|| Appearance ||Image
Geoff is an averagely handsome man of the nondescript variety. A ragged mess of black hair sits upon his head, always pushed back out of his eyes that he can see. The back of his mane falls to his shoulders where it sits like a crow. His eyes are a brilliant green color, perhaps the only color the man entirely possesses. Otherwise, he is a man of grey scale nature. He is a fair figure with unblemished skin, which paints a stark contrast with his hair and his preference for dark suits. A marble mask sits on his face which betrays no emotions other than the ones he want. His features are sharp and angular period with a staring gaze.

He's not a tall man either, but neither is he short. He sits at a comfortable middling at having to not look up nor down at people often. He's not what one would call built either, but the again neither is he all skin and bones. Fibers of muscle and sinew crisscross underneath his skin, drawing a road map of where he's all been. He is a person of a completely average nature, as all the stark extremes were spent on his coloration. This does not give him an intimidating appearance, nor even a particularly strong one, not that Geoff minds. The notions of manliness are wasted on him, he is simply what he needs to be.

Business-like is perhaps the best way to describe Geoff. He is one who would rather sit and thing rather than act brashly and it shows. He is a pair of glasses away from giving off a librarian like vibe. He is always seen to be dressed in various dress suits and ties, all impeccably neat. When he's feeling particularly fancy, he even dons a green scarf, adding another splash of color to his stark contrast. He walks with a slow deliberate pace, and his eyes cast around like a hawk's, searching for the next clue or hint for the case at hand.

|| Personality ||
Thoughtful, Geoff is the man who tends to think before he acts or speaks. He is in possession of a deliberate nature, no word nor action is wasted. Everything he does contributes to a desired effect. This of course has an effect of giving him a slow calculating pace. Otherwise, Geoff is a quite man of little words. He's perpetually calm and collected without a temper to speak of. Say and do whatever you want to him and you will never extract a rise out of him. The most you'll get is a cold hard stare leveled your way. If it's especially egregious, you'll get a comment stating such. This gives him the patience of a saint, and he will wait to time's end if he thinks the outcome is worth it.

This being said, somehow Geoff doesn't give the impression of an apathetic individual. He cares about things and people, it's just that drawing these emotions to the surface is difficult, and getting him to actually act like it is a lesson in futility. He has no problem speaking his mind, it's just off-putting when he's telling someone he likes them in an emotionless tone and an empty look affixed to his face. He has a beating heart underneath all the layers of stone. Surprisingly, Geoff is a closet idealist. The ideas of justice, peace, and happiness are enticing, though believes that they aren't for him. He would always attempt to do the right thing if it's not also the stupid thing to do.

Geoff is an intelligent man and puts the inspect in the Inspector. He runs crime scenes like a well oiled machine, and not much escapes his view. Even the most gruesome of crime scenes don't faze him. He'll simply glance and get to work without a word said. Even then, his intelligence is apparent in his speech-- when he speaks. His dialect is a learned one with intelligent diction and enunciation. It's only due to his subdued accent that marks it as his second language, the first being the Queen's English. He's quick with his wits and has the critical thinking to boot. A bit of a surprise, but Geoff has the empathy to put himself in the criminal's shoes, to analyze and deduce the reasoning behind most lowly criminals. The Artist, however, is one of the ones who's head he cannot enter-- for better or worse.

This sings of a man who has everything in his life together. This is far from the truth. Geoff is an alcoholic, and those night when he does sleep, he sleeps in a drunken stupor. It's his coping mechanism, it's how he deals with his day to day. He stares into the darkest hearts of man, and he leaves a bit of himself every time he does. He is a man who's faith in humanity is steadily decline, and the drink is an attempt to put a blurry filter on what is and let's him see what could be more clearly. It's his dark secret, and one he keeps locked away under lock and key. He lets enough of it out so that others would only think that he simply enjoys his whiskey, not that he needs it. He's got it under control enough so that he doesn't drink on the job, but once Geoff stops being an inspector, the flask comes out.

|| Weakness ||
Slow | Inspector Allan is an incredibly methodical person and tends to take his time when working. This makes him slow to act, rather taking the time to think things out before actually doing anything.

