[sits quietly waiting outside his brother's office for the chief to finish scolding him for that warehouse stunt, and how much danger he's been putting himself in lately. agrees that his brother takes the Madara Uchiha case too hard, but would rather help his brother than lecture him, so once the chief is gone, quietly slips into Hashirama's office, dropping a folder onto his desk.] Here, interrogation reports of one of Madara's men that was captured. As usual, his men are well trained. The guy refuses to talk and within the extent of the law we have no proof he's really done anything wrong, so he's got twenty-four hours left of incarceration before he's released. [knows that isn't what big brother wants to hear, but... at least he isn't scolding him! see, he's a good baby brother.]

I think... they've always been waiting for us to slip up. They can't deny a good policeman when they see it, but they think it's all because of where we came from. To fight crime you have to know crime, right? Acting on your own is more efficient, but... from the chief's point of view, I suppose it looks like you're going rouge. Going alone to a warehouse to meet one of our top criminals, not taking him down in that one glorious shot. Shooting someone does nothing, he had men there that would have taken you down too, and they we'd have nothing. But they don't see that. It's easy to say you'd have taken the shot had it been you in that situation, but in that situation, nobody thinks that clearly.

Even the situation I was in did not matter. Without signal to call them in, guarded on the outside and there could have been snipers positioned anyway in there. Walking into a potential death trap for the sake of information retrieval doesn't matter to them, only that he got away. [circles his fingers into his temple.] This is twice of recent he had escaped while in my company.

	Any other officer and it would have been at least you're alright, at least nobody was hurt. For us it's different, you've always known that. You can't let it get to you, you've done nothing wrong and you know that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I'm going to bring him in. Madara will go to prison. If this lead you have found is correct... [he might have to stoop down a few levels and contact some of their father's contacts.] I will be sure that they are fully aware that it was you who pointed this out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Us. Not just me, and not just you. We're together on this, alright? I don't want a promotion, I don't want glory... I just want anybody who doubted us to know we're not bad people. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	[nods.] Together. But you have to be careful who you share information with. Even if they aren't moles, there are still ones who want us gone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mm. [nods.] I'll only talk about this case with you. Did chief say anything about an ultimatum, or are you still assigned to this case? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He hasn't mention of taking me off it yet. There is no one close who knows as much about him as I do. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Do you remember the first time you met him? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

It was before I was made detective, still in a regular grunt position, getting bossed around by the higher ups to do all their reject work. [makes is more painfully obvious when you look back at it that he was going to be treated like shit from day one.] I was sent out to patrol the surrounding area of an arson case. It looked like a regular gas leak at the time before investigation but there were many fatalities and they wanted to keep the people out. I tried to tell them that most people will stay around to relish in their handy work, laughed at of course but there he was. It was never marked against him, he could have been there to see what all the commotion was about, but from the first time I saw him, I got this feeling about him.

	How many times have you met him since then? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	codefive 2010-03-30 03:03 pm UTC (link)
	Face to face, not many. The last time before recent when we made eye contact was the raid that killed his brother. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mizuwari 2010-03-30 03:07 pm UTC (link)
	He was silent for a bit after that. I wonder if he loved his brother, or just used him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It is enough to use him as an excuse for retribution. If it is true or not, I couldn't tell. He seemed genuine but nothing he says should be taken as truth. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mizuwari 2010-03-30 03:13 pm UTC (link)
	If it was a plot for retribution it seems too elaborate... His motives never make sense. No wonder you get headaches so much. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	[not to mention other things he says...] Best not to amerce yourself in too much with it. You want to understand where he is coming from but not to sympathize. Everything changes all the time with him, it gets hard to keep up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mizuwari 2010-03-30 03:20 pm UTC (link)
	To understand someone, you have to sympathize with them a little. Unless he's a psychopath. [j-jokes.] (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	[just knows he'd take a bullet for you :( feels for Izuna, that's all.] ... Ah, yeah. [picks the file up and looks over it, trying to find another surprise clue, but... one is the quota per day, isn't it.] (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Being soft with this case, is something we can't afford. Either it will end us up with false accusation and charges for a trip to prison or dead. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mizuwari 2010-03-30 03:38 pm UTC (link)
	I know, it's just... if he shot at you, I would take the bullet. That's all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Any family member would cares about their own would. I understand that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Then if his brother cared about him enough to do that... and he just used him...

	[kneels down and helps to pick them up, using the lower cover of desks and blinds to pulls his brother over for a hug.] I've got it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mizuwari 2010-03-30 10:32 pm UTC (link)
	[doesn't expect the hug so kind of stumbles into it, but once he gets his bearings, brings his hands up to hold onto Hashirama's shirt, just leaning against him, feeling like a small child.] Sometimes I don't think I'm cut out for this kind of life. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
