Chapter 3- Band in the investigation

(Booth)

I stepped into the small enclosed room and waited for whatever type of person was going to be brought in through the door. It was decided that we would bring in some of the man's loved ones for questioning first. Taki Aizawa had no family and other then a few close friend and his band mates he was relatively alone. Only two were coming today. Whether he stayed so excusive by choice or not wasn't clear at the moment.

A man with dark brown hair was led into the room and was seated soon after. His eyes were successfully hidden behind dark sunglasses but even I could see the pain that shown through. If this man had killed Taki Aizawa he sure felt the quilt pretty bad. Bones walked in and took the seat next to me without so much as introduction to the boy before us.

"Do you know why you've been ask to come here Kenneth….." I was interrupted only seconds later.

"Call me Ken-chan…..and yes, I know it has something to do with Taki disappearance a couple weeks back, but what is it! Did he get himself in so much trouble that even the American feds are after him?" His voice had a bit of a sneer to it but I could still hear the worry underlining the tone.

"I find it almost sad to inform you that this is not the case," Bones voice was calm, collected and perhaps a little soothing or rather it was trying to be. "The man Taki Aizawa is dead."

Ken paled until he was almost starch white and although his breathing did not become labored it did pick up. His eyes were starting to water. "Are you alright, Ken-chan?"

He flipped back his head and leaned away from us. A single tear trailed down his cheek and he stood up quickly almost loosing his footing, as he tried to rush for the door. "Shit…what am I gonna tell Ma-kun! Sorry I really have to leave…..God I have to go look for him! He'll be crushed but he has to know!"

"That quite alright….he's already here. We called him in and as we speak someone should be telling him what has happened. You won't have to tell him anything so just sit back down and…..answer a couple questions for me," I sighed guiding the young man back to his seat.

"Okay."

They were basic question that were being asked. When had been the last time you had seen the victim? Where? Was he with anyone? If so then who? Had he been caught between a rock and a hard place with some people? Ken didn't stopped before answering what so ever….until the last one.

"Did Taki have any enemies….someone who would want him dead?" I asked.

He was swift to clover it up but I still heard the momentary hesitation, "…No."

It's hard to believe how one death could affect a person so much. The one they called Ma-kun had fallen to his knees the moment the simple fact had met his ears. Tears streamed down his face like river's and they just wouldn't stop. Tear after tear, sob after sob. It was absolutely maddening. How could one death cause such a break down in the person? Well I suppose that was a stupid question to ask. People almost always reacted like this when they were told….or perhaps they only reacted like this when I told them. Hodgins always said I was to blunt when it came right down to it.

After about fifteen minutes the tears stopped and he sat back down on the chair that was behind him. His hand reached into his pocket and pulled out a cigarette. Slowly he brought it to his lips and lit it. The smoke wisped up into the air almost instantly and his dead eyes spoke volumes. What I saw now was much more disturbing then the crying. My mind wondered to a day back when I was in school. To a similar look on someone's face. A day later they were gone. Unexplainable fear struck through me and with out meaning to I found arms rapped around the man. He stiffened for a moment and then continued to cry but it wasn't as hard as it had been before.

Once it had stopped Ma-kun looked up at me and smiled sadly, "Thanks….I guess I needed that."

"It's no problem….I know what it's like to lose someone that you love," but I suppose it's different when they leave willingly….when they find someone else to love.

A long haired man walked in and sat down at the table. His eyes were cold and calculating but dead, like they weren't even registering the things around him. He slipped his hand into his breast pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. His hands trembled slightly but he still managed to light one of them.

"I'm sorry sir you can't do that in here!" Bone sighed as she took the cancer stick from between his lips and put it out.

For a moment he stared at her surprised like no one had ever done anything similar to that. But then he just took out another one and lit it. Bone stared at the man for a good few moments but stopped herself from doing anything further. She chose instead to lean back in her chair and ask the first question.

"Taki…what was he to you? I haven't been in Tokyo long but even I have heard some pretty exciting rumors?" Well she always had been a very blunt, strait to the point kind of women.

"And what were those rumors?" Ma-chan asked looking away from us into the two way mirror.

Bones eyes drooped and some form of deep emotion took over her features, "That you were quite fond of him. That you two were Lovers."

He turned back to face them, eyes watering as he answered, "Yeah…..we were."

I leaned forward in my chair expectantly and asked, "How were things going between you to….and the relationship I mean?"

"Things were going okay I guess….we had a few stupid fight mostly over the old band but we always made up! In fact they weren't even real serious fights, only a bit of bickering, We hadn't really gone at it for about a years," He muttered.

"Before the band broke up?" Bones asked looking him strait in the eyes.

He nodded and curiosity got the better of me, "What happened exactly?"

Ma-chan smiled sadly at me, "Taki did something pretty stupid…Got a couple people pissed off that he shouldn't have."

"Oh?"

He gave a small chuckle and continued to explain, "Yeah….He wasn't really in a good place at the time. His state of mind, I mean! He had just told his family about us and well…..they weren't so happy about it so they disowned him. Taki wasn't thinking straight and well this one guy came along and was everything Taki was and wanted to be. It made Taki so angry and he just snapped. H…he did some things that he shouldn't have. The kid he was so jealous of…..well I'm surprised he survived!"

"What did Taki do to him?" Bone asked.

Ma-chan looked at her and spoke in a cold, calm voice. "I will not speak ill of the dead nor will I speak about things that has nothing to do with me…..talk about it with the kid!"

"Well you haven't given us a name," she whispered half ready to attack….she had been a bit on edge sense she came to the city.

He gave us a weird look and snorted as he realized that Bones was right, "The kid's name is…..Shuichi Shindou."
