25

"Illumi is in the basement of a building that is..." Mentally, you counted, "sixteen blocks to the left, twenty-seven to the right of that." That was going to be the only truly easy one, since you had focused on Illumi. Machi eyed you and Feitan, as he was no longer allowed to speak. And of course, she would not allow a single rule to be broken.

This did not deter you. You were desperate for twenty-four hours alone with Feitan. Especially if they were going to include the tension that had been building between you both.

If you were honest with yourself, you desperately wanted to 'feel a man' again. That was the strange phrase your sister had always used when it came to sex. It always made you roll your eyes. Of course, she, a woman loving woman, would have some awkward way to describe the act. "Machi, I bored."

"Aren't you supposed to be looking for the others?"

"Easy see three more. Do not want lose. Will focus on them."

"Who did you find?"

"You no tell, right?"

"I can't. You can tell I didn't send any nen threads out. I don't have any other way to communicate with them."

With a sigh you turned to look at her. "Franklin, Bonolenov and Phinks."

"That's half."

"You make bad bet." She sighed. Talking to you was like talking to a brick wall sometimes. Not that you did anything to rectify that. "Feitan coming back." And indeed, he did, with a narrow-eyed Illumi behind him. You figured the tall man wouldn't be too pleased to be the first found, but it was a successful strategy on your part. It wasn't that you could see perfectly in the rain, but you definitely saw the general shape of people. Illumi would have been able to blend in with many people in Meteor City, because of his body shape and non-unique physique. "Feitan!" You smiled. "Phinks is the tallest guy at the shop full of vegetables. Franklin is the biggest guy across the block at the store with all the electronic things. Bonolenov is the only person at this big empty nest looking thing." Feitan looked at you with a hard look for that last one. He needed more information, although he was pretty sure you knew what he meant. "It has a lot of entrances. Maybe like a... bee nest? Wasp nest? Whatever the difference is."

With a nod, he was off again. And he had a lot running around to do, and all to his benefit. He had so many questions he wanted to ask you. Questions that, even if asked in your shared language, would be best asked in a private setting. His face blushed even thinking about it.

As you searched, however, you hit a block. Chrollo and Kalluto looked like any man and kid in the area. Both had changed their clothes even to blend in further. It would certainly take a substantial more effort for you to find them. Slowly, you sat down and figured out a plan for how to sweep the city and discern the apparently best hiders from everyone else in the city.
