Kurosawa

From behind a pair of sunglasses and a newspaper, Toru Kurosawa watched the door to the detective agency while his coworker, Seiji Goto, watched him.

"Why are we here? We have actual work to do that doesn't involve tailing our boss." Goto asked.

"Come on, Chief Ishigami's been acting strange and you've noticed it too. And, a detective agency? What does he need to do that he can't with the police system?" Kurosawa argued, "What if it's an affair?"

"An affair by whom? Akemi's in there with him!"

"Shhhh, I think they're coming out!" Kurosawa tried to stop the scolding from progressing as the door to the run-down agency opened. Instead of the Ishigamis, however, two men came out with scowls on their faces. To his surprise, they approached him and Goto.

"Excuse us, sirs, but would you mind explaining why you are hanging around our workplace?" A blonde man asked. He was smiling in a way that didn't reach his eyes and gave Kurosawa the creeps.

"We didn't mean to cause any trouble, we're just on our way." Kurosawa said, smiling back in an innocent way. The two men didn't seem convinced.

"Then you can head on your way now." The other man, a redhead, said. He glared at them outright. From behind him, Goto sighed.

"Then, let's go Kiri…"

"What are you two doing here?" Kurosawa gulped at the familiar voice, more intimidated by it than the two men who had come outside to get rid of him to. He hesitantly looked over to see Ishigami glaring at him, looking absolutely furious. "Boss. What a coincidence, we were just about to, uh…"

"Spy on me? Blow off your work?" Ishigami asked, looking down his nose and causing Kurosawa to hide behind Goto for protection. By Ishigami, Akemi just looked slightly amused, which meant she wasn't about to save them. That was scary in its own way.

"You know them?" The redheaded detective asked.

"Yes, thank you Nanoharu-san, Wakaba-san, we'll be in your debt from now on." Akemi said, bowing slightly. Ishigami followed suit, and the two headed back inside hesitantly.

"Sorry, Chief. We did follow you." Goto said, seriously. Kurosawa glared at him, knowing that he would receive no support and much suffering for this.

"So, will you tell us why you're here?" Kurosawa asked, not giving up on the mission.

"Kurosawa, instead of gossiping, I suggest you return to the office as soon as possible. I've suddenly thought of a great deal of paperwork you have to get done tonight. The reports from all our recent work with the MPD Special Unit 1 should do the trick." Ishigami said, Kurosawa shuddered, but knew the best thing to do would be not to argue.

"Then…I better get going, come on Goto-san." Kurosawa grabbed Goto by the arm and started walking back to the office, but looked back to see Ishigami and Akemi talking with serious expressions. It had to be about their visit, what was it they had come here for? There was something here, and he wanted to know what.
