Yin knows the one place she can go. The one place she has to be. She needs more of her kind around her. She heads to the gentleman's club in spite of how much she hates it. She needs to let Gand know what happened. She takes a deep breath and opens the door walks in with the lights and going and the customers oogling the women.

Gand is never hard to find. Not here anyway..

Hes seated at a table, by himself. With a cigar smoldering in his fingers.. Hes watching one of the girls. A leggy redhead who is very nimble on the pole...

His face is scruffy and his suit looks like he slept in it. Hes clearly not watching this girl out of enjoyment, far from it. His eyes betray an odd obsession...

If he didnt own the place, he would clearly be getting thrown out of it.

Yin comes in and sits down beside him, and tugs at Gand's sleeve to get his attention. "It's horrible, they came took us all way. All of us. We need the others here before it is too late."

Gand glances at Yin for maybe half a second before his eyes are drawn back to the leggy red head.

'I know Yin. I know of it all.'

He picks up his cigar and has a puff, leaning back and lowering his voice.

'Yin, does it seem strange to you that you probably dont remember anything you did after leaving the Dojo up until walking through my doors?...'

Gand watches her with steady, blood shot eyes. Smoke drifting around his head like a confused wraith...

Yin looks a little perplexed. "Well no I walked around for a while and then came here. What are you getting at Gand you old perv?"

Gand snickers and reaches into his coat.

'Old perv? Cmon Yin, you love it here. Hey you looking for a job? We dont get many asians... Id even front the cash for some tits.'

Gand finally produces his blackberry, showing Yin the date. She has lost a month somewhere... somehow.

"Why yes, I think we do need to talk upstairs." She says in a very over rehearsed tone.

Gand snickers again and puts his phone away. He will stub out the cigar and stand, motioning to the back stairs.

'After you my dear.'

Yin walks up there causally and then opens the door and waits for Gand to walk in and then shuts it. "What the hell happend, why did I loose a month of my life, and why happened since I was gone to us?"

'Its a very long story, Yin.' Gand begins, walking past into his large office. He will stop by one of the many bookshelves, this particular one holding various glass bottles some amber, some green even one blue.

'But basically i fucked up. I was trying to help you and blue and whoever that new guy was get away from that small army of agents.'

He pauses a moment to pour a bit from one of the green bottles into a short glass. He will offer it to Yin.

'Honestly i never thought we'd see you again. Not that theres many of us left to see you anyway. Rahshid has dissapeared, and most everyone else has either bit the dust or left town...'

Yin Shakes her head no. "What we can't all be gone can we? What happened to the pact with the blood suckers? They realize the agents are gonna go after them next." She she falls to her knees as if everything has hit now. She tries to speak through intermittent sobs but is incapable of saying anything intelligible.

'The bloodsuckers?.. Oh they probably just used Vincent to lure us out. They killed him as soon as the meeting was over. Or someone did. It could just be one huge coincidence...'

Gand swigs at the glass since Yin is a little too broken up to drink.

'So yeah looks like we have both agents and bloodsuckers after us. One even waltzed right in here and said he was going to buy the place. The mother fucker. Me, Rahshid and Toshi showed his nigger ass what for though...'

Gand takes another swig and places the glass on his desk.

'Toshi is still around. He was in here the other night...Im really sorry Yin, maybe you should have stayed in limbo. Might have been safer...'

She looks up at Gand with her brown eyes tears still welling up in them. "Well I wish to speak with Toshi as well.

Gand will offer Yin a hand to help her back to her feet.

'Ill drive you down to his Dojo.' He offers.

'Thats the only place I know to find him at.'

Yin looks a little dispaired, "That will have to do then I guess".

Gand nods. He is loathe to leave his node but he doesnt want to send Yin back out like this by herself. And more importantly theres noone else to pawn her off on at this second...

He will ring Alice's office and tell her he is leaving for an hour. He will remove a pistol from his desk and slip it into the back of his pants and he is ready.

If Yin is done kneeling and crying he will help her up and lead her down the back stairs through a seriese of locked doors to the parkinglot out back. Amidst all teh strippers vehicles is one of Gands. A small Lexus convertible that will very quickly get them from downtown to the slums, where Toshis dojo sits...

(Will continue in the Bujinkan Dojo.)
