[brings the car to a screeching halt, cranking the wheel to the side, the Cortina sliding through the streets and coming to stop on the sidewalk, trashcans clattering to the ground around it, a lid or two rolling into the road. which Gene also runs into moments, later, spitting curses as he gives his car a quick once-over, then dashes toward the building on which Agito should still be laying. he gives the Master only one quick look, as if you say 'Either follow me or lose out.' he gives no thought to teleporting again]

[the Master reads that look quickly enough and he's out of the Cortina - it disappears from his sight but for now its no loss. Gene could shove him into it after, again

he could teleport them both, but at the moment, there's the adrenaline, a rush, and he's dashing right behind Gene until he's caught up. he sees stone and a rock face, but he guesses that whatever Gene takes as a path will be a semi-climbable incline

oh, this is turning out to be a very fun time]

[Passing out had been a blessing but it didn't last long, when Agito woke up again and felt the horrible pain going through his body he used the little strength he had left to push himself up just enough to look at where it hurt most. And there was his leg, bend at an angle he was quite sure it had never done before, he almost passed out again only from seeing it.]

F-Fuck...

[At least he had the pleasure of knowing Gene and the Master had fallen to their dea- Wait, fuck, was that them running on top of the roof now?]

...FUUUUUCK! [DX]

[busts through the door on the roof, gun ready, long coat whipping in the wind, and spots Agito lying in a heap not too far away, legs obviously broken. the Guv smirks, because it's as much as the damn gook deserved, and begins striding over, stopping a handful of steps away to look down smugly on the little bastard who had the nerve to dent his car. and, well...you know. possibly set him up with the Master. but Cortina > Master, at this point]

Let's see you skate away now, you pansy ass ponce.

[and the Master strides up behind Gene - though he is less the dramatic figure with entrance, and more of a skulking, stalking, predatory type one. a massive contrast in that alone

he stands a breadth of Gene, smiling politely and purring in a steady, content manner]

You should really choose better enemies, prat.

[Agito spits in their general direction, not that he can do much else other than lay there, pushed up on the elbow that doesn't hurt. See, this is the point where someone like Ikki should show up and save him, but nooo, apparently not today!]

F-Fuck, y-you... You fucking cheated! It wasn't like I fucking ran you over with a fucking car!

[He tries to push himself up again to get away from these two, but screams out in pain instead and lets himself fall on his back.]

[completely and irreverently steps on Agito's back, grinding his boot heel in, because Gene is an ass and happy for it. nevermind that Agito's a kid, the bloody git deserves it] I wouldn't go around sayin' the Gene Genie cheated, there, luv. Not when you're in as much shit as you are. [taps him with his boot, then crouches down to look at the other at eye level] So how'd you do it, you bloody gook? How'd you get into my house?

[he's tempted to seize control of the entire thing and just snap Agito's neck, but he shoves the urge down, keeps himself in control despite the fact he can smell Agito's blood, hear his heart beat]

Not to mention, set us up?

[he keeps his voice even, though there is the hint of a growl to it - for now, he'll let Gene play king of the jungle; but should anything turn south...]

[He glares at him, there's no reason anymore to deny it was him.]

Your house? You were in a hotel room, not your house. Fuck. It wasn't very hard, at least I traded those jewels in for something, you're all stupid for letting those creepy twins use you for free!

[He laughs then, though it sounds pained, and smirks at Gene.] Wait, was it that your wife kicked you out? That you have to live in a hotel? Couldn't live with a pig like you anymore could she?

[Eye level, hmm? Catch some Agito spit in your face then, Gene, it even has some blood in it.]

[wrong move, Agito. Gene does have a gun, after all, and he uses it to smash you in the face. have a broken nose and some lost teeth! then he grabs you by the shirt and drags you close, nose to nose] Don't you ever spit in my face again, you lousy piece of shit. You think you're something? [another punch] You're garbage, you bloody gook. You're nothing. And if you so much as think about my wife again, my foot will be so far up your arse you'll be shitting my boot soles for years. Now answer the bloody question.

[the Master rolls his eyes]

Mr. Hunt was dead for a period of that time, and I most certainly did not work for free.

[he then switches the subject and directs his speech to Gene]

You've an idea of what to do if he doesn't speak, yes?

[He flew back, at least the pain of these new injuries were sort of covered up by the ones he already had? Not really, still hurt like a fucking bitch. He spat again, not on Gene this time though but he had to get the damn blood out of his mouth.]

Yo- Fu- Ugh. [Hard to speak after taking a hit like that.] You fu- fug-... [Oh well, just have a bloody middle finger, both of you, while he recovers for a moment.]

GODDAMN FAGGOTS IF ANYTHING YOU SHOULD BEAT THOSE FUCKING TWINS UP. [...uuuuugh. He'd also say something about the wife, but he kind of doesn't want to die because that would mean Akito would as well and he couldn't let that one happen.]

