Summary:
The joint forces of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Center had raided a secret Umbrella complex after an anonymous tip had told the former of its presence. Center SHADOW agent Mark Sy had fought the elusive ninja Geki, while secretly being watched by off-duty officers Kaoruko Kinoshita and Miyuki Kobayakawa. Was Geki correct when he said that ex-Detective Tadashi Emoto was really involved with the strange serial murders in Greater Tokyo or is this merely a ploy for another plot? Stay tune to this chapter to find out.
Chapter 3: Perspective
Entrance, Bokuto Police Station, Sumida, Tokyo, Japan
"Ohayo!" Saori greeted the two agents after they had parked their Hummer H2 in the parking lot adjacent to the station's entrance.
"Ohayo, Saori!" Mark greeted back. Saori Saga, the recent recruit to Bokuto Station after getting into complications with the law.
"Are the other officers in there?" asked Dan, as he and Mark were being lead to the briefing room.
Saori nodded. "Only those who were called though."
Briefing Room, Bokuto Police Station, Sumida, Tokyo, Japan
"Kinoshita-keibu." Saori announced her presence. "The two agents are already here."
"Arigato, Saga-junsa." Kaoruko thanked the young officer for escorting Mark and Dan in the briefing room. "Have a seat, boys."
With Mark and Dan seated in front of Miyuki, Natsumi and Saori, their seat was then occupied by Detective Tokuno and Sugihara.
"Hello, boys." Tokuno greeted the two Center agents. "Glad you two are here for the debriefing. We could use your input."
"We'll try what we can." Dan replied, nodding his head.
"All right." began Kachou, who stood up after seeing Aoi and Yoriko had already entered the room. "Let's begin with the debriefing."
Saori stood up from her seat and debriefed her colleagues on yesterday's situations from her report. "Yesterday at 6:00 PM, we've received a anonymous tip from an unknown caller who said that the Umbrella R&D office in the Sumida Ward has been housing an underground base illegally for a number of years. The caller's voice was a male, but was synthetic in order to hide his identity."
"After cordoning the said area," Aoi then stood up and read his report after Saori sat down. "we were able to detain most of the office's employees. Surprisingly, the office also had a number of armed guards. But they gave in without resisting with the exception of a single guard killed by an SAT operative."
Ryosuke Arisugawa, a 24-year old newcomer into the station's Criminal Investigation Section, was next to present his report when he stood up from his seat after Aoi took his seat.
"We've managed to ID some of the dead gunmen inside the hidden research center after contacting our Interpol representatives in the Keishicho. Interpol has given some of their identities so far since several others inside are needed to be identified as well. They appear to be foreign mercenaries with one of them having Japanese nationality."
"Arigato, Arisugawa-tantei." Kaoruko thanked Ryosuke before another man stood up next to Ryosuke. "You have something to add, Okabayashi-tantei?"
"Hai." replied Shunsuke Okabayashi, a detective in Bokuto Station's Security Division, was next to give details in the debriefing. "According to initial investigation on the facility, it's believed to be constructed back in '97. I don't have further details yet." Leafing through another page, Shunsuke continued to add more details. "As for the dead mercenaries, most of them have entered Japan two weeks ago, some on fake passports. We're running a check to see if we can find out where they got the fake passports. As for the dead mercenary with Japanese nationality, we're doing a background check. The name we got on him was Kirachi Minami, ex-JGSDF from the 1st Airborne Brigade. Formerly served in East Timor and Golan Heights in UN Peacekeeping missions before resigning."
"Seems like these guys were Umbrella Special Forces Unit operatives." Dan said to answer some of the officer's mingling questions about the dead mercenaries. "Mostly do wetworks for Umbrella."
"I see." replied Kachou. "Then they appear to be heavily armed, most especially for a black ops unit."
"Of course..." Kaoruko added. "We'd like to ask you two for your thoughts about this situation." Why do I get the feeling that I'm waltzing on memory lane?
"I can give a few thoughts." Mark replied, waving his hand like he knew the subject. "One theory is that an ex-Umbrella employee decided to go honest and tell us about that place. Two, Umbrella was desperate to get above the authorities and lured us in in order to maximize casualties. But..."
"Is there something else?" Kachou asked. All the other officers eyed Mark, scratching his head after taking off his ballcap.
