The Case on Valentine's Day. Part 11.

~Inside the SPR van~

When Naru receives Mai's text message, a small smile appears on his face. Mai needs a new vocabulary, the insults are getting old. 'Maybe I'll get her a dictionary for Christmas this year. Kami knows she needs one.' Naru thinks to himself. Lin interrupts his musings.

"Was that a text from Mai?" He asks the younger man next to him in the passenger seat.

"Yes." Naru says irritably. "She really needs some new insults."

Lin begins to chuckle quietly. "Well, you'll just have to tell her in person."

"Well, I was thinking about getting her an English dictionary for Christmas this year."

Lin hesitated before speaking again. "You might not want to do that." He warns.

"Why not?" Naru asks, turning his gaze to him.

"Because she might think you are insulting her intelligence, whether you realize it or not, Naru. You are breaking her heart and tearing down her confidence, and that is not a good thing. If you want her to trust in her abilities, then encourage her to speak to us about her dreams." Lin tells the younger man seriously. Naru nods his head in agreement.

Lin continues driving down the road, when an abandoned house comes in to view. Naru tells him to stop the van, so Lin puts his foot on the brake pedal. The van comes to a stop, and Naru takes off his seat belt before opening the door to step out of the van. After stepping out, Naru walks up to the front door and puts his ear to the wood, but he doesn't hear anything. He turns around and beckons Lin over, who sees and takes the key out of the ignition. He puts it in his pocket before taking off his seat belt. He opens the driver's side door and steps out of the van, shutting the door behind him.

After making sure all of the doors are locked, Lin walks up to the front door. Naru opens the door and they step inside. After searching each room and finding nothing, Naru and Lin return to the van. Lin takes his keys out of his pocket and unlocks the doors. Once inside the van, Lin starts it up and they drive away, searching for another abandoned house.

~Meanwhile inside the Tokyo police station~

Chaos is the only way to describe what is happening inside the old building, people are talking over each other. When Detective Yukimora enters the building, all of the employees stop talking.

"I want everyone to go to the conference room now." The detective orders. Everyone jumps at there boss's tone. They gather up all of their belongings and head to the conference room. The detective stops his assistant from leaving by putting a hand on her shoulder. "Please make another pot of coffee, and I need Oliver Jenkins' file as well." He orders gently.

Nodding, the assistant turns away from the conference room and walks towards the kitchen. The detective watches her walk away.

"If only I was a young man again..." He muses. Detective Yukimora shakes his head, trying to clear his thoughts. When he finally was able to get his mind off his assistant, he made his way to the conference room. As he enters everyone sits down in their usual seats. The detective walks up to the front of the room and begins to speak.

"This is a picture of Taniyama Mai, a high school student. Age 17. Blood type O. Assistant to Kazuya Shibuya at the Shibuya Psychic Research office, or better known as SPR. She was abducted from the latest case that they were working on. It's imperative that we find her."

"Why is this girl so important?" One officer queries. "After all she's just a high school student."

Detective Yukimora sighs in exasperation. These officers have no idea what the employees at Shibuya Psychic Research have done for the city of Tokyo. 'I guess I'll have to explain it to them.'

"Because that young lady and her associates have put more criminals behind bars than what any of you have done in the last five years. Now that I have said that let's continue the discussion. According to Shibuya-san, his assistant may be injured so we will have to move quickly. You all know your posts; get moving. I'll pass more information as soon as it's available." With those final words, everybody leaves the room.

Detective Yukimora takes the coffee that is offered to him and he takes sip, humming in appreciation. Once he is done with his coffee, he gets back to work and opens the file that was on top. There is a note for him.

The note read:

Dear Yukimora-sensei,

If you are reading this note then that means I have passed on. Here is a list of criminals that have been on death row for the past five years. However there is one man on this list that has me worried. That man's name is Curtis Black. He was responsible for murder, rape, and abuse. I also believe he is mentally unstable. You would have to talk with the warden in order to get more information.

Good luck.

Signed Oliver Jenkins.

The detective stands up from his chair and walks out of the conference room. When he gets to his office, file in hand, he steps over to his desk and picks up the phone. When the warden answers the phone, the detective wastes no time, only speaking brash and to the point. The warden gives all of the information. Detective Yukimora grabs the ransom note from his desk and compares the handwriting of each person who is on the death row list. When he finds a match, he runs out of his office with the file and ransom note in hand and goes to his assistant's desk.

"Carol, you need to call Shibuya-san and tell him to stop the search for Taniyama-san. If he doesn't then Curtis Black will kill her."
