Unseen, his back to Shiki Marcone opened his eyes as he listened to her words, so very tired and worn out as she shared what she went through. Marcones reaction to it all, this unhelpful spiel to anyone seeking out the traitor?
Marcone
smiled.
Everything was falling right into place, one after the other. He turned to politely give her thanks- And then he heard the following.
"Hey you.. Mister Chicago, y'mind holding the door just a crack bit open so I can hold the asshole?" He asked in both a playful and serious manner as he readied himself at the door. "Let's go! I don't have all day!" He yelled into the door to order her to walk forward.
His face showed nothing but mild scrutiny as he assessed the man before smiling politely.
"Certainly. One moment."
And striding to the door, he unlocked the cell from the inside and politely stepped aside, the skeleton key in hand as he circled around to allow the other to enter and ensure he remained in Luz's blind spot.
All so he could do the following as without warning, he slammed his fist into the spinal cord of Luz, using the skeleton key as a shiv to twist and inflict pain before kicking his knee out from behind in the following move, to drive the latter to one knee, all to put him in position to slam his head as hard as the mafia boss could initiate into the bars. A brutal, cold array of moves all calculated as a chess grandmaster as he slowly, hand on the back of the others head if he succeeded in a crushing grip twisted the key in the spine as he spoke coldly.
"You utter and complete moron. Though I suspect it was too much to ask for brains from one in your position. Presumably it entered into a suicide pact with your sense. Take a good, long look at her. Do you
really believe someone like her killed those people of her own free will? Or was even aware of it till now? How many more do you suppose might have followed in her footsteps prior. Two or three? A dozen?"
He turned the key once more in the spine, letting the pain directly jammed into the nerves answer for himself as he said idly.
"Don't answer that. All I need is for you to listen and listen well. This suicidal young lady may very well have done the deed. By her own hands and admission, she might very well be everything she claims to be."
He then looked up, at where Shiki was rolled up as he smirked.
"But shes not a murderer. Not here. Merely a pawn of whoever is thinking to make fools of ALL of us."
He smirked and without regard, slid the skeleton key out and slammed Luz's head against the bars once more for good measure as he rose up and adjusted his tie.
"And I for one, find that highly distasteful. As for you young lady, much as you may long for death? As of now, you prove more valuable alive then dead. For those still trapped here, those who wish to go home and for this gentlemen I just had a little talk with. Had he followed up? I would have killed him myself."
It was a gentlemans way after all as he locked her cell door and smirked.
"Think about it for a bit. And enjoy your meal."
And turning, he strode out and away off to move a few more pieces.
