‘Choosing Sides’ Part Twenty-Four - You Look Better In It
Yeah okay, it’s been AGES, I’m sorry… but yeah the story continues! <3 B
There was silence for a painful thirty seconds as Kaga just stared at Miho’s face, and she gazed back. She wanted to be full of fire, wanted to respond as one should to terrorism, wanted to be completely and utterly certain about every decision she’d made – but it just wasn’t possible.
Circumstances were sometimes bigger than a person.
“Deputy Chief, if I could have a moment with Miss Fujiwara,” Kaga said, tone as Miho expected it to be – totally rigid, not a single ounce of give.
And Nomura saw this – he wasn’t an idiot, no matter how he played it up.
“Miss Fujiwara looks like she could use a friendly face, Captain,” Nomura smiled easily, and simply sat himself up on the gurney making himself comfortable. “So if it’s all the same to you, I’ll just hang out here.”
Kaga’s jaw slid a little to the left, but the next sound from his was an exhale caught somewhere frustration and resignation.
“Are you all right?” he asked, his back straight, his voice still tight.
“Knock to the head and a bit of a cut,” Miho replied, “which looks worse than it is.”
“No need to be a hero,” Nomura put in.
“She’s not,” Kaga dropped, still all steel and bristle. “She blew her cool, her cover and now the Tres Spades.”
