Chapter ten: told by Nagi
"I got it." I told Mamoru with a smile on my face.
"Good. Maybe you'll sleep tonight. What you do can't be good for your body," he told me with relief and concern in his voice.
"You've worked all night before too. I got something. It's not much but it's enough," I said.
He pulled a chair up next to me so I started my explanation. "This is a security camera from a pawn shop. Watch this guy," I instructed as I pointed to a person wearing a black trench coat, a motorcycle helmet with the visor down, and a case in his hand.
The guy on the camera opened the case on the counter and I started to narrate what was going on "That's the gun that the sniper on the roof had. I can't get the face on the guy who's at the counter because of his helmet but he lifts his visor up when he shows the guy his id which is, once more, not caught by any cameras. The guy at the counter hands him some cash with a ticket to get it back at the price he was paid for it, and then he leaves."
"Let me guess. Next thing you're going to show me is our friend Keith picking up the gun," he asked?
I shook my head and said "That's what I thought too but the man puts the gun in a back room and nobody goes in to get it. Someone went in through the rear, picked up the gun, and then handed it off to our friend Yusuke Suzuki who took it to the roof."
"Then were does Keith Lukas come in to this," Mamoru asked me.
"I copied the serial number off of the gun before I came back to the meeting room and hacked the firearm registry database. The gun is registered to Keith Lukas who reported it stolen two days before yesterday. If he went through all that kind of trouble he wouldn't of handed it off to Yusuke himself but he happened to know were the gun came from," I finished.
He looked at me and said "I still want Lukas dead. I'm not calling off the mission. Even if he were innocent I wouldn't be able to call it off. Weiss can't know Persia questions himself or they'll begin to question him and the less Weiss questions Persia the better."
I sighed and almost frowned. This wasn't Omi or Mamoru talking. I doubted it was even Persia. This was Bombay, the assassin who had probably come the closest to taking my life.
"So then we have to hope Sora gathers a good amount of research before he kills him. He's good with computer but he's also quick with his kamas. He also has a temper when his mind is set on vengeance. If it has anything to do with Destryga he's not all there," I said.
Mamoru gave a nod and said "He has good reason to want Destryga dead and so do I. I know he's guilty but I want to find out if he's at the top or somewhere just under it. He might not even be that high up. All I know is he has to die and I hope sometime soon."
I gave a nod and said "You always seem to take care of things right in the end."
