"........huh." was all Rene could mutter in response.

"I see." he said.

"That's... well, I admit, I didn't expect to hear THAT." he admitted.

"So what you're saying is that your son and my cousin ended up helping each other." he commented, before sighing a little, in relief.

"...good." he said.

"I'm glad she's doing all right for herself."

Rene was silent as he was completely freed, and sighed as he started to follow her to wherever she was going.

"...tell me..." he muttered.

"My cousin..." he said. "...how did you find her?" he asked.

"One would think that she would have been killed by now, or off doing her own thing, being unstable and berserk, due to her volatile DNA mix." he reasoned.

"How did you find her, and get her to join you?"

"Ahhhh, so be a mole as well." Rene replied.

"Eh, sure." he said with a shrug.

"I don't have anything to lose." he told her.

"So what now?" he asked.

"Paperwork need to go through or what?" he asked further.

"Just because I'm really starting to feel dehydrated here." he told her.

Rene was silent as she said what she did.

"Yeah?" he asked.

"Be an on-call doctor for you guys, and that's it?" he asked her.

"I admit, that's better than I was expecting." he told her.

"...then again, I was expecting the death penalty." he added with a laugh.

"Heck. Sure." he then agreed.

"....fae genetics?" Rene asked.

"Guess it's not much. Never really noticed." he admitted.

"Seems it was enough for him to be strong." he then sighed.

"And an offer?" he asked.

"For someone like ME?" he asked further.

"All right, may as well hear it." he then said.

"Ahh." Rene responded.

"Yes, that." he said.

"Well, I AM called 'The Doc' for a reason." he commented further.

"And yes, never thought it would come to this." he admitted.

"But that's just how things go, I suppose." he sighed. "Discovered a cousin, found out I have something of a conscience." he went on.

"Even took that wind attack for her."

"Hm." Rene mumbled, glancing over towards the one that had spoken.

"Well, well, well..." he said.

"Seems the Head herself has come to see me." he commented.

"Suppose I should be honoured." he then said further. "After all, I'm just some lone straggler of a dead species that was peddling on the streets." he snickered darkly.

"Come to deliver the verdict yourself?" he asked her.

"And what do you mean by you've had your eye on me for a while? What does THAT mean, precisely?" he asked further, his curiosity peaked.

The agents watched her disappear, before they disappeared as well with the lantha.

His injuries had been healed, he was back to 100% in terms of his health, but it was little consolation to him. He had been fitted with a special collar that stopped him from using any of his unique abilities, and his leg was chained to the wall beside him. The chain was long enough that he could move about his cell, but that was about it.

"...suppose this day had to come sooner or later..." he muttered.

"But at least she's not actually in that dreadful business." he told himself, referring to Aila.

"There are worse things that working for the Triad." he sighed, as he awaited his final judgement.

"I see." they replied.

"Well, report back to the Triad." they told her.

"We'll take care of the lantha, and clean up here." they said further.

With that, they carefully lifted the downed male up, who was still barely conscious.

"...heh..." he chuckled.

"Guess this is is for me." he said to Aila.

"Was nice to meet you, while it lasted." he told her.

The agents restrained Pin, and were taking him away, as others checked over Aila's cousin.

"...looks like he sustained some serious injuries." one commented.

"We'll take him to the Triad HQ for medical treatment, and then he'll need to be taken to the higher security restraint floor." another said further.

"Agent Aila, please report back to the Head." they then said to Aila.

"She'll want a full report of the events that have transpired." they reasoned, before pausing.

"Also... mortal?" they asked.

"You robbed the Kingpin of his mana?"

".....I always thought you were on the creepy side." Pin said to Aila.

"This just proves it." he went on, as the agents got closer.

"Agent Aila, step down." one told her.

"We'll take it from here." they said.

"This one is 'The Doc'!" another said further, referring to the downed lantha.

"He's injured, but alive." they told the others.

"...how fortunate. We'll take him with us." the first one commented.

"Agent Aila!" one of the agents said.

"Our orders were to take him alive!" they told her, as they aimed mana right at Pin.

"Release her! Now!" another ordered the man.

"Release her, or else you WILL die by her hand." they then added.

"....." Pin was silent for a moment, seeing that he was clearly outnumbered and outgunned... before letting go of Anna and raising his arms in the air.

".....what!?" Pin exclaimed.

"NO!" he yelled, as he tried to yank his legs free, but found him stuck where he was.

"No, DAMN IT!" he cursed, as he tried desperately to use his mana to attack her, to escape. But found he couldn't.

So he simply extended his arms out, and grabbed her neck.

"I'LL STRANGLE YOU!" he declared, as several Triad agents burst through the door.
