.: Shinohara :.
Shinohara didn't have time to answer Teela as his walkie talkie went off, startling him a bit as he pulled the device up to his ear, listening and nodding as he heard what Sendo wanted to convey, and right on time, the redhead that was mentioned decided to come pay them a visit, which lead Shinohara to pressing down the button on the walkie talkie, responding with a simple "Understood, she's here.. let's try to figure this out." then with a click, Shinohara put the device away into his pants pocket.
The next thing that happened caught Shinohara off guard however, as Saionji leap forward to embrace her so called sister, Shinohara had heard Saionji talk about Koizumi a lot, but he hadn't expected the redhead to reject her like that, and piecing together what Sendo said, and how Koizumi was acting, the S.W.A.T member came to the conclusion that perhaps Koizumi was being forced to act like this, coming to the possibility that some kind of terrible blackmail had been placed on her by Charles.
"The study?... don't suppose you know where that is?" Shinohara mumbled to Z, there was the small chance the man would become selfish, and try to head to the study himself to secure Charles and make sure that Evan would turn out alright.
Although the chance was slim, as the very thought of leaving Saionji, Yuki, and this new girl alone with both Z and Sendo didn't sit well with his stomach, and the agony from not being able to make a move yet shown on the man's face as he quietly grinded his teeth, hoping no one would notice his inner battle as he forced himself to try to stay calm, keeping his eyes focused on Koizumi and Saionji, depending on how Koizumi reacted, would help the man form his next plan of action.
.: Charles :.
Charles couldn't believe that Evan had back up, and acted clumsily in his assault as he was only able to scratch Evan's cheek with the tip of his scythe, it was disgusting how close the old man had gotten to slicing the investigator's head clean off, but this would have to do for now as time was running out for the man, his body wouldn't allow him to continue for too long, and so he knew that he would have to make this precious time of adrenaline worth while.
No sooner than The old man recovered his stance did he let out a loud howl of pain as a bullet flew through the air and grazed his shoulder, the skin ripping off as the bullet burned his flesh and pierced the wall behind him, causing Charles to curse under his breath as he stumbled backwards and gripped his shoulder wound tight.
"Good show.. good show, but it won't be enough, I'm in quite the hurry.. and I have not time for this!" Charles shrieked, his eyes glaring daggers towards the investigators as his patience grew thin, it then that Charles directed his attention towards Jasper, signaling with his eyes for the other man to make a move whence he made his next, as the two would have to be in sync to obtain any chance of their survival and escape.
Charles slowly let go of his shoulder, and gripped the scythe with both hands as he readied himself, his old bones were numb as the aching was dulled by the adrenaline running through his veins, yet the clock was ticking for just how long he could hold out against these two, he would have to make this quick, as he wasn't planning to die until the very end.
Amidst the odds Charles leap forward once more, although this time his movements were noticeably different, the man moved with intent. his movements were much more fluent and swift as he came for Evan with the intent to maim another human being, yet repeating the same process would only result in failure, and anyone that saw the old man probably thought him to be senile and remaking the same mistakes.
However at the last moment just before Charles reached Evan, the old man leap to the side and slid right on past the investigator and smirked devilishly, then thrusting the blade of the scythe forward, delivered his attack to Kenai's right arm.
.: Suzuya :.
Suzuya's eyes widened in shock as Komaeda began to patch him up, not noticing how flushed his cheeks got as the other helped put the bandages back on right to help with the wound on his chest, not even noticing how quickly his heart beat increased as he could feel Komaeda's breath against his skin as he patched the stitched boy back together.
What the albino did notice however, was how violated he felt by the other's actions, and as such Suzuya tried to push the other away, and when that didn't work, the Albino readied his knife in his left hand.
"Ah... but You did this, so why are you worrying about it?" Suzuya replied sharply, helping himself up and off the bed and waltzing right on over to the other, Suzuya didn't hesitate to reach up and grab Komaeda by the collar of his shirt, pulling the other down to his level as he grinned eerily towards the other.
"Hang in there.. that's what you always said, so hang in there!" Suzuya giggled as he mocked the other, slowly pressing the blade of his knife against Komaeda's throat to where it threatened to cut, the Albino was about to slice through when his hand began to tremble, causing the Albino to gasp in shock. staring at his own hand like it was some sort of alien object as it started to quiver.
"W-why...?" Suzuya whimpered, his eyes filling up with fear as he stared in horror towards his own hand, loosening his grip on the knife as he did so.
