"You sure we can trust him?" Martel asked Greed softly. She was a little edgy, having only recently been freed and now having been spied on.

[HAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAa *is dead on the floor laughing* Sorry! Just the mention of the ex-wife! HAAAAAAHAAAAAAAA!] [Echm... excuse me *straightens up*]
He still clutches tightly to the corpse in his arms - already by instinct, regarding the tall man in the bit of light allowed in through a small narrow gap where the blind meets the window frame. He contains his excitement - there is something about this mouthful of sharp teeth the man possesses and the inability to see the other's eyes unsettles him greatly...
"I will join you, under the condition, that you allow me to work on my personal project."
He finally swallows, but still keeps his voice low: "She's called Dante. I had no knowledge of her, before I arrived here... she's-was my employer..." Perhaps he'd said too much now... the group could be allied with Her - giving him in and getting him punished... but... why would the tall man then offer to him the possibility to join HIM?! Tucker's mind reeled a bit, making him uncertain and causing him to cover up slightly - slumping his shoulders.

Martel's glanced was suddenly towards the dead chimera in Tucker's arms. "Did you do that?" she asked him, pointing to the corpse. She was still a little uneasy and unsure.

Everyting he was thinking until now was erased. His mind exploded. Something happened he did not think of, he did not take this possibility into account. Dante was somewhere near. *WHERE?* he screamed at Tucker more fiercly than he had in plan. *WHERE IS THAT BITCH?! I NEED TO FIND HER AND KILL HER!* Everything else stood aside now. *IS SHE ALONE???*

"Yes," He shifts his look to Martel, his glasses hide the sadness that passes through his eyes, "But I will bring her back."
When Greed starts shouting, he jerks backwards as if struck.
"I don't know. What i know though, is that she has a few homonculus to her disposal... she's old and feeble - fragile looking... so I believe she is not alone..."

Martel backed away a little bit from Greed. She had a feeling she shouldn't be close to him at the moment. "She's the one who had them do this to us...isn't she?" Martel asked Greed, though she had a feeling that she already knew the answer.

His voice became quiet suddently. His whisper was full of hatred and desire to kill, to maim, to torture. *How long is it, till you last saw her? And who was with her at that time?* he hoped that Envy was not with her. Envy was the most skilled of homunculus he remembered, and he did not with to fight him, at least not now.

"I saw her some time before the lights went out. what was that anyway? Does..." pauses, suddenly wondering how did Nina die... what happened? how?! WHO?! He quickly glances at the corpse, for the first time fully noticing the manner of her death... it clicks in. Whomever cast the building into darkness with an explosion, must have been responsible for what happened to Nina. He did not care, if his conclusion to this was wrong. It seemed right. It seemed - that he could throw part of his guilt onto somebody else. Anger was always better than fear - especially for Tucker, who was a coward.
"WHO CAUSED THE EXPLOSION?! It could not have been that small Homonculus... even though... could it? He could have been mad for Nina... but why would he kill her..." he muses out loud - ignoring the rest, hugging the corpse tighter, causing blood to drip wetly on the floor - squeezed out by the applied pressure.

Martel noticed the blood. "You may want to stop that" she told Tucker, pointing at the blood dripping from the corpse.

*That is highly irrelevant now!* he snapped at him. *Whatever started that explosion, made me free, that is all that matters. His voice drew more coldly: *Tell me what I want to know, and then I will help you find anyone who killed this!* he pointed to the corpse in Tucker's hands. *Now tell me. With whom was Dante and where is she now?*

Tucker grows hysterical and squashes the corpse: "Whoever started that explosion killed my daughter before that! She's got her brains blasted out!"
He drawls out a long, low, agonized moan and buries his face into the bloodied fur, then adds with a muffled voice: "She called him Wrath... and they should be around the main lab area - the one with the more important offices and jail..."

