Jiro had followed Lei far away enough from the action with the rest of the crowd. Everything in him wanted to run back and help his father, but he was scared. He had sparred plenty of times with his dad, but he knew his father had never gone full strength with him yet, so being in such a serious situation made him believe he was not cut out for the mission at hand. When he saw the explosion from the restaurant, he feared the worst.
"Dad... "
"Is it the Hachijo clan secrets? If memory serves, they were trying to capture Jin."Lei asked.
"Who isn't trying to capture Jin Kazama, Mr. Lei? I've heard my dad speak about the Russians with the elders several times when I was younger, but I don't know all of the specifics. Something about their obsession with us for killing some evil guy like a hundred years ago. I think his name was Rasputin or something." He was still focused on the fire from the building. He heard the detective say something in response, but didn't quite catch it because of his anxiety. Then, he heard the several other explosions and he ran toward the action. After several steps and pushing some of the civilians out of the way, he saw his father walking towards him,with one hand behind his back the other petting his beard. Leaving what looked like a war zone behind him. "Dad!"
"Like I told you boy, it took no time at all! Ha ha!"
"You're freaking insane! And where is your shirt?"

Lei nodded. "Right, the dude who cursed the Royal family and died in the Neva River. Yes. Of course."
He was glad to see Doppo make it out alive. It was great to have one Devil Gene user on his side. As Lei walked along the path he got a message from Elise. She was asking him if they wanted to go grab lunch together.
He looks at Doppo and Jiro before telling Elise that he still has a lot of work to do.
"So, what's the next step?". Lei asked Doppo.

"For now, Detective! We rest! Despite my appearance, that dog has quite a bite, Ha Ha!" Doppo pulled a phone out of the sash on his belt, the screen was cracked but still functional. "He even managed to break my phone this time, he truly has gotten stronger!" He handed the phone to Lei. "We shall exchange contact information. Whenever you have the time I would be indebted to you to introduce me and my son to Ms. Kazama. Should you ever need my assistance with anything you will have my number." He grinned as he rubbed his beard.

Lei took the broken phone and put in his phone number into Doppo's phone. He was glad Doppo turned out to be an ally, not another man using Yoshimitsu to set him up for slaughter. At least something went right today.
"Is it fine if I put my son's number in as well? I know this is supposed to be a secret, but he's really good at keeping secrets, too..." Lei asked. "He'd be a useful ally, too."

Doppo rubbed his beard for a moment. "Hmmm... For now, I suppose it's ok. Although... I urge you not reveal our family name to anyone unless absolutely necessary." He looked back at the damage caused by the last battle. " As you can see Detective, just with the few people who do know we exist, things can get ugly quite fast. Heihachi Mishima believes he has eliminated the Hachijo clan and I would like him to assume this much for now."
He took the phone back and sent a message to Lei's phone. He turned around to the tank in which was in the distance. The two soldiers had come back for Dragunov, who had come to but was unable to move. Dragunov's ice-blue eyes were drowning in hatred. Doppo's were shining red as he grinned with a look of pure satisfaction. The two men dragged their superior away from the chaos they had created as Doppo laughed. "Haaaa Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!" His laugh echoed through the streets.
"Huh? What's so funny?" Jiro asked.

Lei nodded. "Nobody is going to know. Trust me. Your secret is safe with me."
There are plenty of information that Lei has withheld from even those who are close to him.
"Anyway, I will try and get in touch with Asuka... See how things are holding up for her and maybe we can invite you all for dinner."
That was next on the list. "She resides in Osaka, which is quite a distance. We'd have to catch the train."
Plus that gives him time to go meet up with Elise. He'd probably have to go send Li-Mei back to Hong-Kong with her mother for the time being and pay for Pai's tickets.