"This is only a gut feeling that I've had so far." explained Mark. "But I have a feeling that someone is manipulating the events here so as to blame Umbrella. Think about it. The American government has begun the lead to dismantle the company by making arrests on its employees and freezing its assets in the US."
"That would be true." replied Kaoruko. "After the Raccoon City disaster, almost all national governments have begun law enforcement activites against them. So your theory would be right, Mark."
"I agree here." added Kachou. "So if this is the case, then that means it has to be someone who knows a lot about the company itself."
"All right." Kaoruko stood up from her seat. "We'll need to gather more evidence to determine if Umbrella or someone else is responsible for these murders. For now, everyone's dismissed."
Corridor, Bokuto Police Station, Sumida, Tokyo, Japan
"A word with you, Mark." Kaoruko said after being the last to leave the briefing room.
"Yes?" Mark gestured to Dan to go on ahead.
"I have to ask you something..." Kaoruko began to trail off.
"Is it about the park?" Mark asked. He smirked then Kaoruko blushed a bit. "I understand. Don't worry about it..."
"What were you doing there last night?" Kaoruko asked him. "It's too dangerous, especially if you're a specialist as Detective Tokuno says you are..."
"What I was doing in the park is my business." insisted the SHADOW operative and sighed. "The Center doesn't need to answer to the police, the military or any law enforcement, military or intelligence agency."
"Mark!" Dan hollered from the end of the hallway. "We've got a call."
"I have to go. Excuse me." Mark did a "I'm sorry" gesture by raising his right hand sidewards while facing the stunned Assistant Inspector before leaving.
"Kinoshita-keibu." Aoi asked, strolling by her with some folders under his left arm. "What was that about?"
Kaoruko shook her head. "It was nothing."
Apartment Building, somewhere in Sumida, Tokyo, Japan
"Here we are." Dan parked the H2 in a curb a few meters away from the apartment building. "I've got a call from MOM saying that we need to search an apartment room here. Cops have given the go ahead."
"Great." Mark got out of his H2, SO19 ballcap already worn. "Java's here?"
"Hey, Mark." greeted the ex-caveman. "MOM said I come."
"Good to see you, big guy." Mark and Java gave each other high fives.
"Come on." Dan said after locking the H2. "The landlord told police that one of the supposed men linking to the Umbrella complex has an apartment. Our job's to search it and find relevant information related to the murders."
Room 100, Apartment Building, somewhere in Sumida, Tokyo, Japan
The three Center operatives busted into the quiet apartment building, seeing no signs of any occupants.
"No one here." Dan said, holstering his Para Ordnance P14-45 pistol on his Desantis Patriot Shoulder Rig.
"Appears to be." Mark said, gripping his Sig Sauer SP 2022 pistol. "Let's search the place. I'll take the kitchen. Java, take the bedrooms. Dan, take the living room and the office. There should be some information."
"Nothing here." Mark mumbled. "Kitchen seems fine."
"Java find nothing." Java yelled from the bedroom area. "Just some papers."
"Hold onto it! I'm coming." Mark replied, on the way to see him when he heard Dan's voice calling for help from the living room area.
"Dan!" When the two Center agents entered the room, he saw Dan was being attacked by another person on the ground. The assailant had a Caucasian look with blonde hair.
"Okay!" Mark pointed his Sig Sauer SP 2022 at the assailant's head. "Freeze! SHADOW agent."
"SHADOW agent?" murmured the assailant, raising his hands up. "Hey, hey. Don't shoot! I'm from WOOHP!"

"Ano, Miyuki?" Natsumi asked Miyuki. "What did you think of the theory coming from Mark?"
"From Mark? Miyuki replied. "I think he has some points in there. But we'll need substantial evidence before we can come into further conclusion."
Natsumi leaned back on her seat. "I don't know. For one thing, Mark seems to be telling the truth." It's a good thing that this case isn't done during Hanami.
"Don't worry about that for now." Miyuki smiled. "Let's concentrate on our patrol for now."
Lobby, Apartment Building, somewhere in Sumida, Tokyo, Japan
"Hey, what is WOOHP anyway?" asked Dan, seated in the lobby with Java, Mark and Marty, who attacked him inside the abandoned apartment. "Don't get me wrong, I'm not that well informed these days."
