Mr.Nakayama and Mr.Miyuki drove around Ginza and saw nearly hundreds of police cars all over the place. Every corner had a paramedics team rolling someone or a set of people out. Mr.Nakayama and Mr.Miyuki stopped outside of a noodle restaurant, to which also had forensics and paramedics there.
"My god, do you-"
"Yea, no doubt about it. Its him." Mr.Nakayama said as he walked along the scene, thats when a officer would run over to him.
"Sir! You're going to want to see this." Said an officer that lead Mr.Nakayama and Miyuki into the restaurant.
All the way across Ginza, Kibe was sitting at a park bench. His hands holding a petal of grass.
"Mr.Nakayama, so you've received my message or better to say...
The message of the Trickster." Kibe said as Mr.Nakayama and Mr.Miyuki walked into the bathroom of the restaurant and would find a large written symbol of a king chess piece, it was on bathroom mirror. Mr.Miyuki looked at it puzzled.
Mr.Nakayama just stared at it and then turned to the officer.
"Report." He said
"Other officers and forensics are showing the same thing. Its the trickster, he wants us to know its him.
Every place is showing the same symbol." Said the officer
"Its him Nakayama, he wants us to see this, but why?" Mr.Miyuki asked
"...Its a diversion, to take our sights away from any other places of interest. Officer! Tell all men on duty in Ginza to go and search any remote or deserted areas.
The trickster is plotting here and he wants to take our attention away from whatever it is." Mr.Nakayama said
Kibe was breaking a nut as he then fed it to the squirrels.
"You're ability to overthink and anticipate the actions of others will be what leads you from me. You will be driven to pursue the most obvious goal, you've gotten pushback haven't you?
From your peers, you've avoided kidnappings, thefts, murders and even those you feel resemble the one you hate the most. All in an attempt to catch the white rabbit. In doing so, you've shown people your willing to go out on anything to pursue a case that everyone deems. Unreasonable to follow. Now you have no other choice, pick the path of public delusion or go towards the most obvious case. There's nothing wrong with simplicity, detective.
All you'd miss are a few sparkles of fireworks, a few flickers of the human soul as they're sparks dropped into the lake below.
Though if you were to choose to go on a whim, assume this was all still the white rabbit's doing. How could you prove it? Like how you did the letter with Mr.Miyuki? A man who had dranken himself so bad that it'd result in him waking up half way across Japan." Kibe thought as he got out a piece of paper and began to make some origami. He was making a crane as he looked towards a man wearing a overcoat and smoking a cigarette, he had dark hair and blue eyes. His hair was combed back, he was sitting on another bench only a few fer away from Kibe. He had a few guys sitting with him too, Kibe's eyes looked to them for a moment before he stopped a kid getting ready pass him.
"Hey there, could you do me a favor and give this to that kind man? You seem like a great delivery man." Kibe asked as he handed the child the origami crane. The child nodded as he ran over to the guy. Kibe looked at him as the child went and handed the guy on the bench the origami. The guy looked at it along with his friends, they then looked towards Kibe. Kibe nodded to them as the other man did the same.
"Do your part in this Himmy, and I promise that Juo. Will be nothing more than a fleeting memory." Kibe said
Back with Jun, Mi and Himmy. The girls were making they're way through the warehouse, sneaking from room to room. As they entered into one room, Mi would turn around and see tables filled with money and drugs.
"Woah...holy-"
"Yea we get it, they have a lot of money here. Thats not helping us get out of here." Himmy said
"Shes right, if we're getting out of here. We need to cause some sort of panic, something to get their attention, but give us a chance to escape. Just needs to be something." Jun said, the girls looked around and then saw some spare clothes and gear. They all looked at it and ran to it. They began to put some clothes on, they all were wearing black jackets. Mi looked at one object and grabbed it, it was a tazer.
"Nice find, be sure to use it. Otherwise you'll be wishing you did." Himmy said as she grabbed a crowbar and swung it around a bit.
"...I hate to ask this...but you aren't too familiar with that are you?" Mi asked as Himmy turned to her and then looked at the crowbar. Himmy smiled at her, but her smile was eerie and off-putting. Jun then thought for a moment before nodding to herself.
