Celeste face lit up, "LOGAN-SAN <3" She jump hugged him, "Thank you." She said softly letting him go. "Coco-" She started to call but a little cat face popped out of Logan's shirt pocket.

She giggled, "You sure do enjoy being carried around don't you?" She plucked him from Logan's pocket and onto her shoulder.

Logan chuckled and they headed for the airport.

"They sure have been gone for a long time..." June commented as the waiter poured them some more coffee.
"Here." Polly pulled out her cellphone. 'Yo, are you ok? You've been gone for awhile now.'

About a min or so later, she got a text back, 'Yeah, I'm ok. Logan-san and I are just exploring. We'll caught up with you later.'

"Guess they're adventuring about the town." Polly shrugged. "Should we go back to the hotel?"

Horatio was silent for a moment as he thought, "... what day is it today?" he asked suddenly.

"It's Friday, why?" Victoria said, setting her teacup down.

"Funny." Horatio replied sarcastically, "Do you have any idea how many 'fridays' I've-actually no, friday is one of the less common days I've had. Huh" he added with a thought, "but seriously, date? year? I wasn't really paying attention when I came through"

"Friday, September.. 30th-" Victoria said as June interrupted her with the year.

"... we should go to Japan tomorrow" he suggested.

There was a pause.
"What are we trying to go around the world in 6 days?" Polly asked, letting out a nervous laugh.
Victoria said nothing as she pulled out her cellphone and pushed several buttons. "...Bloody hell." She sighed rubbing her temple.
"They aren't sight seeing are they?" June asked.
"No, they aren't... Celeste turned off her GPS in her cell about 30 seconds ago and it's last location was the airport...."

"She's just going to japan. Logan is with her. We can pick them up tomorrow" Horatio reasoned.

Victoria sighed, "Horatio, I don't know how much you keep tabs on us but Celeste just bonded with Columbus, also making a large pink beacon to our pursuer where we live."

"If he didn't know already." Polly pointed out, nervously.

"I won't put it past the man to already know where we've been, regardless of the corner measures we've put into place." They had changed their last names, the bracelets made them look differently... "...This would be the perfect opportunity to nab her. June-"

June shook her head, "No way. I'm teleported all out. I may be able to teleport myself but the likelyhood that I'd appear in Japan..." June wasn't use to teleporting people and such distances. If she tried, they may end up in a wall or in the middle of nowhere.

"You knew this was coming. Out of all of us, Celeste has felt the most isolated in America."
"Yes but I thought I would have more time." Victoria tapped away on her cellphone, "Hey Scott... Everything was going alright... till Code Birdcage happened... No, she normally won't but Logan's with her... Yeah, I know. So, when do you think you'll be here with the Jet? Italy. I'll text you our closet airport... Alright... Ok... Bye <3."

"I am aware of the situation" Horatio replied "and she will be fine until tomorrow. June can rest and regain her teleportation and ceres can have a day back home."

Victoria did not sound pleased by Horatio's calmness, "History can be rewritten Horatio, whose to say that person or thing that beat you to a pulp doesn't show up and stop us from getting them in time?" She asked. She wasn't dumb, she knew what bruises and cuts from battle looked like.

"Because I know what I'm doing" Horatio replied firmly, and just a bit annoyed. "You must be the only ones who ever give me a hard time about these things." Everyone else was more than happy to obey the whims of the time reaper.

June put a hand on Victoria's shoulder, "Hey... It'll be alright."

Victoria had both hands on the tea cup, "If something happens to her-" She began as the liquid inside the tea cup began to boil.
"Victoria!" Polly called and Victoria quickly removed her hands and took a deep breath to calm herself.

"Let's... just get going." She said, getting up to pay for their meal.

"Victoria" Horatio stood and offered her his hand.

Victoria hesitated, her hands were rather warm at the moment. She took another deep breath and slowly gave Horatio her hand.

The colours from the world were sucked away like a vacuum, leaving Horatio to meet Victoria's gaze, "What do you remember of the other worlds I have brought us to?" he asked.

Victoria pulled out her soul tome, it was a giant book about 2/3's Horatio's height. The front of the book was covered in golden decals and a jet black bookmark glowed a soft red within it's pages.

"More than I let on." She said leaning the book against herself. "I also remember you don't always tell yourself if something bad is going to happen..." She said. It wasn't that she didn't trust Horatio but more so worried of the times when Horatio was wrong about an outcome because he had gotten cocky and some random time traveler changed everything.

Horatio placed a hand on the book to stop her from reading, "I do not always tell myself, because sometimes bad things need to happen. When it comes to you however, my sisters, I have well learned my lesson. I only ever make a mistake once, and that was when I did not stop Ceres' soul gem from becoming tainted. That was entirely my fault" his eyes fell, "and it will not happen again. I asked for the date because I wanted to make sure-my younger self in in Japan right now. Ceres is safe, trust me and let her enjoy a little time to herself. She needs it, more than you know."

Victoria pulled her book back inside her Soul gem, "It's not that I don't want her to go. I know she's had a rough go at all this but... It's my job to worry for them. They're everything to me... And you. Someone must have helped Savage. Someone from our level of existence... Which is why I can't help but worry..." Her hands were glowing warmly.

"Savage is in North Salem, New York" a second Horatio appeared behind Victoria, "This is beginning to get a bit complicated" he tilted his head, looking around to his other self, "Time for you to go back there"

"What about Bishop?" the first Horatio questioned.

"The teleporting throws him off a couple years" the second replied, "I've got a nasty surprise for him after that" he smirked, "oh, and I gave Ciara half a sleeping pill to keep her from going out with the others today, so she's safe at the mansion but you're still going to have to convince Savage that the girls were either never there, or are long gone before they can go back."

First Horatio sighed, "good... and you can make sure these girls get their free vacations so they can save me from drowning"

"Sounds like a plan." the second nodded, then looked to Victoria, "I'll see you in Japan-tomorrow" he emphasize.

At the thought of Savage in New York, Victoria hand had started to shake, the rest of the two Horatio's conversation went over her head as her arms began to glow brighter and brighter. But like when steel is exposed to hot coals.

Savage is in New York She thought to herself, her heart pounding. She didn't know if she could resist him if she came face to face with hi again. She'd felt a small pull at her heart when she saw him even with all the horror before her, the red strings were still there. Possibly a side effect of him still being alive. If she hadn't placed that bookmark in her Soul tome long ago... They may have already be in his hands.

"Vesta" they spoke in unison as both realized she was freaking out.

"It's alright, I will handle it" assured the first Horatio, "just breathe. He'll be gone before you get back"

She looked up when her name was spoken. She looked much different than how she usually looked. She was always able to keep a level head, calm and collected but she looked terrified.

"Horatio, if...I..." She looked down at her hands and took several deep breaths, finally realizing she was loosing control, "It's getting harder to contain." She admitted. "He has my familair. He'd keep him close to himself because he knows one day I won't be able to control this and I will seek him out on my own..." She closed her eyes and looked up, breathing slowly, her skin turning back.
