Takagi slumped to his knees panting. Sato rushed over and hugged him.
"Are you ok?" She asked franticly.
"I feel like I got hit by a truck." He groaned. Sato hugged him closer.
"Did he hit you Miwako?" Takagi asked suddenly.
"No. Stop worrying about me. We must get you to a hospital!" She said taken aback.
"Move! Now!" Inspector Maguire shouted as he pushed past the officers who had gathered outside the questioning room. Santos followed behind.
"All right! What's the damage? Sato, how's Takagi? Is our suspect conscious?" Maguire was barking orders to anyone who would listen. He rushed over to where Takagi and Sato were sitting. Santos stood a few feet apart.
"What happened?" Maguire asked.
"He leapt over the table and got my gun and handcuffs. He handcuffed me and…" Takagi said quietly, "and… um" 'This is really embarrassing. Now I look weak.' He thought.
"From what I heard you got the stuffing beaten out of you with a table." Santos said bluntly. Maguire glared at him. He sat down beside Takagi and Sato.
"Hmm..." Maguire sighed. He pushed the hair out of Takagi's face and glanced at a small cut. "This was done with a hard metal object with a jagged edge. What were you hit with?"
"A table leg. But I-I kicked him in the head and Sato shot him in the arm." Takagi said uneasily. Santos tried not to smirk but failed. Sato looked up at him and saw his little smirk. Her eyes narrowed. As he looked at her she adverted her eyes.
"Sir I umm…" Takagi began but Sato cut him off.
"I'm taking him to a hospital. Wataru can you stand?"
"Y-yes. Miwako what are you…" He said awkwardly. Maguire chuckled.
"Go on Takagi. Your mistress is getting antsy." He joked. Takagi blushed. Sato turned beat red. Takagi stood and nodded at the two inspectors. Sato Stood and clung to his arm as if she thought that if she let go he would disappear.
She led him to her car and pushed him into the passenger seat. She reached over to buckle his seatbelt but stopped as he wrapped his hands around hers.
"I'm not dying Miwako. I'm just a bit bruised, and a bit bloody." He said affectionately. She buckled his seatbelt for him anyway.
"Wataru?" She said softly after a few minutes of driving.
"Yes." He said thoughtfully. He could tell she had something big on her mind.
"I think you were set up. I think Santos planned it all. He was the one who told you to question that suspect and the one who told you to bring your handcuffs and your gun. And then afterwards he was practically laughing!" Sato said passionately. Takagi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh you think that to. I thought I was just being paranoid." He said sadly. "Now at least I know he's willing to kill me to get you."
"Get me?"
"He loves you. He also thinks you like him back."
"EWW!" Sato shrieked.
"Well he comes with perks. I don't I'm just gonna be a burden" he sighed.
"Don't you dare say that. You're perfect." She said quickly. Four years of verbal abuse from Santos had basically destroyed his self esteem. They had arrived at the hospital. Sato parked up front. She reached over and raised up both armrests creating a space between them.
"Come here you. And I'll show you how well we fit together." She grabbed his tie and pulled him closer. They were only inches apart now. He timidly closed the gap between their lips. First kissing her softly then with a burning passion. They devoured each other.
She wove her hands through his hair and he wrapped his arms around her, bringing them even closer. She let him explore her mouth with his tongue. He let her place her hands on his chest and sigh with contentment.
When at last they broke apart they were both red and smiling.
"um… we better go in… um to the hospital…uh…" He mumbled.
"uh right.. yeah lets go."
