Shortly after Marcella left Eric alone, a masked man knocked on the door, before entering. His helmet has hues of blue, as well as his tactical suit. It looked like something out of the Ocean. "....Mr. Hasson..." He said, his voice distorted. He turned to the door, "He's here..." He said, before standing ready for command in the corner. In walked a tall red head. Her wavy hair was pulled up into a bun, and she wore a dark green, slim fit dress that cut right below knees. She wore matching heels and a black leather coat. She flashed Eric her blue eyes, and smiled. "Hello Mr. Hasson.." She paused. "My name is Madison Grant..." She said, walking towards him. She pulled a chair, sitting next to him.
"...How are you doing..?" She asked.

Eric noticed the man who entered his room, he was suspicious as he did not know that he was expecting company especially if it was past visiting hours. Just when he was about to address the man, in walked an unfamiliar woman who he did not know. She asked how he was before pulling up a chair. Cautious, Eric sat up in his bed, keeping an eye on the woman.
Clearing his throat, he opened his mouth to speak. "I've seen better days, who are you? And why are you here?" Eric said to the woman, wanting her to get straight to the point so she could leave.

"Oh, how to the point..." She said, smiling. She held a folder in her hand. "As I said before, My name is Madison Grant. I'm the owner and operator of the Poseidon Cruise ship. I originally came to invite you to the tournament I'm holding in honor of the late Heihachi Mishima... However, seeing your current condition, I don't see it happening..." She said. "But, I thought of something else..." She said, her tone soft. "I've come to offer you a job of sorts..." She cleared her throat, opening the folder. "Three years ago, my son was murdered..." She handed him a photo. "I believe this woman, whose name is Elysium Williams, murdered him. The police were useless, therefore I had to take matters into my own hands..." She set the folder aside, "Keep the photo, from my own investigations, I've seen you two together for a little while, but not long enough for her to truly get to you..." She tilted her head. "Find out what you can... I'll pay you handsomely, of course..."

Eric listened to the woman as she explained who she was and her purpose for being here. Most of it didn't catch his attention until the woman who went by the name of Madison mentioned a favor of hers that she needed to be done. She handed Eric another folder, much like the one Marcella gave him, opening it to be surprisingly caught off guard as he stared at the picture of Elysium.
Eric himself hasn't spoken to Elysium in a while, the only time he remembered contacting her was when he attended his trip to Sweden and that was a few weeks ago.
Looking over at the woman, he placed the folder on a table nearest to her. "It's a nice gesture I'll give you that, Madison.." His brown eyes looked over into hers, "But I work alone... and I'm not going to have someone who doesn't know me, bark and give me orders.."

Madison chuckled lightly. "You don't strike me as a happy man... So Grumpy, but... I can see why..." She shook her head. "I am simply offering you a job, you can decline if you wish..." She crossed her legs. God, this man was irritating, but she wouldn't let him see that. "...But, information is valuable to me... Whether she did or didn't... I must know."
She stood up. "...How about... You meet me on my Cruise Ship, tonight. If you come, I'll take it you accept the job, and I'll pay you half and pay you the rest when you bring me evidence of her innocence or guilt... If you don't... Well, then I suppose I'll just have to find someone else..." She said.
She handed Eric her business card. "Address is on there... Well, the port number ayways.." She said, chuckling. "We set sail tonight at Nine, our last week long cruise before the tournament begins..." She paused. "Hopefully we'll be able to come to an agreement... Besides, You look like you could use a vacation.." She said, smiling. She then turned and walked out of the room. The masked man followed after, and shut the door behind him.

Eric scoffed at the woman's comment about his grumpiness, being in his situation he had every right to be grumpy. "Trust me lady, you don't know the half of what I've been through, cut me some slack.."
Madison handed Eric a business card complete with her Company name, and address of the port where she wanted to meet Eric later on tonight. Fiddling with the card, Eric pondered about his decision as the pair left his hospital room and closed the door behind them...

