"Whu-WHAT?!" Zil said in a loud, harsh tone, clearly nervous. He hesitated before saying, "Kids, huh? Were they academy kids?" He asked before saying, "Well, check who were kidnapped. They may have leads or something something useful.... Or it could be that they've discovered our plans" He muttered over and over, "Oh God, oh God" before continuing, "As for the Laurels, don't expose them just yet! We need to find out how and why this happened first. But kids, huh? Can you ask if creampuff is in the headquarters?"
Monica shook her head, "It must be that I haven't been able to dig up dirt on them myself. And...even if I despised them even then, my fiance favored them a great deal. Even if they are... fumbling idiots, I can't help but remember the kindness of that man, stepped on him though I did. As much as possible, I wanted to keep those two away from these matters, and out of my sight,mostly, but there is no helping it, is there?"

((Isn't Shadow still in Diethelm? Dustin went back to Helmshire with the prince and the others so he wouldn't get caught. Rebel HQ is in Helmshire so that it's out of reach from Damien.))
Damien requested a full status report from those who were taking care of the remaining protestors, including Jay.

((Yeah, but Shadow doesn't know that.))
"I'm not sure. I just arrived at your HQ. I only found out about this a few hours ago. I'm checking now." Shadow said with a sigh. "Calm down. Calm down. I'm ticked, but maybe we can sort this out. I don't want to, but if I have to, I'll default my deal for your sake." Shadow sighed again. She then turned towards the lady who gave her the phone. "He wants to talk to creampuff."
"Not of they're guilty. We can't force others to make the right decision." Jian replied, then was silent for a moment. "You're kinder then you make yourself out to be."

Zil suddenly said, "Defaulting the deal will only make the client chase after even more. Moreover, it looks suspicious if you said yes then default them later. At best, please detour them with trivial information, rumors or just say you have nothing left to dig up on them" Zil waited to be contacted again.
Fanny was called up to the main lobby and said, "Oh. Hello! You're Shadow right? Blood Fox talks about you. Says you scare him" She giggled before saying, "What's the matter?"
Monica wasn't so much offended by Jian's statement as she was amused. She replied to him, "What are you implying?"

Saiyu raised an eyebrow and shifted her pockets, hiding the haphazard packages Zil had stuffed in them. From the sounds of it things were already going bad in Deithelm, "are Shadow and Fanny ok?...." *********** Jay grimaced and stuffed his phone back into his pocket, apparently the leader wanted a report on the riots. Most of the bodes had already been carted off and there were now only a few live stranglers from the uprising being loaded off into interrogation and work camps, all in all a pretty easy job that shouldn't have needed to be reported to the top but Jay wasn't willing to push his luck, the look on the leaders face had been enough to tell him that anything other then absolute compliance would land him a one way trip to one of the concentration camps he dearly wanted to avoid. "well thats me off..." The officer motioned to the second in command that he was leaving him to deal with the rest of the clean up.
±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±
Jay sighed and rapped his knuckles against the large door he had, up until this point, managed to steer clear of in these circumstances.
Judging by the voice of the officer that had called him, it was safe to assume that even breath funny was likely to set the leader off.(( then its settled....i'm taking YOU home! -runs off with aya- ))

Shadow looked down at Fanny with harsh and unforgiving eyes. It was the kind of glance that would normally downright scare kids. She said nothing and simply handed Fanny the communicator in a 'no nonsense' way.
"Exactly as I said. I think you're nicer then you let on. Then again, you probably have to be in your job." Jian replied with a soft smile. It was hard to tell if he was picking on Monica or secretly flirting.

"Yeah, they're fine. But there's a situation right now" Zil said before Fanny picked up the communicator.
Fanny was a little taken aback by Shadow's glance but took the communicator and began talking to Zil, truthfully answering each question her parent figure threw at her
"You what?!" Zil said loudly, disturbing the elite drug lords who were traveling with him and Saiyu in the first car. As Fanny began to explain the kids' strange abilities and possible connections to what she doesn't know as of yet to be the Diethelm government, Zil's heart began to soften though he was still a little ticked about the matter. "Alright, alright. I believe you. Now go back in your room and stay there. You're grounded!" He said before continuing, "Give the communicator back to Shadow. I need to talk to her"
Fanny whimpered, hesitantly giving the communicator back to Shadow. She couldn't believe that she had failed the one person she sought to please most of all. She looked down, starting to cry and ran back downstairs, to her room as some rebels who noticed her cry followed after her, concerned about their leader's precious doll.
Zil sighed once the communicator was manned again and said, "It was Fanny. She's too smart for her own good and too beloved by our people to be denied what she wants" He took another deep breath only to exhale it once again continuing, "It seems she's showing good leadership traits now. Supposedly good news. But we already have the swan. We don't need to add another reckless inspiration" Then again, the same could be said of himself although he was more dedicated to a purpose.
Monica couldn't reply to what Jian said, seriously questioning herself. She exhaled with the same cold expression, not looking at him for a while as she assessed the information for a response that wasn't stupid as was characteristic of her, to try not to embarrass herself.

