A Distasteful Reunion
Warden Hideki Kanemoto didn't want to do it, but they couldn't afford to pass up on this chance. After years..the families could finally have closure. He called BH6 headquarters, asking for Agent Sunset.

	"This is Agent Sunset," Amiko said when she got to the phone. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	nextgen_citizen 2012-01-12 08:11 pm UTC (link)
	"Agent..this is Warden Kanemoto of Tokyo Asylum. We met around seven years ago..there's an important issue regarding that case I need to discuss with you," he said with audible tenseness. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotlittlehands 2012-01-12 08:17 pm UTC (link)
	"I remember you, Kanemoto-san." She remembered everything about that time. "How can I help?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_citizen 2012-01-12 08:20 pm UTC (link)
	"As you know, we never found the..bodies of the victims. He's been silent on the issue no matter what has been attempted. I truly have never seen a more evil, I'm sorry... Anyway, during his therapy session today, he..he expressed a willingness to tell us where they are. However..there's a condition." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotlittlehands 2012-01-12 08:23 pm UTC (link)
	"You don't have to tell me that Mr. Bowman is evil, sir. What's his condition?" Although she already suspects, since she's being called. Still, if it's a serious offer, if those families could get the information, get the ashes, it would be something. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The warden swallows, clearly finding this distasteful. "He'll only tell you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotlittlehands 2012-01-12 08:38 pm UTC (link)
	"How flattering," she says drily. "It's like an American movie. I'll be there as soon as possible, Warden." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_citizen 2012-01-12 08:42 pm UTC (link)
	"Thank you, Agent Sunset. We'll have a room and security ready for you." He paused a moment. "You're a brave woman, Kobayashi-san." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotlittlehands 2012-01-12 08:44 pm UTC (link)
	"That is very kind of you to say, Kanemoto-san, but it's merely a professional responsibility. Thank you for calling." And she'll let others in the headquarters know that she'll be away. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Keiji catches her on her way out. "Are you all right? You look troubled." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotlittlehands 2012-01-12 09:07 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm fine, Keiji. I just have to do something very distasteful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	clawed_progeny 2012-01-12 09:08 pm UTC (link)
	He looked even more concerned now. "Is it something you want to talk about, Amiko-chan?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotlittlehands 2012-01-12 09:12 pm UTC (link)
	She hugs him. "Not right now. I'd rather get it over with first. If it goes well, we'll have information that should help a few people; maybe close a few old missing-persons cases, too, depending. I'll need a few showers, though. It's like dealing with raw sewage." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	clawed_progeny 2012-01-12 09:14 pm UTC (link)
	He holds her a moment before reluctantly letting her go. "Alright, Amiko-chan. I'll be here when you return." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotlittlehands 2012-01-12 09:15 pm UTC (link)
	"Good. Thank you." And off she goes. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Marcus Bowman was originally from the United States. There he had left a trail of death behind him, successfully leaving the country before any hint of a clue could be traced back to him. He made his new home in Japan, continuing where he left off, except this time he wasn't as lucky as before. He was tracked down and captured by a young up-and-coming member of Japanese intelligence. He was tried and deemed to be insane. A sociopath with strong nihilistic tendencies with a sado-masochistic streak, he was sentenced to life in the city's most secure insane asylum. However, no matter what methods were used, no one could get him to reveal what he had done with his victims..until now.

Bowman was strapped to the chair in the interrogation room by his arms and legs. Even so, the guards seemed tentative to go near him. Even the most hardened and insane of the asylum gave Bowman a wide berth. Being a gaijin had instantly made him a target by the prison population. In fact, the staff encouraged violence against him as a means to get him to tell them the location of the bodies. ..it didn't work. Several of said prisoners ended up in the emergency wards..one without his nose... Frankly, the man gave off an aura of evil to those he thought themselves evil. They had no idea.

And the monster was smiling...

	Amiko walked in and, just looking at him, was glad she hadn't eaten too heavily. "Hello, Mr. Bowman," she says simply. "It's been a while. Not long enough, but a while." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_orochi 2012-01-12 09:35 pm UTC (link)
	"Hello, Kobayashi-san." His Japanese had a noticeable accent. "Indeed it has. In fact, it's almost been seven years to the day. You were just a rookie agent desiring to break through into the big leagues, and now look at you." He sighs wistfully. "Look how much you've grown." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotlittlehands 2012-01-12 09:41 pm UTC (link)
	"To the day, so it is," she deadpans. "You know who hasn't gotten any older? Ishida Keisuke. The high school student. Not only did his family not get his ashes, they never even got an official admission. You going to give it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_orochi 2012-01-12 09:44 pm UTC (link)
	Despite being tied to a chair, Bowman looked comfortable. "I just might. Have a seat, I'm starved for intelligent conversation in this place. Frankly I think everyone here may be crazy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotlittlehands 2012-01-12 09:47 pm UTC (link)
	She stands for a moment, then pulls up a chair, still a ways from him, but within conversational distance. Not close enough for trouble, but definitely close enough to make her skin crawl. "Congratulations. You have three minutes in which to say something interesting." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_orochi 2012-01-12 09:55 pm UTC (link)
	"Very well, let's see, Ishida..Ishida..ah, the soccer player, oh I'm sorry, you call it football here, right?" I remember him now. He was so..happy, so full of enthusiasm for winning a stupid sports game. You'd think he had won a significant championship or some such, but I digress." He pauses a moment. "You really want to hear this?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotlittlehands 2012-01-12 09:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Both terms are valid here," she says blankly, intent on not giving him too much of a reaction. "And I'm asking, amn't I? Tell me what happened to him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"It was such a silly thing. Clearly the boy had no idea just how meaningless his accomplishment was. It..it was sad really. Something had to be done. I'll spare you the tedious details of memorizing his routine and everything. As the light left his eyes as I my hands wrung his neck, I think he realized the true pointlessness of it all." He smiles almost proudly. "And that Kobayashi-san, is the real victory. He died knowing the truth."

