The sun was high in the sky by the time Dojima made it to the office. With a shopping bag slung over her shoulder, the first thing Dojima noticed was Michael. Lying with his head resting on his keyboard, he had obviously spent the night up researching.
Glancing around the office, Dojima saw that there was no one was else in the office. That's strange. They must all be on a hunt or something.
Or maybe not, she thought as she cocked her head to listen to a faint shuffle of footsteps coming from the briefing room. Letting her bag slip off onto her chair, Dojima walked to the briefing room to find Robin heading for the door. Perfect.
Deliberately standing in the doorway, blocking every possible exit, Dojima asked casually, "Going somewhere?"
Robin was putting a stack of papers on the table and seemed not to notice that she was cornered. "I was just going to research some more on this case. It's strange. There have been a number of victims that were all killed in the same way, but there haven't been any suspects that we can find." She stood up straight once more and walked towards another stack of papers.
Dojima smiled in a satisfied way, unnoticed by Robin. "Wow, that is strange. Well, I hope you find the guy." She turned as if to leave, but shifted back to Robin and said in what was supposed to be an offhand way, "Oh, by the way. You wouldn't happen to know anything about where Amon was, would you?"
The look on Robin's face at that moment confirmed any doubts Dojima may have had that she wasn't involved. She glanced longingly at the door, obviously searching for any escape.
"I..."
At that exact moment, Chief Kosaka bustled into the room. "Well, it's a pleasure to see you here, Dojima." His eyes flashed dangerously and she tried to make her expression as innocent as possible. "Now that you're finally here, I have some work for you to do."
"But, Chief..." Dojima began, trailing off at his furious look. Muttering under her breath she headed out of the briefing room, leaving an extremely relieved looking Robin.
Michael woke up in time to see Dojima storming out of the office while glaring back at Kosaka. He rubbed his eyes, yawned, and put on his glasses which had fallen to the floor.
"Michael, what were you doing? Sleeping!?" Kosaka shot angrily in his direction, not that Dojima had left the building. He shook his head irritably before saying, "Never mind. That's not important now. The police have just informed me that they have found a suspect for that string of murders we have been investigating. He's currently at an old warehouse across town. Get someone on it now." With that he stormed out of the office.
"Uh...okay. I'll call the others and see if they can investigate now." Michael said to Kosaka's retreating form.
"You don't have to Michael."
Michael turned around abruptly to see Robin, her face unnaturally pale, walking towards the door. "I'll go."
"Wait, Robin you can't go by yourself. This guy's killed about thirteen people; it would be way too dangerous to confront him by yourself. It'll only take me a few minutes to contact the others—" But she had already gotten into the elevator.
"Dammit."
Writing the last chapter. Probably have it ready by tomorrow or really soon.
