*****
Downtown Tokyo, among the ruins of the Hiroshima Financial Building
It had been more than half an hour since the building had collapsed. Twenty two year old
Chief Matt Ishida watched as twenty police officers and firemen searched through the
rubble to make sure no one was in the building when it had come down. He was
confident that the building had been empty, but an eyewitness had quickly dispelled that
theory. The eyewitness had claimed hearing fighting of some sort just before the
building had been destroyed.
It turned out the eyewitness was indeed correct.
"Sir," one police officer said as he ran towards me, "we just found an Agumon and a
Gatomon among the rubble."
"An Agumon? And a Gatomon?"
The police officer nods. "I think they're the same ones that just started at the station
today."
"Wait a minute... that means Kari must be somewhere in that rubble!"
"Detective Kamiya? You mean she's in there too?"
"She might be. Kamiya was trying to track down the guys who kidnapped her brother
earlier today."
"Well, I don't think her chances are too good if she was in the alley, which the two
Digimon claimed they were."
Matt gasped in shock. He had lost Tai and now his little sister was practically dead,
killed by the vile bastards who had kidnapped her brother. Matt knew how much Tai
cared about his little sister, and that he'd never forgive himself if something happened to
her. Matt decided that it was time to take action. He runs past the officer and up to the
spot where the building formerly stood. He starts to dig through the rubble personally.
As he does so, he notices a small pile of bricks and other debris moving up and down
slowly. Convinced that someone must be under there, he runs over there and starts
digging. In just mere seconds, Kari's face becomes visible under the rubble. It is
covered with gray soot. To make matters worse, she was unconscious.
"Quick!" Matt yelled to his fellow officers. "I need an ambulance! We've got an officer
down!"
Matt could then only stare at Kari's lifeless body in shock as someone went off to greet
an incoming ambulance. There was only one thought on Matt's mind...
"Please... be alive."

(Begin theme song)
The siren of an ambulance wails in the background. Younger versions of Tai and Kari
are standing with their father and a hundred other mourners, all dressed in black. A
gravestone marked with their family last name, Kamiya, is on it. Kari weeps openly into
her brother's arms as a coffin is slowly lowered into a hole in the ground and then
promptly buried in dirt.
Now in present time, Tai, dressed in a gray suit with matching pants along with a white
buttoned long sleeve shirt and plain orange tie, walks out of a police station. Kari is
walking next to him, wearing the same clothes as her older brother, with the exception of
a knee length skirt in place of pants.
Meanwhile, the title screen appears...

Kari dives into a small hole in the side of the building to avoid getting burned. In another
scene, Tai motions to punch someone in the face, but he misses.
As the song comes to an end, Tai and Kari stand in front of their mother's grave. Kari
sheds a tear as she places a bouquet of flowers next to the tombstone. Tai hugs his little
sister as he looks up to the sky, knowing that their mother is now in a better place.

Episode 2 - "Meet the Detectives Kamiya, Part 2"
The automatic sliding doors leading into the emergency ward of Odaiba General Hospital
slide open as a team of paramedics and nurses run a stretcher in. On the stretcher is
nineteen year old Detective Kari Kamiya, knocked unconscious after being buried under
a building when it collapsed. How it collapsed, no one quite knew. But right now, the
main concern was making sure that she lived to tell about it.
Chief Matt Ishida followed them in, but was kept from going further at the front desk.
"I'm sorry, but only emergency personnel are allowed beyond this point," one of the
nurses said.
"You don't understand!" Matt shouted at them. "That's one of my officers!"
"Don't worry," another nurse said, patting Matt on the back, "we've got the best doctors
in the city working here. She's in good hands."
"I hope so," Matt sighed as he reluctantly gave up on trying to get in. "For Tai's sake."
Meanwhile, back at the hideout, twenty-one year old Catherine Bouveaux is lying on her
bed in her room, watching a romance movie on TV while dressed in nothing but a lime
green nightgown.
"This totally sucks," she commented. "Why don't they ever have any good romance
movies on Japanese television? Now, in Paris, you're guaranteed at least three new
romance stories every half hour!"
She reaches over to her nightstand and pulls out a three by five inch photo of Tai when he
was fifteen.
"What happened to us, mon ami?" she sighed as she pressed the photo up against her left
breast and lied back down on her bed. Then pulling it away, she began to admire it
again. "That night seemed so magical. And yet, seven years later, we're both still
single."
Catherine smiles to herself as she sits up and starts lifting her nightgown all the way to
her waist.
"I remember everything you did that night," she said as she lowered the picture to where
her nightgown had been pulled up to before sticking the portrait up it. Catherine sighed
once again as she began to finger herself, pretending that it was Tai doing it and not her.
In another room in the hideout, Sora was still dressed in the clothes she had on earlier,
but she's now putting together their plans for tomorrow night.
"It's too bad we had to spend tonight getting rid of Kari," Sora said. "There was this
great jewelry store I've been wanting to rob for ages now. But now that Kari and Tai will
be out of the way and I have all of the security plans for the store, this should be a cinch!"
She then went over to a desk drawer and pulled out a photo of Tai... the same exact one
that Catherine had.
"Tai Kamiya, you devil." Sora smiled as she looked at Tai's picture. "Why did you have
to be such a player? If only you hadn't gotten to Catherine. Cheap whores like that don't
satisfy you enough, forcing men to search for more way too often. That's why I lost you
all those years ago. I would've satisfied him without any problem."
Sora then took out a picture of Catherine from the same drawer, along with a pair of
scissors. She takes the scissors and starts cutting Catherine's photo into hundreds of
pieces. She then throws them all into her black wicker wastebasket. She then smiles
again, takes the photo of Tai, and heads for her private bathroom. Along the way, she
grabs her towel and throws off all of her clothes as she heads for the shower.
"Now you'll get to see first hand what I wanted from you on our first night."
Now, we head to the room where Joe and Tai are tied up. Well, they were tied up...
"I'm amazed how easily you got out of those ropes!" Joe commented as he handed Tai
his trench coat.
"Well, I can't be a detective without knowing how to get out of those tight situations."
"You can say that again, because those ropes weren't the only things you slipped out
of..."
"Oh, tell the whole world why don't ya?"
"So... what now?"
"We get out of here, that's what now!"
"Wait! We have to find my Digimon first!"
"Digimon? You have a Digimon?"
"Yes. His name is Gomamon. I think they have him in the holding pens on the deck
below us."
"And you know this because?"
"Mimi incoherently said so when she made out with me last night," Joe replied, blushing.
"So," Tai said with a lecherous smile on his face, "what's she like naked?"
"Like I'm telling you."
"Come on! Between friends!"
"Friends? We just met!"
"I consider a few hours together more than 'we just met.'"
Back at Odaiba General Hospital, Mr. Kamiya had just arrived. He grabs a seat next to
Matt, wondering how his daughter is.
"Well?" he asked, grabbing Matt by the trench coat, "is my daughter going to be okay?"
"I don't know," Matt replied in the only way he could, "I'm not even sure what her
condition is. They wheeled her back there about fifteen minutes ago."
"I knew this detective stuff was too risky. If she dies, you're going to get a lawsuit the
size of Osaka!"
"She was still breathing when I found her under the rubble, Mr. Kamiya. I think she'll be
just fine."
"Just fine? Just fine?! That's what the paramedics said when my wife got shot ten years
ago! But she died! She died, you hear me!"
"Mr. Kamiya! Snap out of it! She may be your daughter, but she's one of my finest
detectives. If she can't survive something like this, who would?"
Back at the hideout, Mimi stretches her arms and yawns, tired after all of the day's
activities.
"I'm glad it's going to be over with in the morning," she said. "Then I can finally ditch
Sora and go out on my own!"
She clenches her fist in anger before pounding it against the wall. "She's kept me from
reaching that potential I've always desired. But no more! After tomorrow, I'm a free
woman! No one can stop Mimi Tachikawa! I'm the girl of your desires!"
"What are you babbling about?"
Mimi turns and sees a tired Floramon, rubbing her eyes.
"Did I wake you, Floramon?" "Yes, you did. Shame on you!"
"Aren't you on guard duty tonight?" "Yeah, but I don't know why we need one. We're in the middle of nowhere."
"Tell that to Sora. She's afraid that someone will sneak in to the base and attack her."
"Why would she think that?"
Mimi then realizes that she's said too much. She walks off without saying a word.
"Mimi! Why would she think that?"
Mimi continues to ignore Floramon as she carries her stuff off to her room.
Back at the hospital, an hour or two has passed since Kari was brought in. All of a
sudden, one of the doctors comes out of the emergency room and up to Matt and Mr.
Kamiya.
"Chief Ishida? Mr. Kamiya?"
The two of them stand up and shake hands with the doctor.
"I'm Doctor Takashi Nakalana. Pleased to meet you both."
Mr. Kamiya grabs Dr. Nakalana by the shoulders and starts shaking him. "How is my
daughter? Please tell me she's alright!"
"Hold on," the doctor says, calming Mr. Kamiya down. "I just came out of the
emergency room. Your daughter is going to be okay. She had a few cuts on her arms
and legs, but it's nothing serious. We also knew that she was found unconscious,
correct?"
"That is correct," Matt replied. "She was out when I found her."
