T followed Dianne into the lunar cat's quarters where Luna and Artemis were curled up together on the coach.
"Dianne what are you doing up! I put you to bed almost an hour ago!" Luna scowled climbing to her feet
"Hello T, I'll just be a minute," Luna said shooing her daughter back towards bed
"Bwye Tee," Dianne called over her shoulder as she skipped down the hall towards her room.
"What's up T?" Artemis asked, standing from his spot on the coach
"I just wanted to ask you and Luna something about the registry,"
"The registry?"
"I met a family, while I was pretending to be a civilian, who havn't seen their daughter since the rising,"
"But everyone was accounted for after the rising we checked ourselves," Luna said joining them again
"Even some that were listed in the police's missing person's database," Artemis added quite proud of that fact
"What about the ones who followed the black moon?" T asked
"All their families were notified and a database was created on the internet that people could enter their name into and it who let them know if any of their family members were amongst the black moon followers, in case we couldn't contact anyone," Luna explained
"So there's no way this girl could actually be missing because of the rising?" T sighed
"No, do you know her name? I can do a search for you if you'd like," Artemis offered
Realizing that if Artemis ran a search he would find the Tuskinos in he archive he quickly declined
"No thanks Artemis I'm not really sure what her name was,"
"Well if you find out let me know and I'll have a look,"
"Alright thanks, I'll get going and let you guys get some sleep,"T said turning towards the door.
"It's getting late, you should head off to bed too," Luna replied
"Yes Aunty Luna," T teased and Luna thumped him over the head as he headed out the door.
"G'Night," he called as Luna closed the door
"Night,"
Upon reaching the archives again, after being stopped several times to talk to various people through the palace, it was near midnight and no one was around to see him slip into the archives.
"How's the search going? Sorry I took so long," T said entering
Everyone was sitting on the couches except for Mika who was still at the computers. Sammy was feeding Selene and Kenji and Ikuko had carried some of the book down the stairs so they could sit and read them comfortably.
"Not good, we still haven't found a thing," Kenji sighed
"I've still got one more place I'll search, she has to be somewhere," T said taking a seat at a computer and using his high level security clearance to access the black moon records, though he hoped for their sake and the missing girls that he wouldn't find her there.
By four thirty in the morning Ikuko and Kenji had fallen asleep on the couches and Mika had traded places with Sammy and was curled up asleep on another couch with Selene.
Sammy and T were both barely awake still searching through the archives on the computers.
"T, I wanted to thank you for all of this," Sammy said softly so he didn't wake anyone
"Don't worry about it it's the least I can do,"
"Why though,"
"She seemed familiar to me and I couldn't stand the thought of loosing a member of my family,"
"What's your family like?" Sammy asked
"You know, mum always worries, dad always stressing about work, and I've got a little sister too but she only one,"
"That's a bit of an age difference how old are you?"
"25," plus 300 thought T with a smile
"Huh, you look about 18, I never would have guessed you were older than me," Sammy replied rubbing his eyes tiredly
"How about I go get us some coffee and breakfast, by the time I get it organized and back here it'll be around five thirty, so don't be surprised if I'm gone a while," T said logging off the computer.
"Sounds great the other will probably wake when the sun comes out especially with the huge skylight in here," Sammy replied
By six T still hadn't returned but the others had woken up again.
"I wonder what's taking him so long," Miko muttered while changing Selene's diaper
"He said he'd be back half an hour ago maybe he ran into someone, we aren't supposed to be here after all," Kenji replied picking up another book but froze as the cold steel of a sword pressed against his throat.
"Precisely, whichis why I'm wondering how you got here in the first place" Sailor mercury said icily her magical harp pointed at Miko, Selene and Sammy at the computer
While Zoisite had his blade at Kenji's throat and Ikuko held fast with a stern look.
Before they could answer the door slide open and T walked in carrying a tray full of breakfast.
"Mercury! Zoisite! NO!"
In a flash of gold light both Mercury and Zoicite were disarmed and pushed back and when the light cleared T stood between the Tsukino's and his parents guards.
The Tuskion's gasped as they took in T's new appearance before dropping to their knees in a bow.
No longer looking like the grubby servant with greasy hair, dressed in old black clothes. He was now decked out in dark forest green armor with gold trimming (think Endymion's armor) and a heavy broad sword strapped to his back. His greasy slicked back hair was now clean with a silver shine and fell lightly into his clear midnight eyes.
"Terence what is the meaning of this! You know your mother's law about the archives, it was put in place to protect people so the incident like your grandparents death would never happen again!" Zoicite growled
"I know but I had to help them, they're kind innocent people who just want closure from the disappearance of their daughter! What gives us the right to deny them that!" Terence said taking on a commanding presence.
"If they were really that desperate why didn't they come to the palace and make a request, Mercury or myself would have found her, and there would have been no security breach! You don't even know these people!"
"I do," Mercury whispered,
"What!" Zoicite and Terence blurted turning to face Mercury, her skin was pale and she looked as if she'd seen a ghost
"But they're supposed to be dead, we saw their house it was burnt to nothing but a shell by the dark kingdom we found three burnt bodies inside," Mercury
"You can't think what I think your thinking, their last names Tsukino," Terence replied
"That was her maiden name," Zoicite whispered finally recognizing who it was in front of him.
"All this time we been searching, the answers been right in front of me this whole times and I never even noticed," Terence whispered staring at the Tsukino's in shock.
"You know where our daughter is? Can you take us to Serena?" Ikuko pleaded tears of hope running down her face as she knelt in front of Terence
"Please,"
"Of course, follow us"
