It was around six o'clock when Riko came to Kurosaki's apartment. She was happy that her and Master got some informations that could be useful. She brought over some files and notes that she got, and Teru curiously looked at the pile of papers, afraid to even start looking trough them. They were mostly documents, different lawsuits and kind of stuff that Teru didn't quite understand.
Kurosaki took a paper from the pile, while Riko took another one. Teru just sat beside them and waited for them to tell her what did they found.

" So I found out some things" Riko started "And so did Master. He'll come in a few minutes."

Kurosaki just absently looked trough the paper in his hands, and then took another one to scan it.

" So Riko, what did you find?" Teru asked

" Well." Riko stated "Not much. But I was surprised that I was able to find this in this few hours. Now, we know that he was a politician who forced Tatsuku into making the code and everything. I also found out that he was mentioned in a few more crimes, but there were never enough evidences, or there were none of them at all. But then I dug a bit deeper, and found out that he was either business"related or seen with some of those who were sent to jail or got a lawsuit. And It was either killing someone for some fortune, or as in Tatsuku's case, illegal distribution or production of some computer"related thing.

At that moment doorbell rang. Teru got up and ran to open the door. There was master with a folder in his hand. Teru let him in and they walked back to the living room where Riko and Kurosaki were still looking at the pile on the table.

" So guys" Master started, throwing the file on the table " We've got a problem, huh?"

Riko glared at him with a You-don't-say look on her face. Kurosaki was deep in his thoughts, frowning while reading, and Teru of course noticed that. She sat beside him, still looking at him. He didn't notice. She sighed and took his free hand, and felt him squeeze her hand. She knew he was worrying about everything.

" Anyways these guys that are visiting him are not much related in their work. One of them is the boss of some software programming company. The company is not that strong in the industry world, they had some ups and downs. Company almost bankrupted a few years ago and now they are slowly recovering, but still not enough. He and our prisoner are also friends, so no one could suspect anything more than just a friendly visit. Other two are his colleagues. They are not someone very important, but I guess that they can pull some strings if needed. For example he could have set up that bomb just by asking them to."

In their head, everyone was slowly having the puzzle pieces placed on the right spot.

" Wait, just tell me if I'm getting things right" Teru jumped in "The boss of that company, a friend of the guy who is in jail, is cooperating with him just to get Jack Frost in his hands. And he is doing that just to get money, and get the company back in the industry. And in order to do that he must get rid of us so that we don't get any chance of destroying the disc before they get it."

" Exactly the point darling" Riko nodded

" Then what do we do?" Teru asked a bit frightened "Just wait for them to...attack? Or you have something in mind?"

Then Kurosaki finaly escaped from his thoughts and started talking.

" No. They won't get the chance to hurt you. Or anyone else." he paused "I'll get the disk back."

" Do you even know where it is? And what would you do when you get it?" Master interrupted "That's not easy Tatsuku."

" It's somewhere in New York" Riko casually added, sighing along the way.
Everybody looked at her shocked, and confused. She looked at them like she just said what time it is, and they looked at her like she grown a pair of horns.

" How do you know that Riko?"Kurosaki narrowed his eyes

" I heard a rumor when I was in New York. Something about a disk that will make a great fortune when they start their coöperation with Japan. Anyway, Tatsuku, we are leaving tomorrow. I'll get some tickets for us tonight."

" Hold on Riko." Kurosaki jumped "Why didn't you say that earlier! We should have known that."

Riko glared at him, annoyed and stood up.

" In my best interest is to keep you guys safe." she said hissing angrily "And if that means putting everything else on hold, that's what I'll do. 'Cause I certainly don't want to lose any more people who are close to me. But now that we are sure that he is after the disk, and we need to find it, I told you. Understand now?"

Kurosaki blankly looked at women in front of him. Riko certainly couldn't let anyone raise their tone on her, at least not without a very good reason. Teru looked at the two a bit scared, while Master calmed them. She didn't know what to do. She tried to process the fact that they are leaving tomorrow. "Did she count me in when she said WE?" she thought when the two sat back down.

" So Tatsuku, pack your bags. You and me are leaving tomorrow."
"So she didn't count me" Teru thought "I don't like this." Kurosaki turned his head to Riko and narrowed his eyes.

" You and me? What about Teru? I can't leave her here. They could come for her anytime."

" Tatsuku, only one they are after-is you. They wouldn't need Teru at all.

" No way. I'm not leaving her alone here Riko!" Kurosaki yelled. Master took him by his forearm and gave him a "Calm down" look.

" I'll be here with her Tatsuku. I won't let anything happen to her" Master said when Kurosaki sat down sighing in annoyance, resting his forehead on his palm.
Teru, who was quiet all this time, came to him and hugged him carefully. She didn't want to interfere since she really didn't know much about everything, but she could at least try to console and calm the guy she loved.

" Don't worry about me" she whispered, while he slid his arm around her waist " I'll be fine. I want you to be carefull.

" Gosh, I don't know if I should scold you two, or think you are cute together" Riko cut them, making Teru blush hard, and part from Kurosaki.
"Anyway, you two don't worry. Nothing is gonna happen to you. By the time they figure out that we are in New York, we will probably be, finally, destroying the disk. And we are in advantage since they don't know that we know what are they doing."

" Riko, how do we know he'll stop after that" Teru jumped in "I mean, he could only want to...kill...Tatsuku for ruining his life. He could want just revenge and nothing more."

" Teru could be right. He could also want both. We won't know." Master added "But for now, it is safer for him to be away from them. And along the way, he can get the disk."

" We'll find out that somehow. " Riko said and got up "I have to go now. Teru you are coming with me. We must talk."

She looked at the girl, who obediently got up and went to get her suitcase that she left in the living room last night. Master rose up too saying that he needed to go, and Tatsuku went to see him off. Master walked out, and Kurosaki stood at the door waiting for Riko and Teru. Riko came first and looked at Kurosaki, who looked back at her. It looked like they were talking with their eyes, assuring each other that everything will be fine. As they heard suitcase wheels rolling, Riko turned around and Kurosaki broke the silence.

"She stays with me tonight."

Guys i couldn't do any longer. I'm sorry. If you leave out the fact that I'm without my inspiration a bit, there is the fact that I don't have much time. There was 4 days of Japanism... fair about Japan, anime and manga. Then air conditioner in my room broke, and there is an emergency in my country 'cause the temperatures are so high. And since my room is the attic, it gets extra hot. And my mom wouldn't let me use her laptop, and my sisters computer broke "."
Then there were going to the pools, cafe etc.

So...I'm SORRRYYY . I really need to thing this trough and I want it to be good.

Thank you everyone who followed, reviewed, alerted...means a lot really

Sorry for the wait!
