Erru froze. They had killed one of the children, and taken two more away. "It's my fault for coming here and talking to you that this happened... Sorry guys, but I think I'm going to have to give up pretending to be one of them and go get those girls back. Stay quiet and on guard. If any one of you is a traitor, I want you to stand up now. Because if I find out later that one of you is responsible for the death of an innocent child and didn't come forward, I can't say I'll show any compassion." She knelt beside the motionless form of the small child, closing his eyes and wrapping her scarf around his throat to cover his wound. Tears were forming in her eyes, and she turned to hide them. She couldn't show weakness now... "To commit a crime is punishable, but to take a life... that's unforgivable!" Erru turned, her eyes dark with anger. She looked at Phi. "Take care of them. You've got your wits about you in a time like this. If they come back, please..." Erru glanced at the body of the child. "Don't let them do something like this. I know it's wrong to ask you to risk your lives for perfect strangers who may not do the same for you, but if we can't trust and protect one another, we are truly alone in this." She went to the door and knocked three times. "Hey, Colt, I need a break to use the facilities." Colt laughed from behind the door. "You can't hold it long enough to see these brats through their stay?" He swung the door open. "Honestly, this is why women-" Erru punched him in the face and took his legs out from under him, pressing on his throat to knock him unconscious. "You can tie him up if you want. I don't care anymore if he lives..." She took the gun and holster from his belt, attaching it to her own and standing. "Looks like this is going to be a high-profile operation." She grinned, jammed her hat down over her eyes, put on Colt's coat, and headed out the door, wrenching the camera down and stomping on it on the way out. She also locked the door using Colt's key, which she slid under the door. "Depending on who's got a key, it may take them a while to get in. If you can do something to reach the window, do it. If not, remember, you guys have nothing to do with me." She started down the hall, hand on her pistol...

Yup. I never have xD I'm thinking 3. 1- I love pop music~ 2- My little sister is my best friend~ 3- I didn't dance at prom~

"I'm Erru, a detective-in-training, I guess. I followed the car here... And I'm going to gather evidence to get these people in jail and find a way to get you guys out of here. You guys lay low, act helpless or whatever you need to do to get them to let their guard down. But if they try to move you out of this building and separate you, put up a fight. I wouldn't trust these kinds of people to leave you alive, and together you've got a good chance. There are a few ways we can go about ending this..." She looked at each person as she spoke, lowering her voice in case Colt was outside. "Option One: We can do recon, gather evidence, and sneak out. I'd get rid of the guard, and you'd be out. But the culprits could come back for you if we didn't work quickly and get the police involved. Option Two: I find a way to separate, disarm, and restrain the kidnappers, we have them arrested, and you're liberated by the police. Option Three: I create a distraction after handing off the needed info, you get out and call the police, and we hope none of them get away. Of the plans, the second is the most likely to result in their arrests, and puts you at the least risk, but me taking down everybody on my own would be impossible. I'm thinking if we go with that one I knock out Colt, switch one of you guys with him, and when the others get back, claim he left you in his place for now. That person could help me. Any volunteers or other ideas?" Erru took the steno pad from her pocket and jotted down a few sentences. "I'm sure there are safer, more logical ways to do this, but frankly, anything we do against these guys is a risk, and I'm not letting them hurt you guys."

Nothing to guess? ... 1- I've had my dog for 9 years~ 2- I've never broken a bone~ 3- I've confessed feelings to someone one time~

Rye-chan~ ^^

Have a Doctor Who fan moment, then go back to the moment you asked the question and answer with, "I already did." xD What would you do if your favorite star ended up staying at your house?

xP Touya is awesomer. (You'll meet her soon, if you haven't. I don't remember when she's introduced or reintroduced... I'd say Anubis, but I'm not that mean~ xP Nanami-sensei~

*hugs* thanks. xD

Erru listened to the boy as he spoke, thinking about the case. If she freed them and they got away, then what? Would they go to the police? And if any members saw her helping them, she wouldn't be in the best of health. With a nod, Erru replied, "I'll investigate the kidnapping, transactions, and members of the group. But if anything happens and I don't come back, I want you to get them out of here." She tossed her knife, now folded, to the boy, asking, "What's your name?"

I'd move in with a detective and his kid and solve cases~~! What if your clothes were made of fruit rollups?

*dies*

*avoids hug of doom*
