	"Your government is accusing you of treason, Mr. Fang," Franklin replies. "Perhaps you would like to see the video for yourself?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"What!?" His initial reaction is shock, though there is also some fear and trepidation in his voice. "Yes..yes I would." He watches the video again, lowering his head in regret when he saw the officials killed. "Damn it..I knew those men. The elder was Han Xu. He recommended me for the JLI and has supported the team in the Party. The other man was his deputy, Bai Min. The location is here in America. It is where I would give him my status reports on the team's missions. I was to report in that day, but it was cancelled..or so I was told." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Do you have anyone who can vouch for your location at the time this video would have been recorded?" Dinadan asks, face impassive. "Preferably someone outside the team, if only because we might be considered inclined to protect you." He loves most of these people, and he does trust all of them with his life, but sometimes they are just really not helpful in actually getting things done. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, I mean, obviously the appointment still happened, so that might look kind of bad. Who told you it was cancelled anyway? Maybe they know something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No, I was on my way to the meeting when I received the call that it was cancelled. I was wearing nondescript clothes to prevent recognition," he explained to Din. He looks at Pippi. "Jia Wong, Han Xu's superior in the Party." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Does he have anything against you that would make him want to do something like this," Cian asks, "Cause it sounds like someone high up like that could pull something together like this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No, I've never even met the man," Xian answered Cian. He looks over at Lizzy before sighing, not really being able to argue that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Maybe..maybe I can get them to agree to have Mr. Fang held at an embassy. Keep him in the United States until an official investigation is completed," Franklin offered. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That would be a good idea. Why does China want to pull Xian's skin off, anyway?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Can I pull their skins off?" Dex asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No one is pulling skin off!" He yelled in a combination of exaperation and nerves. "I'm sorry..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"No, you're right, no one is pulling anyone's skin off," Dinadan says. "One, because it's not going to happen to Xian; and two, because we are already negotiating a tricky international incident and we do not need a second on top of that." The latter is said in the sort of voice that implies that the first person to get involved in any skinning was going to fed to bullet ants. Dinadan's not going to say that out loud in front of the Woman from T.H.U.N.D.E.R. He nods to Ms. Franklin. "Please, see what you can do on that front. We'll see what we can do to figure out what happened." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There's one more thing. The bulding's senors are probably picking up on them as we speak, but T.H.U.N.D.E.R. personnel are surrounding the Hall," she informed, packing up her things. "I apologize, but we must remain certain that Mr. Fang remains here. We trust you, but we have to show China we are not being biased in the JLI's favor." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Petra folds her arms across her chest. "Xian, what's in the reports you've been giving on our missions? Would messing up the chain of information be a big enough motivator for someone to want to railroad you like this?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Only what occurs on our missions. As far as I know, my appointment was twofold: One, for my country to have a presence on this team, and two, to make certain the United States is not using this team as a front for secret operations," Xian explained. "Maybe the lack of anything..juicy, I believe is the term, is causing certain parties to question the effectiveness of my appointment. Of course there are any number of political agendas out there. I try not to involve myself too much in them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Franklin was on the phone as the team spoke to each other. "Very well. Thank you for your consideration." She hangs up. "They have agreed to allow Mr. Fang in the United States so long as he remains at the Chinese Embassy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"In other words, they are legally not allowing him in the United States." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Lizzy, it's okay. ..These are my countrymen. If I don't do this, I would just confirm my guilt in the eyes of many. I will go..it is my duty," Xian affirmed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
