About That Deed (Jin Takanawa)

[Valencia Donahue]

((OOC: Continued from “Creating a Scene”. If this post is sloppy, some compromises had to be made. I hope you don't mind the minor control, as there's very little to do anyhow.))

This young man who being led to the nurse's office by Jin Takanawa is Rick Morris. The last time we saw this beaten-to-a-pulp student, he was saved by Principal Victoria Alexander from the likes of an enraged Valencia Donahue. After all, he was being beaten within an inch of his life for filching Valencia's student and medical records. Upon Alexander's suggestion, Jin was given the responsibility to look over Rick until he was in better health. However, while the present and the future may be in the process of sorting out... No one really asked for Rick's opinion as he got kicked, slapped, choked, ordered, and dragged around. For all everyone knew, he had some interesting information he was willing to share after the fear and torment loosened him up.

Rick sat in the chair as a nurse and her assistants went through all the paperwork. He was quivering like a leaf and his eyes darted all over the room... Specifically at the clock, his medical records being updated, the exit, and Jin, who's supposed to keep an eye on him. Whenever he thought no one was looking at him, he made a motion as though to make a run for it, but sat down noisily with each failed attempt. He whimpered a few times and curled up into a ball on his seat, almost dreading the thought of being told to lay down in bed for a proper check up. If the other patients in the room didn't know better, they would've compared him to another raggedy-looking individual who flinched at every noise within his vicinity... A more suspicious one.

(ooc:Don't worry about it, just tell me if you don't like my first post.)

It had been a while now since Jin was tasked with looking after the student that was nearly killed a short time ago and now he was bored out of his mind in the nurses room.

Was it really worth it Jin thought.
Well, suppose it beats detentions not that he would go to any.

Screw it, Jin was gonna find that girl and ask her what the hell was wrong with her but where was she, probably getting secretly commended by that principal and interrupting probably wouldn't be a good idea.

So he decided he would wait, if he was lucky the girl may even come here and pretend to be sorry so it looked like she actually cared.

[Valencia Donahue]

((OOC: Pretty short, but whatcha gonna do?))

Rick rocked back and forth until he fell out of his seat. The nurse taking care of his paperwork just about had it and yelled at him. The boy flinched and scrambled to stay put, still glancing at the clock, his paperwork, the exit, and Jin. He was about to get up on more time to make a break for the exit until the nurse grabbed him and dragged him to a bed, cursing beneath her breath. Rick was definitely less than pleased, judging by how he fought her grip...

[RICK]: “NOOO!! DO NOT WANT!! LET ME GOOO!! SISTER DYING!!”

...But of course, all this nonsense about refusing hospitality and sisters dying fell on deaf ears as the nurse and her assistants tied him down to the bed. To them, Rick wasn't much different from any other student who lost their minds after trauma. On the other hand, Rick kept struggling and wriggling about even then, complete with a few more desperate cries tossed in for good measure, as he just wanted to get out of here ASAP.

[Jin Takanawa]

The boy was struggling so much to get out of the room saying something about his sister dying and upon hearing this Jin said to the nurses.

"Hey wait let him go."

He then grabbed the student and asked him,

"Could you just calm down for a second and tell us what the hell is wrong?"

Jin then set the student down on a seat waiting his response.

[Valencia Donahue]

The nurse lifted a brow at Jin's request, then looked at the wibbling Rick on the bed. As a stubborn nurse who's rather tired of taking care of every student that gets dragged into her office, she wasn't going to stray from her regular procedures if they'll get things over with faster.

[NURSE]: “You may talk with him and if he calms down enough for us to give him some care, we'll let him go.”

With that, she and a few assistants headed back to the main office while one was left at the doorway to make sure that Rick didn't try biting off an arm to escape like a coyote would. It didn't really sink in that Rick was too horrified to do much aside from whining and not making sense.

[RICK]: “Sister gone... Blackmail... Nails on table... Bring data or she... D-d-d...”

Rick began to quiver and turn extremely pale as he remembered the sight of his older sister's removed painted nails on the table when he came home from school one day. If that's what they do just to blackmail, who knew what they did if he can't keep his end... He started crying.

[Jin Takanawa]

The nurses left the room which gave Jin some time to figure out whats going on.
He slapped the student lightly a couple of times in the face to get his attention and said to the stuttering and shaking student,

"Hey come on give me some eye contact here and listen to me!"

"Now first of all whats your name and second, whats the problem if you tell me I might be able to help you out."

[Valencia Donahue]

Rick winced and squirmed each time Jin slapped him, no matter how lightly it was done, and that made it all the more difficult for him to regain his composure (if he ever had one). Nonetheless, he managed to face Jin in spite of the tears he was squeezing out of his eyes. He was trying really hard to stay calm, yet it can't be ignored that he felt like each minute was a minute closure to the death of his older sister.

