"I'm sure my mom would be easy for us to get in contact with..."
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure." Lei agreed. He wasn't sure if he and Anna were friends... or just acquaintances... either way, they're both allies.
Katya smiled. "He is so pretty. Dmitri. Say hello."
The bird tilted his head and squawked at Katya who flinched a little before the bird finally uttered, " Cześć" (Hello)
Im glad to see you are okay.... Probably time for a shower...."
"Yeah... I should probably go to sleep. It is morning here in Poland." She smiled. "I shall not be leaving zis building so... it is okay if I lay down in bed all day." She smiled. Katya slept in a nice and warm bed... but she really wished Daniel was right next to her.

He sighed, looking at her through the screen. "Well... get some rest. I'll be here..." He said, smiling. He looked at Lei, "If it's okay with you, I'll call Katya back tomorrow..?" He asked Lei. He then then turned back, and leaned in. "I wish I was there with you..." He whispered.
He giggled when the bird spoke. "Hi, little guy...." He said, waving at Dmitri.

"If it's okay with you, I'll call Katya back tomorrow..?"
Lei nods. "Sure. But remember, I have to work in the morning, so you'll be coming with me. We can figure something out, I'm sure."
Katya nodded as she smiled. "Yeah... I shall see you later zen, yes?"
Dr. Kristovitch appeared in order to get the bird, as Katya tried to kiss the screen, but Dr. Kristovitch told her that it won't do anything.

Daniel laughed, and leaned in, and gave a quick peck to the screen. "Good night, Katya..." He said, before looking to Lei. "How do I exit..?" He asked. When it as figured out, he got up, and stretched. "Well... I'm gonna go get some rest.." He looked around. "Where am I sleeping..?" He asked.

"Well... I'm gonna go get some rest...Where am I sleeping..?"
Lei retrieved his laptop and closes the lid. He then leads Daniel to the room that he is going to stay in. It was a plain bedroom with a King sized bed with black sheets and a few pictures of a monkey, as well as a picture of Lei in his cop uniform, when he was 26.
"You'll be sleeping in my room. For the time being." He smiled. "I don't think you can sleep in my daughter's room... her bed is a bit too small... and she likes ponies."

Daniel chuckled. "I don't mind ponies..." He said. He got up, and walked into Lei's room. "Thankyou.." He said. He sat on the bed, and took off his shirt. He laid down, pulling the covers over him. He was fast asleep, soon after laying down. In the night, he stirred....
---
"How interesting... You believe you can get away..." An echoed voice said to him. The person who spoke was in the shadows. Daniel couldn't see anything. "I can try... My family is helping me.." He said. "Like your Uncle did...?" The voice echoed a sinister chuckle. Daniel shook his head. "No...!" He fell to his knees. "No... Stop..!" He yelled out. "Your mother, your brother... even the cop.... even your love... They are no match for me... Give in..." The voice said.
Daniel looked out, tears in his eyes. "No...!!!! I want to be good, and happy...!!!" His scarred arm starting to burn. "Please, stop..!"
The voice laughed. "I will never stop.... I will haunt you in your dreams, in your life, in every waking moment. I am part of you Daniel...."
Daniel shook his eyes. "Please... Stop..." The presence finally stepped out of the shadows. Daniel looked up, to stare in the eyes of The Devil.
---
Daniel jolted up with a scream. He was panting, shaking, and coated in sweat. He looked around. "What am I gonna do.." He asked to himself quietly, holding himself.

Lei had been asleep when he heard Daniel scream. He immediately in one fluid motion, was on his feet. It was as if he was never on the couch. Lei stretched at little, sighing to himself.
Should I seriously go check on him? Maybe he just had a bad dream?
Lei really didn't feel like intruding with Daniel. But he's already standing up. Lei then looked at the clock and sighed to himself. "It's 4AM in the morning. What am I going to do for the next 4-5 hours?"
He used all that energy to stand up, and that made him wake up. Plus, Lei had to make note to get possibly a new couch, because this one felt kind of... lumpy. He puts on his house shoes and shuffles to the kitchen to brew some tea. He wasn't going to check on Daniel. He more than likely won't open up to him. But it's fine. After all... he can enjoy this nice peace and quiet time he has to himself. Things people take for granted until they have kids. Quiet time.

Daniel got up, after hours of trying to return to sleep. He couldnt get the image of the devil from his head. He went into the living area, wearing only a pair of pajama pants. His hair was curly and wild. He rubbed his dark circled eyes as he looked around.
"Lei...?" He called out.

Lei had been in the dining area, enjoying this Oolong tea... the tea he may have been named after. Though, if memory served he was actually named after a dragon, because apparently, being named after such a mythical creature gives you luck... and it's a family tradition. He heard Daniel call his name as Lei stepped forward.
"Have a bad dream?"