"Mi, your tazer. Use it on the money." Jun said
"Huh?" Mi asked
"The tazer, use it on the money and set a fire. That'll get they're attention. With it here. It'll be the perfect diversion." Jun said, Himmy looked at her and then to Mi. Mi looked at the tazer and nodded.
Elsewhere in the warehouse, more than several dozen dragon gang members were sitting down in a room. Satoshi was at the other end while Trickster was at the other. Only the light above him had been destroyed, hiding his face.
"We got them, even that ugly one. Now what? We just wait for the white rabbit to get here and cream us?
I don't fucking think so! I say we get out there and wait to mace this freak!" Satoshi shouted to which everyone began to cheer and roar. All minus the Trickster himself.
"No." Said the trickster, his voice was hushed, yet also menacing. It had a icy tone to it yet; at the same time felt like it went smoothly through ears. Some of the dragon members looked to each other, having heard the one nay amoungest the yays.
"Excuse me?" Satoshi said
"Are you deaf or stupid, I said no." said the trickster. Everyone looked at him and then to Satoshi.
"These are my men! We handle an elite business of-"
"Ohoh please, elite would be politics, elite would be atm thefts...elite is something that can cover universal groundwork. I don't see that. All I see is some disgusting garbage, getting a chance to play out their favorite porn fantasies." The trickster said much to everyone's disliking. The trickster then tossed a phone across the table. Everyone's eyes followed it.
"...Wha-"
"You'll have to forgive me, but I thought I'd a favor for your business." Said the trickster, Satoshi grabbed the phone and turned it on. Thats when his jaw dropped and he saw on the screen, that his entire operation had been leaked. Photos of the site in the warehouse, photos of the girls in disgusting and despicable positions and in terrible conditions.
There were also screenshots of their accounts, seeing it had all been taken out and was given to a random account. Satoshi's face was pale white, everyone else looked at him concerned.
"You see that? Thats your life, being completely destroyed. Your boss is going to call you any minute asking why and how.
Just what are you going to tell him?" Asked the trickster. Some of the guys ran over to Satoshi asking him what the hell was going on while other looked to the trickster who was still shrouded in darkness.
"THIS ARE FAKE! They ain't real! Your attempt to goat us into- whatever you have planned won't work!
We'll kill the white rabbit and then we'll kill you." Satoshi said
"Do you want to test that theory?" Asked the trickster to which Satoshi's face got more steern. Thats whena phone screen would light up in the darkness with the trickster. Satoshi stayed still.
"Shall I call him? The head of the dragon?
To prove to you its not farce? At least when you find out, you'll have roughly one day to be right before you'll be dead.
All that money and time spent keeping you all underground, just to be wasted cause someone ratted you all out." Said the trickster, Satoshi watched as the phone slowly went to the trickster's head. Thats when he could see his dark eyes. Those hauntingly dark irises. Satoshi's hand shook violently as he watched the trickster continue to let the phone ring, until-
"ALRIGHT! Ok...I believe you. What would you have us do?" Asked Satoshi, thats when a briefcase would go sliding across the table to him. Satoshi opened it and saw multiple guns, one for each of them. Satoshi picked one up.
"Play with me, a small game of Russian roulette. You win and I'll let you have all the money from catching the white rabbit, lose and well...you know." Said the trickster. Everyone at the table looked at the guy, he was absolutely insane.
"Pick them up, and play. Don't and you'll face worse than a gunshot to the head.
Trust me, whatever your boss had planned for you, won't be as bad as whatever he has in store for you." Said the trickster as all of them picked up guns from the case, the trickster got up and walked out of the shadows, they all looked at him almost puzzled.
"Its a simple game of chance, you point, click, then shoot. On my mark." Said the trickster. Every one of the several dozen dragon gang members pointed a pistol at they're head.
"3....2...1....,FIRE!" the trickster shouted to which everyone did.
Mi, Himmy and Jun all left the room they were in, Mi looking back at the fire she had started with the money in the room. Thats when they all heard gunshots coming from the level above.
"What the hell?" Jun said
"Oh my gosh! Are they killing people!?" Mi asked grabbing onto Himmy.
"If people were dying, we'd had heard them. Come on lets go." Himmy said as she started bolting down the hallway with Mi and Jun following her. As they did, back the trickster, he was standing above all of the dragon gang that was with him. There two others left.