"WOOHP stands for World Organization Of Human Protection." explained Marty, seated next to Mark. "It's an anti-crime organization. Uses mostly gals our age too. But he's among the first few guy spies to be selected."
"This is the first time that I've heard of WOOHP taking a case that could have terrorist leanings in here too." advised Dan, massaging his forehead when Marty attacked him with a headbutt.
"I've been in the case after anonymous tip was fed to us by the Tokyo MPD." Marty explained further. "I just got here a few minutes ago after being told by Jerry."
"I have a feeling that the Center should be on the case." Mark said, now facing Dan. "Dan, go get MOM on the phone and ask her to inform WOOHP to let us take the rest of the case..."
Outskirts of Apartment Building, somewhere in Sumida, Tokyo, Japan
"Mr. Krauser."
A Japanese man, who was speaking in fluent English on a cellphone, was standing on the sidewalk adjacent of the apartment building with a group of men wearing dark black windbreakers.
"Targets have been confirmed to enter the building. Yes, our contact within the MPD has told us about them."
Krauser told the man his instructions. "Eliminate those agents at once! We can't have them compromise our upcoming plans for the late afternoon."
"Understood, sir. I'll call you back when things are done."
"So what now?" Dan asked, as he, Mark, Java and Marty walked outside of the apartment.
"We get MOM. You do that." Mark instructed, gritting his teeth. "Don't you remember?"
Something's bad. Mark, from the corner of his left eye, studied the group of men wearing dark black windbreakers approaching them. It's a shame we parked a few meters away from the apartment...
"Java see weapons..." The muscular man pointed to the windbreaker-wearing men, who were now drawing out their concealed firearms.
"SHIT! GET DOWN!" yelled Mark, who saw that their weapons consisted of HK MP5K and Israel Military Industries (IMI) Mini-Uzi submachine guns.

"Dispatch! This is Car # 9! Gunshots are heard in the Ishiwara area! I repeat, gunshots fired from the Ishiwara area!"
"Car # 9! Reinforcements are on the way en route to the Ishiwara area!"
"Dispatch! This is Bike # 3! I'm in the Ishiwara area myself! I can go and give support!"
"Nakajima-kun's heading there?" asked Miyuki.
"This is Car # 7!" Natsumi grabbed the microphone and depressed the speak button. "We're on the way to Ishiwara ourselves too! Over!"
"Negative, Car # 7." came the reply. "You two don't have offensive weapons to take these gunmen. Wait for Counter Firearms Unit teams to arrive."
"Natsumi." Miyuki said to her partner. "Hang on. We'll be there in a few minutes..." She then pressed the Nitro button near her dashboard. "Nitro on!"
Somewhere in the streets of Ishiwara, Sumida, Tokyo, Japan
Arriving on the scene, Miyuki and Natsumi saw a couple of 2000 Bokuto Station Toyota Crown squad cars and Ken's Suzuki GSX-R750 as the officers engaged with the armed gunmen just on the streets on Ishiwara after civilians were being told to evacuate by officers that were guarding a safe corridor for them to go to.
"What are you girls doing here?" Minutes later, Tokuno had emerged out of his 2001 Honda Legend had parked near the Bokuto Station cruisers alongside Sugihara. "I heard that you two were not suppose to be here."
"We're police officers." insisted Miyuki. "Aren't we suppose to help each other in any way possible?" A second later, 9mm bullets whizzed overhead, forcing the four of them to duck down.
"Tokuno-san!" Tokuno turned around to see a couple of persons who have been allowed to enter past the police tape.
"Iida-san! Aizawa-san!" greeted Sugihara, who shouted due to the increasing intensity of the gunfire. "We were suppose to meet each other at the station..."
"We know." Kyoya Iida, Shinjuku Police detective replied. "We've been told that you were sent here."
"This may not be our jurisdiction," added Eriko Aizawa, Kyoya's detective partner. "But we'd like to help."
Dan's still covering Marty and Java back there while I'm here being a potential target for these gunmen. Hope I can get the trunk open. Now where'd the keys go?