"Well, we checked her for any head injuries, but she seems to be fine. A little dazed,
that's all. I think it would be best if she stays here overnight for observation."
"Can I see her?" Mr. Kamiya asked.
"In a few minutes. They're currently moving her to one of the patient's rooms. I'll have
the nurse tell you which one once she's there. You can only go in one at a time, though,
and stay no longer than five minutes. It is after visiting hours, you know."
"Thank you, doctor."
As Dr. Nakalana walks off to see if anyone else needs assistance, Mr. Kamiya and Matt
began to debate over who should see Kari first.
"Please! I want to see my daughter first!"
"Whoa! Hold on, Mr. Kamiya! I was going to let you go first!"
"Oh... okay."
After a few minutes, the nurse points them towards Room 2207. Once they get there,
another nurse waits for them. Mr. Kamiya walks right into the room, while Matt waits
outside.
Inside the room, Mr. Kamiya finds that Kari has the room all to herself. She is lying
down on the bed closest to the window. He walks over to the bed, where Kari becomes
aware of his presence.
"Dad?"
"Sweetheart! I'm glad that you're okay!"
Mr. Kamiya reaches over and gives his daughter a big hug. As soon as her dad releases
her, though, Kari tries to get out of the bed. But she quickly discovers that her arms were
not strong enough to hold herself up. She winces in pain as her father pushes her back
into bed.
"Hold on there! You're too weak to do anything right now!"
Kari moaned dejectedly as she laid back down. She breathed a sigh of displeasure as her
father pulled the bedsheets over her.
"You know, I think it's time that you considered another line of work."
"But dad..."
"No buts, young lady! And where's your brother? I think he should quit too!"
"Actually dad, you probably don't want to know where he is."
"You mean he's hanging around with his girlfriends again?"
"Um..." Kari began hesitantly, "you could say that."
Back at the hideout once again...
"Are you sure you know the way?" asked Tai.
"Not really," replied Joe. "Just trust me."
"I'll trust you when I find some clothes to wear," Tai responded, buttoning up his trench
coat.
The two of them turn the corner, only to find Catherine standing there with a midnight
snack in hand. Joe and Tai laugh nervously as Catherine scowls at them.
*****
Joe and Tai stand frozen in fear as Catherine, wearing nothing but her lime green
nightgown, walks up to them defiantly.
"How did you get out of that room?" she asked curiously.
"That's a good question," Joe answered, turning to Tai. "How did we get out of there?"
"I used a hairpin to pick the lock, remember?"
"But I thought only girls wore hairpins."
"They do."
Tai then pulls the hairpin out of his pocket and hands it to Catherine. Tai then hugs her,
causing the girl to drop her snack... a cinnamon bun.
"Hey! I love you too, but you made me drop my snack!"
"I'm sorry, Catherine," Tai said, letting go of Catherine and then looking at her snack,
now splattered on the ground. "Gee, it looks like you won't be able to eat that any
more."
Catherine smiles. "It doesn't matter. I was only going to eat it to take my mind off of
worrying about your safety." She then begins to cry openly as she puts her arms around
Tai and starts to weep into his trench coat.
"I'm just glad that you're safe. Where did they lock you up?"
Catherine looks up and blinks curiously. "What do you mean? I was never locked up."
"Huh? Why not?"
"Because she's one of the bad guys, that's why," exclaimed Joe, jumping in.
"What are you talking about?" Tai asked, dumbfounded. "Catherine would never hurt a
fly."
"That's not true!" Catherine yelled at Tai. "I made a pretty good impression on your
head!"
Tai reaches up to touch the top of his head. For the first time, he notices the big bump
there... as well as the pain that came with it.
"Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh! My head hurts!" Tai yelled, holding his head while he ran back and
forth in front of Joe and Catherine. They sweatdrop.
"Will you calm down already," Catherine said, trying to calm Tai down.
"What did you hit me with? A two-by-four?" Tai yelled right in Catherine's face.
Catherine rubs the back of her head nervously. "Well, not exactly, but it was about the
same size."
Joe coughs to interrupt the discussion once again. "I hope you don't mind, but can we
get back to business?"
"What business?"
"If you remember, Tai, about a minute ago we established that Catherine here was not a
prisoner like us, but rather one of our captors."
"Ah. I see." Tai began to think for a few seconds. Turning to Catherine, he then says,
"Wanna take a ride on the rocket in my pocket?"
"Pardon?" Catherine replied, confused.
"Do you want to provide the cave for my snake to hide in?"
"But you don't have a snake, Tai."
Tai smacked himself in the face. He then sighed and said matter-of-factly, "Catherine,
you wanna fuck?"
Catherine smiles happily. "Why didn't you just say so? Of course!"
The two hold hands and start to walk off, when Joe jumps in their path.
"Just where do you think you two are going?"
"Weren't you paying attention? Catherine and I are going to her room so we can make
out."
"Oui."
"Hello? Are you two processing correctly? Tai, you're an officer of the law! Catherine,
you're part of a criminal gang of young women who use men to commit their crimes for
them! Can you two please tell me what is wrong with this picture?"
"I see your point," said Tai. "I guess it's not going to work out."
"I guess not," came the reply from Catherine.
"I'm glad you two have come to your senses."
"Thanks a lot, Joe."
"I guess it's time for the chase scene."
"Right. How do we start it?"
"May I?" Tai said, with an idea in mind.
Joe and Catherine nod in agreement. Tai grabs Catherine by the shoulders and leans in
as if he's going to kiss her. Joe is about to reach over and pull Tai away, when the
detective quickly grabs the straps to Catherine's nightgown and tugs them away. This, of
course, causes the nightgown to fall to Catherine's feet, leaving her completely naked.
"Run!" Tai yelled, quickly turning away to run down the hall. Joe runs after him as
Catherine instinctively uses her hands to cover herself. Once the duo disappears from
sight, Catherine gets back into her nightgown and then chases after them. By that time,
though, Tai and Joe had gotten some distance on her, so they decide to go into a nearby
room and hide for awhile. Once inside, Tai turns on the lights and then backs himself
against the door. As he tries to catch his breath, he finds himself staring at an angry Joe,
who is holding a tissue up to his bleeding nose.
"You were thinking about her, weren't you?"
"Hey! We got away, didn't we? You should be thanking me."
"I'll thank you when my nose stops bleeding."
Tai smirked at Joe. "Gee, if I knew you were going to be like that, I would have told you
to turn away before I pulled her nightgown down."
Joe gasps... and then panics as blood starts to flow out of his nose and out of the tissue.
He quickly runs to the bathroom to get some more tissue to plug his nose with.
"Something tells me that you don't see women naked often, do you?"
"Oh, shut up," came the voice from the bathroom.
Back at the hospital, Kari is now speaking with Matt.
"I'm glad that you weren't hurt."
"It was a trap. This pink haired girl attacked me."
"All by herself? She must have been pretty strong to beat the three of you up."
"She had help. Two Digimon. I believe she called them Biyomon and Palmon."
"Biyomon? And Palmon?"
"Well, that was what their names were before they digivolved into Birdramon and
Togemon and then kicked the living snot out of Agumon, Gatomon, and myself.
Speaking of which, where are they?"
"Strapped into a bed for the night, just like you are."
"At least they'll be okay." Kari then began to worry about Tai. "I wonder if..."
"I'm sure we'll find them. Don't worry. Tai can handle himself."
"Matt... my father wants me to quit the force!"
"You can't let him do that! You two are my best detectives!"
"But he's afraid we'll get hurt. Or worse..."
"Let me handle your father. You worry about getting well. I'll have the men keep a
lookout for Tai. In the meantime, you need to get your rest."
Matt begins to walk out as Kari glances up at the ceiling and tries to go to sleep. Matt
turns off the lights and closes the door on the way out.
Once again, we go back to the hideout. Tai and Joe are nowhere to be found in the dark
room where they were hiding. All of a sudden, the door opens. Mimi enters, dressed in
her pink nightgown. Palmon was with her. They were discussing the events from earlier
as they search the room.
"I can't believe you did it with twin Gotsumon!"
"Hey! It was their birthday! How could I refuse?"
"I bet you'd do it with anyone as long as they paid you for it."
"I'd do it with anyone as long as they were cute!"
"That's just like you, Mimi. You really need to get into another line of work."
"Why don't you believe in me, Palmon? You're just like Sora! You never approve of
what I do!"
"I didn't say that!"
"That's what you were implying!"
After coming up empty for what seemed like the thousandth time, Mimi and Palmon
head out of the room, turning off the lights and closing the door behind them. Seconds
later, Tai and Joe come out of their hiding place.
"That was close!" Joe said, pulling himself out from under the bed.
"Say," Tai began, following Joe out, "what do you think Mimi would look like without
that nightgown on?"
"Will you stop it with the dirty thoughts! You're going to make my nose bleed again."
"I think we should hide out for the night. Our chances of finding your Digimon and
getting out of here alive aren't very good."
"That's fine by me."
Tai looks in the closet and finds several green short sleeve shirts and numerous pairs of
khaki pants.
"We must be in Michael's room. I'd recognize these clothes anywhere."
