The same day as the previous chapter at Arata and Shinji's apartment, 5:00 P.M.
I can't still believe that you managed to pull off that kind of stunt! How did you manage to do it, Arata? Diffusing the two bombs simultaneously, I mean! Shinji said enthusiastically.
Calm down, I'll explain when- Shinji's phone suddenly rang and it's Kaori Speaking of the devil. Arata said coldly and gestures Shinji to answer.
Shinji answer the phone call.
Put it on speaker. Arata said coldly, Shinji immediately obeyed.
Hello, Kaori! How's things in you end? Where are you right now? Shinji said warily.
I am completely fine and I am currently at home right now! I should be the one asking the two of you with that questions, moron! Kaori said, wary evident in her voice.
We're fine! We're at home too... honestly, this guy over here almost gave me a heart attack! Shinji said sarcastically.
Arata just lets out a sigh.
What happened in the airport? Can you tell me? Kaori asks expectantly.
Well, of course! Shinji said enthusiastically Basically, when we got there...well, this guy Arata just pulled something out of his character! He left me outside to keep watch and to carry out the bombing plan at the University all on my own! Well, I don't know what happened inside...so, why don't YOU explain yourself, Mr. Superhero! Shinji said sarcastically.
Fine, fine! I am going to explain how I managed to pull that trick off now. So, don't be angry and stop whining already. Arata said coldly, letting out a sigh.
What did you just said?! Shinji said feigning annoyance.
Are you going to listen to me or not? Arata said coldly, irritation evident in his face.
Oh, fine! I am listening...Shinji said, clearly intimidated by Arata's look.
Kaori just chuckled in the other end of the call.
Flashback inside the Kanagawa International Airlines...
"I need to run as fast as I can! I can't give up now! I know, I know that can't make it in time...and I can't call for help either. If it's true that CIA has Angeline's back, then I can anticipate that she is watching my every move right now. How can I manage to pull this off?" Arata taught to himself, composing himself even though he is pretty anxious deep inside.
Arata's phone suddenly vibrates in his pocket, when he checked who is the caller it turns out to be Shinji.
Shinji...nice timing! Arata said, being hopeful again Hello, what's the update? Arata asks coldly, adjusting his glasses.
Arata, the Bomb Specialist Team is already here they have entered in the rear gate... that's the shortcut route if you are going to the deck that inly authorized people are allowed to use! Shinji said calmly, wary still evident in his voice And...I am not sure, But...I might have catch a glimpse of that old man, Takahiro inside their vehicle. Shinji adds.
Takahiro? Are you sure? Arata asks curiously.
Yes, I am already familiar in his face. And...I might be wrong though, meybe it's not Takahiro but someone who looks identical to Takahiro. Shinji said hesitantly.
Alright, keep watching there and wait for my signal for the activation of the fire alarm system and the detonation of the bomb at Kanagawa University. Arata whispered authoritatively, hanging up the call.
Arata dials Kaori's number...
Kaori, where are you right now? Arata asks coldly.
Oh, it's you, Arata! I am currently in the MPD Headquarters! What's the matter? Did something bad happen at the airport? Kaori said warily.
Now isn't the time for questions, I promise that I'll tell you everything that happened here later after everything has been resolved! Right now, I need your help on something. Arata said coldly.
Alright! I'll keep your word then! Kapri said enthusiastically, then she clears her throat Anyways, what is it that you need? Kaori asks calmly.
I want you to sneak into the Superintendent's office and look into his phone for me. Arata said authoritatively.
What? Sneak into Dad's office and take his phone? What is it that I am going to look for? Kaori asks warily.
I want you look for a number, Takahiro's number! Arata said authoritatively.
Sir Takahiro's number? Why do you think they're acquainted to each other? Kaori asks curiously.
Just please do it! I'll explain my reasoning later! Arata said, irritation evident in his voice.
Alright, alright! I've already got Dad's phone luckily he didn't put any password in this device. Kaori said sarcastically.
That fast? Good job. Arata praises her coldly.
Here, I have found it! I'll send the number to you real quick! Kaori said enthusiastically.
Yes, please do! Arata said expectantly, hanging up the phone call.
Arata finally received Kaori's text.
"So this is that bastard's phone number? Luckily, I have a voice changer app in my phone...I hate this but I don't have a choice! I will owe you one with this old man!" Arata taught to himself, feeling a bit humiliated.
Arata dials the phone number.
