"We have breaking news! There has been verification that Akamatsu has another victim taken hostage. Wait... Now he is projecting the inside of the office where he has barricaded himself."

"People of Las Heika City, here you have Herbie Magano, one of the ministry of finance's deputy chair. Now you may ask: what does he have to do with the 200 Trillion yen deficit our country is facing. Well, here folks. What you see here in print is the budget for public securities. In its thick binding, we have earmarks. An earmark is an item that is inserted into a bill to direct funds to a specific project or recipient without any public hearing or review. One of the problems is that there is no transparency or accountability in the system. These are for pet projects for his buddies. "

"Those projects are important for the public good. They spur the economy."

"For this, let's have a little show and tell, Now show us how we benefit from each of these three projects and who has to bear the burden."

Silence pervaded the building.

"The first one is the orbital elevator initiative. Now's not the time for focusing on heavenly pipe dreams that take public taxes away from those who are hurting on the ground."

"We have to stay ahead of the world curve in technology to continue being a world force. We have a broad outlook." Was Magano's reply.

"That's not good enough."

"Next pet project is..."

...

"We're running out of time. He's on the second project and we're assuming that he's going to end with the third one by Akamatsuing the guy," I, Light Yagami, shouted into my headset while the other JACL made it to the office."

I was on a helicopter seeing if I could get a first person view of Akamatsu from outside. I did. He was adorned in the same outfit and had the same physique as the recovered bodies.

"Quick, I need him before his mask busts."

The tactical team shot down the door but the moment has already passed.

"He must have had help. Search the premiss for any evidence of how he managed to infiltrate and have access to the building."

To Falcon, " See if anything suspicious happened in the area from the satellite feed and keep an eye for this guy."

I send him the electronic picture of the guy. "It's the person who we have a DNA match with."

"Right," was his response from over the head set.

There's no way we can detain all of the ministry so I waited for a response from Falcon.

"That can't be! We have the guy at two places art once and at one of them he waves at the areal. Quick he's outside in a van now.

"We got trouble. He's locked down the building," Tsunamori Akane informed us over the intercom. "You have to follow him yourself in the heli."

"Falcon, send me the coordinates ." I shouted with my heart pounding.

I have a chance to contact this guy.

"He's headed towards the river." I said to the pilot after the deed came to my laptop.

Wait! No!

The van drove into the river and shortly cane the splash of the car exploding.

" Bring me to the bank. I'm going in to look for the body," I dove in the bank and swam to the wreckage.

No body.

He must have swam nearby. I saw a sewage entrance on the opposite end. I took the chance.

Entering the opening, I called out, "I want to talk with you. If you turn yourself in things will be easier."

"That so Mr. JACL."