Tai closes the closet and makes his way over to the dresser. He opens the top drawer and
finds a few white T-shirts and several pairs of shorts inside. He smiles as he unbuttons
his trench coat and lets it fall to the ground. Joe sees Tai's naked rear as the detective
reaches into the drawer and pulls out a T-shirt and a pair of navy blue gym shorts.
"Tai! For god's sakes, you're not at home!"
"Yeesh," Tai said as he put one leg into the shorts and then the other. "It's nothing you
haven't seen before."
"What are you talking about? I've never seen you naked before!"
"And let's hope you don't want to again. Besides, my point is that you have the same
body parts that I do."
"I thought we were going to stop talking about naked people!"
"Okay, I'll stop! Look, if you're so scared of me, you go sleep in the bathtub and I'll
sleep under the bed."
"What? I have to sleep in the bathtub?"
"Fine. You can sleep under the bed and I'll sleep in the bathtub."
Before Joe can object again, Tai walks into the bathroom and closes the door behind him.
Joe sighs and crawls back under the bed, making sure not to damage his glasses in the
process.
*****
The following morning at the hospital, Mr. Kamiya arrives back at Kari's room, only to
find her daughter already getting dressed in her pink short sleeve shirt and yellow
spandex shorts. Once she was done, she slipped on her shoes. She then sat down on her
bed. From the nearby table, she takes her police badge in her right hand and her cup of
mocha latte in her left. During the whole time, Kari does not notice her father's
presence.
"You're going out again, aren't you?"
"Yes," she replied, finally realizing that her dad was there. "It's my job."
"I wish you would reconsider. You aren't safe in this line of work."
"Do you think I would have taken this job if I didn't know that? Dad, you worry too
much."
"I'm afraid that I might lose both of you. After finding out that Tai was kidnapped and
that you were nearly killed, it felt like that day ten years ago."
"Matt must have told him about Tai," Kari thought. "I know you're still sad about mom
getting killed the way she did," she told her father, "but I thought we had already gotten
over that!"
"Do you remember what it was like the day your mom died?"
As Kari shakes her head no, we go back to Tai in the hideout, who is lying awake in the
bathtub. He too is thinking about that very same day. He begins to relive that day as if
he was telling Kari about it himself instead of her father...
Begin flashback sequence...
Fade in to a graveyard on a dark and stormy night. As you would expect, this isn't an
ideal night to visit a loved one's grave. Believe it or not, a figure in the background is
paying his respects to one of the graves this very night.
The individual walks up the path until he reaches a certain point. He then turns and starts
walking on the muddy grass, passing grave after grave until he reaches the one he was
looking for. Although the figure is unidentifiable from this distance, the shape of his
spiky hair is easily noticeable. He kneels down and produces a wet bouquet of pink
carnations out of nowhere. He puts it next to the grave and then begins to remember the
reason why he comes to visit it every week.
"Ten years ago. That's when it all happened."
Begin second flashback sequence...
Flashback to a nice, quiet setting of a family sitting down to dinner in their apartment.
"It was a normal day like any other."
The four family members take their respective seats at the table. The two parents, a
young nine year old girl, and a twelve year old boy... who seemed to be a younger version
of the person in the graveyard.
"We were all sitting down for dinner. We had begun to discuss the event's of the day.
You know, to hear dad complain about his boss, mom wanting to get out of the house for
once, Kari rejoicing over the A that she got on her book report, and of course, myself,
wondering if I was going to flunk sixth grade or not."
The sound of several different pairs of footsteps can be heard outside of the apartment...
and getting closer.
"Our conversation was then interrupted by the sound of several people running outside."
His mom gets up to check what the noise is exactly.
"Of course, my mom thought it was just a few troublemaking teenagers. So, she heads
for the door to try and catch them so she could report them to their parents."
His mom reaches for the doorknob as the others continued their conversation.
"When all of a sudden..."
As his mom opens the door, three teenagers run by. She looks down the hall at their
backs, getting ready to yell at them about the noise...
"Our lives were changed forever..."
A gunshot rings out in the air. Seconds later, his mom falls to the ground. Blood begin
pouring out of her head.
"Honey?" our dad said as he jumped out of his seat and ran for the door.
"Kari and I followed," the figure continued to narrate, "wondering what was going on."
His dad runs out and spots his mom down on the ground, face first. He glances in the
other direction and sees two masked robbers running down the stairs and heading off to
their car. The two children come out to look, but the father spots them.
"Stay inside, you two! Go call the police!"
"Both of us ran inside to get to the phone. My sister beat me to it, so she called the
police. And she did a pretty good job at it, too. Probably better than I could have done.
"By the time we were back outside, a small crowd had formed outside their door. Some
of the neighbors stood in shock, just watching as our mom struggled to stay alive. But
since one of our neighbors was a nurse, she was doing her best to help keep our mother
alive. She was trying every medical technique in the book... well, at least the ones she
was capable of doing given the circumstances. But it was all for naught.
"When the ambulance arrived nine minutes later, she was already dead."
End second flashback sequence...
Back to present time, a flash of lightning fills the air. For a split second, the grave that
the individual was looking at lights up. The name 'Kamiya' is easily spotted in giant
letters at the top of the tombstone. After a few seconds, a rumble of thunder can be
heard, followed by another lightning flash. This time, the camera focuses on the
individual himself. He is a twenty-two year old gentleman dressed in a brown trench
coat. His spiky brown hair sticks out in the dark cemetery like a walking zombie. His
brown eyes were filled with remorse over the loss of his mother ten years ago. It was Tai
Kamiya himself.
Tai stays there for several minutes. He continues to wonder if there was some way that
all of this could have been prevented. If only his mother hadn't gone out there to
reprimand those kids. And since the initial investigation, the police were unable to find
the masked robbers that had shot our mom or the guys that they were chasing. Because
they were wearing masks, the robbers could not be identified. As for the would-be
targets, my guess is that none of them have come forward for fear of their own lives.
For almost ten years, that case has remained unsolved. No new clues have turned up
since the police gave up on the case four months afterward.
"That's why I became a detective," Tai thought to himself. "Maybe I can find some clue
to my mother's murder that the police may have missed, lost, or overlooked. Just the
thought of one day finding the gunman himself keeps me going. Even if Matt is my boss.
Boy, I need to remember to tell him to lighten up."
End first flashback sequence...
"Now I remember why you two became detectives in the first place!" shouted Mr.
Kamiya.
"Dad, please! This is a hospital!"
"Kari, you need to realize that if there was anything more the police could have done to
find out who killed mom, they would have done it. Why not give up this false chase and
focus your energy on something else. Like going to college, for example."
"I'll go to college when I'm good and ready."
"Don't talk to me like that, young lady! I'm still your dad! You have to do what I say!"
"Yes, that's true." Kari finishes her mocha latte and throws her cup in the trash can. She
then gets up and starts to head for the door. "But I'm not a child anymore! I'm nineteen!
Shouldn't I be allowed to pursue the career of my choice?"
"Yes, but not ones that put your life in danger! Kari, are you listening to me?"
Kari goes to the desk by the door and signs the forms on the clipboard.
"I assume you've already paid for everything."
"Yes, I have dear. All they need is your signatures."
"Done. I have to go now, dad. I've got to find Tai."
"Kari!" Mr. Kamiya yelled, causing Kari to stop dead in her tracks. "If you walk out that
door, I'll never forgive you! Heck, I won't even care if you get killed out there fighting
with a criminal! You'd better come back in here if you know what's good for you!"
Kari turned her head back towards her distraught father. She could see how angry he
was. She knew that he didn't want anything to happen to her. But she couldn't just sit at
home and hope that Matt and the rest of the force would find Tai alive. She couldn't
take that risk. So Kari did the only thing she could do...
She walked out of the room.
Matt met her at the end of the hall. Kari knew that Matt had heard the entire exchange
she had with her father, so it was no surprise when he inquired about what happened.
"Are you sure you should've done that?" Matt asked.
"I'm sure," Kari reassured herself. "My dad has to learn that I can take care of myself.
Besides, who's going to find Tai if I'm not looking for him?"
"Oh, so you're implying that the rest of the force would just forget about Tai?"
"No. I'm just saying that I can't be sure that Tai will ever be found alive unless I find
him myself."
The two locate the elevator and push the down button. A minute later, the door opens
and the two enter. The elevator descends to the ground floor, without Matt or Kari
saying a single word. Once they get out of the elevator, though, Kari starts up a new
conversation.
"So, where are Agumon and Gatomon?"
"They're at the Shinka Street Station with Gabumon."
"Gabumon? Who's Gabumon?"
"Oh, that's right, you haven't met. I'll explain later. Anyway, it seems that they found
something strange there about half an hour ago. I've already sent some units down there
to assist the Digimon."
"What do you mean something strange?"
"Well, the way Gabumon puts it, he thinks that it's a portal to where he comes from...
namely, the Digital World."
"A Digi-port? Here? In Tokyo?"

Flashback: Thirty-five minutes earlier...
Tai opens the door to the room he and Joe had slept in that night. He looks both ways
down the hall. No one seems to be around. He signals for Joe to follow him out. The
duo is dressed in the same clothes that they went to sleep in, except Tai is wearing his
trench coat over his borrowed set of clothing.
"Okay," began Joe, "first things first. We find where Gomamon is locked up and free
him. And then we get the heck out of here."
