Author's Note: Hello everyone! I've decided that since I'm really getting into this story I'll probably end up finishing it by the end of the week. I have no other projects and I don't want to start any before I finish this story. This chapter takes place from Bruno's perspective. (I realized I never put that in there)

I wasn't going to wait around for Sector Security to solve this case.

I came to this realization sitting in the waiting room, while Crow paced and Akiza shook and Jack silently cried. While my best friend could have just flat lined, leaving this world without getting the chance to say goodbye.

I don't think anyone noticed me leave, or slip back into the hospital.

I had made a decision before I left that business complex. It was going to save Trudge and Mina a lot of time, and may even save Yusei's life.

I found Tatiana's employer.

It wasn't that hard, actually. There was hardly anything in that building, and I don't think the CEO of the Mario Cart games had a grudge held against Yusei Fudo.

So it was obviously a Miss Stella Ross, a model with so much money that they let her stay, even though nobody knew what she was actually doing in her office. I guess they just assumed that's where she did most of her shoots.

I hadn't gone in to see her. I guess I was afraid, in a way. I didn't want to see her cold, killer eyes. Tatiana's eyes didn't bother me, surprisingly. Maybe that was because there was a flicker of hope in them, a wish to get out of the life that she has, a wish to be set free of her sins.

I walked up to Trudge and tipped him off.

His eyes widened when I told him that I had a suspect for him. When I told him I suspected Stella Ross, he asked why I thought that.

Ah, of course. But I saw this coming.

I told him that it her eyes. I told him that I had seen eyes like hers that night, a brilliant sea-green, and a flash of blond hair. Up on a roof, for good measure. His eyes widened. I even showed him one of her modeling photos as a reference. Even though she smiled, she didn't look beautiful. She still looked cold and calculating, but…maybe it was just me.

Trudge believed me. I think he would have believed any clue at this point.

He told Mina, and she quickly ran to tell Jack of course. I was so happy that Yusei would hear that we were on the case, that we weren't going to let anyone hurt him ever again.

I didn't even notice the way he paled just a little bit beneath his smile.

I even offered my services protecting him. Trudge looked at me and smiled, saying that somebody was already hired. I should have known he would have already thought of that- Trudge was just about as torn up over this whole mess as I was.

He boasted that he chose the best person to protect Yusei, saying he was so clever choosing them, choosing someone who a lot to gain and nothing to lose by protecting him.

So I clearly did not expect to see Tatiana Fortune walk through that door.
