Over the pounding rain, sirens and flashing red and blue lights mixed with flourecent white blinked shone brightly through the blinding rain. Wind sheild wipers rubbed quickly against the glass of the police vehicle. The headlights were on, creating somewhat of a halo around the haze and pouring weather surrounding them.

"Perfect weather for patrol, eh?" One officer, whose name was Tomoyo, chuckled, griping the steeringwheel and holding it tight despite the four wheel traction the car guarunteed.

"I seriously hold that you were joking," Batsu replied, looking at his partner before he narrowed his eyes through the rain streaking down the window. They were driving slowly, their keen eyes taking longer to look out through the blurred windows for any signs of trouble.

"Stop the car!" Batsu yelled, his partner slamming on the breaks and jerking the car roughly to a stop, but not before sliding a little and almost hitting a nearby wall leading into a dark alley.

Groaning, Tomoyo looked up and rubbed his neck. Whiplash was a very bad thing sometimes. "What was that all about?"

He tried to look out of the back window, seeing nothing except the river trails of water running down the side of the vehicle. He turned to his partner once more and stared at him hard with his eyes before answering,"I thought I saw something…"

Tomoyo groaned again at Batsu's odd behavior. "Thought…?" He muttered under his breath.

Looking down at his gun, Batsu set his jaw firmly and looked at his partner before roughly nodding and opening the door to step out into the heavy rain that was flooding the streets, and even some homes on lower levels. There would be a lot of mudslides in the forests now.

"Is anyone out here?" Batsu questioned, hand over the holster to his gun just incase. It was very odd that anyone would be out in weather such as this, most of the shops and businesses were closed so people could go home or stay in the office until the storm blew over, which would take a while judging by the wather hitting them currently.

"Hello!" He called once more, taking a cautious step towards the entrance of the alley. He stopped and looked down at his feet and frowned when he saw a dark shadow a few inches away from him.

Orange hair flashed in a sudden streak of lightening and he gasped, ending down to check for a pulse on the unmoving figure. Heart racing and blood pounding, he fumbled with the straps of his radio hanging posiely on his belt.

Ripping it off forcefully, he checked the boy lying with wounds marring his body all over, clothing mostly torn off. Bite marks and bruises showed the possibility of an attack by a roaming gang member was more likely, possibly even… he stopped that thought and shivered. A small, weak and fastly paced pulse reached his sensitive finger tips. He sighed with relieve that the boy was at least still alive.

"Get some abulances over here!" He heard the door of the vehicle he was in open and close, Tomoyo most likely hearing the message from his radio in the car.

"This is officer Batsu, on…" The message went on, continuing to run through the police system as an ambulance with one of the best medical team was assembled.

"What's going on!" Tomoyo yelled into the blinding rain, cupping his hands in hopes that his voice would travel farther as he raced over to the crouched and hunched form of his partner in the force.

"I don't know, I found this kid." The teen was pastely white, breathing shallow and labored. Both officers frowned, wishing that time would speed up so that the medical vehicles would arrive, but they would have to be careful and drive safely.

The rain continued to pour on the pondering police men, hitting against their flesh like shards of ice. "I think…I think that he was tortured," He narrowed his eyes at another thought, "The culprit's probably still out there…" Other's could be in danger.

Other people like Tohru Honda.
