[Karin]
"So how long are you planning to hold me in for?" The red head inquiringly poses to the purple head woman that sits in front of her after she tilts her head to the side.
"Anko, come here." A masculine voice unexpectedly interrupts the interrogation and earns the sights of the women, mainly from the one name Anko.
Karin interestedly watches as the woman quickly hops to her feet and briefly chats with a slate haired male that slides his body partially through the door.
'He's kinda cute.' The young woman inwardly thinks with a visible smirk present on her face.
"Are you aware of how high your toxicology report number is? Even a 6 foot 5 monster of a man would be considered a dead cadaver with the amount of poison that's in your body." Anko honestly revealed once she received a few papers from the man at the door.
The red eyed woman was physically shrugging her shoulders up then down and casually commenting, "I've always been told I have the Devil's luck."
The older woman neatly files the papers on top of the table and quietly utters, "Interesting analogy".
"Thanks. By the way…who was that guy?" Karin purposely asks about the identity of the man, who was at the door earlier.
A "humph" emits from her lips all while she rustles through some of the papers before she alleges, "Wouldn't you like to know? Who provided you the drugs?"
"Was it him?" The light brown eyed officer enquiringly needles while she deliberately slides a sketch of an image in front of her.
Karin closely narrows her sight in on the picture in front of her before she admits, "He's our boss from the Dollhouse. He was more like…one of those perverted creepy old men that preys on consenting adults."
"So there was sexual contact?" Anko quickly follows up with another question since she identifies the person on the paper as the Dollhouse's boss.
A smirk merely stretches across her face prior to her response of, "Yeah, mostly oral sex on my part."
"Obviously, you have a supplier and a very influential one based on the drugs that currently flow within your being." She eventually surmises after she peeks at the list of drugs on the sheet of paper.
Karin merely cuts her eyes over at one of the walls and sincerely admits, "Well I have OD a couple of times, but I still get booted right back in to this sinful body of mine."
"So Rose, did you know that there are extremely potent Pharmaceutical drugs…" Anko speaks up only to hear the suspect cut her off with, "In my body? I'm pretty much use to being an unwilling guinea pig from time to time. The perk is usually pretty awesome if I do say so myself."
Her response earns a quirk eyebrow from the older woman, who then probes, "Have you ever had drugs personally yet secretly delivered drugs?"
'That was Suigetsu's job.' The red haired woman inwardly answers but instead she reveals, "Yes, every day. It would mysteriously appear in my vanity right before show time."
"Well our informant let us in on a secret…you know where your boss is at this very moment. Otherwise, he would've shown up here first thing to clear his name." She reveals to the woman as she places the paper back in order.
"Thanks, you've been a wonderful and delightful treat Rose." Anko sincerely discloses once she stands to her feet and departs from the Interrogation room.
"So did it work?" Kakashi curiously wonders if their plan was a success or a failure once he watches her exit the room with an unreadable placid expression on her face.
A small smile was present on her face before she cheerfully remarks, "Her face said it all."
"So next we need to locate the whereabouts of the boss of their establishment." He states the next step to their plan in order to close the Dollhouse Investigation.
"Anko, Kakashi," A familiar masculine voice promptly calls out the name of his coworkers before he divulges why he was there, "We have an emergency meeting in the conference room ASAP."
"What's wrong Asuma?" The slate haired male poses since it was rare for them to have an emergency meeting.
He simply shrugs his shoulders up and down while he honestly admits, "No clue at all."
The duo merely stare at each other with confusion present on her face at the announcement.
[Orochimaru]
Kimimaro enters inside of the room to a rather warm welcome from his boss, "I hope to hear the great news that two more thorns have been clipped."
He immediately dropped to a knee before he revealed the unexpected snag in the road, "My lord, there were some unforeseen circumstances that involve the KDEA officers."
"KDEA?" The raven haired male repeats the four initials in a tone of unfamiliarity until the silver haired male explains, "Konohagakure Drug Enforcement Agency, sir."
"Do tell me more." The older man encourages him to reveal more about this KDEA.
"They primarily focus on the production, manufacturing and distribution of illegal drugs in Konohagakure. They were the ones that infiltrated the Dollhouse, my lord." Kimimaro divulges as much information that he knows about the law enforcement team.
"Did they take them into protective custody?" Orochimaru interestedly wonders about them, which earns the response, "I haven't checked their database yet."
"Check for Rose or Karin, let me know where she is so we can pay our dearest friend an overdue visit." He tasks him with a new assignment along with a smirk on his face.
"Yes, my lord." The young man merely accepts the new assignment with a slight nod of his head and stands to his feet.
