In the medical sector of the island, a massive building with the label Daimon Health Clinic sits in the middle of the sector. Citizens of the island as well as doctors, nurses, and officers can be seen entering and exiting the building. Inside, Yamato is walking through a hallway and heading into a room. When he opens the door, he sees Kiria and a female doctor hovering over Shou Jiro who is resting in a bed.

“Oh? Right on time Yamato.”

“I got here as fast as I could sir.”

Kiria turns to the doctor and points his finger at the her.

“This is the rookie I was assigned. Yamato Fujimura.”

“Oh, so this is the star detective that's all the rave? He's younger than I thought”

“Nice to meet you ma’am.”

“Nice to meet you too. Alright i’ll head out and let you two get to work."

The doctor opens the door and walks away. Kiria pulls out a mini notebook and turns back to Shou preparing to ask him questions as Yamato walks to the bed.

“Alright Mr.Jiro i’m detective Kiria, we have some questions for you. First, what were you doing last night in the back alley of the commons sector?”

Shou looks at Kiria with a hung over expression.

“Mmm uhhh, nothing. I was simply going grocery shopping.”

“Oh? Grocery shopping with two of your buddies and two random girls? Forgive me if that’s hard to believe.”

“They weren't random girls, they were my friends.”

“Right. Two friends who just so happened to be terrified of you.”

“They’re my girlfriends. We just have an unusual way of playing around.”

As Shou’s head clears up he begins to become more and more sarcastic.

“You know how these things go don’t you? Teens in puberty. Just can’t control ourselves.”

“Mr.Jiro you seem to be dangerously unaware of the circumstances you’re in.”

“Uh, and who’re you?”

“Detective Yamato Fujimura sir. Now back to what I was saying. Do you understand the position you’re in?”

Shou looks to the side in an attempt to shrug off the question.

“I figured. Well let me explain the situation. These two girls, while we don’t know their names, have publicly admitted to being assaulted by you. It’s all over the news. The best thing you can do right now is answer our questions.”

As Yamato finishes talking Shou begins to break into a sweat.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

“Pff, ahaha. Oh please, my father is Shoma Jiro. You really think any of what you said matters? We’ve bought out many of your officers, attorney’s, and judges. This will all be swept under the rug in a week.”

Yamato and Kiria look up at each other and then look back down at Shou. Kiria tears a page from the notebook, crumbles it into a ball and throws it in the trash. He then puts his pen to his notebook and prepares to ask some more questions.

“Alright Mr.Jiro, let's fast forward a bit. When you were in the alley with your ‘friends’ you were attacked weren't you?”

Shou begins to break into a panic as he recalls the events that transpired.

“Do you have any clue who attacked you?”

“Mmmmm. T-That person or whatever that was, was a brutal monster. He completely pulverized my men. One of them was incredibly big and muscular but he threw him like a tennis ball.”

“Can you recall what this person was wearing or better yet what his powers are?”

“He had on this black suit. And he had a cape and hood. He also wore this knight like mask and if I remember correctly he had black hair that slightly hung over the mask. As for his powers, I don’t really know. He had incredible strength. I’ve seen earth before users but that wasn’t it. It was like the guy had super strength.”

Yamato and Kiria exchange a pair of concerned looks. Suddenly the door to the room burst open and a man in a gray suit came barging in.

“THAT’S ENOUGH! Shou won’t be saying another word unless I give him permission. Get your dirty paws out of this room.” The man declares.

“And who are you?” Kiria asks.

“I’m the Jiro family lawyer. I don’t know what kind of deceptive tricks you hooligans have used but Shou will no longer be answering questions…Umm, that means leave. LIKE NOW!”

Yamato and Kiria begin to leave the room. As they’re walking out, they look back at Shou to see him smiling at them. They close the door and walk through the hallway.

“That was pretty good back there Yamato. I’m impressed. But, you messed up on one important thing.”

“Hm?”

“You dealt Shou our entire hand right off the bat.”

“I don’t get it. Why was that a bad thing?”

“Well, when it comes to situations like these you don’t want to give the person everything you have. If you held off on all the information we had and left Shou guessing, he’d be more susceptible to tell us everything. He didn’t know what evidence we had on him or how bad the situation was. His dad can only get him out of so many situations. But by telling him everything it allowed him to relax. Now he knows that the information we have most likely won’t be enough to lock him up.”

“I see, I thought I did good. But instead I’m the reason we couldn’t get any more information out of him. Damn it, I got cocky.”

“Don’t stress Yamato. For a rookie that was impressive.”

Yamato and Kiria continue to exit the building.

***

Nightfall once again consumes the island. In the business sector, a group of three men are loading boxes from a warehouse into a truck.

“Hey hurry it up we don’t have all day.” One of the men in the truck declares.

“Hey, give us a break. You know how late it is?”

“Oh what you wanna go and lay in bed with your mommy. Shit I bet you have a sexy mother, I’d wanna lay in bed with her as well AHAHAHAHA.”

“Yeah go to hell man. I hate this shit.”

“Oh cry me a river pussy.”

Yuto in his black suit is standing atop a roof on a taller building next to the warehouse. Yuto taps the side of his mask in the area around his ear.

“Shunji, I'm here. It seems like they’re doing a deal.”

“Tell me everything.”

“There’s a lot of heavily armed men. They’re putting some wooden crates into a cargo truck with the label ‘NH PHARMACEUTICALS’ on the side.”

“‘NH PHARMACEUTICALS’ or New Hope Pharmaceuticals is more than likely a front. And seeing as how this warehouse is run by Shoma Jiro, it must be his front.”

“A pharmaceutical truck in a sketchy warehouse isn’t really the best cover up.”

“I doubt anyone cares. As long as it’s a truck with a label the police will let it pass. They’ve been bought out.”

Yuto looks at the top of the warehouse and sees a glass ceiling in the middle of the brick roof.

“Shunji, I’m gonna take a closer look.”

Yuto climbs down the building he was on and leaps across to the roof of the warehouse. He hovers over the glass and looks at the inside of the warehouse.

“It’s heavily armed as you said it would be.”

As Yuto continues to look around, he sees a person in all black with a black jacket who appears to be ordering the bodyguards around.”

“Shunji, I think I found the power user you were talking about. He’s giving the guards orders and watching the shipments.”

“Yeah that’s probably him. Alright Yuto hit them hard and fast. Keep it short and as quiet as possible. The last thing you want is a huge gunfight that attracts the police.”

“Right.”
