Chapter 2: Makishima? dead?

Hei was now heading to his new work, a little restaurant near the park where he has his meetings with Huang. He couldn't care about the motives of the syndicate. They asked him to find an object and that's all. The rest isn't his business. But despite that, he couldn't stop thinking about what the old lady said. "He could find an interest". An interest? An interest in what? The object or whatever this is, the situation, nano technology? And how does she know he had put micros in her flat? The more he thinks about it, the more he found this strange.

"Well, it's not that I can do something for now, he thought, let's just work for the moment and I will find a way to stalk on Kirihara when she meets her. I will let her lead the case to have more informations". Besides, the syndicate didn't give him a dead line for the moment so he could take his time. Finishing his thought, he enters the restaurant with his Li's attitude.

During that time, Misaki and her team were heading to Tokyo University for another robbery case.

"chief, why are they calling us for a robbery, it's not our work" asked Kouno while driving.

"yeah, this is the second time this week", replied Saito who is sitting behind.

"how am I suppose to know when I'm here with you two" kirihara scolded them putting her glasses back.

"well, anyway, where here" Kouno said parking in front of the university. "and it seems like things went terribly wrong" he muttered. Indeed, there were many polices cars, ambulances and a crowd of panicked colleges students screaming. Entering the campus, they showed their badges to a policeman guarding the dormitory who leads them to the third floor of the huge edifice. He warned them before exiting the lift that, it isn't pretty to see. Saito, trying to impress the young policeman laugh telling him he had seen bad things and he doesn't have to worry. But he quickly stopped when he entered the hallway. He could hear the policeman muttering I told you before the door of the lift closed; there before them blood was scattered everywhere, on the floor, on the wall, bodies were lying wrapped in white cover, some members here and there, human they presume, rooms were open and furniture broken.

"what the hell happened here" asked Misaki to a man in front of them. She suppose he is an inspector. The man just look at her with a –who the hell are you-look and wait for her to present herself. Understanding, she showed him her badge. His eyes shifted to it before going back to her.

"section 3 huh, interesting". Smirking, he pursuit, " Well as you can see, college students were killed"

"yeah, by a horribly way" she cut him

"and it seems that the aggressor, he or they , was or were looking for something. All these rooms were in a total mess when we arrived" the inspector explains while walking in the corridor. "Nobody saw what happened".

"then how …"

"One student came back and saw the mess, he called the police after that", he said, cutting her like a revenge for earlier.

"came back? " she asked.

They were now in front of a room.

"yeah, apparently the school was attending movies projections to celebrate the promotion of a movie, school project or something, and mostly of the students were there. It was free. One came back, getting something in his room and then he saw this" the inspector said gesturing around them. "by the way, weren't you with two men?"

No that he said that, Misaki didn't hear Kouno or Saito. Turning around, she saw them near the lift at the other end of the corridor sitting on the floor with a first aid man, probably not supporting the view.

"poor of you", the inspector said laughing.

Not liking it, she put her glasses back, sign of frustration and turned back to the man, " I came of thinking, you didn't present yourself"

" I was wondering when you will ask. He looked through his purse, pulls out a card and showed her.

" Makishima's detective agency? What is a detective doing here? " she didn't understand, why is a detective here and moreover, why did they call her, there were no signs of a contractor. It must probably be a psychopath work, nothing the police couldn't deal with.

"should we go somewhere more appropriate to discuss where your men could join the conversation, Kirihara-san?" the men smirked

Whatever is going on here, Misaki didn't like it, and more, she didn't like this Makishima and his manners. She already has this Kiyushu case and now this.

"let's go", the lady in blue replied.

Kouno, Saito, Misaki and the detective were now sitting at a table in a restaurant not to far from the university.

"err, chief, what is going on here and why aren't we at the crime scene investigating" asked Saito after what seemed like a long silence but it only was a minute. Misaki didn't really know. She isn't the type of person to follow people she doesn't know, especially not a man. But this man seems like knowing something, besides as judged by the number of policemen at the crime scene, she could just asked a report to start with. The man in question was leaning back in his chair, looking through the menu like they were sharing a normal drinking between friends. Since the beginning of their meeting, she came to look at him. His long blue coat is hooked on his chair, he is wearing a white shirt lightly open giving an overview of his muscular chest, and black pants. Brown hair accompanied by green eyes. He mustn't be more than thirty. She has to recognize, he is quite handsome. What the hell Misaki, where are you going?!

Clearing her throat, she said, "Makishima-san, can you explain us the situation?"

"oh no, please, call me Ryota, Misaki-san" the lady in blue was stunned by his familiarity. Sensing her discomfort, he give her a sensual smile, "don't mind me calling you Misaki –san, Misaki-san?"

"yes she mind", an angered Saito yell, clearly showing his feeling towards his boss.

"oh I see, now I know what to do" Ryota only repleid with a satisfactory smirk. Saito isn't sure what to think about that. Misaki, whose mind stayed on the Misaki-san part, was blushing lightly and Kouno who stayed quiet during all this time watched the scene with amused eyes, seems like Saito will have some competition, he thought.

"anyways", Ryota interrupted their train of thought, this time with a more serious face," I'm here to prevent you".

"of what", asked Misaki, now back to her normal self

"your future"

"what is this, we don't have time for future telling" an irritated Kouno said.

"me either, believe me, well I wouldn't mind if it were only for your boss, knowing she doesn't have many time left, it would be a pleasure for me to spend some quality time with"

"what the hell are you talking about? Chief let's go" a now an angered Saito said, standing ready to go. Kouno stands up as well, the two looking at their boss waiting for her to do like them.

"What is the meaning of this Makishima-san? " Misaki only asked calmly

"Simply, Kirihara-san. You will die, in two months and by the hands of the Black Reaper".
