The jeep separated from the crew. They soon entered the city. Fushichin quickly ran into a clothes store and bought a bunch of clothes for the ladies to change from their inmate outfits.

They got out of Luvia district and entered the Southern district, where Succi and Mew’s new apartment was.

After exiting the jeep. They entered the apartment and went up to floor five.

Finding the door to Mew’s flat, Hellen rang the bell.

“Yeah, it’s 7 am now. I doubt your sister is an early bird. You rich folks don’t have jobs, probably live like an otaku too.” grumbled Fushichin.

After a while someone’s voice came from the other side of the door.

“Hey, who is it? What do you want this early morning?” yelled Mew.

“It’s me Mew, I fulfilled my promise. I brought your sister to you.” said Hellen smoothly and clearly.

There was silence behind the door. The lock of the door turned. The door swung open and behind the door stood Mew with a worn-down face. She was wearing a light yellow colored t shirt and shorts.

Her eyes became teary as soon as she saw Hori.

“I came back. My beloved sister.” said Hori with tears in her eyes.

“Hori!” yelled Mew and jumped towards Hori and hugged her tight.

With a growl and a cough she started crying out loud. Hori hugged her sister tightly as she smelled the scent of her neck.

“I’ve missed you, I’ve missed you so much, Hori” said Mew as tears spread across her cheeks, her face fully red like a flower.

“Me too. I’m so glad to be with you again.” said Hori as she cried tears of joy.

Hellen looked happily towards them and laid against the wall with relief.

Saran, Imi and Blaire looked at the two with quite a lot of curiosity.

“H-Hori!” gasped a man’s voice from inside the apartment.

They all moved their eyes to see Succi who was in great shock. Succi rushed to their side and hugged them tight and embraced them in his arms.

“Thank goodness. At least you returned. I’m sorry for being such a bad brother. I should have been kind, I should have cared for you more.” said Succi with guilt.

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

“It’s okay. Everything is okay. I missed you too.” said Hori as she put her head against his chest.

After the fateful reunion that lasted for quite some time, the guests were welcomed in. In the living room Jude and Yumiko were there and they quickly wore their clothes then set the table up.

Imi, Yulia and Saran put the babies on the bed.

“Oh, I didn’t know you two were here. Succi is rich enough to pay you, so it makes sense.” said Fushichin.

“Hmph. That is quite insulting. I did borrow a few dollars to get groceries and menial tasks, but it is way below my regular wage. I certainly can’t leave these young adults to fend for themselves after what happened. I merely wanted to look after them from time to time.” said Jude.

“Heh, I see. You’re just like us then. You’re strong and reliable.” said Fushichin with a smile.

“Enough tooting our horns. Let’s sit down and eat. The food is gonna get cold.” said Jude calmly.

The guests, the household members and the detectives sat around the table. Food was served in front of them as they laughed and talked. But the talk soon became a bit grim.

“As much as I would love to gloat about this success. I really can’t. A lot of the cops and detectives who helped us get here didn’t make it alive. Hui Ying was the one who baited the guards, pressuring them to leave the cells so we could reach the captives. She volunteered to become the bait instead of me. Had our positions switched, I wouldn’t be standing here. Head detective Kyong and Dimitri also fought the guards head on and died because of that.

I don’t wanna bring the mood down. But, it’s best to remember that a lot of people gave their lives yesterday. I wish it didn’t come to this but…I couldn’t think of a better plan and it’s all done and in the past now. But I don’t regret anything. I listened to my feelings and I know my feelings are right. Just remember that your lives are valuable. No matter what people say to you, even if you yourself feel bound by the sins of your past, know that there is no need for guilt. Your lives will always have value and it’s always worth living, even if people who are controlled by hatred and spite want to take vengeance on you by punishing you and using you, never forget to love yourselves. And I won’t hesitate to save your lives again.” said Hellen with a bright smile.

Hori and Mew smiled at her kind words. Fushichin clapped his hands, followed by everyone else. Hellen sat down. Mew hugged Hellen from her side, they connected their heads with warm smiles.

“Yeah, a lot of crazy shit happened. This Saran lady here is one heck of a good shooter. She just one tapped three people in front of my eyes.” said Fushichin with a grin.

“It’s something that comes with experience. For a detective, your aim is quite lackluster.” said Saran coldly.

“It was so scary. I can’t believe a bunch of shootings and killings happened just a few hours ago.” said Hori with fear.

“Oh, it’s a miracle that you got out of there unscathed, Hori.” said Mew as she held Hori’s hand in hers.

“I certainly hope I won’t be captured again. It really sucks to be in prison, right guys? They certainly don’t treat you like a lady in a women's prison.” said Blaire with annoyance.

“What? You expected them to give you a medal? It’s prison. They hold onto the hope that punishing and hurting others somehow will create a better world. It is simply unscientific and idiotic. Happiness creates more happiness and suffering creates more suffering.” said Jude confidently.

“You said it. Those guards and commanders are seriously messed up. They even…attacked me and assaulted me. Those bastards…and the nerve of the scientists to say that it was for an experiment too. Fucked up monsters!” cried Yulia and she slammed the table with her fist.

Tears appeared in Imi's eyes. Hori bit her lips in sadness.

“Oh…Hori, nothing bad happened, right? Please do tell me if something is in your mind, okay?” said Mew as she kissed Hori’s cheek.

Tears appeared in her eyes and she hugged Mew.
