((After this and this and this.))

Aya PINpoints them to the Kitten in the House. She opens the door to Kakyou's rooms.

Aya-nii freezes in the process of standing up. He has a crumpled piece of paper in his hand which he just removed from the trash.

Hi. Your sister decided to bring an expert in to help find Kakyou. In case you're wondering, that would be me.

I'm not finding him on a casual reaching out. Somebody's making an effort to hide him. If so, I'll have to be careful in my effort to find him that I don't make myself too obvious. This is the sort of thing I'm trained for.

Before I really get to work, is there anything you know that you'd like to add? ::It feels to Schu that Kakyou has made some contact with Aya, and he's curious to see what Aya's made of it.::

[sinofsurviving]

Aya stands the rest of the way. That Schuldig is being professional makes him easier to deal with.

"I believe that Kakyou tried to contact me in a dream. He said he taken by Eszett and drugged."

[tastes_of_honey]

...great. Though that would explain a hell of a lot.

Okay, it's best if I have a place to sit and a bit of peace for this. This is not going to be easy or fun.

[dream_departed]

Aya reaches for Schuldig's hand to lead him to Kakyou's bed. He many not want to touch her as she is panicking as much as the drugs allow, and contact seems to make telepathy more sensitive.

"Is there anything we can get for you to make things easier or more comfortable for you?"

[dream_departed]

Aya goes to the kitchen and places two phone calls, one to Ginta and another to Yohji, letting them know what is going on.

She comes back to the bedroom and sits on the foot of Kakyou's bed as she waits for the calvary them to arrive.

It's not long before Ginta PINpoints onto the scene. He's fortunate that when the words 'Aya's world' and 'urgent' are said, the little pack he's with understands readily.

He knocks on the door to the room he thinks he hears everyone in. "Hello?"

[feline_casanova]

::Yohji PINpoints in just as Ginta is knocking. He's finally getting the hang of using a PINpoint and crutches simultaneously.::

::He raises a hand in greeting when he sees Ginta.::

[dream_departed]

Aya opens the door and steps outside. She closes the door behind her. From what he said, it doesn't sound like something he would want people watching.

"Thank you both for coming. Schuldig is telepathically looking for Kakyou right now.

"We still don't know anything more than Ran was told in the dream."

[tastes_of_honey]

::Schu has his shoes on but remains seated on the bed as he gives his report on his findings. If anyone has a problem with that, they can bite him.::

I have Kakyou's location. He's being held, drugged, in a recently abandoned hospital in the Takadanobaba neighborhood. There are three armed muscle guys, a telepath, and an Eszett doctor/scientist bastard with a God complex. All are armed with guns, though the three muscle have semi-automatics. The building is in fairly good shape, having been closed only due to a redundancy in the area, and it has a few traps but nothing all that advanced.

These are people on the run making do with what they have. That said, they're working toward reestablishing Eszett, with Kakyou as their captive intended precog.

[sinofsurviving]

It disturbs him to think he trust information from Schuldig.

"Will you be getting further involved in the rescue than finding information." He will not say thank you.

Aya turns to Yohji, looking significantly at the crutches. "You shouldn't get involved."

[tastes_of_honey]

Yeah. Besides, if you want to get past Dieter without him turning your brains inside-out, you'll need me.

::Schu's not surprised by the lack of "thank you," though it would have been nice....::

[dream_departed]

Aya tells him, "Thank you." before she falls sits down heavily on the bed. Luckily, it's big enough that she isn't touching him.

[broken_dreaming]

They only occupied a small part of the hospital. The traps were largely set up in the surrounding area to slow down any intruders and give warning. The three underlings had a schedule, at any given point in time, one of them was on guard outside Kakyou's door, one of them was patrolling the edges of their area as a precaution, and one of them was resting. Jeremiah had set it up.

They were more than a little on edge at the moment. Kakyou had told Jeremiah he'd Seen that Eszett would never rise to power again. Dieter had confirmed he was telling the truth. Jeremiah had been furious. He hadn't wanted to believe it. The man had retreated to his lab and locked the door. Even Dieter didn't dare disturb him. They couldn't help but worry about this. Jeremiah had done a lot to keep them alive, but this... All of this was very dangerous.

Kakyou drifted quietly in his dreamscape, where it was safe. Where Dieter couldn't touch him. He was going to have to time his awakening very very carefully. He absently stroked the deep russet cat curled up

[tastes_of_honey]

::Schu has used his talent to figure out where Dieter is inside the building. Having nothing to prove and being in no mood for bullshit, Schu Portals in behind Dieter and shoots him in the back of the head. Fair? This is Eszett here, and so was Schu.::

((done with Kakyou!mun's permission))

[broken_dreaming]

Dieter goes down, his head a bloody ruin. Gunshots carry, though, and it gets the minions stirred up. Jeremiah looks up from his work in the lab, frowning.

At the moment of Dieter's death, Kakyou's eyes open and he pushes himself off the bed. He lands awkwardly but manages to not fall.

[feline_casanova]

::PINpoints are wonderful things, really. Very useful for getting around without attracting notice. And the corner of these three hallways right here look like the best vantage point Yohji's going to get. At the very least, he should be able to see anyone coming before they see him.::

[sinofsurviving]

Aya was already moving Kakyou's direction, so he simply adjusts his course When Schuldig sends the message.

[broken_dreaming]

Kakyou is slowing down now. Between Schuldig's message and the gradual realization that he has no idea where he's going, the impulse to frantic flight is fading.

[sinofsurviving]

Aya finally sees Kakyou. He calls out as he gets closer.

[broken_dreaming]

Familiar voice. It gives him pause. He settles to the floor with unnatural grace, not pushing off into another jump this time. He looks around with unfocused eyes, one hand pushing his hair back. He doesn't notice that he is smearing blood into it.
