Sasabe and Akutsu were quiet for a moment before they moved towards the exit. As Sasabe started moving to the door he looked back at Akutsu who was still staring at the family on the ground. Sasabe deciding it was best to leave so they wouldn't get caught spoke up to try and get him out of his trance. "Akutsu we need to leave, now. I don't want us being seen so let's hurry before the cops get here".

However, almost as if on cue you could hear sirens wailing in the distance. Sasabe not wanting to end up getting caught ran out the door and down the street while pulling a hood over his head. Akutsu mumbling something under his breath then kicking Nanjiro across the floor and on top of his son then turned to leave. As he walked out the door he started to quicken his pace and also pull a hoodie over himself just in case.

As he made his way down the street he only glanced back once when a swarm of different cars stopped around the area of the house he just left. Turning back to the direction he was heading he saw Sasabe sitting on a bench waiting for him. As he stood up he said, "We were just out playing tennis, nothing more nothing less, got it"? Akutsu nodded and they continued their way around the bend leaving behind all thoughts of what happened and went home to each owns house.

'Paging Doctor Matsuo', 'Paging DoctorMatsuo, you are needed at the emergency platform immediately ' the person on the intercom said. Takao's senses went on high alert when the announcement was made. One he was on break so this had to be an emergency and the only reason he would be needed where the ambulance usually unloads new patients is because they would be gaining a new addition to the hospital. The only thing that worried him was the announcer sounded frantic and worried about this announcement. It must be serious, looks like the day is about to get a lot worse.

When he got to the platform he only had to wait a minute or two before the ambulance rolled up and the doors swung open. As the stretcher was unloaded he couldn't help but let his mouth drop a little at the condition of his new patient. It was a very small boy who looked to be around the age of 4 or 5 but the loss of blood and large amounts of bruises on his face and body made him look younger and more fragile. I listened to the medic's evaluation of the boy so far and it didn't sound too bright.

Multiple broken ribs, sprained wrist and ankle, broken femur bone, dislocated shoulder, and a large cut going down his side with many more injuries following. As we rolled him into surgery I took a deep breath and prayed to Kami that he would make it through okay. After all, I have a son myself and if something like this were to happen to my son….man oh man, I don't know what I would do. 'Well time to get to work', Matsuo thought to himself as he was finished scrubbing and entered the room ready to help relieve the poor boy of his injuries.

Coming out of the stuffy room with sweat lacing his brow Matsuo let out a sigh of relief. The surgery took a lot longer because they almost lost him halfway through and again near the end, barely managing to keep him alive. As he turned the corner he almost ran into one of his favorite nurses, Tanaka Nanami. "Glad you're here Nanami-chan. We just finished operating on a new patient and I think you will get along with him very nicely" he said with a sad smile.

Nanami raised an eyebrow at this comment wondering what could be so different about this case. Matsuo let out another sigh and said, "Meet me at the nurses' station once you've squared away any other business first, then I'll tell you who I have for you". With a nod and an "okay" from Nanami and a short 'Good' from under his breath they went down the hallway until they needed to part ways.

Matsuo went straight for the nurses' station to retrieve the boy's folder and wait for Nanami. Grabbing the folder and filling out his current condition among other things, he remembered that there wasn't any type of family or friend in the ambulance when he got here. Asking the nurse working at the station if anyone had asked for the boy or his condition, he was surprised when she answered with a no.

Looking back down to the folder he started to get a bad feeling in his gut like usual when trouble was near. Just down the hallway the elevator doors opened and a police officer stepped out looking quite solemn with a woman right behind him. Little did the doctor know that the boy was now an orphan and had no family to look after him.

Matsuo found himself staring at the boy's papers in shock. The policeman had just told him what the boy's situation was and he couldn't believe it. The man had brought the child care worker with him to explain to the boy everything and be there for him but Matsuo said no. He didn't want that stuffy old worker to break such news to the child yet. Not yet.

He was already in critical condition and he wouldn't be awake for a while so he told her to come back in a few days' time. Matsuo didn't want her sitting around reminding him about the situation and making it worse than it was, the boy, he imagined, would feel the same. That lady didn't seem compassionate in the slightest how couldshe make it better.
