[Karin]
"Whew, I made it back safely." She happily chimes once she finally crawls back within the Interrogation room and closes the door back.
Her red eyes casually scope out the now rather empty space while she thinks, 'Wow…they really did take Ice.'
The young woman was eventually diverting her sights back to the door while mentally considering some of her options, 'Should I huddle in a corner or lay face down on the floor?'
'Hmm…I guess I got to do something drastic.' Karin inwardly assumes as she raises her open palm, braces her head and slaps herself across the face.
She aimlessly stumbles about before she deems that it was not enough so she balls her fingers until they dig in to her palms and punches herself in the jaw.
The red head was heavily breathing when her inner voice was suddenly remarking, 'It's still not enough!'
Her sights soon caught sight of the door as she deeply inhaled and speedily dashed forward until she physically collided with it.
'So that should be enough for them to think I was hit in the face.' The young woman was privately presuming while deeply sinking her sharp manicure nails inside of her forearms and dragging them across until reaching her wrist.
A euphoric "ah" excitingly escapes her lips at the sudden adrenaline rush as her blood naturally seeps through her pores.
'Now for the cherry on top of the sundae,' Karin finally mulls over once she approaches the metallic table and rests her forehead against it.
The young woman repeatedly bashed her head against it to the point that she was borderline conscious and deliberately knocked it over once she was finished.
'I think…I went…a little too far.' The red head was ultimately concluding as her body was haphazardly swaying from Vertigo until falling out of the seat.
The sound of footsteps faintly drew near her when a baritone voice deeply echoed, "Are you hurt anywhere, ma'am?"
Her red eyes barely focuses in on the sight of the officers' face as she dryly remarks, "No but...they dragged her out of here."
"Did you hear anything they said?" One of them quickly questions the woman, whose eyes slowly closes and opens.
Her inner voice deliberately recited the instruction from the violet eyed male, 'Don't say anything until designated.'
"I couldn't hear…the gunshots." The red head easily fibs before the same officer eventually notes that she was currently unconscious.
'She's not telling me something.'
[Kakashi]
"You look like a ghost, Hatake." Anko's voice audibly rings in his ears while his sights remaindutifully hone in on the mess that presently occupies his desk.
"I'm naturally pale, Ank." He then promptly reminded her that it was the rather usual lack of melanin in his skin.
Her sights casually land on the battered door, which earned her comment, "Right…they got some major balls. To come and shoot up a federal building."
"You think it's the Dollhouse investigation?" She was probing in to his current line of thinking about the potential identities of the assailants.
The slate haired officer leisurely leans against the back of his chair when he confesses, "I always suspected something like this would happen if we were dealing with a genuine cartel."
"Especially since we raided a rather full storage house, robbed from them, and have witnesses that'll expose their dealings."
"If you really think the prosecutors are going to have a field day with that dope fiend, you got another thing coming." The purple haired officer refutes their District Attorney's ability to seal the deal on a conviction.
"Well what about the Haruno girl that was murdered? You think they should get off? Come on Miturashi." The seated male curiously contests the young woman's logic behind her earlier statement.
The standing woman was shaking her head while honestly opining, "Realistically speaking, they may. And I swallow a bitter ass horse pill by admitting that."
"Alright, alright, alright, you two," Asuma's voice suddenly interrupts their conversation when he includes, "Nothing's going to get solved by an argument."
"Butt out." The couple was simultaneously ordering the brunette with an intense expression present on their faces.
"So immature," He softly renders about their over the top reaction to him being the mediator between the two.
Kakashi then faces the first occupant in his office space, stares at her and declares, "I think you're Anko Miturashi doppelgänger because she doesn't give up so easily."
"The spring of love is overflowing I must…" Might Guy excitingly conveys his joys about his eternal youthful spirit.
"Shut it Guy!" They furiously demanded as they both aimed their service weapon directly at his face for being yet another distract in their conversation.
"Such a beautiful eruption!" He enthusiastically gasped right before his soul briefly departed from his body after he stared down the barrel of two guns.
Asuma merely rolls his eyes and shakes his head at the scene that plays out in front of him.
[Tenten]
"I thought you were taking me to your headquarters?!" Tenten nervously questions once they arrive at a commercial area instead of the KDEA building.
The two officers in the front unintentionally ignore her question since they were in the midst of a conversation.
"HQ has been breached." "So what's next?"
His beady eyes get a glimpse of the area when a familiar landmark catches his attention, "We could head to my place."
"Don't you have an 8:00am class?" The brunette was quickly reminding him about his schedule all while receiving directions from his passenger.
His partner casually eases against the body of the seat as he affirms, "And you live in a one bedroom."
