THE kids opened the door slightly, peeking out.

"Your dad is pissed. Who is that guy?" Miguel asked Sam.

"I have no idea." Sam replied.

"He looks like a Highlander."

"The Highlander. There can only be one."

They were silent again and continued watching until Daniel told them to leave and the kids closed the door again.

"I don't like this." Lucia shook her head. "I don't trust this guy."

"Well, yeah, obviously. He's working with the king of all assholes." Demetri replied.

Lucia sighed and peeled out the door again, Daniel and Johnny stunned.

This was not a good sign.

"Vietnam vet turned business man. Had a few ups and downs, but still turned out pretty rich. Not much dirt other than some toxic waste scandal in Borneo back in the 80's." Demetri read about Terry Silver.

"Jeez, sounds like a Renaissance man. How'd you even find out his name?" Hawk asked.

"I took a picture at the dojo—."

"You took a picture of him? That's kinda creepy." Lucia said.

"He's creepy. Now can I finish?"

"Fine, fine. Go ahead."

"I found an old facial recognition beta test and tweaked the cod to make it compatible with HEIC." Demetri finished.

"I love when you talk nerdy."

Lucia turned to see Yasmine and Moon.

"Moony." Lucia smiled.

"Hi, sweetheart." Moon smiled back.

They shared a passionate kiss which turned into a make out session while Demetri and Yasmine were talking.

Hawk swallowed awkwardly, staring at Moon and Lucia as they made out.

Lucia pulled away and Moon smiled at her.

"What're you doing later?" Moon whispered.

"Going to get tattoos with Hawk."

"Oh. Because I was thinking we could—."

"I mean, I was thinking the same thing. Maybe after we get out tattoos—."

"I could come over." Moon smirked.

"Unless Lucas and my dad are home, then no, but yeah."

"Okay. Yay."

The shared another kiss before Moon and Yasmine said their goodbyes and walked away.

They both watched their girlfriends go before looking to Hawk.

"We need to find you someone." Lucia said.

"Me? No, I'm good."

Demetri went towards the stairs and started going up.

"Where is he going?"

"Away from your bullshit." Lucia replied.

She began walking up the stairs too.

"What? What bullshit?" Hawk followed her.

When they got upstairs, they spotted Miguel and Sam and Miguel walked over to them.

"Yo. You guys won't believe this. Sensei got drunk and went on a Twitter rant." Miguel said before handing Demetri the phone.
