The Terror of London remerges.

A chilling presence looms at the back of Kotaro's spine. 

Death's doorstep calls out for the detective's life.

Kotaro saw up close in personal the face of terror. Its killing intent was clear as day.

A demonic figure stood behind in the shape of a mustache-twirling caped phantom wearing a mask. 

He froze.

In that brief moment, Kotaro's perceptions heighten having the dread feeling of being closer to death. His circuits were wide open, firing countless neurons to his mystic eyes. He takes a glimpse of his perpetrator before his final(?) moments. A sense of satisfaction knowing who this mystery assassin is, before he kicks the bucket. Even in the face of death, his curiosity and the search of answers always comes first.

A mental image of a film-like tapestry rolls out in memory, the sound of its reel was heard and each strip contains Assassin's movement in the past as it plays out frame by frame like a total recall episode of a vintage motion picture in his mind.

A torrent of events flashes before his very eyes in an attempt to get some juicy deets from where this servant came from. Upon fast-forwarding to some events that didn't seem to interest him, The detective stumbles upon something beneficial in his probe on Assassin's manifestation.

[i]it was the sight of a ticking clock and cog works spinning.
A blurred face of a woman carrying a briefcase and smoking apparatus in the other.
A summoning circle.
A hotel room filled with smoke somewhat similar to a rural setting.
Assassin talking to his master(?).[/i]

It's a vague memory etched in his mind, with their identities still intact but that's all he has to work with for now.

Alas, There's no way that he could react, nor dodge that attack at that speed.

And yet he lives with the intervention of another servant and the ludicrous enchanted speed of his Partner, Momotaro. Lunging forward by Caster's magic with the utmost precision to aid the vulnerable masters.

I guess math and physics really do save lives.

[color=00aeef]"It appears i'm not dead, hah! Bloody good show partner! and that heroic landing, mwah...brilliant!" [/color] the Detective can't believe it either. He applauds and steps back behind Saber, heeding his advice, knowing there was an assassination attempt on his dear life.
