Lei finally arrived at Antonio's place. The whole time he was there, he couldn't stop thinking about Elise. Yeah, his timing was way off. But he sometimes wondered if she thought of him, too. That dainty little woman. Yes, Helena was a very attractive woman. Yeah, Lei agreed to meet with her for lunch... and yeah... he might be attracted to her... just a little. But with Elise... it was different. It was like... something special. Was it her exotic features? Was it her accent? Was it her butchered English? Was it the way she carried herself? He felt something. However, she seemed to be really close with Antonio. He didn't seem pleased at all. Are they a thing?
"You know, Antonio. I think it's cool that our sons are pals. I was always a little worried about little Wanrei. He always likes to pick fights with people, and rough house and wrestle with the neighbors. He was a little wild thing. Teaching him Kung-Fu taught him how to focus that energy into something constructive... and he started doing well in school."

Once the two arrived, Antonio lit a fire in the fire place, and went into the kitchen. He grabbed two fancy glass tumblers, and a bottle of his finest whiskey. He brought them into the living room, and sat down next to Lei. He poured them each an even amount of whiskey and set the bottle on the table.
"You know, Antonio. I think it's cool that our sons are pals. I was always a little worried about little Wanrei. He always likes to pick fights with people, and rough house and wrestle with the neighbors. He was a little wild thing. Teaching him Kung-Fu taught him how to focus that energy into something constructive... and he started doing well in school."
Antonio smiled. "Yeah... I'm happy aswell... Zakk seems like a good kid." He sipped his whiskey, cringing a bit from the burn. "I never had an issue with Sorin making friends... If anything he had too many friends..." He raised a brow. "A few too many companions too, if you catch my drift. I suppose he inherited that from his mother..." He joked. "Martial Arts is a great disciple to teach children. I was lucky to have learned kickboxing in my younger years. I taught Sorin, and he took to it well. It's annoying how good he is at everything..." He chuckled.
He paused. "I will say this, I was worried for both my son, and your boy when he came knocking my door... It's not every day you get asked about top secret information from who is essentially a stranger. I appreciate him taking it easy on me, though..." He tilted his head, looking at the whiskey. "I do admire their drive, though... I just wish they, Sorin especially, understood what the word consequence means."

"It's usually hard when your child becomes sexually aware... that's the hardest part. If anything, my son and my great-niece always complain about my 'guests' that I invite over for dinner. Li-Mei's never taken a liking to my many... dates. Neither has Wanrei, or my niece. I suppose I have a natural talent for dating women that my family hates. I think I have the birds and bees down pat... after having to go over it two times. You know what they say, the third time's the charm."
"Martial Arts is a great disciple to teach children. I was lucky to have learned kickboxing in my younger years. I taught Sorin, and he took to it well. It's annoying how good he is at everything..."
"It is. But I think it's great. That means you can sleep and rest assured that the next generation can take care of the world after you're gone..."
"I will say this, I was worried for both my son, and your boy when he came knocking my door... It's not every day you get asked about top secret information from who is essentially a stranger. I appreciate him taking it easy on me, though... I do admire their drive, though... I just wish they, Sorin especially, understood what the word consequence means."
"Yeah. Sorry. I kind of ordered my son to do that... he kind of has a reputation down at the station for being a bit of a loose cannon cop. I kind of can't blame the kid. I guess he inherited my quick temper... But with time... tempers become easier to control. But don't worry, he hasn't had an incident where people have gotten seriously injured due to police misconduct. I think he just puts on a tough act. Probably because he's a half-breed... and a lot of people underestimate him for it. But yeah... they're young. I didn't know the word consequence when I married my son's mother... I mean... I got her pregnant so I had to marry her... since that's a no-no. Then our marriage falls apart within the year..."

"It's alright. It ended well.." Antonio said. He listened to Lei, and nodded. "We were all young and stupid... People will be ignorant, or hateful. Trust me, I understand that. Someone called Sorin a faggot, and I nearly beat them to death..." He chuckled. "I also understand not learning consequences... Not when I dated Anna, not when she got pregnant..." He sipped his whiskey, gulping it down. "Not even when my mother was murdered."
He set the glass down. "I would change so much.." He chuckled. He turned to Lei. "These children... we love them, but sometimes... Sometimes you want to just shake them and say, stop!" He made a shaking motion, laughing.
"I'm thinking after all of this is over, and we find Daniel... I want to take my children back to my homeland of Italy.." He smiled. "Hell, Anna can come too if she's not too worried about her sister..." He smiled even more at the thought of it. "We can be far away from the drama of the Mishima family, and all this war..." He picked up his glass, and sipped the whiskey once more. "Hell, might even pick up some old hobbies, and call up some old friends." He sipped once more, before setting the glass down once more. "But I don't see them letting me go so easily. I'm sure you know what happened to the other scientists who betrayed the Zaibatsu..."

