Griffin sits down on the couch, staring at the ceiling. Keigo sits down next to her, closing his eyes and sighing softly. She sits up and sighs. "I'll be back. I need to check all the gates of the school," she sighs.

"I can come with you," he shrugs.

"Nah, stay with the kids," she sighs and walks out.

She walks to the front gate and looks around. She starts to walk down the street, checking the parameter of the school. She stops when she feels her ears twitching.

"Your ears really are remarkable..." a deep voice coos. She turns around and sees a man wearing a gold skull mask.

She growls as she stares at him. "Well... you aren't Maltheal, but you're clearly one of his fanboys. Did he sign your mask for ya?"

He takes off his mask, and she feels her heart stop. "You were our greatest creation, Arlis..." he whispers.

Fear fills her entire body. "No...no we...I killed you," she whispers.

"You tried... oh, did you try..." he laughs. She backs up, her ears folding down. "You were always so tame back then... and now look at you... no better than a fucking animal... tell me... does your little hero know what you've been up to? Killing his men with a smile to gain information on us? Does he know that you giggle with glee when you take a life?" he asks.

"Shut up," she snaps.

"Does he know you're a monster? I wonder if those kids would look up to you like they do if they knew you were a murder. Especially Eri... she thinks you're so cool. It would be a shame if she found out," He coos. He holds his hand out, and a spiked chair shoots out, pulling her to him. He grabs her neck tightly, pressing on her infected veins, paralyzing her body. She winces as the feeling of her arms and legs leaves.

"Poor little Ari... using that venom to make your wings last... you'd die for that stupid woman, wouldn't you?" He snaps.

"Not...before...I kill...you," she wheezes.

"You've tried once and failed, so I'm not too worried," he chuckles. He looks at her hair and smirks. "At this rate... you'll be dead in a month with all that shit in your system. But that's just like you—Nobel Arlis, dying for her friends. Unless I give you the detox... which I will if you tell me where the girl is..." he says.

"I'll...tell you..." she chokes out. He drops her body, and she gasps, trying to move her arms and legs.

He kneels and brushes one of her ears softly. "You really are cute. I think maybe, in another life, we could have been good together if you didn't try to bite my fucking nose off. So? What's the address?" He asks. She catches her breath and looks up at him.

"It's twenty-four, twenty-four, Go Fuck Yourself Lane. It's at the corner of choke on my balls avenue and you're a cunt boulevard. The house looks like your mother's ass, so you can't miss it," she smirks.

He scoffs and grabs her face. "Do you think I won't kill you? I could snap your pretty little neck right now," He growls.

"You think I'm afraid to die? Bring it on, you stupid fuck. Kill me... do it..." she snarls.

"You'd die to protect the child?" He asks.

She laughs. "I thought you were gonna kill me? You sure do talk a lot when you commit murder. As you know, I'm more of a giggle with glee kind of gal. I expected more from one of his higher-ranking dumbasses. Is that what your mask means, or are you just a festive fucker?" she says.

He clenches her face tighter. "I don't like to be disrespected. I'll give you one more chance. Where is she?" He says.

"Have you tried looking up your own ass? Or how about Endeavor's ass? Check there?" She sighs.

"I'm going to enjoy killing you," he smiles.

"Before you do... I need you to do me a favor... tell my brother... a little more to the left..." she says.

"Left?" He asks, tilting his head.

"Perfect," she nods.

A bullet goes straight through his neck, shoving his body back. He gasps and quickly puts pressure on the wound. He stomps his foot and disappears into a black hole. Snipe runs up and kneels. "You okay?" He asks.

"Can't move...my legs," she sighs.

"Come on..." he quickly picks her up and carries her back into the school.

"I got it...I got... the last one," she mumbles. He looks down and smiles, seeing her clutching a small silver flash drive.

"You're a genius, Ari..."
