Chris nodded. "Okay, Marcella. I trust you.." He said. He knelt down to his daughter, taking her hands. "It's going to be okay...." She sniffled, wiping her face. Her makeup was running. "Daddy... Grandmother means the world to me... I don't know what I'm gonna do if she's gone..." Chris looked down. "We'll find her. We'll find Anna. We'll get through this.. together. Like we always do."
Soon, Marcella's comrade, Eric came in. Chris gave him a small smile, "Hello." He said.
Elysium looked over at the stranger. She didn't say anything, she just got up and walked away. She went into the kitchen, to fix herself a drink.
Sorin sighed. "Daniel... We need to go tell dad." He said. Daniel nodded. "Is he at home..?" Daniel asked. Sorin nodded. "He should be off by now." He stood up, looking at Chris. "Keep us posted, please." Sorin said. Daniel waved bye to his uncle, and the brothers left.

Steve stayed silent during the whole thing, still trying to wrap his head around this madness. He wanted to meet his biological family, but never thought that there would be drama or people dying. He just met his grandmother, damn it all! Nothing ever makes sense anymore. when Sorin said that they had to go tell Antonio, Steve went along with him. After all, Sorin and Daniel were all going to need the support. Hopefully, Lei's son can find Anna, or her killer, and maybe even both.

After being briefed on the situation, Eric emerged from the room. Marcella went upstairs to tend to her daughter, and would come back to check on everyone else later.
Eric walked into the living room, and sat across from Chris. It was silence between them, but eventually Eric broke the ice.
"Marcella informed me about the missing whereabouts of your mother and sister. I know that right now, things seem bleak but given the information I've been briefed on, I can start immediately on the search for your family members."
He wanted to let Chris know that, everything will be okay and that Eric will not rest until the mystery is solved. It's the reason why he stepped away from the front lines of being a solider and joined the Investigative Unit on the Tekken Force, it fits his personality more than holding a gun, like his half brother.

Chris waved bye to Steve as he left. He sighed, sitting down. Eric came in, telling him that he was going to find his sister and mother. He looked at Eric. "I appreciate your help." He said, plainly. He wasn't coming off rudely on purpose, it's just that he didn't know him all that well. Chris never pried into Marcella's life outside of him too much. Mainly because of the life he led. She couldn't pry into his.
Soon, Elysium emerged, still wearing her dress from the event. She looked around. "Where did everyone go..?" She asked quietly.
Chris stood up. "Sorin and Daniel went to tell their father what happened." He walked to her. "Steve went with them..." She nodded, walking past him. She sipped her tea, as she turned to Eric.
"And who are you...?" She asked. Chris looked at him. "This is Eric. Marcella's friend." He answered for him. She pursed her lips, leaning towards him. "And you're going to help find my grandmother and my Aunt...?" Chris stood, watching.

Eric nodded at Chris when he said he appreciated his help. He didn't take it rudely and Eric understood the amount of stress and pressure he was in.
In walked Christopher's eldest daughter, Elysium. Eric watched her as she sat down and sipped her tea. She began to question him about who he was and what exactly was he doing here.
But one question seemed to stick out in particular, about her aunt and grandmother. Leaning forward in the chair, Eric made direct contact with Elysium.
His eyes were flooded with genuine care and sincerity, He wanted to help them out badly. "I wouldn't be here if I didn't care Ma'am. I will do everything I can to help out on the search for your aunt and grandmother, I guarantee it."

