Alex scoffed/laughed, and nodded. He turned on the CD player, and played OneX by Three Days Grace, and played Riot. "You know these guys?" He asked.

(look up the song)

"No. But what I'm hearing is pretty good." Zach answered.

(No need to. After everyone freaked out because I wasn't familiar with 'em, I figured I'd listen to their songs to see what the hubbub was about.)

Alex mouthed the lyrics for a while until they parked in the precinct garage. Alex stepped out, looking around.

Zach stepped out as well and finally spat out his gum, sticking a cigarette in his mouth immediately after. "Well, that wasn't bad for a first day, eh?" he asked.

Alex nodded, walking into the elevator. He looked at Zach. "How long do you really think you can keep this up, Zach." He asked, looking at him like he was an idiot.

Zach smirked at Alex saying that. "Bout fucking time you said something." he told him. "And I plan on keeping this up until I get enough courage to tell Allison upfront. I feel if I'm the one hiding my identity from her, I'll be the one to reveal it to her." he added, pulling off his glasses and tossing them to the floor. "But knowing you, you're still hell-bent on seeing me dead and buried, so that big reveal probably won't happen by my own power. So here..." Zach pulled his gun out and unloaded it, putting it away again. "...free shot." and then he just stood there, hands in his pockets and not even so much as a slight frown on his face.

Alex scoffed. "Yeah, no, I wanna see the look on Ali's face when she finds out before she plugs you for good." He said, crossing his arms.

"There's no guarantee she'll try to kill me. Okay, 95.9% chance she'll try." Zach rebutted. "But hey, seeing as how there's no time like the present, let's set up a meeting. I'll let you call her, seeing as how I tossed my old phone."

Alex shook his head. "She's on the virge of figuring it out. I'll let her." He said simply.

"Ah, you're no fun." Zach yawned and stepped out of the elevator. Suddenly, one of the other detectives walked up to him. "Ryuzaki, you got a call. Better head to your desk and take it. The chick on the other end doesn't sound like the patient type." he informed him. "Speak of the devil..." Zach grumbled to himself, shooting a look at Alex before going to his desk and picking up the phone.

"Detective Ryuzaki. May I ask who's calling?" "Parker. Allison." "Oh, Kazema's girlfriend! What's the emergency?" "Oh, nothing requiring a detective." "Oh?" "Although I do need to meet with you. Alone." "That so? Why?" "I'd rather not say. Meet me at the bar near the station. 10 minutes." then there was a tone, indicating that Allison had hung up. Zach sighed and put the phone down, walking back to the elevator. "Well, Kazema. Guess who found out?"

Alex scoffed. Recon mode time.

Zach grumbled multiple swears under his breath as he took the elevator to the ground floor and left the building, heading towards the bar. When he reached the alleyway next to said bar, he was yanked into it by the collar. He turned around to find the barrel of a Type 17 pointed at his face. "Alright, 'Matsuda.' I'm done with this bullshit. Who are you? Really?" Allison asked in a demanding tone. Zach took a deep breath and simply asked, "Got any water on you?"

Alex was flying high up in the air, but high enough to where his raptor vision can see them clearly. If the worst happens, he'll have to intervene again.

Allison tossed Zach a water bottle, keeping her gun pointed squarely at his forehead as she did this. Zach coughed slightly and then poured half of the water in the bottle over his head, which resulted in the dye in his hair being washed out. Allison scoffed. "God, you're predictable..." she muttered as her finger hovered over the trigger of her gun. "Predictable, maybe. But you can understand why I'd lie about who I was. Especially to you." Zach replied, standing there with his back stiff and straight. There was no physical indication he would run, nor if he would fight.

Fang and Max caught up with Alex. "Whats going on?" Max asked. "Matsuda was actually Zach." Fang raised a brow, and Max gasped. "To make things better, Ali's about to throttle him." He said.