Crouching near the rear of the Hummer H2, Mark fumbled on the right pocket of his pants in order to get the keys for the trunk from the H2 keychain. Grabbing it after making sure the key was on his pocket, given to him by Dan, Mark unlocked the trunk and opened a large duffel bag that had a Auto Ordnance Thompson M1 Full Automatic submachine gun with his Marom Dolphin IDF Recon Vest.
"What the heck's he doing?" Ken wondered, reloading his SIG P230 JP pistol. "He's in danger."
"He's wearing his combat gear." Sugihara commented while seeing the SHADOW agent don his vest and load his M1 submachine gun.
"I'm ready to move in." Kyoya took out his Glock 17 from his shoulder holster. Eriko drew out her newly acquired Sig Sauer P229 pistol from her shoulder holster, replacing her Smith and Wesson M36 revolver.
"Sugihara." Tokuno instructed his partner. "Move in with the others as soon as there's an opening for us. Got it? I'll go and call the station about the damn reinforcements."
"Got it, Tokuno-san." Sugihara drew out his Heckler and Koch P2000 pistol, held it in a Weaver stance.
"Dan! Get near the H2 now!" yelled Mark, who began to fire his M1 at the gunmen while Dan escorted Java and Marty to safety, firing his P14-45 pistol at the gunmen to cover them.
"You alright?" Mark asked, who still fired his weapon.
"Yeah." Dan ruffled through the opened duffel bag, about to grab his stuff when 3 2000 Honda Step Wagons appeared in the area.
"What the?" Mark said, wondering who were the occupants of the Step Wagons.
"Step Wagons." murmured Ken, firing his SIG P230 JP at one of the gunmen armed with an IMI Mini-Uzi. Two shots on the chest made the man crumple on the ground. "Just like the time when Bokuto Station was under attack..."
"Ora! What do you think you two are doing?" Turning to the side, Ken saw that Miyuki had a Sun Project M40 sniper rifle with her, arguing with one of the uniformed officers from Bokuto Station's Patrol division.
"I'm doing what I can at least do." argued Miyuki, chambering a fake 7.62 NATO round into the spring rifle's chamber.
"Demo, Miyuki." insisted the officer. "Those guys have real bullets. Yours are just paint. How can you do anything to give the situation an advantage?"
"Watch me." Peering through the rifle's Unertl 10x telescope, she fired a single BB bullet that splattered on the windshield of one of the Step Wagons before rechambering another one and firing the rifle, hitting another Step Wagon with the paintball BB. The shots eventually forced all three to step. The occupants of the Step Wagons, wearing the same windbreaker as their comrades wore a while ago, emerged out and fired their Colt M4A1 carbines at the police before trying to focus their aim on Mark.
"Damn!" Dan mumbled, wearing his Blackhawk Omega Tactical Cross Draw Vest with his Auto Ordnance Thompson M1928 Full Automatic submachine gun. Already loaded with a 100-round drum magazine and holding the weapon via fore and pistol grips, the Malaysian SHADOW agent was ready. "We're pinned down! The others back on the street are trying to support us." He crouched next to the rear of the H2, while bullets continued to score dents onto the vehicle. The shots did not break the window or made further damage the H2 since it had bulletproof properties. "We need a plan..."
Mark, who was behind him, patted him on the shoulder. "I'll head to the other side and provide covering fire."
Dan nodded.
"Cover me." whispered Mark. Minutes later, he dashed to the other side of the street while the combination of gunfire coming from Dan while the Bokuto and Shinjuku officers were able to score some casualties against the gunmen. However, a patrol officer had been shot in the right shoulder and was evacuated safely. Sugihara was nearly shot when a 5.56 NATO bullet whizzed near his right cheek when he peeked from the cover of the Bokuto Police Toyota Crown engine block to get a good shot.
Now at the other side of the street taking cover with a parked 2000 Toyota Corolla as protection, Mark gave the Flank Attack and the Use Grenade hand signals after he had pointed to himself for him to do the latter.
Got that one. Dan gave the thumbs up to acknowledge his hand signals.
Watching the scene of the gunbattle was a man, who had dressed up like the gunmen engaging the SHADOW agents and the local police. Only exception is that he was prone on the roof of one of the buildings nearby. Observing the battle with binoculars, the man reported in to his superiors via cellphone.
"Mr. Wesker. The ploy has worked. Thanks to our MPD contact, we're able to slow them down a bit."
