Saint Luis are apparently the kidnappers. What will Dark Umbrella do now? What will Fiona, Sophie, Siegfried and Rosika do?
Sophie: "That reminds me… Lina and Violet are in San Marin."
Fiona: "Yes."
Rosika: "Right."
Siegfried: "I wonder if they found anything?"
Sophie: "How are they probably proceeding?"
(Meanwhile)
Violet: "hmmm….San Marin is really huge."
Lina: "Yes…"
Violet: "So we have to gather information here."
Lina: "Mm…that's right."
(Funk!)
Lina: "Hmm."
Fiona: "Hello, can you hear me… Lina… Violet?"
Lina: "Oh Fiona… yes, we can hear you."
Violet: "Anything new?"
Fiona: "Yes….we found out who the kidnappers are."
Sophie: "Saint Luis….it can only be them…"
Fiona: "But we still need more information….you are in San Marin?"
Lina: "Yes."
Fiona: "Perfect….I want you to… I'll send you this photo soon via owl."
Violet: "Question… why do we use owls when… when our rivals are called owls?"
Fiona: "Simple….because owls… are owls and the Owl is an organization… also owls are better than crows when it comes to transmitting messages… and Dark Umbrella used owls long before the owls called themselves owls. They were originally called CP3…"
Violet: "ohhhh….why did they change the name?"
Fiona: "No idea… that's not important Violet."
Violet: "Ok… ok….when will the owl come?"
Owl: "woooo."
Violet: "Ohh."
Lina: "So fast?"
Fiona: "It has a letter I sent you, there's a photo inside."
Lina: "Ok."
She took it. The owl flew away.
Fiona: "By the way… we also use Violet as crows… but for other things… we also use cats…"
Violet: "Ok… ok… got it."
They opened the photo.
Violet: "Ugh..ghh."
Lina: "Oh my god…"
Fiona: "These are the photos of the guards who were murdered."
Violet: "Ughh."
Lina: "Hmm."
Fiona: "I want you to go to the police station… and ask about similar cases….San Marin is a city of nobles… so if there are such cases… then there."
Lina: "Ok."
Violet: "Ok."
Fiona: "Alright… then let's continue, take care of yourselves, yes?"
Violet: "Yep."
Lina: "Sure… you too."
(She hung up)
Violet: "hmm….ugh… just seeing those photos makes me lose my appetite… I don't feel like eating anything today."
Lina: "Mm."
She looked at the photo.
Lina: "Alright then… let's go to the police station."
They set off.
Lina: "Hmm….yeah… so the city is apparently really full of nobles."
Violet: "No wonder Fiona thinks cases like this happened here… she's really smart."
Lina: "I think… it's because she's one of the crows."
Violet: "Ahhh… thinking is too complicated for me sometimes….I'm only good at puzzles and lockpicking and sneaking…"
Lina: "…You were also a thief once."
Violet: "Shhhhh….if someone hears that."
Lina: "Hmm."
They entered the train…
Violet: "Um…"
Lina: "Hmm… strange… the nobles here are a bit different."
Violet: "Yeah….they… don't seem so arrogant."
Lina: "Mm."
Violet: "What a miracle… that I get to see that… No puedo creerlo. (I can't believe it)"
Lina: "You also speak Villicia language."
Violet: "Hehe….it's easy for me… well in the Basque kingdom we speak Basque, but I still know other languages… Frankish and Prussian as well as Villician…"
Lina: "Oh."
The train continued.
Lina: "What do you think… will we find something?"
Violet: "I hope so….in Demari I didn't really do much, Sophie and Fiona did most of the work… I want to do something too."
Lina: "Yes….in Dnilpo I also barely did anything… so I hope I can accomplish a lot."
They left the train when the time came.
Violet: "So….according to the map the police station should be… here… oh… there it is."
Lina: "Ohh."
They went inside.
(Meanwhile)

Bbbbbb
Melissa: "mmmm… mmmm… nmmmmmmm…"
(Back to Violet and Lina)
Police officer: "Yes… what can I do for you?"
Lina: "Hello, we are from Dark Umbrella… we want to ask you something."
