.: Shinohara :.
"Saionji... " Shinohara sorrowfully started, his expression softening as he glanced down at the girl, she was going through so much right now and staying strong simply wasn't an option for her, the blonde needed a rock and the man felt afraid that he couldn't support her, there were no comforting words that he could offer Saionji, for his own crippling fear settling inside his heart made him imagine the worst had already happened to his son, and as much as he tried to shake the thought of Suzuya possibly being dead already, it still haunted him, and prevented him from comforting Saionji or Yuki, all he could offer the frail girls was a ruffle of the hair and a sad smile to try to ease their worries.
Sighing, Shinohara tried to level his head as he attempted to focus back onto the thought at hand.
They needed to figure out exactly how to use Jasper as a bargaining chip, yet more importantly they had to keep him alive so they could use him as a bargaining chip and that bothered the S.W.A.T member to a point, knowing that they would have to care in anyway for the servant gave him an uncomfortable feeling within his gut.
"Charles will know.. if he has this mansion surveyed as we expect, he'll know our actions before we even make them, I have no doubt that he already anticipated our decision before we even came to it.." Shinohara made a rather risky assumption, and contemplated that perhaps he was giving Charles a little too much credit for being the mastermind of this mansion.
Although at the same time Shinohara had no doubt that the old man would be one step ahead of them, he had been doing this for years and had gotten away with it, and this was probably the first time investigators even got involved, and out of mere coincidence were they even allowed to, this case wasn't official, and by no means legally permitted. it was a rescue mission that Shinohara formed on a whim, and could of landed them in serious trouble had the case came up with no results.
"We need to tend to the boy's wounds first... then we can think of a plan to lure Charles out, I hate waiting but.. he's going to be no use to us if he dies.. however, I don't want to leave the captives hanging.. " Shinohara started as he examined everyone in the room, they someone that could scout the mansion and possibly find the captives location before Charles would move them, that way they could just rush in once Jasper was fixed up and play their card for trade, then after Koizumi and Suzuya were secured and at a safe distance, they would take Charles and Jasper down on the spot before they could make a move.
"Any volunteers to scout..? I want to make this patchwork quick, nothing fancy." Gesturing to Jasper before the man continued with
"We don't have time to wait for him to heal completely, we need to move quickly.. each second we waste, the captives lives are on the line and ticking away, however if we lose this important chess piece.. I fear time will run out before we even find them."
.: Suzuya :.
"Only Charles.." Suzuya agreed with Koizumi as he repeated her words, smiling as he closed his eyes and thought about the sentence that came from his mouth, somehow it felt alien, and made him feel a little uncomfortable as he uttered them.
The stitched boy played it off as just feeling wrong in general after the torture, his senses were out of whack from the torture he endured earlier, and decided that finding out why Koizumi's cheeks were red would be a little more fun than worrying about it.
"Ah! I would get angry too.. but I don't think getting mad will solve anything to do with Komaeda-san, I want to take revenge.. it's much more sweet!" The Albino giggled as he exclaimed this, idly starting to sway his legs that dangled from the chair he sat at for entertainment, yet Suzuya didn't notice how quickly his heart picked up pace as he said Komaeda's name.. almost as if it were aching for some reason, an odd sensation of wanting to see the other was passed off as the Albino wanting to hurt Komaeda for what he did to him, thinking that he only wanted to see Komaeda so he could put the other through the same pain he had to go through.
"Aye aye Sir!~ can you bring me back some sweets too-" Suzuya cut himself off as Charles abruptly shut the door, frowning a bit at how much of a hurry the old man seemed to be in, it was nothing that the Albino could stop however, and he knew he had to be grateful to Charles for saving him, so he wouldn't complain even if the old man didn't bring any delicious sweets back.
.: Charles :.
Charles chuckled as Teela screamed, merely digging his fingers in more to cause the maid pain before the old man inevitability yanked her eyeball right from the socket, throwing the disgusting thing to the floor so he didn't have to taint his hands with it's gooey blood, wiping the substance off onto the side of his pants as he scoffed at how dirty the girl was, ignoring her wailing and struggling to stand, Charles turned back to the door that was still ajar, and leaned in to chime to the two occupants.
"Oh! It seems that we have a rather awful rodent out here.. I hate to leave you two, but I'll be back shortly, I need to dispose of it.. if this thing stays here, then we will for certain get some sort of disease.. you two rest, and if anyone comes in, please do show them some hospitality." the old man finished and was just about to leave, when he quickly stopped himself, wagging his finger as if he was trying to keep a thought within his mind that begged to escape him.
"I'll also be bringing you two weapons when I return.. we don't know when they will come back, now do we? It would be better if we can defend ourselves, so I'm going to scrounge up some weaponry that will be to our liking." Charles grinned as he said this, letting the two know that they would soon get the revenge they craved, then the old man finally turned to leave, grabbing the unconscious Teela roughly by the hair, he yanked her by the golden locks and started down the staircase dragging her all the while.
Although the real reason the man was leaving Koizumi and Suzuya behind was not just weaponry, in truth Charles already knew that Jasper would of probably been caught by now, and he had to check to see just how severe the situation had gotten without him there, after all, the surprise in the morning wouldn't be as suspenseful if his faithful servant wouldn't be at his side. someone needed to help him train the two newbies so Charles could get the terror filled finale on the road after all. Charles had plans to attend to, big plans that only Jasper could help him with, and so, the old man carefully treaded down the staircase with the maid's body in tow.
