Domino City Confidential 7

I don't own Yugioh or LA confidential, which is a great movie by the way.

Chapter seven – Whatever you desire

Pegasus had called the meeting and gathered Vice, Narcotics and the detective bureau into the briefing room. Bakura was sitting alone at a table at the back, Kaiba was hunched against a wall right next to the door, and Ryou was sitting by himself at the very front of the room. Kaiba had been a celebrity crime stopper in the city of Domino, admired by many for his contribution to the hit show criminal minds. But after bloody Christmas, Kaiba had been told to turn down his profile for the while. He had been transferred from narcotics to vice until he made a major case, and Kaiba was hoping the Sight Towel massacre would make him a star again.

"This is a heinous crime gentlemen, that must have swift justice." Said Captain Pegasus, addressing the room. "One of our own, Joey Wheeler, was murdered and we will be doing all we can to avenge him. We happened to have a hot lead so listen well."

Ryou straightened up a bit. He was hated by the men since he snitched on Wheeler, and was looking for a chance to redeem himself.

"Three juvenile delinquents were spotted around the Sight Towel around 1am, just twenty minutes before the bodies were discovered. They are said to be driving a maroon mercury coop, and are in possession of three shotguns, used for the murders." Continued Pegasus. "I want two man teams to shake three names a piece from the sheet we are handing out. The people of Domino demand that we catch these killers, now let's do it. That is all."

An officer approached Kaiba with the sheet and asked for him to be his partner.

"Look Gus," said Kaiba, glancing around. He dropped his voice and said. "If we do it this way," he waved the sheet, "we're never gonna get anywhere. I'm betting that this guy I know just south of Thresher Avenue can point us in the right directions."

"I don't like those odds Kaiba." Said the officer shaking his head.

"I do." Said Ryou appearing behind Kaiba. He snatched the sheet from the officer's hand and said, "We can take it from here, c'mon Kaiba."

Kaiba made a face, but followed after Ryou.

Meanwhile Bakura, who had refused all offers of partnership for the task had left the station an angry man. He was going to research this case of star look-alikes, and he knew where he was going to start.

"Are you Zigfried Von Schrauder?" yelled Bakura down to the man playing golf in his splendid back garden.

"I am." Said Zigfried look up to see who had said it. "Go on down to ze drive vay officer, we shall talk zere.

Bakura met Zigfried in the driveway, however Zigfried was not alone. His bodyguard was very tall and muscular. Bakura could see his gun very obviously hanging by his side loosely in its holster.

"What happened to the other guy that worked for you? Tristan the dope."

"Dopey Taylor no longer works for me. Now what can I do for you Mr…?"

"Officer Mcflyerson. Do you know Susan Lefturns?"

"Yes, you saw me with her Christmas Eve, remember?"

"Yeah well she died in a mass murder last night, so would you care to explain your whereabouts?"

Zigfried smiled and walked over to his terrific view over Domino City. Bakura followed, waiting for an answer to his question.

"How did you find me?"

"This is where Mai Valentines booze bills go to. I take it she works for you?"

"Yes." Said Zigfried shortly.

"And so did Susan Lefturns?"

"Right again!" said Zigfried joyously, hoping up and down.

"Stop fucking patronizing me, and tell me your fucking whereabouts last night." Said Bakura angrily.

"I was here hosting a party."

"If you don't start helping me out with this I'll drag your ass down town to discuss this officially."

"What do you want."

"Let's start with your profession."

"Well if you're not interested in criminal matters outside of the sight towel massacre I suppose I could level with you."

Bakura rose an interested eyebrow at this. "Go on."

"I run prostitution. Girls fixed up to look like movie stars. Sometimes I have to employ a plastic surgeon."

"So that's why Susan Lefturns eyes were black. Jesus Christ."

"That's all you're getting. Said Zigfired, starting to walk away. "If you catch Susan's killer, you can have a nice reward." He stopped as he reached the garage door with his bodyguard. He pressed the button to lower the door. "Whatever you desire!" Then he disappeared behind the door, leaving Bakura wondering what to do now.
