"So they're in?" Schuldig pulled in a drag off his cigarette as Ken climbed into the shotgun seat of his Car and Nagi slid into the back.

"As if you don't know." Ken laughed, leaning back in his seat. "Things are going exactly like Brad said they would."

"Good." Schuldig nodded and started the car. As they pulled out, he glanced at Ken. "How'd you like being on the other side of the line?"

"Strange." Ken ditched the visor so he could nap comfortably. "We're all more alike than I ever realized."

"Nice of you to admit."

"Except for the whole 'screwing with minds for fun' thing." Ken poked Schuldig in the side with his index finger. "Weiss just sits around and arranges flowers during the day."

"How entertaining." Schuldig snickered around the cigarette dangling from his lips. "Lets wake up early after a night of murder and arrange some flowers."

"It's assassination." Ken corrected, then laughed. "I know that it's... Odd, when coupled with the night job."

"Odd doesn't even begin to describe it." Schuldig was still snickering. "The feline code-names just make it worse."

"The names weren't our idea." Ken pointed out. "We just kinda got stuck with them."

"I can't believe that Ken is really a member of Schwartz." Omi shook his head, idly watching the computer for a response from Manx.

"It's been a strange week." Youji agreed He wasn't helping watch the computer, but just hoping that Aya wouldn't decide that the shop should be opened again.

"It's just hard to view Ken as one of the bad guys." Omi was still upset. "Even with the changes he's gone through."

"Not just talking about the eyes, eh chibi?" Youji spooled out a length of wire from his watch.

"No, even his personality as changed." Omi glances at the computer when it beeped. "His eyes are just the most obvious things that have changed."

"It doesn't matter what team anybody is on anymore." Aya leaned against the wall and narrowed his eyes. "This will destroy not only Estet, but Taketori, also.

"And Taketori is your only concern." Youji muttered, wrapping his wire around gloved fingers, making and unmaking bored patterns.

Ken crept through the 'abandon' warehouse, bugnuk claws bared. The building was close to night-black in all but a few areas. The primary area that was lit contained a masked figure with a gun, and the smaller form of the telekinetic who was tied to a chair. Ken expected two other masked men to be wandering though the darkness, where he had the advantage. After watching the masked gun-man guarding Nagi for several minuets, then, slipped a little closer, locking his mind down carefully. Then, the masked guard pointed the gun in his direction and fired. Ken could actually see the bullet leave the gun, as the metal was reflective. For all the speed he did have, it wasn't enough and a sharp pain bit through his shoulder, brining him to his knees before he collapsed entirely.

"I heard you." The masked man said, tugging the mask off to release a fall of bright orange hair.

"So I was too loud this time?" Ken groaned, then reached up and pulled the stubby dart out of his shoulder. "These god-damn things hurt like hell."

"They're supposed to teach you a lesson."

"Never send Ken to rescue me." Nagi demanded, freeing himself from the ropes and standing up. "I could do better on my own."

"These drills suck." Ken let Schuldig pull him to his feet. "You keep shooting me!"

"Just because you never really drill with Weiss doesn't mean you get out of ours." Schuldig laughed, draping an arm affectionately around Ken's shoulders, giving the unharmed shoulder a light squeeze. "We don't normally drill this intensely, but Crawford refuses to have someone who doesn't know the full potential of there abilities in the field. Fortunately, It's the easiest to learn to use Physical abilities like yours."

"Easiest?" Ken's eyebrows raises. "Trying to remember that whenever you go from dark to light you've got to put the visor back down is a pain."

"See, before we try to handle a mission, we want that automatic. So it doesn't get anyone killed." Nagi coiled up the rope that had been used to 'tie' him up. "Are we done, Brad?"

"Yes." Bradley Crawford strolled out of the dark and into the circle of light followed by Farfello. Both were in the process of removing masks.

"I want my knife back." Farfello shot an evil glare at Crawford.

"Then you shouldn't have kept poking me with it." Crawford sounded like he was growling. Then the American's glare shifted to Ken and Schuldig. "Explain to him that bothering me does not hurt god!" The laughter from Ken and Schuldig came in absolute gales. Crawford was unable to do more than glare at the laughing pair.