Martel felt her eyes widen when Greed refered to the dead chimera as "this". Tucker had called someone Nina....was that the name of the chimera? She looked at Greed, suddenly doubting whether or not he had freed them for reasons other than helping him.

He nodded fiercely. If he could get rid of Dante, that would solve all problems. The sooner the better. Wrath... it seemed that she got another homonculi at her side and there was no saying if he was the only one new. But no time for thinking right now. He was prepared to take the risk and put Dante out of way NOW. He turned to Martel. *That women, Dante... she is responsible for my seal and the experiments that they did to you. She is responsible for our suffering. And she is here, practically undefended! NOW LET'S TAKE HER OUT!* His voice was full of zeal, he was prepared to hunt her down and put her in pain. He looked at Tucker. *Lead us!*

Martel nodded without a sound. She was still wondering about the real reason Greed had freed her, but she still wanted to help him.
Not to mention she was certain that the people who did this to her would force her back into the cages again. And she promised herself that she would protect Greed, no matter what the cost.

He lead them. Even though his senses screamed to run away while he still could, he lead them, because some part of him told him that it is better for him on this side, than out there alone, being hunted to make the Philosopher's stone... If he would ever make the stone or even lay hands on it, he would use it for HIMSELF. There ain't a friend when there's a Philosopher's stone. He kept quiet about it for now. As he led them, he watched Martel and the others and marveling at the skill they were created. his brain planning in advance what he himself could do with this new knowledge. Nina could look almost human, when he will recreate her.
He stopped on the junction between the corridors to the main laboratory, the jail and the main offices.

[Martel! You deleted your post! Mine gives no sense now! :S]
*Edited post to give sense*
"This is the place where she could be. If you excuse me now. I need something in the laboratory and I will be back shortly. You may look for her in the meantime. I have no desire to see her... ever again."
He heads towards the lab and looks back to Greed: "If you can collect me in this lab, when you are done..." He gestures to the main laboratory and enters.
In there, he carefully sets the corpse onto a table and rolls out a barrel. Whatever its use may have been before, now Tucker filled it with the bluish liquid from one of the vats with an incomplete chimera in it - causing it to suffocate, but not moving an eyebrow at that sight.
The barrel full, he lowers Nina's corpse into it, the excess liquid splashing to the floor. Before sealing the lid on tight, he whispers to the now preserved body: "Don't worry, darling, daddy will carry you on his back to wherever he will land next and then he will make everything right again. And we will be happy, Nina. Very happy and together and I swear that daddy will never betray you like that again. I love you, darling."
With that he securely seals the lid and ties a rope around the fat middle of the barrel - pulling it onto his back,but staggering under the weight of it.

Martel watched the scene with Tucker and Nina, surprised at how gentle he was being with her. No doubt her own parents would do what Tucker was doing for Nina.

He just nodded and left without the word, searching for Dante. *Wait till I find you,* he said as he sneered. *I will show you everything, that I have though about through these years.* He was filled with anger, there wasn't any place for anything else. His find was set on search and destroy. He rushed through the offices and laboratories, looking everywhere. but Dante was nowhere to be found, which made Greedo furious. After a while, he passed by several prison cells, with prisoners inside. He rushed by them, but then he stopped, looking at them a question in his mind. He spoke it: *You there! Have you seen any kind of old women in this corridor?* If there is a possibility of encountering her now, he was prepared to do anything.

Martel followed Greed through each of the rooms. She was loyal, though not near as loyal as Dorochette had been.
She wasn't sure why she kept following him. None of the scientist who knew about the chimeras were around; as far as Martel knew they had fled during the explosion. And Greed could probably keep himself safe. So....why did she stay so close to him?

Sitting in a corner of his dark cell, Kimblee looks up at Greed. The shadows of the corner shroud his whole body, making his face look almost as if it were completely missing. Although an onlooker couldn't see it, he began to smirk. "Any old women, you say?" He stood to his feet and took a slow, graceful stroll to the bars of his cage, "Such information is apparently valuable to you, is it not?"
