Nathaniel walked into the room to see his father crawling inside the air vent. "Oh no you don't" echoed from the vent's insides as Nathaniel stared in wonder. He fumbled blindly behind him and cranked the knob. Maybe I can give the Under-kid a fighting chance.

Nakari panted as he held himself suspended in a vertical vent in a Spider-Man-like style. Jeeze, he thought, How high is this? He inhaled and continued his ascent. Like a prairie dog, he cautiously poked his head over the edge of the vent. Profound cursing could be heard below him, and he saw the grate below him getting rattled. Grinning, he silently slid down the vent again and hopped down the open grate after checking for a coast clear.
With a quick glance, he bound for the front door, to freedom.

"Shit, Nakari. I almost killed you," said Jacoby, his ears pressed down in shame.

Laughing hysterically, Nikari stopped in the hallowed room.
"WHO CALLED ME?!" He hunched over, still laughing. "Is there anyone here, because, ya know, I JUST ABOUT DIED."

"I'm sorry!" he said again. His ears were pressed flat agianst his head and his tail was wrapped tightly around his feet. "I didn't realize you were in that much trouble. I'm really sorry."

Nakari took a deep breath.
"No prob man." He laughed again. "Seriously, that was the best adrenaline rush I've ever had. Way better than base jumping." He had to stop again to laugh. "I think I about peed myself once," he admitted. "Remind me to kill Gunther."

Jacoby's ears perked up a little at Nakari's forgiveness.
"Nakari!" Fiametta shouted as she burst into the meeting space. She had barely contained relief in her eyes. Pouring all her speed into the flight, she launched herself into his arms and embraced him tightly.
Then she smacked the back of his head.

"Ow! what?!" He cried, rubbing his head. "You try getting the fuck out of there without dying when Gunther pays you a visit! It's fun!"

Nakari stood up, knocking her from him. "If I recall, you're the one who was said someone should call me if I wasn't back in three hours?"

"Sorry, Nakari," she muttered, backing off at his subtle accusal. She fluttered down a few levels on the pipes.
Jacoby's ears had fallen flat again.

He exhaled. "All the same. . The kid remembered. I couldn't get to him."

"He still remembered?" she asked, incredulous. "But I drew blood. We got it into his veins, didn't we?"

"Apparently not." Nakari sighed. "He remembered as far as I could tell."

"Yikes," she whispered, mostly to herself.
