Here is another chapter and yet again late for what I am very sorry.

"Yuki Ito isn't who she would like all us to believe," Hikaru repeated.

Haruhi bristled. It was either her pregnancy hormones, or the fact that she was locked in the house, and Kyoya's minions were watching her like a hawk or both, but the feeling of being cornered had gotten her more defensive and aggressive. She was ready to go off at the slightest provocation. It didn't help that Hikaru used his smug, little voice of, "I found something big and I am going to build the tension like I am announcing the next Oscar winner or something".

"Well, hello to you too. How are you doing? How's your pregnancy, any new cravings? Have you murdered the staff at home because your husband has made you into a prisoner? Any other concerns?" she asked annoyed.

"I am serious," Hikaru grumbled.

"Well, then explain what is going on, don't give me that vague shit. You're not the soon-to-be dead character of the first ark of a horror mystery movie, get straight to the point," she rolled her eyes annoyed and if only she could squash Hikaru's soul with her eye roll through the phone. "Did you track her activity in Hong Kong?"

"I did. And not only did I track Yuki Ito, but I fell on the trail of something else," Hikaru said, completely ignoring Haruhi. "She lead me to the wolf's den."

There was a sick excitement in Hikaru's voice. "These bitches don't know I am hot on their trail. I am trying to break into their system and they are going to flush down the bowl."

Haruhi sighed. Hikaru got obsessed whenever he was trying to hack into the intended victim's system. Of course, she had warned him to keep his excitement to himself, but that was too little to dissuade the auburn-haired maniac.

"Just tell me what you have got," Haruhi sighed frustrated.

"Yuki Ito had meetings with criminal organization leaders in Honk Kong," Hikaru told her in excitement. "The explosions, weapon testing, she had been communicating with them and telling these people about the progress they were having. She is our target. She is the one creating this mess and right now she is meeting with the potential buyers of her the chemo weapon."

There was a silence. And then a short sigh, but a moment later Haruhi burst into laughter. "That was good," she said after a hearty laugh. "For a moment I thought you were going to say that she is some sort of a princess and not my husband's mistress, but this is better."

"I am sending you the files," Hikaru tsked like he didn't have the patience to convince Haruhi of the farce he was making up.

"Are you serious?"

"Just take a look," Hikaru told her. "Your husband is in a deep shit. I want to see his face when he realizes that she had used him like a puppeteer to advance her criminal activities."

Haruhi wasn't sure how to react to the files Hikaru had sent. Logs of conversations for months between Yuki and these people who were negotiating with her to get their hands on the chemical weapon. She needed time to analyze the data. It all started to make sense.

"And here is the best part," Hikaru stopped the stream of thoughts that rapidly passed through her head as she looked at the events of past months in the light of the new information. "I finally managed to dig into that creepy dude who conveniently had the same name as the person who ordered your kidnapping and guess what Yuki's dear friend Ikki has been under investigation in London for unethical and illegal experimentation."

"I don't understand how they could do this for months and for anyone to do anything about in the Ootori group, unless they were in agreement," Haruhi gulped.

"I am not sure about that," Hikaru cleaned his throat, "Unless you think the hit on Yoshio Ootori was orchestrated by him himself to divert the attention and create some sort of an alibi."

"Being stuck at home doesn't give me a lot of leeway to undertake a complete investigation," Haruhi sighed. "I need to get out. Now."

"I can organize a break for you," Hikaru said cheekily, "Maybe we should give that call to your dad and spill the beans about your pregnancy. He will demand a retreat."

"That won't give me much room for investigation. I will just have my dad spying on me in addition to Kyoya and his minions."

"Unless you pretend you are visiting your dad and just situate yourself in one of our safe-houses," Haruhi knew Hikaru was smirking. "What no one knows doesn't hurt no one."

"I will see about that," Haruhi cleared her throat. "For now send all of this extracted files to Arai and my team. I need them to go through all of it and make a list of individuals that are potentially involved with the attacks. We need to prepare for everything and collect as much evidence as possible to get a order to arrest them."

"You got it, boss," Hikaru snickered.

The waiter placed the cup on the table carefully. Yuki smiled at him with disinterest, but as soon as the young man turned around to leave the pleasant expression on her face turned into a scowl.

"He wants to break up," she gritted her teeth and snatched the cup.

"I was telling you getting in relationship with him will achieve you nothing," Tina rolled her eyes. "If he is capable of cheating on his wife to be with you, nothing will stop him to toss you aside for his wife if it's convenient for him. I thought you knew this, sweetheart."

"I knew he was a scumbag," Yuki sighed, sipping from the cup. "All the more reason to save her from that garbage piece of marriage. Of course, he was all like we need to have a conversation once you come back. But I already know he will just tell me he is going to stay with her because she is pregnant."

"And what are you going to do, kidnap her and force her to abort," Tina flicked her hair back.

"That's not a bad idea," Yuki smiled as if she was considering.

"Yuki!"

"What?" she rolled her eyes. "She doesn't need another Ootori spawn. She is so much better off without that family holding her back. I can give her more."

"Yes, but if what you want to give her isn't what she wants does it really matter? She will just hate you."

"No," Yuki shook her head like a tantrum-throwing child. "You don't know her. She cares about me. She saved me. She is..."

"Yuki, that was years ago," Tina sighed. "I bet she doesn't even remember you."

"When there was no one to help me and I wanted to die," Yuki cried dramatically. "She was the only person to save me. She will remember me. And I will save her like she saved me."

Tina reached out for a the cigarette box on the table. "I can't believe you," she huffed. "You realize that what you do is dangerous and you are putting her in danger too."

"Oh my God, Tina," Yuki said exasperated. "I just need money. Don't think I am going to stick longer with my scumbag father and Ikki. Once all this is over. I am going to be with her away on some island and my father can rot in hell with Ootori Kyoya."

"You are crazy, Yuki."
