Chapter 79 - The Aftermath

IPOW School Representative Week. Day 1.

It began to rain that day.

Back at the police station the same day as Mr.Miyuk's arrest.

Everyone is in a state of uproar. The Philies and Mr.Nakayama were arguing over the case, and what they found. If it was even enough to bring Kibe in. Himmy of course was now plastered all over the station as a person of interest, however due to the events at Crowtell Hotel/motel all actions on the case were on hold.

Brandon and Jun were in the lounge room. Waiting for news regarding the case. Brandon was leaning back either a banna in hid mouth while Jun was walking back and forth. "Stop that, your making me quizzy." Brandon said.

"What? You know what nevermind. I just- how can this be happening. We have a very good suspect and they're just willing to throw it out because of some stupid national test. Ugh! Thats bullshit!" Jun shouted.

"Ooo, language." Brandon said as he finished his snack. He then sat up and looked at the ground. "DAMNIT Brandon what the hell...did we screw up? Did I-"

"Oh shut up." Brandon said. Jun looked at him. "You did fine, you caught Kat. A serial killer and likely a person who would have went on to hurt others.

This was a good catch. Small victories Nakayama, good victories." Brandon said as he pat her leg before he got up and started walking away.

"Where are you going?" Jun asked. "To go see if there are any psychiatric wards in Japan." Brandon joked as he left. Jun stared before she put her head in her hands again. Brandon started walking past the rooms as he heard Mr.Nakayama and Philies both shouting at one another.

"HE KILLED AN INNOCENT COP! YOU ARENT GOING TO GET OFF THAT EASY NAKAYAMA!" shouted Philies.

"HE WOULDN'T DO THIS! SOMETHING IS WRONG! AND YOU WILL LOWER YOU'RE VOICE WHEN YOUR IN MY GODDAMN OFFICE!" shouted Mr.Nakayama. Brandon stood outside the door. His head hung low. His eyes then scanned around the department.

"So this is how you get away is it? By shattering the police all together. By making one of the most admired and well-respected officers around here become a criminal, a murderer.

I know you're behind this somehow, the same neurological pattern matches the same as Mr.Otsuka. Mr.Miyuki has been mentally tampered with. Nin was able to identify the brain scans. They have serious problems going on around the amygdala and frontal lobe. Only problem is, they can't trace a thing back to you. Somehow, since the first day Mr.Miyuki put you in the interrogation room, you've managed to keep yourself out of the public eye.

And out of ours. But I'm done playing you're game." Brandon thought as he watched as Philies walked out of Mr.Nakayama's office and slamned the door walking away. Brandon watched.

"This is the endgame now. All or nothing." Brandon thought as he started walking away again only to be grabbed by the shoulder by Jun. "Hey." She said.

Brandon looked back at her, his face changing from determination to curiosity. Jun wiped some hair to the side as stepped back. "I um-...This case has gotten a bit heated here. I was wondering that maybe you'd like to grab a bite to eat. Something to cool off." Jun said. Brandon looked at her, he thought about it for a moment. He looked at the front door to the station where he saw Kibe looking at him as he was leaning aginst the doorway. Wearing his white rabbit outfit.

"Go ahead detective, what else do you have to do? Catch me?" Kibe said as with one blink, he was gone. Brandon just stared. "Hey, earth to Wright. You there?" Jun asked. Brandon looked at Jun, his face going from determined to a friendly smile. He thought for a moment tapping his finger on his chin.

"Hmmmm, I'll have to check my schedule real quick...looks like I'm free." Brandon smiled gleefully as looked Jun who was almost reconsidering her offer. She then waved him away as she walked off. "I'll call." She said. Brandon smiled as he walked away himself. However as he did, he'd walk past the cells and see Kat laying in her cell. She obviously didn't want to be there, but she'd be dammed if she let anyone have the chance to make fun of her for it.

So she laid down, looking away from everyone. Brandon then got on his phone and called the hospital. "Hello?" Answered a receptionist. "Hey, this is Officer Wright, you can find my badge number online. Point is this, I'm calling because I want to know the condition of a assailant we brought in a while ago." Brandon asked.

"Of course. Who is it you want to see?" She asked. "A man by the name of Bo." Brandon said.

Much later he'd be at his apartment, laying on the couch. He'd be drinking himself a fruity drink. One that tasted like mangoes and pineapples. He licked his lips as he set the glass down, he walked around his apartment. His eyes darting to one place and then to the other. He flopped onto his couch, his eyes closing as he drifted off to rest his eyes. The first time in years.

