[saito gets a call from inaba]
Saito: hello?.
Inaba: how's everything coming along?.
Saito: Everything is set, you'll be hidden for another week at this rate.
Inaba: good.. That gives enough time to find a way out of the city.
Saito: How are you planning on escaping the city?.. The military has walls put up all around.
Inaba: don't worry, I have my ways.
Saito: ok.
Inaba: also shows that power I gave you?.
Saito: the organ strand?.
Inaba: yes.
Saito: oh.. It's doing fine. I took control of one of the enemy division leaders.
Inaba: good.. You do know you can do more with the organ strand right?.
Saito: I can?.
Inaba: yes.. You can manipulate anything in the body.
Saito: Wait so I can manipulate blood as well?.
Inaba: yes.. You can create anything out of anyone's blood.
Saito: ok ill try that out.
Inaba: great.
[inaba hangs up]
[saito looks at his hands]
Saito: will it be a risk if I try to manipulate blood?.
[saito looks up at the sky]
Saito: I wonder how powerful my organ strand can become?.
[hatano paces around waiting for new information on the mission]
Hatano: I haven't heard anything in a while.. I wonder if everything is ok.
[ise calls hatano]
Hatano: hello?.
Ise: hatano.. You need to get out of there now!.
Hatano: why?.
Ise: I looked at one of the division's cameras and someone is mind controlling them.
Hatano: what?.
Ise: inaba has men working for him.. Everyone that is there with you needs to get out.
Hatano: We can stop them.
Ise: NO!.. you and your group need to head to the outskirts immediately.
Hatano: ok.
[ise hangs up]
Hatano: Well that sucks.
[yoichi looks at hatano surprised]
Yoichi: What's wrong?.
Hatano: [sigh] ise just called and said we need to leave to the outskirts immediately.
Yoichi: why?.
Hatano: because inaba has men working for him and they dont want us risking anything.
Yoichi: ok.. Ill go find the kids and tell them.
Hatano: ok.

Yoichi: kids.. We need to leave hatano got a call that said we need to leave here immediately.
Yadara and narimo: ok.
[yadara and narimo run inside with yoichi]
Yadara: So what's going on?.
Hatano: inaba has men working for him.
Narimo: couldn't we fight them too?.
Hatano: That's what i was thinking but ise wants us to head for the outskirts till they find out what powers they have.
[yadara and narimo look at hatano surprised]
Yadara: they don't have to know why don't we just stay
Hatano: They have trackers on our vehicles so they know if we've left or not.
Yadara: ok.. When will we be ready to leave?.
Hatano: as soon as we head outside.
Yadara: ok.
[yadara,yoichi,narimo and hatano head outside to the truck]
Hatano: ok.. Now we head for the outskirts till we can find a plan.
[yadara,yoichi,narimo and hatano get in the truck and head for the outskirts]

[yadara looks at yoichi surprised]
Yoichi: It'll be fine.. We need to find out a plan anyways.
Yadara: yeah.
[hatano smiles at yoichi]
Yoichi: what?.
Hatano: Oh nothing.
Yoichi: no seriously.. What's going on?.
[hatano blushes]
Hatano: It's nothing, you just look like a dad.
Yoichi: what?.. No, I don't.

Yoichi: what?.
Narimo: We don't mind if you act like our dad.. Its actually reassuring
Yoichi: really?.
Yadara: yeah.. Even though it's tough to say we're glad you act like our dad since we haven't had a father to teach us much.
[yoichi hugs yadara and narimo]
Yoichi: kids.. I'm glad you think of me as a father figure, I'll do whatever it takes to protect you.
Yadara and narimo: thank you.
