Chapter 4: Discovering the Scene of the crime
Kaji was sitting in his office watching security footage from two days ago
"Here we go."he'd found what he was looking for, there was Shinji as he entered headquarters and followed him as he entered one of the elevators, switching to another camera he watched as Shinji exited the elevator and walked along the corridors towards the locker room,
'It's seven corridors from the elevator to the pilots locker room, journey takes about twenty five minutes to make the journey.' he blinked for a moment, when he saw a man walking about twelve feet behind Shinji, he saw him take out a cell phone out of his jacket. Then suddenly just when Kaji thought he'd got his guy he saw him turn a corner just after he'd finished his call and in the corridor exactly thirty seconds before Shinji would have arrived at the locker room static
"Damn it." Kaji cursed as he slammed his hand onto the desk. Rubbing the bruise on his hand Kaji looked at the scene on his computers again, it was getting very late and he was tired
'Ok. Shinji's attack must have taken place somewhere near the locker room...' he picking up the phone
"Hi, I need to speak with the head of section 2…yes I'll hold..." after a few minutes a voice was heard at the other end "Hi, is that Cpt Malcolm it's Ryoji Kaji I was wondering if you could spear a few of your men…why, I need to conduct a search of the area surrounding the pilots locker room…you can, thanks. It'll take place tomorrow morning." Shutting everything down Kaji prepared to go home when the door to his office open and in front of him was Gendo Ikari
"Commander, to what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?" not waiting to be invited in Gendo strolled in and at behind Kaji's desk in his trademark pose
"Hello Mr Kaji, may I come. Of course have a seat." Kaji muttered to himself "Sorry about the mess, the cleaning service were supposed to show up today." The cheery smile however forced vanished from his face when he received no reply "So what can I do for you?"
Gendo reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper, which Kaji recognised as the note he'd found on Shinji's body
"I'm aware you've already read this so you know who sent it, don't you."
"SEELE."
"Yes. You know why they did this."
"Because thing aren't happening the way they'd like it too, there telling you to straighten up and fly right as it were."
"The old fools are so dependent on their precious time table, the 'Dead sea scrolls' they fail too see what's going on around them." There was a lengthy pause between the two men
"Is there a reason you're here?" Kaji asked not wanting to be in the mans presence longer then necessary
"I'm here to get an update on your investigation, I haven't heard anything." The Commander replied
"Because I got nothing right now. Tomorrow me and a few of the lads from Section 2 are going to search the area around the pilot's locker room, try and find the scene of the crime. It should give us a starting point."
"I see." Gendo replied as he rose from the chair "Inform me if you find anything." He exited leaving Kaji staring at the door
"Yes sir." he muttered as he exited the room himself.
'Misato is up late again.' Asuka was lying on her bed staring at the light from kitchen seeping through the cracks in her door 'not that sleeping is an option at the moment, she hasn't gotten a descent nights sleep since Shinji was attacked, I know I haven't.' she didn't know all the details but it unnerved her to think that someone would do something so evil on another living being.
Misato sat at the kitchen table occasionally glancing at Shinji's room, anyone who knew her could tell something was wrong 1st she didn't have a can of beer in her hand or a small mountain of empties beside her the 2nd was that she'd been pretty quiet as of late, she hadn't been her usual upbeat self which came across in nearly everything she did (including her driving). She knew that just sitting at her kitchen table wasn't going to help Shinji in anyway but she couldn't think of what else to do, was there really anything that she could do, was there really anything that anybody could do.
No, in the end it all came down to Shinji, whether or not he wanted to come back and, as it was pretty obvious to her that with all the crap he had to deal he really didn't have anything to come back too or anything to look forward to except more pain, hurt and self doubt, being ignored by his father, enduring Asuka's never end insults and put down, Ritsuko treating him like a lab rat, piloting Eva which he hated and worse of all her, she was hardly innocent in this, the moment he'd arrived in her place she'd unloaded all responsibility for maintaining the place onto him, she'd made her life easier by making his difficult and when Asuka moved in it didn't get any better.
"Well that's gonna change as soon as he comes back." She said to herself in a determined voice "Shinji, when you get back I promise your life will get better."