"Agreed. Let's just hope we can get out without one of those crazy women or their
Digimon spotting us."
Tai and Joe begin searching the hideout for Gomamon. They go into every room,
looking high and low, squeezing through every nook and cranny, and making as much as
a mess as possible to ensure that they didn't miss anything. Finally, after half an hour,
they find their way to the small prison complex on the first floor. They discover that all
of the cells are empty except for one... the one holding Gomamon.
"Gomamon!" Joe shouted to his Digimon partner. "I'm here!"
"It's about time!" Gomamon yelled impatiently. "Do you know what they've fed me the
past two days?"
"Let me guess..." Tai said, jumping in. "Slop, gruel, and mealworms, right?"
"Nothing!" Gomamon shouted as his stomach growled. "I haven't eaten anything in two
days!"
"Don't worry, Gomamon. Once we get home, you can have all the food you want."
"Then get me out of this cell! You know how much I love your family's cooking!"
Tai pulls another hairpin out of his pocket. Joe looks on curiously as Tai picks the lock.
"I thought you gave Catherine her hairpin back."
"I never said I only took one," Tai replied, winking. Tai finishes picking the lock and
opens the cell door. Gomamon instantly leaps into Joe's arms, which happened to be at
his side instead of being in position to catch him. As a result, the two fall to the ground.
"You really should know how to catch, Joe," Gomamon said, now lying on Joe's
stomach. "Then again, you never were the athletic type."
"You two can finish your reunion speeches later. Let's just get out of here."
"Who do you think you are, man? James Bond?"
"Gomamon! Tai here is a police detective."
"Really? Is he any good?"
"Am I any good? You will see just how good I am!"
Tai leads Joe and Gomamon through and out of the hideout in under three minutes. The
hideout's exit leads into a small cave, whose opening is right in front of them. The trio
walks out and discovers that the cave is in the middle of the forest.
"This is just great," Joe stated sarcastically. "How did we get in the middle of a forest?"
"You tell me," answered Tai. "I wasn't conscious when I was brought here, remember?"
"Well, neither was I!" Joe retorted back.
"Wait a second!" Gomamon butted in, sticking a paw in the air. "I think I hear
something!"
"What?" the two humans asked simultaneously.
"Be quiet! I'm trying to concentrate!"
Tai and Joe become absolutely still as Gomamon closes his eyes and begins to meditate.
He attempts to focus on the origin of the sound. Tai and Joe watch as an image begins to
form slowly in Gomamon's mind. The seal-like Digimon quickly identified the sound. It
was the crashing of a wave onto the shore. That meant that there was a beach somewhere
nearby. Gomamon now tries to pinpoint in what direction the beach was. After about a
minute, he finally locates it.
"There's a beach nearby! It's about a mile that-a-way!" Gomamon shouted, pointing in a
northwesterly direction from the cave entrance.
"We should investigate," Tai said. "We might something we can use to get out of here...
well, wherever here is."
"And the sooner, the better," added Joe.
The trio takes off for the beach. It takes them about five minutes to get there. As they
reach the end of the forest and the start of the beach, Tai quickly notices that there's
someone there. He grabs Joe and Gomamon and pulls them down behind the tall grass.
"What the..."
"Shhhhh!" whispered Tai, putting his index finger to his mouth. "There's someone out
there."
Gomamon pushes some of the tall grass aside and immediately spots who Tai is referring
to. Sora is standing about six hundred feet away from them, dressed in an orange tank
top and a knee length daffodil print white dress. And right next to Sora stood Biyomon.
But what shocked Gomamon even more is what stood behind them. Gomamon pulls
back and tells Tai and Joe of his findings.
"It's a Digi-port! We must be in the Digital World!"
"The Digital World?" asked Joe. "You mean the place where you and all other Digimon
originated from?"
"Yep, that's right!" exclaimed Gomamon. "Did anyone ever tell you that you'd make a
great detective?"
"Skip the commentary," Tai said. "If we are in the Digital World, then that portal must
lead back to the real world! We've got to get past Sora and Biyomon!"
"But how? If you remember, Sora wanted to kill us last night."
"That's right. So much for the direct approach."
"We'll just have to wait for her to leave. Then we'll make our move."
"It doesn't look like they're going to move any time soon!"
"No shit, Sherlock!"
"Hey, my name's not Sherlock!"
"Never mind."
End flashback sequence...
Back in the real world, Kari and Matt have just arrived at the scene. Several police cars
already have the area blocked off. There are about two dozen police officers trying to
keep control of the situation. Gatomon, Gabumon, and Agumon are waiting at the
staircase leading down into Shinka Street Station.
"We've been worried sick!" shouted Agumon.
"Yeah!" exclaimed Gabumon. "Where were you?"
"I had to take care of things with my dad," replied Kari.
"You sure picked a swell time to have a heart-to-heart with your father!" Gatomon said.
"Forget that!" Matt yelled. "What's the situation?"
"Someone's opened a portal to the Digiworld up on the top floor of the Tarotama
Building," came the answer from Gabumon.
"It could be a clue!" Agumon added with a smile.
"Has anything gone in or come out of it?" Matt asked.
"As far as we know, no," Gatomon responded.
"How about the occupants of the building?"
"All out, Kari."
"We'd better play it safe," Matt said. "We don't want anything bad happening." He then
turns to Agumon and Gabumon. "You two stay here. In case anything happens, I want
you two to be ready to get us out."
"Got it, sir!" responded the two Digimon, saluting their chief.
"Officer Kamiya, I would like you and Gatomon to accompany me into the building."
"Yes, chief!" Kari replied with a salute. Gatomon followed suit.
The trio ran across the street to the main entrance of the Tarotama Building. They head
in and start climbing the thirty-five flights of steps to the roof. Kari reaches the door to
the roof first, with Matt and Gatomon right behind her. All three of them are exhausted,
but they push on. Kari opens the door slowly, making sure that no one is around. Once
she assures herself of that, she walks out onto the roof.
But as soon as she does, Kari is jumped from above. Floramon jumps in as a distraction,
in order to throw Kari off guard. Palmon then uses her vines to tie Kari up while Mimi
and Catherine, dressed in their 2nd season outfits (from the TV show), kick the door
closed... right in Matt's face! Matt steps back and screams in pain, holding his now red
face. Gatomon leaps at the door and attempts to use her claws to shred it to pieces. But
it's of no use.
"Don't waste your time!" Mimi yelled from the other side of the door.
"You'll never get through as long as we're here!" shouted Catherine.
"Now," Mimi said, eyeing the helpless Kari, entangled in Palmon's vines, "let's get down
to business. You two know what to do."
Palmon and Floramon nod as they walk over towards the nearest edge. As they do, Kari
catches a glimpse of the Digi-port on the other side of the roof.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Catherine asked Mimi.
"Hey, do you want to get rid of Sora or not?" Mimi asked back.
"Yes I do, but..."
"Killing someone is just a small price to pay so we can get in Sora's good graces. And
then, when she least expects it..."
"We do the same thing to her!"
"Right! But, first things first. Palmon?"
"Floramon?"
"Dump her over the side!" the two humans said in unison.
Palmon stops walking right at the edge. Floramon gives her the signal to throw just as
Kari refocuses her attention from the Digi-port to her perilous situation. It's too little,
too late, as Palmon extends her vines a full three feet away from the roof before quickly
pulling the vines out from underneath the detective. Kari screams, paralyzed with fear,
as she freefalls towards the ground, thirty-five stories below!
At that exact moment, back in the Digiworld...
Tai, Joe, and Gomamon were formulating a plan to get past Sora and Biyomon.
"Got it?" Tai asked his two partners, who nod in reply.
Gomamon sticks his head out of the bushes and begins to yell, "Hey! Guess who's no
longer in his cell? Me, that's who!" He then notices something rather important.
"Guys... where did the two of them go?"
"Huh?" Tai and Joe said in response.
"Awwww... did you three really miss us that much?"
The three turn around to see Sora and Biyomon standing behind them, smirking. Only
this Sora was wearing a different set of clothing: a yellow sleeveless shirt and a pair of
very tight blue jean shorts.
"Spiral Twister!" Biyomon yelled, sending her attack towards Gomamon. Gomamon
tries to dodge the attack, but is unsuccessful, as he sent flying into the air and towards the
incoming ocean waves. Biyomon smiles, then stares at Tai and Joe.
"Weren't you just over there a minute ago?" a confused Tai asked Sora. "And how did
you change clothes so quickly?"
"That, my old flame, was a hologram. And this," she added, pointed to Biyomon, "is the
last time you'll see another living being alive again."
Next Episode Preview: Narrated by Kari...
What have we gotten ourselves into? I'm plummeting to my doom, Tai and Joe are about
to be on the wrong end of Biyomon's Spiral Twister, and Matt is powerless to help any of
us! How much farther will Sora, Mimi, and Catherine go to make sure we're all dead?
And when that happens, will Mimi and Catherine turn their backs on Sora? Maybe Sora
will turn the tables on them! In our next episode, this case will end, one way or the other.
In either case, a Digimon battle awaits us! Next time, it's "Meet the Detectives Kamiya,
Part 3!" Hold on... that's not the end of the series already, is it?

