Since I didn't show them all in one panel together, I want to make something clear to avoid confusion for the rest of the chapter. There are three bandits here, Kylie, Sean, and Evan. Evan's the one with the gun and hat, and Kylie has the breasts. ;-) Sean is the one tying Yuki's hands.
I also want to mention that Kylie and Sean are intended to be the same robbers from Chapter 12. They didn't have faces or names then, though. It really isn't important. Either way, Tristan knows these two (but not their companion).
One note from RL… My sister is now on her way to Japan. I'm sending her wishes for a pleasant and safe flight and hope the culture shock doesn't hit her too hard. It's weird to think that I'm not going to see her for a LONG time. We've been roommates/housemates for over 20 years. (I have a really close family. ^_^ )
n_y_japlander: Talking about money always summons misfortune. XD
amanda: Jeff's one of those long-running mysteries. Since my skills at drawing settings is lacking, I use him mainly to indicate (or remind of) the scene location – a handy trick/shortcut/cop-out.
LanceDanger: Yes indeed. Generally speaking, this group does not make for nice obedient hostages. XD
Peipei: She was mostly addressing Kaida but probably included Yuki too. Violet is a cultured prude. lol
JNP: They were standing together when ordered to the floor, but the arm didn't necessarily have to go around her. ;-) Tristan's “instincts” are giving him away.
trevoramueller: lol. Your touchy feely world is alien to me, but I am most amused by the customs of human courtship. ^_^
Priest_Revan: Thanks.

Hah. They didn't scout this area or anything before trying to rob? =P

Laura and I are very affectionate, and people tend to get sick of it - especially if they don't have someone to be affectionate with when around us. So, what's the point of robbers wearing masks when the characters know who they are? I mean, they're clearly not the greatest at subterfuge. ;)

Hope for Yuki's sake that he does not go through her purse and find ID... sorry to give bad news... but the culture shock will hit your sister when she clears the gate! Japan is an interesting place, but after the 14 hour flight, she is instore for a long bus ride, and it is too cool to sleep on the bus... I mean Japan looks like one BIG city with no end, on the road! (^O^)

Now that's embarrassing, to have one of your hostages recognise you by voice ;)

Best of luck to your sister =3

Smart girl, Yuki! Smaaaaart. It must be one blow after another to Tristan's self esteem that no one takes his criminal side seriously =]

Hmmm...Sarah? o.O I think it's a good idea that she didn't say Yuki, for reasons i'm not sure of yet. But anyway, I wouldn't go around saying my name infront of robbers anyway :3 Well, atleast someone recognizes these guys atleast xD