"Anyway, I will try and get in touch with Asuka... See how things are holding up for her and maybe we can invite you all for dinner."
"Of course, detective! We'd be glad to join you for dinner. I will bring the hand made tea my family specializes in. It will bring great vigor to you detective. The ladies will think you're 20 years younger! Haahahahaha!" Doppo began slapping Lei on his back. Jiro seemed to have something he wanted to say, as Doppo noticed his uncomfortable posture. "Well boy, if you have something to say-- speak up!"
Jiro scratched his head for a moment "Well... I'm not even sure if this helps, but I spend alot of time in this Anti-Mishima chatroom to see what comes up from there. Some guy in the chatroom kept boasting about how he knew Heihachi had more than one son. I'm not sure if this is true or not, but I didn't know if you heard anything detective."
"You mean Mr. Chaolan, Jiro we do know of him." Doppo added.
"No! I know about him. He's head of Violet Systems right? He's not who this guy was talking about. He said this guy worked for the Mishima Zaibatsu Tekken Force as a squadron leader. I couldn't find any info when I tried to hack in the Mishima Zaibatsu mainframe. There are several squadrons whose information is missing, sooo I was kinda hoping this is something you knew Mr. Lei."
Doppo smiled as he rubbed his beard."Haaaaa!" He began slapping his son on his back. "Son, if this pans out as valid information it will be the most useful piece of info to date. Very good boy! Very good! Haha!" Jiro nervously smiled as he scratched his head.

Lei jumped a little. "I already feel 20 years younger." He smiled.
When Jiro mentioned that Heihachi had another son other than Lee... Lei wasn't sure about that. "I have not heard of this, but I will be sure to ask Lee if he knows anything about that. If the information leads anywhere, I am sure he will definitely side with us."

"I hope so." Jiro added.
"As do I. We will need all the powerful hands we can grab in this war." Doppo held his hand out for Lei "Detective, thank you for coming today. It has been quite fun! Haha! Please do not hesitate to call on us."

Lei nodded in agreement. "Yes. And we also need intelligence. What use is a good army if there is no one to lead it? This Tekken Force man would be a very valuable asset."
Lei then grabbed Doppo's hand and shook it as he smiled. "Of course. If something happens... I will definitely keep you in mind. If I need you for anything, I will be sure to call you."
It was good to have an ally that he could trust. Those things are very rare.

The police finally showed up and began setting a perimeter around the area. Some of the police were taking eye witness accounts of the incident and Doppo saw one such citizen make hand gestures as if he were describing someone with a long beard. Uh-oh.
"Well Detective! I suppose we shall take our leave. Oh and please send me those files on Mr. Feng Wei, when you get home as well remove the bugs in your apartment. With the Russians, the devices are always in the vents... Til next time!" He began walking off through the crowd quickly.
"Mr. Lei. It was a pleasure to meet you." Jiro bowed and followed behind his father.

"Yes. I will send you some files. And I'll take care of the bugs. Also, Jiro. Keep it up." Lei smiled as he waved at Jiro. He let them disappear from the crowd as one of the officers came up to Lei and asked him if he knew anything. Lei just told them what he knew. He purposely left out anything with Jiro, just that the Russians were using the streets as a battlefield.
After he was done, Lei headed back to the apartment to go and look for the bugs and smash them. Then he can call Asuka.

The next day, Paul suggested they go again to Mario's. He really enjoyed the pizza and the place. But when they were almost there, the street was closed to public and polices were blocking the way. Paul could not even see the pizzeria since the whole area was blocked.
"What the...?"
Paul went to some police and asked him: "Hey, what happened here?"
"Sorry, but the area is restricted. You have to leave."

Xianlong and Steve went to accompany Paul once more the next day to practice for the tournament once more. As well as go back to Mario's Pizza. However, when the three arrived, they couldn't believe what was going on. Police were everywhere as Xianlong noticed that the building had been destroyed.
"Bloody hell!"

Paul was still shocked and asked: "Is it the oven that exploded or what?
And mostly asked the most important question: "Is anyone dead?"
The police only answered: "We cannot say anything. Just leave the area."
Paul then said: "I guess we should leave then..."
Yet he kept looking, trying to figure out what happened...
