Chapter 5

Lisa's POV

It was strange everyone walked on eggshells, apparently the news over best Jeanist was still humming around, many had whispered about it, everyone had been on edge the movement from the villains league and what happened with All Might retiring and also Endeavor spending a good weak in the hospital too only showed that the heroes weren't doing so hot, now the number three hero was missing, the negativity could be felt in the air.

My day of paperwork, rushing around on orders of doctors and nurses increased as we had more people come in from a car accident, I had gone with Doctor June every time she did surgery it was best for me to sit back and watch over her shoulder. I also was allowed to do close ups after she did the majority of the harder and dangerous work, however I needed to pass my license to use my quirk within the work force, helping out the now missing hero was on the side and would help…'fast track' that process of paperwork. My day got more complicated as detectives came into the hospital asking around for Doctor June and myself. We were paged over to them "hello officers how can we help yous today?" Doctor June was in her late forties and very professional, typically I stood back watching her proceed and how she handled patients, family and friends, co-workers, heroes and now authority figures. "Ah you are Doctor June correct and this must be your intern Miss Lisa Toshiro," she nodded "that's correct, may I ask what this is pertaining to, and we do have a full ER requiring our attention." The tall dark haired and dark eyed man in a long cream coloured coat and hat nodded and was very sincere with a smile on his face, with him was a mutant man with a cats head of orange stripes, "we will need to go somewhere no one will barge in or overhear us." The look on his face of how grave it was and his lowered tone made June give him a serious look with a curt nod she said "come with me to my personal office," he spoke up "you too Miss Toshiro," I nodded and followed along as the two officers brought up the rear.

"I am detective Naomasa Tsukauchi and this is Officer Sansa Tamakawa we are currently working the missing case of Best Jeanist and part of his schedule for today was to come see you about his medical condition." Doctor June nodded "yes it was pertaining to his injury sustained in that horrific attack," he nodded "truth alright then, his agents stated that due to confidentiality between Best Jeanist and you two I was to come and with a warrant, we understand this is protocol, so here we are." He produced a piece of paper, by the look on June's face I knew after stating about his appointment with us that she was about to go on about confidentiality and the need for said warrant, however instead she picked up the phone and spoke into it so all of us could hear. "Director I have a detective Naomasa here and Officer Sansa with a warrant, I will need you to verify and be present as myself and my intern are down on it to answer questions and hand over medical records for one Tsunagu Hakamata aka Beat Jeanist." She made some humming agreement noises and then hung up, "Director Tsugaki will be hear shortly I suggest you two take a seat, he will also be grabbing the full file on the patient yous are enquiring about," the tall man nodded "thank you Doctor June." He took a seat, it was a tense silence I wondered if I would be in trouble for the way we were going about getting my license and working on a hero without one would be grounds for punishment.

I was antsy the moment they asked for us two, I tried not to show it, it was easy by looking away and instead trying to think about what to buy mum for Christmas instead, "your awfully quite Miss Toshiro," I looked up to the detective and tried to not show how anxious I was. "Just thinking about what to get my mother for Christmas…we already decorated our apartment last night already in the festive spirit," I smiled as he nodded. I had heard about him he could tell if one was lying or not, 'lie detector' was his quirk and very spot on. The door opened as the two stood shaking hands and showing their badges to the Hospital Director as he held a manila folder, "nice to meet yous," he seemed rushed in a way. He then took up the warrant from June and looked it over nodding and soon a knock on the door had Director Tsugaki opening it and introducing "our lawyer Mr. Tsugo, he will be sitting in and making sure the parameters of the warrant here is met." The two nodded their heads with no issue to that we all had a seat I was right next to June, Sansa and Naomasa on the other side of the desk and on either end of the desk playing as mediators was the director and lawyer.

"Okay shall we begin…tell me what was it exactly that Mr Hakamata was coming here to see you for?" June did most of the talking to my relief, "he was coming to get further treatment for his missing lung, however he has been missing and of course we have not heard about him or from him about this appointment which he has missed for obvious reasons." The detective nodded as Sansa jotted things down for him, it was like a routine they had down to pat, "tell me the type of treatment seeing recovery girl herself couldn't even treat him and that is with her quirk too," June nodded "yes you see Recovery Girl's quirk cannot grow back an organ thus she could not help him, but she is not the only one with a quirk of healing nature, Mr. Hakamata was consulting with us as we believed we had an effective treatment for his injuries." Without a pause he shot his next question off "and this treatment would it give him a replacement lung or regrow one?" "Re-growth, we had hoped, the results were to be seen for the first time, so we had no clue as to just how efficient it would be." "Was it to be a quirk that would fix this and if so who?" she was a little straighter "yes a quirk would be the only thing capable of regrowing an entire organ detective," he nodded but was cut off the lawyer speaking up. "Detective Naomasa you are investigating the disappearance of Mr. Hakamata not into the staff, we would like you to respect the privacy of said staff and their quirks my client takes confidentiality very seriously…" "As do I however I am searching for a kidnapper or possibly a murderer and thus so far we have come up on nothing this was the last place also put into his personal schedule to can see why we need to know who it was with the quirk."

The Director spoke up "if anything why would someone with a healing quirk kill a hero before they go to bring him to 100% health, that just makes no sense and I do not believe anyone I have employed at my hospital is capable of such a terrible crime, I would kindly appreciate it if you cease your questions effective immediately and produce a new warrant that will cover the release of said information, as stated we take privacy seriously at this hospital." It was eerily quiet and I knew right at that moment that 1 the officers knew something, 2 what I was to do for Best Jeanist was not 'legal' and 3 the hospital had put their neck out for him and myself and hence why the director himself had stepped in. I swallowed and the tension was so thick however the Detective and officer nodded with relaxing smiles "very well, I am sorry for over stepping, we will be back with appropriate paperwork; in the meantime if anything pertaining to the case should become known please contact me immediately a life is depending on it." The director took his offered card and nodded shaking his hand "I shall if anything comes to my attention, thank you and have a good day," the two left and we all stayed seated as eerily quiet as we were when the director stopped the two of them from furthering their questions.

I huffed out a sigh "so what we were going to do for him was not legal even though it was the right thing to do?" I looked to the three in the room as they looked to me, June and the Director nodded also looking down as if saddened and worried, the lawyer leaned over and whispered in his ear. Director Tsugaki looked to me "Miss Toshiro, I think you have done great work here, for now though take the day off and head home enjoy your Christmas break and prepare for your next year…" he smiled "after all next year you will be picking up more hours here…enjoy the time off while you can." He winked to me, I smiled and nodded "yes sir, thank you, I will see yous in the new year," "good bye," I collected my items from Doctor June's office and headed off, I knew they needed to get rid of me and I would and should lay low, I won't stress about it.
