Bakura ran down the hall to his friends' apartment, banging on the door. "Alastair-oniichan! Kiryuu-kun! Saitou-san! Are you in there?!"

Bakura holds up his com showing the post that had just been made. "Saitou-san and Kiryuu-kun, where are they? The police are coming looking for them! What's going on?!"

"What? Wait..."

Alastair dashed down to his room to get his own comm and check - sure enough, no sign of the post. "What the crap? Did they actually block me?! I...hang on. Let me see that, Bakura. Can I?"

Bakura nodded, holding it out. "I don't know-- it didn't show up on yours?"

"No, it's not on mine at all." Alastair offered him his own comm in return, while he quickly skimmed the threads. "....shit. Shit shit shit shit I knew this was going to happen..."

He took a deep breath and let it out in a short sigh. "Bakura, the cops are on their way. You and I are the only ones here, so they're gonna talk to us."

Bakura stared a moment. "Only--" His eyes widened. ".. superbowl. Hiruma-kun and everyone are--"

His hands started to shake slightly.

Alastair tossed aside their comms and grabbed Bakura by the shoulders to steady him. "Now hang on. Don't freak out on me now. Just...let me handle it, all right? You don't know anything about where Saitou and Kyosuke might have gone anyway, and I'm not gonna tell you. Not right now. Besides."

He looked sideways at the comms on the couch, now. "...anything you need to know is in that police post. We'll talk about it later."

Bakura nodded, making a visible effort to pull himself together, reaching up to cling to Alastair's shirt slightly as he did so. "Why now..." he asked in a small voice that was still a bit shaky. "I-- if you need it, I have Aoshi-san's comm, you can have it, just in case.. just in case of something like this again."

He had to think about that for a second. "Maybe. I don't know - I'll worry about it later. Right now, just...here, sit down before you fall down." He had to go and close the door, anyway, and make it look like they weren't in here conspiring over anything. Aome had come to investigate the door and sat at the end of the hallway, staring at them and lashing her tail a bit.

Bakura nodded, sitting down slowly, half hiding his face in his hands, trying to further pull himself together and stop worrying. Kiryu and Saitou could take care of themselves, after all... right?

Jono had met with Cole outside of Hell Towers, and the two of them had taken the long elevator ride to the tenth floor. Saitou's apartment was just down the hallway, and Jono knocked immediately, standing back just in case. No telling what Hajime - or his friends - might do.

"Police, open up!"

Cole stood behind him a little further back, hands in his pockets.

This was gonna be an ass-ton of fun, he could just feel in his little grumpy bones. Still felt weird to do all this cop-ey things for some reason, despite him being here so long, but he was here.

"Careful." He added quietly.

Alastair took another deep breath and let it out before going to answer the door. When he opened it, his face was as blank as ever. "Yeah?" he wondered casually. "What's going on?"

[[looks up from the couch, heart racing. But on the outside, he just looked more less as he had the previous night: distraught over the brutal murder of one of his close friends]]

The door swung open, and Jono looked into the face of Alistair for the second time in 24 hours. Behind him, Jono could make out a fluffy white head; the distraught healer from the night before. Oh, this would go well.

"We're looking for Saitou Hajime," Jono said honestly, but didn't add the part about the arrest warrant. Not yet. Part of him still couldn't believe they were doing this.

"Have you seen him?"

Cole really had no idea what to expect, especially looking at these two. He kept his hands in his pockets and stayed quiet, but gave Alastair a brief nod just to show he was with Jono.

Nodding back, Alastair shifted out of the way in case the two wanted to come inside. He recognized Jono, at least. "I don't know where Saitou is, no," he said, rather honestly. "I haven't seen him since we all went to work yesterday morning."

Bakura got up, eyes wide. "He's not-- he's not at work...?" he asked, walking over, still a little shaky as he looked between Jono and Cole. "Something-- something didn't happen to him, did it?!" There was an edge of worried panic in his voice which he didn't even really need to fake.

Jono didn't really have the heart to answer Bakura directly; the kid was a wreck, seemed like.

"Mind if we come in?" He asked Alistair instead. It was doubtful Saitou was here, and it seemed the two blokes had no clue about what had happened, never mind that they might be harbouring him, but Jono and Cole had a duty to fulfill.

"We just need to ask a few questions." Cole added quickly, pretty much thinking along the lines Jono was.

"Yeah, sure," Alastair shrugged, putting an arm around Bakura's shoulders to guide him out of the way of the bigger guys. "It's just me and Bakura here - I'm looking after him, after what happened last night...with Blue."

He shot Jono a meaningful look. "...should we be worried? Is he right, did something happen?"

Bakura leaned in to the half embrace, seeming to almost be half hiding against his brother as he let himself be guided. "He's-- he's not--" he broke off, as if he just couldn't finish his sentance.

Jono followed Alistair inside, but didn't sit down: regardless, he tried not to loom too much.

"You might want to have a seat for this," he told the boys, then looked over at Cole and back.

"D'you mind if Officer MacGrath takes a look around?"

Jono wanted out of there. He was no good in these situations.

Cole followed in, taking his hands out of his pockets this time and rubbing his hands idly.

He gave Jono a brief 'wait, what' look before simply shrugging and nodding. These things weren't much of his forte either, especially having never been a police officer in his life. He never had to question anybody like this, much less search somebody's house. Was there some kind of 'right way' to do it, besides shuffling around...?

He looked at the others expectantly.

Best he kept his mouth shut in case he said something stupid.

Alastair looked from Jono to Cole with a slight sense of suspicion, but there wasn't anything he was hiding. Kiryu and Saitou hadn't even been back to grab clothes or bags or anything, they were just gone as if out for the day. "Yeah, I guess," he said without hesitating too long. "Just don't let the cat get out, she's around here somewhere."

He made Bakura go back and sit on the couch again. "Now. What's so big and important? What the hell's going on?"

Bakura was shaking a little as he went to sit, looking to be barely keeping himself together as he expected to hear the worst possible outcome.
