Li-Mei shook her head at the candy. "Baba said not to accept food from strangers."
"It's okay, Li-Mei. I trust her. You can have the candy."
"Yay!" Li-Mei jumped as she took the treat and ate it as she sat back down on the couch to finish her show.
"Greetings, Sire. I am Shery Hsu from Jakarta, Indonesia. It's an honor for me to meet the world's greatest cop like you. Nice to meet you, Sire."
Lei bowed as he smiled. "Of course. Thanks, Miss Hsu. I am very honored to meet you as well. If you recognize me then that means I might need to be a little more discreet." He chuckled softly.
Zakk looked on in confusion.
"Where's your girlfriend?" Steve asked.
Lei stood up to his full- height. "Honey! It's safe... You can come out now."
"Shhhh! Do you want to wake up baby Felix?" Elise's voice could be heard.
"You're the one shouting!"
Eventually, Elise appeared. She sees the house guests and just smiled awkwardly.
Lei turned his attention to Shery. "So, I didn't think people have heard of me... How did you know who I am?" Lei asked lowering one eyebrow as he had a half-smile. "All you did was take one look at me, and you knew? So people tell stories about my lovely ebony locks?"
"So, Dr. Kristovitch... How are you doing?"
"Just fine. Thanks for asking. I have been working, trying to help Wulong in his case."
"Did you two just have a baby?" Zakk blurted.

"So, I didn't think people have heard of me... How did you know who I am?" "All you did was take one look at me, and you knew? So people tell stories about my lovely ebony locks?" Shery still smile so sweet and bowed to him. "By fully respect, Sire. From your always-steady to 'knocking' any guest who knocked your door until your lecturing-words to your little girl before, then it was enough proof that you were more famous than you ever think, Chief-Superintendent Lei Wu Long. I am really understand it so well."

Lei salutes. It's not very often people refer to him by his professional title. And do so with such respect. Of course he's quite famous.
Elise was surprised that Lei even had that title. She thought he was just a lowly detective... He never told her he was such a high-ranking officer... He never even specified what he did. She was even more impressed with this man.
"Call me paranoid, but I have seen it happen to several of my partners and colleagues in the past." Lei said this flatly in a "as a matter of fact" tone with no hint of grief or sadness in his voice. "So yeah, better safe than sorry!"
When Zakk asked the couple if they had a baby, Lei had an embarrassed expression as his face went red, looking down and avoiding eye contact as he placed his hand on the back of his head.
"Um... Well... No." Elise finally said.
"No?" Zakk asked.
"Look, Wanrei, we found an abandoned child and Elise and I both are trying to find his father." Lei finally said, facing his son.
"Yes. By combining my access and knowledge of genetics, and Wulong's amazing detective abilities..."
"We'll be cracking the case pretty soon."
"How romantic." Said Steve.
"Is that even possible? To have a civilian, let alone your girlfriend, assist you on the case?"
Lei nods. "We keep things very professional. Plus, Elise shouldn't be in any danger."
"Interesting. Any idea?" Steve liked hearing Lei's detective explanation.
Lei shrugged. "Probably a young woman, an expat more likely, wasn't ready for kids. She wasn't on drugs since Felix tested negative on methaphetamines, opium, heroin, cocaine, pcp, acid, and narcotics. Not even an epidural was used."
"And I think the mother was forced to give birth."
"Like she may have been kidnapped, and they maybe forced her into labor in order to steal her placenta. The mother is probably dead." Lei didn't bother censoring anything in front of his daughter. Li-Mei wasn't paying attention and she never understood anything. She never really eavesdrop.
"I see... I hope you two figure it out." Steve said.
Zakk was a little bit jealous of his father. He had so many more interesting cases and winds up in more interesting situations that makes for a good blockbuster movie. But hopefully, he'll get there. Lei being famous didn't help either and of course nobody realizes that the two are related. Nina still hasn't figured out that they were related.
"How's the William's murder case going for you?" Lei, sensing his son's jealousy turned to him. "Any luck finding Lian?"
"I know for sure that Madison has her on the ship... I just can't get in until the tournament because my girlfriend now works for her. And I pissed her off and now I can't get a warrant! I can't do s_"
"MACGRUBER!!!" Lei shouted as he struck a pose, censoring his son's curse word in front of Li-Mei. Although she never eavesdrop, he didn't want her to curse.

"Call me paranoid, but I have seen it happen to several of my partners and colleagues in the past." "So yeah, better safe than sorry!" "That's why I am really understand it so well. You are so famous those made any people felt safe only by your name, and yet made any most powerful criminal people or organization in the world trembled in fear when someone just referred your name. So no wonder if your relatives were often under the threat from the bad guys." Shery listened about the entire police story's quest for finding the baby's parents until everyone there silenced after 'macgruber' shout. "So, Dr. Kristovitch... How are you doing?" Shery now knew the red haired woman behind the supercop was the one who she seek. She hope her patient would be had any fruitition since she was 'well protected' by the world's strongest policeman, so Shery must faced her guardian first. Shery quickly used the silenced moment and bowed with respect towards her. "Greetings. I am Shery Hsu from Jakarta, Indonesia. I have interest about any information or story towards the Mishima Zaibatsu. And by the several (Zakk's) informations, you used to worked on Mishima Zaibatsu before. So, perhaps you may give me some info about their scientific story, Doctor."

