Acid Trip
"Guys," Chief Komui called out to all of the various scientists who were roaming about the Science Division, each intent on their job. "Make sure that you stay away from this vat."
"Right," a chorus of voices called out, no one really paying much attention to their leader. They had all been warned about a million times against going near the vat that contained Komui's latest experiment.
A type of super corrosive acid that they had been told would strip the flesh from their bones in a matter of seconds.
They all knew better than to go near it and were just hoping that Komui would remained focused solely on this experiment. Because they all shuddered to think of what would happen were Sir Komlin to become involved with a vat of acid stored in the middle of the Science Division.
It simply didn't bear thinking on.
For his part Komui had no intentions of involving Sir Komlin in this little experiment. He had much better plans for the acid that he had developed under the premise of furthering the goals of the Black Order.
The thing that had actually prompted this experiment was a letter that the Chief had received the day before. A letter that was now crumpled up in his pocket, to remind him of why he had to do this.
So, once the Chief of the Science Division was absolutely certain that the acid was perfect, he summoned Inspector Malcolm C. Leverrier to inspect this newest creation of the scientists. The acid that could be used to combat the Earl and his henchman.
Even though Komui knew that such a thing was impossible. Only the wielders of Innocence had any hope of defeating the Earl but he wasn't going to mention that right now.
Not until his plan came to fruition.
So Komui stood around and awaited the arrival of the Inspector whom he heartily disliked, a fake smile plastered across his face. He had to keep telling himself that this was the only way, in order to maintain his resolve.
A picture of the group of young Exorcists flashed into his mind and Komui clenched his hands into fists.
This was necessary and he would go through with it.
The door soon burst open and Leverrier strode into the Science Division, looking as self important as always. There was a scowl on his face and it was obvious that he was irritated over this summons to the domain of the scientists.
"This had best be important Komui," he snarled as he walked toward the spot where Komui was standing.
"I assure you that it is of the utmost importance," Komui assured the man, his gaze following Leverrier's approach. When the man reached a certain point Komui pulled on a hidden wire, the end of which he had clenched in his hand.
Failing to see the wire Leverrier tripped and… fell headfirst into the vat of acid.
The screams of the man as he fell caused all of the scientists to run toward the vat of acid but of course it was already much too late for any of them to be able to help him. Only bones remained, floating in the bubbling acid.
And soon those too would be gone.
"He tripped," Komui said, gazing at the bones with a sorrowful look in his eyes. "There was nothing I could do."
No one protested this claim and if anyone suspected that Leverrier's death was anything other than a tragic accident they didn't speak of it.
Returning to his office Komui pulled a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket, unfolding it and gazing at the words through cold eyes.
It is my decision that Exorcist Allen Walker poses a direct threat to the safety of the Black Order and will therefore be executed. Malcolm C. Leverrier
And that was the letter that had sealed the Inspector's fate as far as Komui was concerned. For it said nothing about the Vatican's decision about the young boy, only that Leverrier had decided that he had to go.
Which was something that the Chief absolutely refused to allow to happen. Hence his experiments with acid.
Which had turned out to be a complete success.
A/N - here's another chapter and Komui's the guilty party this time your Honor. But of course no one's going to say anything about it. Mwahaha!
