Constable Mikuo entered Gakupo's office, saying, "Sirs, Rinto Kagaene and Rin Akita are asking to see you."
"The Kissing Bandit has requested the pleasure of Rin's company this evening at 8 o' clock." Rinto fumed.
Kaito read the note that Rinto handed him. "The Opulescent Hotel room 304."
"The man has no morals whatsoever! And here is my poor darling Rin, horror-struck and sickened by his brazen attentions!" He walked up to Rin who was sitting at the desk in the interrogation room once more, her gaze fixed on nothing in particular.
"Miss Akita, how did you come by this invitation?" Kaito asked.
Rin turned her gaze to Kaito. "I found it on my desk at work."
"Who knows what harm he has planned for her..." Rinto murmured.
Rin's eyes widened. "Yes, who knows..."
"Mr Kagaene, I suspect that if the bandit intended to harm Miss Akita, he would have done so by now." Kaito reassured the couple.
"You're suggesting she rendezvous with this criminal? I forbid it!"
"Mr Kagaene," Gakupo finally spoke, "I share your deep concern for Rin's safety-"
"Finally, a rational voice. You'll put a stop to this?"
"I will. The safety of your fiancé demands it." A look of relief spread across Rinto's face, but tension soon grew back as he heard what Gakupo said next.
"However, if you and I fail to do everything in our power to apprehend this godless miscreant, there will be more victims. Heed this well: The consequence will rest with you and I, Mr Kagaene. I cannot abide that. Can you?"
Rinto took a deep breath. "No, inspector. I will allow the rendezvous." He turned towards Rin. "Forgive me, Rin."
"Alright." Rin replied looking down.
The dark night sky was dotted with bright stars as two men wearing black coats were huddled close. And of course, the two men happened to be Kaito and Gakupo. They appeared to be going over the plan on how to catch the bandit.
"Okay, so this is how it will go." Kaito started. "The Kissing Bandit is to meet Rin Akita in room 304, just shortly after 8 o' clock. There is only one entrance to the hotel. I will have Constable Mikuo and Nero stationed outside the entrance in case the Kissing Bandit gets past us somehow and attempts to escape. Rin Akita will arrive by cab at the arranged time. And in the meanwhile, you and I will be lying in wait in room 302, next to room 304 where the rendezvous will occur."
"Got it." Gakupo replied. The two men made their way into room 302, as per the plan.
"Meanwhile, outside the hotel, Constable Nero was dressed as a fruit seller and Constable Mikuo was pretending to read the newspaper whilst wearing a fake moustache. The two constables saw a black cab stop in front of the hotel. Rin Akita came out and walked into the hotel.
She felt a bit uneasy.
'But it is for the best'. She kept on repeating those words in her head as she made her way to room 304. She obnoxiously coughed, a sign that indicated that she was here to Kaito and Gakupo.
Rin stopped in front of a wooden door, a golden plate that read '304'. She grasped the door knob and twisted it. Once the door was open, she was about to take a step inside, but got stopped by a hand covering her mouth and another that was wrapped around her waist.
She started squealing in fright, her voice coming out as quiet muffles, but calmed down upon hearing his voice. The calm, soothing voice that she unnoticeably yearned for.
"Shhh. It's alright. Come with me." He whispered. He let go of her, took her hand, and led her into the room opposite. Room 303.
Once Rin entered, she was immediately invited by a table that had several candles resting on top of them.
"It's beautiful." Rin whispered.
"I apologise for the change of rooms but I knew that the police would be lurking."
"My fiancé insisted that I tell them."
"That was to be expected." He began walking towards her, each step closing the gap between them. "Don't feel bad. We are here now." He began to gently stroke her cheek.
"Yes." Rin replied. "But I don't understand-"
"You bewitched me. When I first saw you, I knew you were the one. The only one."
A smile crept on Rin's face but instantly got wiped out as she remembered one very important detail. "But I'm betrothed."
"Your lips say otherwise when we kiss." They kept on staring into each others eyes, a battle of Rin's cerulean blue against the Kissing Bandit's ivory green.
He was the one to break the comfortable silence. "Do you trust me?"
"Yes."
"Then close your eyes. And keep them closed." Rin's face moulded into a quizzical look but she obeyed his order. Little did she know that the bandit was taking his scarf off.
Rin felt soft, warm lips press against hers. His arm snaked around her waist as his other hand slowly drew circles on the small of her back. Rin felt a tingling sensation throughout her whole body, a feeling she never felt with Rinto. Rin's hands went around his neck, entangling her right hand in his shiny blond hair.
Back in room 302, Gakupo had a glass cup and Kaito had a stethoscope, both of them holding it to the wall. The wall that separated room 302 from room 304.
"I can't even hear a thing." Gakupo said. "Not even her footsteps."
"It's as if...no one...is there..." Kaito's eyes widened as he bursted out of room 302 and entered room 304. To his dismay, the room was empty, leaving no trace of evidence that someone was in here behind.
"That's them." The bandit broke off the kiss. "They will find out soon enough. I must go."
"W-will I ever see you again?" Rin asked, not noticing the tremble in her voice.
"Depends. Are you still intent on marrying your fiancé?"
Rin was speechless. How could she have forgotten? It was as if the bandit had cast a spell on her to forget all about her engagement or the real reason why she was here. To help the Constabulary catch the Kissing Bandit.
"Well?"
"What's happened now?" Gakupo wondered aloud.
Kaito had a worried look plastered on his face but it soon changed to a shocked one. Kaito tapped Gakupo's shoulder and pointed towards the door opposite them. Room 303.