"Good work. The attack on the convoy's already underway. Just try to hold out for as long as you can."
"Understood, sir."
After shutting off his cellphone, the man was then attacked by a metallic-like yo-yo on the back of his head so hard that he fainted into unconsciousness.
Minutes after Dan fired his M1928 submachine gun at the Step Wagons, Mark hurled an M68 fragmentation grenade that went inside one of the vehicles, taking it out of commission and several of its occupants inside with 2 gunmen wounded by the shrapnel.
"Get inside!" yelled one of the gunmen armed with a M4A1 assault rifle. Miyuki aimed her Sun Project M40 at the left eyehole of his balaclava and shot a BB paintball, temporarily blinding him.
"All right, Miyuki!" Natsumi cheered for her partner, who reloaded and fired another shot that blinded another gunman, forcing him to drop his HK MP5K submachine gun.
"Let's go!" Mark emerged out of cover after reloading his M1 submachine gun with Dan covering him. Moments later, Sugihara was the first officer to advance slowly while firing his sidearm. Kyoya and Eriko followed suit and fired their pistols while the patrol officers stayed back to offer rear support. Though the gunmen fought back valianty, it was due to the fire suppression coming from the two Center SHADOW agents that Sugihara and Kyoya were able to gun down a few of them with Eriko wounding one in the arm and waist.
"Come on! Move it!" The lead gunman hustled all survivors back to the two operational Step Wagons when he was gunned by a barrage of .45 ACP bullets coming from Dan's M1928, killing him. One of his comrades dismounted to get him inside and fired his IMI Mini-Uzi on his right hand while using his left hand to drag the corpse back to the Step Wagon. Mark saw him and fired a short burst from his M1, scoring some hits into his chest with one .45 ACP bullet penetrating his exposed neck.
"Forget them! They're dead!" yelled someone from inside the first Step Wagon, closing its sliding door and quickly departing while Sugihara and Kyoya kept firing at the fleeing vehicles from a distance. Approaching the corpses, Mark and Dan fired a single short burst from their weapons to ensure that the gunmen were dead before searching the third Step Wagon that was destroyed by Mark's tossed M68 grenade.
"That was a wrap, Mark. You seem to had more kills than me."
"Nah, I think you're improving in that department, Dan."
Leaning on their Center Hummer H2, the two SHADOW agents relaxed a bit while Java was with MOM speaking with Marty over taking over the investigation of the case from WOOHP. Nearby, Tokuno and Sugihara were with Ryosuke and Shunsuke in checking the dead bodies and the wrecked Step Wagon van.
"Mark-kun!" Miyuki called out for Mark, waving a bit beside Natsumi.
"It's Mark-kun now?" Dan raised an eyebrow.
"Shaddap." Mark said, walking towards Miyuki. "You better get MOM and see what happened between her and Marty." With Dan nodding, Mark approached the female officer.
"I'm glad you're alright." Miyuki smiled and placed her gloved left hand on Mark's left shoulder. "A while ago, why..."
"I shot those gunmen?" Mark asked. "It's a doctrine we SHADOW agents have been trained for. I think we got that tactic from the SAS."
"I see. I was just asking."
"Ah..." Mark nodded. "It's a good thing you and Natsumi are okay. But why did you..."
"It's part of the job." Miyuki grinned. "After all, I just couldn't stay back and do nothing." Eyeing Ken on the corner of his eye, Mark swore that the White Hawk stared at Miyuki, especially with the way she was talking to him.
"Mark!" Dan and MOM came along with Java in tow.
"Guys." Mark acknowledged.
"I've spoken to Jerry of WOOHP." began MOM. "He agrees to hand over the rest of the case that they've been doing to us, on the condition that Marty would liase with us."
"Sounds good."
"Wait." MOM listened to her headset. "There's some news that I've picked up..."
"This is bad!" Tokuno came running to the assembled group with Shunsuke and Ryonosuke. Sugihara was left behind to check on the wrecked Step Wagon. "We've got a new problem..."
"What is it?" Dan asked. The veteran detective faced the Center SHADOW agents and told them his answer.
"Tadashi Emoto had escaped from police custody."

PS - Hey Martin Seamus McFly, hope Marty's apperance was okay with you. Least I can do is use him here for now.
