Shizu was in fact not pleased with the answer that she was given. Though she appreciated his honesty towards her, she was tired of all the lies in her life. She supposed that pleased her anxiety but only slightly. When he told her that she could leave Israel, she frowned a bit. But where would she go? Her heart quivered when he told her that she was free. Freedom was something that she had only thought about back in the village and it seemed...unreal that she was free now. She honestly still didn't feel like she was. The fact that they were more than likely still being followed, only further confirmed that she was not free. She looked around, feeling slightly paranoid, as if something or someone was watching them while they waited. She shook the thought and let out a small sigh. She knew that she didn't have anywhere else to go to, she could barely function without Azrai's guidance and in all honesty, she wanted to stay around him as long as possible.<br/><br/>But she knew that couldn't happen. He was a man of many secrets that he was more than unwillingly to express with her. She was fine with that really, she was perfectly aware that she would never be able to connect with him on a deeper level. She had wanted to share a connection with someone for the longest time and she knew it would be hard for her to meet someone to possibly establish such a bond. She was certainly not a people person, nor would she probably ever be. Then wondered if she would continue to live this lonely life, would it be any different than being isolated in the village? Maybe...before they parted ways, she could learn how to communicate with people better. Though Azrai wouldn't be of much use for that subject, he was certainly not a people person either. The only reassuring fact was that she knew that Azrai wouldn't leave her until he knew she was safe, he was a gentleman like that.<br/><br/>The long vehicle pulled up in front of them and she climbed on after Azrai, she looked at how spacious it was. There were only a few people on this late night ride. She couldn't help but look at the female who had been glued to her phone. She wondered what was so fascinating to be stuck on the device like that. She was sure that she had one, she would be glued to it as well, but only because she was curious about its functions. She had briefly looked at Azrai's phone before deciding that it was evil. The way it had come to life had seriously bothered her, but she was still curious. She looked over at Azrai, though he seemed to be continuing his rest from the plane ride. She smiled a bit as he looked somewhat peaceful, despite his injuries. She averted her gaze, knowing that it was impolite to stare. She was lost in her thoughts until their stop arrived; she silently trailed behind Azrai, taking in all the scenery. Israel was certainly different than Japan, she marveled at the buildings and other things that they walked by.<br/><br/>When they arrived at what she assumed was his place of residence, she looked at him as he spoke to her. "I am perfectly fine with that," she said, trying to hide her relief. She honestly was not ready to be handed off just yet. She was still trying to get used to the idea that she was...somewhat free, for now that is. She didn't want to think about the possibility of going back into isolation. She wished she had a longer time to enjoy the feeling of being free. Maybe she was over exaggerating what exactly was going on, for all she knew, her stepfather could have pissed off the wrong people and now they wanted to give her a better life that way he would be vulnerable and powerless against them. That was a nice thought to think about but she knew it was naive of her to think about. In reality, she knew that something terrible was waiting for them, ever since she had been rescued by Azrai; she knew that this whole thing was darker than just a simple rescue mission. She desperately wanted to believe that she would truly be free and that Azrai would continue to teach her about the world, though that was simply wishful thinking on her behalf. They both knew that there was only even more danger down the road.<br/><br/>------<br/><br/>He had to be missing something.<br/><br/>For the last ten hours, he had been monitoring every little thing that they had been doing. Nothing suspicious had been happening and it didn't sit well with him. Not one bit. He was on the edge and he blamed all the coffee that he had drank today. When he received the call from Lucian that he had safely dropped Azrai and the objective off, he was relieved. But that quickly changed as Lucian even mentioned that they weren't even followed at all during that eight hour flight. Elias had monitored all the cameras of the hotel and the airport. He listened in on the airline communications and checked all satellite images. Nothing with the tiniest bit of suspicion had ringed an alarm to him. It was all too easy, too quiet. It was unsettling. He didn't want to believe that they were finished, even though it seemed like they were. Had they successfully managed to save the girl? Had she really been worth all this trouble? Apparently to Azrai, she was and he trusted in Azrai's intuition, even if he was a bit weary at times.<br/><br/>He cursed a bit as he received a message from the man on his thoughts. Even though he was still slightly annoyed with him, he knew that it wasn't really that big of a deal. Elias only got mad because he cared and for the fact that Azrai was not the one who normally handled rescue or kidnapping missions. Ivan was probably the one who should have accepted the mission, but Azrai had instead. Ivan had been weary at the lack of information that was given and declined without hesitation. He had done this procedure many times before, aside from being a hit man. They had discussed, argued, about his decision for the longest time before they decided it would be a new opening for more ways of income. The mission was supposed to be simple and done within the matter of a few days. Then shit hit the fan and now they were all high strung and angry with one another. All feelings aside, they would come together to work with another as a good team should.<br/><br/>'I'll be on the lookout though nothing has been spotted. I don't like this one bit, so be vigilant as well. You get killed and I swear I will resurrect yer ass and kill you myself.'<br/><br/>Elias could be a bleeding heart sometimes with his comrades. He had entered the business not wanting to make friends but to make a damn good income. It seemed that he got more than he had wanted, which was alright with him. He received another message, though it was from Ivan and he let out a small sigh. It seemed that he was done with cleaning up after Azrai and was heading back home. He quickly shot him an update of the status of all that happened before he leaned back in his seat. He rubbed his eyes, knowing that it would probably be best if he went to sleep as well. It was already midday where he was at but that didn't mean he couldn't sleep. With this lifestyle, he could sleep in the middle of the desert at high noon. Letting out a yawn, he got out of his car, yanking off his headset.<br/><br/>It wouldn't do him any good if his brain and eyes could hardly see. He kept the monitors running, tracking everything that had been happening around all of them form the last several hours. His alerts would wake him up, should anything happen. He stumbled to his bed, plopping down face first in comforters, as such as all the silence was unsettling, and he had little trouble falling asleep. However, the possible scenarios haunted his sleep.