"We were all young and stupid... People will be ignorant, or hateful. Trust me, I understand that. Someone called Sorin a faggot, and I nearly beat them to death..."
Lei raised his glass in agreement.
"I remember when Xianlong came to me for advice. She was being bullied for being a mainlander. You know what I told her. Kick their ass! Hell, I wanted to kick those kids asses for not wanting to talk to Wanrei for being a half-breed!"
"I also understand not learning consequences... Not when I dated Anna, not when she got pregnant... Not even when my mother was murdered."
"Yeah... It sucks when it's your fault. It's my fault that my partner got murdered in a shoot out. If anything, I wished I reached out to him sooner..." He somberly looked down. "Now he's come back from the dead like a Terminator, hell bent on destroying..."
"I would change so much... These children... we love them, but sometimes... Sometimes you want to just shake them and say, stop!"
"I know! It gets annoying sometimes when Li-Mei always asks me 'Why?' like, 'Why is big brother and adult?' or 'Why is my cousin not my sister?' or 'Why are you my Daddy?' or 'Why does Mommy never see me?' I love her but, sometimes I wished someone else answered her questions. These are all hard questions. She's only 3... she's not old enough to learn that I had sex with her mom and knocked her up before she broke up with me and she married a guy, who she was fucking on the side! So, naturally, Pai thought Li-Mei was her boy-toy's child. Well, guess what, she was wrong! And I was so happy because Pai was such a whore, SHE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHO THE FATHER OF HER CHILD IS! Like, I just can't fathom that my ex-partner's dick was inside of Pai, where my dick likes to hang out at! I mean, yeah I've slept with a lot of women, but AT LEAST I HAVE SEX WITH ONE WOMAN! I didn't go around fucking random women off the street! But yeah, I was so glad... but at the cost of poor Li-Mei... getting confused... I feel sorry for the poor girl..."
"I'm thinking after all of this is over, and we find Daniel... I want to take my children back to my homeland of Italy.. Hell, Anna can come too if she's not too worried about her sister...We can be far away from the drama of the Mishima family, and all this war... Hell, might even pick up some old hobbies, and call up some old friends. But I don't see them letting me go so easily. I'm sure you know what happened to the other scientists who betrayed the Zaibatsu..."
"Yeah... I've heard. Also... you want Anna to come with you? What about Miss Elise? Aren't you going to come back to her... and help her raise her daughter? I mean... she needs a man to help her take care of that timid girl... and... well... aren't ya'll... like... fucking?" Lei got straight to the point. He really needed to know. Lei wasn't a big fan of stealing other people's partners, especially since he was a victim of infidelity.

"Damn.... That's rough, man... I get what you were saying now about your picker..." He shook his head. "These women... They are crazy sometimes..." He finished off his glass of whiskey, "And sometimes they belong in an asylum..!"
"Yeah... I've heard. Also... you want Anna to come with you? What about Miss Elise? Aren't you going to come back to her... and help her raise her daughter? I mean... she needs a man to help her take care of that timid girl... and... well... aren't ya'll... like... fucking?"
Antonio nearly dropped the bottle of whiskey when he was asked if he and Elise were fooling around. He was laughing, and filled that glass to the very top.
"No, my friend..." He took a sip, and sat back. He looked at Lei. "I am in love with the ever elusive Anna Leigh Williams...!" He raised his glass up to the photo of his son on the wall. "Even though she left me. Even though she made me raise my son alone. Even though her priorities are so out of line, it's insane..." He looked at Lei. I'm in love with Anna. Despite everything, that woman has the biggest heart I've ever seen... She just has such a fucked up way of showing it. Everything she does, she... tries so hard..." He nodded. "It's always been her..." He sipped his whiskey. "No... Dr. Kristovich and I are just good friends... If you want to go to Poland, my friend, that is all on you, I will not stop you... I will be busy mending and... praying that now that Anna sees what she lost out on... She may want to try to get it back..."
He laughed a little. "Speaking of fucking, Anna..." He whistled. "Best fuck I've ever had..." He put up the OK symbol, and laughed.