*****
Downtown Tokyo, among the ruins of the Hiroshima Financial Building
It had been more than half an hour since the building had collapsed. Twenty two year old
Chief Matt Ishida watched as twenty police officers and firemen searched through the
rubble to make sure no one was in the building when it had come down. He was
confident that the building had been empty, but an eyewitness had quickly dispelled that
theory. The eyewitness had claimed hearing fighting of some sort just before the
building had been destroyed.
It turned out the eyewitness was indeed correct.
"Sir," one police officer said as he ran towards me, "we just found an Agumon and a
Gatomon among the rubble."
"An Agumon? And a Gatomon?"
The police officer nods. "I think they're the same ones that just started at the station
today."
"Wait a minute... that means Kari must be somewhere in that rubble!"
"Detective Kamiya? You mean she's in there too?"
"She might be. Kamiya was trying to track down the guys who kidnapped her brother
earlier today."
"Well, I don't think her chances are too good if she was in the alley, which the two
Digimon claimed they were."
Matt gasped in shock. He had lost Tai and now his little sister was practically dead,
killed by the vile bastards who had kidnapped her brother. Matt knew how much Tai
cared about his little sister, and that he'd never forgive himself if something happened to
her. Matt decided that it was time to take action. He runs past the officer and up to the
spot where the building formerly stood. He starts to dig through the rubble personally.
As he does so, he notices a small pile of bricks and other debris moving up and down
slowly. Convinced that someone must be under there, he runs over there and starts
digging. In just mere seconds, Kari's face becomes visible under the rubble. It is
covered with gray soot. To make matters worse, she was unconscious.
"Quick!" Matt yelled to his fellow officers. "I need an ambulance! We've got an officer
down!"
Matt could then only stare at Kari's lifeless body in shock as someone went off to greet
an incoming ambulance. There was only one thought on Matt's mind...
"Please... be alive."
*****
(Begin theme song)
The siren of an ambulance wails in the background. Younger versions of Tai and Kari
are standing with their father and a hundred other mourners, all dressed in black. A
gravestone marked with their family last name, Kamiya, is on it. Kari weeps openly into
her brother's arms as a coffin is slowly lowered into a hole in the ground and then
promptly buried in dirt.
Now in present time, Tai, dressed in a gray suit with matching pants along with a white
buttoned long sleeve shirt and plain orange tie, walks out of a police station. Kari is
walking next to him, wearing the same clothes as her older brother, with the exception of
a knee length skirt in place of pants.
Meanwhile, the title screen appears...

Kari dives into a small hole in the side of the building to avoid getting burned. In another
scene, Tai motions to punch someone in the face, but he misses.
As the song comes to an end, Tai and Kari stand in front of their mother's grave. Kari
sheds a tear as she places a bouquet of flowers next to the tombstone. Tai hugs his little
sister as he looks up to the sky, knowing that their mother is now in a better place.

Episode 2 - "Meet the Detectives Kamiya, Part 2"
The automatic sliding doors leading into the emergency ward of Odaiba General Hospital
slide open as a team of paramedics and nurses run a stretcher in. On the stretcher is
nineteen year old Detective Kari Kamiya, knocked unconscious after being buried under
a building when it collapsed. How it collapsed, no one quite knew. But right now, the
main concern was making sure that she lived to tell about it.
Chief Matt Ishida followed them in, but was kept from going further at the front desk.
"I'm sorry, but only emergency personnel are allowed beyond this point," one of the
nurses said.
"You don't understand!" Matt shouted at them. "That's one of my officers!"
"Don't worry," another nurse said, patting Matt on the back, "we've got the best doctors
in the city working here. She's in good hands."
"I hope so," Matt sighed as he reluctantly gave up on trying to get in. "For Tai's sake."
Meanwhile, back at the hideout, twenty-one year old Catherine Bouveaux is lying on her
bed in her room, watching a romance movie on TV while dressed in nothing but a lime
green nightgown.
"This totally sucks," she commented. "Why don't they ever have any good romance
movies on Japanese television? Now, in Paris, you're guaranteed at least three new
romance stories every half hour!"
She reaches over to her nightstand and pulls out a three by five inch photo of Tai when he
was fifteen.
"What happened to us, mon ami?" she sighed as she pressed the photo up against her left
breast and lied back down on her bed. Then pulling it away, she began to admire it
again. "That night seemed so magical. And yet, seven years later, we're both still
single."
Catherine smiles to herself as she sits up and starts lifting her nightgown all the way to
her waist.
"I remember everything you did that night," she said as she lowered the picture to where
her nightgown had been pulled up to before sticking the portrait up it. Catherine sighed
once again as she began to finger herself, pretending that it was Tai doing it and not her.
In another room in the hideout, Sora was still dressed in the clothes she had on earlier,
but she's now putting together their plans for tomorrow night.
"It's too bad we had to spend tonight getting rid of Kari," Sora said. "There was this
great jewelry store I've been wanting to rob for ages now. But now that Kari and Tai will
be out of the way and I have all of the security plans for the store, this should be a cinch!"
She then went over to a desk drawer and pulled out a photo of Tai... the same exact one
that Catherine had.
"Tai Kamiya, you devil." Sora smiled as she looked at Tai's picture. "Why did you have
to be such a player? If only you hadn't gotten to Catherine. Cheap whores like that don't
satisfy you enough, forcing men to search for more way too often. That's why I lost you
all those years ago. I would've satisfied him without any problem."
Sora then took out a picture of Catherine from the same drawer, along with a pair of
scissors. She takes the scissors and starts cutting Catherine's photo into hundreds of
pieces. She then throws them all into her black wicker wastebasket. She then smiles
again, takes the photo of Tai, and heads for her private bathroom. Along the way, she
grabs her towel and throws off all of her clothes as she heads for the shower.
"Now you'll get to see first hand what I wanted from you on our first night."
Now, we head to the room where Joe and Tai are tied up. Well, they were tied up...
"I'm amazed how easily you got out of those ropes!" Joe commented as he handed Tai
his trench coat.
"Well, I can't be a detective without knowing how to get out of those tight situations."
"You can say that again, because those ropes weren't the only things you slipped out
of..."
"Oh, tell the whole world why don't ya?"
"So... what now?"
"We get out of here, that's what now!"
"Wait! We have to find my Digimon first!"
"Digimon? You have a Digimon?"
"Yes. His name is Gomamon. I think they have him in the holding pens on the deck
below us."
"And you know this because?"
"Mimi incoherently said so when she made out with me last night," Joe replied, blushing.
"So," Tai said with a lecherous smile on his face, "what's she like naked?"
"Like I'm telling you."
"Come on! Between friends!"
"Friends? We just met!"
"I consider a few hours together more than 'we just met.'"
Back at Odaiba General Hospital, Mr. Kamiya had just arrived. He grabs a seat next to
Matt, wondering how his daughter is.
"Well?" he asked, grabbing Matt by the trench coat, "is my daughter going to be okay?"
"I don't know," Matt replied in the only way he could, "I'm not even sure what her
condition is. They wheeled her back there about fifteen minutes ago."
"I knew this detective stuff was too risky. If she dies, you're going to get a lawsuit the
size of Osaka!"
"She was still breathing when I found her under the rubble, Mr. Kamiya. I think she'll be
just fine."
"Just fine? Just fine?! That's what the paramedics said when my wife got shot ten years
ago! But she died! She died, you hear me!"
"Mr. Kamiya! Snap out of it! She may be your daughter, but she's one of my finest
detectives. If she can't survive something like this, who would?"
Back at the hideout, Mimi stretches her arms and yawns, tired after all of the day's
activities.
"I'm glad it's going to be over with in the morning," she said. "Then I can finally ditch
Sora and go out on my own!"
She clenches her fist in anger before pounding it against the wall. "She's kept me from
reaching that potential I've always desired. But no more! After tomorrow, I'm a free
woman! No one can stop Mimi Tachikawa! I'm the girl of your desires!"
"What are you babbling about?"
Mimi turns and sees a tired Floramon, rubbing her eyes.
"Did I wake you, Floramon?" "Yes, you did. Shame on you!"
"Aren't you on guard duty tonight?" "Yeah, but I don't know why we need one. We're in the middle of nowhere."
"Tell that to Sora. She's afraid that someone will sneak in to the base and attack her."
"Why would she think that?"
Mimi then realizes that she's said too much. She walks off without saying a word.
"Mimi! Why would she think that?"
Mimi continues to ignore Floramon as she carries her stuff off to her room.
Back at the hospital, an hour or two has passed since Kari was brought in. All of a
sudden, one of the doctors comes out of the emergency room and up to Matt and Mr.
Kamiya.
"Chief Ishida? Mr. Kamiya?"
The two of them stand up and shake hands with the doctor.
"I'm Doctor Takashi Nakalana. Pleased to meet you both."
Mr. Kamiya grabs Dr. Nakalana by the shoulders and starts shaking him. "How is my
daughter? Please tell me she's alright!"
"Hold on," the doctor says, calming Mr. Kamiya down. "I just came out of the
emergency room. Your daughter is going to be okay. She had a few cuts on her arms
and legs, but it's nothing serious. We also knew that she was found unconscious,
correct?"
"That is correct," Matt replied. "She was out when I found her."
