[Open rl - FEEL FREE TO VISIT] backdated to the 27

[clockmaster]

His father was talking about something or other. He would usually be paying attention, yet there were times when he did get lost in his thoughts, today was one of those days. He was lost in his thoughts looking to Aoko on the other side of the room sleeping in the bed, even if he was as tired as her, Hakuba was fully awake and couldn't sleep at all.

Kenji stopped talking realizing that he wasn’t paying attention. The silence however brought Hakuba back to reality and he was ready to apologize, but his father smiled and stood up. Kenji kissed his bandaged forehead carefully and murmured something about the case. The guards on the door of their room saluted his father as he went out to attend the paperwork as fast as possible.

Hakuba looked at the ceiling, careful not to move his broken arm much, and sighed.

Tyki glanced over his shoulder and returned the smile. "Feel better soon, Saguru," he said gently, then vanished back out through his wall.

[dressedinmelody]

"You'd better be," she retorted, although without any real heat. "I'm fine. I'm just going to shoot Kid next time I see him."

Hakuba frowned at her answer. "What he did?"

He was going to kill the thief if he tried something funny with her.

[dressedinmelody]

"He knocked me out!!" was the incensed reply. "I was trying to help find you two and the jerk knocked me out with some kind of gas!"

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

“What?” he demanded angrily. Kid-san was o so death... “Where where you when that happened?"

[agent-86-smart.livejournal.com]

"Well..." Max leaned close, "Least you where in one piece."

Smart nodded, "Yes.. I had a feeling it may had have something to do with her. But what did they do? The org?"

Hakuba leaned back, resting his back on the pillows."Long story short, Vermouth kidnapped Aoko and me and leave us on an isolate place with a bomb as company. She was playing a game with the other detectives, leaving them clues about our location and more bombs along the way."

[dressedinmelody]

"I was at our house." Alize folded her arms tightly, an expression partway between scowling and sulking on her face. "Right after I got back from Koto."

She seemed sufficiently irritated to not notice her use of the word 'our'.

"That bastard... "Hakuba murmured under his breath, barely audible. "...messing with my family..." the next murmur was something about a tank fish and a chair.

"Koto?" he questioned.

[dressedinmelody]

"I was looking for you guys." Alize's voice quieted, remembering how angry and worried she'd been. "There were some suspicious guys in black hanging around the neighbourhood, so I tracked them down to Koto."

[agent-86-smart.livejournal.com]

Max mouthed, as if he had suspected as much. "Yes, but why did she kidnap you and Aoko?"

Eyes, almost popping out of his sockets in surpise; "You don't know how to disarm a bomb?!"

Smart was rather surpised, either that or they both tied up somehow.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

"Because she wanted to make a point to Kid-san." Hakuba looked at Max in surprise. "You know how? Aoko and I were handcuffed, but even if we where, I'm not sure if I would know how to disarm one."

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

"You could have gotten hurt ..." Hakuba replied, his anger gone, sounding worried now.

[agent-86-smart.livejournal.com]

"Oh." Max said in dismay. "Handcuffs are the easiest thing to escape from. Like a magic trick."

Pausing, "Well, it would had been worse." Max said reassuring.

Then adding, "Of course I do. After all. We are trained in these things." Max leaned real close to Hakuba as he finished that sentence.

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

"Kid -san is always doing that, I noticed." Hakuba nearly-but-not-really- pouted. "I still can not do it."

"I need more training, I guess." Hakuba's 's expression softened and he smiled to him. "You're a man of many talents, Max."

[agent-86-smart.livejournal.com]

Max smiled, "Prehaps, when you get out of this place, you could come over to my apartment and I could teach you a thing or two. How does that sound?"

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

"Sounds great, as long as your apartment is not full of traps." Hakuba joked. "You live on Washington right?"

[agent-86-smart.livejournal.com]

Max paused, nervous. "I'll make a note to deactivate them."

Smart nodded, "Apartment '86'."


^{(Its in so unnamed apartment building, somewhere near HQ, so say he gave him the details?)}

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

Hakuba looked at him deadpanned...he really had them at home? "T..thanks. I use Doyle as security system..." He murmured and then smiled.

"Nice number, you chose it?"

(ok! <3)

[agent-86-smart.livejournal.com]

Max blinked, "What?" Folllowed by a head shake.

"No, it was just by chance." Smart paused and thought about the hint of irony, his beady eyes looking shocked.

^{(Should I set up the RL?)}

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

"Nothing Max, nothing at all.." Hakuba shrugged and looked away for a moment. Then he smiled at Max surprised expression. "I think it fits you."

(ooc. yes please ^^')

[dressedinmelody]

"I was fine." Predictably, the infamous stubbornness returned, and Alize started to sound irritated. She'd already had this talk with Kid. What was with guys and being overprotective? "I was doing that before for years. I know how to get around without being seen."

Though not in a wheelchair, she added silently to herself. Not that she'd let Hakuba hear that out loud. Besides, she'd managed, hadn't she?

[clockmaster.livejournal.com]

At the girl reaction, Hakuba just smiled. There was that small reaction of Alizé that make her sound like Akako.

"You're right, sorry." He was always surprised of how strong they coudl be, and he was happy for that. "You never thought on becoming a police?"

[dressedinmelody]

The singer blinked several times, obviously taken aback by the question. "N-no, not really."

The thought hadn't ever crossed her mind, in all honesty. She didn't really think of herself as law enforcement material, having spent most of her life in a city where it was correupt.

[agent-86-smart.livejournal.com]

Max eyes wondered, did he tell him what his number was? No, he didn't remember saying that.
"Thank you." Giving a winning smile

^{(The number '86' comes from a bar term a guy would yell out, '86, he's had enough!' And here's the RL (http://agent-86-smart.livejournal.com/5741.html) ~ Looks of LOL ensured :D)}