About an hour had passed, when Elysium walked through the door. She smiled a little giving a light knock, letting Eric know she was there. "Hey you..." She walked over to him, wearing black leggings, with a long black shawl draped over her figure. Her blonde hair was down, and her black heels clicked as she walked. "Well... Now, I guess I'm the one seeing you in the hospital..."
She pulled a chair, and sat next to him. "Marcella called me... What's going on..?" She asked. It was nice, something else to focus on other than avenging her grandmother...

A little while after Madison and her mysterious bodyguard left Eric's room, Eric thought that it was a good idea to get dressed into something more fitting for him, since he had plans to meet up with the woman in a few hours.
Shortly after his surgery, Eric slowly began to feel better, luckily the incision near his abdominal area wasn't large and once fully healed will only leave small scarring.
He placed on black pants and a button up shirt to match. Just when he was about to place on his shirt, there was a knock at the door and his good friend, Elysium, entered his room.
Finishing his last button on his shirt, Eric smiled at the sound of her voice, it was nice having something else to focus on besides his current situation. Turning around, he noticed that Elysium pulled up a chair next to his bed, Eric sat down on the end of it so that they could talk face to face.
"Marcella called you huh?" Eric responded, not surprised by her actions. Elysium wanted to know what's going on, and unfortunately Eric couldn't tell her the truth in fear of her safety, so when in doubt he improvised...
"Not much is really going on, Ely. Just... got into a bad accident is all, I'm fine though, honestly." Eric tried hard to hide the truth from Ely, but it proved difficult for him. His only hope would be that she doesn't catch on...

Elysium smiled, "...An accident...?" She pursed her lips, "Alright... Have your secrets. But, if they get you killed, don't say I didn't try to help!" She said, holding her hands up. She tilted her head, rubbing her eyes. "Sorry... I'm a little drowsy... I took a red eye from Dublin..." She said, standing up. "You seem fine... So, We should go have lunch, and.... catch up..." She clasped her hands together. "Atleast until the pain meds wear off..." She said, chuckling.
"But if you'd like to stay, and get checked up on, I'd understand..."
She wanted to take his hand, but didn't...

Eric nervously chuckled at her comments, though, hoping that she wouldn't catch on to anymore secrets that he was currently withholding. She offered lunch and give time for them to catch up with each other, seems fair, given that he hasn't spoken to Ely since being in Sweden.
Eric smiled at Elysium, "Why would I not go to lunch with you?" He got off of the bed, cautious about his sutures, Eric laughed at the comment she made about his pain medication wearing off, almost as if it didn't bother him.
"Pfft. Really Ely? I've been shot at, stabbed twice, and almost died. I have no weaknesses, small surgery will not be able to stop me!"
That is until, Eric walked forward not paying attention and stubbed his toe on the leg of the chair that Ely previously sat in, "Dammit! Ouch..!" Eric laughed at himself lightly, as he hopped on one foot, like a defense mechanism for the radiating pain he felt.
Looking over at Ely, he already knew she would comment on his clumsiness, "Look. Okay maybe I have one weakness. Chair legs. But, you know I'm a klutz! Hehe.."

Elysium smiled, "Alright... Well, let's go!" She began to walk the door, as Eric talked about how a few stitches couldn't stop him. She turned, just in time to see him nearly fall on his face stepping into the chair. She started laughing, and walked over to him, "Oh my god, are you okay!?" She said, placing her hands on his shoulders.
"Do you need a minute..?" She asked, "Or do broken toes not have an effect on you either..?" She said, jokingly...
She pulled away, walking out of the door. "Are you feeling like Sushi, or... do you want something else...? I do need to see Marcella before we go, though.."