"Good work, let's go. I don't want to be late." The trickster said as he walked out of the room with the two dragon gang members. Back below them, Himmy was sprinting forward with Jun behind her and Mi trying to keep up with the both of them. Thats when a door infrotn of them would get kicked open causing Himmy and them to stop. They watched as two dragon gang members were dragging a battered and bruised Kenji on the ground.
"Kenji!" Jun said
"You take the left one, I'm the right!" Himmy said as she sprinted ahead. Jun ran behind her before stopping a few feet away.
"FREEZE!" Jun shouted to which the two guys looked at her only for the first one to take a crowbar to the back of the skull and then other one to the face. Both of them falling against the cold ground unconscious. Himmy huffed and puffed with exhaustion as she leaned aginst the wall. Mi and Jun came over and helped him up.
"Ughhhh, oh you guys. Thanks. Ow!" Kenji said as he got to his feet weakly.
"Why are you here? Don't tell me they got you at Karaoke too?" Mi said, Jun looked at Kenji a bit skeptical.
"I-"
"He couldn't have been, it was just you, me, Kibe and Ryota there yesterday.
Where were you?" Jun asked
"I was on my way there, when I arrived it was already too late. I had missed the whole thing. However when I went into the alleyway to...relieve myself. I saw a van parked there. I know it wasn't my business, but I was curious and when I opened it. Well there you guys were, all knocked out and tied up.
When I tried to free you the van shit behind me and we started moving. I remember us going by a lot of noise, but after that. I just remember getting jumped once the van stopped. They beat me pretty bad." Kenji said as he felt his blackeye and swollen lip. Mi helped him sit down.
"...That doesn't make any-"
"Hey! You guys, theres a passageway leading up through the doors they just pulled your friend through." Himmy said
"Thats great!" Mi said
"Hes not my friend." Jun said
"Then go upstairs, if we're lucky they got some windows, which means we can escape." Himmy said
"Wait! What about Ryota, we can't just leave him here." Mi said getting up. Jun looked at the rest of the hallway and then to Himmy.
"Himmy, take Mi and get out of here. Me and Kenji will look for Ryota." Jun said
"We will?" Kenji asked confused at his name being added to the hat.
"You will. Go now." Jun said
"But J-"
"I said, go." Jun said, Mi backed away to Himmy. Himmy and Mi ran upstairs as Jun lifted up Kenji to his feet and the two kept exploring the downstairs. Himmy and Mi ran through upstairs, thats when they saw a window at the end of the hallway. As they did Himmy saw to her left a slightly open door with bloody footprints leading out of them.
"Go, get out of here and run to the closet phone. Call the police." Himmy said as she pushed Mi forward, Mi looked back at her before she kept running to the window. Himmy opened the bloody door and saw all the bodies and guns laying around. She tiptoed her way over them as she then saw a phone. She grabbed it and then made a phone call.
In the backroom of a bar, Kibe was surrounded by dead men with Ando Miyuki sitting in a chair at gunpoint. Kibe was staring at him before he got a phone call.
"One moment. Can you keep your voice down?" Kibe asked as he clicked the gun and Ando nodded. Kibe answered his phone.
"Greetings." Kibe said
"Hey asshole." Himmy said
"Good to hear you made it. I'm guessing my hypothesis was correct." Kibe said
"Yes, hes clearing out shop of all of Takashi's little friends. You have Ando right?" Himmy asked
"Thats not your concern. You will stick to your end of the script. How I move is of no concern to you.
Was he there?" Kibe asked
"If you mean the trickster, then no. I didn't see anyone that could be him." Himmy said
"Typical, anyway. The next phase begins now." Kibe said as he then hung up, he then looked at Ando who had his hands up.
"You were more charismatic without the gun, I hope you know." Ando said
"I get that a lot. Now then, you and your members will be taken under new management for the time being." Kibe said
"..."
Kibe then reached in his bag and pulled out his White Rabbit mask. Putting it on his face. Ando's face widened with shock and terror.
"Theres a man in this city, hes a detective. I'll be telling you what to do with him." Kibe said as he then threw on his overcoat which was also in his bag.
