Lei shook his head. "That is most unfortunate."
Once the two were lead inside they both took a seat.
"That really won't be necessary. I was actually looking for Daniel." Lei added.
As Steve's eyes scanned the room, he took notice of a familiar face. His memory was fuzzy, but he knows those icy blue orbs from somewhere.
"Daniel?" Steve asks.
"You remember him?" Lei asks Steve, a little surprised that he might actuallyknow this guy.
"Maybe." He shrugged.
"In other words, Sorin, this man is Steve Fox, the Middle Weight boxing champ, and also... your cousin..."
"Cousin? I have family?"
Lei nods.
"Is that why you dragged me all the way here to some random house?"
Lei nods.
Li-Mei was starting to wake up a little.

Sorin heard cousin, and his eyes lit up. He turned around to Steve, and smiled. "Oh..! Wow, well..." He extended his hand to Steve. He looked around, "Well, this is Anna's apartment. Like I said, she's sick... but... I'm gonna guess by the blonde hair that you belong to Nina..." He said. "Let me go get Anna's stuff real quick." He quickly went into the bedroom, and retrieved some clothes, perfume, and her makeup bag. He walked back out with all her things in a duffle bag.
"Well... Um, do you wanna go see them?" He asked Steve. "Our Uncle Chris is in the hospital too. Our grandmother was... err..." He then twirled his fingers next to his head, telling Steve she was insane.
"I would introduce you to my brother, Daniel, but he's left town... I can't say where." He pouted. "But...! Aside from that sadness..." He thought for a moment, "Oh and Chris' daughter Marilyn is there too..." He said.

"Sure... I would love to go meet the rest of my family."
Lei quickly stood up and tried to rock Li-Mei, trying to get her to go back to sleep. "Sorry I came all the way out here and missed Daniel..." He whispered to Sorin.
"I would introduce you to my brother, Daniel, but he's left town... I can't say where."
"Ahh, oh well. I guess I'll catch him when he comes back then." Steve replied.
After hearing this tidbit of information, Lei realized something. Sorin can't tell Lei where Daniel went. Obviously, Daniel is hiding SN-95. Which could only mean one thing: Daniel ran away with SN-95. Lei knew exactly what he had to do next. He wasn't sure where he went, but it should be pretty easy to possibly narrow it down.
"You two go on ahead without me." Lei finally said. "Little Missy here needs to get to bed. She's a bit cranky right now. I don't know why I thought this was a good idea, but I did not think this through."
"You could have left her with your niece."
"I know, I know..." Lei sighed. "I'll just go back to Helena's for a bit, and tuck missy into bed. Well, anyway, Sorin take good care of Steve. And you two behave yourselves!"
Li-Mei's curious brown eyes quickly opened as she looked around the room, speaking in Cantonese, as Lei answered her back in the same language, as the two left the apartment.
"Yes, I believe Nina is my mother. Lei and I found out about this not too long ago." Steve put both hands in his pockets. "He said that it had something to do with what the Zaibatsu did to me. Do you know anything about that by any chance?"
Lei placed Li-Mei in her car seat as he smiled at her. Li-Mei had asked Lei what was going on, and he told her he went to see a friend, but then said that the friend wasn't there. He also told Li-Mei that they were going to be going home soon. Li-Mei smiled. Not too long after, Lei gets in the driver's seat and sends Helena a message.
"Daniel's not there. He's out of town. We can safely assume that SN-95 has left as well. Have any leads as to where he wandered off too?"
Within moments, Helena replied, "You're kinda' cute."
Lei didn't know what to think of that. He shook his head. Finally he gained the composure to reply, "Are you trying to flirt with me?"
Helena then answered with, "Well duh!"
Of course. The woman is drunk. So much for that. Lei finally replied, "Well, you go have fun, and I'll talk to you tomorrow."
Helena then replied, "Okay!"
That halted my progress... Suppose I'll have to continue tomorrow.
Lei thought about Helena. She is a very attractive woman. Lei's surprised that she'snot spoken for. She's a gorgeous woman and should have no problems getting a date. However, Lei had to focus. Right now, they need to find SN-95 before Heihachi does. Hopefully, things will go as planned.
Lei sighed. He had some work to do.

