<<Capek: Come on!!

Bodyguard: Are you all right, Mr. Capek?  You don't look so good...

Capek: Oh...

Bodyguard: Sir...  I know this is a rude question,
	but did you kill the Baby, or not?

Capek: What a ridiculous question.

 - Page 121 -

Bodyguards: We're just making sure.
	By the time the sun is rising, news of the Baby's death will be all around.
	Now that he is dead, the balance our organization has managed to maintain will be lost.
	We don't know how things will turn out.
	We are bodyguards.  We will carry out the jobs we were hired to do.
	But, if that was your work...  we have no interest in guarding you.

Capek: Why do you think I ordered you to protect me...
	the moment I heard about the Baby's death?

Bodyguard: Because you felt you would be in danger next...?
	Do you have any idea who might have killed him?

<<Baby: Are we really controlling what Johan does?

Capek: What is to be afraid of...?  (tremble)
	Everything is going according to plan...  (tremble)(tremble)
	Everything...

Capek: Is proceeding as the program states...

Chapter 137 : Frightening Footsteps

Bodyguard: Very well...  we will escort you to a location where you will be safe.

Capek: I have a villa in Idstein...  nobody knows about it...
	Take me there...  but first...
	The twin sister.
	You said we know where Johan's sister is...

Bodyguard: Yes...  she's here, in Frankfurt.
	At a motel named Tourette.

Capek: Having her under our control
	is the best guarantee of my safety, at this point.

Bodyguard: Then, we'll get her in the morning...

Capek: NO, RIGHT NOW!!

Bodyguard: Very well...

 - Page 125 -

Bodyguard: I've put in a call to have two other men guard you at your house in Idstein.

Capek: Good...

Bodyguard: For some reason, the Baby sent his bodyguards away and went out alone, last night...
	But you've got us.  Don't worry.

Capek: Good...

Bodyguard: You were also kept safe after the shooting at the convention center the other day.

 - Page 126 -

Bodyguard: You're a very lucky man.

<<Capek: Milan...

<<Capek: Milan, listen to me.
	I've met a wonderful man.
	Hello, my name is Peter Capek!!
	I must say that I am completely overwhelmed!!
	Your "reading seminar" was fabulous!!
	Please, would you tell me more about it?!  I want to know about your new...

<<Bonaparta: Here...
	Read this...

<<Bonaparta: It's all drawn in there...

<<Capek: Beautiful...
	Such beautiful children...
	And these children...
	according to Franz Bonaparta's program...
	will be the ones to lead the human race, in the future.

<<Bonaparta: (shk shk)

Capek: Stop...

Bodyguard: What's wrong?
	Your villa should be at the end of this forest road.

Capek: What did you say earlier?

Bodyguard: Huh?

Capek: About two other men guarding me...

Bodyguard: Yes, at the mansion...
	They should be there already.

Capek: And those two...
	Isn't there a possibility they might leak the information?

Bodyguard: Huh?

Capek: Can you ensure that the fact I'm going to my villa isn't now common knowledge?

Bodyguard: Yes...  we can trust these men.

Capek: We're not going there.

 - Page 131 -

Bodyguard: What?!  Wait a minute.
	...where do you want to go, then?

Capek: Anywhere but that villa.

Bodyguard: There's no reason to keep driving around in the middle of the night.

Capek: That's an order.

Bodyguard: Sigh.
	At least you know how to stay cautious...
	Well, let's call the...

Capek: J...
	Johan...

Johan: At the Red Rose Mansion...
	Many people drank that red wine...

 - Page 137 -

Capek: Ka...
	Ga...  ah...

Johan: Don't worry.  Look, I'm drinking it, too.

Capek: (hahh)(hahh)(hahh)
	My bodyguards...
	were supposed to be here...
	(hahh)(hahh)(hahh)

 - Page 138 -

Capek: Why...
	did you kill the Baby?
	We were supposed to be working together...!!
	Y...  you were helping us...
	And we would look for your sister, and bring her to you...

Johan: All according to plan.

Capek: We...
	We already have your sister...

 - Page 139 -

Capek: If anything happens to me, your sister will...!!
	You can't get away with this!!
	Everything has to go by my plan...!!

Johan: What...
	am I...?
	The monster inside of me...
	Wasn't inside of me...
	It was outside...

Capek: What are you trying to say...?!

Johan: Franz Bonaparta...
	is alive, isn't he?