[oooh, the Twins. Gene has several things he'd like to say to the Twins, as a matter of fact. but in the meantime] What the hell did they do? You little shit, you made a deal with them, didn't you? You Goddamn faer -- and what the hell do faggots have to do with anything? You're bloody daft, you gook.

[the Master idly answers one of those questions]

'90s and '00s slang for 'homosexual', Mr. Hunt. Past your time.

[the Master stalks away for a moment, and then back; but he is listening very carefully, taking in whatever has been said, talk of deals and all]

[Doesn't bother to try and move right now.]

Daft? Me?? You don't even know what a faggot is and you are one! And yes, I made a deal with them slowpoke, the jewels they wanted in exchange for setting up a little scene, but you two obviously can't handle a joke!

~~[Pretend he is speaking with a little trouble there.]~~

...

[no one, but no one, calls Gene Hunt a faerie, let alone with some sort of ridiculous slang that doesn't make any sense. and to say so in the same breath as admitting to having the Twins -- THE TWINS -- help set him and the Master up? well fuck that] Joke? Right. I'll show you a joke.

[and he grabs Agito and drags him over to the edge of the building, hoisting him up and holding him over the edge] You like making deals, you little shit? Well, let's see you make a deal out of this one. Or aren't you laughing?

[and this is what the Master has been waiting for. he slides forward, still enough space between them so that it isn't suspicious or so Gene wouldn't go GET AWAY YOU BLOODY FAERIE]

Drop him, Mr. Hunt. Let him fall... one less problem for you, after all, if it happens. No one can connect it to you either...

[he's taken on a sort of hypnotic/suggestive tone, pushing just so to get Gene to release Agito and let him fall to the ground below]

[DON'T PICK UP THE POOR BROKEN BOY, THAT HURTS! D: And now he's dangling there, he's always had a thing for living on the edge but this is just ridiculous! He grabs for Gene's arm with his one good one and holds on as tight as he can manage, with his legs broken he won't be able to break the fall with his AT so falling down now would mean bye bye Agito.]

N-No! Fuck! Don't you dare! If you drop me you're killing Akito too and I won't let you do that! Don't you fucking dare do that to him, you fag- ...fa-fair man! Do what's right! Don't kill him!

...you Goddamn piece of shit. What makes you think you deserve any mercy? [oh Master, your hypnotic voice seems to be working, though Gene is obviously struggling with this, since, well...he's a copper. coppers don't drop people off roofs, no matter how big an annoyance. and he doesn't know who this Akito person is, but the Guv isn't one to hurt innocents if there's no reason for it. and yet...the Master's words are very, very tempting] ...shit. Shit.

[he only applies more of that tone, slightly increasing it with each word, each syllable, each letter]

Go on, Gene Genie. No one can see him. No one will ever know you did a thing. He'll never set you up again. Never break into your house again. All you have to do is...

[he makes the next two words full force, powerful and driving - yet still not an order, instead, more like the most logical and reasonable course of action possible]

...let go.

[He glares at the Master, fucking bitch! But then looks at Gene, trying the puppy look even if he completely fails at it compared to Akito. ...He's so going to kick himself for begging later.]

Don't! Don't listen to him! You hate him so why would you listen to him?! You got your revenge, put me down now! ...On the roof!!

I don't bloody well hate him, you div! [frowns, something nagging at the back of his mind, but the Master's words are soothing, they make sense, and he can feel his grip loosening on the boy's shirt. after all, the bastard deserves it, right? he's been nothing but a nuisance, harassing the people in the city, meddling in business that doesn't concern him. he's a liar, manipulator...he's scum and the Guv makes sure scum are off the streets. that's all he's doing, he's just cleaning up. and when you're doing cleaning up a mess, you wipe your hands of it.

and so gene does. agito's shirt slips from Gene's fingers as the Guv pulls them away, dusting them off like he would after throwing away the trash, and he turns away, strangely numb]

[the Master grins pleasantly at Gene]

Wonderful job, Mr. Hunt.

[he politely gestures behind them, to where they came from - ignoring any sounds that might've come from Agito]

Shall we take our leave?

[He couldn't bring out a word when he felt Gene's grip slip, he glanced one last look in Gene's eyes and couldn't believe he would be the last person he'd see. And then, he fell.

He had taken hundreds, no, thousands of jumps in his life, even of buildings higher than this one but this was the first time he was truly scared.

The ground came closer.

...He closed his eyes.

And closer.

...said sorry to Akito.

Closer.

... ]

...yeah. Let's go. I'll take you home. [doesn't realise what's actually happened, still trapped in the Master's spell, for all intents and purposes. if he knew what he'd just done, he'd be trying to toss the Master off with Agito]