Elysium scoffed. "My grandparents were accomplished fighters and assassins, as was my Aunt. I don't know who you are, but whoever hurt them is an incredibly strong individual." She sipped her tea again. "Are you certain you're capable of taking on such a task...?" She silently cried, drinking her tea. "You are part of the Mishima Zaibatsu, so I suppose you could be... but even Nina is stumped by this."
"Elysium..." Chris sat next to his daughter. "You're being cold... He's trying to help us." Elysium raised a brow. "Talk to me.." Chris whispered, begging her to be open with him. She looked at her father. "I'm not being cold, I'm being realistic." She stood up.
"Tell Marcella thanks, but no thanks." She said, walking past Eric to her bedroom.
Chris frowned. "I apologize for my daughter." He said. "She becomes distant in moments like this. It concerns me... She hasn't acted like that since her college years." He sat back. Soon, Lillian came back in with beer and chips. "I'm going to bed..." She grumbled, crying. Chris nodded. He turned to Eric. "That was my twin sister, Lillian..."
It was a little awkward. Chris twiddled his thumbs waiting for Marcella to return. Soon, his daughter re-emerged wearing a lavender night gown that hit the middle of the thigh, with a overcoat made of the same silk material and color that hit the floor. Her face was cleaned up, without makeup, and her blonde hair was pulled up into a neat bun.
"Daddy, I'm going to order a pizza. Do you know what Marcella likes..?" She asked.
Chris looked her up and down, and gave Eric a look that said 'Don't look at my daughter'. "Shes upstairs tending to your sister. She should be down soon. Why don't you go put... pants on... and join us..?" He asked.
Elysium shook her head. "I just want pizza, dad..."

Eric was taken back by Elysium's words, but it didn't take him long to get over it. He's been through many situations such as these, so bold words such as those tend not to phase him as much it would someone else.
"No worries Mr.Williams, I've dealt with situations like this before. Your daughter is upset, and scared so, I understand why she might give me the cold shoulder."
Elysium left and returned only to be caught wearing a nightgown and robe. Of course, Eric noticed it but it was short lived by her father who gave him a glare he would possibly never forget.
Soon, Marcella returned with a sleeping Celina in her arms. She walked over to Chris and handed Celina over to him, "I see you and Eric are getting along well.. I appreciate you coming and trying to help out Hasson."
Eric flashed a quick smile at Marcella, waving her comment down, "It's no big deal Torres, I'm always here to help."

Elysium walked up to Marcella. "I think that your friend should go... and we should handle this as a family." She tilted her head. "No offense." She said. Chris took Celina, holding her close. "Or maybe what we need is an outside perspective. This is too personal for us, Elysium." She turned to face her father. "But you know that we and only we can handle this..."
"Clearly Anna couldn't." He spat out at her. She crossed her arms. "Daddy I real--"
"Marilyn... He's staying." He said, sternly. Elysium looked down. "Yes, daddy..." She said quietly. Her eyes welled up.
He stood up, and handed Celina to her. Elysium took her baby sister. "I know what you're doing daddy..." Chris smiled, as Celina slept in Elysium's arms. Whenever she was upset, her father would put her sister in her arms to cheer her up. It always worked.
"Yeah, ever since she was born she's the only thing that makes you not like Nina." He said, smiling in victory. Elysium looked at her sister, smiling. "I'm scared..." She said, holding her close. "What are going to do..?"
Chris tilted his head. "We're going to accept all of the help we can get." She turned to Eric. "Fine." She said.

Eric sat as he listened to the family discuss whether or not he should stay. It honestly didn't matter to him whether he stayed or left, he could do research and find clues practically anywhere.
"Since I'm staying, I may have to ask you guys a few questions about what you all know. If that doesn't pose a problem." Eric spoke.

Elysium rocked Celina, looking at Eric. Suspicious, yet intrigued, the young woman examined his face. He seemed genuine enough, but she wasn't sure. Her whole family was on the line. Could he be good..? She didn't really know. Atleast he was easy for her to look at.
Chris nodded. "Go ahead. Ask away." He said.
Elysium turned to Marcella. "Can I see you in the kitchen?" She asked. She stroked her sister's curls as she went into the kitchen. She sipped her tea, and set the mug down. "What do you like on your pizza...?" She started. "Also... Are you sure this guy is okay...? I've never heard you talk about him.." She said.

Eric sat up in his chair before looking over at Chris, "I need to know any information regarding your sister and mother's past. Anything and anyone could give me a clue for something in regards to their disappearance."
Marcella followed Elysium in the kitchen, she wanted to talk about Eric, fair enough. Marcella made herself a glass of water, taking a sip, she leaned against the counter.
"Hehe, I've never talked about him because you never asked. Eric is a wonderful person, I've fought on the front lines with him many times so he knows what he's doing." Marcella took a glance to the boys in the living room before looking back at Elysium..
"You like him don't you?" Marcella rather ask the hard question now, just to get it out the way. Her facial expression was that of a smirk, placing a hand on her hip.

