His quarry eventually came to a stop at a rather forlorn little building on a dark street. It didn't look like anything special, and, in fact, had the front of, of all things, a small time jewelry store. The thought made Kaito want to laugh, it really did. Instead he perched himself, like a cheerful little bird, on a building that allowed him a nice view of the area. He didn't want them escaping now did he?
Pulling out a pair of binoculars with a flourish that wasn't needed, but was there all the same, he leaned out into open space to check in on the group below. So far nothing seemed to be happening, and he smiled faintly at their confidence. It seemed that the idiots were sure they had outsmarted their enemies, and ruined all chance of pursuit.
Kaito wasn't sure how much time had passed, had barely moved the entire time he was waiting, when a sweep of the neighborhood revealed several familiar riot squad vans taking up position, and the people inside disembarking. Checking the crowd he failed to find the familiar detective among them, something that made him frown for a moment.
Where in the world had Shinichi gotten off to? It was highly unlikely he would stay out of this, after all.
Still, he turned away, and slipped down off the building he was on via the fire escape. It was easy enough to change into his own riot squad outfit, and mix in with one team or another.
There was no way he was going to miss this.
Ahead of him, one man shouldered the door open, and they barged into the silent interior of the room. Kaito and the other members of the squad fanned out, carefully covering the show room of the jewelry store. A lone man, behind the counter, stood gaping at them, while he sweated nervously. They had him slammed into the counter, and in cuffs in seconds.
Kaito followed the other men into the back of the shop. Some of them preceded up an inner stairwell to the floors above, while Kaito followed the other set down a short hall. He watched them check a few storage rooms as they went. Silently, one of the men motioned to the rest of them. They could all hear voices at the end of the hall.
The door was already open, no one needed to break it down. Kaito stayed outside, casting a few glances in, and watching as the riot squad members swarmed the place, shouting commands. He was starting to get worried, because he hadn't seen Snake yet, and that slimy bastard was the one he was most desperate to see behind bars.
If there were any chance, no matter how miniscule, that Snake could escape... Well, Kaito would make sure that didn't happen no matter what. He wouldn't let that murdering bastard creep out through the cracks.
Taking a few, careful steps back, Kaito silently melted into the chaos and headed for the stairs to see if he'd been caught up there.
The stairs were empty, and Kaito wished he'd had time to tap into the frequency they were using tonight for communications, but it hadn't seemed anywhere near as important as keeping a proverbial eye on Shinichi. He could have stopped now to figure it out, or even played up having forgotten and just gotten the information from someone, but...
A sudden explosion of sound and yelling from the middle level sent Kaito rushing up the stairs. He recognized that voice, would probably never forget it. Careening around an open door he watched someone go down, having just had the butt of Snake's rifle introduced to his nose. Going by the amount of blood, Kaito was pretty sure his nose was broken.
Snake lashed out at the men around them, clubbing them brutally with his rifle, and bulled his way toward the doorway where Kaito was standing. With a vicious grin on his mug, the sniper lashed out at Kaito too, and, rather than get his face clubbed in, he dodged out of the way. Snake was out the door as soon as he had a chance.
Gritting his teeth in impatience and annoyance, Kaito forced himself to check on the groaning men nearby. They'd get Snake, and the next time he'd be better prepared to stand his ground. Or, at the very least, take Snake out from behind. Once he'd made sure everyone was relatively okay, Kaito slipped over to the window and slid it open. It was a work of seconds, like taking candy from a baby then returning it and making the baby smile, to wriggle out of it and use a tiny ledge a few feet below him.
Holding onto the window sill with the tips of his fingers, Kaito glanced down and back, judged it, breathed in once, then braced his legs and back flipped off. He landed with a great clang on the outside of the fire escape on the other side of the alley, and reached back immediately to grab the railing. It was easy enough to flip himself over said railing and onto the fire escape properly.
Down below, the door burst open and Snake exploded out, already running.
