II: Mission
Tatsumi glanced through the file in his hand once more before looking up at his superior. "I take it you wish me to go investigate this?" he asked as he closed the folder.
"Hai. The body has died, but the soul remains trapped within it."
"Understood, I shall get started on it as soon as I find my partner." Tatsumi said as he turned to leave the room. Walking down the hallway he flipped through the file again, it didn't contain much which was slightly surprising. No record of how the man had died, no record of what the person had been doing at the time of death, only a name, a face, and a place. He turned slightly to open the door to the office with one shoulder.
Glancing around once silently to scan the people inside the room and not seeing Tsuzuki, he sat down at his desk to wait for a moment, looking at the photo in the file. It was a poor quality black and white head shot of the man. Tatsumi glanced down once more at the papers in the file again, tapping the edge of the photo against the desk.
'Watari Yutaka. Memorial Heights Hospital.' Not much to go on, he thought silently as he leaned back in his chair. Well, there was nothing to be done about it, except get the job done and the sooner it was over the sooner it would be off his mind. Which meant he needed to find Tsuzuki. Tatsumi sighed and then tucked papers and photo back into the folder and stood back up.
Walking out of the office, he looked down the hallway in both directions before taking the one that led to the room with the closest food in it. Tatsumi was half way there when he was found by Maykai, the young shinigami gave him a hesitant smile before speaking. "Tatsumi-san, I have a message from EnmaDaiOh-sama to you."
Tatsumi raised an eyebrow slightly. "I see. What is it then?" he asked watching the young man. Maykai held out a piece of white paper and after Tatsumi had taken it, turned and fled down the hall without another word. Shaking his head, he looked down at the white paper and opened it silently. He read the two words written there and blinked twice before reading them again.
They still said the same thing, 'Go Alone'. But no one went out on a case alone, it was against the rules. But they were apparently his orders and one had to follow orders, despite that they were in violation of the rules. He was not one to question his superiors on their orders, after all they knew better than he about what needed to be done, and if he had to go by himself on this case then so be it. Turning back around Tatsumi began to walk out of the office building.
