Kay flopped down on her bed. She was tired. Not sleepy tired, she had enough sleep last night. No, she was just tired. Tired of her life at Greenfield Primary. Ever since enrolling there, a whirlwind of misfortune has hit her. First she was shunned for not knowing a name, then she was beaten up savagely, then after that she and Ema were banned from science experiments because they got the method right, and next up was when she was nearly killed, and then her father being shot was the final straw. She had lost the energy to cry though. Crying was futile. It doesn't help you at all, apart from being a source of water when you're in the desert. She just sat there, thinking. Thinking about how to stop this endless charade.

Kay got up from her bed and walked over to her chest of drawers. She opened the top draw and rummaged through her belongings until she found what she was looking for.

Kay looked at her homemade Yatagarasu badge. She stared at it, running her finger across the gold painted grooves. The Yatagarasu symbol was truly a magnificent one. For Kay, it was a symbol of honour, of justice, of equality, of truth. Then she looked at her entrance confirmation for Greenfield Primary. She had kept it for sentimental purposes, but now she just wanted to rip it into tiny little shreds.

She caught sight of the Greenfield Primary logo in the top corner of the paper. It showed a four-leaf clover inside each third of the peace symbol. Kay scoffed. Four-leaf clovers mean good luck, so good luck and peace? Ha, don't make me laugh. That school was anything but.

Kay suddenly had an idea. She got out a pencil and a piece of paper and started drawing. Her pencil quickly ran across the paper as her idea was formed.

~5 minutes later~

Kay felt a kind of pride in her work. It wasn't the pride that she usually felt when she completed a drawing though. It was a kind of pride that she had never felt before. She held her picture up. It was a picture of a bloodied knife surrounded by fire. Two words were next to the picture.

Greenfield Primary

Kay hid the picture in her draw and went downstairs. Gumshoe was taking care of her until Byrne was discharged from hospital. Her temporary guardian was currently watching a comedy program.

"What're you watching Gummy?" Kay asked as the TV laughed, and Gumshoe laughed along with it, smacking his hand against his leg.

"It's a program called Tom and Jerry. It's about a cat and a mouse that are always feuding. You should watch it!" Gumshoe said, and offered her a seat. Kay took it and stared at the screen. The mouse was hitting the cat over the head with the mallet, and the cat was getting severely beaten up. Kay felt sorry for the poor cat, but she couldn't help but laugh. As soon as the laugh left her mouth she felt just that tiny bit better knowing that she was still capable of laughing. They sat there for ages, just watching the same program over and over again, until Gumshoe's stomach rumbled slightly.

"Hey pal, shall we order out today? I don't want you to cook, and the only thing I know how to cook is instant noodles pal, believe it or not. And I don't want you having to have my eating menu pal! Plus, Mr. Badd said that I could use his credit card to pay for food and stuff, pal." Gumshoe laughed, picking up his cellphone. Kay nodded excitedly.

"Yeah! Could we have pizza please?" Kay asked. Gumshoe nodded and phoned the pizza place. He ordered the pizza then put the phone down.

"What were you doing upstairs then?" Gumshoe asked.

"I was just drawing and looking at my badge." Kay answered. She hadn't told any lies whatsoever, and she hadn't told Gumshoe about her crying, or the details of her picture. Gumshoe nodded, and then announced that he needed the bathroom. He left Kay to watch TV, and went to the bathroom. Kay looked at the screen. Tom, the cat, was currently beating up Jerry, the mouse. That reminded Kay of her situation at school. The big bully ganging up on the littlest one around. Kay found herself mentally cheering on Jerry, and then he turned the tables around by stealing Tom's milk bowl and hammer. The episode ended with Tom waving a white flag, and Jerry eating cheese in his mouse hole.

That episode gave Kay an idea. An idea that could go two ways. It could either turn out marvelously, or turn into a horrible disaster. The young girl got up from her seat and made her way into the 'Heisting Room'.


Gumshoe exited the toilet and stretched his arms. He saw that Kay's bedroom door was open, and decided to take a look. He didn't particularly want to invade her personal space, but her room might contain some clues as to her bullying situation.

She had a calendar with those characters from that creepy anime she watches. Higurashi, I think it's called. This month, June, had the picture of the killer green haired twin. Shion Sonozaki, I think.

He came across a chest of drawers, and opened the top draw. Kay had many keepsakes and knickknacks in this draw, such as a blue scarf and a drawing of flames surrounding a bloodied knife… wait what?

Gumshoe picked up the paper, his curiosity piqued as he stared at it. The bloodied knife was drawn out with precision, the silver blade expertly coloured, with a white shine covering the length. The knife was covered in dark red blood, the blood dripping creepily. Flames surrounded the creepy knife, creating an altogether creepy image. Next to the image were the words 'Greenfield Primary'.

Gumshoe stared at the paper in horror. So this is what Kay thinks of school! Well, her dad's in a coma, and I'm looking after her, so it's my responsibility to get to the bottom of this. The not-so-bright detective shoved the paper in one of his massive pockets, and went downstairs. He may be intellectually dim, but when it came to emotions, he was one of the brightest bulbs to ever roam the earth.


Kay pressed the switch, and the dark room was lit up to reveal a table, and a kind of cinema screen. She strode up to the cinema screen, thus positioning herself in front of the table. Kay clapped her hands, and the room became dark once more. The cinema screen wall went further back to reveal a board full of Yatagarsu newspaper clippings, save for the picture that Kay drew yesterday. Yesterday. A lot's happened to me in these past two days. It feels like the torture has lasted for an eternity.

The room went dark once more, but the cinema screen lit it up. The little girl looked at the cinema screen, which now displayed blueprints detailing how they were going to strike Bluecorp. Kay looked at them, focusing on every little detail, such as the time the calling card was placed, where everyone met, where the security guards were, what time everyone left, the route to the 'Secrets Room' and so forth.

When Kay felt that she had focused enough on the blueprint, she clapped once again, and the room reverted to its former position. At least us Faradays have at least one thing that other people can't do. Opening the secret compartment of the 'Heisting Room'. Kay chuckled, turned off the lights, and went back to the living room, just in time for Higurashi.

A/N- Sorry for the long wait! School's started up again, so updates will probably only occur at the weekend. I'll be working on the chapters in the week, and more likely than not, posting them on the weekend.

Yeah, Gumshoe's so poor that Badd gave him his credit card! I've always thought that Gumshoe would be good with talking about emotions, being the big teddy bear that he is! So... reviews are welcome!
