Madoka's eyes widen. What was so bad that the police were after her? She suddenly started shaking her head. "What all did she do?" she asked him, starting to see through him a little. "You're not telling me something, are you?" she asked him.

"Not by my own accord, I assure you." He said. "I gambled and lost and now the information is forbidden for me to tell. Including that particular bit. But," He glanced none-too-subtly at a laptop on a desk in the corner of the room. "If you were to look her up in the police records, you'd probably find quite a bit. Siblings typically have the same last names, so it wouldn't be too hard." He wasn't able to tell her directly, but that didn't forbid him from pointing her in the right direction.

Madoka blinked, glancing over at the laptop. She took it and sat it down on her lap. What was she doing? She was curious, yes, but she didn't know what she was getting into. After debating for a long while she finally sighed. "Alright..." she said, still a little scared.
Searching the lastname Megumi wasn't too hard to do. It came up with a few results, but only one that involved a criminal record... She gasped aloud upon reading it, looking back at Aiden as she did so.
"But she's dead..." Madoka faintly insisted. Hotaru Megumi? The gang leader that was caught in that fire?

"So they all think." Aiden said, leaning back. "Not sure how she escaped it, but she's out and about now." It was easy to tell he held a special place of hate in his mind for that particular person. Practically equivalent with Tekka's own spot.
He wasn't sure why he had been so insistent for Madoka to know. It hadn't quite been that he wanted another ally, there was something slightly different. It could have been anyone and not just Madoka, he was pretty sure of that, there had just been a willing mind and an available computer here. But he wasn't in the mood to analyze and rationalize right then. He was just going to chalk it up to a gut feeling.

Madoka sat shocked for a few moments. There was someone like that living in the city, just walking around freely? That was just ridiculous! Then another thought came into her head... one that actually made her mad. Not the frustrated, cute irritated kind of mad, but the real kind. Pure rage and hatred.
"I had to watch someone like her murder my dad..." she trailed off, obviously trying to hold back some anger she wasn't too use to. She looked at Aiden straight in the eyes, rage apparent in her clear eyes. "You know all this and you haven't called the police!?" she nearly screamed.

"I can't." He responded simply. "She's got a good hold over my brother, and considering that she doesn't seem to care what happens to a few of her remaining loyal subordinates I'm not sure what she might do to him if I were to interfere." His fist tightened as he spoke.
This was Aiden's take on the situation he found himself in. The only option that he could think of would be to kill Hotaru. If it meant keeping his beloved brother safe from harm, he'd do it, make no mistake. "Believe me, I would turn her in if I could." Especially now. By this point, he wasn't quite sure if everything was happening correctly, and he could feel his control over the situations he was in slipping as time wore on.

Madoka stayed silent for a moment, still trying to take it all in. "Look, the police believed that the one responsible for killing my father was a member of her gang." she stated angrily. "I'll do anything to get back at her for it, please tell me there's something I can do!" she practically pleaded. Madoka wasn't normally one for revenge, but on a scale this huge... there was no telling, really.

Aiden looked at Madoka seriously for a moment. "I'm not sure," He said. "At least, not yet. You can certainly help, but at the moment I'm not sure exactly how to make that happen." He hadn't had enough sleep to figure out a good plan just yet. "Right now though, you focus on getting better, try and weasel information out of Matsuda and... Keis, was it?"

She nodded. "Keisko, yeah." she confirmed. "... But what if I can't get any other info? Don't you know all you need anyway?" she asked curiously. What else could Aiden have to know to stop Hotaru anyway?

"Her address for one." Aiden noted that that probably sounded creepy and decided to elaborate. "If I'm not sure where she lives, I can't exactly be sure as to how to catch her. Aside from that, you, Madoka, will have to be my arms in this one. I can't contact the police, or anyone for that matter. You can." Simply going to the Tora HQ wouldn't work, he had no access there.

Madoka nodded. "Got'cha." she said. "But, what if--" she was cut off by the door opening. A tall, blond male stepped into the room, his hair messy and he obviously hadn't had the chance the shave that morning.
"Madoka!" Matsuda said, worry apparent in his tone. "Keisko wanted me to check up on you." he caught a glare on the youngest Ookami and looked at her, puzzled. She had never glared at anyone before as far as he knew.
Though when he turned to the side, he saw why. Aiden... This would NOT be good. "What're you doing here?" he asked his slightly younger clan mate, glaring at him the way Madoka had just glared at him.

Aiden leveled his own glare at the blond. "I'm talking to the girl who's life I saved." He responded coolly, gaze unwavering. He had a feeling that Matsuda would try and get Madoka alone, and that might actually work in his favor. He had to stay on his guard.

Matsuda broke the glare for a moment. "Saved?" he asked, looking at Madoka again. "What happened?" he asked her.
The girl shook her head, curling into a ball as she spoke. "None of your business." she threw at him in reply. "You can go now, tell Keisko I'm fine now thanks to Aiden."
The blonde of the group looked at Madoka, a little hurt from her response. "Aiden," he started, turning back to him. "Tell me what happened. Now." He did have some form of power over Aiden after all, he was an older member of the clans. And while most people feared Aiden, there was just about as many that respected Mastuda.

Hmm, problematic. On the one hand, he could tell and possibly betray Madoka's trust. On the other, disobeying older clanmembers could come back and bite him in the ass soon. Strangely enough, Aiden wasn't sure if it would do anything. The weird feeling of foreboding was coming more frequently. For a split second Aiden had a very sure thought, almost concrete. He was going to die soon. He didn't know how or when or why, but everything that made him who he was would be wiped off the face of the planet. He didn't know how he knew it, but he did.
Coming back to reality after what seemed to have been about a minute of him zoning, Aiden looked up at Matsuda. "Yeah, see, there's this thing called doctor-patient confidentiality. And I'm pretty sure the same thing applies to guests too." He gave a shrug. "Sorry 'Suda, can't tell you anything unless she gives the go-ahead." He gestured to Madoka, keeping close to the brunette lest she wind up lashing out or lapsing into another moment of... whatever had inspired the hug. He wasn't entirely sure.

Matsuda let out a small growl and tried to calm down. He did not trust Aiden, not at all. And to think that now he's gotten to the closest thing his girlfriend had to family, that just pissed him off even more.
Madoka looked up from the ball she was in for a moment, only tugging at Aiden's arm as a sort of comfort while still glaring at Mastuda. Well, that was obviously all the blond needed to see to get what she was saying.
"Fine, fine." he said, raising his arms. "I won't push any further, but I'm still staying in here." he said, leaning against the wall on the opposite side of the room from Aiden. He did not wanna leave Madoka alone with that monster for even a small second.
