[in a quaint little outdoor cafe, dressed in a stylish black tight-fitted turtleneck sweater. drinking from a delicate looking china cup, totally casual, but is scanning the crowds waiting for his "delivery boy" to show up and bring him a certain package. but they seem to be running late, so is getting progressively more wary, but on the outside remains casual, ordering a second cup of tea when the waitress passes by.]

	And yet here we are, coincidence or not. Just because you have gone under the radar, it does not mean your actions are not going unnoticed. [feels the buzz vibrating in his pocket and sideways glances down at it.] That would be one more business contact that you will no longer be dealing with. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	You know what that deal was? Medicine. [scowls at, pushing gun against neck.] A comrade of mine is ill. Those who walk the streets don't receive the best medical care, you know. If you could have just minded your own business, someone could be getting better now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	If that is true, that would make one more less person for you to do business with. [come on, come on. one small opening is all that is needed. show it to him.] I hope it is nothing fatal. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It's my father. [lies. shh.] If you must know. He's an innocent, so congratulations on impeding on his recovery, and harming someone who had nothing to do with any of this. "To serve and protect," sure is selective isn't it? Just because a man gave birth to someone who turned out to be a criminal doesn't mean they should be treated as one, too. [preach preach.] (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	If your father is truly innocent, then he would be able to receive the proper attention required by medical authorities regardless of your record. [pressure, pressure.] What disease could he have that requires a medical pick up in a place other than a pharmacy? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He has lung cancer, and lacks the health insurance to get proper treatment. If you can't afford chemotherapy, then the hospital wants nothing to do with you. It shouldn't be terminal, but the system intended to protect sick people hurts them more than it helps. I'm all he has, I've been taking care of him and getting medicine smuggled to him, so he can at least not suffer. I, too, can't afford to pay such immense hospital bills, no matter what I do. He's a strong man and determined to recover on his own, even despite the seriousness of his ailments... do you know how long it takes to set up a connection that will actually give a shit about this? Thanks for ruining it. [looks hurt, like you just kicked his puppy.]

	Criminals should act within the night and not out in midday. That was a risk you took and your father has my deepest condolences for his illness. [does genuinely feel bad about that but there is nothing he can do about that anyway. that will be sealed away in the evidence room.] (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	discordian 2010-02-28 02:24 pm UTC (link)
	Of course it's a risk! [shouts with that tiny little whine, making him sound genuinely upset.] Isn't there anybody you care about, who you'd go to the ends of the Earth for? I have nobody else... I don't even have my own brother anymore. Now the last of my family is dying, and you're taking them away from me again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Are you lying to me? [stares at.] (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I have no reason to lie to you. I'm the one with the power in this situation, so why would I lie to appeal to you? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	You have never given a reason to place any trust in anything you say. [looks down at his pocket since hands on head with a gun pointing at that close range doesn't make anyone want to dive in and get it.] Let me get my cell. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I may be a bastard, but I wouldn't lie about my own father. [yes I would.] Why, so you can call for backup? Likewise, I have no reason to trust you, either. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	You wouldn't help me... you don't care about how much it hurts to watch your own family die. [slips gun down, looking distressed and pained.] (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

[opening. perfect. exactly what he needed. disarm and chance getting shot if he snapped out of it or get out of the line of fire and draw his own? not enough time to make that decision, pushes up at the same time and knocks the arm out of his direct line of fire. grabs onto his wrist firmly and pulls it down, aiming it towards the ground in case of accidental fire from shock, yanking his arm in tight to get their bodies into closer proximity, shortening the distance and restricting the other arm from fighting back, staying at his opposite side.] You do not care about the ones that die as a result of your actions.

	... [effectively pinned, but doesn't resist, just going limp.] If you do this, an innocent man will die. Is that okay with you? [asks softly, leaning forward and resting his head on Hashirama's shoulder, making this look more like an embrace than a struggle of life and death.] (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It can't be undone. [of course he isn't okay with that but he has a job too and letting go of someone who is not innocent at all is failing to do what he swore to do.] (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	[shaky breath, the smallest of sniffles. oh yeah, playing it up.] Are you okay with catching me for helping someone? Of all things... isn't that taking advantage of me. I just wanted... to do something good for once. Am I bad for that? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	What do you want from me? They are in custody. If the package is exactly what it is, they will be released. If not, they will he charged. There is nothing I can do about it regardless. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Please. [leans fully against, as if seeking comfort.] Please. Catch me for hurting someone, not on the one circumstance where I'm trying to save someone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

[admittedly, this isn't the way that he wanted to catch him if the story is true. would rather take him down in a full scaled operation than an accidental run in for coffee.] ... [knows very well that he shouldn't be trusting him at all, the entire story is probably bullshit and just because he sounds genuine, that could all be an act. But that doesn't stop his hand loosening off around his wrist.] Drop the gun.