"Besides, you don't like for people to invade your personal area." The Opal eyes officer briefly ponders about his statement before he finds himself in agreeance, "Good point,"
A few minutes later…
"A dojo?" The young mother was curiously murmuring while carrying a sleeping Tao against her shoulders while watching Lee speedily dashing up to steel bars and unlocking the gate.
The brunette swiftly casts his sights over to the woman when he reveals, "Lee runs a dojo in his spare time. "
"He's an extremely avid martial artist practitioner." He includes while he momentarily closes his eyes until they hear, "Come on in,"
"Pardon the mess. It seems as if one of the instructors forgot to clean up again." Rock Lee was explaining why they were presently stepping over randomly scatter mess about the tatami floor.
The brunette silently marvels at the sight before her eyes when she shockingly inquiries, "Are all of these yours?!"
A proud smile stretches across his face once he stands in front of his trophy case, points to a particular section and positively confirms, "Majority of them but these are my favorites."
"So you teach all ages?" The lone female in the group enquiringly poses all while she avoids some additional fallen equipment.
"Everyone should learn how to properly defend themselves." The raven haired man firmly proclaims while he tightly clenches his fist with flames in his eyes.
Rock Lee eventually stopped at an entryway where a neatly folded futon await for someone to sleep in. "You all can sleep in here if you like."
"Thanks," Tenten graciously thanks the kind officer for his hospitality with a slight bow at her waist.
A slight blush unknowingly dusts his cheeks from her sudden show of appreciation for his small gesture.
"Let me know if you need anything." He adds in, which prompts her to nod her head as a show that she understands before she enters inside.
"You should probably go check on your place." The bowl cut male suggests since the only outfit he owns is the green spandex jumpsuit.
"I have plenty of spares in my locker." His partner easily nixes that problem at hand after her peers up at the young man in front of him. "Besides, I'll take the first watch."
"Roger that."
[Metropolitan Konohagakure Hospital]
"Is there any way to have these two rooms on a one nurse watch?" Shikamaru inquisitively probes to the nurse in charge as they currently stand near the long desk.
"It's against…" The woman opened her mouth to recite standard procedures only to be interrupted by the brunette, "We just had two fake nurses attempt to kill these young ladies in their sleep. That's all the proof you need."
The Head Nurse swiftly approaches the duo when she vocally makes known, "We're already on that as we speak, sir."
He simply nods his head forward and offers a polite thanks, "Thank you ma'am,"
"Oi, Shika, who was your nurse?" Kiba curiously wonders oncd he finds his coworker at the nurse station after the two nurses left his side.
His sights deliberately glance over at the room number until he provides his answers, "Some random man, I'm having him sent to HQ for Interrogation."
"Even after the alert?" The wild brunette shockingly posed since they had yet to receive any word from headquarters.
The shorter of the two officers was deeply sighing, sliding his hands inside of his pocket and disclosing, "I've already informed Ibiki about him. Did your person say anything weird?"
"Man…she said something like…when you catch a snake you better…" He desperately attempted to recall what the woman said while he scratched the crown of his head.
His close friend easily finishes the adage with, "Cut its head?"
"How'd you know that?!" Kiba astonishingly quipped at the fact he knew the exactly words he attempted to convey to him.
"It's a rather old saying since snakes attack anything whenever it feels threaten. But did you check her body?" The shorter of the two males abruptly poses to his coworker about the woman's body.
An expression of confusion was openly materializing on his face when he anxiously wonders, "Why?! Should I have?"
The sight of a zipped black plastic bodybag on a gurney being wheeled out from a hospital room instantly caught Shikamaru's sights.
"Excuse me sir but did that body just come from that room?" He inquistively requests once he finally draws closer to the bulky man at the end of the bed.
"Yeah, why?" The nurse apprehensively questions the brunette since the man in front of him did not have a nurse badge nor scrubs on.
Shikamaru langiously flashes his badge as well as his credentials while he inwardly thinks, 'If I correctly suspect…than…yep!'
He then speedily snapped a clear picture of her neck before he dropped the sheet back over the woman's deceased body.
"Oi, oi, what was that all about?" Kiba fretfully needles since he did not follow his coworker's line of thought about the female assailant's body.
"Of all the animals in the world, why did she specifically mentions a snake?" He abruptly speaks up while he sends the image in a text message to two numbers.
The taller of the two men momentarily pauses in order to ponder about the answer to the question when he eventually puts forth, "You think she has some ties to the Dollhouse investigation?"
"Obviously, she has the same floral tattoo as the guy before." The pineapple shaped haired brunette annoyingly lipped before he showed his friend the picture he took.