"My lord, we are ready to begin." Kabuto suddenly announces as he appears off to the side of his lord.
A smirk stretches across his face while he compliments his right hand man, "Excellent timing as usual, Kabuto. Let's begin."
[Hospital]
"Sir, if you'll please wait in the waiting room we will immediately inform you of any changes." A nurse calmly declares while she points him in the direction that he needs to head in.
The brunette manages to utter a "thanks" right before the woman returns back to her station behind the desk.
Kiba tirelessly plops down on the lone seat that was the furthest away from the others in the waiting room.
He merely buried his head in the palm of his hands once he realized that Ino was borderline dead. The "clank" in his pockets was the sound of her pill bottles knocking against each other.
The young man made it a point to collect them for the Paramedics, who eventually returned the bottles to him.
'I got to call HQ.' The black eyed officer irritably notes as he digs inside of his pants pockets and produces his cell phone.
Another team of paramedics speedily rushes a gurney inside of the Emergency Room and quickly relays the details to a nurse, "Clear! We have major bleeding from a stab wound right above the hip. Officer on the scene attempted to seal the wound with a heated metallic prong from a belt."
"Sounds pretty intense," One of the nurses comment until they notice a young man enters in behind the Paramedics.
"Sir, if you will please wait in the waiting room. We will inform you of any developments." A nurse calmly declares while she points him in the direction where he needs to head in.
Kiba suddenly feels a presence that occupies an empty seat next to him. 'Of all the places for this person to sit, they sit right next to me!'
"Are you here because of that gut feeling, Kiba?" A familiar masculine voice alleges at the sight of the man in the waiting room with him.
"Shikamaru…what are you doing here?" The brunette shockingly probes since it was strange to see one of his coworkers in the ER at the exact same hospital.
Shikamaru releases a deep sigh, leans the back of his head on the wall, stares straight ahead and discloses, "One of the girls was stabbed by a stranger, so I tried to close the wound with a belt and a lighter."
Kiba surprisingly chuckles while he shakes his head and proclaims, "Only you would think to sterilize a belt with a lighter in order to close a wound to prevent blood loss."
"She would've died otherwise." He honestly admits after he closes his eyes and relaxes his tense shoulders.
"Is that your professional or personal opinion?" The wild brunette jokingly needles as he straightens his posture in the seat.
"However, you would define your gut feeling from earlier." The pineapple ponytail tirelessly claps black with relative ease that earns a "Touché,"
"You called in, yet?" Kiba asks him as he rests his back against the body of the chair when Shikamaru sits up to reply, "Hadn't had time. But I see you were about to call."
[KDEA]
"Alright, is everyone here?" The Director instantly requests a head count from her assistant, which earns a "Yes, ma'am."
"We'll be discussing the Dollhouse incident. About 30 minutes ago, two officers: Nara, Shikamaru and Inuzaka, Kiba called in from the Metropolitan Konohagakure Hospital for two separate events. One incident occurred at the mansion of Stallworth." She gives the group a rundown of the new facts for the case.
"Wait…isn't he that multi-millionaire that created that dating app?" Sasuke suddenly mentions at the sound of the last name Stallworth.
"But he's old as dirt." Naruto loudly grips once the image of the elderly man appears on their projection screen.
"It's for the older generation." The blue haired male bites back at his blonde coworker's comment due to his lack of knowledge about current events.
"Who cares? He's currently away on a business trip." The blonde woman rudely cuts the junior officers off from their idle conversation.
"So she's his live in nurse?" Jiraya curiously poses the question that comes forth in his mind.
"No, she's his fiancée." Shizune answers once she peers up from a piece of paper.
The silver haired male leans his chin into his fist before he interestedly remarks, "So she's into the Sugar Baby age lifestyle?"
"According to Inuzaka, she recently attempted suicide but thanks to his intuition he managed to prevent her death. The other incident occurred at a local theater that hosted a puppetry show. A bomb exploded in a restroom, which led to a woman being stabbed." Tsunade purposely diverts the flow of the conversation back to the topic at hand.
"Ma'am there's another call." Her assistant promptly spoke up since she heard the phone ring during their conversation.
The Director then signals for her to answer it before she rests her fists against her mouth while she voices, "So we have an attempted suicide and a potential killing?"
"Not to mention murder." Jiraya quickly chimes in as he closely stares at the images in front of them.
"The first was thoroughly planned out precise and concise. Yet these are sloppy and reckless, almost as if it was rushed or ad-libbed on the spot." Kakashi divulges his comparison of the first murder to the second and third one.
"So there are two different killers?" Asuma probes before he has the sudden urge to have a smoke break from the additional stress that stems from this case.
