Aiden tapped his foot a little impatiently as he waited for Matsuda. He had gotten a few texts (a LOT of them, actually) over the past day or so, and they had arranged for the blond to meet up with Eva and himself here. IE: A secluded portion of the town square, near city hall. They had only been there for a few minutes or so, but he was anxious to see the blond and find out what the hell was going on...

Eva was just about as patient as Aiden was waiting for the other blond to show up. Anya was at home in good care, so she wasn't worried about her, but if Matsuda was the one randomly urging to meet up with them the way he was, it had to have meant something was wrong with Jack or Hotaru, or probably even both. She was pacing back and forth, occasionally running a hand through her hair (which was slowly growing out, it was practically at her chin at this point). After a few more minutes she looked over her shoulder to see the blond Ookami running toward them finally.
Matsuda had jogged to the meeting place a good portion of the time in an attempt to not be late. Unfortunately he saw his efforts useless as he noticed the pair had already arrived before him, but it didn't matter, he was there now. "Sorry to keep y'all waiting.." he apologized, catching his breath just a little before standing up straight again.

Aiden shook his head, he didn't mind it so much. It had only been a few minutes, and at least Matsuda was HERE now. "Forget it, Matsu. What did you need to tell us?" There was certainly more to the question than that, though. What was so important that Matsuda had to tell them both in person and away from Anya? His hands were in his pockets, having them at his sides would make him want to hit something out of frustration, possibly Matsuda...

Matsuda nodded his head. "Right, well...." he took one more deep breath and prepared to get punched in the face before he started. "Someone- er, some people kidnapped Hotaru," he saw Eva's eyes widen and he decided to continue before she exploded. "There were three from what I heard, some psychos were able to lure her to the cemetery, Jack and Tekka with her. There was a big fight and Jack and Tekka both ended up in the hospital, they nearly died." he still couldn't believe the words he was speaking himself, he still couldn't face the fact that his little sister was trapped somewhere with a bunch of freaks who could harm her in more ways than one.
Eva burst out. "WHAT!?" she hollered out, grabbing Matsuda by the collar of his shirt. "And HOW long have you know this and not told us!?"
The Ookami tried speaking as calm as he could in response. "I arranged the meeting the moment I found out Eva. We're trying to get a plan together, I've already talked to Jack and Tekka about it." he turned his head over to his clanmate, if Eva was going to try hitting him while he wasn't looking then that was her own problem. "You were one of the first people we thought of to help us out, but we're gonna need you both." the worry in his expression was as clear as daylight itself. "Think y'all can help us?"

Aiden was about to grab Matsuda himself and shake him until he gave them EVERY LAST DETAIL, but his wife had him good and beaten. "Of course!" He managed to keep from yelling, but barely. "It's my brother and sister that nearly died, right!?" And his brother's girlfriend was missing... kidnapped... Who KNEW what was going on in his brother's head at that moment.
You do The little voice (absence ended thanks to the current situation) reminded him. You know what's going through his head and what he'll try to do he'll do what you did he'll try and make them pay make them suffer kill them all for taking his precious one away
Aiden decided for the umpteenth time that that little voice was certifiably insane and shoved it to the back of his mind again.

"Okay, then that makes five," Matsuda muttered to himself. Well, six if that woman Tekka mentioned does end up helping them, they already had the trio out numbered, that was always good. He looked back at Eva, who looked about ready to rip his head off, and tried to keep as calm as he could. "If you let me go I can answer any of your questions a lot easier." he stated simply.
The Tora glared at him for a moment, reluctantly releasing her hold on his shirt. "What do they want with Boss?" she snapped at him.
Matsuda looked back at her again. "We're thinking they're putting together this weird... family sorta thing. They kept calling her 'Mommy' is what they told me, and the three that took her kept calling each other Daddy, brother, sister, that stuff. The upside to that is that I'm thinking they won't hurt her... physically at least." he frowned, who knew what ELSE they could be able to do to her.

Aiden frowned. "That doesn't sound all that promising..." He had spent enough time in the hospital to know that a LOT could be done to a person mentally to scar them. And if the detached memories were right, he knew it first hand (or perhaps second-hand, now) how it felt. "And it might as well be three on three if Jack and Tekka are still hurt." He said. Not to be a pessimist, but he was trying to be realistic here.