Takahiro answer the phone call.
Takahiro speaking. Takahiro said coldly.
I have solved the code, it's in the plane where the flight number starts with 127 and ends with 126. Arata said coldly while in a voice changer.
Wait, are you sure about this? Who the hell are you anyways? Takahiro asks skeptically.
This will save a lot of lives some people are still inside that airplane and still haven't been evacuated that's for sure, now if you won't act fast some people will lose their lives. Arata said coldly, adjusting his glasses (still in a voice changer) But, in return...I want you to do something for me too. Arata demanded coldly.
What is that you want? Takahiro asks coldly.
Have the security cameras dismantled for a moment, don't ask for any explanations! Arata said authoritatively (still in a voice changer).
Fine, I'll go and do what I can! Takahiro said reluctantly.
After moments of waiting the bombs has been diffused by the Bomb Specialist Team and seems like Takahiyalso fulfilled Arata's demands.
Arata dialed Shinji's number.
How are you?! Shinji asks warily.
I am completely fine, everything's okay now! The bombs have been diffused. Arata said coldly Anyways, go on! It's 2:30 P.M already! Trigger the fire alarm and at exactly 2:32 detonate the bombs. Arata whispered coldly.
I got it! Shinji replies confidently, hanging up the phone.
After that, Arata was seen standing in front of a Camera with a cold, mocking smirk for Angeline who is watching in the other side and then left to meet up with Shinji.
He immediately gets rid of his phone number when he sees a nearby trash bin.
Going back to the present...
So, that's how it happens. Arata said coldly The successful diffusion of her bombs and also the succes of our own bombing plan! Arata said arrogantly.
So, basically...you formed a temporary alliance with Sir Takahiro without him knowing it! Kaori said enthusiastically, clapping her hands.
I just pulled up something surprising for that person who loves to surprise people...you know who right? Shinji? Arata said calmly.
Of course, I know pretty damn well! Shinji said arrogantly.
So, are you willing to tell me now who is this person? Kaori asks expectantly.
Some other time. Now, is not the right time yet... it's something more personal involving our past. Arata said coldly.
Oh...I understand...Kaori said, clearly disappointed.
Shinji lets out a sigh and then clears his throat.
So, you basically pulled up your deceptive tactics to Takahiro and didn't even suspect a thing! Shinji said mockingly That old man got nothing on us. Shinji said arrogantly.
Don't underestimate Takahiro...I am pretty sure that he's suspicious of the mysterious information broker right now which is me... Arata said coldly.
Anyways, time for you to fulfill another end of your promise! Arata, how did you know that Sir Takahiro and Dad are working together? Kaori asks expectantly.
Alright, I didn't forget... listen well because I hate repeating myself and you yourself knows that. Arata said coldly, adjusting his glasses.
Yes, please! Kaori said.
Basically, since the beginning I have been suspicious of Takahiro he has incrediboe reasoning, analytical, and observation skills for a mere teacher...only a top tier detective could have those kind of expertly honed skill set...so, by then i have suspect him to be a retired detective and now working as a teacher. And my reasoning further solidifies when the thorough investigation and surveillance of us happened two weeks ago...who else could have the power to commence a sudden surveillance on someone except to your Father, the Superintendent himself...and who else has the beef to have us surveyed? Who else but Takahiro...that is when I deduced that Takahiro is now active again working as a temporary investigator for this case and is currently working for the Superintendent...I feel like they have some degree of friendship too...are you not aware of this, Kaori? Arata said coldly, adjusting his glasses.
Wow, I am surprise...Kaori is left bewildered I didn't know about any of this things...not until earlier and now. Kaori said reluctantly.
Now, you know. Arata said, letting out a sigh.
So, Bro? What are we going to do now? Shinji said enthusiastically.
We're going to lay low for days...We will start planning and eventually executing the next bombing plan afterwards. Arata said coldly.
Shinji jumps out of happiness, Kaori just claps her hands, Arata just lets out a sigh of relief.
Anyways, Kaori... what's the update in MPD earlier? Shinji asks curiously.
Oh, right! They're planning to hold a meeting tomorrow. Kaori said calmly.
A meeting? What is it about? Arata asks coldly.
I don't know, that's all I know right now. Kaori said hesitantly.
"A meeting? Why do I have a bad feeling about this...It's still too early to celebrate, the game is still far from over..." Arata taught to himself, adjusting his glasses.