Even though her priorities are so out of line, it's insane... I'm in love with Anna. Despite everything, that woman has the biggest heart I've ever seen... She just has such a fucked up way of showing it. Everything she does, she... tries so hard... It's always been her..."
"At least the one you love is still alive and out there. The one I loved... Jun Kazama... she died. And had Jin... I mean in a way... I see Jin as my son... eventhough he isn't... I never touched Jun. I respected her. Pai on the other hand, she fucking broke my heart! WE WERE GONNA BE MARRIED! We were gonna have kids! But noo she had to go fuck my partner behind my back. But good for you. Good for you! You can have Anna. I don't care for her... she's not my type..."
"No... Dr. Kristovich and I are just good friends... If you want to go to Poland, my friend, that is all on you, I will not stop you... I will be busy mending and... praying that now that Anna sees what she lost out on... She may want to try to get it back..."
"So... you're telling me I have a chance? So, I could have her! I can take her to dinner and let her see how a real man treats her!" Lei smiled.
"Speaking of fucking, Anna... Best fuck I've ever had..."
"I would imagine so... I mean... she must be that great in bed for you to still desire her... I kind of wonder how Elise is in bed... I can see her being very experimental... Very submissive... and docile... though to be honest... I really can't think of a woman who gave me the best sex... I suppose my ex, Yinmao. But that was years ago... we had to split because... police work got in the way. It was always why I failed to hold a steady relationship! But you know what! I'm retired! And I can definitely hold a steady relationship now!"
Lei's mind wandered as he saw himself being married to Elise and having their child, and just the two of them dying of old age in each other's arms. "I can do it! I'm going to put my investigation on hold and go to Poland with her! I'm sure my parents would understand, wouldn't they? Their son halts their work so that he can find happiness."

Antonio chuckled. "Ditto regarding Elise... You can have her.." He clinked his glass against Lei's.
"I would imagine so... I mean... she must be that great in bed for you to still desire her... I kind of wonder how Elise is in bed... I can see her being very experimental...

But that was years ago... we had to split because... police work got in the way. It was always why I failed to hold a steady relationship! But you know what! I'm retired! And I can definitely hold a steady relationship now!"
"See... What I love about her in bed is that she takes charge... She's very in control, and there's something so erotic about giving yourself to a woman like that..." He bit his lip. "Man, I wanna see her now..." He laughed. "You think my son would be upset if I took his mommy away...?" He finished his second glass of whiskey. "Ooh..." He shook his head.
"I can do it! I'm going to put my investigation on hold and go to Poland with her! I'm sure my parents would understand, wouldn't they? Their son halts their work so that he can find happiness."
"My advice to you... well, the best advice drunk me can give to you..." He laughed a little. "Is do what will make you happy, b-but... be responsible... and hold your ethics together... because... if you betray your code, th-then... You will not be truly happy, now w-will you..?" He smiled a little. "That i-is what I d-did.... well, i-in more r-recent years..."
"Hic..! He hiccuped, and giggled. "I'm drunk, Lei..."

"Ditto regarding Elise... You can have her.."
"Cheers!" Lei smiled. "May we two old men find love!"
"See... What I love about her in bed is that she takes charge... She's very in control, and there's something so erotic about giving yourself to a woman like that... Man, I wanna see her now... You think my son would be upset if I took his mommy away...?"
"He shouldn't! Otherwise remind him that this union is the reason why he exists!"
"Is do what will make you happy, b-but... be responsible... and hold your ethics together... because... if you betray your code, th-then... You will not be truly happy, now w-will you..?"
"Getting a date with Elise would make me very happy. So would figuring out what my father was trying to warn us."
"I'm drunk, Lei..."
"I've barely scratched the surface. I've got a nice buzz going... Should I go see Elise off, tomorrow. Is she going to mind? Do you think she likes me... maybe just a little bit... I hope I'm good enough for her... God... she's been spending a lot of time with my son! I hope she likes him as a son! I hope she doesn't try to date him! I'm so much better than him! I can help raise her daughter! I've raised two kids without a partner!"

"Lei...! Lei...." He put his hand on his shoulder. "Y-You could... O-or......" He smiled. "You could try to c-convince her t-to stay...." He set his glass down. "I wouldn't m-mind her b-being back...." He giggled, and slowly, Antonio fell asleep...

