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

Nyrah crashing now - Cole can take over if you don't wanna put it on hold

"And Saitou, instead of acting lawfully and using that evidence, took the law into his own hands and made a bad situation worse," Jono said tightly, trying not to lose his temper. Everything was falling apart right now.

"'The commissioner' is my friend," he continued carefully. "And friend to many others in the City. Saitou needs to be found, if only for his own safety." All the vengeance killing of the past week had sucked the City into a never-ending spiral, it seemed.

"Is he -" Jono looked with alarm over at Bakura. "Is he alright?"

That's okay, I might crash soon too just so you guys know.

Cole had his back turned for most of those pieces of the conversation, just listened as he worked. So far, nothing. Nothing in this room. He was about to move over to another room, before Jono pointed out what Bakura was doing.

"...?"

His frowned deepened when he saw it, but he tried to soften his expression a bit before walking over and lightly nudging Bakura's shoulder.

"Hey."

no worries. just tag when you tag, but we'll skip Baku for IC reasons

[hackeralastair]

"Hey, leave him alone!" Alastair put himself quickly between Bakura and the two cops, squeezing his shoulder gently. "He's been through a lot. After last night...this is probably just worse news on top of everything else."

He frowned at the two bigger men. "I told you Saitou's not here, and I don't know where he is. If you're not looking for something specific, then I think maybe you should leave pretty soon before Bakura completely shuts down. He's freaked out."

[shiromadoushi]

Bakura leaned in slightly at the squeeze, but didn't seem to react to the poke, almost as if, to him, Alastair was the only person in the room.

[[OoC: At this point, his brain is just filtering out anyone but Alastair and he's not gonna respond to anything in English, so he's pretty skipable]]

"Let's search the apartment quick and get out of here," Jono said to Cole under his breath, stepping back to give the boys some room. They really weren't giving any indications of harbouring Saitou, much less fully comprehending what was going on, and he really didn't feel like arguing any more with Alastair.

"Look, is he going to need any help?" Jono addressed Alastair, looking with concern over at Bakura. "We can get him to the hospital right quick; he doesn't look so good."

whoops, sorry! I just woke up.

[imonabike.livejournal.com]

"..." Okay, bad idea on his part. Cole gave Bakura one last concerned look before holding a hand up in mock defeat.

"I will." Cole took a hint and went off quick to continue his searching.

is all good :D

[hackeralastair]

"It's all right," Alastair grumbled. "He's...just traumatized or something. I'll take care of him." His anger was ebbing, so he just gave Jono a look over his shoulder. But he didn't tell them which room was his and which belonged to Saitou and Kiryu - he decided to let them figure that out for themselves. Nothing in his room violated any laws anyway, and aside from some socks on the floor, wasn't all that embarrassing either.

no worries 8D

[jonocalypse.livejournal.com]

"Just traumatized?" Jono lifted an eyebrow. "Look, d'you still have those references for grief counselling I gave last night? It might be a good idea to contact one of them."

With that, Jono took off to help Cole with searching; the kitchen and bathroom yielded nothing and he joined Cole in searching the last bedroom, with similar results.

To be honest, he wasn't quite sure what they were looking for; either Saitou himself, or corroborating evidence of the erstwhile Lieutenant's planned subordination, or any pieces of paper saying "Dear Journal, today I murdered Cavil." No such incriminating documents appeared to be present, at any rate.

"Waste of time." Cole murmured quietly to himself, now that those kids weren't within an earshot. He glanced over at Jono. "Lassiter wants me to report to him when we get back. I'll let him know."

[hackeralastair]

Alastair, meanwhile, moved the comms aside and sat down next to Bakura, rubbing his knee in encouragement. There wasn't anything he could say until the cops left, but he wanted to make sure his "little brother" knew he was there and not leaving.

[shiromadoushi]

Bakura reached out, putting a hand on Alastair's and clinging to it. "Oniichan..." he said in a very soft and almost distant voice.

Blargh sorry for the delay

[jonocalypse.livejournal.com]

"Right," Jono said to Cole. "There's not much else we can do here, mate. We'd be best off going back."

He hoped they would catch Saitou soon; he owed the bloke a punch in the teeth after all of this.