Matsuda sighed. "I know, but I don't really think that matters to them to be honest. They're gonna try and fight no matter if they're missing an arm I'll bet." the sad part is that that really was the case. "But Tekka said that there was a girl that found them at the cemetery after those guys ran off. Said she'd be able to help. Then I know two more people that'll help us in a heart beat, I plan on talking to them later today."
Eva scolded at him. "Do ya AT LEAST know where they had her?" she asked impatiently. She was ready to go out and find the redhead NOW, why was Matsuda being so CALM?
The blond Ookami frowned again. "Well, no, we're working on that..." location would he pretty important to know now wouldn't it? He could see Eva getting more furious with each passing second. In a way he knew he should be scared, but freaking out wasn't the best choice in this sitaution and he knew that.

Aiden placed a hand on Eva's shoulder, a silent 'calm the hell down' gesture. "I'll start looking, I don't have anything else I need to do until tomorrow at least. Bring Jack and Tekka over when they're out of the hospital, we can tell them and you about whatever we've found out by then." 'We've' because he KNEW that if Eva just stood around she would go nuts... It was either this or a sparring match turned fight-to-the-death, and with a kid at home that wasn't a good idea.

"Sounds good." Matsuda replied, talking more to Aiden than Eva at this point. It was easier talking to the calmer of the pair anyway. "Oh! Jack's also wantin' me to give you his number." he pulled his phone out real quick and pulled up a text for Aiden with Jack's number in it. "He doesn't have it on him right now, but he still wanted me to give it to you when I saw you."
Eva blinked when her husband put her hand on her shoulder. She tried to relax herself a little, but dammit, how was she suppose to be calm when her best friend was missing? They were the only two left from the old days.

Aiden added the number to his contacts and flicked his phone shut just after. "Thanks Matsu... Is there anything else? Any ideas on where they might have taken her to?" He had already said he didn't know... but... "If they were doing that... family thing, they probably took her to a house or a cottage or something... Some place where they could put on an illusion until maybe she believed it..." Apparently hanging around the psychiatric ward after his accident had done him some good...

Matsuda's eye widen just slightly at Aiden's theory. "I think you're onto something." he said, a small smile on his face. At least they had SOMETHING now! "Yeah, that sounds about right, if y'all could look around at different places like that and tell us what you find that would be awesome!"
Eva looked back over at the two Ookamis, having calmed down a bit. "So we'll be out looking for possible hideouts while you're recruiting?" she asked. "Sounds good to me." She could hardly wait to get a move on, the sooner they started looking the sooner they would find Boss.

Aiden nodded. "Right, but maybe we can narrow the search a little bit. Matsu, what clans were the kidnappers in, did either of my siblings see?" They'd probably stick to places within their own territory, it would be more familiar and they would be able to keep people away from the hideaway with however much sway they had in their clan... if they could narrow it down to one or two clans that helped their odds significantly... He just hoped it wasn't in Kuma territory, that would take ages to thoroughly search...

Matsuda took a moment to think about his conversation with Jack. "Well, I know the little girl of the group's in Tora, I think the other guy is too. Then Jack said the guy that had a hold of Hotaru was a Kuma. I'm thinking that was the guy they called Daddy." he shrugged. "So we can rule out Ookami territory at least."
Eva looked back at them again. "But if the 'kids'," she made quotation marks with her hands. "are the ones in Tora and the 'Dad's a Kuma, it'd make more sense to go with the Kuma territory wouldn't it?" she asked them. The parent makes the big decisions like where to live, right?

Aiden nodded. "It would... And I was hoping it'd be in Tora or Ookami territory, but I guess that's just not our luck..." He frowned. "Still, that's much less ground to cover than if we were stuck with going through the entire city." He uncrossed his arms from where they had managed to find themselves across his chest as he had thought. "Alright. Eva and I will start looking through Kuma territory, Matsu, I'm sure SOMEONE in Kuma must have been close to Hotaru, can you find them if there is someone like that?" They'd need any inside information on the clan they could get.