Weakness | Weakness is Geoff's weakness, as in he's not as strong as another man of his size. He is not a fighter, warrior, or other synonyms of such. He can be thrown like a wet paper sack if pressed into one on one combat.

Quiet | Geoff is exceedingly quiet, only speaking when needing to, or spoken to. He does not initiate conversations, nor does he make "small talk".




Image
|| Personal Strengths ||
Intelligent | Geoff is in possession of quite the intellect. This allows him to see details others would miss, put him in the boots of the criminals, or otherwise just makes him a walking encyclopedia.

Thoughtful | All that time he takes to think things over pays off. Geoff is a man of little waste, accomplishing his goals with the minimum amount of required effort. He has thought all the possibly ways an incident could go down, and chose the simplest of them.

Clever | Pragmatic and adaptable, Geoff sometimes employs odd tactics that still somehow get the job done

|| Personal Weakness ||
Alcoholism | Geoff is stricken with the demon drink and he's ashamed of the fact. He's able to control it enough that he won't drink on the job, but anywhere and everywhere else is fair game. He tries to downplay his addiction as much as he can, so others will only think of it as a hobby. Truth is, he can hardly sleep if he isn't sloshed.

Idealist | Geoff desperately wants to believe in the good of people, and that the world isn't spiraling into complete and utter disarray, despite what he sees in his day to day. He believes in the notion of justice and mercy, and in the heart of men, but he's been bitten more times than he could count. It won't stop him from attempting to be a good person though.

Emotions | This is a two-fold issue for Geoff. He has them, but he doesn't know how to express them. He feels as well as the next person, maybe even more but he doesn't know how to convey these feelings. So he simply doesn't.

|| Biography ||
Geoffrey Lee Allan was born to a Japanese mother and an English father. His father was a detective in London, while his mother was a student attending university to become a doctor. He only spent the first couple years of his life in England before his mother graduated the family uprooted and moved back to his Mother's home of Tokyo. While in Nursery school in London, Geoff was a fun child, always talkative, and just your average kid in general. Things started to change in Tokyo. He became closed off, quiet, and reserved, mostly because he couldn't understand the language they were speaking. The other kids didn't interact with the foreigner which only made things worse. He finally began to learn the language, but the damage was done. He grew to be a closed off, shy child.

Problems on the home front certainly didn't help matters. Only two years after the move, his parents began to argue. Arguing grew to yelling grew to hurtful things, all in front of Geoff. His mother had had enough and up and left the father and son. Geoff's father reacted by throwing himself into his work, and soon became an Inspector. Geoff meanwhile continued to go to his classes and made great marks. Not that his father seemed to care much. He soon drifted into the drink, and Geoff had all but lost his father but in name. He wasn't home often, and when he was he was either drunk or asleep. In hindsight, Geoff was lucky he turned out how he did. A lot of other kids would have lashed out in his position. He simply retreated inside.

Graduation came one day, and per usual his father was nowhere to be seen. He soon enrolled in the only thing he knew, the Tokyo Police. The parting between father and son was a quiet affair, as Geoff just silently left his father's house. He hasn't seen his father since then, but he has heard that the man retired. Other than that, Geoff doesn't even know if the man is alive or not. Geoff soon began to rise in the ranks until he became an inspector like his father. And like father like son, Geoff found a retreat in the bottle. He understand the irony of becoming what his father was, and attempts to make an effort to be a better man, but the allure of the drink is too much to resist.

He had been working a case for a couple of months. A criminal was running a smuggling operation that spread all across Japan, and it was up to Geoff to apprehend her. He studied her, knew her habits, knew her name, knew nearly everything about her that he needed to know. The only thing he couldn't do was find her. It was a game of cat and mouse, with him tirelessly searching for her. He intercepted some of her contraband, and even led raid against what he thought was her base of operations, only to leave empty handed and have another one spring up later. She was a... Difficult one to capture.

It was during what he thought was the same song and dance that he apprehended her. He was surprised, as he believed she would escape him this time as well, but Geoff had aid. Apparently there had been a schism in her organization. In the end, she had been shot leaving Geoff to drag her to the nearest hospital. Perhaps he was sentimental, perhaps he was soft, or maybe he just admired her tenacity, but instead of just leaving her there to die Geoff saved her. Suddenly, he found himself acquainted with his new enforcer.

