Chapter 44 : Call me Coda now.

Kofi turned the plastic card in her hand curiously. It had a sort of prism design to it, making it appear like a rainbow when she turned it a certain way. " Wow, it's super shiny " [ And colorful ]

Sebastian nodded [ She's so easily pleased ] " Yeah, it even has your name on it and everything ". Kofi looked at it closely, reading the words engraved in black " Ella Diamond ". Sebastian nodded, " Your money's already been transferred so you'll be fine ".

Kofi nodded and put it in her storage space after she slipped it in her pocket, " I was thinking of making it a fifty fifty deal but I'm out of time, so we'll work it out another time ". Sebastian nodded, waving her off " See you soon " [ So she doesn't love money as much as I thought ]

She suddenly looked back at him with a smile, " Sorry for throwing the dagger at you earlier too ". Sebastian was pleasantly surprised as she ran off in to the night [ Oh yeah. I forgot about that. Why did I forget about that? ]

He had his hands behind his back as he walked back into the building, " Lovely young lady. Strange, but lovely all the same ". He was a bit startled when Lloyd appeared in front of him, a bit breathless " Where's the girl "?

Sebastian frowned slightly, " Young Master Yadi,

do you two have some sort of business together "? Lloyd shook his head, gaining his composure " Not exactly. I was hoping to buy that painting from her ". Sebastian sighed and shook his head, " I'm afraid she's already gone ".

Lloyd clenched his fists tightly [ Damn it ] " Do you know if she'll be back "? Sebastian shook his head " She made no mention of it " [ She never mentioned when at least ]

He put his arm over the Lloyd's shoulders, walking him back in to the auction house " Why don't we get you a glass of water and calm you down. I'm sure you're grandmother's worried about you ".

Lloyd glanced at the brightly lit empty yard and sighed, " Alright. I'm sorry for the trouble Mr Fosmioa ". Sebastian laughed it off, walking with him " It's no trouble at all " [ I've done the best I can Ella ]

**^**^**^**^**^**^**^**^

Again Domino had helped Kofi change back into her old clothes again, " I'm really sorry about taking your name Domino ". She laughed and added, " I don't think I can call you that anymore ".

It was silent for a while and she suddenly spoke [ You shouldn't worry so much master. And it would be best to come up with another name for me to avoid any sort of complications in the future ]

Kofi nodded, walking now and looking around " I remember Seb' going on about something called code. Does it deal with technology "? [ Yes master, it does ]

Kofi nodded to herself, " Then I'll call you Coda instead since I imagine you as a girl . Do you like it "? It was silent for a few seconds when newly named Coda went on [ If I may ask, why Coda? ]

Kofi shrugged, " Master says ending a name with the letter 'A' makes it sound more elegant and feminine. Like what I did earlier. I would have called my self an elevator but Ella sounded shorter and more girly ".

It was silent again [ Master, what about your friends? ] Kofi looked around, saw a supermarket and began walking in its direction, " Can you make decoys of my friends when I enter that store "? [ Affirmative, what do you have in mind Master? ]

Kofi shrugged, walking towards the store " Luckily, the fun killer guy didn't see what I was wearing but we'll need an allabi anyways. We went to the market and got some groceries or whatever Peach called it. I want you to transport them out a minute after I walk in. Can you do that "? [ Affirmative master ]

**^**^**^**^**^**^**^

Meanwhile, Peach had woken up a while ago but was too embarrassed to move. Dylan held her tight even as he moved around, moving her in his lap. She was so close to his chest she could even hear his heartbeat [ This is the first time I'm being held like this though ]

She managed to peep at the projection on the wall and Kofi seemed to be having a blast. She was getting uncomfortable and beginning to think she'd actually forgotten about them but she mentioned the store.

Dylan looked at her and she closed her eyes, trying to act natural. She maintained her act even when he poked her cheek gently, " Do you think we should wake her up "? Chase smirked slightly, " Nah, what if something goes terribly wrong ".

Peach frowned slightly as Chase spoke, it was as though he knew she was awake and was messing with her. " Do we call you Domino or Coda now "? [ Since Master has given me a name, I'd prefer to be called Coda ]

Chase nodded with a smile, " Okay.... Coda. Since Peach isn't awake yet, we don't want to wake her up. Dylan doesn't mind carrying her on his back so can you make the decoy look like that "?

[ Affirmative....Chase. Do you have a certain position you'd like your decoy to be in as well "? Chase shook his head, " Not really, surprise me.....if it's not too much trouble of course " [ No trouble at all. Decoys being transported as we speak ]

Peach found herself turning red [ I will so get that walking ice cube back for this ] She heard Dylan's worried voice as he touched her forehead " She's so red Chase. I think she's coming down with something ".

Chase glanced at Peach with a smile and shook his head, " She'll be fine, don't worry ". Peach managed to calm down, maintaining her act as she yelled internally and felt herself become lighter [ You are so dead Chase ]
