Chapter twenty four:
Soon enough Kyouya and Hayato are sitting in position as the time has to come for them to begin the show.
Hunny and Mori are helping with recording things with the cameras.
Tamaki and Hikaru have decided to go to the control room to see if they can help there.
Kaoru and Haruhi on the other hand stand on either side of the stage outside of the cameras view to watch the stage.
"Hello there. I am Hayato and today we have a special guest. Kyouya Ootori. He is here for a very special interview with me." Hayato turns to look away from the camera to Kyouya. "It is so nice to have you here today."
"I am all too happy to appear here." Kyouya responds to Hayato. "Thank you for allowing me to appear on your show."
Kaoru looks across the stage from where he is standing where he can see Haruhi. His gaze then shifts to any windows he can see in fear of being shot. He doesn't see them so he turns back to the interview. He hopes that acting surprised at what Kyouya is going to talk about will save his life. He isn't even sure if he'll survive today.
"So, is there anything you would like to start us off with?" Hayato inquires keeping his smile on his face that he has had since the cameras started rolling.
"Well I feel lucky. Being in the family I am in with money and resources means I can investigate things if I want." Kyouya adjusts his glasses as he speaks before lowering his hand.
"That's amazing. What have you been investigating?" Hayato brings up the question liking where this is going.
"Actually there is an investigation I've been doing for so long. Though none of my friends have gotten involved in this. And it is something I do believe that should be brought to the publics attention." Kyouya begins and it is truly making Kaoru really nervous about what will happen. "I have been looking into a group of people who are assassins. I have gotten lucky with finding a single source recently. Though that source took his own life after I spoke to him. It is a massive group. They have been around for a long time and actually work in secrecy. They teach and raise generation after generation of assassins. Unsolved murders were more than likely committed by them. They do not show mercy. They target their targets and make sure that they don't speak again."
"That's pretty dark." Hayato mentions in surprise. "And you're sure that this group is out there?"
Kaoru steps back a bit feeling a pair of eyes on him. He tries to do his best surprised look he can manage. He then tries to seemingly compose himself.
"I am very sure. That they are out there. I have gotten to the point that I feel like they need to be known to the world. Trust me this group will make sure that any training will kill to mold them to be the perfect assassins. They keep a close eye on those in training to make sure that they don't share anything. I was lucky that my source happened to be targeted for thought betrayal. They can blend in with normal people. It amazes me just how large the group is and how well organized they are. Though not all assassins you can find for example on the dark web are not from the group."
"How much proof have you found to prove that this group really exists?" Hayato brings up the question. "I am sure that our viewers would be very interested in seeing the proof that all of this is true."
"Of course. I have been investigating this for awhile after all." Kyouya pulls out some files and photos from his bag. "Not only do I have my source voice recorded telling me information about the group. I also have other proof. These are some of the murder cases that have things in common. Also any photos I was able to get. I didn't let anyone know but my source had left a text to someone he trusted to give me a bunch of pictures. If you look here you can see one of the targets that he had killed. This is in the briefing of when he was learning information about the target. See the date in the corner? Well only two days later that target was found dead." He continues to show more evidence that he feels lucky that was sent to him and also collected by him over time.
Kaoru takes a step back then jumps as a bullet lands right where his foot just was. He notices that the bullet must have come from inside looking at the angle it hit the ground. He glances around only to spot one of the higher ups watching him with an intense gaze. He looks to Haruhi then back to the higher up who gives a serious nod.
The higher up even flashes his silenced pistol in a threat to Kaoru.
Kaoru takes a shuddering breath then he shifts his hand to where he is hiding his gun. He starts walking moving around behind the set to not get spotted. He makes sure that none of his friends follow him and he moves his hand away from his gun.
"This is crazy." Hayato admits as they show off some of the evidence Kyouya had brought with himself. "Do you think that authorities will be able to bring this group to justice?"
"If they make the right moves there could be a dent made in the group." Kyouya tells Hayato as Kaoru makes it to where Haruhi is standing. "This is a tricky investigation though the exposer should also make them have a bit of trouble. We'll have to make sure that we move in before they manage to fix themselves."
"Do you plan on arresting those in the group?" Hayato looks at Kyouya through the glare of the mans glasses. "Can a rich man like you arrest them?"
"Right now I am focusing on exposing the group. I have no doubt that the police will make their own moves. And even if not everyone believes me at least I made an effect by exposing them. Money and resources are not always everything though they are very useful." Kyouya tells Hayato as he watches him. "I want justice to be served upon the actions that they have taken."
"So this isn't about money, it is about justice." Hayato nods softly upon hearing this. "A very noble cause."
"I am well aware of that." Kyouya confirms.
