Ranma: evolution: Hellfire Arival [Episode 66662]

"Shaw here." A tall black haired figure commented into the antique telephone he was holding. He was dressed in a very fancy red suit that would have looked right at home in the palace of Versailles during the reign of King Louie the 14th.

"It's Frost. I have item and am on my way." Came the response over the phone.

Sebastion Shaw blinked. "Emma? Is everything all right? You sound a little upset."

"I'm not upset." Emma responded into her cell phone as her other hand tightened its grip on her car's steering wheel. 'Why should I get upset just because Mystique's brat is too stupid to realize he's spent the last few hours in close proximity to one of the most beautiful women on earth!' she thought, recalling some of the moments she tried to 'clue the boy in'.

'If he wasn't so young I'd think he was a gynecologist! I mean I could feel him noticing me, but there's no way any boy his age could be so blasé about it unless he was gay! And I've seen enough of his mind to know he's not!' Once again Frost felt the rising temptation to throw aside caution and dive into Ranma's mind to fish out all of Ranma's secrets.

". . . All right." Sebastion Shaw's voice intruded back onto Emma's thoughts. "I'll accept your word that the boy hasn't done something to upset you."

Frost managed to keep herself from scowling.

"Well, we've got a guest room set up for him, and some of Price's guards ready to keep an eye on the boy." Shaw said.

Emma glanced over at Ranma who was sitting in the passenger seat looking dully out the window. "I think someone's fed you bad information. Ranma's our guest not a prisoner."

Shaw raised an eyebrow. "He'll be that hard to hold onto?"

"Yes, as I've told him, he'll have free run of the club until we find his mother or hook him up with someone who can search better."

"Yes, Mystique is the key to the boy's puzzle. And we haven't figured out how to track her down yet. . . Ok, I'm contacting the rest of the inner circle, as soon as your back we'll meet and decide how best to handle our guest."