Police officer: "Hmm… ok."
He looked at their bandages.
Lina: "Have you had cases where something like this photo was found?"
Police officer: "Ughh… my goodness… uh… hmm… yes… yes… actually…"
Lina: "Ugh… really?"
Violet: "When… where?"
Police officer: "About a month ago… a woman was found dead in a very similar way… exactly in that brutal manner."
Lina: "Hmm… how about… can you give us more information? Was she a noble?"
Police officer: "Yes… indeed… Madam Xavier… that was her name… age 35… was murdered… if I remember correctly… cause of death… stab to the forehead."
Lina: "Oh."
Violet: "Ighhhh… that's… brutal…"
Police officer: "It gets worse… we don't just have a photo… but a video… people recorded it."
Violet: "Ohh…"
Lina: "Really… can you give it to us?"
Police officer: "Well… yes… yes of course, since you are Dark Umbrella… I just need your cards first, bandages alone are not enough proof of membership."
They showed their IDs.
Police officer: "Lina Adelheid… age 23… Violet Miranda… age 19… oh… you had your birthday recently… happy birthday."
Violet: "Huh?… oh right… hehe… I forgot again… thank you."
Lina: "(sweat)… you forgot your birthday."
Violet: "Get used to it, I'm very forgetful… I once forgot to swallow my food…"
Lina: "(sweat)… ok… ok… thank you for your help."
Police officer: "Sure."
They left.
Violet: "Ahh… that's why Sophie and Fiona congratulated me… and Rosika smiled at me and wished me happy birthday… I thought it was because I finally finished my pudding."
Lina: "Violet… you're sometimes really… creepy."
Violet: "Hmm… should we watch the video?"
Lina: "Hmm… if then I'll watch it alone without you… you can't handle it. I was a soldier… I've seen dead people many times."
Violet: "Lina… I saw my father's head roll in front of my eyes… for a crime he didn't even commit… which the police later confirmed…"
Lina: "Ok… I suggest we watch it later together with Sophie, Fiona, Rosika, Siegfried and the others… how about that?"
Violet: "Good idea."
(Meanwhile)
Sophie: "Hmm."
Fiona: "(cough)… mm."
Rosika: "Hahh."
Siegfried: "I wonder if they found something…"
Fiona: "Just wait."
(Funk)
Fiona: "Huh?"
Sophie: "Huh?"
Siegfried: "Ugh."
Rosika: "Hmm?"
Lina: "Hello Fiona… Sophie… Siegfried or Rosika, can anyone hear me?"
Fiona: "Hello Lina… Violet… did you find anything?"
Lina: "Yes… very important… there was actually a very similar case recently… and they even filmed it."
They looked at each other.
Sophie: "Filmed?"
Fiona: "Hmm… clear message, huh."
Siegfried: "Ighh… I don't know if I want to watch it… really."
Rosika: "Sometimes I think being blind isn't so bad."
Fiona: "(sweat)… you two… focus… ok… good work then."
Sophie: "Then come back… we'll watch it together…"
Lina: "Ok."
Violet: "See you soon."
Fiona: "See you."
Siegfried: "Hmm."
Rosika: "So we still have about an hour to wait?"
Sophie: "Yes."
Fiona: "Hahhh… I'll just drink water now… if I watch that video I'll throw it back up."
She drank water.
Rosika: "I want a sip too please."
Fiona: "(gulp)… mm… here."
Rosika: "Thanks."
She drank a sip.
Siegfried: "Can I get a sip?"
Sophie: "Get your own… Fiona and Rosika already drank from that…"
Rosika: "Hey… don't be so strict with him… here."
Siegfried: "Thanks."
He drank a sip.
Fiona: "Sophie… come here for a second."
Sophie: "Hmm?"
She followed her.
Fiona: "Listen… jokes are fine… but we should probably stop a bit."
Sophie: "Hmm?"
Fiona: "With Siegfried… he did great work and is kind to us… he respects everyone and treats Lina well… Rosika also gets along with him now…"
Sophie: "Ohh… sorry, did I go too far again?"