"Nope, even the best killers have sloppy kills for time to time. Their criteria is as long as it kills." The slate haired male proclaims while his eyes never left the projection screen.
'I wonder…'
"Who was the second victim?" He needles about the identity of the second patient, which Shizune briefly breaks from the phone conversation in order to provide a response, "Uhm, it was Princess?"
"Didn't one of them say they were best friends?" Ibiki asks Anko since he recalls one of the young ladies mentions "best friends" during their group interrogation of the girls.
"Yeah, I think so." The purple haired woman slightly confirmed before she adds in, "So the one name Cherry either obviously knew or unexpectedly discovered something."
Shizune eventually returns her focus back on to the group in order to relay the information she just receives, "My apologies, but it seems as if there has been an attempted kidnapping."
"What else is going to go wrong?" The Director irritably mutters to no one in particular.
"We have to get this case under tight reigns now. All superior officers remain in the conference room. Junior officers, I need you in groups of six to case these girls profile. I need an officer to head to the university first thing tomorrow morning." Tsunade issues out the order before she proclaims, "I need answers ASAP."
"Ibiki, place the two girls in the same room. See what they'll talk about. Let's pray the saying finding comfort in familiarity is true." The blonde commands the Head of the Interrogation taskforce.
[Suigetsu]
The silver haired male easily hops out off a moving truck and heads over to a black luxurious car. He releases a tired sigh when he feels his phone vibrate again in his pants pocket.
"What now?" He annoyingly grumbles to the opposite end.
"Report to HQ immediately." The voice sternly demands, which leads him to think, 'Something must have happened.'
"Please be safe."
A few hours later…
A nurse leisurely approaches Kiba and Shikamaru with a visible placid expression on her face and a clipboard in her grasp at her side.
"Whose here for the patient…Temari no Subaku?" The nurse slowly pronounces the name that was present on her board.
Shikamaru quietly raised his hand before he was instructed to, "Please come with me."
He briefly peers over at his coworker, who physically urges him to follow the nurse by a nod of his head.
"Luckily, she was able to stabilize due to some fast thinking to seal part of the wound. The attacker barely missed her vital internal organ but…there was some kind of poisonous liquid that coated the blade. Thus they directly injected it into her bloodstream via the blade. Someone tried to really kill her, sir." The nurse divulges what they were able to figure out from the surgery.
The brunette deeply sighs, slides his hands inside of his pockets, and states, "I'm well aware."
The walk to her room was rather quite brief as the nurse leads him up to the glass window to explain, "She's currently asleep from the anesthesia administered during surgery so she should be up in a few hours. However, it mostly depends on her will."
He cordially offers the nurse a sincere "Thanks". However, they were not quick to leave until she gives him a brief yet mandatory rundown of their hospital Visitors Policy.
"So what's the final verdict?" Kiba inquisitively wonders after his coworker returns while his face remains completely unreadable.
"The surgery was successful. The assailant missed major internal organs but the knife was laced with poison." Shikamaru easily summarizes up what the nurse tells him from earlier.
"Poison?!" The wild brunette startlingly proclaims with an expression of shock on his face.
"Usually a shanking is done so that the victim would die from extreme blood loss quickly and quietly. Yet, the poison was an almost guaranteed death sentence." The pineapple style brunette explains why shanking was best for a quick kill.
"Man, that's crazy." The black eyed cop says while he shakes his head in disbelief until hears him ask, "Didn't you say your friend used to take pills for Anorexia, Bulimia and Depression, right?"
Kiba unintentionally scratches the side of his cheeks before he confesses, "Well mostly in high school, she did."
"Do you have those bottles on you by chance?" He suddenly asks about whether or not he was still in possession of the bottles.
"Yeah, paramedics gave 'em back once we got here." The wild brunette replies while he digs inside of his pants pocket, withdraws them and hands them over to him.
"What are you looking for?" Kiba then curiously probes as he watches him untwist the cap and empties the pills into the palm of his hand.
"Just a little something…that's in the ordinary," Shikamaru softly utters while he sifts through the pills until he notices a difference and mentions, "Some of the pills aren't the same size."
"For someone, who routinely deals with prescription drugs, it's typically common to check your pills for any fakes. But, that depends on if you completely trust your Pharmacist." He discloses after he fills the bottles back with the pills.
"So it's someone, who has connections in the Pharmaceutical world?" The wild brunette alleged after he was handed the three orange pill bottles.
"Bingo! But that's not the troublesome part here, just like how we have a Police Officer's oath to watch our brothers back at all time, the Hippocratic Oath is on a whole different other level."