Li-Mei had ran into her room at this point as she was done watching TV and now she wanted to play with her toys. For that, Lei was glad.
"Greetings. I am Shery Hsu from Jakarta, Indonesia. I have interest about any information or story towards the Mishima Zaibatsu. And by the several (Zakk's) informations, you used to worked on Mishima Zaibatsu before. So, perhaps you may give me some info about their scientific story, Doctor."
Elise sat down on the sofa as Lei immediately took a seat next to her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. Steve just stood up as Zakk did the same.
"...Shery... Hsu... Um... I knew a Dr. Hsu one time but he is dead now. I believe he and his wife, Dr. Lam... They were from Indonesia... And well, um... she died, too." Elise said this bluntly. "If you had a relation to them I am sorry for your loss."
Lei gave Alise a "that was dumb" look.
"What Wulong? What was I supposed to do?"
"Not mention that they died."

"...Shery... Hsu... Um... I knew a Dr. Hsu one time but he is dead now. I believe he and his wife, Dr. Lam... They were from Indonesia... And well, um... she died, too." Elise said this bluntly. "If you had a relation to them I am sorry for your loss. Suddenly, Shery's 'changed'. She looked still maintained her composures as she stood between Steve and Zakk, but now with her fists clenched. "I see...then at least, please tell me where are their graves!" Her feels now between too anger and too sadness which has been consumed her. Shery lost her entire expressions even she still maintained her manners. Her eyes became so cold but still very sharply looked at Elise's eyes. Shery knew, if her parents died, there's no doubt, they were killed by Heihachi Mishima himself, but now the man has already dead. Shery's sentences before wasn't her question, but was her toneless command for got the answer. Wrong words for her might made someone killed. Then Shery said to Steve with the blunt words. "I lied to you before. My real 'mission' is to find and take my parents back. Nothing can be learn from Mishima Zaibatsu except illegal works, extortions, and weapon tradings. They became rich by robbing other people, that's how they live.' Then Shery looked at Elise again and 'command' her with her blunt words. "Tell - me - where - are - their - graves!"

Lei knew that this was going to happen. This is why Elise is the worst person to talk to about people dying. Lei could sense her violent emotions. Somebody had to calm her down. Lei honestly didn't think Elise could handle giving the bad news to people. Lei could only imagine what she would tell Fulong if he died. She would probably be very blunt and just say, "Sorry for your loss. Wulong was shot and killed by an assassin."
"They were buried back in their home. I can take you there if you wish... I need some reflecting time, myself." Elise said.
Lei sighed with relief.
I think I remember those scientists... Steve thought.
So Shery's parents were scientists. Did they work with the Devil Gene like Dr. Kristovitch and Dr. O'Donoghue did.

"So, they were buried in the backyard like animal corpses. Just give me their 'home' address! I will contact a local undertaker, cremate them, and spread their ashes to the nearest shore! After that, my 'mission' will be over."
Then Shery said to Lei.
"Chief Lei, Sorry for disturbed you. You are so famous on the entire Asia regions. I knew your loss when your very young age. You currently on the duty on Heihachi Mishima. Too bad your case has been closed by his death. I knew it since your late father also took the same case about Mishima and Hachijo clan's genocides by Heihachi because my closest childhood friend's mother was connected to his case. Chief Lei, thank you for your time."
Last, Shery said to Zakk.
"Detective Lei Wan Rei, I will go to take care of my parents alone. No need any report or any autopsy crap since it were useless and only wasting time and resources, because your Papa's girlfriend knew well how Heihachi killed them. And I don't need their dead certificate." After silenced a while, still with her blunt words and unexpression face, she said to Zakk and Steve, "Thanks for everything! My parents will be 'fine'. I hope both of you didn't lost in your first match. And no need to find me. I won't going back to the Shibuya Hotel. O yes, about someone who named Lian, I will help as I can. If needed, I will bring her to you even only her head. You can keep the bounty later, Detective Lei."
After got the 'address', Shery who stand on the door faced everyone there and bowed with respect.
"Thank you for everything and farewell. I will not return again."