"Yeah... I could... but what reason would she stay... I mean she needs to hide her daughter... it can't be done if she stays..."
It wasn't long before Antonio passed out. Lei sighed a little. He was drunk and buzzed, but wasn't quite shit-faced. He let Antonio rest. Lei also noted he was in no condition to drive. He had to find out when Elise was leaving. Maybe then he could catch her before she leaves and get her number.

Antonio came to consciousness when someone was poking him in the chest. "...Antonio...!" He opened his eyes, to see Anna sitting next to him. She smiled little, "Hey..." Antonio had a bit of a headache, but he pushed through and sat up. "What the hell..." Anna looked at the half empty bottle. "I see someone had a night..." Antonio stood up, grabbing the bottle, and the empty glasses, and setting them in the kitchen. "What are you doing here, Anna...? How did you even get into my house..?"
"Okay, Number one... Your door was straight up unlocked. I would be careful about that. And two, you asked me to come over yesterday, remember..?" She said, crossing her legs. Antonio tried to remember, but it was too early for the man. It would come to him though. "Well... Can I make you some coffee..?" He asked her. "You can make the pig over there disappear.." She responded.
Antonio laughed. "He is my friend, and he can stay as long as he likes.." He held his hand out. Anna stood up, and took it. The pair walked into the kitchen. "Where is our son..?" He asked her. Anna smiled a bit. "He's at his apartment... He's a great kid. You did well, Antonio." She smiled at him. He smiled at her. "I just..." he spoke as he set up the coffee pot. "It's not too late for you, Anna... You can still try to be in his life as much as you can be at this point..."
He turned around when he was finished, "Don't waste any more time. Especially not on your bitch of a sister..." Anna laughed. "I'm so glad someone else sees her as I see her..." Antonio crossed his arms, "Anna...-" Anna held her hand up, "I know, I'm... kidding." She walked up to him, putting her body close to his. "Maybe we can just... pick up where we left off..." She said, putting her hands on his chest. His heart was racing... She leaned into him, but instead of kissing him, she laid her head on his chest. Antonio sat there for a moment, and held her.

Lei woke up the next morning slightly disoriented. He checked his watch and checked his phone and immediately shot up.
"Oh my god! Elise is leaving! I need to go see her!" He immediately got up and headed straight the door to get in his car, only to find out that he didn't drive here.
"Antonio! I need your keys! It's 10 O'clock in the morning! Elise is probably heading to Poland as we speak! I didn't get her number!"

Anna turned her head to see Lei was awake, and running around. He seemed in a hurry. Antonio went and grabbed his car keys, "Don't wreck it..." He said. "Good luck..." He gave a smile to Lei. Anna ran into the living room, "Not so fast, Detective...!" She snatched the keys out of Lei's hand. "Have we made any progress...? Where is my son..?" She asked.
Antonio took the keys from her, and gave them back to Lei. "He doesn't have time.." He turned to him. "Go... Before she cockblocks you even more.." He chuckled. Anna rolled her eyes. "Are your priorities out of whack..?" Antonio raised his brows. "You're talking to me about priorities..?"
"How are you going to...." She thought for a moment. "Get to work...?" She smiled. Antonio laughed. "I'm off work today, Anna..." He placed his hands on her shoulders. "I want to find him just as badly as you do, but... Lei must first take care of his needs if he is going to attend to our needs..."
She sighed, "Fine...." She smoothed out her red dress. Antonio looked at her. "You still look so beautiful.." Anna looked up at him, "Thank, I know.." She smirked. He walked up to her, and placed his hands on her waist. "So... How long has been for you, in your mind..." He asked her. "What do you mean..?" She asked. He held her closely. "Since the last time you saw me..." Anna understood what he meant. "Take out the nineteen years of the cold sleep, I'd guess... About eight years."
He nodded. "Well... If you want to start where we left off, it's still not so simple... We have to build trust again, and get to know each other again... and--"
Anna leaned up and kissed him.

Lei caught the keys and thanked Antonio. "It's in safe hands... Trust me... I'm a mechanic."
Just as he was about to exit the door Anna took his keys.
"Have we made any progress...? Where is my son..?"
"Look, I'll get to that, but right now... I need to go see Elise before she leaves! We ha_"
"Go... Before she cockblocks you even more.."
Lei was then given back the keys. Without explaining himself anymore he quickly made a bee-line and ran straight to Antonio's car, sliding on the hood before finally getting in. He made a quick exit. Lei checked his phone and saw that Zakk asked where he was and he said nothing about Elise... that's good. He made his way to the airport. Hopefully, he's not too late.
