"Many have," Sheng replied as he began to stand.

Pepper continued to smirk as her eyes started to shine, "And I know where she is, Mr. Victor. Though I find it amusing you can't even keep track of one girl."

"Costa Rica," Sheng replied smoothly as he started to walk around his desk.

"But where?" Pepper chuckled, "Costa Vica's pretty big and the world is small. One jet and she's out of your grasp again."

"I'm not in the mood for a game," Sheng sighed as he headed for the door with Long behind him. "I'll see that you have some place to stay. I'll contact you when my schedule frees up and we can talk more about this lab of yours."

Pepper's laugh followed them out. As they left she started poking around his office, bored.

Pepper didn't have to wait too long. Someone new quickly showed up to take her to an apartment. Sheng didn't appear to keep anything important or of any real value in his office anyway.

So Pepper followed along, looking around with evident boredom, "You have a workout place around here?" she asked.

Her guide showed her to a workout area. The building didn't appear to be filled entirely with Yin Long surprisingly. But everyone glanced at her a little oddly.

Pepper seemed used to the stares. She nodded, noting the room before asking to be shown her living space.

Wolfe, still beautified, sought out Blaze.

Blaze was on time for her typical routine.

Wolfe walked in and went straight over to her. He looked worried as his eyes fixed on hers.

Blaze's eyes slowly scanned Wolfe as she stopped stretching. She didn't say anything.

"Kale's missing," Wolfe stated quietly, getting right to the point.

Blaze blinked. If she felt anything, she didn't let it show on her face.

"I need you to go look for him," Wolfe explained, "The neonates can't show their face currently."
