The sight of the body was one of the first things Michael saw when Kat hesitantly opened the door. He was acting strange and the fresh blood stains did not go unnoticed by him. After a solid five minutes of bickering and Katsumi acting cagey did he finally stop obscuring the gruesome scene with the door partially open and Kat wedged in between it tightly.
He recognized the face as one of the cult members, though the man's named slipped his mind. Not that Michael could be bothered to remember all their names.
"Oh, Katsumi." His heart sank but not for the so-called 'victim.' Those members pushed the envelope and did horrific acts themselves, though Michael was still uncertain if the man deserved his fate.
With gentle hands he cupped Katsumi's face. "We're going to clean this up and we're going to clean you up, and then I'm going to make you a hot tea." Concern sank in as he saw the fearful look in Katsumi's eyes and the way he shook like a scared animal.
"We can't let anyone know about this, especially them. If they find out, they'll do more than just ring your doorbell too many times."
So many questions were running through his mind. Why did he have to get involved? Why he couldn't he have let Michael deal with the man? Why?
