[color=aqua]"Affirmative"[/color] Xerox replied to Rachel, making his way through the alleys. While on his way, he heard shouts of terror. Turning he pressed against his glasses to try see through the walls and into the other sides of the streets. A large black dog/wolf had appeared with two of the other SeeD members on it. [i]Well they should be fine like that. But now people during this riot will remember a big black dog/wolf. Jeez.[/i] he thought continuing on his way.

Making his way around a corner, Xerox could looked through the wall to see someone had been following him. He put down a small machine before continuing to make his way. As the pursuer made his way to Xerox, he saw a person running in the opposite direction to Xerox. The pursuer chose to chase them, before suddenly seeing the person instantaneously combust. The man was in utter shock. Turning around he chased Xerox at full speed, assuming he had just killed the person with an explosive.

Xerox could feel the man chasing him. Looking back and telescoping his lens, he saw his hologram projection had exploded. [i]Guess that one failed.[/i] he mentally sighed, turning a corner, waiting for the pursuer. Seeing him round the corner, Xerox clothes-lined the man, knocking him out, before finishing him off in his unconsciousness. From then on, Xerox swiftly made his way back to the mansion.

Arriving at the mansion, Xerox met up with Rue. Rue had a concerned look on his face, [color=aqua]"What is it Rue? Did something happen?"[/color] Xerox asked. Rue told him what he heard through gestures. [color=aqua]"Not long now? ... What could that even mean?"[/color] Xerox replied, rhetorically. 

Entering, one could see the state of disorder. Aides and soldiers were running back and forth in chaos. Something must have happened. Meeting up with Duncan, Xerox and Rue saw the grim smile, congratulate the team. [b]"Well done team. Solid execution."[/b] The grim smile had thrown Xerox off a bit, before Duncan continued, [b]"But I think things are gonna get worse before they get better."[/b] Rue tugged at Xerox, who nodded back. [color=aqua]"Duncan, is there a 3rd ... I mean 4th party involved in this? Rue tells me he heard in the middle of that chaos these words. [/color][b]Not long now.[/b] [color=aqua]Also ... have we just fallen into an elaborate trap by killing Deling?"[/color] Xerox voiced his concerns to Duncan.