Daniel turned around. He only nodded. "It's fine... Any word from home...?" he asked. "Or from Katya?"
He was a little worried about her.
He sighed. "Where is the restroom?" he asked.

Lei shook his head. "Nobody has said anything... Neither can be said for Katya. However, it is probably the afternoon over there, so we can probably call them and ch_"
Before Lei could pull out his phone, there was a knock on his door. "At this hour, really?"
Lei then pointed Daniel in the direction to the bathroom, while Lei went and answered the door. Upon opening the door, Lei immediately hugged the much taller man. It was the guy in one of Lei's photos on his desk in the bedroom. The one that had a picture of Lei, holding Li-Mei with Xianlong sitting next to him, and the taller man standing behind the three all smiling. It was his son, Zakk.
"What are you doing here?"
"I just got back from my trip in Thailand. Thought I'd see what you were up to these days..."
"Well, make yourself comfortable... I just fixed some tea. You're welcome to help yourself to it."

After Daniel showered and freshened up, he put on the clothes he had on from yesterday. They didn't smell used, so he figured they'd be okay. He towel dried his hair, and went back to the living area. He noticed a taller man come inside. He smiled a little at him, staying quiet. He was rather the shy one.
"Lei, may I use your phone to call my brother..?" He asked.

"Ya' know, a little birdy told me that you were seeing someone."
Lei blushed a little. "Well, actually... we're just talking. We kind of went on a half-date. But overall, I'm pretty excited."
When Daniel came out, asking to borrow Lei's phone, Zakk couldn't help but be wary of him.
Lei then walked over to the counter and grabbed his phone and handed it to Daniel. "Go ahead. I'm about to call Dr. Kristovitch."
"Who is this?"
"He's a guy I'm helping out for now. I've kind of dug myself into a mess... not sure if you're willing to give me a hand or two. But really, I wanted your help with this."
Lei ran back into his room and grabbed a journal and walked back out, turning on the light. "This was your grandfather's journal. The last entry was the day he died..." He closed his eyes as Lei recalled the horrible memory of his own father bleeding out on the pavement, as well as his mother bleeding out in the bathtub. "However, that's not important." Lei opened the journal up, and pulled out a loose piece of paper. He handed it to his son. It was written in Kanji.
"This is Kazuya Mishima's note to his own father. Written before he was thrown off the cliff. It reads, 'Father, one day, I will tear you to pieces'. This made me think... Maybe that's what got my father killed. And then I realized... maybe this might explain what's going on with Kazuya. So... I'm thinking about investigating the secrets of the Devil Gene..."
"...The Devil Gene?"
"It's more than just a Mishima family curse. It's something... sinister... something powerful. I wanted to see why Heihachi wanted his hands on it. Wanrei... I think this is something that we must do. Finish my father's work. Together."

Daniel thanked him, and dialed Sorin's number. "Hello..?" Sorin answered.
"Hey, It's Daniel." He said, smiling a little.
"Who is Daniel...!?" , "My brother you fuckin moron, get out... Sorry, that was a... err. friend."
Daniel raised his brow, chuckling a bit. "Did I call at a bad time...?" He asked.
"Never...! Are you okay?"
Daniel sat down on the bed, and sighed. "Well, I'm in Hong Kong, I miss you, and mom... and Katya."
"I know... but as soon as Lillian is gone... We'll all be reunited...!" He said.
Daniel smiled. "I just wish it were now..."

"I also did some digging of my own. I discovered that the last case my father was working on was the sudden disappearance of Jinpachi Mishima, Kazumi Mishima, and Kazuya Mishima. He was onto something. He theorized that Heihachi killed everyone. But the only evidence he had, was in this journal."
Zakk nodded. "Yeah, I also read that it was inconclusive. Also, apparently, his car was stolen shortly after he died, and they eventually recovered it. It was in the Yellow River, and they discovered that it was connected to a chop-shop ring. No doubt Heihachi hired them to steal his car and silence him. However, the gunman was never found."
"I have reason to suspect it was one of Heihachi's assassins. I think the Williams' sister's mom, killed him. If memory serves, that woman looked similar to that blond woman I saw when my dad was murdered. She stole his car, too. I also did some research and found out that Johanna Williams used to work for Heihachi. Coincidentally, this was around the same time Jinpachi and Kazumi both went missing."
"Are you suggesting that Heihachi hired an assassin to kill his family?"
"Not exactly. He probably killed them. I think he just hired Johanna to kill my dad. But that's not the question. The question is, why? Why would a proud young man go and kill his entire family? That's where the Devil Gene comes in. I think he might have killed his dad in order to rise to power, and somehow... the entire family got infected with The Devil Gene. I want to figure out how, and why?"