She was going to need a shower after this. Tera had a bit of his blood on her forehead now from the first crush against his nose and while having blood on her didn't bother her in the sense that it was blood, she just didn't like dry blood on her skin since when it dried it shrunk and felt like someone was stretching the skin under the blood out which was uncomfortable to say the least.

Tera took a step towards the down teenager prepared to slice away at his tendons in his exposed ankles when his hand shot out for the butcher knife again. She crouched down getting ready for him to stand once again as she wouldn't put it past him to be able to continue for a tad bit longer even with the bloodloss, but his arm raised up, the same way it had twice before. She knew well enough that the chances of being able to dodge at this range were null, so she dived at him, at the very least, assuming she didn't die and she was very much the optimist when it concerned her own lie, he wasn't going anywhere after this.

The butcher knife flipped over and over in the air, and as she flew under it, the blade completed it's circle, the blade tearing through the fabric of her shirt and blazer, and the flesh beneath them slicing through the top of her left shoulder which she could feel starting to pump blood out, and the blade continued it's arc tearing out of her shoulder before sticking into the wall behind them inches from the doorway.

The pain flashed through her mind as her body registered a new gap in her skin that wasn't there a few minutes ago, but she had a job to do and her survival instincts were far stronger then her pain. Crashing into the teenager, she knocked him flat back against the ground, driving her knife into the shoulder of his working arm, and using her legs to hold down his own. Tera's emerald eyes simmered with a barely contained rage at the new scar that would decorate her shoulder, and her shirt was already starting to stick to her body as the blood pumped out the wound.

Rolling it, Tera noted that it wasn't deep enough to hit bone. A painful but minor injury, assuming she got it cleaned and closed before infection could sit in. "Stay," Tera commanded moving to push down on his throat with her now free left hand to keep him from trying to headbutt or bite here. Moving her right hand, she tapped her bracelet, "Suspect apprehended. Minor wound on left shoulder," She said quickly to keep her voice from wavering on the comline, there was no way in hell she was going to appear weak and have her voice quiver like a child's. No way. No how. With the message sent to both the kid and her inspector, all she had to do now was sit tight until they bagged and tagged the drugged up psycho.

With that message received, Geoff booted up his own Communicator and sent relayed a message to the rest of the Inspectors on the case. "Suspect apprehended. Need transport to medical facilities," Geoff said stepping out from behind the door and into the motel room. He figured as much, blood was everywhere and he couldn't tell who's was who's. He paused at the door to take the entire scene in. Tera was injured yes, though not so much as Akira was. He wished that she didn't have to nearly kill the kid, but results were results. Let's hope he survived before he exsanguinated. With his evaluation of the suspect complete, he stepped further into the room.

He fiddled with his communicator some more, commanded some of the drones that Torai had summoned to cordon the area off so that the Inspectors could work in peace. Once the initial work was done, he moved to help Tera flip the suspect over, at which point he brought the kids hands behind him and cuffed them together. Now all they had to do was wait for transport to take him into custody. Geoff noted his own hands and how Akira's blood had smeared over them in the process of cuffing him. He shook them violently, but otherwise did nothing to clean them off yet.

Turn back to Tera, he noted her wound. Nodding, he went into the room's bathroom and requisitioned a pair of towels. The first of which he used to clean his hands, the second he offered to Tera, adding a single word along with it. "Pressure," he reminded. Keep pressure on the wound to keep the blood where it was supposed to be. In the body, with the added effect of not contaminating the crime scene further. Using his own towel to wipe the remaining blood off of himself, he tossed it over his shoulder and reached into his jacket.

Out he pulled the silver flask. Engraved into the front were the letters "GLA", his initials. He opened the top, but while he he had a personal rule to not imbibe while on the job, he didn't force his own rules onto his Enforcer. She looked like she could use it more than him anyway. He offered her the flask offhandedly, while his own eyes were busy inspecting the crime scene at hand.

"You absolutely cannot break and enter like that! Hey, are you listening you so-called Inspector?!"