Elise waved her hands. Their graves were someplace addressed in Indonesia, "No, no, no! I mean they are back in Indonesia. In a small graveyard... I can take you there. I would like to accompany you. I have a few words to say to them as we spread the ashes together."
"But who's going to take care of Felix? I have a job!"
"I shall take him with me."
"A newborn baby on a plane, bad idea."
"I will figure something out."
When Shery told Lei that she knows all about his family and his connection to the Mishima Zaibatsu, Lei couldn't help but smile.
"So that's how you know who I am! I thought it was the hair." Lei muttered. "I should probably get a haircut. What do you think, love? Should I cut my hair and try out a new style?" He turns to Elise.
She patted his cheeks as Zakk groaned, feeling uncomfortable with the couple's public display of affection.
"Whatever you decide, you are still a very gorgeous man to me. Just don't do anything to your face."
"Well, what if I start aging and develop more wrinkles than I already have?"
"Still a gorgeous man."
Lei smiled as Zakk made retching noises.
Then it was Zakk's turn to listen to Shery. He nods, smiling, but he was sad that Shery was leaving.
"Thanks. And I suppose that we will see each other soon. Also... I need Lian alive, please. Otherwise I can't shut down the Triads."
As the woman got up, Elise pushed Lei to the side.
"Wait! Shery, please, may I accompany you?" Elise asked.

I have a few words to say to them as we spread the ashes together." Elise words made Shery so suspicious. Shery didn't said any words. "So that's how you know who I am! I thought it was the hair." "Yes. Your hair also made you so famous, Chief Superintendent Lei. That was undeniedable, but when your age younger only. Now it didn't. So please change your haircut, Chief Lei..." "Thanks. And I suppose that we will see each other soon. Also... I need Lian alive, please. Otherwise I can't shut down the Triads." "Then no problem if I made her lost her limbs. At least she still alive later!" "Wait! Shery, please, may I accompany you?" "Huh? What for? Ah, yes! You had helped me by your worthy information and address before, so I feel you need something from me in return. Fine! Be my guest!" Shery and Elise walked out together.

Before anyone could protest, Lei reached out, asking Elise, "Did you produce enough milk for the baby?"
But his question wasn't answered as Elise was already outside. Lei sighed checking the fridge to see that there are five bottles of milk.
Her tits were a bit swollen this morning... Lei thought to himself.
--------
Huh? What for? Ah, yes! You had helped me by your worthy information and address before, so I feel you need something from me in return. Fine! Be my guest!"
"They were my friends, you know... It is not just you who lost them. I have lost a lot of people in my life, too."

"Oh, really? By your words before, they didn't have any roles of your friends at all. Just admit it, Mam. Did they have any debt to you? How much? I will try to pay them to you, since I hate they owe something. Or anything you need from me? Just tell me! I will help in return."
Shery sweet smiles returned but now with sinister expression.

Elise shook her head.
"They owe me nothing. They helped me see my clone as a scared, frightened girl. Not as a test subject. And they made me forget that I was alone."
Elise thought about her friends and colleagues that all died at the Zaibatsu. She is one of the few survivors. Heihachi had mercy on her and fired her instead of killing her.
"But I am most thankful to have met you and your parents."

Elise nods. "It's true. They were involved in the Devil Gene experiments. I first met them when I was splicing the Devil Cells from Kazuya's remains... And placed them on to my clone..."
Elise shook her head. "...No, my daughter. I am a horrible mother, am I not? When I was young, I used to reject the idea of dating and getting married seeing as it was a waste of time. I never really had a real relationship until I was 36. I dated a woman and married her, Tatsuno Haruka. The relationship made me realize what I missed out on during my good years..."
Elise paused to do some reflecting. "And because I extracted my egg cells in order to create Katya, I was unable to have kids and Haruka divorced me. Then I get fired, Katya gets taken away..."
Elise was crossing her arms. She was looking away as she shook. "I become a drunkard for three years and became a whore... Whenever I was low on cash... I used to do sexual favors for money or alcohol. Then I eventually got help. When I started dating Wulong, things were finally looking up for me until... I suddenly get pregnant. I had no idea that it was possible for me to get pregnant. I quit my job and follow Wulong to Hong-Kong."
Elise then smiled. "So reckless? I quit my job just so I can be with the man I love. That is stupid, is it not?"
Her expression then went blank. "Then yesterday, I miscarried. Wulong and I both are trying to recover from this. He is hurting inside as much as I am. We later find a newborn baby to take care of. It is not permanent. I want a family with Wulong. But I am unable to have kids naturally... I want my own biological kids, but it seems like I never will... All because I was prideful and arrogant and assumed that I was better than everyone. 26-year-old me would hate to see what I have become. A sad, frail old woman blindly in love. That's exactly what I wanted to avoid. And I regret not experiencing this happiness sooner. Word of advice, Shery. Follow your heart. And I am sorry you had to listen to this old woman speak. If it weren't for your parents, I doubt Wulong and I would have ever met. For that, I am thankful and I am the one who is in your debt. Listen, if there is anything you need from me, information or just a place to stay, I will be there."
Elise then gave Shery her number, smiling at the girl warmly.
"Also..." She started whispering. "If Wulong is Chief Superintendent... then why does he still do things like directing traffic and going on patrol?"
Also did this mean that Lei was really rich? She was going to ask him that later, in private. Not that Elise was a gold digger or anything. She wanted to know what kind of lifestyle they would be living. Paycheck to paycheck or just living very comfortably.
