Hayato was twiddling his thumbs as he sat in a chair waiting for the Chief's husband to arrive from the police station. He looked up the moment he heard the man's voice.

"Out Of My Way Please!"

Hayato saw the royal purple hair of Shigeo Shinso running towards him only to have his path blocked by a few doctors as a nurse ran up behind him.

"Sir what are you doing?"

The nurse huffed and spoke up. "You can't just go running through the halls you're not even signed in!"

Shigeo's hands clenched into fists. "Excuse me if I sound rude miss but...my wife got stabbed by a murderous psychopath! So tell me...why the Hell does that not constitute as a good enough of a reason for me to be running through the halls!!!"

The nurse backed away over his irritation and security quickly intervened by grabbing his arm. "Is there a problem here?"

Hayato saw that Shigeo's normally well managed hair was wind blown like an old Troll doll hairstyle. It looked like he ran all the way from the police station. He also looked like he hadn't slept much last night and he was clearly not going to cooperate with the standard procedures of the hospital, despite being a officer of the law.

Shigeo yanked his arm away from the security guard. "I'm not going all the way down to the first floor, just to sign some stupid slip of paper, when my wife needs me!"

The security guard stepped forward and spoke sternly. "Look pal I'm sure your wife is fine but you need to come with us..." The moment he placed his hand on Shigeo's shoulder Hayato gulped over the man's haunting glare.

"Get your hand off me."

The nurse pleaded, "Sir please..."

The security guard threatened, "If you don't cooperate then..."

They both froze with brainwashed eyes. Shigeo spoke with a half lidded gaze. "You are to walk down the stairs and head back to the ER waiting room and continue on with your jobs."

The moment they left he waited until he knew they had reached the bottom step before releasing them. He turned and finally saw Hayato.

His eyes widened and Hayato was suddenly grabbed by the shoulders from a frantic Shigeo.

"Where. Is. My. Wife?!"

Hayato's mouth refused to open as he quickly pointed to the closed door.

Shigeo slammed open the door with a frantic look of dread on his face only to gasp when he saw his wife. She had a now healed over scar running horizontally from cheekbone to cheekbone and over the bridge of her nose. She was awake and smiled faintly at him. Her bright lavender eyes shined as she spoke to him in a raspy voice over the sudden movement of discomfort.
