"Actually we might..." Kite muttered to himself as he glimpsed at a small flash drive that he kept safely in his pocket,"The point here is that we have an issue. The staff is too divided in interest to knock anything out..."
"Let's be blunt. We can't keep just avoiding the issue of the sons or Arumon. I think we need some outside of the staff help on this one."
Kite picked up his cell phone and dialed the operator,"Give me the number for Loal Kateran."
The operator told him the number which he quickly dialed,"Come on, pick up your phone..."

"Jordan, are you sure about this? We don't even know if he'd be willing to help. He's got his own set of issues when it comes to the Sons, and he's already failed to stop Arumon before."
The ringtone in the speaker of Jordan's phone soon clicked in response; someone had picked up the phone. However, it was not Loal who responded. "Hello?" asked a young woman's voice, a bit tentatively.

"Speaker phone, Mr. Stalis," John said, "this involves all of us."

Before returning the call, kite said,"You know, we'll just have to see."
"Alasea, it's Kite, i'm here with John and Sarah, Is Loal around?" Kite asked as he turned on speakerphone and placed his phone on one of the room's tables.

"... this isn't Alasea. Why do you want to talk to Loal?" the woman asked, suspicion in her words.

"Then who the hell is this? My name is Jordan Stalis, a major technological disaster could happen if I don't get to talk to him," Kite said somewhat losing his cool.

"This is his sister, Mesia," the girl said. "Is this about that game he plays?"

"Yes, unfortunately, Listen, I really need to get through to him, is he around or do I need to call his cell?" Kite asked.

"This is his cell," Mesia said, "He, um, took Alasea out to dinner about a half hour ago. And considering how he was dressed, you'll probably be lucky if you hear from him before noon tomorrow."
Sarah sighed, barely discernible. "Great."

"Out of curiosity what restaurant?" Kite asked hatching an unfortunately necessary scheme.

"I don't know," Mesia said, exasperatedly. "Chances are its fancy, judging from his suit and the amount of money he's been saving up. Look, just leave him alone, okay? He has enough to deal with already. He wants to be alone with his girlfriend, and he deserves to have that much."
Sarah winced when the girl's tone turned acidic. "Especially considering what your game did to him before." And with that, the line went dead.
"Well, that could've gone better," the Nintendo employee muttered, shaking her head. "We now know where we stand with that family."

"Even if it's not now, he'll be dragged into this eventually." Ven muttered, finally entering the conversation again.
"I mean, you figure he went after me, a member of the staff with nothing really in common with him, apart from our weapons....but...he was the one who broke Arumon's chains. That program's lacky will be after him soon, I guess..." The teenager rubber his hair furiosly, before crashing his head agsint his pillow.
"As a matter of fact, it wouldn't be too far of a stretch to assume that we're all on Arumon's hit list right now...and because of that, it's also safe to assume he has more humans at his disposal than just that one man."

"Exactly," John said plainly. Then, reaching into his side pockets he withdrew two small black pistols, "And that is why I want you two to carry these." John handed one to Jordan and one to Sarah. "Go to a firing range if you've never used one before. Inside the system, we may be equal ranked, but outside I think I have near double the age of at least Mr. Stalis." John sighed and rubbed his eyes, "Ven, unfortunately you're too young to legally have a gun, so I think it would be best if you remained under the cover of being dead. I'll contact the officials, get you a decent coverup. Jordan, you seem to trust Kateran the best... Try and make contact with him as soon as possible. Alert his family if you must to keep him safe. Sarah, make contact with Ven's family please and see if you can do something about their security."
John paused and looked each staff member in the eye with a look of tired concern, "Ven... just get some rest. Does anyone have a problem with all of this?" John did indeed believe that this would be the best course of action, until they could meet Gahm at least.

"Of course I have a problem!" The teenager sprung up from his bed, actually standing up for the first time since entering the hospital. It was obvious his legs were a bit unsteady, but he held his ground as he continued to speak.
"This guy shot me! You expect me to sit here and do nothing about that?!" Ven crossed his arms. "There's other things you can get me to do, but laying in bed isn't one of 'em."

"Yes, Ven. You've been shot, and that's exactly why you need to rest for now at least... There are things that can be done merely from bed. When you've been rested at least one day, we can plug you back into Ymaggion. Until then, too much excitements both neural and physical could easily put you back into a tragic condition. Understood?" John put much force onto the last word while placed a firm hand on the teen's shoulder, directing him back into bed.