Fiona: "Hehe no it's fine, jokes are fine… but not always… otherwise it feels like… bullying."
Sophie: "…oh… you're right. By the way… your hair is a bit wet."
Fiona: "Oh damn… I drank too fast."
Sophie: "You always drink so fast… like back in school…"
(Memory)
Fiona: "(gulp gulp)"
Meliodas: "breathe Fiona breathe…"
(End of memory)
Fiona: "(sweat)… you still remember that?"
Sophie: "Clearly."
Fiona: "Hahh…"
They went back.
Siegfried: "Hmm."
Rosika: "Hmm?"
Sophie: "So… we wait… Siegfried give me the bottle."
Siegfried: "I drank from it outside…"
Sophie: "No problem."
Siegfried: "Here."
He gave it to her and she drank.
Sophie: "Hahhh… still… the saliva of a colleague."
Fiona facepalmed.
Fiona: "(sweat)… hahh… man… you really have to exaggerate."
Sophie: "Huh?"
(One hour later)
Sophie: "(snore)"
Fiona: "(zzz)"
Rosika: "mmm… (zzz)"
Siegfried: "…is this boring… they are so late…"
Knock knock
Siegfried: "Oh…"
Sophie: "Huh… what… no I don't have a stick up my ass… ohh."
Fiona: "(sweat)… what did you dream again?"
Rosika: "mmm… are they back?"
Siegfried: "Hm."
He opened the door.
Lina: "Hey."
Violet: "We're back… hehe."
Siegfried: "Why did you take so long?"
Lina: "Train delay."
Violet: "No… we just bought a water bottle and drank… to prepare ourselves."
Siegfried: "(sweat)… it's really creepy that six people had the same idea… anyway."
Fiona: "Give me the video…"
Lina: "Here."
Fiona: "Thank you."
She went to the TV and turned it on and played the tape.
Sophie: "Oh no."
They stood in front of the TV.
Sophie: "ugh… it's starting."
Fiona: "hmm."
TV: "Diet… 1… 2… 3… here… it's running… the noble… whore… doesn't realize… these are her last hours…"
Sophie: "Someone is talking."
Fiona: "ugh… these people are monsters."
Rosika: "great… being blind didn't help… I can hear what they say."
Siegfried: "hmmm."
Ms Xavier: "urk!"
TV: "Here she will have her last seconds!"
They stabbed her in the forehead. She… moved… as if her brain was actually trying to resist it.
Sophie: "ugh."
Fiona: "hmm."
Violet: "bbbbbb."
Lina: "hmmm."
Rosika: "ighhhh."
TV: "Here you can see how she still tries… to resist… hehe… her brain probably still doesn't understand… now she falls down… and moves her arms as if she's trying to push something away…"
(Ding!)
The TV was turned off.
Sophie: "bbmm?"
Fiona: "Enough… of that… that's horrible… I'm getting a headache."
She walked to the bathroom.
Fiona: "(sigh)… mm"
Sophie: "…ighh… even Fiona is reacting like that…"
Siegfried: "And she has the most experience among us… bbbb… (vomits)"
Siegfried quickly went to the bathroom.
Rosika: "mmm…"
Rosika was slightly shaking.
Sophie: "Hahh… how can people do something like that…"
Sophie gently stroked Rosika's head to calm her.
Fiona: "mm… (cough)… so… Rosika… Siegfried… Violet, you should go… we have to continue the video… but it might be too much for you."
Violet: "I can stay."
Fiona: "You don't have to… even experienced detectives need years in Dark Umbrella to get used to this."
Rosika: "…mmm… I'll stay."
Siegfried: "Yeah… that part is probably already over."
Lina: "No… it's about them dismembering her next…"
Siegfried: "What?"
Rosika: "ugh… mm…"
Lina: "hmm."
Fiona: "Alright… we have to watch it, it might be important information… nobody is forced… whoever wants to stay stays… whoever wants to leave leaves… and don't complain afterwards…"
Sophie: "Yes… once you decide, it's final."
Violet: "I'll stay."
Lina: "Me too."
