"Ok, so is this a vacation or work?" Meilin asks.

"Both, we are to pose as three rich married couples on vacation. Lee, you are to pose as a prospective buyer." Josh states.

"Lovely." Lee dryly states.

"And just what is Wulf supposed to be?" Meilin growls.

"Body guard for Lee."

"Typical...," Meilin comments, "And I'm some helpless...,"

"Sakura's body guard," Josh quickly states.

"And, the two of you?" Sakura asks.

"Alright! fashion designer...," Madison celebrates.

"Oh brother," Meilin states.

"I'm the...,boy toy husband." Josh states blushing. the others get a chuckle out of that.

***

"Where's Sakura?" Tori asks.

"That's why I need to talk to you." his father states. He winces hearing Kero and Ember arguing.

"What's going on?"

"Well...," he begins and tells Tori what Sakura would be doing for the next two to three weeks. As Aidon explained their first mission, Tori's face became quite purple with rage.

"They will be unsupervised!" Tori explodes.

"It has to be this way, Tori. They are going to be in a dangerous situation and they have to pose as adults."

"This is fucking ridiculous!" Tori shouts. Aidon sighs to himself. His son would have to accept Lee sooner or later and the sooner he did so, the better.

"Wow, look at this room," Sakura gushes.

"It's a suite, so it ought to be a good room." Lee comments. Wonder how long it'll take Meilin and Wulf to start...," Lee begins and hears the two's muffled sounds of passion. "That didn't take long." he says and Sakura giggles.

***

"Now this is work." Meilin says as the three girls lounge in front of the pool. "No Trenton to pop up out of nowhere to attack us."

"You sure your dad can handle Kero and Ember?" Madison asks.

"He said he could, besides, what trouble could those two get in to?" she says and the other two look at her as if to say that was a stupid question. Sakura blushes and tries to change the subject quickly. "Where are the boys?"

"Scouting out our target," Meilin quietly answers. "I don't like this, this might be some damn setup by someone that's related to Fermont or something." Madison rolls her eyes at Meilin.

"Josh wiped out his computer and destroyed all of his backups. I doubt we'll see him again." Madison states.

"You've got too much faith in that boy." Meilin comments.

"I wish you'd stop that." Madison shoots back.

"Hey, he can't handle himself...," Meilin begins to say but Sakura elbows her seeing Josh coming. Meilin scowls for just a second until she notices what Sakura had five seconds ago.

"They've gone to find our targets. We can listen in through these," Josh says and produces several small transparent ear buds. "We can keep in contact from anywhere on this ship,but we best keep silent until they come back." he finishes and Meilin gives him a 'duh' look which Madison scowls at.

"I don't usually deal in...,personal protection weapons...,Mr...,"

"Li, Syaoran Li." Lee says using the Chinese version of his name.

"Ah, I thought you looked like you were from either Hong Kong or China." the man states.

"It's more for my family...,I've have family on at least three continents." Lee states.

"Who's the blond?"

"He's a bodyguard..., I'm the patriarch of my family, something happens to me, the whole think collapses. It was unfortunate that my mother couldn't pop out another son." Lee states. He had to talk like he was a shady individual so that he would be believable.

"Don't have someone to...,continue the line with?"

"I do, but I can't be reproducing when there's money to be made." Lee states and the target smirks.

"I like you kid,"

"Don't call me that...,a crazy uncle calls me that and I can't stand it." Lee says and the target chuckles.

"Can't choose who we are related to now can we?"

"No, so you've got any goods or not?"

"How much you willing to spend?"

"I've got billions." Lee brags. The target lights up realizing that he could make a quick buck on this little vacation.

"Crazy uncle?" Sakura asks rubbing in the sunscreen into Lee's back as Meilin laughs her head off about that comment.

"Hey, I needed to get back at him and making him a crazy uncle seemed to be a good idea." Lee answers.

"Well, the entire conversation was recorded so we've got our first bit of evidence against him." Josh states.

"What's next?" Madison asks.

"We meet him in his cabin later tonight." Lee states.

"This the part where me and Sakura play eye candy to distract them?" Meilin asks.

"Yes, but if they attempt to...," Josh begins and Meilin cracks her knuckles.

"I get to rough them up." she says with a vicious grin.

"Guys...,I'm getting that feeling again," Sakura begins. Lee bites his lip. Sakura's precognizant abilities had been getting stronger ever since Eli's last trail. The group then hear the sound of an explosion and the ship rocks.

"What the hell was that?" Meilin asks. Josh grabs his bag and brings out his goggles and wrist band.

"Uh oh," he says, using the zoom feature, "looks like we've got another problem...,this ship is under attack."

"Attack!?" the others shout.

"Modern day pirates...,you'd think whoever is got us doing this ridiculous mission would have warned us about pirates." Josh continues and the ship rocks again. The group could the frantic shouts of both passengers and crew.

"Well, can we help out while not blowing our cover?" Sakura asks.

"Uh, we're about to have no choice...," Madison says nervously.

"Don't move or you'll eat hot lead. You girls are coming with us." one of the attackers demands.

"Human slave traders," Wulf growls. "Should have known something like this would happen,"

"I hate to disappoint you, but we aren't so defenseless!" Meilin shouts and the first eats a kick to the head knocking him out.

'Leave it to Meilin to get the mayhem started.' Lee sends to Sakura.

'I'll use power on you and fight on me.' she sends back.

'Gotcha,' Lee replies. The quiet card activation goes unnoticed as more of the slave traders come to help their fellows. They didn't last long against the strength Of Wulf and Meilin, along with the magical enhanced Lee and Sakura. Josh, for his part, had kept Madison shielded and picked of anyone that decided to come after him with either a stun needle or laser. A call to retreat sounds and those who were still standing picked up their fallen compatriots and left.

"I'm glad that nothing happened to my new customer. that would have been...,unfortunate." their target states. He smiles to himself at all the eye candy in the room. His buyer's wife was a green eyed minks while his buyer's cousin was also easy on the eyes. The third girl was the cousin of Li's wife. The man certainly new how to keep himself surrounded by beautiful women while still being married. He snaps his fingers and a case is brought over and he opens revealing a nasty looking weapon.

"Nice," Lee compliments.

"If you need other personal protection besides muscles over then this is for anyone. Light for a woman to carry, but has enough in it to take someone's head off." he states.

"Josh?" Lee says turning to the boy. "He's quite the expert in weapons, if fact, he's an expert on anything I need him to be an expert in." Lee states. Josh examines the weapons and gives a slight nod to Lee.

'Now Sakura, sleep.' Lee sends. Instantly, everyone in the room falls asleep.

"Damn too easy." Meilin growls.

"Bye bye," Josh says and the men vanish in the light of an interdimensional jump.

"What do we do for the rest of the time we're here?" Madison asks.

"They are paying for this, so let's take full advantage of it." Lee suggests smirking. 'Besides, Tori probably knows I'm with her and he's going to want to kill me after he finds out how much time I've spent with her. alone