Shouichi sighed as he got the message. He opened it, and scanned it quickly that Tera had beaten the suspect thankfully. He clicked a button to request medical services. Soon the distant wail of an ambulance stood out between all the traffic, signalling they would be here soon.

The motel owner had hardly been cooperative and had kept him there explaining what was going on. Of course the guy was like what, forty? But Shouichi felt like he had to talk to him slowly like a five year old. He walked around to the door, and pulled it open.

"Just come with me Jii-san." Shouichi said, his patience already leaving his body from the current news of the caught suspect.

Shouichi dragged him to the other man to the room, and put his free hand over his nose. There was the over-whelming stench of blood from that room. The man seemed to have smelled it too since he gasped in surprised before breaking free of Shouichi's grip and ran into the room.

"What the hell happened here?!" The man exclaimed, as he took survey of the bloody floors, and the other two people in there with handcuffs on a kid. Shouichi sighed, and tapped his shoulder.

"I already told you Jii-san! There was a murderer in here!" Shouichi said, pointing to the dead body. The owner looked sick, turning pale as he ran out of the room. Shouichi sighed and waved his hand to the side of him.

"Some people are so rude these days!" He said before following the man. The man was busy barfing in a trash can when he got there and Shouichi inwardly grimaced. Seeing bodies had become a common thing lately, and he forgot what it was like for a normal person.

"Jii-san, I need the records of when he came in and what they paid with and stuff like that." The man nodded and they both headed back toward the check in desk. He flipped through the book, and pointed at the record. "Well that Geruna kid came in at 10:00 PM last night with another guy. He did most of the talking, but the other guy paid in cash." The man started out, to which Shouichi blinked at. Two people were in the room then? Maybe the other one was...

Shouichi shook his head slightly to get rid of the thought. They caught the guy for now, that's all that mattered. "Do you...have a camera perhaps?" Shouichi asked, to which the man nodded in response and pointed at the monitor inside the room. He walked inside, and looked at the footage as the man brought up the video from last night. His lavender gaze watched the two men it appeared checked in. He could recognize Geruna, but the other had a hood on to cover his face. He narrowed his eyes at the video, before tapping the screen where the hooded figure was. They still had one suspect then.

Shouichi downloaded the video to his communicator, before sending it back to HQ. He smiled at the man, before saying "Thanks for your cooperation!" With that, he walked out and summoned security bots and placed the yellow police tape all along and around the room. He made sure to block the section of the door off. Soon the ambulance arrived, and paramedics came out.

"Medical squad arrived!" He called in to the room. The paramedics were dressed in white, and brought in a gurney. They put Akira on before wheeling him out, and treating the injuries that had been caused by the enforcer. Another ambulance arrived and escorted Tera out to get her wound checked out and cleaned up before the bacteria from the knife went into her body.

The inspector was watching the entire time then? Tera wasn't sure why she was surprised because it seemed like something he would do. Monitor the suspects behavior before and after arrest, see how he acted under stress, yes, it should have surprised her more if he hadn't been watching. Giving a grunt of both annoyance and effort, she helped the inspector flip the teenager over, but not before she pulled out her knife from his shoulder as that was her knife that and rolling him onto the handle would have caused a lot of damage to his already heavily damaged body.

With the boy handcuffed, Tera rubbed the blade clean on the boys shirt ignoring the warm feel of her blood running down her back; she had work to do at the moment. The inspector left to the bathroom, probably to clean himself up, Tera was content with the blood on her as the bit on her head was already starting to dry. It didn't matter anymore as she wasn't going to be able to wash up fully, might as well embrace the feeling of dried blood until she could get back to HQ. Pushing herself to her feet, Tera walked over to the door and bent down to pick up her dominator. Couldn't just leave it on the ground could she?

She turned around just in time to grab the second white towel he offered, saying one word. Truly, the man was a master of showing appreciation. It was his fault she was bleeding in the first place. If he didn't need the damn kid, she would have just killed him at the start and would have avoided the whole bleeding part of this, but she took the hit so that he could solve his case against some crazy psychopath that was none of her damn concern, shaking her head, she was about to press it onto the wound when he offered up a flask. The initials made it obvious it was his, raising an eyebrow, she plucked it from his hands.

