Tsukasa Heizo had been quite surprised at first, to receive a call from his superior on his cell phone rather than his landline; especially since both men were working today. The young man could very well have been looking to see him face to face.
"What can I do for you?" Chief Tsukasa asked politely.
It was a reflex he had acquired during all the years he had worked in the Natural Disaster Department, during which the Directors had come and gone in quick succession without ever really sticking around or getting involved. So Heizo was willing to bet that his new supervisor was going to ask him to do something totally unrealistic.
However, Director Utagawa had quickly explained that he was out of the office and needed information from him, and that only he could provide it.
That was a pretty reasonable request.
