Itimna Uwak was in a bad mood, that damn woman just ruined his talk with Kovuya. All he wanted was to scare him and then have a nice chat with him. He wasn't going to murder him or take the paper yet! Shaking his head he might as well prepare to take the papers tomorrow.
Kovuya rushed to the office to report his work. Hanzou had followed Kovuya everywhere and returns back to Tomoe once in a while to report about Kovuya's recent activities.
Tomoe walked swiftly to the Doctor's lounge, pushing the door open the eleven doctors sitting together turned their heads. "Ah, Tomoe! You came just in time! We were just talking about Kovuya" Derek smiled. "Speaking of that I have something to say about him too" she said gravely. Everyone's smile vanished. Tomoe sighed and answered "I think Kovuya is being targeted by someone…"
Kovuya typed quickly onto his computer, his fingers flying all over on the keyboard. Alyssa sat in his room, reading about Forensics. The only sound in the room was the constant typing of the keyboard and pages flipping. Finally, the typing stopped and there was a shuffle of papers. Alyssa looked up and asked "Are you going now?" Kovuya looked up and said "Yes,indeed. I have informed the director and she has granted me a half day today" "Aw! But I don't want to leave your room" she pouted. He gave a light laugh and said "I apologies for giving you such inconvenience but I really have to go" Alyssa stared at him before shrugging. She turned around,went to his shelf and picked up a number of books before turning back to him and asked "Can I bring these then?" Giving her a gentle smile he said"Of course you can" Alyssa giggled before leaving his room. Kovuya prepared to leave the room.
"There he goes" Tomoe whispered. They were on his back again, they wouldn't want to but the Government was hiding something in the documents. The fact that Kovuya was targeted means that one of their doctors/friend is in danger.
He crossed quickly, moving his legs as fast as possible through the corridor of glass wall and wallpaper-covered. Tomoe took the lead and had the rest following behind her. "Stop!" she hissed,raising her right hand. "Whats wrong?" Gabe asked. "Reflection…" she murmered. As Kovuya made his way down the corridor,he kept looking at the glass wall. He knew he was being followed but he couldn't see anyone in the reflection that shows the area he crossed. Seems like they were better than he thought. He stopped moving and watched the reflection in hopes that he could see some movement. No one. Sighing he turned and was about to continue walking before bumping into someone.
Kovuya looked up and froze, the same grin was in front of him again. Itimna. He squeaked as Itimna grabbed his collar and dragged him. "That's the guy" Tomoe hissed as she pointed at Itimna. Quickly they followed. Kovuya squirmed under Itimna's vice like grasp. Last thing he wanted was to see Itimna in the hospital. "Look,I know where to go!" he gasped. Itimna snickered and let go of him. "Okay now hand it over" Kovuya sighed and handed it over while saying "Their activites are faster than what I can pay off" Itimna's eyes dulled as he responded, "We will do what we can"."Alright,then I guess I have to tell my director that I cancelled my plans" Kovuya said as he turned around. Itinma hand shot out and grabbed his hair, causeing Kovuya to yell. "Hey!" Itimna just snorted "You're gonna cancel? Not when im here." He let go of Kovuya's hair and said "Feed me, im hungry" "Typical of you…"
The other doctors watched through the whole conversations. "It seems like they know each other very well"Naomi said. "Sounds like our doctor has a debt to pay off,along with that guy too" Gabe snorted. Maira looked at Tomoe and asked "Should we still follow them?" Shaking her head,Tomoe said "We can't,not with this size." Tyler suggested, "How about we pretend to hang out at the café they were going?"
Kovuya watched as Itimna wolfed down a number of buns "How long have you not eated?" "Quite a number of days" Itimna managed without any crumbs flying out. Kovuya sighed and continued drinking his latte. Itimna looked at Kovuya and asked "Black coffee?" "No, latte…" Itimna snatched his cup and gulped it down. "You should drink water… not coffee" Itimna just responded with a cough and beating his chest. Taking the empty cup from Itimna, Kovuya set it down onto the table.