	She can't hide the shudder entirely, but she does her best. "Where?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"...I've seen it. Ask your question." This creature cannot hurt her. Amiko knows well that the grief never truly ends, but the boy's family deserves everything they can get. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Excellent, glad to see you're still reasonable after all these years. Let's see..from secret agent to super hero to leader of Japan's premiere superhero team." His eyes narrow in interest. "And let's not forget the burden you bear as the eldest child of the legendary Wolverine and everything that that ties into." he leans forward as much as he can. "How are you coping, Amiko-san?"

	"Well enough, thank you. Obviously, I do not always commemorate anniversaries the way my father traditionally has, but he agrees there is no point in cutting a man open if he's just going to enjoy it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Marcus nods in a sage-like manner. "True, true. He sounds like a wise man." He leans back again. "Very well then." He looks at a young officer who had a notepad and pen on him who seemed to be doing his best to remain stoic. "Try to keep up and listen good, my Japanese isn't perfect." And he proceeds to give them an address of an abandoned factory. "The body's hidden behind an extra wall I put in."

His head leans back on the chair, his face a picture of thought. He looks back. "I believe I know who you're talking about. Woman with a very, and I do mean very, traditional father. Seemed no matter how hard she tried, she'd never be good enough. All because she was born a woman. What do the Chinese call them? Thieves in the night, yes? Sorry, got off track. No, she's not there."

	hotlittlehands 2012-01-12 10:48 pm UTC (link)
	"Whatever the father was like, the family as a whole should get her ashes. I think you've got a 'better' question for me than the correct use of Chinese cliche. Let's hear it, Mr. Bowen." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Fair enough, Kobayashi-san. You hear very interesting talk while in these places. Why just recently I hear rumor that you had taken an agent of the Hand under your protection." His face becomes one of incomprehension. Whether it was real or not was hard to say. "Now I don't claim to be an expert on local underworld lore, but I was under the impression that it was the Hand that murdered your mother to begin with. Protecting an agent of theirs seems an odd decision."

(Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotlittlehands 2012-01-12 10:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Then don't think of it as protection. Think of it as stealing. Still one less Hand agent in the world, but I can use him against them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_orochi 2012-01-12 11:03 pm UTC (link)
	"Perhaps, but that must be frightfully awkward, especially since by definition Hand agents tend to be murderers a hundred times over. Believe me Kobayashi-san, I know what I'm talking about. However, I know you know more of the greater good than I do. What's your next question?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Inside the foundations of a building that was just being constructed at the time." He gives an address. "You'll want some heavy digging equipment." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotlittlehands 2012-01-12 11:50 pm UTC (link)
	"Noted." A pause. "What was your count, Mr. Bowen?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_orochi 2012-01-13 12:18 am UTC (link)
	"Uh uh, it's my turn for a question, Kobayashi-san." He seems to consider a moment. "I've have odd dreams as of late. I've seen things that are both frightening and..invigorating," he said with a sick smile. "Do you believe the world will end this year?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	hotlittlehands 2012-01-13 12:19 am UTC (link)
	"I don't think it's any more likely than any other year." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_orochi 2012-01-13 12:24 am UTC (link)
	"Oh ho ho, but I've seen it!" He said with a manic glee. "The end's coming! This world's going to be swallowed up by a force almost as old as the world itself! I can feel it!" He abruptly calms. "But I have a question to answer. Only three others. You won't find them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're a big fan of annihilation. Not exactly shocking. What will you tell me about the others." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_orochi 2012-01-13 12:32 am UTC (link)
	"Not meant to be shocking now, Kobayashi-san. I know you don't believe me, but I'd feel bad if I didn't at least bring it up." He smiles. "There's a rather large vat of acid used in the industrial district. That's as close as you'll get. Do you want the address?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_orochi 2012-01-13 12:42 am UTC (link)
	"Very practical." he gives the address of the vat. He shrugs. "Regrettably no, but it's going to be sooner than you think." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I live in fear, Mr. Bowen. I live in fear." She's dry, but she'd like to get the heck away from this man now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_orochi 2012-01-13 01:02 am UTC (link)
	"Nice to see again, Kobayashi-san!" He calls out to her. "Something tells me it won't be nearly as long until we see each other again!" And he simply chuckles as the guards take him back into custody. (Reply to this)(Parent)
