The hospital doors burst open as the hooded man ran out, evading the pursuit of the the detective.
Jo followed close behind, determined to catch the mysterious individual.
"This guy's been there, every step of the way since the beginning, whoever he is, he obviously has something to do with the case and I'm gonna find out what." Jo thought.
The two ran through the streets, narrowly avoiding collision with vehicles and almost causing several crashes.
Jo picked up his pace, the hooded man zigzagging his movements to throw him off.
It almost worked as Jo struggled to keep his balance.
"I can't get away from this guy by running, I'm gonna have to lose him." The hooded man thought.
Looking for somewhere to escape the detective, he spotted the library in the distance.
"Perfect." He thought.
Running into the library, he was both astounded yet unsurprised to find it completely deserted.
"It's a shame no one ever comes here." The hooded man thought.
Hiding behind a large shelf in the corner, he held back his breath knowing that even just one faint sound would give away his location.
He heard the doors shut and Jo's footsteps growing louder as he entered.
"Listen, I don't know who you are, but you've been interfering with this case, it's time you give this up and be taken in for questioning." Jo called out to him.
No answer was given, the hooded man struggling to hold back his breath.
"If it helps, you managed to get Scourge locked up, they might go easy on you for that." Jo said.
Jo kept walking, looking down the aisles.
The hooded man saw Jo getting closer, out of the corner of his eye.
Jo was just a few feet away from him, when he stepped out right in front of him.
"Sorry about this." The hooded man said.
The hooded man, held a book in both hands, swinging it, hitting Jo right across the face, knocking him down to the floor.
He dropped the book and ran out, leaving Jo behind.
Jo got up, rubbing his jaw in pain.
As he did, he noticed something off.
Feeling around, he noticed something was missing.
He looked down and saw what he suspected, lying on the floor was a tooth.
Picking it up, he looked at it and began to fume with anger.
"Okay, now it's personal." Jo growled.
Back at the Hospital.
As the pursuit was going on, everyone else at the hospital remained unaware of the matter.
Vanilla was still unconscious, slowly healing from the damages.
As she slept, a small clicking noise could be heard.
Outside the window, the lock was being picked, someone trying to get in the room without anyone knowing.
The window unlocked, the person opening it and carefully creeping inside.
The person creeping in, clad in a dark cloak, covering their body as well as a mask.
They looked down at Vanilla, hissing in disgust.
"I don't know how you survived, but I'll make sure I don't make the same mistake." They said, their voice distorted.
The person grabbed the pillow from under Vanilla's head and began to lower it onto her face.
But before Vanilla could be smothered, they heard the voices and steps heading their way.
Cream's voice as well as the doctor's.
The person hissed in annoyance, placing the pillow back under Vanilla's head and slipping out the window, closing and locking it once more to not leave a trace.
"This isn't over." They said, glaring at Vanilla through the window.
Meanwhile.
The hooded man had managed to escape.
Or so he thought.
As he entered his work station, an old worn down comic shop he was operating out of, he was met by a fist colliding with his jaw.
As he looked up, he saw Jo standing in front of him.
"An eye for an eye." Jo said, sternly.
Jo grabbed him by the collar and threw him into the wall.
The hooded man struggled to stand back up, too exhausted from the chase.
"How did you find me?" He asked.
"I asked around, they told me some suspicious hooded guy lived out here, I figured the odds were pretty good it was you." Jo told him.
"Now answer my question, who are you?" Jo demanded.
The hooded man let out a sigh of defeat.
He used the last of his strength to stand and lower his hood, revealing a beaten and bruised, blue fox.
"The names Saturn, Saturn Night."
