Title: Persona 4 – Adachi Days
Chapter 2 : The Man with the Gun
--------------------------------------------------------------------
He could hear it. Their footsteps getting closer to the sealed place.
Heh. I should give those kids more credit.
It was December 23rd 2011.
By the end of the year, humanity will gain equality. Nobody will look another with discrimination or otherwise. Despair will leave the world and hope fill it instead.
At least, that's what Tohru Adachi believed.
The bunch of kids making their way here thought otherwise.
Ironic how the last independent humans were against him.
He gripped his gun tightly as he waited.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-6 Months ago-
He didn't expect this.
The first time Tohru shot someone gave him such a thrill.
It scared him.
The euphoria he got from shooting the mugger was too much as he laughed over the wounded body of the low-life bastard.
"Adachi-san are you all right?" a patrol officer that noticed the incident approached him.
He struggled to compose himself. The scream from the mugger was just too much. He didn't expect a guy like that to scream like a girl.
"I'm fine officer. Get him to the hospital before bringing him down to the station." he replied.
The patrol saluted him and roughly took the screaming mugger to the hospital.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In the locker room after work Tohru sat polishing his gun.
Smiling like an innocent child with a piece of candy in his hand he hummed a little tune.
"I heard you shot someone today Adachi." a voice came from behind him.
He turned and smiled at Sosuke Taro, the junior detective that got appointed the same time as he did.
"Yeah, it was some guy who was mugging a lady and pulled a knife on me."
"So how was it. Was it fun?" Taro questioned him.
His heart stopped. The adrenaline rushing through him once more.
It was hard to will himself to use the gun in his hand and shoot Taro.
"I don't know what you mean Taro-kun."
Tohru's face faltered and revealed what he truly felt for a moment. Taro noticed it before he blinked and the face of someone evil has gone from it's person.
As Taro walked out the door , Tohru pointed the gun behind his back and said,
"Bang."
And he laughed alone. In the confines of the locker room.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-A week later-
"Adachi-team. Prepare to break into the suspect's house."
Outside a mansion Tohru and his team of police officers had been staking the only witness to a drug ring. If this all worked out…
He laughed. Another promotion was in his hands. And Sosuke Taro would be under him.
"Copy that ." Adachi said.
Speaking to his members.
"Our team is to break into the suspect's house from the back door. The assault team will come from the front." he stopped. "Lastly. The suspect MUST be captured alive. We've been working on this case for three years now."
He must have said those lines for almost a hundreth time.
"Let's go."
They broke the front door, a startled man quickly regained his composure and fired shots at the police officers.
"Adachi-san, Yamada has been shot."
Dammit. There's more than one?
"Fire at will, just keep the suspect Adam Greene alive." Tohru told his members.
As he moved around the large house he came across two armed men and fired at them.
"Ahh, it's good to be alive." he said out loud as he fired more shots.
"Dammit Adachi,what are you doing?" A voice came from his radio.
"What do you mean Taro?" Tohru shouted amidst the excitement he was feeling.
"Your job is to secure the suspect not shoot a bunch of goons dammit!"
"Which is what I'm doing, now leave me the hell alone!" and then Tohru turned his radio off.
Sheesh, he was killing my groove.
Suddenly from behind him a man shouted with a large knife in his hand.
Tohru smirked and shot him.
The man smiled as he dropped to the ground.
His last words were,
"Now you'll never get any information from me…."
And Adam Greene died.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The shock from what he did was terrifying, almost a joke.
Dammit. Of all the people to be killed why him?!
In the corners Sosuke Taro was smirking.
Heh, I didn't have to do anything. The idiot just set himself up. Taro thought to himself as he walked over to Adachi.
"Adachi. There will be an enquiry next week on your reason for shooting Adam Greene." he paused for effect.
"Seriously you idiot, if you only listened to me."
Tohru clenched his hands into a fist.
Taro noticed and said. "Now, now Adachi-kun don't wanna get in more trouble do we?"
And he laughed loudly as he left Adachi alone.
Dammit. Dammit all! They won't be letting me off easy for this. The force has been working on this case for so long.
Then he cried. Alone. Weak. Vulnerable.
