Kitty, Kai, Mei and unconscious Lily on Mei's back arrived at the Safe House, which meant they were very close to the White House. They stood on a slightly higher rise, giving them a perfect view of the entire city.
They looked into the distance, but all they could see was a crowd gathered around the White House.
"What's going on over there?" Kitty thought, staring at the group in the distance.
Human and Neko citizens stood with banners and placards, protesting food poisoning.
"I expect they'll tear us apart, piece by piece, if we go there…" Kai said, activating his Core for reading emotions; all he could see was hatred and anger.
Suddenly something rustled behind them in the bushes.
Everyone turned and looked toward the shrubbery. Aki stepped out. "My master… I'm sorry for scaring you," he said, dropping to his knees. "Is that your sister you went to rescue?" he asked, looking at Mei.
