Chapter 2: The Condition

"So when do we start?" Kazuki asked "wait.." Arisu said looking at everyone, her eyes started to show concern "there is one condition before I actually pay" "and what would that condition be?" Jubei asked. Arisu took a deep breath and said "I have to come with you guys", everyone was dumfounded, they were just plainly staring at her as though she was crazy "you have got to be kidding" Shido said "Either that you want to commit suicide" Himiko said as she stood up "No, I am not joking around" Arisu said plainly, her icy blue eyes stared to show both anger and concern. Tare- Ginji started to wave his arms up and down frantically and said "You have got to be joking!! It will be to dangerous for you to handle!!" "I just want to see with my own two eyes what happened to the missing person and is they are alright" she said "Well...." Ban started "If you are willing to take the risk" "Yes, I am" "Then you can come, Arisu". Everyone's attention was now on Ban who was smiling like there was absolutely no problem. Arisu smiled, feeling a bit more cheerful "Ban-can!!" Tare-Ginji started but Himiko stopped him by stuffing his mouth with a ham sandwich.

Everyone was now standing in front of Hinky Tonk, Arisu was looking around for something "what are you looking for, Arisu" Kazuki asked, Arisu stood up after checking a stone near the plants and holding what looks like a small microphone "Someone was eavesdropping on our conversation" she said "How did you find that?" Ginji asked "I could feel a small energy wave coming from somewhere" she answered and soon crushed it. "Where exactly is this person being held?" Jubei asked "I found an old abandoned building near Infinity City or whatever it is called and I think that's where the person is", Ginji nearly tripped over his own shoes when Arisu mentioned Infinity City "Di..did you just say Infinity City??" he asked nervously "yes" Arisu answered "But you said near not in right?? Ginji asked again "Yes, near not in Infinity City" Arisu said again. They were just plainly walking until Kazuki asked "How far is our destination?" "Its just a walking distance" Arisu answered "So it wont take that long"

4 ½ hours later..... "Walking distance....yeah...right" Himiko panted, Ginji collapsed (not fainted), Shido, Kazuki and Jubei were out of breath, Ban was checking if his legs wer still intct and, for an odd reason, Arisu was the only one standing "Well.. that was a walking distance for me" she said with a nervous smile.

Arisu was soon looking at the old building she mentioned before. 5 minutes of rest, "So this is the place?" Shido asked "yup" Arisu answered "From the looks of it we can get in easily" Ginji said "I don't think so" Kazuki said "and why is that?" Ban asked, Kazuki was soon pointing above him and they saw a bird flying by and the moment it got near the roof... it got shot. The bird soon fell near Arisu and she knelt down to observe the bird's wound. She stood up and said "this bird wasn't shot by an ordinary gun" "Nani?{1}" Himiko said in confusion "Well, whatever the gun was it did not only shoot the bird but took a sample of its DNA" "and you know that how?" Shido asked "I have seen the results before" everybody was looking at her (again).

Everyone was now looking at the old building, "So how are we going to get in?" Ginji asked "Maybe you could short circuit the security system, Ginji" Kazuki said "yes, but you forgot one thing Thread Spool" Ban said "and what would that be, Ban?" Kazuki asked "The main power switch that...." "Found it!" Arisu shouted, she was kneeling down and was brushing off dort of a small box "Go ahead, Ginji" Kazuki said, smiling "Baka.. {7}" Ban muttured...BZZZT!!!
