As Ember and Lyric sit in the car, Ember gave her some tissue.

"Are...you okay?" Lyric asks.

"Not really, but I deal with this a lot so I'm kinda used to it." Ember said.

Lyric cringes.

"Shouldn't you go to a hospital?"

Ember shakes her head. "Sometimes I have to tough it out, we have a doctor but he's not around a lot." Ember says as she has her hand over her shoulder.

"Why are you so nice to me?" Lyric asks.

"I know how overwhelming this is." Ember says.

"And hate girls being bitches." Ember said.

"Uh..." Lyric groans.

"No. Literally, I hate girls who act like bitches." Ember says.

"If some girl were to say some slick shit to me I'd punch the living hell outta her." Ember said.

"You won't have to worry about that with me."

"You don't look like the type."

"Besides...I'm your friend right?" Ember asks.

"Of course." Lyric said.

"We'll have to leave." Ember says. But a car pulls up, a man steps out, he had a half shaved head with narrow hazel eyes walks up to the car.

Ember jumps out. "Took ya long enough."

Lyric walks out to see the man. He wore a white t-shirt with jeans. His tattoos stood out of his brown skin.

"Hello to you too." He mumbles. His eyes suddenly widen, he grabs Ember.

"You've been shot!"

"It's not that bad."

"Ember what happened?!"

"Red Cobras happened." Ember grunts.

Lyric shyly looks at the man.

"Heh, leader's princess."

"Don't call me that." Lyric says. The man laughs.

"I'm Travis." He says. "I'm friendly."

"Oh really?" Ember asks, raising a eyebrow.

"Well we gotta go before the police come back over here." Travis said.

Ace sits with Gabe, they were both smoking, Kage rolls his eyes at them.

"So you came over to just smoke it out with us?" Kage asks.

Ace nods. "I had a lot to deal with."

"Tell me baby." Gabe coaxes, Ace glares at him.

Kage crosses his arms, sighing heavily.

"Lyric is Omar's daughter." Ace said.

"Fantastic." Kage sighs.

"You can't protect her now, apparently she already is a target now that they know."

"Omar is keeping an eye on her."

"Look Snake Eyes we'll have to defend ourselves, well...you have to defend yourself."

"I'm worried about her."

"I'm pretty sure Lyric can hold her own for the time being, but as for you, we'll have to be careful."

"I'll have to move." Ace says.