Siegfried: "Yeah me too."
Rosika: "me as well…"
Fiona: "good."
She turned it back on.
(A few minutes later)
Sophie: mm… how long does this damn video go on…"
Fiona: "It's longer than expected."
Violet: "mmm…"
Siegfried: "hmmm… wait… stop… that guy just passed… there's a symbol on his back."
Fiona: "Yes I see it too… but not clearly enough…"
She fast-forwarded a bit.
Sophie: "there… that symbol… clearly… Saint Luis."
Fiona: "We found them… those sick bastards… by the way… everyone… no mercy against them… kill them if they don't surrender… I don't care… we are not heroes… we kill in our job… tomorrow we go."
Sophie: "Why not today?"
Fiona looked at Sophie and nodded toward Siegfried, Violet and Rosika.
Fiona: "…they saw something that even shocked us… Rosika… you sleep in my room tonight… Violet you sleep with Sophie… Siegfried… you… uh… (sweat)… you sleep in the same room as Meliodas… you need someone nearby."
Violet: "I… I'm not a child."
Fiona: "It's not about that… Violet… seeing something like this can cause trauma… I'm speaking from experience… I didn't have anyone… but you do…"
Rosika: "…mm… ok."
Sophie: "Come here Violet…"
Siegfried: "…mm…"
Lina: "Hmm…"
(Some minutes later)
Rosika: "mm."
Fiona: "Are you okay?"
She gently stroked her shoulder.
Rosika: "…I didn't think… other humans could do something like this."
Fiona: "Trust me… the more I learned about humans… the less I began to trust them…"
Bob: "bbb."
Fiona: "Hmm… Bob seems tired…"
She took off her coat and placed it on the table.
Rosika: "…Fiona… why did you split us up… I mean like this… me in your room, Violet with Sophie, and Siegfried in Meliodas' room… wait Meliodas isn't here… Lina is there though…"
Fiona: "…well… his cat and dog are there… to your question Rosika… why I wanted you in my room, Violet with Sophie, and Siegfried in Meliodas' room… you experienced something brutal… even I needed a few seconds to continue… and I've worked more than 8 years in Dark Umbrella…"
Rosika: "hmmm… I have to say… I'm actually a bit scared… that was too much for me."
Fiona: "That's okay…"
She sat next to Rosika.
Rosika: "mmm."
She lay down.
Fiona: "Come here…"
Rosika: "huh…"
Fiona: "I'll hold you… don't worry."
She leaned against her shoulder.
Rosika: "mmm…"
Fiona: "It's fine… I'm here…"
(Meanwhile)
Violet: "mm."
Sophie: "hey… are you okay Violet?"
Violet: "No…"
She pressed her fingers against her own eyes slightly, wiping them.
Violet: "…I think… that was even too much for me."
Sophie: "hmm."
She stroked her shoulder and pulled her closer.
Sophie: "It's okay… it's okay… hey."
Violet: "…these people… I've never seen something like this."
Sophie: "Hmm."
She rested her head on Violet's.
Sophie: "Shhh…"
(Meanwhile)
Siegfried: "(sweat)… hhuhh…"
Cat: "meow."
Dog: "woof…"
Siegfried: "that… was unexpected… ok… better than Meliodas being in this room…"
Dog: "bbb… mm."
Cat: "meow…"
(Meanwhile)
Melissa: "…mmm…"
Saint Luis member: "Hehehe… look at her… she's totally exhausted…"
Saint Luis: "Yeah… hehe…"
(Meanwhile)
Rosika: "(zzz)… hhh… (shaking)"
Fiona: "hmm…"
Fiona gently stroked Rosika's shoulder while she slept.
Fiona: "…that was probably too much for me… I'm exhausted… what kind of people are those…"
(Meanwhile)
Violet: "(zzz)… (shaking)"
Sophie: "Even in her sleep she's shaking… she must have taken it hard."
(Meanwhile)
Siegfried: "(zzz)…"
Cat: "mmm…"
Dog: "(snore)… bbb…"
(Meanwhile)
Lina: "(zzz)… hhh… hhh…"
