Takano lets herself down gently and dusts herself off. "Sorry about that. Bad habit of mine. What do you mean fleeing the scene of the crime? I just happened to be in the same spot as you, and Kenny mistook me for someone else right before he knocked me down."

::Iole scowls::
Don't give me that. You were inside with us at the party when me and Kenny left out the back, and then suddenly you're clear at the other end of the party. All I'm saying is you got there waaayy too fast. The only way you could have pulled that off was if you followed us out there and then run past us while we were distracted.

The nurse stares back at Iole with wide eyes. "Oh my god.... you like, totally think I did it! I swear I was with Oliver and the ninja wannabe the entire time... right up until I wasn't. But my point is that it couldn't have been me! I didn't have enough time! You guys don't really think I could have pulled something like that off do you? I'll admit I can be a little nuts, and maybe I have been following you, but I'm not a killer! Does this look like an outfit I'd wear if I was planning on spilling someone's guts? You guys have to believe me!"

So you have been following us?! Alright, spill it Miyo. Cat's out of the bag, now either you tell us what you were doing in that alley, or... I could always have Ren beat it out of you.
::Ren hears Iole's voice, but her lips aren't moving, nor does it sound like it's coming from her mouth so much as inside his head::
Good cop, bad cop. Roll with it.
::Then she's back to "warning" the already anxious new suspect::
Yeah he's nuts. I wouldn't push him too far. I've seen him totally snap and beat answers out of someone before. I can try to hold him back, but I don't think that'll last too long.

"Eeep!" Takano squeals and ducks behind Kenny quickly. "Please Kenny, you're a nice guy. You believe me don't you?"

:Kenny started to shake a bit as he listened to the whole thing but didn't know what to do. He felt a bit pale as he just fainted on the ground, he was alright but was worn out:

((Happy St. Stephen's day everyone! lol, its true, today is the actual holiday. Going down to my Irish pub later )) Oliver, ignoring the conversation inside, continues to watch intensely the battle outside. The occasional flash of light from an explosion causes him to recoil momentarily but never forcing him to cower. More gunshots erupt from just outside, followed by a few screams, and Oliver just watches without even flinching, morbidly desensitized to the sights. The thud from Kenny fainting though draws him back into the room, casually looking over his shoulder to where the sound emitted, then rolls his eyes. "Is he gun'a be alls ri'ht?" Oliver asks, looking down at Kenny's body then up to Iole and the rest. "A'so, tha wasent ta Harvester who 'illed Maddi and Mose, it wasent. Too ugly, no clean a'all. Jus 'ike in ta alley is was when Ren kic'ta corpse." With that statement, out of place, Oliver jumps from his chair perch and wonders around the flat, curiously looking at anything that catches his eye.

"Try not to touch anything sweetie." Takano calls to Oliver while she kneels by Kenny and tries to fan him awake. "Can somebody get me some water?"

::Iole takes her time finding a glass and taking it to the sink to fill it up before handing it to the nurse::
Alright, so spill. Why have you been following us?

"I won touc anytin!" Oliver frustratedly exclaims back to Takano, though he doesn't head her request in the least and once out of eye-shot of the creepy nurse he begins looting various shiny things from her flat, pocketing them under his coat.

Takano takes the glass of water from Iole, but instead of using it to help Kenny like they had thought, she gulps its contents down her throat quickly. "Thanks, I needed that. Running from angry mobs is thirsty work." She returns her attention to Kenny. "Look, I'll admit I haven't been entirely honest with you. I had another reason for coming to Lindblum. But it's nothing children should hear. I'll tell him when he wakes up, and if he's satisfied will you please stop looking at me like I need to be put down?" For good measure she throws out a bribe in a sing-song voice. "Oliver, there's a meat-pie in the fridge for you."

"Yea... yea..." Oliver calls back to Takano from another room. "Pro'ably 'as a need'e int, it does." He mumbles as he reemerges into the main-room with the others, only to skate through to the kitchen.

:Kenny slowly begins to wake up from his sudden faint as he looked up feeling a bit embarrased as he began to speak up: "Sorry..guys, just was a little dizzy after all that had just happened"

::Iole takes a seat on the opposite side of the room and folds her arms in a pouting manner::
Good, you're awake. Miyo just gave us an offer. She's admitted that she's been lying to us and that she's been following us, but she won't tell us why. She said she'd only tell you, and if you say she's clean we'll believe you. But it had better be a damn good reason.

-Meanwhile, on the streets of Lindblum-
An explosion rocks the building on the corner to the main entrance, scattering brick, stone and glass as deadly shrapnel. Adrian ducks behind a burnt out police wagon, shielding himself from the heat and deadly shards.
Various gangs have set up check-points throughout the Crest and out lying regions in the city, establishing themselves spheres of influence to coordinate their battle efforts against the other gangs. It's a violent atmosphere, blood runs freely through the streets, the cries and screams of the dying are drowned out by gunfire and the cackle of fires. It's ugly, bloody and violent with no sense of purpose or reason and Adrian is caught in the center of it, stuck.
With the street ahead of him barricaded and an army of gang members around him, he takes respite in the shell of a looted building. Near a window, he watches the battle unfold on the streets.
He uses the mirror once more. "Iole." He says in a high whisper. "Delayed a little here. Some gang has set up a road block in front of me, going to find a way around. I have some information though, I think I may have seen the one who killed those two kids." There's a pause, Adrian checking the window. "Dammit, think they found me! Adrian out." The mirror goes blank.

Adrian? Adrian?! Dammit!
::She stuffs the mirror back into her pocket::
Adrian's out there. He says he caught a glimpse of who might have killed Mose and Hellcat Maddi. I'm going out to look for him. You guys stay here and keep an eye on her.
::She heads upstairs to the bedroom where she finds a balcony that leads outside. It's the perfect place for a takeoff if she decides to sprout wings. She waits for an opportune moment, preferring not to be seen by one of the mob::

:Kenny watched as Iole left for now and afterwards he turned his attention toward Takano as he began to speak up.: "Why were you following us to begin with? I'm sorry about earlier when i jumped you."

Takano grins. "Oh no problem, that felt good." She blushes a little. "Sorry, don't tell Lilly I said that. Anyway," she pauses to make sure Oliver is still busy rummaging through her belongings before she continues, "I'll admit I was following you. I had a reason, but you have to promise me you will not repeat this to anyone. Not even Lilly. I didn't just come to Lindblum to drop off Rena's notebook. When I heard you were investigating the Harvester, and that he may have had something to do with Dr. Irie's death, I had to stay around." She gets an odd guilty look on her face. "He and I were very close.... closer than most people think. Not even his wife guessed it...." she studies Kenny's expression to see if he's connecting the dots. "We had to hide things from his wife..." Kenny still seems at a loss. "Oh follow the breadcrumbs Hansel, we were having an affair!" She looks around the room quickly, thankful that both Oliver and Iole are still outside the room and that Ren seems too occupied to take notice. "My point is that he and I were close, and for him and his wife and children that I betrayed with him, I have to find out why he died. But I can't let anyone find out why I'm really here. If his family ever found out, it would destroy their memory of him. Please promise me you won't spill the beans. I can help you guys as long as I stay close, and I'll be quiet as a church mouse, I promise. Please?" She gives him a doe-eyed face and sticks out her lower lip.

:As Kenny listened on he was in shock to hear about her affair with Dr Irie. He then thought about what she wanted him to do as he took a deep breath and began to speak up: "Ok...I won't tell anyone at all"

Iole, you there?
