Things might have gotten… out of hand.

Even Sen, with all of his brilliant ideas, was prone to one or two bad ones. Sometimes, things just happened and, really, there was no one person to blame at the time. He might have been a little sloppy drunk, but he was still a gentleman. If someone took his flirting wrong and decided to be jealous because he could pick up their partner with relative ease… that really wasn’t his fault. It also wasn’t his fault that he tried to do it with some apparent big wig’s wife.

Trying to evade arrest might have been his fault. Maybe the police officer’s fault too, just a little bit.

He slunk back in the cell, outputting the most pathetic sigh. “He threw the first punch, why am I paying for it?” Clearly, it was self-defense.

Luckily, he got his phone-call, but he loathed the conversation that would soon follow. The last thing he wanted to do was go groveling to .

“Hey so uh… don’t be mad, I need you to pick me up. Bring your wallet, please?”

Yumi raised an eyebrow at the name displayed on her phone as it rang. She couldn't believe it. After months without much conversation between them—supposedly he was "busy"—he was giving her a call. [break][break]

Sen never called her. [break][break]

"Pick you up?" she echoed, wondering why the hell he needed her help for that. "Can't you call a Corviknight taxi? Why do you need me?" She paused as the last part of his request sunk in. "Did someone rob you? Where are you right now?" [break][break]

Despite her voiced resistance, she was already moving through her office in Casino Starlight, heels clicking against the hardwood floor. With the phone on speaker, she pulled on her coat and grabbed her purse.

How humiliating was this?

It was worse enough that he had to call Yumi for help... she had to go and pick up the phone like this. He almost wished she had ignored him. Let him rot, right? He grit his teeth, sucking in a breath. It wasn't like he hadn't dealt with humiliation before. Some might even argue he had a thing for it.

So, really, he should just get this over with.

"Uhhh no I can't... I can't corviknight taxi my way out of this." Maybe he could just give her the address and let her figure it out on the way. At least then he could be saved from what had to be the most excruciating preach of his life.

"I'm in prison??? Help, please."

Yumi was grateful she was in the elevator when Sen finally confessed his location. "Prison?!" she shrieked. "What the fuck did you do?! Which prison?!" [break][break]

Logic told her that he was likely at a police station instead. Officers of the law couldn't just throw people into a detention center or correctional facility without a trial or hearing; that was illegal. But they could detain their arrests in holding cells until they finished processing. [break][break]

As soon as Sen gave her the name of the city, Yumi said, "I'm on my way. I'll call a criminal defense lawyer for you, too. Just stay put, and don't do anything stupid." [break][break]

She hung up, her heart hammering at a breakneck pace in her chest. Her brain was scrambling for the lessons her parents had taught her about legal procedures. Back in Johto, the Hasegawas had corrupt lawyers in their pockets who could handle any situation for them, but in Hoenn, she had no one. [break][break]

When the elevator stopped and the doors slid open, Yumi hurried through the casino lobby and down the front steps. At the street corner, she hailed a taxi. After sliding into the back seat and giving instructions to the Corviknight, she logged in to Team Rocket's database on her phone and looked through their network of resources. [break][break]

Fifteen minutes later, she stepped out of the taxi. Calm and collected, she strode up to the front doors of Slateport's lower district police station.

He held the phone away from his ear to make distance between him and the well-timed screech on the other end. "Okay, well not prison exactly. It's grimy and everyone smells like piss and I don't like it." There used to be benefits to his name. He could simply name himself and no cop would dare arrest him no matter how stupid his actions might have been. Then again, he never truly got off scot-free. Prison might have been a kindness in comparison to what his father used to call him or how much nagging he was about to get from Yumi.

Sen laughed, "Oh it was silly really. A big misunderstanding, really. I mean it." Even as he said it, he grimaced. It was over-played. He needed to work on his acting skills, but it had been awhile since he'd done anything quite like this. No one believed him anyways.

"It was just a little miscommunication. I wouldn't even call it a fight or anything. A... skirmish.. that's the word." Drunk and disorderly, resisting arrest, public indecency. That wasn't so bad right? Barely a misdemeanor. "Slate city, lower district I guess."

Over his shoulder, he spied the other guy who was completely at fault for all of this and gave him a kind little birdy. Said angry little man started shouting at him from the holding cell.

"Anyways..." The line was dead. "She hung up on me... rude."

Sen looked back to the officer and then to the holding cell. "Shit, I don't have to go back in there do I?"

As Yumi walked into the police station, heels clicking, she repeated Sen's words in her head. A miscommunication. A little fight. Gods, had he picked a fight with someone on the street? [break][break]

Glancing around the precinct, she spotted a cop entering data into a computer and strode up to him. "Hello, excuse me. I'm here to pick up my brother, ," she said, keeping her tone pleasant despite the disgust rising in her throat. [break][break]

The cop directed her to a colleague, the actual officer who'd arrested her cousin. Unfortunately, the resulting exchange was lengthier than she'd hoped for. The lawyer—someone deep in Team Rocket's pocket and familiar with these incidents—arrived after five minutes and took over the conversation. Yumi sat beside him, listening intently, taking mental notes. [break][break]

Eventually, the police released Sen from the cell and let him sit with Yumi while the lawyer finalized his processing. [break][break]

"They're letting you go," she explained. "The crimes you were arrested for are relatively minor so they're slapping you with a fine, which I've already paid." She wrinkled her nose at him. "Seriously, though? Public indecency?"