With that resolve fresh in her mind Misato headed to her room turning off the light as she went, the possibility of getting a decent amount of sleep wasn't almost laughable but she could at least try.
Kaji was sat at his desk again it was five a clock in morning the night shift would be going home soon and the day shift wouldn't replace them until seven, though he'd gone home himself only five hours again but everything time he closed his eyes he would see his brothers face which would the morph into Shinji's. Funny Shinji kinda looked like his younger brother Ojiro strange how he never noticed it before suddenly a sinister thought crept into his head
'Was Shinji doomed to suffer the same fate as Ojiro?' a knock at the door brought Kaji back to reality
"Come in." he said as he prepared to lit his fifth cigarette in the last hour, in strolled Captain Malcolm, head of Section 2 he was a man in his late forties/early fifties with brown hair that was beginning to grey and wearing an expensive hand made suit
"I was told I could find you here." He said to Kaji's back "Through I never had you pegged as an early riser."
"I couldn't sleep," Kaji said as he turned to face the man "and when I can't sleep I try to focus my energies on something else. But your already aware of that aren't you."
"Just doing my job, it's nothing personal." Malcolm said as he approached Kaji and snatched the lit cigarette out of his mouth "These will kill you." He then put it in his mouth and took a long drag on it
Kaji looked at the man, he really didn't like him but right now he couldn't be too picky about who he worked with. Soon as the men needed arrived the search around the area adjacent of the pilots changing room began they where told to report to either Kaji or the Captain if they found anything and not to touch any evidence.
After an hour they'd received a call that one of the teams had found something in one of the disused rooms about twenty minutes from their present location, when they got there they where greeted by three men standing outside and another man dusting the manual release mechanism
"Have the CSI's begun their analysis?" Kaji asked,
"Yes sir, they're already searching the place." one of the men replied entering Kaji saw four men going over every square inch of the room.
"What" have we got Captain Malcolm asked
"Well we've blood over a wide area of the floor which is a pretty good bet belongs to the third child but where going to test it to see if there's anything else mixed in, plus we've got more then one set of foot prints on the floor so we going to guess there was more then one person involved. We've also got some hair which we can test for DNA." He then held up an evidence bag containing a small medicine bottle "And we also found this, inside is some granules of powder that looks like it came from some sort of tablet."
"Better run that to Ritsuko when she gets in, I wouldn't be surprised if they are the same as the tablets Shinji coughed up." Kaji said he then left the room lighting up another cigarette as he left
'We found the crime scene, it's a start. I can catch these people but the rest is up to you kid.'
He then headed back to his office to prepare a report of the evidence collected for the Commander.
Gendo Ikari sat at his desk listening to the latest on the update from Kaji's investigation from Sub Commander Fuyutsuki
"So he's found a crime scene." He said in his usual tone "When will he get the results of the forensic analysis?"
"He believes he'll have it in a few days."
"I see. You're dismissed." Fuyutsuki turned to leave but stopped just short of the door
"Your not going to go see him are you?" he asked
"I believe that Mr Kaji can handle this investigation, besides it'll give him something to do." Gendo replied,
"I wasn't refuting to Mr Kaji" Fuyutsuki said still facing the door "I know seeing your son him causes you a lot of pain Gendo but he's the only physical link you have left to Yui, and I do know the least you can do is go and see him even if its just once."
He then exited the room leaving Gendo alone in the cavernous room, slowly Gendo removed his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose, he then opened his desk draw he'd lied to his son the day they'd visited Yui's grave together he'd told Shinji he'd thrown away all the pictures of his beloved wife inside the draw was the only one left, it was of all three of them taken not long after Shinji was born
"Yui." He said in a quiet voice.
Well that was chapter 4, sorry if its not what you expected but I've been working on other stuff and motivation for this has been limited as of late so if you've got any suggestions check my profile for my e-mail adress and send them to me. Send me your comments cos I love reading them, for infomation on Kaji's brother read Vol 7 of the Manga, also it dosen't mention his name so I had to make that part up. If I owned Eva I'd never have to work a day in my shallow life, I'll update as soon I can, Peace.