Tera was almost tempted to smile, but then again, she did get cut, but this was probably the closest her inspector would come to saying thanks, and honestly, she would never say thanks in his shoes. Flicking it open, she took a long swig to numb the pain noting with some elation that it was whiskey. Smooth, so she assumed it was eight years.

Moving to the side to stay out of his way, Tera slid her blazer off and unbuttoned her shirt, gently sliding it off her left shoulder to get a look at her, soon to be, newest scar. The blood was still slowly pumping out, but she estimated the cut was only three inches long, and she knew for certain it stopped at the bone. five stitches. She mused. Nothing that could stop her from working, but infection could, and she had no intention of being stuck in the cell for days until she was ready for work again. Taking another sip from the flask, she poured a little on her wound letting out a small hiss as the amber liquor washed away the blood and burned.

The kid walked in with an older man, but Tera was a little busy to care if the man saw her black sports bra, honestly, she didn't give a shit. She damped a small section of the towel with some of the whiskey and pressed down on the wound to stem the bleeding and to disinfect any strands from the towel that would get in the wound, once again letting out a small hiss of pain.

It wasn't long before she heard the tale-tail signs of sirens and moved to look out the door just in time to hear the kid call about their arrival. Great. She thought with very little enjoyment as this would be the second time in her life she had 'professionals' look at her. Dropping the towel, she picked up her Dominator and the flask and walked to the second ambulance, out right snarling at one paramedic to fuck off when he tried to take the flask away, and the sight of the gun in her hand was enough to convince him to drop the issue, even if she couldn't shoot him with it.

Sitting on the back, Tera ordered the nearest paramedic, "Disinfect and stitch me. I have to go soon, so don't bother with pain killers."

The medic was about to start the song and dance about getting her checked out, leaving the liquor, but she didn't have time for that. She was a little curious as to how the boy managed to get a score of only ninety-five, and if she went with them she would wake up in the cell... She didn't want to go back until she had to, so she snarled that it was about police business and to get on with it because she didn't have all damn day.

Tera let out constant hisses of pain as her wound was disinfected and a hiss for each time the needle stabbed into her flesh and was pulled through, but followed each hiss with a small sip of the whiskey. Not enough to get drunk, but enough to dull the pain. She kept her eyes on the motel door as when the inspectors left, she was going with them. Blood or no, she didn't want to go back to that room yet. Not if she can push it off for a few hours.

Fortunately for Tera, her inspector were one of the thorough types. As long as she identified herself as with him, she was going to spend a while at the motel. Back in the room, once Tera and the paramedics left the room to Geoff's devices, it became his turn. Reaching back into his coat pocket, he pulled out a pair of latex gloves and donned them, snapping the last one into place. Now with the fear of contaminating the crime scene quelled, Geoff can begin his analysis. Before he made his rounds, he gave the room a thorough look over.

It was a typical motel room. Standard two room design-- bedroom taking up a majority of the space and the bathroom a simple closet space. The decor was cheap, palm tree wallpaper with beige accents. A broken lamp sat in the corner, which Geoff chalked up to Tera's and the suspect's scuffle. Next to the door was a chair that Geoff had planned to throw if things went south for his Enforcer. It was good thing he didn't touch it-- the chair was position in such a way that someone obviously sat in it at one time. Squinting his eyes at it, he made a mental note to get it checked out for DNA. Though the chances of it pulling up something besides thirty other people was low. They hardly cleaned motel rooms like this.

All of that was axillary however. The focal point of the whole room was the body on the floor. Geoff took a step closer, careful not to step in the blood and bent down next to it. Female, young, the artist's usual victims. His mouth formed a hard line as he inspected her. They were late and she suffered because of it. He was going to have to find another bottle to drown in after that. To try and forget that failure, the darkness of it all-- though it never worked. He always woke up to another dreary morning with his head pounding like a drum.

He moved to gently cup the victim's face, putting his thumb near the curve of her chin. There he pulled back and inspected her throat. The Artist had a pattern of gouging out the victim's eyes only for their examiners to find them in their trachae. If they were in her throat, then they were further down as he couldn't see them. His hand fell from her chin to her throat where he felt around for anything unusual. There were lumps, which could have been her eyes, or they maybe they weren't. He wasn't a medical examiner after all. He'd let them test for rape too. Standing up and taking a few steps back, he looked upon the "art piece" in full.