[RICK]: “R-Rick... You can't do it... If I don't bring data on at least one person... It was right there in the library! They'll... Whatever's left of her... My sister is going to...”

Not like Jin or Rick realized it then and there, but it was one mess where there'll be at least one person who'll get screwed over. Giving away the data to this mysterious party guaranteed the potential death of the person whose information was being given away. Failing to meet the relatively simple conditions mentioned on the ransom note will ensure the death of Rick's sister. Most people would call the cops to handle this sticky situation, but...

[RICK]: “I tried really really hard... The more I tried, the stakes got higher... The pictures... They just wanted data and I messed up even at that!”

[Jin Takanawa]

Well at least he calmed him down a little bit to get audible words out him, though this sounded it like this was going to go deeper than Jin thought but Jin still needed more on this data the student was talking about.

"What data, what pictures, on who, whats gonna happen come on talk to me I can help you. "

Whether Jin really knew if he could help or not he didn't know but he had to do something as things were probably going to soon get ugly.

[Valencia Donahue]

((OOC: Pardon my tardiness. Even college classes can eat up summer “break” time...))

Rick sniffled for a few minutes and was reluctant to tell Jin, this complete stranger, about the ominous situation hanging about them. On the other hand, he was desperate and had no one else to turn to. Desperation enables people to do crazy things. This was proven by how resilient he was to Valencia's rage.

[RICK]: “Medical data... Any kind on anyone... Preferably students... I didn't know that lady wasn't a student! The papers were right there...!”

...Next to medical insurance papers Valencia was tending to, as while insurance for stunt people are great, they still need to be looked over. She was packing up those papers and planned to give them to Rosemary later and out of the blue, Rick swiped the last few papers right before her eyes.

[RICK]: “It was my last chance... I couldn't find any papers for a long time and each time I was... Late... They'd send pictures of the things they're doing... To my older sister... They're tearing her apart... THEY'RE SCALPING HER!!”

Not that Rick realized this, but he's been terribly late for a really, really long time now and any effort made will ultimately be futile. They'll return his sister barely alive if Rick is lucky.

[RICK]: “You can't do anything... Unless I find another person's data--”

It was here that he looked across from the bed he's tied to and saw something he really shouldn't have: His own medical data that an assistant left behind on the counter.

[Jin Takanawa]

(ooc:Hey no worries.)

Jin was disgusted at the things people were doing to this guys older sister.

And about this medical data, Jin couldn't give him his own who knows what they would use it for and besides there wasn't any thing special on it any way.

He could see why the girl was angry at the guy but her reaction was pretty psychotic.

He noticed the student looking over somewhere.

"What is it?"

Jin undid the belts that kept him on the bed but was ready to grab him in case he tried to escape.

[Valencia Donahue]

((OOC: I apologize for the reeeaaallyy long wait... On top of spontaneous family trips, I'm also busy with college and my own aspirations...))

Rick slid off of the bed with his eyes transfixed on his medical data on the counter. He didn't respond when Jin asked him what he was looking at—It was painfully obvious that this student was willing to give away this information without thinking about the fatal consequences. Neither of them should be aware that Rick will be unknowingly sacrificing his own life for the chance to see his sister still breathing. He picked up the folder with his trembling fingers and stared at its contents for a few minutes. He cautiously looked at Jin, unsure of what will happen if he made a run for it. Scared but potentially courageous beneath his desperation, Rick made his way back to the bed and sat down on one side. He hugged the folder tightly as though it was his only lifeline... In more ways than one.

A very sharp mind should be able to save everyone's lives with a single action if there is still hope. Otherwise, fate will stay its course and lives will be lost. This is the last chance.

[Jin Takanawa]

(ooc:Don't worry about it its fine)

Well at least he didn't try to run, Jin thought.

The student sat on the bed cradling tightly what looked like some kind of file, Jin didn't know what on but it looked important to the guy.

"Is this the data you where talking about, why do these people want it?"

[Valencia Donahue]

Rick barely moved as he held onto the file even tighter and stared absently at the floor. At this point, there's nothing that can be done to change his mind. To do anything else would be futile in prolonging the inevitable.

[RICK]: “It's my data. I d-don't know... Why... They want... But I know that they aren't picky...”

((OOC: There's really nothing left to do Jin, so unless you have something in mind, feel free to wrap things up.))

[Jin Takanawa]

Looks like this guys mind is made up and he isn't going to back down.

"So your take this to them without any idea thats going to happen to you, well your either extremely brave or extremely stupid but either way good luck just remember if you need any help I'll be here I just hope you you know what your doing."

It looked like there wasn't anything Jin could here so he wouldn't get involved unless the student wanted him to.
