Just like Allen had thought, the skylight was shut this night.
"Yu better hurry." Allen hummed under his breath as he crouched low by the skylight window. Meanwhile, Kanda got easy access through the back door after a Noah henchman neglected to check if the door was locked behind him. As for Lavi, he gave Kanda a camera to set up in the theater while he watched the tape from the building over and had a radio at the ready to inform Allen and Kanda of anything.
"Usagi can you see a way to open the skylight?" Kanda muttered into his radio as he put it into position. So far what few henchman Kanda has located we too busy talking amongst themselves to pay attention to their surroundings and Adam has yet to be seen. Lavi took his time to swivel the remote camera in its perch to survey the surrounding area. The redhead easily spotted the control center for the skylight. Lavi informed Kanda and the policeman made it over to the panel.
"Keep an eye out usagi." Kanda informed as he fiddled with the panel, hoping whatever he was doing would open the stupid metal barrier over the skylight window. And as expected, as soon as the metal began to move it made a very loud noise, alerting everyone within in the building that it was moving.
"Who's opening the skylight?" A voice, which Kanda recognized as Adam's, echoed through the theater. A bunch of voices of clueless henchmen reply and Kanda can't help but roll his eyes. As he gets into a more decent hiding place Kanda looks below to the stage. There he sees six people. Five of which look like henchmen while the sixth is all dressed up with an umbrella in hand.
"Earl sir, could it be the Crowned Clown? Mistress Road ran into him last night." One of the henchmen pointed out.
"That was the reason why the skylight was shut! Someone on the inside must have opened it." The one called "Earl" hissed back at the man.
"Time to drop Moyashi." Kanda whispered into his radio, and in the next minute he admired the sight of white dropping down. Upon landing Allen's cape elegantly spread against the floorboards.
"So you're the Earl." Allen stood and gave a small smile to his enemy.
"Ah Crowned Clown we finally meet." The Earl, or as Kanda and Allen knew him, Adam, turned and leaned on his umbrella as he stared at Allen.
"Your tyranny is over. This ends tonight." Allen states and pulls out his left hand, wiggling each of his clawed fingers.
"Oh really?" The Earl gave a chuckle and raised his umbrella so that the end pointed at Allen. To the henchmen it was a sign to attack. Each charged, and each one was skillfully evaded and sliced in a deadly location by the Crowned Clown's claws.
"Nice try Earl." Allen huffed as he shook his left hand to rid of the blood. "Now then, I've heard of your nasty plot to kill this 'Allen Walker'. That's not going to happen."
"You think you can stop me? There's no way you can kill me, and the boy's as good as dead, just like his stupid uncle." The Earl shook his head and put his umbrella over his shoulder. "In fact, he'll be killed right here on this stage! All he needs to do is sit at the piano and he'll see to his end!" Allen couldn't help but smile at the silly villain cliché of revealing plans to their enemies.
"Now would you tell me that?" Crowned Clown couldn't help but ask.
"Because who would believe you, a murder? And one foot in this theater in the daylight equals a run in with Mr. Walker's little police bodyguard. You wouldn't be able to save the boy with that as an obstacle." Adam explained, all to happy and confident. Allen took this time to laugh.
"Did you hear that sir?" Allen called up to Kanda. With that said Kanda came out from his hiding place, and he couldn't help but scowl at all the dead bodies.
"I did." Kanda finally replied.
"Really now officer?" Adam gasped at the policeman.
"What can I say? 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend', for now anyways." Kanda huffed and crossed his arms over his chest. "You're under arrest Adam Campbell."
"How did you?" The Earl hissed.
"Not to many little girls are named 'Road'. Besides, you don't have the best of disguise." Kanda replied and started to step towards Adam. Allen decided to use this chance to raise his claws so that it'd look like he was ready to take a swipe at Kanda. Adam saw this opportunity to release a gas from his umbrella and made a run for it. Meanwhile, Kanda 'noticed' the Crowned Clown's actions and turned with his weapon drawn. Even though the pair was covered in smoke, you could hear the clang of metal echo in the theater. And when the smoke cleared, Kanda was standing tall, weapon being sheathed, with the Crowned Clown laying face first on the ground in a pile of blood.
"You asked for this…" Kanda made note before leaving, making sure to take the camera with him. Once back at the hotel, Kanda was met with a smiling Allen.