How sick does someone have to be to think such macabre acts could even be considered art. What went wrong in that person's life to make them walk down that road? Geoff tilted his head curiously at the thought. They her was, trying to play armchair psychologist again. It wasn't his job to speculate, it was his job to nail down the hard facts and evidence. In front of him, the woman was displayed in an angelic pose. Her body was cut and bloody, the blood of which was used as paint to create the outline of wings on the floor. If there were any doubts that this was the artist's doing, then that fact alone dismissed them. Still, he had to keep an objective mind. Akira very well could be working alone-- a copy-cat killer though he didn't bet on it. Blood spattered the walls and floor in a haphazard manner as well, though these he'd analyze later to better under exactly how they were caused.

Geoff knelt down again, this time beside a bloody knife. It wasn't the butcher's knife or the pocket knife. Gingerly lifting the weapon up with two fingers he turned it over in his hand. It was covered in gore and viscera-- probably the victims. Tera's wound wasn't near that bad, and he was pretty sure that that knife wasn't the one that inflicted the injury on his Enforcer. That honor would probably go to the clever stuck in the door behind him. It'd be easier to cause injury with the cleaver than it would the knife anyway. The blade was made better for exact cuts-- ones that matched the victim's. The pocket knife was flimsy enough to not be the murder weapon either-- it could cause damage yes, but one would have to be proficient in it's use to be an effective killing weapon. His thoughts went out to Tera once more. Setting the blade back down, he added the the laundry list of mental notes to get the DNA checked out as well.

Standing back up he moved away and closer to the side wall to get a better view of the crime scene. Crossing his arms, Geoff set about tapping his bottom lip with his finger as he digested the information and added more mental notes to his already substantial list. In fact, he retrieved a small pad of paper form his pocket and began to transcribe some of them. He began to write down his thoughts and even some of the objects that the artist was likely to touch if he was, indeed, in this room as well at one point. A lot of them would be useless due to the number of people renting out this particular room, but being thorough was better than missing a collar because he was lazy.

Tera was going to get plenty of fresh air, because Geoff was going to be there for a while. Inspector Byakurai was probably getting the security tapes from last night-- he'd also take a look at those at some point. He'd let Inspector Itsuya and his new partner interrogate Akira-- Geoff wasn't much of a talkative person to begin with. Jotting a number of things down, he began to head toward the door, curious as to the contents of the adjacent rooms. Stepping over the threshold of the entrance, Geoff turned right and tried the door on the left. The door gave way and he peered in. Nothing, the room was empty. A lingering gaze affixed the room for a few moments more before his curiosity was sated, and he closed the door.

He passed by the door to the crime scene on his way toward the rightmost room, expecting more of the same. He gripped the doorknob and twisted, but what followed next he didn't see coming. Instead of opening to an empty room, he opened to the barrel of a gun and the intent stare of a single green eye. The rest of the face was obscured by a gas mask and a red hoodie. Perhaps the quickest thing he'd done his entire life, he jerked himself to the left, which very well might have saved his life, at least for a little bit longer. A long cracking gunshot echoed through the motel, and a gunshot ripped its way through his shoulder.

Everything was drowned out but the acute sense if pain emanating from his shoulder. Even in injury, Geoff proved the silent type, though his usually emotionless face finally betrayed pain. He gripped his shoulder with his hand as he tumbled back and the sound of shattering glass was on the edge of his mind, still gripped with pain.

Ten minutes. That's when the wail of the ambulance broke through the silent corridor of the motel room. It had taken the enforcer about five minutes to take down Akira-not surprising him in the least, since the enforcer was Tera Reed the former Blood Packers leader by his record. His green eye lazily watching as the Inspector came in and arrest the boy before paramedics took the woman and him out. The cameras he set up were still unseen surprisingly.

The Inspector seemed to have seen his art of the angelic woman flying to heaven.

Or hell, whichever she went too didn't matter after all. She was dead now, gone forever.