Eric looked up at Elysium with a smirk on his face, "Oh whatever! Haha!" Elysium helped Eric up and proceeded to walk over to the door, she asked about his preference in food and at this point, Eric could eat just about anything!
"Wherever you want to go is fine with me, love. Pick any place, my treat." Eric always offered to pay for meals when out with good friends, back home in Sweden, Eric barely allows his mother to carry her bags, let alone pay for anything!
Following behind Elysium, she also mentioned about taking a visit to see Marcella which made him feel a little uneasy.Things between him and Marcella are kind of awkward at the moment, unbeknownst to Elysium...
"That's fine with me Ely.." His tone was a little unsettling, as if he was nervous. Even so, any person with a sound mind would be nervous to willingly visit someone who was given an assignment to practically kill them on sight..

"Don't worry, Eric... It'll only be a minute..." She said, knocking on Marcella's office door. She reached into her purse, and pulled out a small envelope that had Marcella's name written on it.

After done his business in the main building, Yinding who ride his flying silver guardian android which called PJ landed on the hospital's lobby. Before he entered the hospital building, another silvery youngster just went out and met him. He bowed in respect and Yinding greeted him so gently, "Relax! Well, how's your conditions, Ginban?" The youngster who called Ginban responded him, "I am fully well now. This is my last checking up here. Now I am back to my prime condition so well, Sir." "Just call me Yinding! No need any formality! Beside, let's celebrate your return to your best shape!", Yinding smiled to him. "There's no need to celebrate at all, Yinding. Any orders for me?" "Don't be like that, Ginban-sama! At least let our chief treat us! I'd started to starving out after flying up. Beside this hospital, there's a best canteen near the company's gas station here.", the silvery guardian android responded. "You heard him, Ginban. PJ also concern about you. It's not very wise if go for battle with empty stomach, is it? Come on, let's go! This is my first order to you." Ginban who never have any smile on his face then nodded down, "As you wish."
After PJ refilled his fuel with the best gasoline, he stood near the canteen door, shutted down for a second and rebooted before standing guard. Yinding and Ginban also have their lunch meals. "Your rotten luck made you became the first "casualty" when your marine squad just landing on Spain's ground after navy-air force on your side performed the air-raid. Got hit by a shrapnel even before firing your gun, right? Well, since the Tekken Naval Force has gone, you lost your chain of command although you're still a Tekken Force member. Then, what will you do now?", Yinding asked Ginban with gentle but very serious tone. Ginban answered his boss with no expression on his face, "I have no clue yet. Practically, I lost my career except if I request for transfered to the army or the mercenary force. But you know, I am not interested with the Tekken Force anymore. Hmph! No one would intended to hired a mutant like me to any normal application either." "Mutant? What do you mean? Did you undergo their weird experiments as well?" "No, nothing. I just babbling out. That's just my personal matters. Please no need to mind me." "Very well. No need to left the Tekken Force for now. I leave PJ with you. He is your parter from now on. Just wait my orders. I will contact you by his communicator." "Yes, Sir!". Then they finished their meal and all of the three left the hospital area whilst Yinding took separated way.

Elise received a phone call from her doctor that she needed to go in for another ultrasound immediately. She scheduled her appointment for later. Elise was worried about it, and thankfully Lei and Shun both were going with her this time.
"I'm a little scared..." Elise admitted.
"Why?" Lei asked Elise.
"The doctor said that I needed another ultrasound..."
"That's bad... Because...?"
"Wulong, what if our baby is sick?"
"Tch. That's not possible!"
"Remember what happened last time? The babies WERE NOT OKAY!"
Lei grinned sheepishly. "You ma'am... Do have a point... Just trust me, okay? There's nothing wrong with our baby." Lei held her abdomen. "He's going to be fine."
"He? You think we're having a boy?"
"Well, according to the calendar... If my calculations are correct... You're having a boy..." Lei said.
He wasn't going to tell Elise how he knows that the baby is fine. Not like she'd believe him, anyway! And it wasn't really important.
Elise checked in the waiting room and sat down as Lei decided to keep Shun busy by telling him about the Chinese calendar that is used to predict the baby's sex.