"We did it! Now we should clean this up." The pianist gave a laugh as he looked down at his blood-soaked outfit. Kanda just shook his head.
"Baka." Just as he spoke, Lavi makes his way into the room.
"You got the tape Kanda?" Lavi asked and leaned against the doorway.
"I do. Here take it and go." Kanda handed over the camera to the redhead.
"I just can't believe we did it." Lavi grinned as he stared at the camera in his hands.
"Well you go make sure the tape is all good and leave us in peace." Allen waved a hand to Lavi.
"Sure, now you two better not be up to anything." Lavi snickered before finally leaving.
"Jeez." Allen shook his head and headed to the bathroom. Kanda went and sat on his bed as he waited for Allen to finish cleaning up and changing out his Crowned Clown outfit for the last time. When Allen walked out he was dressed in his pajamas and had a suitcase in hand.
"This is my case of my Crowned Clown things, here." Allen set the case by Kanda's feet and then went of to Timcanpy's cage.
"I'll take these to headquarters tomorrow. We have to see how the other police and the media deal with Adam's case. "Thank you Allen."
"What was that?" Allen suddenly turned to face Kanda, his face burning red.
"All I said was thanks, you silly Moyashi." Kanda huffed.
"Darn it Yu!" Allen huffed back and gave a sigh.
"Why don't you head to bed? We've had a long night and we have a big day tomorrow." Kanda offered as he got up for the bathroom.
"Goodnight!" Allen called after the other and went to his bed. It ended up being a nice night for them, despite them being nervous about what events were awaiting them in the morning.
"Time to get up Moyashi." Allen was shaken awake.
"Hmm?" Allen rose and gave a loud yawn.
"The usagi's already sent in the footage to my headquarters. They've already went to the theater and found the mess. And a media station is ready to milk the story. Some reports want to talk to you and what not. So get ready to go." Kanda explained and handed Allen a change of clothes.
"Well that didn't take too long." Allen muttered as he took the clothes and got out of bed. Once Allen was ready to go, which included putting on his wig and makeup, Kanda decided to walk Allen to the theater. They were hand-in-hand and had not a single care in the world. At the theater there were news vans and police cars with people everywhere. Allen's hand gripped Kanda's harder from nerves.
"Calm down Moyashi." Kanda sighed as the two got closer to the scene. As soon as they stepped foot onto the scene, reporter bombarded Allen with questions, and it didn't help that they were all speaking Japanese. So of course Kanda began to shout at the reporters to back off. When the reporters pulled back, Kanda and Allen could see some policemen with people in handcuffs. Kanda asked his fellow officers some questions and to Allen it looked like they replied with good news.
"They found some of Adam's men attempting to clean up the mess. And Adam himself was here, they believe he was going to give his plan a try. Little did he know we had him on tape." Kanda explained to Allen.
"Adam came back? What are the odds?" Allen commented.
"Criminals always return to the scene of the crime." Kanda gave a small chuckle. Allen just softly punched him in the arm. Just then a fellow officer came out the theater with Adam handcuffed in front of him.
"There he is." Allen muttered.
"Don't worry, he won't hurt you." Kanda reassured, "And just so you know, my colleges believe he got rid of the Crowned Clown's body, so they aren't suspicious of his 'sudden' disappearance." After stating that Allen smiled softly and looked over to Adam. He finally got rid of the Noah. He hoped Mana and Neah were proud of him. Just as Allen trailed off in thought Adam looked up from the ground and spotted the pianist.
"You!" He growled, "I may be going to jail but I'll still get you brat!" Adam was then pushed from behind by the policeman that was escorting him to the vehicle.
"It's just a hollow threat." Kanda gave Allen a pat on the shoulder.
"Yeah…" Allen let out a sigh. Kanda gave Allen a curious look. "This means I have to go back home."
"Right…You'll be going back to Britain." Kanda grunted; he forgot that they lived in two separate countries.
"Write me? We can find a way to see each other someday." Allen frowned.
"How about we don't think about that just yet," Kanda sighed, "let's deal with these reporters and I'll help you with your stuff back at the hotel. We can spend all that time together." Allen just gave a small nod. The pair then had to go through the mob of reporters once again. This time they asked questions and Kanda was Allen's translator. But in the back of their heads they worried about how by tomorrow Allen was going to be on a plane ride home.
