Chief Masamoto wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, urgency tightening the air as Detective Yamashiro reported breathlessly.
"Chief Masamoto, we have him cornered... Huff huff."
"What?... Where? Where is he?" Chief Masamoto demanded, his eyes narrowing.
"Huff huff⌠He's on 52nd Street," Yamashiro managed to utter between breaths.
"Really? That's just two streets from here. Come on, let's go!" Chief Masamoto urged, a fire in his eyes.
"Huff huff⌠Okay," Yamashiro struggled to regain composure.
"Constable Suzuki, get me a cruiser now, and hurry up, Detective Yamashiro," Chief Masamoto commanded with authority.
"Yes, Chief," Constable Suzuki acknowledged, swiftly moving into action.
-10 Minutes Later-
"Okay, Detective Yamashiro, give me an update on the situation," Chief Masamoto requested, his demeanor focused yet tense.
"Yes, sir. He's holed up in an apartment on the 15th story. We've evacuated all the civilians in the building. As for the murders, the basement is a gruesome sight, filled with human remains. Further investigation revealed that the sand in the concrete of the foundation is composed of crushed human bones, and the water used for concrete was diluted blood. The officers on the scene were visibly shaken; they estimate he killed 400 to 500 people. But Chief, that's not all regarding your missing wife and daughters."
"What... What's wrong? What happened to my wife and kids?" Chief Masamoto's voice cracked, a mixture of fear and desperation.
"Well, you're not going to like th-"
"Just spit it out, Detective Yamahiro!" Chief Masamoto's impatience escalated.
"He pinned them to a cross, replicating a gruesome scene, subjecting them to unspeakable acts until they died. One of your daughters survived, but she bears severe permanent mental damage. The S.W.A.T. team is outside his apartment and ready to strike on your word."
"I'll kill him... I'LL KILL HIM. Get the S.W.A.T. team ready; I'm going in with them," Chief Masamoto declared, a burning rage in his eyes.
"Chief... No," Yamashiro pleaded, sensing the brewing storm within Masamoto.
"It's too late... Detective Yamahiro... That bastard touched my family."
"Chief... No, Yujiroma, you need to think this over. He's a wanted killer in over 150 countries, and the U.S. has declared him public enemy number one. He can and will kill you if he wants."
"Look here, Detective... He messed with my family, and that's that."
"But Chief, think about all the other fam-"
"Forget the other families; mine was raped and killed."
"But, sir..."
"I'm sorry, Suzuki... I have to. (for revenge)"
