Four o'clock in the morning found Takuma laying awake in bed. He'd been trying for the past couple of hours to fall asleep but sleep wouldn't come. He blamed this solely on the fact that he had to be up, showered, dressed and out the door in less than five hours.

Turning over, he gave a sigh in frustration.

On the pillow next to him, Mister Kitty was tucked into bed, sleeping soundly. She half purred, half snored in her sleep. Takuma couldn't help but think 'aww' but he was still jealous that Mister Kitty wasn't have issues with insomnia.

Climbing out of bed, he made his way to the kitchen to get something to drink. Some hot tea, herbal of course, would help calm his nerves and help Takuma to sleep he decided and set to boil some water.

As he reached into the cupboard for a box of sleepy time tea, Takuma knocked his cell phone to the floor. He had no idea how it wound up in with the tea but he assumed it had everything to do with Mister Kitty.

Shrugging at the thought, he reached down and picked up the small black flip phone. It was too early in the morning to give anyone in the city a call and ask to chat, however there was a six hour time difference between New York and London, and he was sure it was late enough in the morning over there to give Breton a call. It had been a long time since he spoke to his friend and thought what better time to give him a ring than now.
