[RL with Jack and Ianto (and possibly Mitsuru?)]
The instruments from the Kirijo Group were wonderful things, but unfortunately they hadn't answered any real questions. The night before, all four members of Torchwood and Mitsuru had stayed up until midnight, but the hour had come and went without any Dark Hour manifesting.
Akihiko would have breathed a sigh of relief, but the instruments did detect the presence of shadows in roughly the same area the Torchwood computers had calculated, triangulating from the locations of the attacks. While Mitsuru and Gwen remained back at the Hub to monitor the instruments, Ianto, Jack and Akihiko headed out in the truck to try to find some shadows.
Unfortunately it was almost dawn, none of them had slept all night, and they still had no idea where the shadows might be. They certainly hadn't been attacked.
Akihiko slumped in the back seat, his nose pressed to the window, as they circled yet another block. The worst part was, if the shadows were inside a building - which they often were - they would need Fuuka to find them. And they didn't have Fuuka right now.
"Hey," Akihiko said suddenly. "What about that building?" He pointed to a house on the corner. It looked like it had been subject to an earthquake, a crack running right up the front of the building and the roof half-caved in. "Isn't that a bit weird?"
