Ackerman watches as Tachibana paces up and down the room it's been a week since the whole mess with Kaminari and more dirt about him has come up.
The Vigilante group that's been attacking politicians works under him but that is something Tachibana already knew.
The reasons for why he needed the damn group in the first place are still unknown.
Tachibana was right in assuming he was the scape goat for Kaminari's diabolical plan. He may have dodged a bullet but Yuno is not out of the woods Kaminari still needs her and he will keep coming after her.
The door opens and Ryujin enters with Ryu behind him, "Ken don't do anything you'll regret." Ackerman warns before leaving the room.
Ken is a good man, kind and extremely loyal. Still an asshole, but he has the heart of a hero, and guts like no other, but he can be stubborn, uncompromising and cruel especially to people who betray his trust and he trusted Ryu to keep Tori safe.
"How much was Tori worth? How much did Kaminari pay you for you to give up your baby?"
Everyone left and it's just the two of them Ken is absolutely fuming while Ryu is the complete opposite, a blank bored expression on her face.
Ryu shrugs her shoulders thinking Tachibana's question over, "I think 100 000, or a million, I don't remember where the comma was."
The door opens and Sensen walks into the room and locks the door behind her.
Ryu cocks a brow when the old lady turns into a young woman who's maybe mid 20's or a little older.
"What do we do with her?" Sensen asks eyeing Ryu up and down.
Tachibana clenches his fists disgusted with Ryu, there is not a shred of guilt, sympathy or shame in her eyes.
"Kill her, and bury her with the cheque maybe she'll buy herself a ticket to heaven. That's the only way she's getting there." Sensen nods and makes a call to the twins.
Two elite soldiers trained in the S.S that was recently exposed as a Secret Service that adopted and trained children with abilities from the time it was rare to have one.
The most powerful abilities are found in the S.S, which is why Tachibana was worried about Hitori his ability fits the criteria THEY are looking for.
The S.S play a lot of mind games on individuals who don't know what they are about, lying, and claiming to be 'helping' the children when really it's just kidnapping.
The twins walk in taking Ryu's ability and destroying it. She will now be powerless and won't be able to fight back.
The room clears and Tachibana gets in his car driving to Yuno's school, she insisted on having Tori with her at all times, but now she hasn't gone to class all week.
He gets out of the car and walks to her door thinking of a way to convince her he is on Tori's side and won't let him get hurt. He knew Kaminari was desperate and coming after Yuno but he believed without a doubt getting the child involved was something Kaminari would never do.
Tori staying with Ryu was his way of protecting him, he was so sure he could count on her to protect him, but she did the exact opposite.
He huffs in anger and knocks on the door, more like banging on the door.
Yuno stands up glaring at whoever is knocking so violently. She slams the door the instant she sees it's Tachibana. She is angry with him, and he can understand why? He is angry with himself as well.
"Miss Lin, please don't make me burn this door down I can afford a 1000 more and have it fixed by tonight."
Yuno opens the door letting him in. Tori is back to being a chatter box again. It was honestly hard and it took a lot of work, but Yuno won't complain, it was tough, but worth it.
