kumiho watched as they tried—keyword, tried—to persuade the detective that they were innocent. she huffed and looked down at her cuffs that conjoined her with gai and miyo

❝ can't we just knock him out and steal the key? ❞, she whispers to miyo who actually considers it

gai shook his head, ❝ we can't risk it girls ❞

they rolled their eyes at him with a blank look. kumiho can't be bothered to listen at the commotion until a loud crash from the toilet caused her to jump

❝ what was that ❞, she asked, taking a step back and bumping into liu

they shared a look and watched as detective frank approach the toilet and opened the door. they managed to catch a glimpse of someone's foot from the window before disappearing on the roof of the train

❝ all right you lot, start climbing that window ❞, frank ordered the group, with a stern look

kumiho laughed, a deep, mocking, laugh. she gently pulled her cuffs and stepped on the toilet seat as she looked out the window

❝ you've got to be joking me.. ❞, she muttered and started to climb out the train. it was a struggle considering she's cuffed to miyo and gai but they somehow got on top of the train

as the group followed after them, the mysterious person had already jumped back inside the train

❝ he's inside the train's cafeteria ❞, frank informed them, ❝ come on, keep walking and try not to fall to your death ❞

popo gulped, ❝ that isn't reassuring at all ❞

❝ tell me about it ❞, lonky muttered, taking small, shaky steps

kumiho brings a hand up to adjust her hair slightly from the harsh wind. her actions stilled when two hands are pressed firmly on her hips, keeping her in place

she glanced back and smirked, ❝ never thought you'd make the first move, lover-boy ❞

he flinched, diverting his eyes from her and sheepishly smiled, ❝ no!—it's just, you know, to keep you from falling, i mean the wind is pretty strong ahaha... ❞

she placed a finger on his lips, stopping his rambles and faced forward. one arm was around miyo's mid-section and they continued to follow the others

once they entered the cafeteria, they were handed a white cloth to wipe away the dust from their faces

❝ looks like they escaped ❞, kumiho resumed, ❝ again ❞, her glare directed to frank

liu laid his hand on  the small of her back, his thumbs softly rubbing her clothed-skin, ❝ relax kumi.. ❞

after the useless chase for the mystery person, they headed back to the same spot

liu spotted something from the corner of his eyes and looked at the cabinets. he tugged on his cuffs, pulling popo along with him and looked up

❝ pala? ❞

the group heard the familiar name and turned around to find the impala hiding on top of the cabinets

kumiho immediately rushed forward, ignoring the whines and helped the man get down. she wiped his tears with a concerned look and held onto his hand

❝ i didn't mean it.. ❞, he sniffed, leaning his head on the girl's shoulder for comfort, ❝ the train left and i just wanted to catch up with you guys, it wasn't my intention to kill anyone but it just happened—i swear! ❞

kumiho pat his hand, ❝ take a deep breath old man❞

franked walked up to the duo with a sympathetic smile, ❝ i'm sorry you had to go through that sir.. ❞

pala slowly nodded, appreciating his concern until he felt something cold on his wrists

kumiho hissed at the man, swiping her claws down and cut his cigar in half

❝ listen here detective, there's no way my old man would've done this on purpose so i suggest you to let him go or i'll slice you into twos just like your cigar ❞

❝ listen here young la— ❞

❝ —guys? ❞, popo said, gaining their attention. he pointed at the floor, ❝ isn't he supposed to be dead? ❞

they looked at him with a confused look and found themselves staring at the supposedly 'dead' pululu

he was on his feet, a slight twitch on his shoulder and his jaws hanging low with drool leaking from his mouth, down his chin

he turned around, his milky white eyes targeted to pala before it attacked him. the group scrambled away as the pululu took a huge chomp on pala's neck

❝ shit! ❞, kumiho cursed under her breath and opened the door, ❝ we need to leave—now! ❞
