"Caught in the Act" (L'Rennouille) A small man in all black tip-toed down the hallway, looking this way and that, trying not to be heard or seen. This man was the same man who planted the explosive on an outside wall. Now, Gilbert, Rowd, Frank, Rachel, and Lawrence are all looking for this man. Well, Rachel and Lawrence are. Rowd is passed out bleeding on Gilbert's doorstep. Frank is looking into the women's dressing room. Gilbert is passed out on his bed. Such a lively crew, eh? The small man in black's name was Yoki. Now, for those of you who don't remember, Yoki is the young boy that Rowd encountered in the mountains after he left Jillia. Yoki looked down at his feet to the left, and noticed a bulky man, covered in blood which seemed to be coming out of his nose. "Rowd..." Yoki muttered under his breath. Yoki kneeled down and held a knife high into the air. As he began to thrust the short steel blade down into Rowd's very thick skull, Gilbert swung open the door, "Dammit Rowd! I can hear you snoring from inside!" When the door to Gilbert's room swung open, Yoki got a good knock in noggin, causing him to tumble over backwards. Gilbert noticed the smallish man in black, who currently appeared to be doing a hand-stand of sorts. Gilbert ran over to him, "Who are you? What were you doing to him? Are you the guy that everyone is so vigourosly looking for?" Yoki just sat in silence for a while, until Gilbert took it upon himself to spit into the young man's eye. Yoki screamed in pain, "Okay! Okay! I'll tell you!" Gilbert crossed his arms, prepared for a load of bull, or so he thought. "My name is Yoki. I've been hunting Rowd for years. Ever since he was three. You see, when he was three, I was a flying squirrel known as Yukuyuku. And for some reason unknown to God himself, Rowd got hold of a pellet gun. Now, being the curious brat that he was, he took it upon himself to shoot the crap out of me with those dang wooden pellets, thus killing me!" Gilbert raised an eyebrow, but moved nothing else. Then, as if someone pushed a magic button on his back, he burst out laughing. Yoki was embarrased by this, and had a blush to his face. "Sir, I'd like to know what is so funny," said Yoki, who was quite concerned at this point. "It's just that," Gilbert said, trying to catch his breath, "you don't need to be so sneaky to kill Rowd. I mean, LOOK AT HIM!" Gilbert pointed his finger towards the man with drool coming out of his mouth, and blood out of his nose. "Do you know what he was supposed to be doing?" Yoki shook his head, "He was supposed to be looking for you! And look what he's doing!" Gilbert continued to laugh until his stomach hurt so much that he actually started to wince in pain. Yoki's face was again red with embarrasment, "So, sir, am I to be arrested?" Gilbert merely continued to laugh hysterically. Yoki, looking at this as a golden oppurtunity, simply tip-toed away in silence, leaving Gilbert rolling around on the floor laughing like a madman, and Rowd passed out with a bloody nose.
