The Man In The Mask

Chapter Ten. The Airport.

(Finch's POV:)

I ran to catch up with Haru and we walked into the area where the offices were.

"Excuse me! Could I have everyone's attention please!" I yelled out across the room while grabbing Haru. Everyone turned towards our direction and silence swept across the room.

"What are you doing?" Haru whispered to me but I didn't reply back.

"We have a new member joining our team. He is already assigned to me. His name is Haru Himura. Please treat him well." Once that was said and down I pulled Haru over to my desk and told him to sit down. I then went around gathering a few people.

"Haru I would like you to meet a few people. This is Lyn Rodgers, she does the autopsies and examines evidence,"

"Hi, it's nice to meet you." She held out her hand for me to take it but I didn't.

"Derrick Smith, who works in the field,"

"It's nice to have someone new around here. Nice to meet you."

"And Peggy Danvers, our computer expert."

"Sup."

"I'm not joining a team. I told you that I would only work with you. A team was never a part of this plan." Haru said in an aggravated tone.

"I'm not risking my life with total strangers."

"You did with Lyra and me." I replied back. He glared but didn't say a word. Just then someone came over the intercom.

"There is an emergency at the airport. Everyone is reported to go." People started to scrabble.

"Let's go!" Derrick announced and the three of us were off. We raced to my car but then I thought about Haru.

"Haru what are you going to do? You can't get in the car without getting sick."

"I got this don't worry about me." I nodded him off and started the car.

"What are you doing Joe? Haru still has to get in."

"He'll be fine." I watched him race down the street and then into an alleyway. Next thing I knew something was going along the rooftops. It was Haru, he was out of sight and out of mind of anyone on the streets. But Derrick and I saw him.

"He is insanely fast! How is he doing that?!" Derrick asked but I didn't have a reply because I didn't know how. We then left the station making it there before Haru, but he got there not that long after us. Derrick got out of the car and ran over to Haru grabbing him.

"How are you so fast?!" Haru gave a disgusted look and pushed Derrick away.

"Don't touch me." He then walked away to the area where everyone was. We followed suit and noticed that no one was going in or coming out.

"What's the situation here?" I asked a man standing in front of the police tape.

"We have three shooters in there, only one person has been injured so far."

"Why aren't we going in?"

"They threatened to take the life of a hostage if someone were to enter so we are waiting for higher elites."

"Tch." Haru had said and pushed through making his way to the main entrance.

"Haru where are you going?!"

"What's the point of waiting I can handle the job unlike any of you." I hesitated but then followed him. Derrick was with me as I crossed over.

"Finch, Smith, and Himura what do you two think you are doing?!"

"I can't just let those people sit there while their lives are on the line." Haru had stated. He then jumped up onto a car then onto the roof. Everyone was amazed as he did it with little to no effort. I quickly pulled out my phone and called Peggy.

"Peggy, it's Joe. Can you do me a favor and pull up the security footage for the airport?"

"Of course I can."

"Derrick we have to get in there somehow."

"Right." We looked around and found a door leading into the airport that wasn't near the main entrance. Once we were in, we snuck into the area where everyone was being held up in. I didn't know where Haru was until Derrick nudged my shoulder and pointed up towards the ceiling. I then saw Haru climbing through a vent and into the rafters. Then he jumped down and acted as if he was apart of the crowd. Two of the men who were talking had seen something come down from the rafter but didn't know what. Then they saw Haru and walked towards him.

"Get up!" Yelled one of the two men.

'What?' Was what he replied with.

"I said get up!" The man yelled and grabbed him by the jacket pulling him to his feet.

"'What's happening?'" Haru said but I didn't understand what he was trying to say.

"What is he saying?" Asked the other man who was just standing there.

"I don't know, but it's something foreign." Said the one that was holding Haru.

"Does anyone know what he is saying?!" A woman then stood up nervously.

"He's speaking in Japanese. I am a translator."

"Well then, get your ass up here and tell us what he is saying." She walked up slowly. And stood next to Haru with worry on her face.

"'What's going on? Why do they want me on my feet?'" Haru asked confused.

"He said, 'What's going on? Why do they want me on my feet?'"

"Ask him if he can speak English?"

"'Can you speak English?'" She asked Haru and he replied back.

"'A little but it is hard to understand.'"

"He said, 'A little, but it is hard to understand.'"

"Alright. What is your name?" One of them asked slowly. Haru seemed to be processing what he was saying and then replied slowly.

"My... name... is Haru... Haru Himura."

"Come with us. You are going to be questioned." Haru tried to process it but shook his head as if he didn't understand.

"Fuck it just bring the translator along." They then started to drag them off to a back room.

"How does he know Japanese? And why was he playing dumb, he knows English?" Derrick whispered to me.

"I honestly don't know a lot about him. He is only giving me a little information at a time."

"Are you sure that we can trust him then?" I looked at him then to the place that they were going to and sighed

"I guess we'll just have to wait and see."
