Times were begining to perk up for Remo now that Hunt had moved in. His adopted parents were happy about the news of a new room mate moving in, probably because it showed that Remo could manage life out on his own more than the fact that more of the rent would be paid. However, they had told him to not rent out the last room, and strangely never said why. But Remo had better things upon which to ponder than his strange parents. His little brother was coming around later, and had a 'trial evening' at Remo's place of work, the El Mare. Remo had nowhere else to go, he had no further education and noone to spend time with, so he spent almost all his time saving up money and working. This high record of attendance, along with such extencive expirience exlusively to the El Mare had given him a good positioning within the resteraunt of the five-star hotel. He was the Jr. Staff Manager. His name badge said so. Basically this ment that whenever a member of staff complained, he would have to look after them, or when something went wrong, he would manage human resoures - or tell everyone what to do. He was also responcable for keeping the customers happy when the manager wasn't around, so he made a fair coin for a hard days work. However, he didn't enjoy his job. He couldn't smoke inside the building at all, and was the only member of staff that did smoke. If his clothes smelt of fags, he would be in trouble, and his uniform was an extreemly neat black jacket and pants, with a black tie, a little black cap he never wore, and a snow-white shirt, all of which he loathed. His stature and name didn't make his job any easier either, he was barely 4"10 and was expected to argue a point against customers, although he was well aware of health and safety so he often had the advantage when it came to 'safe' and 'not safe' environment arguments, and had a verry nice semi-friend in hotel Security - Hunt. A 6"4 Russian half-breed wasn't something any angry customer would want to mess with, espicially a 6"4 Russian half-breed armed with pepper-sprey and a lifetime studying martial arts. This aside, Remo's job wasn't so bad. The fellow staff were friendly, it helped ease the stress of their hectic workplace, and even Remo could find friendly conversation with some of his eqaully young co-workers, although he could be incredibly short tempered and verry frustrating.
	A blizzard had stuck the city the night before. It was the morning after the game, Kon was trapped out the city by a collapsed bridge caused by the blizzard, and the power was out city-wide. Hunt was at the hotel, security had been stepped up, just incase something happened, and he had been working the graveyard shift, and Tan had left Bey and Remo alone for the night, but had stopped by in the morning just to make sure everything was Okay. Currently, Remo lay dressed beneath some blankets on the couch, no power ment no heat in this house, and he and Bay has stayed on the couch all night to keep warm. Bay was still asleep, and in his arms, and Remo lay watching her, his thoughts straying little to anything but what he saw before him. A knock at the door woke Bay, who rose confused, and Remo couldn't help but wonder if she was enjoying herself as much as he was.
	"Mornin looo-errm... Bay.." Remo said, suddenly gaining controll of what he was saying in mid-sentance. "I'll get the door..."
	"Okay Remo" Bay replied, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. Remo got up and shuffled to the door through the cold in one of Tans jumpers. It didn't suit him at all, but Tan had some really big clothes, by Remo's standards, so it kept him snug and warm. He opened the door to Amita, see his little sister infront of him. Instantly he was greeted by a fuzzily warm diving hug, knocking him to the floor.
	"REMO!!" Screamed an exited Amita
	"Amita!! How are ya'?" He replied, happy to see that his sister was okay, and even happier to see her here.
	"Oh I'm great! - I mean, its cold an' stuff, but, well I'm here now. I dont suppose you have power either?" She asked as she rose from Remo.
	"Pfft, ofcourse not, if the town center has none, why would we?"
	"Thats a good point.." She said, after a short pause. Remo got up, also, as Bey came into the hallway to see what was happening. Remo had closed the door before he saw Bey watching him in Tan's jumper, and Amita taking off her coat now that she was inside. Remo saw that Bey looked defeated, assif something had just backfired into her face, something she really cared for. Remo stood looking at her depressed expression in confusion, as Amita was shaken by the uneasy silence between the two.
	"Who's this?" Asked Amita after a long while, breaking the unsetteling silense as Remo ans Bey stood shivering. Remo suddenly turned to face Amita, looking slightly upwards to meet her gaze.
	"This, is Bey" He replied, pointing toward Bey, "And Bey, this is Amita"
	"Hi" Said Amita toward Bey, who just nodded in reply. Again, the silence came.
