"I'm going to go find Marilyn and tell her what's happening. I need to see Marcella too..."
"Okay. And I'll let you know if Lei's going to be here and what the plan is. Besides, I think I should rest up a bit, too."
"Nina...I've messed up... You know him... how can I win him back?"
"So desperate. You're really obsessed with him, aren't you. I do not know anything about Sorin. Besides, I'm not going to do anything to help you until we get my sister back. Let this be a lesson to you. Don't ever mess with Anna."

He frowned, "He's my son... your mother was the one who ripped him from me."
Sorin looked at Steve. "For this... I will do anything in my power to help you find answers... you're a great cousin, Steve. I'm glad Lei brought you to us..." He smiled at him.

"He's my son... your mother was the one who ripped him from me."
"Join the club. We have jackets."
"For this... I will do anything in my power to help you find answers... you're a great cousin, Steve. I'm glad Lei brought you to us..."
"I'm glad, too. I know it's a little bit rough around the edges... I'm willing to give this family a chance. Even though my mother still wants nothing to do with me."

Antonio grumbled, "I need a drink..." He walked out of the room. Sorin looked at the two people left, and sighed. "If anything I've learned in this family, is..." He looked at Nina. "According to Johanna she could have killed you, and didn't..." He looked at Steve. "She's not a total monster... Nina's... Look I'm not defending her, but it could be worse..." He smiled at him. "Who cares if she doesn't want you... I want you." He smiled at his cousin. "Even though I think she secretly does care about you..!" He whispered. He winked, and turned to Nina.
"So... What kinda weapons you got, Aunty Nina..?" He smiled.

"According to Johanna she could have killed you, and didn't..."
"Because it would be a bore to put down your brightest child. Besides, she called me a failure. Like I care about what she thinks."
"She's not a total monster... Nina's... Look I'm not defending her, but it could be worse... Who cares if she doesn't want you... I want you."
"Taht's good to know. But I'm over it now."
"So... What kinda weapons you got, Aunty Nina..?"
"Don't call me that!" Nina growled. "Just because Anna took you in, doesn't mean I have to, too. I'm just Nina. That's all."

Sorin gave a laugh, having enough of it. "Well... Anna is my mother... biologically speaking..!" He sauntered over to Nina, and stood next to her, "So that makes you my Aunt... biologically speaking.... So I'm correct to call you Aunt Nina... Even if it does rub you the wrong way..." He grinned. "Now... You're going to tell me that the woman you've been trying to kill, and keep in mind your rivalry is famous, that now you want to save her?"
He sighed, "I get it. With your mother, you had something to lose. You were a direct target. But now? You're not. You don't care about Steve. You don't care about Anna. Me? Chris? We'll take care of it. Because we love and care about Anna, Daniel, Mari, and even Steve, even if we just met him. You don't care? Well take your inheritance, and get the f*ck out."
He glared at her, backing away.

"Simply because I'm the only person allowed to kill her. She doesn't deserve to be killed by some random assassin-wanna-be who thinks she's hot stuff!"
"I get it. With your mother, you had something to lose. You were a direct target. But now? You're not. You don't care about Steve. You don't care about Anna. Me? Chris? We'll take care of it. Because we love and care about Anna, Daniel, Mari, and even Steve, even if we just met him. You don't care? Well take your inheritance, and get the f*ck out."
"Oh? Is that supposed to make me sad? Well, I think my feelings are hurt now. Gee thanks." Obviously Nina was being sarcastic. "If anything, you are all just a bunch of thorns in my side." She paused and sighed. "Like I said, Anna doesn't need to be killed by some random bitch."
Of course, somewhere inside her, she cared about Anna. She cared about Sorin and her family, but she'd rather not. With all the enemies that she has, they'll take advantage of the situation. After all, it's better this way.

Sorin continued his glare, but then gave Nina a smile. "Okay..." Was all he said, but the way he was grinning told that he was right. Nina did care about them. Even if she didn't want to admit it. He crossed his arms, "So... Your plan is to send Steve, Daniel, and Marilyn in..? How are we gonna do that with Daniel in Poland..? I could call him, but that would get him here just in the brink of time..." He looked at Steve.
"I say we send in Steve and Marilyn as bait, and tell Lillian that we'll give her Daniel if she gives us Anna back. Then we kill her once and for all..."
"What do you say?" He said to Nina.

"Yes, that is the plan."
"I say we send in Steve and Marilyn as bait, and tell Lillian that we'll give her Daniel if she gives us Anna back. Then we kill her once and for all... What do you say?
"That sounds fair enough for me."
Steve nods. "I agree. I think it should work."

Sorin pulled out his phone. "Chris is on standby with Mari..." He said, looking to his Aunt. "You wanna make the call to Lillian, telling her we're ready to make the exchange..?" Sorin asked. He then turned to Steve. "Get ready, last time our Uncle and I almost died..." He said, frowning a bit.
"Just promise me you'll keep yourself safe..." He said, putting his hand on his shoulder. He flashed his cousin a smile written in worry.

"Yes, I can do just that. We'll call Lillian. See what she says. After all, if she knows where Daniel is, she should comply with us a little better."
"Get ready, last time our Uncle and I almost died..."
"Gee, thanks for telling me this now." He sighed.
"Just promise me you'll keep yourself safe..."
"I'm a professional boxer. I should be fine." Steve added.
Nina then pulled out her phone and dialed Lillian's number.

After four rings, Lillian answered. "Nina...! The last person I expected...! Seems you have a heart after all...."
Sorin sat back, and listened.

"I've thought it over and decided that we'll send them over. NT01 and NT03. But... we'd like to see if you'll hand over Anna, and we'll hand over NT02. He's not going to be here for a good while... You know where he is."
Nina wasn't sure if this was going to work.

Lillian laughed. "It's a deal... Bring me the project. I'm at an abandoned Zaibatsu lab deep in the forests... You should remember where it is... After all, you were here..."
-click-
Sorin looked at Nina. "Did she go for it?"

Once Lillian hung up, Nina couldn't believe that it worked. But still... she still felt like something was amiss. She still couldn't shake that feeling.
"Did she go for it?"
"She told us to meet her where Antonio told us where she is. Now that we know what is going on, we should take the time and somehow siphon her resources. We'll hand them over, but she's probably anticipating us attacking her. So, we need to outsmart her."