Back at Kibe's home, Kibe was tied to a chair with a gag in his mouth to prevent him from screaming. Himmy walked over with a cup of green tea. She sat down infront of him. She sighed as she looked at it.

"I've tried everything...I've tried saying a few key words, I've tried even kissing you and nothing works. The only thing I can think of...is this tea you like the drink. Its nasty, and I tried to make it. So here, let's try it." Himmy said as she reached to Kibe only for him to pull away in fear.

"Oh come on, I told you. You're my boyfriend, I'm not gonna hurt you...unless you give me a reason to." Himmy said as she took the gag out of his mouth. Kibe took a few breathes, sweat running down his head. "Its...its not you I'm afraid of Himmy. How could I? I care about you more then anything else in my life.

...I just...this...

This version of me you keep talking about, this calculated, cold-hearted and vile person. I don't want to- I don't want to be that man. This monster, this machine of a person your telling me about...I don't want to be that man.

...that thing...it terrifies me." Kibe said, his voice showing genuine fear and his words sounding shaky. Himmy looked at him worried. "...I-..." Himmy didn't know what to say.

Her hands shaking a bit. "...I'm sorry." Himmy said as she then grabbed Kibe's mouth and then poured the tea down his throat as he struggled aginst her. She closed her eyes as tears fell down her face.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I-...

...I need it." Himmy cried to herself. Soon after a few moments the shaking would stop. Himmy's body shook for a moment before Kibe's hand rested on her back. Himmy's eyes opened and looked up to see Kibe. His face back to being its normal cold and apathetic self.

She looked at him, her eyes wide and attempting to be hopeful. "K-Kibe?" Himmy asked. "Who else we're expecting?" He asked. Himmy immediately pounced on him, causing the two to go falling over. Himmy buried her face in Kibe's chest. Kibe held her tight and planted a gentle kiss on her head.

"Oh my God! I was so worried, and I wasn't sure this plan was going to work. But we pulled it off! We got out. My God how do you do it? How do you work so well under pressure this extreme?" Himmy said looking at him. Kibe's eyes stared into her's. He had to be honest with himself. Everything that was done, was predone without the idea of Himmy still being here.

He didn't want to admit it, which is why he never wanted his mind fully restored. Or at least that's what he believes he wants.

But Himmy has infact made him soft and careless. If he hadn't had already mind swiped Mr.Miyuki, who knows what would have happened. Kibe's eyes looked down to Himmy. Her dark eyes and his met one another before the two slowly kissed one another. "I can't bear the thought of letting go of something as real as this. These moments with her." Kibe thought. He watched as she sat up and leaned aginst the lower cabinets in the kitchen. Kibe sat up as well, watching her continue to talk about what had happened.

"She is too precious, she is just too precious.

When I started this, it was just a temporary solution to a smal bully situation. Now I've discovered more then I ever did on my past and-" Kibe looked at Himmy. She was still talking about what happened at the hotel. Kibe got up and leaned aginst the counter. Himmy stood up as well. The two looked at each other. Himmy reached put her hand and Kibe held it. "I want us to take a day to enjoy for ourselves. The upcoming IPOW is something I know I'll need to put all my focus towards." Kibe said, Himmy looked at him and chuckled to herself.

"Heheh, you don't really mean that." Himmy laughed.

"Actually I do." Kibe said. Himmy then figured that he was infact serious. She looked at him and crossed her arms. "What would we even do? It's not like we're normal Kibe-" thats when Kibe looked at with a head tilt.

"Do we have two heads? Or maybe two sets of arms?" Kibe asked to which Himmy punched his shoulder, Kibe rubbed his shoulder. "You know what I mean! They saw my face! They could be coming to get me any day now. I-I don't know-"

"Theu can't arrest you. The prime Minister won't allow any trouble during this national event. As blind as they are, we must be grateful this once for their indulgence into communism instead of justice. You could walk around with a sign around you're neck. Saying you're the black fox and they couldn't stop you." Kibe said. Himmy gave out a sigh of relief as she leaned back on the counter.

"Well, I guess we could do something tomorrow. But what about tonight?" Himmy smirked. "Actually I need to do some mental tests to make sure the mind trick I did left no side effects." Kibe said as he walked past Himmy who was shocked at getting her advance ignored.

"YOU'RE A PIECE OF SHIT FOR THAT!" Himmy shouted as Kibe walked up stairs to his room. Himmy folded her arms and pouted.

