Moping about (and apparently circulating through the crowd, perhaps trying to get a little fresh air), who should Kid come upon but Virgil Ohso, who doesn't appear to be too happy that the Ambassador isn't dead (even though he hasn't been told one way or another, but it's probably one of those things that you can just tell). What I'm a little confused about, though, is that fact that Kid knows Ohso is the one who bought the Stradivarius seeing as how the two never met. Oh well. It also looks like Tracy isn't the only detective there tonight, as Kid appears to have put two and two together, come up with five, tried again, come up with four, and realized that the exploding Stradivarius had to have been in some way connected to Ohso. Unfortunately, he does appear to be the only detective without a gun. (Maybe someone should think about going to find Tracy before this all ends in tears?)

Before anyone can find the intrepid detective (and before Kid can talk his way out of this predicament), who should arrive but the enraged Phil Harmonic. Forgetting all about the fact that the two are supposed to now be bitter enemies, Son of the Maestro leaps in front of his father, hoping that his bullet-proof scarf will protect them both as Ohso finally takes his shot, much to the shock of those two guys loitering around in the background. We've never seen them before, and I don't know who they are, but the way Ohso's collar hits the man in front makes him look like he came in an evening gown. (I can't help the way my mind works sometimes. I just can't.)

Unfortunately, the motion of moving to block the bullet's path from his father caused the scarf of Son of the Maestro to shift position, hitting the poor kid squarely in the chest (which, unless he's wearing a bullet-proof vest is a very bad place to be hit, what with all of the vital organs there and everything). A split second later, Tracy is on the scene, gun blazing as he pumps Ohso full of lead. (I really hope you didn't have any questions for him, Tracy. I really do.) The Maestro, however, doesn't seem to notice Tracy, as a look of horror crosses his face upon the realization that his son has been shot protecting his life. (Now, we could also say that Phil is horrified that he won't be the one to do his son in, but I'm going to choose to believe that he's actually sad that his precious boy has been shot.)
