James sighed and kissed her forehead, "You should sleep," he murmured.

--

Snow sighed a little, looking at Frei, "We... don't know yet."

Yue didn't say anything, but she hesitantly grabbed James' arm where the scar was. "... I want to trust you," she whispered, not looking at him. She almost said something more, but then just sighed instead.

--

Raven blinked. Well, that was helpful. So he stood there awkwardly for a moment.

James smiled and patted her head, "Thats a good start," he replied.

--

Suddenly there was a gunshot from outside the resort. It seemed to come from one of the upper levels. Snow cussed and took off at a run, Frei not far behind her.

--

Kale set Blaze on the bed, too far to hear the gunshot. "Go to sleep," he instructed.

Yue didn't seem to think so. But that expression just made her look more so like a wet cat.

--

Before he could leave, Blaze reached out and grabbed Kale's hand.

--

Raven started at the gunshot, blinking after Snow and Frei. What was he supposed to do? He couldn't just rely on ducking and covering every time something unexpected happened. But would he just be a burden?

But Raven's curiosity won. He didn't want to live in the dark here - He couldn't if he honestly wanted to try and find a place for himself with these people. So he took off after Snow and Frei.

Meanwhile Nic broke into the security feed to see what was happening.

Pepper and Wolfe were fighting it out on one of the upper decks. They moved so fast it was hard to track them. Pepper was attacking more aggressively then Wolfe and it was clear this was no friendly match. Even as she managed to land a few hits, Wolfe seemed to be holding back.

Nic sat back, watching Pepper and Wolfe fight it out from his computer screen.

Raven kept chasing after Snow and Frei although he was falling behind.

They arrived just in time to see Pepper pull a particularly nasty trick on Wolfe which caused him to slip right over the edge. It was a long moment before they heard the splash. Pepper looked over the edge with a smirk.

Snow cussed and continued to run towards the edge. Frei stopped in her tracks, quickly losing the color in her face.

From the cameras an interesting sight occurred to Nic. The moment Wolfe hit the water, he vanished. He didn't surface at all. Even if he'd been knocked unconscious, he'd have floated to the top.

Nic frowned, quickly looking for the same shot at another angle as he transferred the information to his pad and started jogging toward the dock.

"Ryuji!" Raven shouted breathlessly as he saw Wolfe fall. Even though Snow was already on it, Raven didn't hesitate as he sprinted over to the edge and jumped off after Wolfe along with Snow.

It was the same from the other angle, all trace of Wolfe vanished under the water.

Snow dove straight down. Nic saw the dive and knew she meant to dive deep. Apparently Wolfe was sinking fast.

Raven seemed to have the same strategy, kicking off his shoes and jacket in mid-flight before falling into a dive.

Nic estimated their coordinates the best he could from the footage and cameras as he picked up the pace.

Snow was far down but had just reached him. Even with her strength, the weight of Wolfe was pulling them both down.

Raven didn't hesitate, diving down to them to help Snow bring Wolfe to the surface.

Wolfe was surprisingly heavy but the two of them managed to get him to the surface. Snow cussed as they started to drag him towards the dock.

Raven cussed too, but most of them were directed toward Wolfe's boots. He was a fairly strong swimmer, but his strength was depleting fast.

As soon as Nic got to the dock, he jumped on the nearest boat and set out after them.

It was clear Wolfe wasn't breathing. Snow grabbed onto the side of Nic's boat, exhausted herself.

Nic dragged Wolfe on board first, letting Snow and Raven pull themselves up as he checked to see if Wolfe's heart had stopped.
