The little girl still tried to squirm away from the man, she didn't trust him, obviously.But only because her dad had warned her."Let me go!" she said.But her voice was to innocent to sound tough.Once the man set her down, she was about to back up, and run, until he grabbed her by the shoulders.Her mouth was hidden behind the head of her stuffed animal puppy, and she did not answer the man.Not that she knew the answer behihds I don't know

He watched her a moment, hoping for a better answer than what he was hearing, but he soon came to realize that she wasn't going to speak at all. It was irking him, children nowadays. Do they not know how to talk when asked to speak? "Where are your parents??" he asked again, irritation evident in his voice as his grip on her shoulders tightened a bit.

The little girl, once more didn't speak.She was shaking slightly, giving away that she was scared.Scared of both the masked man, and the conflict that had just happened.She wouldn't talk to her, her lips were sealed shut.

Under his hands he felt her shaking and his habitual fierce grip loosened a bit, but was still firm. He'd forgotten that being the age she was, she was evidently still sensitive and all the chaos of the crowd hadn't helped. He couldn't stay for long. The assassin had somewhere to be in due time and she was preventing it. "If you don't talk, I can't get you home," it was odd coming from his lips, but he'd try just about anything to get her off his hands.

The little girl felt the mans grip on her shoulders loosen, she was still shaking a little though.She looked at the man with blue eyes through a few strands of blonde hair.In her child's mind, she didn't see a reason to question how the man knew where home was, or why he was willing to help, or any other questions older children may ask.The the girl looked down."I-i lost daddy in the people..." she said quietly.Which obviously ,meant she had lost her dad in the crowd of people.

A sigh was heard through his mask as she stated the obvious. Of course she got lost, why else was he wasting his time to get her back? Again, he was reminded that she was only a child and half of what she spoke wouldn't be logical.

Suddenly a few yells were heard despite the ones from the riot and Ulysses looked over to see the police. Thankfully it was them, they wouldn't be able to catch up to him if their lives depended on it. As if on instinct, he grabbed the girl again and set out to his vehicle that was only a few feet away. Quickly he slid into the truck, just about tossing the girl into the passengers seat before shoving his key into the ignition and starting it.

The little girl held on to her stuffed animal puppy.As if she thought it was her only security when daddy wasent around.The felt the man grab her again, making her follow him t his car.She tried to get away again.The man wasent gaining her trust any faster.He was just losing it.If there was any to lose.She got practically tossed into the passengers seat, making her drop her puppy onto the floor board.She tried to reach it with her short, child arms.

Ulysses gave little to no notice to the girl now only ordering her to put on her seatbelt as he put the truck on reverse and stepped on the gas, backing out of the parking, then turning out of the driveway. Now it hit him. Wouldn't it have made more sense to leave her with the police?

She frowned seeing her small short arms couldn't reach the floorboard to reach her stuffed animal puppy.She wanted it back, but couldn't reach it.She looked at the masked man. who was once more telling her to do something.She knew how to put a seatbelt on, just by watching her daddy do it, yet this seatbelt, didnt exactly, work.

After a minute or two the police had been long left behind though the assassin did not stop driving. His attention shifted to the girl again and he spared a glance over at her. What was he going to do with this kid? He doubted she knew her way home. "What's your name?" he sighed almost sounding defeated.

The little girl had not surrendered on trying to get Ozball out of the floorboard.Now she was trying to get it with her feet, and once again, faced defeat.She looked up at the masked man, "Nausicaä" she said.

His brow raised beneath his mask at the unique, yet strange name. Because of that he figured it shouldn't be to hard to have her found. Nausicaä wasn't the average name and anyone who knew it would recognize it right away. Again, he peered over at her, taking notice to her failed attempt to grab her puppy. This formulated an idea. If she did, or answered whatever he asked, he'd do her favors. An equivalent exchange. He quickly swiped up he bear and tossed it into her lap though his eyes were still on the road.

( its a stuffed animal puppy.)

They say in Greek, Nausicaä means 'burner of ships' which was a bit ironic since she was born, and named in the midst of a war.She watched as he grabbed her stuffed animal Ozball, and threw him onto her lap.She smiled happily, and almost cutely, as she grabbed her stuffed animal, and held it close, hugging it.After a moment she smiled up at the masked man.

(Fixed it )

Ulysses caught her smile, forcing himself to ignore it as he drove on. He knew where he was going, but wasn't sure if she'd be with him the entire ride. He'd never shared his locations with any other soul, however, this was only a child he was talking about. Not the brightest of the human species, yet he couldn't understand why he was feeling uncomfortable in her presence.

( they usually are bears)

She looked away and started to play with her stuffed animal as he drove.Making the puppy move on her lap.At least the girl didn't talk nonstop about the randomest of subjects, a lot.Though she appeared human, the girl wasent completely human.Her daddy was the human, her mother looked human, but was something else.

(It's a puppybear )

It was a four hour drive back to his hideout and he wasn't sure what to say, or even to think in the meantime. He did not look over at her, matter of fact, he was striving not to.

( nice name)

At least she had her puppy to occupy her, he better be glad about that.If Ulysses had not got the puppy for her out of the floorboard, probably around the one hour mark, a lot of talking, and questions, and randomness would have come along.But thankfully they didn't.She stayed mostly quiet the entire ride, only speaking a few words.

Soon enough and four hours later, Ulysses parked in a town. A very small town, or at least it looked to be. It really wasn't a town at all, but a place where he and all of his acquaintances stopped by after a mission. Anyone else who wasn't part of the organization were dealt with severely and it'd be hard to sneak in Nausicaä. An idea came to mind and he peered back to his back seats where a black bag lay.

Once the car had been parked, after what felt like forever later Nausicaä tried to look out the window, but was to short to see out the window, from this seat.She stood on her knees in the seat, curious, trying to see.

The second she peeked through the window he placed a firm hand on her shoulder and pushed her down. She couldn't risk being seen. "I want you to be very quiet, and very still," he spoke firmly as he gestured toward the black bag. Glancing out the window, he grabbed the bag. "See if you can fit in here."
