After the break was over without too much trouble they said their goodbyes to Mikado, Masaomi and Anri and headed out of the school in their now safely established formation. Daniel was in front leading the way, the girls were chatting with each other in the middle and Christopher and Steve were on their tails, "watching" their backs.

"So where are we going now?" Yukio asked, fixing her hair that was slightly a mess from all of Masaomi's "jump in"-s

"It's IkebukuroWestGatePark, now~" Lucy sung smiling at her newfound friends.

"Do you really think we'll see Shizuo and Celty?" Lia tilted her head to the question.

"Well Daniel says that there is like 20% chance, if not less, that they are there, so no, not really. But I like park's so we are going anyway. Oh we can have a picnic!" Lucy squealed in delight.

"That would be nice, eating outdoors in fresh air." Violet said; "But we haven't prepared any picnic stuff."

"Worry not; we are always one step ahead of any trouble. And even if we are not, we are only one step behind." Lucy laughed and waved to Daniel; "Hey Daniel, you think we can manage a picnic in the park."

"As you wish." Daniel said monotonously and flipped open his phone, dialing few numbers in lightning speed.

"See everything is taken care of." Lucy chirped; "No need to worry about a thing."

"You know that's what they usually say in the movies when something horribly goes wrong." Yukio noticed.

"STOP RIGHT THERE!"

"Told you."

They turned around to find Takashi Nasujima running towards them with two police officers by his side. Nasujima stopped on the safe distance and pointed an accusing finger towards Christopher.

"That's him! That's the monster! You must be looking for him or something, he is a killer! I'm telling you." Nasujima screamed frantically.

"A killer!?" Violet squeaked, hiding behind Yukio, before she remembered that Christopher was the one who saved her from Nasujima in the first place. He did do that in rather violent way, but still…he couldn't be a killer…right?

The officer that looked older and more experienced approached Christopher who was staring at him with mild interest. Officer's hand was place warningly on his gun as he tugged the boy's dog collar up and looked at one of the tags. Christopher calmly allowed his head to be lunged backwards for officer to study his tag, not a trace of panic in his eyes. The officer tched and released Christopher from his grip.

"Can't help you here, Mr. Nasujima. This one is way out of my hands. Damn therapy runts, they get way too much then they deserve." He turned to Christopher; "Back Fountain, huh? That really ain't place for a kid. I bet Lee dealt with you quite nicely didn't he?"

Christopher didn't answer, but his shoulders shook a bit in anger at the mention of the name.

"Though, he probably shouldn't have let you off so easily. Stupid bastards like you don't deserve a second chance. You know what I think they deserve. A death row, that's what. You should be happy, you know. Lee usually shoots every other rabid dog down, but I guess he likes you. Can't see why, you ain't that pretty." The officer chuckled, gripping Christopher's chin with his fat fingers.

By that point Christopher was shaking with subdued rage, glaring into officers eyes, looking like a dog that wanted nothing more then to attack, but was held back by some kind of invisible leash. Daniel looked at him from the front, body tense and ready to spring into action if anything bad happens, his hand still holding the phone to his ear. Lucy, Violet, Lia and Yukio were all in the same group, not sure what to do as they watched the scene unfold. Steve was the only one who decided that he could no longer stay in the same place. His hands reached into his pocket, eyes darting wearily from one officer to another, looking if he is clear to go.

"…after all you are Lee's good little dog, aren't you." The officer hummed into Christopher's ear, finishing his tirade that nobody really heard.

In the next second a gun was pressed against his temple. Officer's eyes turned in surprise to look at the ginger that pointed a gun at him with confident expression. Violet and Nasujima shirked in terror and the younger officer whipped out his gun and pointed it at Steve.

"Put your gun down!" He yelled, although there was an obvious undertone of nervousness in his voice. He was obviously new at the job.

Suddenly a low animal-like growl echoed through the hall as Christopher's lips once again rose into a threatening sneer; "Shoot him and I'll have both of you begging to die." He said, his voice barely audible from the growling sound that escaped through his lips.

Steve looked rather satisfied with that statement as he pressed his gun further on the man's temple; "Now since I really don't feel like shooting anyone today, why don't we just call it truce and go off, okay~" he sung, his eyes glowing dangerously.

"Alright then, we are going. Just put that gun down kid, you can really hurt someone with that." The older cop said nervously as he looked into Steve's eyes, deciding that, yes, the kid was crazy enough to actually fire.

"I don't think so. I'll count to three now and when I get to three I'll fire. Got that?" Steve replied looking absolutely giddy about this situation.

"Kid…"

"One."

"The hell, he is serious, run!" Nasujima yelled and ran down the hall, ducking into the nearest classroom.

"Two." Steve chuckled.

That one left both cops without their courage and they quickly sprinted off.

"Three!"

BANG

The cops yelled in fear, turning the corner, happy that they didn't get shoot by the bloodthirsty kid.

Back with the group, Steve was shaking with laughter and cackling like an idiot, holding the gun in his hands that was directed towards the hallway. From the guns throat were hanging colorful ribbons and a little flag on which the words "BANG, YOU'RE DEAD!" were written. Confetti was falling to the floor, seeping from the gun.

"Pffft, such idiots, hahahahaha, they are cops and they can't tell difference between the real gun and a toy, pfffhahahaha, what do you say on this one Christopher." Steve cackled at the younger boy, his eyes watering with tears of laughter.

"I think that one of these days someone is going to figure out that that is not a real gun and beat the hell out of you for scaring them so much." Christopher said monotonously, thought his eyes showed amusement at Steve's little trick.

"And that someone is going to be me!" Lia roared as she snapped out of her daze and realized what Steve just did. She stomped over to him and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, shaking him violently, making him drop the toy gun; "Are you seriously that stupid? What if that guy shoot at you, what would you do then!? More importantly, what kind of an idiot points a gun at cops, you wana go to jail?" She yelled at him.

"Aww, Lia you do care~" Steve grinned, looking ever so slightly confused.

"I don't! I just don't want to spend money on bailing you out of the stupid jail!" she yelled, shaking him some more.

"Alright, alright, I'm getting kind of dizzy now." He said, rather annoyed.

"You're impossible!" She yelled again, but released him this time and he over dramatically stumbled back and into Christopher's arms.

"She's right you know." Christopher mumbled, pushing him away.

"Awww, you are worried about me too. That is so adorable." Steve chuckled, making a move to pinch Christopher's cheek, which Christopher swiftly avoided.

"Well if you are done with that, it's about time we get going." Daniel commented silently and they turned to follow him, silently listening to Lia's never-ending scolding of Steve's stupidity.
