Shouken took a second to take what the Tendou girl had said and processed it through his mind. 

[I][color=mediumslateblue]Hmmm...This kid sounds like he's fairly strong.[/color][/i]

Shouken took another second  to observe Akio's reactions and realized that the mission had just gotten a little more complex. 

As Akio proceeded out the door, Shouken carefully depicted her feelings about the situation (If they weren't already clear enough and even though she didnt make a sound, the boy knew her reason for leaving and decided to keep it to himself. 

He had heard Rin speaking once, but her current question was the one that caught his ears. She asked Aoi about the Kokatsu in a demanding manner, however Rin probably didn't realize her tone and for that matter Aoi probably didn't catch it either, so yet again he kept quiet and examined a few documents near him and began reading on the kidnappings. He was hoping to find a pattern other than that of the symbol and be able to catch there killer, but there was nothing.

Neatly stacking his papers, Shouken stood up from his chair at the table and headed for the balcony. He knocked on his left hand pocket to hear the ting of his little tin case. His mission has possibly changed complete objectives and took on a slightly different caliber, so he wasn't sure when he'd get another break. 

[color=mediumslateblue]"Aoi-sensei, if someone arrives, may you please tap on this door window?"[/color] He asked, while opening and slipping out of the door, gently letting it close completely. Within seconds he was atop a parrallel roof only a few feet from the hotel. 

Shouken popped his tin and took one his rolled treats from the casing. A lighter sat evenly fitted in the case and Shouken snagged it and proceeded to light his joint. The smoke filled him up and relaxed his muscles. His brain ran with thoughts but soon afterwards he excluded all that from his mind. Instead he was chuckling at the city below, calling them ants and what not.