Sorin shrugged, "He had some stuff to handle, we think the Zaibatsu was still looking for him, so we felt it was best he left. I hate it though.." he whispered back. Lei then decided it was time to put the little one to sleep, and he was off to Helena, leaving Steve there with him. "He's always in a rush... but always manages to be late..." He laughed.
"Daniel didn't really talk much about his experiences in the Zaibatsu... According to Anna, he had been locked in a disgusting prison for months before she broke him out." He sighed, "Apparently, the reason the experiments were done was because our grandmother and Heihachi Mishima wanted to create supersoldiers..."
"Too bad Nina killed our grandmother, she probably could have answered a lot of your questions..."
He then remembered. "Did you ever get any weird messages, like... cryptic keep looking for answers messages..?"

"The Zaibatsu is after him! So that's why Lei wanted me to meet him! He also told me about a young woman that he's been tracking down, too... said that he only knows her as SN-95. He told me that if we find her, she should give us more answers, too."
"Daniel didn't really talk much about his experiences in the Zaibatsu... According to Anna, he had been locked in a disgusting prison for months before she broke him out. Apparently, the reason the experiments were done was because our grandmother and Heihachi Mishima wanted to create supersoldiers..."
Steve wasn't too surprised, but what surprised him was that there were other survivors. That's who Daniel is. He's the other boy! That's who that guy is. "Sorin. I'm one of those super-soldiers that your grandmother was trying to create... it all falls into place... could you give me a second..." He asks, holding his hand out.
This wasn't what he was expecting. He knew from the second that the syndicate tried to kill him that he is about to open a whole can of worms. He knew that the answers that he finds are not going to be pretty. But he still had to find the answers nonetheless. Steve wanted to die, knowing who he is. He didn't want to die as an adopted British boxer with an odd scar on his left arm. He wanted to die, knowing the man he is.
"Did you ever get any weird messages, like... cryptic keep looking for answers messages..?"
"No. Nothing of the sort."

"Steve..." He noticed he said 'your' grandmother. "Johanna Williams had you created because she didn't think Nina, your mother, was good enough..." He crossed his arms, "She sent me cryptic, crazy messages. There must have been a reason she didn't look for you...." He pursed his lips at the mention of a girl called SN-95. "Now that you mention it... there was a pretty redhead tied pretty close to him... He didn't say much about her, and she didn't say much of anything at all, but... He seemed kinda protective of her."
"Anywho..! Let's get this stuff to Anna before she wakes up. I think the woman would actually die on me if she didn't have this stuff..." He threw the bag over his shoulder, and sashayed to the door. "I'd keep a low profile, though... I have a feeling the shit hasn't even hit the fan yet.."

Steve nodded. "Right. But Nina's a literal killing machine. She's emotionless and refuses to acknowledge me... But I am glad to see that the rest of her family is a bit more... Welcoming to say the least."
After Sorin got Anna's stuff they were ready to go. "What kind of mess have I gotten myself into now?"

Sorin shrugged, "I think she's got a soft spot for her siblings, but that's just my observation... She's very distant. I'd guess that's easier to deal with murdering people." Sorin locked the apartment, and ran down the stairs with Steve. He then exited the building and headed towards the car. Sorin laughed at Steve's remark, "I got shot. Good luck." He winked, and got in his car. "Get in..!" He said, excited. He cranked the yellow Lamborghini, and immediately loud club music came beating through the speakers. Sorin started dancing in his car, flicking the fuzzy pink dice hanging from the rearview mirror. He laughed, and looked at Steve. "Ready, cuz..?" He said, revving the engine. Truthfully, he needed this distraction from the reality that was Anna's sickness. Usually at this point, he would have found some guy to play with. He was surprised he didn't catch anything when his parents died.

Steve shrugged and nodded. Yeah, just the fact that he is even her son is a bit overwhelming. He slightly half-chuckled at Sorin's situation.
"Try almost getting killed by your own mother, who, given the chance, would do it again."
Steve didn'thave the best luck in the world either.