"Well, we checked her for any head injuries, but she seems to be fine. A little dazed,
that's all. I think it would be best if she stays here overnight for observation."
"Can I see her?" Mr. Kamiya asked.
"In a few minutes. They're currently moving her to one of the patient's rooms. I'll have
the nurse tell you which one once she's there. You can only go in one at a time, though,
and stay no longer than five minutes. It is after visiting hours, you know."
"Thank you, doctor."
As Dr. Nakalana walks off to see if anyone else needs assistance, Mr. Kamiya and Matt
began to debate over who should see Kari first.
"Please! I want to see my daughter first!"
"Whoa! Hold on, Mr. Kamiya! I was going to let you go first!"
"Oh... okay."
After a few minutes, the nurse points them towards Room 2207. Once they get there,
another nurse waits for them. Mr. Kamiya walks right into the room, while Matt waits
outside.
Inside the room, Mr. Kamiya finds that Kari has the room all to herself. She is lying
down on the bed closest to the window. He walks over to the bed, where Kari becomes
aware of his presence.
"Dad?"
"Sweetheart! I'm glad that you're okay!"
Mr. Kamiya reaches over and gives his daughter a big hug. As soon as her dad releases
her, though, Kari tries to get out of the bed. But she quickly discovers that her arms were
not strong enough to hold herself up. She winces in pain as her father pushes her back
into bed.
"Hold on there! You're too weak to do anything right now!"
Kari moaned dejectedly as she laid back down. She breathed a sigh of displeasure as her
father pulled the bedsheets over her.
"You know, I think it's time that you considered another line of work."
"But dad..."
"No buts, young lady! And where's your brother? I think he should quit too!"
"Actually dad, you probably don't want to know where he is."
"You mean he's hanging around with his girlfriends again?"
"Um..." Kari began hesitantly, "you could say that."
Back at the hideout once again...
"Are you sure you know the way?" asked Tai.
"Not really," replied Joe. "Just trust me."
"I'll trust you when I find some clothes to wear," Tai responded, buttoning up his trench
coat.
The two of them turn the corner, only to find Catherine standing there with a midnight
snack in hand. Joe and Tai laugh nervously as Catherine scowls at them.
*****
Joe and Tai stand frozen in fear as Catherine, wearing nothing but her lime green
nightgown, walks up to them defiantly.
"How did you get out of that room?" she asked curiously.
"That's a good question," Joe answered, turning to Tai. "How did we get out of there?"
"I used a hairpin to pick the lock, remember?"
"But I thought only girls wore hairpins."
"They do."
Tai then pulls the hairpin out of his pocket and hands it to Catherine. Tai then hugs her,
causing the girl to drop her snack... a cinnamon bun.
"Hey! I love you too, but you made me drop my snack!"
"I'm sorry, Catherine," Tai said, letting go of Catherine and then looking at her snack,
now splattered on the ground. "Gee, it looks like you won't be able to eat that any
more."
Catherine smiles. "It doesn't matter. I was only going to eat it to take my mind off of
worrying about your safety." She then begins to cry openly as she puts her arms around
Tai and starts to weep into his trench coat.
"I'm just glad that you're safe. Where did they lock you up?"
Catherine looks up and blinks curiously. "What do you mean? I was never locked up."
"Huh? Why not?"
"Because she's one of the bad guys, that's why," exclaimed Joe, jumping in.
"What are you talking about?" Tai asked, dumbfounded. "Catherine would never hurt a
fly."
"That's not true!" Catherine yelled at Tai. "I made a pretty good impression on your
head!"
Tai reaches up to touch the top of his head. For the first time, he notices the big bump
there... as well as the pain that came with it.
"Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh! My head hurts!" Tai yelled, holding his head while he ran back and
forth in front of Joe and Catherine. They sweatdrop.
"Will you calm down already," Catherine said, trying to calm Tai down.
"What did you hit me with? A two-by-four?" Tai yelled right in Catherine's face.
Catherine rubs the back of her head nervously. "Well, not exactly, but it was about the
same size."
Joe coughs to interrupt the discussion once again. "I hope you don't mind, but can we
get back to business?"
"What business?"
"If you remember, Tai, about a minute ago we established that Catherine here was not a
prisoner like us, but rather one of our captors."
"Ah. I see." Tai began to think for a few seconds. Turning to Catherine, he then says,
"Wanna take a ride on the rocket in my pocket?"
"Pardon?" Catherine replied, confused.
"Do you want to provide the cave for my snake to hide in?"
"But you don't have a snake, Tai."
Tai smacked himself in the face. He then sighed and said matter-of-factly, "Catherine,
you wanna fuck?"
Catherine smiles happily. "Why didn't you just say so? Of course!"
The two hold hands and start to walk off, when Joe jumps in their path.
"Just where do you think you two are going?"
"Weren't you paying attention? Catherine and I are going to her room so we can make
out."
"Oui."
"Hello? Are you two processing correctly? Tai, you're an officer of the law! Catherine,
you're part of a criminal gang of young women who use men to commit their crimes for
them! Can you two please tell me what is wrong with this picture?"
"I see your point," said Tai. "I guess it's not going to work out."
"I guess not," came the reply from Catherine.
"I'm glad you two have come to your senses."
"Thanks a lot, Joe."
"I guess it's time for the chase scene."
"Right. How do we start it?"
"May I?" Tai said, with an idea in mind.
Joe and Catherine nod in agreement. Tai grabs Catherine by the shoulders and leans in
as if he's going to kiss her. Joe is about to reach over and pull Tai away, when the
detective quickly grabs the straps to Catherine's nightgown and tugs them away. This, of
course, causes the nightgown to fall to Catherine's feet, leaving her completely naked.
"Run!" Tai yelled, quickly turning away to run down the hall. Joe runs after him as
Catherine instinctively uses her hands to cover herself. Once the duo disappears from
sight, Catherine gets back into her nightgown and then chases after them. By that time,
though, Tai and Joe had gotten some distance on her, so they decide to go into a nearby
room and hide for awhile. Once inside, Tai turns on the lights and then backs himself
against the door. As he tries to catch his breath, he finds himself staring at an angry Joe,
who is holding a tissue up to his bleeding nose.
"You were thinking about her, weren't you?"
"Hey! We got away, didn't we? You should be thanking me."
"I'll thank you when my nose stops bleeding."
Tai smirked at Joe. "Gee, if I knew you were going to be like that, I would have told you
to turn away before I pulled her nightgown down."
Joe gasps... and then panics as blood starts to flow out of his nose and out of the tissue.
He quickly runs to the bathroom to get some more tissue to plug his nose with.
"Something tells me that you don't see women naked often, do you?"
"Oh, shut up," came the voice from the bathroom.
Back at the hospital, Kari is now speaking with Matt.
"I'm glad that you weren't hurt."
"It was a trap. This pink haired girl attacked me."
"All by herself? She must have been pretty strong to beat the three of you up."
"She had help. Two Digimon. I believe she called them Biyomon and Palmon."
"Biyomon? And Palmon?"
"Well, that was what their names were before they digivolved into Birdramon and
Togemon and then kicked the living snot out of Agumon, Gatomon, and myself.
Speaking of which, where are they?"
"Strapped into a bed for the night, just like you are."
"At least they'll be okay." Kari then began to worry about Tai. "I wonder if..."
"I'm sure we'll find them. Don't worry. Tai can handle himself."
"Matt... my father wants me to quit the force!"
"You can't let him do that! You two are my best detectives!"
"But he's afraid we'll get hurt. Or worse..."
"Let me handle your father. You worry about getting well. I'll have the men keep a
lookout for Tai. In the meantime, you need to get your rest."
Matt begins to walk out as Kari glances up at the ceiling and tries to go to sleep. Matt
turns off the lights and closes the door on the way out.
Once again, we go back to the hideout. Tai and Joe are nowhere to be found in the dark
room where they were hiding. All of a sudden, the door opens. Mimi enters, dressed in
her pink nightgown. Palmon was with her. They were discussing the events from earlier
as they search the room.
"I can't believe you did it with twin Gotsumon!"
"Hey! It was their birthday! How could I refuse?"
"I bet you'd do it with anyone as long as they paid you for it."
"I'd do it with anyone as long as they were cute!"
"That's just like you, Mimi. You really need to get into another line of work."
"Why don't you believe in me, Palmon? You're just like Sora! You never approve of
what I do!"
"I didn't say that!"
"That's what you were implying!"
After coming up empty for what seemed like the thousandth time, Mimi and Palmon
head out of the room, turning off the lights and closing the door behind them. Seconds
later, Tai and Joe come out of their hiding place.
"That was close!" Joe said, pulling himself out from under the bed.
"Say," Tai began, following Joe out, "what do you think Mimi would look like without
that nightgown on?"
"Will you stop it with the dirty thoughts! You're going to make my nose bleed again."
"I think we should hide out for the night. Our chances of finding your Digimon and
getting out of here alive aren't very good."
"That's fine by me."
Tai looks in the closet and finds several green short sleeve shirts and numerous pairs of
khaki pants.
"We must be in Michael's room. I'd recognize these clothes anywhere."
