It was a good thing that Yohji's hands were empty when the image of Asuka came on the screen. It was an even better thing that the shop had just closed for the day, so Yohji wouldn't have to explain why he went tearing off like that.
Of course, twenty minutes later, he came tearing back in because he didn't know where he needed to go.
He'd gotten lazy letting Omi take care of the research, so it took him a little to find where she was taken.
He waved off his teammates questions and went tearing off again, but this time with a destination in mind.
Asuka arrives at Magic Bus hospital in the company of a police escort. She is combative with medical personnel who try to examine her and placed in restraints. They don't want to sedate her until they find out what other drugs are in her system.
((These events take place before the Fujimiya family is destroyed, so Aya-chan is not at the hospital.))
Yohji arrives at the hospital not thinking much more than "She might be alive!" Because this could all be a cruel trick of someone else's genetics. He's got enough sense to check the emergency room first, but he's really not thinking clearly at all.

::Yohji arrives at Asuka's apartment carrying a 6-pack of beer because it's only polite to bring beer when you're showing up unannounced at a friend's place. He knocks on the front door with his free hand.::
::No answer. She must be out. But, wait, he can hear music coming from inside. He knocks again.::
::Still no answer. Yohji frowns. It's not like Asuka to leave the radio on while she's not at home. He tries to open the door, but it's locked.::
::The music stops momentarily, then the very same song starts over again. A knot of fear forms in the pit of Yohji's stomach.::
::Paranoid, Kudoh. You're being paranoid. This doesn't stop him from pulling his lock-picking kit out of his coat. Asuka's so going to kick my ass when she finds out I broke into her apartment.::Yohji's breath catches in his throat when he sees the state of the apartment. His eyes linger on the splatters of blood and some part of his brain points out that there's not nearly enough for anyone to have bled to death, so, really, he should stop just standing there

With that sort of panic, Nagi would know who was at his door whether he wanted to or not. The door swings open, and he glares from across the room, his lingering hangover not making for a happy Nagi.
"What? Are your soap operas starting or something? I said you could use my TV, but I didn't think you were this hard-up to do it."

Nagi heads for his computer room before Yohji even finishes talking. "You don't have time for all of it."
Nagi grabs three print outs. "This is PINpoint coordinants specifically for that world. This is the lab blueprints. This is the plan we made assuming that they didn't know about the portal." Nagi wants that laptop, this knife, this gun will do, these wires might be helpful...
Nagi looks at Yohji. "Do we risk using the the portal since they seem to know about it?"
Nagi reinforces his mental shields as much as he can and heads for the hospital. He doesn't do cute and innocent all that well, but he can do small and upset well enough to get past the cops who are still trying to keep the reporters away.
Nagi jumps a little at being touched, but manages to look really worried. Which isn't all that hard, actually. She didn't look good in that clip. "I- I'm looking for my cousin. Murase Asuka-san. I saw on the news, and I was really worried." Nagi plays up the looking far too young as much as he can.
"I'm sorry," the pretty nurse tells him and she seems to mean it. "We only allow immediate family to visit patients and her brother is with her already." And even he wouldn't have been allowed if the patient didn't become more mellow as soon as he entered the room.

Asuka's gone. Someone took her. Destroyed her apartment. I need all the information you've got on her world and on Masafumi.