The timing could not have been better, which was so annoyingly like . She was perfect. Every second of every day, scraping him up like a piece of shit on the bottom of her immaculate heels. It wasn't like he was complaining, considering he was two seconds from a black eye. Everyone would agree that a pretty face like his didn't deserve that.

The fluorescents flickered, reminding him of the hangover still pulsing behind his eyes.

Sen thumbed the sunglasses over his eyes after they were promptly returned to him, along with the empty billfold and his watch. "I'm still hungover, can we keep the judgment to a low. It's really negatively affecting my mental state." He was full of shit, of course. "You should try it though, Yu, live a little. You're always so serious."

Admittedly, he was a little suspicious of how easy this had turned out. No consequences? That happened to be exactly how he liked it, which was never how it turned out. "I'm lucky to have you, dear sweet cousin." Might as well kiss ass while he was ahead. "This traumatic experience has made me hungry."

The idea of public indecency utterly repulsed Yumi, and her crinkled nose turned into a scowl. "You're full of shit." [break][break]

She thanked the lawyer and promised to talk with him over the phone to settle payment for his services. Then she grabbed Sen by arm and walked him out of the police station. "We can get food," she relented. [break][break]

Part of her wanted him to continue suffering with his hangover, but another part of her saw this as the perfect opportunity to raise a certain topic. She checked her phone for the nearest place to have a quick meal. [break][break]

"There's a pho restaurant down the street. Let's go." [break][break]

Yumi had half a mind to walk in silence, but she couldn't keep silent on the topic anymore. Glancing at her cousin from the corner of her eye, she said, "I don't know if you've heard, but Grandmother was released from prison, too, not long ago." [break][break]

There was no doubt of which grandmother she meant. Of the three women Yumi and Sen could call by that title, only one had been arrested and sentenced to decades of incarceration. [break][break]

"That may be right, but not about this. You could really benefit from fucking up, just a little bit... I mean I would benefit greatly too, but that's besides the point." He snorted, knowing he would never be lucky enough to witness it if that ever happened. Yumi kept her shit on lockdown. It was no surprise that when he fucked up, his father would tell him to be more like her. Of course, it had a great way of breeding disdain rather than likeness. He had somewhat defrosted a little on any ill-feelings.

It helped that unfortunately he owed his entire livelihood to his cousin and she wasn't about to let him forget that. His failure was allowing it to happen and being too much of a fuck up to change it.

The walk was a little grueling, to be honest, but he made it a point not to complain.

"So let me get this straight... that old bag gets let out of jail after fifty years and you look at me with that expression after fifteen minutes in detention? I'm feeling unfairly judged." Humor had often been a way of skirting uncomfortable topics. He didn't know this lady so it didn't frankly matter to him. It wasn't like he was gonna go calling her granny or anything.

"So have you met her? Does she have like prison tattoos or something? That'd be dope."

Yumi rolled her eyes. "Being charged with first degree murder was the reason Grandfather divorced her, remember? She's not in his will and has to build everything back up from nothing. She's paid plenty for her mistake." [break][break]

But Marilyn did not have nothing, not with Team Rocket supporting her. [break][break]

"Anyway, yes, I've met her. She's here in Hoenn, Sen. And she wants to meet you." Yumi gave him a pointed look, one that conveyed her expectation of his agreement. [break][break]

They reached the pho restaurant. Yumi led the way inside and sat down at a table in the back corner. The menu was a single page of laminated paper, the edges worn with plenty of use. She scanned the scant offerings and ordered a bowl of beef pho when the waiter came by with two glasses of water.

"I'm sure the person she killed would think... differently." Not that he was a beacon of morality. Quite the opposite. Sure, his crimes circled around cyber-theft and not putting on enough clothes in public, but did that really make him all that better? Probably not. Still had never killed anyone, yet. That wasn't worth adding, of course.

Despite that, he still shrugged. "Granny sounds badass then." Sen cringed at that though, she wanted to meet him? "That sounds like a bad idea, considering I generally provoke normal people to consider murder, let alone an actual murderer."

He ordered the item with the most amount of chili peppers to indicate the heat level and nursed his head of its residual hangover. "So I guess I can't like call out. 'Sorry Granny Shanks, I've got an appointment'. Although... maybe someone will finally appreciate my shining police record." Not likely.

Yumi shrugged, not caring if took an interest in Sen or not. "I have a feeling that if you tried to avoid her, she'd come looking for you." [break][break]

Despite their grandmother's genial demeanor during their recent first meeting, Yumi had a hunch that Marilyn knew exactly how to get what she wanted from people. Women with their lifestyle did not live long without a certain measure of cunning. [break][break]

"In any case, why bother resisting? It's just a meeting." Yumi took a sip of her water. "It's not like Grandmother is going to ask you for a test of loyalty." [break][break]

She was less certain of that, though. Hasegawas placed huge importance on loyalty, until they didn't.

"Menacing, but I know how to hide when I don't want to be found." That wasn't necessarily the point he was going for. Mostly, he didn't actually care. If the old bags wanted to seek him out, she was welcome to bust her old knees trying. There was humor in that. In reality, he didn't mix well with old blood, especially from their family.

The only thing he did well was start fires and never put them out. If anything, granny shanks would end up murdering him for the insult of irritating her. Could he risk that? As their food was set down, he decided he'd rather eat than answer her question.

Sen offered her a grated look through a mouthful of noodles. "Yeah because that is totally out of the realm of possibility with our family." He gave a one armed shrug, "Fine, send the crone my way and I'll try to be cordial."