Shadow let out a sigh. "Well, the damage has been done. We'll have to go through reparations the best we can. In the mean time, I'm going to take a look at these kids for myself." Shadow said. "Through camera of course. I'll tell you want I think." She said, walking to the rebel's security room. "Hey, which room did Fanny put the captives in?" She said harshly. They pointed to a screen, and Shadow took the seat, taking the controls and focusing in on the twins. "Well, it looks like we have at pair of twins: boy and girl. It looks like they're still trying to untie their ropes to. Hey, Zil, did Dustin have a long lost girlfriend or something? These two look a lot... like... wait... nah. Couldn't be. Well... Hey, can somebody get me a picture of Dustin? Actually, get me pictures of his younger brothers while your at it. I need a good genetic comparison."
"Sure." One of the rebels said, leaving the room.
"How very odd..." Shadow muttered. "I can almost swear there is a resemblance, but... they'd have to be at least 11 or 12. Dustin is... 30 I think, so he'd have to have been 18 or 19, so I guess it's possible. How old are the other ones?..." She muttered in thought.
"Here you are." The rebel said, returning with some photos of Dustin, the absolute leader, and their younger brother.
Shadow took the photos and started looking between the photos and the kids. Suddenly she let out a whistle. "Holy S***! Check this out." She told the other rebels while she still held the communicator to her mouth. She started setting up some of the pictures near the camera. "Black hair. Gray eyes like the youngest brother, but they're shaped more droopy like Damien's or Dustin's. Same pale coloring. Slender feminine physique... I could almost swear they're Blackroses, but... that can't be right."
Jian set more papers to the side and looked towards Monica. "What's wrong? You look confused."

"Huh?" Zil asked, curious about it. Even so, he didn't trust just photo comparisons. He said to Shadow, "Alright, alright. But they're just pictures. We need solid evidence. Go to the medics' room. We have genetic data and samples of all the rebels, including Dustin and I. Can you gather some DNA samples and test it? Perhaps have someone gather the sample but test it yourself. Worse comes to worst, keep the results a secret between just the two of us" The drug cartel was approaching Helmshire now so Zil said, "I'm on my way"
Monica shook her head and said, "Nothing. What you said just.. Made me think. Then again, personal qualities are measured by action and intent and not what is possibly hidden inside, no?"

"Perhaps. But what is measured and what is could be two completely different things." Jian replied.
"Ok. Will do." Shadow replied. "Someone go to those kids and take a small blood sample from both of them. And above all, be nice. They're kids." She told the rebels.
The rebels there nodded, and two of them went to get the medical equipment and retrieve the blood samples. After several minutes of enduring kicking and screaming an biting from the twins who were trying to escape, they returned with the blood samples while leaving the twins locked up in the room.
"You two look worn out. I'll take it from here, so take a little break." She told them, then took a deep breath. "Let's do this." Shadow said, set up to do the experiment by the time they had gotten back. After doing it, she simply waited a few minutes for the results.
"That hurt..." Vincent muttered.
"Yeah..." Valkyrie sniffled. "I don't like this place."
"Me neither." Vincent replied. "Say Valkyrie... why do you think they took our blood?"
"I don't know. They took our blood at the base too." Valkyrie replied. "But all I can think of it being used for is to check for viruses or DNA testing."
"Yeah..." Vincent replied. "But that makes no sense. Why use a DNA test if they already know who we are?"
"I just hope they don't want to turn us into lab rats." Valkyrie muttered.
"Let's see now..." Shadow said after the experiment was over, and looked over the results. "Hey Zil. Looks like I got something. They're not Dustin's kids, but they're related. The match is pretty close, but there's one recessive gene that Dustin has that the twins don't carry. Still, if it's recessive, the other brothers might only be carriers, and thus the kids didn't inherit. Hey Zil... you don't think that these might be Damien's kids, do you? I can't prove it without his genetic information, but... with answers this close, they have to be related somehow."

Dustin was walking by the room with Shadow in it when he thought he heard his name, then something about kids and Damien. He opened the door to see what was going on.
Damien heard knocking at his door. As usual, he requested the name of the person knocking and their reason for disturbing him...though he didn't call it that.

"Oh, hello 'most likely' Uncle. Want to see your 'possible' niece and nephew? Fanny had them kidnapped them and caused an uproar, but if we can get a hold of Damien's DNA record, I can know for sure. If they're Blackroses, that will solve a lot of the problems she caused. Still, I'll have to do something about that information... Well, whatever. Anyway, I doubt the father is the youngest Blackrose because he would have been about their age when they were born, and you're off the hook because of this one gene. Follow me." Shadow snickered, leading him to the security room. "Here they are!" She said, pointing to a screen. "You can talk to them personally, but I can't. I can't be caught, after all."

"Interesting. How old are they? They must be over ten, which means Damien would have been just a teen. He always seemed too smart to have unprotected sex. Still, they do look like family. The Blackrose gene is very strong" he said. He then looked at Shadow. "Are you sure they couldn't be lost cousins or something? How close is that DNA test?".

"They were one gene away from being enough to prove you were the father. That's how close." Shadow replied. "I was thinking the same thing. Damien would have been just a teen, but he's the only other one it could be that would match you so close genetically. To be honest, I haven't done any research on them because I just got here about an hour ago, and I was busy other places. If you want to go talk to them, be my guest. Just be careful. They're a bit feisty, though I can't blame them after being kidnapped."

"Hmm. Would it be better for them just to hear my voice for now, or should I talk to them personally? If they calm down, we might be able to get them to spill some information. I was informed that we had a couple of prisoners and that they had mentioned meeting my brother themselves, though I was not briefed on the fact that they're just kids" Dustin stated.
