"Spotted! Where!" Tsuzuki turned on Watari quickly. His face spoke of the punishment waiting for Watari if it was just a tale, or if he would not tell. Watari was even more frightened now. Tsuzuki was worked up now, if Tsuzuki was to run wild now it could jeopardize any and all attempts to locate and/or rescue Hisoka. It was Watari's duty now to keep Tsuzuki calm enough until a plan could be laid out and a search grid made for an easier search.
"Calm down Tsuzuki, you're no good worked up like this. We're not entirely sure where Hisoka is, but one of our undercover employees claims to have seen him at a hospital, working as the good doctor again as usual. We're planning a search party of the city and all surrounding cities now" Watari put his hands out slowly, reaching for Tsuzuki, he had to calm him he had to... Watari breathed a sigh of relief, a very small, barely noticed one, one more for himself when his hands landed on Tsuzuki's shoulders. Thing had been so bad lately, the man had become a shut in. If it wasn't information on the search for Hisoka he didn't talk to anyone, not even when passing them in the hall or any such manners. He went searching for Hisoka and when not doing that, he locked himself away in his room, not even sweets of any sort, even apple pie, could drag him out.
"Where was he seen Watari. You can't do this to me, Hisoka.. Hisoka's been there for so long he might be hurt or..." Tsuzuki's voice trailed off, he didn't want to finish the thought. If that thought were even to cross his mind, he feared he would jinx it, that it would come true. Tsuzuki instead shook his head violently. It was as if he was shaking the image, the very thought from his mind. Hisoka was alright was all he could keep telling himself, it was a mantra in his mind, he forced himself to believe when he doubted and it was the last thread keeping him sane. He was alright. He was alright.
Watari stared at the man. He seemed so strong when he'd first come in, but he was breaking down now, Watari could sense it in hi, with every shake of his head, through every spasm in his muscles that Watari could feel under his palms. Tsuzuki really was trying, he was putting his all into remaining the rock for Hisoka, even though no one knew where he was. Hisoka...
Watari knew the boy to be alive, it would have been known to the ministry if he'd been killed by now and Muraki would not still be keeping it so close, hiding as well as he was. The one worry Watari had, was the child. Hisoka had to be about six months along, and he was so pale, so thin and sickly when he'd left. Muraki might not know, or he might. He could have taken Hisoka for that reason, to keep or kill the child inside him, it was still unable to be seen. All Watari knew was that the baby was at risk, therefore putting Hisoka at risk as well. If the doctor hadn't figured it out, or had he figured it out too late, without the right vitamins and minerals or food.. He prayed the doctor had given the boy the proper care. Then the thought crossed his mind.. The little green eyed shinigami had to of grown, it had to be visible given that Muraki gave the boy any care at all. When Tsuzuki found him.. he'd know, he'd have figure out something and then what would he or Hisoka say. What would Muraki say. He could crush Tsuzuki, in his already fragile state, Tsuzuki could not have possibly taken much more.
"Tsuzuki... Tsuzuki.." Watari coaxed the man from his angered and frenzied state. His eye were opened, not wide, but wider than normal, his lips slacked and voice cracking. "Tsuzuki, sit down for a moment... there's something, I've got to tell you.." Watari shook, trying to swallow down air around the lump that's formed itself in his throat.
Tsuzuki was slightly taken back by this. Watari knew where Hisoka was, they'd have him back soon. Tsuzuki wanted the information, and the stress, physical, emotional and mental had all caught up to him, he knew it was taking a toll on him but he knew he could find Hisoka now, now that he knew he was so close, almost there. It was like the adrenaline he needed to kick him back into shape, exactly the boost he needed. Why now would Watari be scared, of all times? So he slowly sat down, watching intently the man for any changes in his story, and downfalls to their plans or any information that they knew had happened to Hisoka.
Watari paced a few moments after Tsuzuki had sat down. He paced, trying to find what he needed to say in words. He'd be going back on a promise he told Hisoka, he'd promised not to tell Tsuzuki, vowing to let the boy do it on his own free will rather than being nosey and telling his business to the ministry. However, now was just the sort of time where promises needed to be broken, where vows were useless in the face of what happened. If Tsuzuki was to find out what had happened after finding Hisoka, one or more of many things could go wrong with him. He could hate Hisoka, leave him, thought Watari doubted that. Watari was more worried, about Muraki using it against Tsuzuki. Tsuzuki was too weak now from all the sleepless days and nights searching. If he found out any other way, it could put one or both of them at risk of death. Of course, telling Tsuzuki, and explaining how it was his fault, was taking a risk at his own demise.
Knees and hands shaking, Watari sat in a seat across from Tsuzuki. "Tsuzuki... I don't know how to tell you but... I know why .. I think I know why Muraki.. kidnapped Hisoka..." 'Kidnapped."... what a word to use, what irony.
"Watari..."
"See.. Hisoka is..."
