Akio's car pulled up to the alleyway where his men had Sayuki Katsutoshi cornered. He slid out, he knew not to negotiate with people like this, but an innocent person's life was at stake.

"Ah, Detective Minobe Akio, you're here." a voice called as soon as he stepped out of the car.

His men were spread out in a semi-circle around Katsutoshi, guns aimed. Katsutoshi was standing with his arm around the body of a teenager and the other with his gun under the teens chin. The teen was blubbering about how he didn't want to die and he had just been taking a shortcut home.

"Sayuki Katsutoshi, you don't need to do this." Akio walked past his men with his hands raised.

"Don't I? Either way, I'm dead. I go with you, I rot in prison. I resist, you shoot me. All I have to do is buy some time."

Akio noted the blood congealing on his leg and arm, it wouldn't be much longer until he passed out from blood loss, "That's fine, we'll wait until we come to an agreement."

"That's what you're trained to do, but there can be no agreement in this situation. No win-win, but at least there can be a lose-lose situation."

"As long as one of those kids are alive, you still lose and we win." It almost hurt him to say that, but he had to make Katsutoshi believe that he couldn't win no matter what.

He laughed loudly, "Is that what you think Detective Minobe? That if I manage to kill five kids, leaving only one alive, and I die, that it is a victory? Would you think that of your own two children?"

Akio froze on the inside, but he didn't let it show that Katsutoshi had hit a nerve, "We can wait until you make up your mind on what you want to do."

He watched as the detective turned his back on him and whispered something to one of his men and go back to his car. "You'll never find them without me." he called.

The detective turned around, a small smirk on his face, "We already did." a perfectly calculated lie to help the decision making process along.

Katsutoshi eyes darted from side to side, mind whirling, "So you have them back at the safe house?" he asked.

"Safe and sound."

"Well then, my job here is done." he pushed the teenager into men with guns trained on him, "It was nice meeting you detective." and he put the gun against his head and pulled the trigger.

'How long has it been?' Haruhi thought, 'Surely it's been long enough that we can call again. They would have found us by now.' Hunni was laying on the floor, staring at the ceiling; he hadn't said a word in hours. Haruhi opened her mouth to say something to him, but before she could say a word, Hunni jumped to his feet. She watched in shock as the small teenager suddenly attacked the door.

He was angry, more angry than he had ever been in his life. Kyouya was dead, something was wrong with Takashi, the killer had trapped them in here and was still out there. All this anger had been building inside of him for hours and now it was just coming out in violence against a door that would never be able to be opened by hitting it.

Takashi had always been around to protect him, even though he didn't need it, and now that Takashi might need his help he wasn't there, that's what made him angrier than anything else.

Haruhi laid a petite hand on his shoulder, "Hunni-senpai, calm down." she said quietly, "That's not helping anyone."

Hunni turned around and stared into her brown eyes, she was still calm even after everything that had happened to all of them. He didn't remember her ever losing her cool throughout this whole ordeal, "I hate this Haru-chan." his eyes filled with tears.

"I know Hunni-senpai, but hitting the door isn't going to help, all you did was make your hands bleed." She pulled out a hankerchief that she had taken to carrying around and wrapped it around his split knuckles. "I don't know what to do about your other hand." she admitted. Hunni sat down and torn the bottom of one of his pant legs off. Haruhi had no doubt that those were expensive pants, but Hunni probably had several more pairs at home anyway. Haruhi tied the strip around his other hand, "Are you going to be okay now Hunni-senpai?" she asked.

He looked at her with an indescribable look on his face, "I don't know if any of us are going to be okay after this."

Mori lay in the hospital bed, he had just gotten off the phone with his parents. They were coming down to see him as soon as they could. He hated that he worried his parents like that, but there was nothing he could do about that. He was far more worried about Mitsukuni and Haruhi. The doctor had told him that if his shoulder didn't heal right, his arm wouldn't work right for the rest of his life, but he would gladly give up use of his arm for them to be safe. Someone knocked on his door quietly before entering, it was after visiting hours so he thought it would be the doctor again. It was Tamaki, he looked as if he hadn't slept in a long time. Had he looked like that yesterday? Tamaki hadn't been to see him yet and Takashi had been so preoccupied with Mitsukuni and Haruhi he hadn't noticed how bad a shape Tamaki was in. There were dark circles under his violet eyes and he was dressed as if he no longer cared how he looked with his shirt wrinkled and collar messed up. "How are you feeling Mori-senpai?" he asked, sitting down next to him.

"Bad." he admitted. When the painkillers wore off, his shoulder was in a considerable amount of pain.

"We are all." They sat in silence for awhile, Mori had the feeling that there was something that Tamaki wanted to say to him. "He's dead." Tamaki finally said.

"Hm?"

"Sayuki Katsutoshi, the man who's been attacking us, he killed himself rather than be taken to jail."

A weight lifted off his chest, the danger was gone, dead by his own hand. All the pain they had gone through seemed to leave him, but as he looked at Tamaki it came back. Tamaki hadn't forgotten even for a second that Mitsukuni and Haruhi were still missing. "Mitsukuni, Haruhi?"

Tamaki shook his head, "They haven't called back. We have about a day to find them before they die of thirst, if they don't have any water that is. We're still waiting for them to call again, we don't know why they haven't."

Akio sat at his desk with his head in his hands. It had been hours since he had watched Sayuki Katsutoshi kill himself. They were still looking for Haninozuka-san and Fujioka-san, but their search was fruitless so far. He glanced at his phone, he had left a message with his wife asking them to stay at a hotel for the night, just for safety. The fact that Katsutoshi had brought his family into their conversation had bothered him. Itami was slumped in a chair, asleep. It was late at night and he knew he should be getting some sleep as well, but something was still nagging at the back of his mind. Why had Katsutoshi asked if Haninozuka-san and Fujioka-san were back at the safe house? It was almost like he was checking to make sure. He stood up and went to check on the Hitachiin twins. The guards were no longer posted at the door as there was no need for them. He peeked in the door and saw Kaoru sleeping on the bed and Hikaru curled on a chair.

Something was defiantly wrong. There was a quick, quiet beeping noise, but not just one, but several from different directions. He ran in and shook Hikaru awake, "Help me get your brother out of here now!"

Itami was woken up by a low buzzing noise, Akio's phone was vibrating on the table. A little dazed, she looked at it, it was his wife. Why would she be calling this late at night? Itami looked around for Akio, but he wasn't anywhere around. Someone shouting from deep inside the house cause the rest of the sleeping team to be awakened. "What's going on?" someone asked sleepily.

Suddenly, a blast shook the house, knocking the team off their feet and fire blazed through the house.

I do enjoy my cliffhangers ;) Well, sorry this took so long, but I've been in Florida on vacation with no internet access at all, so it was kinda like slow torture. I owe a thank you to you reviewers who correct my spelling, I fail epically at researching and reading for some reason so thanks for catching my mistakes. Also a big thanks toooooooo
