to do with the stairs, it was just sod's law. There was the sound of a lock being picked now. Richard turned towards the back of the sofa and pretended to be asleep. He heard the intruder come in and walk towards him probably just to check that he was in a deep sleep. Richard lay still and waited to he could feel that the intruders was just behind him. Suddenly he swung his left leg out to kick the intruder in the stomach. The enemy, a tough, clean shaven black harried man in his early thirties, was now off balance. Richard used this opportunity to grab his shoulders and pull him forwards. Richard quickly rolled off the sofa, which the man fell onto. Richard then gripped his hands on held him there with the hands resting together on his back. With one hand Richard reached for where he guessed the gun the man would probably be carrying was. It was in his inner left jacket pocket. The jacket and the rest of the intruders clothes were loose and comfortable like Richard's. It was best in this kind of weather.

"Get up" Richard said with a not entirely forced hardness and anger in his voice. Richard let go off his hands, the gun blocking any possible tricks, and the man stood up and faced him.

"What's happening?" Yuri asked coming out from under the archway.

"I found one of Mr. Astron's employees trying to get in. If he doesn't want to get killed he'd better not try to fuck us over" Richard replied.

"Ok. I worked for Mr. Astron but he told me not to kill. I'm just here to see if your here and what defences you have" he said in English but with an Italian accent.

"All right. What are you going to tell him?" Richard asked with still the hard edge to his voice.

"Whatever you want me to" he replied. He sounded scared. Good.

"Are you suggesting we make a deal you two faced bastard?" Richard.

"Yes. Don't kill me" the intruder.

"All right. You fuck off back to Sean Astron right now and tell me we're here but nothing else and we'll let you go. If you don't then I'll kill right now. Understand?" Richard asked.

"Perfect. It is easy for me to do that" the intruder said moving towards the door.

"One more thing. Tell us where we can find Sean Astron tomorrow night?" Richard ordered.

"Ok. You'll find him in El Stranigo Astron. Its a restaurant he owns. He'll be there from seven" the intruder answer.

"Thank you. Goodnight" Richard said, watching the intruder go.

"At least now we're certain of where we'll find him" Richard said to Yuri. She nodded and went back into her bedroom.
