Crumple Zone

Akiza's heart froze as one of his hands grasped her chin and forced her eyes to meet his own as he maneuvered her so she was sitting on the edge of the examination table. "Why so quiet, Rose?" he whispered, bringing his face close enough so he could nuzzle her cheek. Her posture stiffened as his other hand rested on her thigh. Fear seized her as she spotted a TT-33 on his hip as one of his knees forced her legs apart. "Don't you know how much I've missed you?"

"What did you do to me?" Her voice didn't waiver, nor did it crack as she nearly spat those words. Pain erupted all over her being as one of his hands disappeared behind her head and a tingling numbness overcame her senses as he held up a remote of some sort. His lips moved but the what he said was lost as her vision blurred and she slipped into unconsciousness.

"I haven't done anything yet," he whispered, briefly brushing his lips against her throat as he supported her form with his own. "This will teach you to appreciate me more."

"After close examination, it's obvious that whoever implanted the chip had no knowledge in the craft so there is plenty of worry for complications that it may cause." Leo and Luna nodded as the head doctor lead them down the hallway. They quickly found Yusei and were given permission to enter an examination room so they could view the results. "As you can see," the doctor held up their pen and pointed to the white square that rested near her C1. "the chip itself is implanted into the spinal structure, not the spinal nervous system itself."

Yusei held up a hand as they made to continue. "Is it removeable?" His gut twisted as they confessed that the surgery would be long and difficult, but not impossible. "How soon can it be removed?" The doctor turned their attention back to the MRI and x-ray but instantly quieted as Yusei grasped their shoulder and turned them back to face one another.

"It's been so long that the muscles have attached themselves to the chip." Luna spoke up, her eyes dropping to the floor. "One wrong move and she could end up-"

"With the technology we have, that might happen." the doctor intervened, removing Yusei's hand and taking a seat at their computer. "The hospital in Moscow, with the assistance of the manufacturers of the chip, would have a higher success rate." Luna asked what the odd would be if the procedure was performed at the hospital in Domino, her twin wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "The odds of a successful removal without her losing any movement capabilities while at this hospital are anywhere from 63-74%."

Yusei nodded, excusing himself from the room as Leo and Luna began drilling the white coat. His footsteps were fast and echoed throughout the hallway as he made his way towards the entrance of the hospital. He was in time to see multiple Security vehicles pull up near the loading bay. Confusion filled him as officers swarmed the building, carefully examining each and every person they came across. Crow materialized next to him, an expression of anger and frustration on his face. "What's going on?"

"We just got a call from one of the nurses," the ginger explained, gesturing for Yusei to follow as he and his squad began trekking through the hallways. "a man with blonde hair and menthol based cologne was reported entering the premises and resisted when asked to identify himself. They reported that he was carrying a weapon." He slid to a halt as his friend turned the other way and raced for the stairs. "Where are you going?!"

"It's Darwin! He's after Akiza!" Yusei shouted. He quickly filled Crow in about their discovery of the chip as they took the stairs up to the imaging ward and slid to a halt as screams came from behind the door.

Crow maneuvered himself in front of Yusei as they entered, keeping a firm hold on his full body shield and ensuring that it was in a position that would protect the both of them in case the worse occurred. Sapphire and silver orbs widened as staff and patients rushed past them as gunshots were heard. Their movements were quick but cautious as they began examining each room they encountered. The father they ventured, the more unsettling the silence became. Crow's squad had split up, leaving himself with Yusei and two others. Yusei made to call out for Akiza but Crow was quick to stop him. "It would inform them of our location." Their attention instantly focused on the hallway fork ahead of them as sounds of movement were heard and they came to a halt fourteen meters from the corner. The two squad members readied their weapons as a shadow appeared on the floor, one demanding that the figure to make themselves known.

"Are any of the patients injured?" a feminine voice called. "I train at the U.K.E and just want to make sure that everyone is unharmed."