"How many days do we have left?" Kovuya asked wearily, Itimna replied with a sigh "There is no more days… They lied, its today" Kovuya sighed and covered his face with his hands. " What are we to do?" kovuya muttered repeatedly. Itimna bent forward and placed his right hand on Kovuya's head " it'll be alright, I will buy more time" Jerking his head kovuya squeaked"We cannot buy any more! You next operation is due next week!" Itimna groan and lean back on the couch " Look,stop whining about that! Anyway,I can cut off half of it with the money I have but…" He scratched his head "you're gonna have to share your room" Kovuya rolled his eye and said "I guess half is good enough,I have room" Itimna laughed and said "Fair enough" Kovuya scowled and pointed a finger at him "Operation!" "Whoa! Okay!" Itimna raised his hand ,his palm facing to Kovuya in a protective manner.
"Hey Kovuya!" Once again, both men turned their heads. Maria was waving at them excitedly before rushing to Kovuya's side. "Didn't think you would come here!" Kovuya smiled nervously " Well, I come here often" "Well then, c'mon!" She dragged Kovuya out of his chair. Suddenly a hand shot out and grabbed Maira's wrist. "Do you mind?" Itimna growled. Maira snorted "No I don't mind".Grinding his teeth he stood up. He was a head taller than her and snapped "Look! We have not seen each other for years so it would be nice if you do not spoil our reniuon" That ticked Maira off."Why you little!" She raised her fist but Kovuya grabbed it, turning around Maria was about to yell but Kovuya had fear in his eyes as he restricted Maira's movement. Lowering her hand she stared at Kovuya, "what are you…" Kovuya looked at Itimna "sit down". Itimna sighed and sat back down on the couch.
Quickly,Maira yanked Kovuya to the group of doctors at the other corner of the café. Maira pushed Kovuya on a seat "Okay,talk! You're hiding something" He winced as the words hit him. "I'm in debt and my friend is sick that's all" Angie sighed and said "Why didn't you tell us? Are we unreliable?" Kovuya jerked his head up shocked "No! its not that you guys are unreliable. Its just that, I don't want to get anyone else involved."Well, he is doing the right thing by not dragging us but…" Tyler muttered. "So he is doing you a favour" The voice rasped behind Kovuya. "Hey! Leave us alone!" Maria screeched. Itimna just growled "Look! Doctors don't poke into people's private life!" grabbing kovuya out of his seat he said "Either way, stop messing with the wrong people!" maria took a step forward before Naomi held her shoulder and said "Let them go…"
"You didn't have to go that far!" Kovuya coughed. " I think I really had to, we can't have them telling the government about this organization without getting us into the conflict too." Itimna grumbled.
Markus looked at everyone"So, we let them go but that good does that do?" Naomi answered" it seems like Kovuya is not targeted, at the moment." "Argh! I feel like strangling that creep! He is such a jerk!" Maria growled, while clenching her fist. Tomoe cut in "Well, we know that he has half of his 'payment' left to go…"
While talking in the café,Elena heard something. Quickly she raised her left hand to signal the to be quiet and she said "Can you hear that?". There was a faint wailing of sirens. Maria eyes widened "We have to go back to Caduceus!"
Maira got the information first and she forward the messages to the other doctors. Within five minutes all the doctors were at the scene. There had been an accident at one of the medical universities, no one really knows what caused it. "No matter" Maria shouted "Lets get everyone out of the building!" Quickly the doctors moved into the building.
"Is everyone out?" Kovuya coughed as his mouth and nose was covered with a cloth. "Yea, lets go deeper in" Itimna responded. Deeper they went into the medical universities. "Its funny how your other friends are not here yet" Itimna hummed,Kovuya kept moving by his side "I think they are here but I don't know how deep are they in" "Whatever, we just need to make sure there is no one else in trouble…" "yea…"
The air became heavier as they moved deeper into the building, Maria took out a few cloth and handed it to the other doctors. Before they could do anything a net flew above them and they were trapped. "What the hell! Dammit!"Maria screamed. The net moved and the doctors were dragged along with it. They heard voices
"Who are they?"
"Doctors from Caduceus it seems"
"Why the hell did you catch them?You should have left them alone!"
"Can't sir. Memory Key and White Dove is here."
"Tch… No wonder… Wait, we never summoned them! Quickly! Find them! They must not know of this!"
"Hey… what's this?" Itimna bent down to pick up a metal capsule ripped from inside out by some unknown force.,his eyes widened "Kovuya…. This is from the underworld organization!" "what?!" Kovuya took the capsule and examined it; there was no mistaking it. There were iron fillings inside the capsule and the inside was painted yellow, usually a sign to other global underworld organization that the USA underworld organization had attacked it.
