Akechi: Hmph...

Watanabe: That shall do....

(Akechi and Watanabe walk out the room and head downstairs.)

Watanabe: So we don't have a clue where Ishida might be, but knowing we took down the patriarch.

(Akechi arrives home, he sees Watanabe's car parked and him smoking.)

Akechi: ...

(He parks his car, turns it off and exits it.)

(Watanabe notices him.)

Watanabe: All settled?

Akechi: Yeah, Let's go.

(Watanabe flicks away his cigarette, both men get in to his car and drive away.)

[12:10 AM]

[Higashi Wharf, Ishikari]

(They arrive to the destination.)

Watanabe: There he is....

(Ishida is seen watching by the ocean from a bit far away, Watanabe turns off the car. They both exit.)

(They walk to Ishida.)

Ishida: I told you to go alone right? Kei?

Akechi: Tch....

Watanabe: Talk, Ishida!

Ishida: *sigh* Officer Watanabe, I figured you'd be with this man.

(Ishida turns around, facing to the men.)

Ishida: Your never-ending hunt down of Takumi-chan is driving you crazy.

Watanabe: Where is he?!

Ishida: Before we talk the matters. I'd like to address something about you, Kei.

.....or I should say, Akechi.....Akechi Goro

Akechi: !!

Ishida: Never thought that.....the biggest fish in the sea would wind up in a pond like Sapporo.

Akechi: ...shit....

(Akechi clenches his fist.)

Ishida: Well then......What has Takumi have to do with this exactly?

Watanabe: You know he's with the Kaneshiro's, right? We need answers from him.

Ishida: Why come here all the way then?

Watanabe: Don't play dumb, you know where he is.

Ishida: Heh, you're not wrong.....well. He left to Osaka not too long ago, He's dealing with a personal task.

Watanabe: Shit.....

Ishida: Now now, he's gonna come back to Tokyo tomorrow, He may be always moving around....but this is the best possible location I can give for you right now.

That'll be at a small abandoned warehouse in Arakawa Ward.

Watanabe: Arakawa.....got it, Thank you.

Ishida: And I'm wondering, The answers you need from him involved of a missing woman?

Akechi: !?

Watanabe: Yes, I've been told that she's been held captive from the Kaneshiro's

Ishida: Yes....Yes I've heard of it. Takumi told me.

.....but unfortunately........she's dead.

(Akechi's eyes quickly widened as he heard that information.)

Akechi: !!?

Watanabe: What!?

Ishida: Yoshizawa Sumire, right? I'm afraid Takumi-chan offed her.

Akechi: No...NO! You're not bullshitting ME!

Ishida: See for yourself?

(Ishida pulls out a picture from his pocket and hands it over to Akechi.)

(Akechi holds the picture.)

Akechi: ......no.......NO!

(It's a picture of a lifeless Sumire, tied on the chair and drenched in blood.)

(Akechi's eyes rapidly move around as he goes into a state of denial.)

Watanabe: God....damn it!

Akechi: SHIT!

(Akechi walks away in anger and throws the picture to the ground.)

Ishida: One more thing, Takumi told me that The leader of the Phantom Thieves had to assist him for that.

(Akechi quickly faces back to Ishida.)

Akechi: Wh-WHAT!?

Watanabe: Wait.......So what was the video of the fight in Kamurocho?!

Ishida: Oh sure it is still him......let's just say...a given decisive choice got the better of the man.

(Akechi gives off a shocked but rageful expression.)

Watanabe: ......Come on, lets go. We're heading to the station.

(Both the men face away, and walk back to Watanabe's car.)

Akechi: ......

Ishida: Going back to Tokyo?

Watanabe: Yeah......It's time we settle against Matsushige once and for all.

(They both walk back to the car.)

Ishida: Have a..

(Ishida pulls out his pistol.)

Ishida: ....safe trip.

(He points it Watanabe, then pulls the trigger.)

Watanabe: GAH!-

(Watanabe gets shot on the back, He drops to the ground.)

Akechi: WATANABE!

(Ishida points his pistol to Akechi.)

Akechi: !

(Robin Hood dashes out and punches Ishida.)

Ishida: GUH!

(Akechi switches into his Metaverse form, he runs to Ishida.)

Crow: HMMPH!

(Crow brutally punches Ishida, pushing him to the rails.)

Ishida: GHHACK!

Crow: haaaaaAAAAHHH!

(Crow switches into his dark form.)

Dark Crow: *pant* *pant*

(Ishida opens his eyes, he sees the dark suited Crow.)

Ishida: What the hell?

(Ishida quickly stand back up and runs to Crow, he goes for an oncoming punch.)

Ishida: HMMMPH!

(But Crow catches it.)

Ishida: !

Ishida: GAAAAAAA

Dark Crow: HYA!

(Crow punches him, Ishida is pushed away by a bit.)

Dark Crow: Shit...

(Crow grabs him by the collar of his suit, and headbutts him.)

(Ishida drops to the ground, unconscious.)

Dark Crow: *pant*....*pant*

(Crow switches back.)

Akechi: *pant*...!

(Akechi runs back to Watanabe, who's down.)

Akechi: OI! Watanabe!

(Akechi shakes Watanabe, hoping he'd wake up.)

Watanabe: Ugh.......Fuck.

(Akechi let's out a relieved sigh.)

Akechi: I thought I lost you.

Watanabe: Good thing....I had the vest....on, I.....expected shit like this.......would happen.

(Watanabe slowly gets back up.)
