Allen and Kanda were back at the apartment. Each sitting in their respective beds in a dead silence; even Timcanpy was remaining quiet. Allen then took in a deep breath, it was now or never. He brought a hand up to his wig and slowly removed it. And with a small shake of his head he spoke.
"So I'm the Crowned Clown."
"I figured that out." Kanda stated as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"When?" Allen questioned, "The way you framed that whole 'I'd kill them myself' bit didn't really come out as 'I know you're secret'."
"I was trying to say 'I understand'. Plus the added tease to see your confused face." Kanda snorted lightly.
"Baka!" Allen growled.
"So then, what's the whole story? A scar from a knife and the death of important family members, what else?" Kanda moved on to the bigger topic. Allen released a sigh before going on about Mana and how Uncle Neah planned to have Allen take revenge on behalf of them both.
"…" Kanda was quiet when Allen finished his backstory. At least until a small sigh escaped him.
"You shouldn't have gone through that. You deserved to get a happy life! And the one chance you're given is taken away! Those damn Noah bastards!" He hisses and slams a fist against the bed. Allen let's out a small gasp at Kanda's reaction and looks to his feet.
"So you're not going to arrest me?" Allen couldn't help but ask. Upon looking back up Allen is met with Kanda's angry glare.
"No." The other stated with a grunt. Allen blinked; Kanda would break the rules of law enforcement for him? "But you've still killed people. I can't look past that." Kanda continues.
"What are you going to do?" Allen gulped.
"The Crowned Clown has to die." Kanda deadpanned. Allen's eyes widened and he scooted farther back on the bed. Kanda noticed the reaction and added in, "I meant to fake it Moyashi."
"Fake it?" Allen echoed.
"Once the Noah business is handled we can fake the Crowned Clown's death. That way everything is ended. And you can live a more normal life." Kanda explained.
"Really?" Allen murmured.
"Yes. So then, what information have you gained on the Noah?" Kanda moves the subject along.
"A lot!" Allen chirps and goes to Tim's cage, where underneath in a hidden compartment Allen has stored certain pieces of his Noah intel, "In fact, my employer Adam is a part of the Noah."
"Your Uncle certainly was smart in writing out all this information, there's enough here for the police department to have a field day. As for your employer, how do you know?" Kanda questioned as he got up to stand beside Allen.
"His granddaughter was at the theater last night with Noah henchmen. I watched her kill one, and when I confronted her she flat out told me. Even mentioned how this 'Earl' is waiting for the right moment to kill me." Allen explained, "And I don't think they know that I'm the Crowned Clown, because Road attempted to kill me."
"So this means I can get revenge against that brat?" Kanda gave a small smirk and snuck a hand around Allen to hold the other by the waist. Allen blushed and gave Kanda a fake pout.
"Seriously?" He muttered.
"Of course, that first kiss should have been mine." Kanda growled. Allen's blush grew to a darker shade of red.
"You mean that kiss back at your place wasn't just a ploy to remove my makeup?"
"I've liked you since we were kids baka Moyashi." Kanda let out a small chuckle and shook his head. Allen remained stunned by Kanda as said police investigator took the papers from his hand and walked back to his bed. "If we try we might be able to take out Adam tonight. I overheard the man talk about checking the theater tonight to make sure things were set up perfectly for tomorrow. I'm sure now that it's something to harm you in some way."
"I'm willing, the sooner we take out the Noah, the better. Why don't you come up with a plan while I go get dressed up?" Allen replied as he walked towards the bathroom.
"You realize this means Lavi has to be in on this?" Kanda suddenly revealed. Allen paused to think.
"Go ahead. He's pretty close to figuring it all out anyway. He's smart and could certainly help if it comes down to the media getting involved." Allen gave a nod before going into the bathroom. So while Allen got into gear Kanda went next door and got the redheaded rabbit. He was quickly filled in and by the time he and Kanda returned to see Allen, said white-haired male was fully equipped in his Crowned Clown attire.
"Holy shit dude! I would never have pegged you as a lethal killing machine!" Lavi chuckled as he walked in.
"Good." Allen huffed, "So, got anything for me Kanda?"
"You need to get into the theater and deal with any henchmen. I'll stay hidden somewhere and help you corner Adam when the situation calls for it. And it's most likely that Road will be there as well. If she is you need to find a way to immobilize her. There's no way we can get away much with her, she's young and crazy." Kanda shook his head, "As for the usagi, he'll be recording everything. And that recording will be sent to police stations and the media. That way we can fake your death and Adam will go to jail, one way or another."
"Let's do this. I'll come in through the skylight, if it's open. If not, Kanda can I trust you to get it open?" Allen adds in.
"Skylight?" Kanda raises a brow.
"There's a covering for it. If open, I can jump in. If not, i still need to jump in, but we can use the opening of it to draw in all the Noah in the building." Allen explains.
"Sounds good." Kanda nods and looks over to Lavi.
"I got the camera. You two be careful." Lavi leaves so that he can go find a decent early position.
"This is it Kanda." Allen sighs and runs a hand through his hair.
"Let's go bring this story to an end. And Moyashi," Kanda starts to leave but turns back.
"It's Allen!" Said white-haired male couldn't help but shout back, "And what?"
"You can call me Yu, and I'll be right there if you need me." Kanda gives a minuscule smile before disappearing.
"B-Baka." Allen mutters to himself as a blush dances across his cheeks. He shakes it off and makes sure the room is secure before leaving out the bathroom window like he had the night before...
