"Alright." You continued marching forwards. Eyes straight ahead. Ignoring everything that was going on behind you. "I take it you all know the drill. Agents who need them, do you have your keys?"
"We're missing one yoyoi!" Kumadori called from the back.
"Rob Lucci won't need one." Before you could decide otherwise, your eyes flicked back to the figure a little ways behind you. Meeting that horrific stare head on. "If he will be protecting me and escorting the prisoner, why should he have a key that could potentially open the prisoner's cuffs."
The eyes slitted. Murderous. "Such precautions won't be necessary. Since I don't lose."
You did your best to pretend that the reason your head snapped back so fast was out of necessity... not fear. "That might be so. But even then I cannot risk something this serious over a matter of pride."
He said nothing. Not that you even expected him to honestly, but his easy compliance couldn't help but send shivers up your spine. Anything would, with this much adrenaline pumping through your system.
"Good." With a flick of the wrist, you gestured towards Sabo. "We'll take the prisoner to the Gates. I assume the rest of you have a protocol to follow. Rob Lucci-" this time you pointedly did not look- "I trust you can handle your former employer."
Spandam bristled. "What?! Why am I being manhandled in this way! I can walk on my own two feet!" He raised his hands, chained in front of him in thick iron. "And get me out of these! They're chafing my wrists!"
"What? You really think that you're going to be allowed to walk free after attempting to harm a World Noble?" Kaku scoffed. "Your madness is honestly mind boggling."
"Why you...! You dare speak to me in that manner! And you're seriously listening to... to this bi-"
"Continue that sentence and you'll be gagged." Turning the corner, you used the angle to glare directly at Spandam's bloody face. "Be grateful that your situation is not worse, Spandam. Step one toe out of line and... well..." You tilted your head back towards the group behind you. "You know the capabilities of your own agents, don't you? I am sure anything they can do to you will be worse than simple words."
He paled, gulping those thin lips into an even tighter line as beady eyes flitted back and forth until they landed on Rob Lucci, and fell silent. Good. It would have honestly been easier to kill him, but he had far too many crimes to answer for to be solved with mere death.
A loud crunch echoed in the distance, followed by a far closer rumble that shook the stonework under your feet. You staggered a little, gratefully accepting Sabo's awaiting shoulder.
"They're here." Your lips pursed tight. Trying to refocus. Trying to stop yourself from panicking. "Everyone, move out to your places from here. Fukuro?"
"Chapa?"
"Go meet them in the lobby. Let me know how damaged they already look."
"Of course-pa pa!"
A rush of air tousled your hair as he vanished into something your eyes hadn't been trained to keep up with. And he was gone.
"Miss Saint." Kalifa spoke up. "Forgive me for questioning your judgement but... are you sure if that was a good idea? Fukuro is..." She faltered, and you knew without looking that she was readjusting her glasses out of having something to do. "One of us can go instead if you require more... subtle surveillance."
"Yeah, 'cause Fukuro can't keep his damn zipper shut," drawled Jabra. "You sending him down there will just let them all know about our plan."
You resisted the urge to roll your eyes, "Obviously. That's why I sent him."
