Chapter 3: Imposter pt2

About a week later 'Togusa' was visited by Major. Major was suspicious of this man. The man made himself look as though he was very unhappy. Major walked into the room. There was one nurse in the room. She had just finished checking Togusas' vitals to make sure he was okay. The nurse looked up at Major and said "Would you like a moment?"

"Yes that would be nice."

The nurse walked out, her brown hair flowing behind her. It was a wonder she wasn't a robot. The man looked up. His real name was Katzi Shinbaru, leader of the renegade team.

"They say they'll be letting you out in a few hours." Major said looking towards the table next to Katzis' bedside. There was a bottle of pain killers and a cup of water on top of the table. Katzi took a glance to the table also. He gave a smile and made sure he made it look like Togusas'. Major looked back to Katzi.

"Yes I know. They said I should be off my feet for a few days…"

"Once you're on your feet again if you wish you could take a bit of a vacation for a few days…Considering what has happened," Major sighed pausing for a moment. "Unless you feel up to coming into work…You can get information at the base but, no reconoscience till then."

Once the explanation was finished Katzi gave a stern look. He made it look as though he was thinking about what Major had said.

"Maybe I should go to the base. Take my mind off…everything." Katzi said. His acting was perfect.

"Its your decision."

"Of course boss. Thank you." Katzi nodded.

Major smiled slightly and took her leave. A few moment later Katzi looked back to the T.V. "It's going to be a long day." he muttered with a smile.

A few hours later Katzi came out on a wheelchair. Katzi had to pretend he was injured. He wasn't. Togusa was. As for the young brown haired man, he was somewhere no one would look. Katzi smiled to himself. Dr. Surey Shirmoi came in early. He passed Katzi on the way out. They gave a small short 'hello' and each gave a silent message. Lets talk over doughnuts or 'Meet me in front of the house.' was more the translation. Katzi and Surey had there own agreement about the incidents. Surey was going to get a big sum of money. Katzi was going to get what he always wanted. He had a real reason for doing all these felonies. Important things.

Major walked into Section 9s' base and continued until she found Batou.

"Batou, have you gotten anything yet?" she asked placing her hands against a table.

"Nothing." He answered. His face held that angry look again; just as he had been when they had found Togusa at S.I.G. Batou turned to her. He had been looking out the window at the incoming traffic. It was quiet for a while. Nothing moved. The only sounds that were heard were the car horns blaring outside. Finally Batou sighed.

"Actually…We have only one more suspect. Katzi Shinbaru, the leader of the renegade operations. Seems he has a lot of history with smuggling activity. The rest is shady business that we can't dig up." Batou explained briskly. His face was still rigged with that same stern look.

Major sighed heavily. She glanced up at Batou then at a newspaper on the desk than back at Batou. She read the title of the newspaper. In broad big letters it said:

Detective Released From Hospital

Major glanced down at the articles in the Newspaper. Not even a bit about the doctor who treated Togusa. Well that was expected. Major looked back at Batou. He shrugged noticing the Newspaper. They walked down one of the corridors while Major gave her assumptions. There were a few doors they passed; the offices of some of the subordinates, a communications room, and the information 'center'. Major told Batou about how strange Togusa had been acting. He didn't seem like himself.

"I don't know Batou. It just didn't seem like him."

"It could have just been what has been going on. But, it does sound like he has snapped. You say he smiled today after you left?"

"I just glanced at the window and saw him. He had looked back at the T.V and gave a strange smile."

"That is unusual. Possibly going a bit deranged, if you know what I mean."

Major shook her head and passed through the blue doors in front of them. She turned to her left and went into one of the rooms. Batou waved and walked off saying something about the Tachkomas. The chief sat at his desk. Arimaki looked up from his work. "Major? Any leads on the case?"

"One…Katzi Shinbaru is the leader of the renegade squad. We know the name of the group now too. They are called 'The Cyber Net'."

Arimaki frowned at this. "What would a renegade group want anything to do with the cyber world? They are against cyber net use. Correct?"

Major nodded and answered "Maybe they are a different renegade group against officials who are corrupt?"

"I thought you had enough information to know all this Kusanagi."

Major gave a smile. "I guess not."

It was dark as Katzi came up to the debris. At the time he wasn't using his masking of Togusa. His dark hair was pulled back into a ponytail. He wore a black sweatshirt and black sweat pants. Surey wasn't there yet. Then the man pulled in with his car. It was a gray color. Someone would think it was just a normal car. Underneath the hood and in the sides were missile launchers and guns. Machine guns were a favorite. Surey muttered one word "In"

Katzi got in and said "Anything we have to worry about?"

"Section 9 is on to us Katzi."

"I see. There aren't very suspicious of me. My role is doing well. I fear that it wont go so well once I'm in the base."

"Well hope it does chief, For the both of us."

"Yes…Your money and my family."

"Have they done anything to them yet?"

Katzi shook his head. They were going through the tunnel now. Shadows were lit up by the headlights. A red car passed by. It looked familiar. Katzi looked at the license plate: 15G-7IH. The plate number wasn't familiar. Katzi looked back to Surey through the rear-view mirror. Surey gave a smirk.

"No but if I keep it this way they will."

Surey nodded suddenly somber. "I understand. I hope you get help for them boss. I wouldn't want to see my family captured…if I had one that is…"