Tai closes the closet and makes his way over to the dresser. He opens the top drawer and
finds a few white T-shirts and several pairs of shorts inside. He smiles as he unbuttons
his trench coat and lets it fall to the ground. Joe sees Tai's naked rear as the detective
reaches into the drawer and pulls out a T-shirt and a pair of navy blue gym shorts.
"Tai! For god's sakes, you're not at home!"
"Yeesh," Tai said as he put one leg into the shorts and then the other. "It's nothing you
haven't seen before."
"What are you talking about? I've never seen you naked before!"
"And let's hope you don't want to again. Besides, my point is that you have the same
body parts that I do."
"I thought we were going to stop talking about naked people!"
"Okay, I'll stop! Look, if you're so scared of me, you go sleep in the bathtub and I'll
sleep under the bed."
"What? I have to sleep in the bathtub?"
"Fine. You can sleep under the bed and I'll sleep in the bathtub."
Before Joe can object again, Tai walks into the bathroom and closes the door behind him.
Joe sighs and crawls back under the bed, making sure not to damage his glasses in the
process.
*****
The following morning at the hospital, Mr. Kamiya arrives back at Kari's room, only to
find her daughter already getting dressed in her pink short sleeve shirt and yellow
spandex shorts. Once she was done, she slipped on her shoes. She then sat down on her
bed. From the nearby table, she takes her police badge in her right hand and her cup of
mocha latte in her left. During the whole time, Kari does not notice her father's
presence.
"You're going out again, aren't you?"
"Yes," she replied, finally realizing that her dad was there. "It's my job."
"I wish you would reconsider. You aren't safe in this line of work."
"Do you think I would have taken this job if I didn't know that? Dad, you worry too
much."
"I'm afraid that I might lose both of you. After finding out that Tai was kidnapped and
that you were nearly killed, it felt like that day ten years ago."
"Matt must have told him about Tai," Kari thought. "I know you're still sad about mom
getting killed the way she did," she told her father, "but I thought we had already gotten
over that!"
"Do you remember what it was like the day your mom died?"
As Kari shakes her head no, we go back to Tai in the hideout, who is lying awake in the
bathtub. He too is thinking about that very same day. He begins to relive that day as if
he was telling Kari about it himself instead of her father...
Begin flashback sequence...
Fade in to a graveyard on a dark and stormy night. As you would expect, this isn't an
ideal night to visit a loved one's grave. Believe it or not, a figure in the background is
paying his respects to one of the graves this very night.
The individual walks up the path until he reaches a certain point. He then turns and starts
walking on the muddy grass, passing grave after grave until he reaches the one he was
looking for. Although the figure is unidentifiable from this distance, the shape of his
spiky hair is easily noticeable. He kneels down and produces a wet bouquet of pink
carnations out of nowhere. He puts it next to the grave and then begins to remember the
reason why he comes to visit it every week.
"Ten years ago. That's when it all happened."
Begin second flashback sequence...
Flashback to a nice, quiet setting of a family sitting down to dinner in their apartment.
"It was a normal day like any other."
The four family members take their respective seats at the table. The two parents, a
young nine year old girl, and a twelve year old boy... who seemed to be a younger version
of the person in the graveyard.
"We were all sitting down for dinner. We had begun to discuss the event's of the day.
You know, to hear dad complain about his boss, mom wanting to get out of the house for
once, Kari rejoicing over the A that she got on her book report, and of course, myself,
wondering if I was going to flunk sixth grade or not."
The sound of several different pairs of footsteps can be heard outside of the apartment...
and getting closer.
"Our conversation was then interrupted by the sound of several people running outside."
His mom gets up to check what the noise is exactly.
"Of course, my mom thought it was just a few troublemaking teenagers. So, she heads
for the door to try and catch them so she could report them to their parents."
His mom reaches for the doorknob as the others continued their conversation.
"When all of a sudden..."
As his mom opens the door, three teenagers run by. She looks down the hall at their
backs, getting ready to yell at them about the noise...
"Our lives were changed forever..."
A gunshot rings out in the air. Seconds later, his mom falls to the ground. Blood begin
pouring out of her head.
"Honey?" our dad said as he jumped out of his seat and ran for the door.
"Kari and I followed," the figure continued to narrate, "wondering what was going on."
His dad runs out and spots his mom down on the ground, face first. He glances in the
other direction and sees two masked robbers running down the stairs and heading off to
their car. The two children come out to look, but the father spots them.
"Stay inside, you two! Go call the police!"
"Both of us ran inside to get to the phone. My sister beat me to it, so she called the
police. And she did a pretty good job at it, too. Probably better than I could have done.
"By the time we were back outside, a small crowd had formed outside their door. Some
of the neighbors stood in shock, just watching as our mom struggled to stay alive. But
since one of our neighbors was a nurse, she was doing her best to help keep our mother
alive. She was trying every medical technique in the book... well, at least the ones she
was capable of doing given the circumstances. But it was all for naught.
"When the ambulance arrived nine minutes later, she was already dead."
End second flashback sequence...
Back to present time, a flash of lightning fills the air. For a split second, the grave that
the individual was looking at lights up. The name 'Kamiya' is easily spotted in giant
letters at the top of the tombstone. After a few seconds, a rumble of thunder can be
heard, followed by another lightning flash. This time, the camera focuses on the
individual himself. He is a twenty-two year old gentleman dressed in a brown trench
coat. His spiky brown hair sticks out in the dark cemetery like a walking zombie. His
brown eyes were filled with remorse over the loss of his mother ten years ago. It was Tai
Kamiya himself.
Tai stays there for several minutes. He continues to wonder if there was some way that
all of this could have been prevented. If only his mother hadn't gone out there to
reprimand those kids. And since the initial investigation, the police were unable to find
the masked robbers that had shot our mom or the guys that they were chasing. Because
they were wearing masks, the robbers could not be identified. As for the would-be
targets, my guess is that none of them have come forward for fear of their own lives.
For almost ten years, that case has remained unsolved. No new clues have turned up
since the police gave up on the case four months afterward.
"That's why I became a detective," Tai thought to himself. "Maybe I can find some clue
to my mother's murder that the police may have missed, lost, or overlooked. Just the
thought of one day finding the gunman himself keeps me going. Even if Matt is my boss.
Boy, I need to remember to tell him to lighten up."
End first flashback sequence...
"Now I remember why you two became detectives in the first place!" shouted Mr.
Kamiya.
"Dad, please! This is a hospital!"
"Kari, you need to realize that if there was anything more the police could have done to
find out who killed mom, they would have done it. Why not give up this false chase and
focus your energy on something else. Like going to college, for example."
"I'll go to college when I'm good and ready."
"Don't talk to me like that, young lady! I'm still your dad! You have to do what I say!"
"Yes, that's true." Kari finishes her mocha latte and throws her cup in the trash can. She
then gets up and starts to head for the door. "But I'm not a child anymore! I'm nineteen!
Shouldn't I be allowed to pursue the career of my choice?"
"Yes, but not ones that put your life in danger! Kari, are you listening to me?"
Kari goes to the desk by the door and signs the forms on the clipboard.
"I assume you've already paid for everything."
"Yes, I have dear. All they need is your signatures."
"Done. I have to go now, dad. I've got to find Tai."
"Kari!" Mr. Kamiya yelled, causing Kari to stop dead in her tracks. "If you walk out that
door, I'll never forgive you! Heck, I won't even care if you get killed out there fighting
with a criminal! You'd better come back in here if you know what's good for you!"
Kari turned her head back towards her distraught father. She could see how angry he
was. She knew that he didn't want anything to happen to her. But she couldn't just sit at
home and hope that Matt and the rest of the force would find Tai alive. She couldn't
take that risk. So Kari did the only thing she could do...
She walked out of the room.
Matt met her at the end of the hall. Kari knew that Matt had heard the entire exchange
she had with her father, so it was no surprise when he inquired about what happened.
"Are you sure you should've done that?" Matt asked.
"I'm sure," Kari reassured herself. "My dad has to learn that I can take care of myself.
Besides, who's going to find Tai if I'm not looking for him?"
"Oh, so you're implying that the rest of the force would just forget about Tai?"
"No. I'm just saying that I can't be sure that Tai will ever be found alive unless I find
him myself."
The two locate the elevator and push the down button. A minute later, the door opens
and the two enter. The elevator descends to the ground floor, without Matt or Kari
saying a single word. Once they get out of the elevator, though, Kari starts up a new
conversation.
"So, where are Agumon and Gatomon?"
"They're at the Shinka Street Station with Gabumon."
"Gabumon? Who's Gabumon?"
"Oh, that's right, you haven't met. I'll explain later. Anyway, it seems that they found
something strange there about half an hour ago. I've already sent some units down there
to assist the Digimon."
"What do you mean something strange?"
"Well, the way Gabumon puts it, he thinks that it's a portal to where he comes from...
namely, the Digital World."
"A Digi-port? Here? In Tokyo?"
*****
Flashback: Thirty-five minutes earlier...
Tai opens the door to the room he and Joe had slept in that night. He looks both ways
down the hall. No one seems to be around. He signals for Joe to follow him out. The
duo is dressed in the same clothes that they went to sleep in, except Tai is wearing his
trench coat over his borrowed set of clothing.
"Okay," began Joe, "first things first. We find where Gomamon is locked up and free
him. And then we get the heck out of here."