"Not to mention, my attacker repeatedly addressed Temari by her stage name." Shikamaru discloses crucial information about his encounter with the woman's aggressor.
A smirk was soon surfacing across his face while coyly alleging, "Already on a first name basis, huh?"
"She was my opponent in the local Shogi tournament, remember?" He provides a response before he listens to his coworkers audibly chortle and counters, "Right…and I'm a monkey's uncle."
"I wouldn't put it pass you." He slyly remarks, which earns a roll of his eyes from his friend.
"Did you get any updates on the situation at HQ?" The wild brunette enquires about any messages about the situation at headquarters.
Shikamaru shakes his head after he slides his phone in his pocket, momentarily peers in the direction of the body bag, and affirms, "No, not yet but we need to get these girls out of here soon."
[Kimimaro]
"Where are we off to now, Kimimaro?" Jugo inquisitively requested about their final destination once they arrived at what appeared to be a riverside pier.
"Boss ordered us to head to this location." Kimimaro was pointing out after driving alongside a brick building, cutting the engine and ordering for them to exit the van.
The white haired male merely approaches a metallic door, swiftly jabs a combination in on the keypad, and waits for the "click" to open the door.
"To some rank ass warehouse?" One of his men wearily proclaims once a foul odor intensely burns their nostrils upon their entrance.
Another one was desperately gasping for fresh air while another one was hastily pronouncing, "Damn! This place smells really fucking bad."
"Not as bad as your upper lip." Suigetsu brazenly slips in with a smirk present on his face and his hands on his hips since the odor has no affect on him.
The third one swiftly draws closer to the young man, roughly grabs at his collar and irately threatens, "Say that again fish boy."
"Quiet down you two." Kimimaro promptly orders for the two to cease their potential argument once he signals for them to bring in the goods.
Jugo obediently enters in with a thick heavy burlap bag against his shoulders while their leader presses in a numerical code to relock the door behind them.
The white haired male then led them to an opening where Kabuto patiently waited for their arrival, who then issued some instructions.
"Make sure it's tight too." He sternly commands them while his fingers speedily glide over a keyboard of a laptop.
Kimimaro then approaches the gray haired male in order to debrief him on their mission, "Rose wasn't in the premise so we brought you back something even nicer."
A frown visibly surfaces on his face at the news so he purposely reminds them, "Lord Orochimaru doesn't take to kindly to surprises, especially if he specifically requests for it."
He leisurely traveled back over to the woman currently with a bag over her head, snatched the sack off and revealed a blindfolded Hinata.
'Ice?!' His eyes then narrow through his glasses at the woman in front of him, who desperately attempts to figure out her current location.
"Actually…this might have been the best option." The young man ultimately rendered since apparently Ice gone off the map for quite a while.
They merely stared at the frantic indigo haired woman.
[KDEA]
"Ma'am, everyone is present and accounted for, except for Junior Officers Hyuga Neji and Rock Lee." Shizune was relaying her findings on to her superiors while handing her boss a clipboard.
Amber eyes honed in on the two unaccounted officers' name before she promptly ordered, "Get in contact with them."
"Madam Director, do you want me to head over to the university?" Her assistant curiously queries about her previous assign mission.
The blonde inaudibly drops the board on her desk, leans over to the side in order to pull back a drawer while she says, "No…actually I still need you to go."
"What time is it?" The Director was asking for the time while removing a drinking cup and a jar full of sake from inside of her drawer.
The Assistant Director casually entered inside of his boss office with a stout wave of his hand and a merry "Yo!".
"Jiraya, did you pull some strings?" Tsunade was enquiringly posing to her subordinate while carefully pouring a decent cup full of alcohol.
"Didn't have to…it's a joint lecture." He finally reveals with a slight wave of his hand in the air as he approaches the two women.
"A joint lecture?" The other two occupants in the office inquisitively needles at the phrase "joint" lecture from the older man.
Jiraya nods his head, lifts his index finger and eagerly conveys, "Yeah, I said I was doing apiece on the Medical world…you know the Anatomy of a Woman."
"Perv!" The petite woman honestly rendered about the older man's personality in front of her.
"Anyway, Shizune you'll do most of the talking during this particular lecture." He pronounces as he faces the woman currently on her feet and reveals the time, "Scheduled for 9:30 am."
"Diligent as ever." The seated woman genuinely commended Jiraya for a job well done.
Her Amber eyes cut over to her Assistant Secretary and advises, "Do pass it over to this pervert whenever you hit a roadblock so you won't look like a deer in headlights."
The slender woman confidently proclaims, "Yes ma'am."
"Madam director, we have a problem."