Chris raised a brow. "We're a family of assassins, and we have a lot of enemies. There were a lot of people who wanted to hurt my father. One day, someone succeeded." He sat back. "My sisters attacked eachother like rabid dogs, blaming eachother, until today. We went to Anna's house. It was a wreck, and there a letter saying that they killed my father and Anna too... The police suspect that whoever attacked my father and my sister could be after the whole family, because none of us have heard from our mother since she got here."
He frowned. "She was opening a safehouse for people in distress.... The one selfless thing that woman does, and she goes missing..."
Elysium rolled her eyes. "I don't know your little friend.." She said. She gave her sister a kiss on the forehead. "But... He is cute..." She laughed. "Daddy would kill him. You know he would. Besides, we have bigger problems... We have family to find."
She picked up the phone, and dialed. "Hi... I need two pepperoni pizzas. Yeah. The address is 325 Hollow Dr." She hung up. She looked across the kitchen opening, looking at Eric's reflection in the mirror. She sighed. "I tried to love once... It didn't really work for me." She handed Celina back to Marcella. "She's getting a little restless. She may want to lay in her bed." She said.

While Chris explained everything he knew, Eric brought out a notepad and began to record everything he was saying and wrote it down on the paper.
"This is great Mr.Williams. If you have anything else please share. Any little detail could help."
Marcella took her daughter back from Elysium, still smirking at her.She noticed that Elysium was checking Eric out, it wasn't that hard to notice.
She walked past Elysium, but stopped in the kitchen doorway, "Give him a chance, maybe get to know him better. You'll never know!"
Marci flashed a quick smile at Elysium before taking her daughter back upstairs, calling it a night herself.

"A cop named Zakk Lei is investigating Anna's disappearance. We weren't there when it went down with her. She and Nina were the only ones home when dad was killed, and Nina has amnesia or something..."
Elysium shook her head. "Goodnight, Marcella." She walked into the living room, sitting next to Eric. She looked at him. "So... Any progress..?"
"So far he's taking notes."
She nodded. "Notes..." She turned to him. "Daddy will you give us a moment..?" She asked him. Chris looked at his daughter. "Are you going to be rude again..?"
"I was hardly rude the first time." She flashed a smile at him. "But let's be real, I've spent more time with grandmother in the last five years than you have in your entire life." She said. He raised a brow. "And what about Anna...?" She clicked her tongue. "You've spent even less time with her." She said.
He nodded. "Alright..." He stood up, he looked at his daughter, and then at Eric. "I know you're a friend of Marcella's, and you're helping us find my mother and sister..." He looked down. "But if I come in here and see her in anything less than what she's wearing right now... I'll kill you." He smiled. "Goodnight."
Elysium watched as he left, turning her big doe eyes at Eric. "He's so protective... For some reason he thinks I've never dated anybody..." She shook her head. "I think it's because he wasn't there when grandfather died..."

Eric continued to jot down more notes as Chris continued to speak, in Eric's eyes any clue is good evidence and the more he had the less work it meant for him.
Just when he was about to finish, Elysium sat next to him. It caught him off guard a little being that this was the same person who chewed his head off just a few minutes prior to this.
He watched as the father and daughter continued their conversation with Chris telling them goodnight, but not without warning him about his daughter, and something along the lines of killing him, and being that he knows somewhat of the Williams family line, that could be one hundred percent true.
"No need to worry Mr.Williams, everything will be fine. I'm about to finish up here anyway. Good night to you as well!"
Turning his head, he noticed a pair of big doe eyes looking at him. He smiled at her flashing his perfect smile and white teeth, he rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly to her comment.
"No hard feelings for your father, he's just doing what father's do. They protect and provide. I respect the man for being protective of you, it shows that he cares."