"Akiza?" Yusei and Crow chorused. Relief filled them as she stepped out into the hallway. Yusei couldn't contain himself and promptly collected her in his arms. "I'm so glad you're-" His words died as her figure began to tremble. He didn't have to ask. "Which way?" he whispered, his hold tightening. Crow and his team members took off in the direction she pointed down the way she had come. Yusei leaned against the wall and slowly lowered them to the floor so he could better cradle her in his arms. "I'm sorry…" Akiza's head rose from his chest as he buried his face in her hair, revealing dry tear tracks. She remained silent as he fought with his inner emotions for many minutes, one of her hands rising to rest on his cheek as the other clung to his shirt.

Crow couldn't help his frustration as he searched for the Russian. That bastard had harassed one of his closest friends, managed to sneak past border patrols of two different countries and had implanted a stolen microchip that was putting her life and privacy in jeopardy. "Dammit it all to hell," he muttered to himself as the other squads reported no sightings of the man. His eyes studied the area where the gunshots were reported, quickly finding four holes; two in the ceiling, one in the floor, and another through one of the open doors. Each were anywhere from four meters to twenty meters apart from one another. Was he attempting to shoot a moving target, possibly a staff member so he could get Akiza's location? He asked if any injuries were reported over the radio and received a negative. After calling for a forensics team, he headed back to where he had left the duo and felt as though someone had yanked out his larynx.

Akiza was being cradled by Yusei, her eyes were dull and she looked as fragile as an infant with the silent tears trickling down her face. She had been lively and smiling at the party. The girl before him, though, was like a puppet with its strings cut. "Yusei, what did the doctor say?" He shook his head and refused to raise it from her shoulder. Her hands gently pushed against his chest so she was able to see his face, caramel orbs meeting his sapphire. Uncertainty and helplessness were reflected in his orbs while hers held only calm understanding. "I figured my chances were small, but I have no intention of leaving any of you. I'm more than prepared to go to Moscow and collaborate with the chip engineers."

"No one will blame you if you want to stay," Yusei's arms tightened around her as he rested his forehead against her own. "I won't force you to go and I refuse to let you go alone."

"None of us would." Crow plopped himself down next to them, drawing their attention. He offered a small smile as her eyes met his own. "We would all want to go with you. Myself, the twins, even Jack would probably go."

She shook her head. "It comforts me knowing how you all feel, but I'm not going to let this disrupt your lives."

"That may not be necessary." They all looked up as a figure approached. Crow and Yusei, who kept Akiza close to his chest, rose to their feet as Viktor removed his fedora but gestured for them to one of the rooms as the staff members began to appear. The Russian locked the door and turned his full attention on the girl Yusei had laid on the examination bed. "Pozhaluysta, prosti menya, Rouz, za grekhi, sovershennyye moim synom." He took a seat on her left side, one of his hands brushing a few strands of hair from her face as her eyes met his. A hand brought one of her own to his lips as he shook his head. "I would have never guessed that my own flesh and blood would do such things to you."

Crow cast a questioning glance to Yusei and his gray orbs widened as formal introductions were made. "Give me one good reason not to arrest you here and now."

"If you value Akiza's life, you won't arrest me." Viktor's orbs bore into Crow's as they moved to stand toe to toe. "For a short ginger, you sure are calm."

"Enough of the testosterone, you two. The second you two start flexing your muscles is the instant I leave." Akiza groaned, sitting up and leaning against Yusei. "I do not hold you accountable for your son, Viktor, he is his own person as are you."

"Even so, a father takes responsibility for his son." The Russian bowed his head lowly in her direction.

All eyes turned to the door as banging sounded and Crow activated his shield in time to protect them as the door was nearly blown off its hinges. Two private Security agents dressed in black tuxedos entered the room, quickly followed by a tall man with graying hair. Crow instantly backed off as Akiza slid off the bed and threw herself at the new figure. He embraced her warmly, hand rubbing her back soothingly as she buried her face in his chest. "It's alright, my beautiful rose, I'm here." Hideo Izinski may have spoken softly to his daughter, but his eyes and tone hardened as he turned his attention to Viktor. "We have much to discuss."

Aaaaaaaaand scene!
