Tsukune grinned widely as he heard the song as the sprinklers went off. He decided he definitely liked the hacker's style. In fact, Tsukune was quite sure the plan that was forming in his head would work far better if he were to work together with the bat. Hopefully the bat would be allowed to retain some device he could use to hack into the complex's systems, which would give him access to much more information, as well as having numerous other advantages. Tsukune dropped his weights, heading off to find Vlad to ask where Marshall was quartered. Tsukune liked the idea of speaking to him before dinner.
As Tsukune found Vlad, he discovered that Hitomi was speaking to Vlad, and Vlad didn't look happy. Rushing in, Tsukune picked the professor up, holding him by the waist, still walking. "Excuse me, professor. I'm in quite a hurry. Could you tell me where the ummm..... what was his name? The hacker with the bat DNA. Oh yes, Marshall. I'm pretty sure that's what it was, wouldn't you agree?" Tsukune gave the poor man no time to speak, as he kept walking, no idea where he was going. The soldiers he passed he greeted casually with a wave and a smile, leaving them unsure of whether or not to intervene. "Yes, Marshall. You see, I had an idea that I would quite like to share with him, and discuss before supper. Unfortunately, professor, I have no idea where he might be. I assume it would be his quarters. Could you point me there?" By this time Tsukune had passed quite a distance, and he was sure that once he left, Vlad would out his anger on a nearby guard, or perhaps simply curse, instead of being able to act upon the innocent Hitomi. A guard, at least, would be able to take it.