IPOW School Representative Week. Day 2.

Early in the morning at the police station, Jun and Mr.Nakayama we're sitting in his office. Mr.Nakayama with his hands on his desk while Jun was sitting down in the chair infront. "Nia, you already know Miyuki's daughter. She'll be staying with us for a small time. I hope that's alright. I already talked with your mother." Mr.Nakayama said as Jun nodded.

"I do, its just...I can't believe this...why would Miyuki do this?" Jun asked. But Mr.Nakayama had no answer and just shook his head. He kept looking down before he saw Jun fiddling with her hands. Mr.Nakayama looked at her. She saw by her face the way she kept checking her phone. He leaned back a bit, he studied her and gave a small smirk. "So, how's the boyfriend?" Mr.Nakayama asked as he flipped through the wonderland case file.

"Hes not my-...oh nice job." Jun said. "Hehe, you'll get there. Whats his name? If he's not a boyfriend. Who has you all giddy?" Mr.Nakayama asked.

"...Uhh, I just went out with someone. We had a nice time. Thats all." Jun said as she put her phone away. Mr.Nakayama tapped his finger on his chin as he thought about Mr.Miyuki. "Never give up control Jun, never." Mr.Nakayama said. Jun started to pay attention to him after that.

"What?"

"Control, it's the key element to any and all trades. If you lose control, lose power. You not only fall behind, but you also are seen as lesser. Not worth it. And you never want that. Ever." He said as she got up fixing his coat. Thats when a fellow officer entered into Mr.Nakayama's office. "Jesus, you ever heard of knocking?" Asked Mr.Nakayama.

"Sir, you'll want to see this." Said the officer as he ran back out, Jun and Mr.Nakayama looked at one another before they walked out to see Philies giving a speech to the entire department. "Son of a bitch!" Mr.Nakayama grunted as he made his way over. Jun watched him before she then saw Brandon slouched in a nearby office chair. Jun walked over and pat his shoulder.

"Whats going on?" Jun asked "Well, Agent Wheels is getting readybto introduce the man to replace me on the case. Since I failed so spectacularly as he words it." Brandon said. Jun looked at him. "They can't do this. You know this case better then anyone. This can't be happening." Jun muttered. Brandon paused on her words as he stood up. Thats when he saw Mr.Nakayama walking to Philies. Brandon then speed walked over to them.

"And now everyone, please welcome out-" thats when Mr.Nakayama would come over and whisper to Philies turning him around for a bit. "What the hell are you doing?" Mr.Nakayama asked.

"Isn't it obvious? You and your team blew it. So now me and my team are going to clean it up." Said said Philies. Mr.Nakayama stared at him as Brandon came over.

"Well if it isn't the the big fumbler himself. Tell me, find any new ways to screw a case huh?" Philies asked jokingly. "Cute. You wanna be what I screw up?" Brandon smirked.

"Why you motha-" however Mr.Nakayama would split the two apart as Philies tried to lunge at him. Brandon backing away as to not get struck. "ALRIGHT! ENOUGH! NOT IN MY HOUSE!" Mr.Nakayama shouted as Captain Ozawa came out to see the commotion.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING IN HERE?!" He shouted as he came over. "A FRAUD! THATS WHAT YOU ARE WRIGHT! THATS WHAT YOU ARE!" Philies shouted as Captain Ozawa came over and shoved him back. "Alright back to you're corners you two! This station, no, this department is here to uphold the law. l, ,a, w, ya hear? L, a, fucking W!

And ain't NO ONE! And I mean no one. Going to jeopardize the name that it stands for. I don't care if it's the trickster, the white rabbit or even goddamn Dorothy! You all will show that this department and force are all united as one! Cause once we start to crack.

The law does." Captain Ozawa said. "I couldn't agree more Captain." Said a voice behind Brandon and Philies. Brandon knew that voice, that tone and thick british accent. "No..." Brandon thought in shock as he slowly turned around, as all of his assumptions on who it was were confirmed. The man was slightly older then him, maybe by a year or two. He had blonde hair, and blue eyes; like the sky.

He wore a striped blue vest with grey pants and dress shoes. Brandon watched the man as he cleaned his glasses and placed them on his face. Philies fixed his uniform and then gestured to the man. "May we introduce to you, the UK's best Consultant.

Richard Parker. Also known as the "third eye of the UK"." Philies said. Brandon and Richard stared at one another. Two sides of the same coin.