	"I'll go put t'kettle on then, eh? No.. wait... it wont work.. fuck" Said Remo, reilising that most of the city would be without power. "Unless.." He added, enthusiastically "Unless there's one of those little gas-fire things in that camping kit i have in my room for years ago. Uhm, I'll be a sec, okay? Just.. make yourself at home in the livin' room, its warmer in there" With this, he dissapeared up the stairs, and Bey turned back into the living room, Amita not too far behind. Bey sat back underneath the covers she and Remo had slept under, and Amita sat on the floor, still warm in her thermal-clothes. After a short while of Bey inspecting the furr on her legs and tail, and Amita staring at the pictures on the wall, she asked
	"So, Bey, how long have you known Remo?" Bey looked up from her leg, and met Amitas friendly expression with one of envy and angression
	"Why? hasn't he ever mentioned me before?" She replied, bitterly
	"Well, no not really... why? Hasn't he ever mentioned me before?"
	"He's said some stuff before, I cant 'member what though. He really... likes you..." Answered Bey, in a verry defeated tone.
	"Oh... well, I knew that" Said Amita
	"Yeah?"
	"Yeah... Hey wait, your'e a Fennec Fox aren't you?"
	"Yes.. and your a cat.. so what?"
	"Oh, well... Nevermind then" Said Amita, in a consealing tone. Bey prepered to question Amita on what she was hiding, but Remo burst through the door and quickly closed it behind him clutching a largish bag in one hand, and a tin in the other
	"Beans and spagheti for all! And! - A little couldren thing, with which to boil water. For a brew!!" He shouted, joyesly, throwing the bag containing his camping cookery kit, the tin of beans, a swiss-army knife, a small couldren and a packet of polastyrene cups. some milk, sugar and cofee.
	"Where do you keep all that?" Asked Amita, confused
	"He goes camping in the autumn" Replied Bey, still sounding depressed.
	"I didn't know that..."
	"Well, you do now" Said Bey. Whilst they were talking, Remo had set up his cooking kit. It was little more than a tripod designed to hold a couldren and a bowl over a small gas-stove lit by matches - something Remo had plenty of being a smoker - or a lighter. Using his ever-handy swiss knife he stabbed open a can of beans, cutting a hole in its lit, and poured them into the bowl and poured some water he had fetched from the bathroom in a used bottle into the small couldren.
	"I take it, Amita, that youv'e not long since eaten?" Asked Remo
	"Correct" She replied
	"Well, me and Bey aint eaten since last night, all the food we have in is frozen, and no power means no electic cookers can work, so we went hungry, I'd completely forgotten about this, I was too conserned with keeping Bey warm" He said "So Bey can eat these first" Bey looked up at him, confused, but Remo was giving all his attention to his cooking.
	"Thats chivalrous of you, Remo" Commented Amita
	"Yeah, uhm, thanks, Remo" Added Bey, in a slightly more happy tone. Remo looked up at her, smiling.
	"Oh its okay, I'm used to not eating much anyway" He replied
	"No, no for everything. For letting me stay here. For feeding me when I cant get home, keeping me warm, loved, everything. I owe you big time" She said, staring at his face. Remo continued to smile back at her.
	"No you dont. I mean, I couldn't just chuck you out into the streets could I? Besides, I quite enjoyed waking up next to you" Remo looked back down at the food before realising what he just said, and looked up to find Bey blushing and looking away shyly. He turned to face Amita, who was looking at him with a 'Nice move, verry nice move!' expression. Remo felt his face tingle as he started to blush, and looked back down at the food knowing it was nearly done. Bay was confused, but somewhat happy to hear Remo say something like this about her.
	After several hours of warm canned food and cofee, Remo and Amita prepered for work once the electricity came back on and a Remo received a call to come into work ASAP. It would be Amita's first ever job, and Tan would be showing her the ropes of working there. She would need to proove herself, now of all times, in a hectic situation, scared, cold and verry hungry snobs would be looking for food, security was overstretched in the situation, and Remo would have to overlook the chaos within the El Mare. Meanwhile, Bey was left inside the house, alone, where it was moderatly safe. Although accross the city riots were starting out, around the House there was little violence, even now, and it was cut off from the City as a bridge had collapsed into the main road, and only a series of winding paths cut through by emergancy serviced, and the army, allowed any safe passage in and out the disctrict.