"We have to move quickly" Itimna hissed with alarm. They ran down the infrastructure not affected by the explosion. Soon they went down the stairs to the basement. To their horror they saw blood, nothing was spared in the basement "This must be where the explosion occurred.." Itimna said quietly. "one of the explosion, if not the area we walked through would be obliterated." Kovuya whispered, walking around the room cautiously they realize it was a research center. Looking around, Kovuya remembered everything, every single bloodspot, every single stone, the whole scenery neatly placed in his mind he felt nauseous. His legs gave way and he was saved by Itimna who swiftly caught him. "Are you alright?" "I-im fine" Kovuya noticed something, its was small but was worth it. Itimna set him on the floor carefully. Kovuya leaned forward and reached for it. A capsule. Itimna just stared at the capsule as Kovuya examined it.
It was still intact. "The material of that capsule seems different" Itimna murmered. "The fact that it can survive the explosion… it must be a very strong metal like Tungsten or Titanium." Kovuya replied ,shaking his head he said "Anyway, we have to get out" Itimna nodded his head and helped him up and out of the basement, he took the capsule from Kovuya and placed it in his pocket.
Once they were out of the basement, Kovuya pushed Itimna slightly and said "I can walk on my own now". Itimna didn't listen as he stared at the oncoming group, Kovuya too looked at that direction. Its was the underground organization.
All completely covered in black,their faces hidden by their helmets,they were the A-Force. A few of them ran past them and into the basement,one of them raised a rifle at them and shouted "halt!" Both Kovuya and Itimna looked at each other. A man walked out of the group of black, his back clothing had a streak of red, the commander. He crossed his arms and said "This is our work,do not interfere" Both of the men nodded. "Oh and speaking of which, we've got company…" The A-Force parted and the doctors trapped in the net were shown. Kovuya gasped, so they were here after all. Itimna growled "bastard"
The men who went down into the basement returned back and said "We found only one capsule sir, the other 3 are missing" The commander stomped his foot "Blast it! No matter,drop the bomb and lets go!" "Yes, sir!"
Before anyone could say anything,one of the A-Force member dropped five bomb capsule and they started ticking. "Shit!" Itimna shouted, both Kovuya and Itimna rushed to the doctors trapped under the net. Itimna handed Kovuya the dagger from his thigh. "Whoa dude… You must be really paranoid to carry that thing around with you the whole day" Gabe pointed out. Itimna just snickered, turning around he grabbed one of the bomb capsule. He let it fall off his hand and lifting his left leg, he aimed a blow at it. There was a dull noise of metal hitting onto the canvas shoe as the capsule went flying to the other side,over the fallen rubble into another area. He whistled as it flew "Well looks like I got some football skills" Kovuya rolled his eyes as he cut the ropes. Itimna continued to kick all the capsules and Kovuya did the cutting. Finally the net broke and the doctors quickly got out,tripping over each others foot in the process.
"Alright we had better run out now" Itimna sighed.
Cybil Myers stood outside the building "Where are they" she sighed. Finally she saw the doctors running out, she took a few steps forward before being blown back by an explosion. Gasping,Cybil picked herself off the ground and quickly she rushed to the doctors who were unconscious. She then saw a man with black hair groaning and pushing himself off someone. He was the only one conscious? Cybil was surprised. Itimna pushed himself off Kovuya, unfortunately he was still unconscious when he was trying to avoid that from happening. He tried straightening his back but a sharp pain shot through his stomach. Doubling over he held his stomach with his left hand and had his right hand covering his mouth. He took a few steps away from Kovuya and spat out blood. Looking down, his stomach had a cut, but no debris or anything.
Cybil ran up towards him with a roll of bandage,before she could do anything he raised his right hand with blood up. She stopped and looked at him. "Just hand me the bandage and help the doctors" she couldn't respond in time as he took the roll from her. He wrapped it around himself a number of times before cutting it off and tying a knot. He started limping away."hey wait! You just can't leave like that! You are not properly treated" she quickly chased after him.
Tuning his head around he glared at her. Cybil immediately stopped in her tracks,he coughed "just… just save them will you?" He then continued his way "At least leaving a name would be nice" She huffed,as much as she wanted to chase after him something told her it was a bad move if she did. "Just know me as a passerby who so happens to help… somehow"
He then went on.