"Agreed. Let's just hope we can get out without one of those crazy women or their
Digimon spotting us."
Tai and Joe begin searching the hideout for Gomamon. They go into every room,
looking high and low, squeezing through every nook and cranny, and making as much as
a mess as possible to ensure that they didn't miss anything. Finally, after half an hour,
they find their way to the small prison complex on the first floor. They discover that all
of the cells are empty except for one... the one holding Gomamon.
"Gomamon!" Joe shouted to his Digimon partner. "I'm here!"
"It's about time!" Gomamon yelled impatiently. "Do you know what they've fed me the
past two days?"
"Let me guess..." Tai said, jumping in. "Slop, gruel, and mealworms, right?"
"Nothing!" Gomamon shouted as his stomach growled. "I haven't eaten anything in two
days!"
"Don't worry, Gomamon. Once we get home, you can have all the food you want."
"Then get me out of this cell! You know how much I love your family's cooking!"
Tai pulls another hairpin out of his pocket. Joe looks on curiously as Tai picks the lock.
"I thought you gave Catherine her hairpin back."
"I never said I only took one," Tai replied, winking. Tai finishes picking the lock and
opens the cell door. Gomamon instantly leaps into Joe's arms, which happened to be at
his side instead of being in position to catch him. As a result, the two fall to the ground.
"You really should know how to catch, Joe," Gomamon said, now lying on Joe's
stomach. "Then again, you never were the athletic type."
"You two can finish your reunion speeches later. Let's just get out of here."
"Who do you think you are, man? James Bond?"
"Gomamon! Tai here is a police detective."
"Really? Is he any good?"
"Am I any good? You will see just how good I am!"
Tai leads Joe and Gomamon through and out of the hideout in under three minutes. The
hideout's exit leads into a small cave, whose opening is right in front of them. The trio
walks out and discovers that the cave is in the middle of the forest.
"This is just great," Joe stated sarcastically. "How did we get in the middle of a forest?"
"You tell me," answered Tai. "I wasn't conscious when I was brought here, remember?"
"Well, neither was I!" Joe retorted back.
"Wait a second!" Gomamon butted in, sticking a paw in the air. "I think I hear
something!"
"What?" the two humans asked simultaneously.
"Be quiet! I'm trying to concentrate!"
Tai and Joe become absolutely still as Gomamon closes his eyes and begins to meditate.
He attempts to focus on the origin of the sound. Tai and Joe watch as an image begins to
form slowly in Gomamon's mind. The seal-like Digimon quickly identified the sound. It
was the crashing of a wave onto the shore. That meant that there was a beach somewhere
nearby. Gomamon now tries to pinpoint in what direction the beach was. After about a
minute, he finally locates it.
"There's a beach nearby! It's about a mile that-a-way!" Gomamon shouted, pointing in a
northwesterly direction from the cave entrance.
"We should investigate," Tai said. "We might something we can use to get out of here...
well, wherever here is."
"And the sooner, the better," added Joe.
The trio takes off for the beach. It takes them about five minutes to get there. As they
reach the end of the forest and the start of the beach, Tai quickly notices that there's
someone there. He grabs Joe and Gomamon and pulls them down behind the tall grass.
"What the..."
"Shhhhh!" whispered Tai, putting his index finger to his mouth. "There's someone out
there."
Gomamon pushes some of the tall grass aside and immediately spots who Tai is referring
to. Sora is standing about six hundred feet away from them, dressed in an orange tank
top and a knee length daffodil print white dress. And right next to Sora stood Biyomon.
But what shocked Gomamon even more is what stood behind them. Gomamon pulls
back and tells Tai and Joe of his findings.
"It's a Digi-port! We must be in the Digital World!"
"The Digital World?" asked Joe. "You mean the place where you and all other Digimon
originated from?"
"Yep, that's right!" exclaimed Gomamon. "Did anyone ever tell you that you'd make a
great detective?"
"Skip the commentary," Tai said. "If we are in the Digital World, then that portal must
lead back to the real world! We've got to get past Sora and Biyomon!"
"But how? If you remember, Sora wanted to kill us last night."
"That's right. So much for the direct approach."
"We'll just have to wait for her to leave. Then we'll make our move."
"It doesn't look like they're going to move any time soon!"
"No shit, Sherlock!"
"Hey, my name's not Sherlock!"
"Never mind."
End flashback sequence...
Back in the real world, Kari and Matt have just arrived at the scene. Several police cars
already have the area blocked off. There are about two dozen police officers trying to
keep control of the situation. Gatomon, Gabumon, and Agumon are waiting at the
staircase leading down into Shinka Street Station.
"We've been worried sick!" shouted Agumon.
"Yeah!" exclaimed Gabumon. "Where were you?"
"I had to take care of things with my dad," replied Kari.
"You sure picked a swell time to have a heart-to-heart with your father!" Gatomon said.
"Forget that!" Matt yelled. "What's the situation?"
"Someone's opened a portal to the Digiworld up on the top floor of the Tarotama
Building," came the answer from Gabumon.
"It could be a clue!" Agumon added with a smile.
"Has anything gone in or come out of it?" Matt asked.
"As far as we know, no," Gatomon responded.
"How about the occupants of the building?"
"All out, Kari."
"We'd better play it safe," Matt said. "We don't want anything bad happening." He then
turns to Agumon and Gabumon. "You two stay here. In case anything happens, I want
you two to be ready to get us out."
"Got it, sir!" responded the two Digimon, saluting their chief.
"Officer Kamiya, I would like you and Gatomon to accompany me into the building."
"Yes, chief!" Kari replied with a salute. Gatomon followed suit.
The trio ran across the street to the main entrance of the Tarotama Building. They head
in and start climbing the thirty-five flights of steps to the roof. Kari reaches the door to
the roof first, with Matt and Gatomon right behind her. All three of them are exhausted,
but they push on. Kari opens the door slowly, making sure that no one is around. Once
she assures herself of that, she walks out onto the roof.
But as soon as she does, Kari is jumped from above. Floramon jumps in as a distraction,
in order to throw Kari off guard. Palmon then uses her vines to tie Kari up while Mimi
and Catherine, dressed in their 2nd season outfits (from the TV show), kick the door
closed... right in Matt's face! Matt steps back and screams in pain, holding his now red
face. Gatomon leaps at the door and attempts to use her claws to shred it to pieces. But
it's of no use.
"Don't waste your time!" Mimi yelled from the other side of the door.
"You'll never get through as long as we're here!" shouted Catherine.
"Now," Mimi said, eyeing the helpless Kari, entangled in Palmon's vines, "let's get down
to business. You two know what to do."
Palmon and Floramon nod as they walk over towards the nearest edge. As they do, Kari
catches a glimpse of the Digi-port on the other side of the roof.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Catherine asked Mimi.
"Hey, do you want to get rid of Sora or not?" Mimi asked back.
"Yes I do, but..."
"Killing someone is just a small price to pay so we can get in Sora's good graces. And
then, when she least expects it..."
"We do the same thing to her!"
"Right! But, first things first. Palmon?"
"Floramon?"
"Dump her over the side!" the two humans said in unison.
Palmon stops walking right at the edge. Floramon gives her the signal to throw just as
Kari refocuses her attention from the Digi-port to her perilous situation. It's too little,
too late, as Palmon extends her vines a full three feet away from the roof before quickly
pulling the vines out from underneath the detective. Kari screams, paralyzed with fear,
as she freefalls towards the ground, thirty-five stories below!
At that exact moment, back in the Digiworld...
Tai, Joe, and Gomamon were formulating a plan to get past Sora and Biyomon.
"Got it?" Tai asked his two partners, who nod in reply.
Gomamon sticks his head out of the bushes and begins to yell, "Hey! Guess who's no
longer in his cell? Me, that's who!" He then notices something rather important.
"Guys... where did the two of them go?"
"Huh?" Tai and Joe said in response.
"Awwww... did you three really miss us that much?"
The three turn around to see Sora and Biyomon standing behind them, smirking. Only
this Sora was wearing a different set of clothing: a yellow sleeveless shirt and a pair of
very tight blue jean shorts.
"Spiral Twister!" Biyomon yelled, sending her attack towards Gomamon. Gomamon
tries to dodge the attack, but is unsuccessful, as he sent flying into the air and towards the
incoming ocean waves. Biyomon smiles, then stares at Tai and Joe.
"Weren't you just over there a minute ago?" a confused Tai asked Sora. "And how did
you change clothes so quickly?"
"That, my old flame, was a hologram. And this," she added, pointed to Biyomon, "is the
last time you'll see another living being alive again."
Next Episode Preview: Narrated by Kari...
What have we gotten ourselves into? I'm plummeting to my doom, Tai and Joe are about
to be on the wrong end of Biyomon's Spiral Twister, and Matt is powerless to help any of
us! How much farther will Sora, Mimi, and Catherine go to make sure we're all dead?
And when that happens, will Mimi and Catherine turn their backs on Sora? Maybe Sora
will turn the tables on them! In our next episode, this case will end, one way or the other.
In either case, a Digimon battle awaits us! Next time, it's "Meet the Detectives Kamiya,
Part 3!" Hold on... that's not the end of the series already, is it?