The white haired inspector walked through the door with the motel manager-if only he knew what he had been getting into, then maybe he wouldn't be having a dead body to deal with. He blinked, before leaning back into his chair, relaxing. they still hadn't checked the room just yet, so it was possible that he may not need to leave.

Supposedly, until he noticed the Black haired Inspector start to wander to the hallway. A brief sigh. Looks like he had to get rid of him if he came in. Reaching into his pocket, he drew a single silver revolver, before loading in the bullets. It had taken quite some time to get the items to make this gun. Especially the bullets.

Instead of the long drawn out pain he wanted, he'd have to make it quick and fatal. Too bad, he always indeed like the blood. he wondered briefly what he could make art out of that man's body, but banished it quickly. He didn't like using men. Their bodies were to muscular, compared to the supple body of a woman.

Yes, a woman would be far greater.

His thought was gone, as he heard the footsteps sound near the door. There was no caution at all. A frown creased his lips slightly under the black mask. Well, that won't be good for him. He almost slightly pitied the poor man who knew nothing of his fate as he opened the accursed door.

He watched the gold knob turn, signalling an intruder. He lifted the gun, and as soon as the door opened to its new person, the trigger was pulled, aiming directly for the heart...Unfortunatly, the Inspector had faster reflexes then he expected, as he dodged slightly to the left.

He didn't have time for another shot. After all, the gunshot echoed throughout the room. The inspector didn't yell. Scream. Or even grunt in pain, though his face contorted in pain, as he stumbled backwards clutching at his wound. Without a sound, the Artist quickly shot the glass of the motel room, before jumping out where a car was already waiting. He opened the door, and spoke a single word.

"Drive."

The car took off through the back entrance, easily avoiding the ambulance and police veichles. Oh well, that was enough fun for today.

Where would his next pawn be?

Tera's ritual of drink, pull, hiss went on as the small wire was tugged in an out of her skin, but she lightly put the flask on the side of the ambulance, being sure to make sure it wouldn't tip over, and grabbed some alcohol wipes to dab at her forehead to clean some of the caked blood off. Now that her adrenaline was starting to wear off, she was finding the blood to be rather annoying since it felt like her skin was being stretched out.

That was until a gunshot ripped through the air, and Tera's body kicked into action jumping off the ambulance and crouching low. Luckily the gunshot had spooked the paramedic, and he had let go of the needle in favor of looking around like a fool. In his defense, he had probably never heard a gunshot before. Most Japanese people hadn't, but Tera wasn't one of those having smuggled in her fair share and firing just a few less. From experience, she knew it was a handgun of some kind and close. Logic said there was only one place that it would come from. The hotel room she had just left. Tera hesitated for just a moment, her dominator was on the frits, her inspector was probably wounded and may now be a hostage, if he wasn't dead... Did she want to run in there with an armed person who had a weapon that didn't need a stupid reading to kill? No... but if she left him in there, she would get stuck back into her cell until they could find another inspector to give her too. Like a dog. The second gunshot blasted her concerns from her mind.

Sliding her knife back out of it's sheath and scooping up her dominatior, she ran for the open door slamming her back against the wall encase the gunman was still in there. Tera paused to look around at the paramedics who were either staring stupidly or crouching behind cars still looking around trying to gather their bearings. The security drones still buzzed around, but they would be of no help. Tera carefully peaked from the door seal, and she saw him. Her inspector was on the ground gripping his left shoulder. Tera let out a small sigh of relief that he was still alive and kicking, but where was the attacker? If the inspector was still alive, what was the second gunshot for?

Taking a breath, Tera swung into the room, pressing her dominator and knife in front of her ready to gut whoever tried to jump out of her. Coming closer to her inspector, she swung to the left to the open door and shattered window. Gone. That was obvious. The man had fled, but she wasn't taking chances again. Ignoring her inspector, she stepped into the room, checking the corners before peaking out the window to find nothing.

"I need medics in here." Tera said touching her comlink, "Inspector down.

It wouldn't take long for the paramedics to get in there, but she couldn't risk the gunman coming back, so she stood next to the window, occasonially taking quick peaks out, "Stay alive, Inspector. You may go into shock, so try and control your breathing." Tera advised still by the window. Looks like I won't be avoiding the hospital after all. She mused as the medics rushed to the Inspectors side.
