Got a bite. It's show time, hope you're hungry.


Action: After the sting at Espresso Yourself things had fallen quiet again. By now quiet was worrying, instead of signalling peace and a break from madness Tony had come to associate the quiet with an impending shitstorm. With luck, and a good bit of skill, maybe he'd be able to cut this one off before things got unbearably messy. That was the plan, anyway.

Shou's contacts had given Tony a lead or two, and that coupled with his own ever increasing hunter's instincts he'd finally tracked down his quarry: The modified human that had been made to look like him.

After shooting a quick text to the both of them (he couldn't give them more time as much as he would have liked to) he began to move in. Storm clouds rumbled ominously overhead, briefly distracting Tony. Something about all of this was weirdly familiar, and unsettling. He adjusted the sword on his shoulder, shoved aside the anticipation causing a funny knot in his gut, and began to move in. Now he knew he spotted the guy around there somewhere. He couldn't have gotten too far, could he?

Hajime gives Shou a reluctant nod. "If you're sure...then I'll bring him to the clinic." And to Luca, he adds, "If you try to run, we'll hunt you down, and there is no place to hide." He revs the engine on the bike as he prepares to drive off. "I'm in tight with the Lord of the Bugmen. If you go anywhere in this city a roach can get to, he'll know and track you down in a heartbeat. And he'd do it, too. Dude owes me a favor."

"I'm sure. You don't put a piece of steak in front of a starving lion and tell that lion it can't eat."

Just get going already, Hajime. Shou was already heading towards the school, pondering whether to take to the roofs or just put Tony in his car and drive off. He at least had room in the car for an unconscious teen so long as said teen didn't demon out on him.

"I'm taking him home. We can meet up on the way there."

"Man, I'm not gonna try to run!" Luca insisted, on the verge of hysteria as he raised his green-tinged hands, wincing at the way it affected his damaged ribs. "Just... fuck, if Albero finds out where I am I'm in deep shit... man, uh, I don't know if it's a good idea."

"Alright." Hajime revved the engine of the bike and spun it around to leave. "I'll meet you there." And with that, he drove off, though he couldn't resist popping a wheelie as he did so, just to shake Luca up.

"Show off," he said, shaking his head as Hajime pops another wheelie. Then looking down at Tony, he sighed and shifted his grip a little before marching on to where he parked his car. Carry him was not an option any more, especially since he wasn't sure just how much damage the bullet did. He didn't want to scramble the brains even more than they had been.

Enjoy yourself some dead weight, Shou. Devil Trigger takes a lot out of Tony, he'll be good and quiet for a little while at least.
