Pt 7. The fox under their nose

My arms ached from the gun. Holding it up for hours seemed more tedious than it looked.
I always found myself looking at Tsurgi, sometimes when I felt like putting the gun down, he was a good motivator, even if he didn't realize it.

Tsurgi smiled ear to ear, he did say he was a former gang member, so he was possibly use to this.

I removed my gaze from Tsurgi, looking down at the ground.
My mind traced back to Akutagawa, and the Armed Detective Agency. I wonder...what type of people work there...?

Atsushi fidgeted with his tie as he walked to the agency doors with Kyoka, who followed behind him with great pace.
"I told you we should've left earlier.." Atsushi cursed himself, Kyoka reminded him of the earlier morning, the two woke up late from a late alarm, and Kyoka cooked the food late aswell.
Atsushi opened the door, only to be met with Kunikidas stern gaze.

"Your late."

Atsushi recognized his fault, and cupped his hands together with his body fidgeting all over, Kyoka bowing right next to him.

"Oh come on Kunikida~ he was only a few minutes late." Dazai spoke up, excusing Atsushi for his late punctuation. Kunikida spun around with great speed, only to yell at Dazai who sat lazily in his chair.

Atsushi smiled at Kyoka, relieved of his momentary anxiety.

"Anyways, please, take a seat Atsushi, the meeting is going to start."

In separate room, Atsushi and Kyoka sat down at a long white table with chairs of the same color. His allys and friends were also seated at the table. The room was dark, illuminated by the projector showing a large map of a facility.

In front of the table stood the president and founder of the company itself, Fukuzawa. Another person stood next to him, holding a file of documents, then promptly handing it to him.

"Are we all here?" Fukuzawa looked around for a brief moment.
"Alright good." He turned to the projector.
"Now, as you can tell from the photo, it's been around two months since we started the 'Caprio Case', today, ive called you all here to inform you that we have now gained a visual on their location.

Everyone looked at the photo, which showed a large white facility, the slide switched, showing the front of the building, the exterior showed that of large blue windows, dirt covered the panels as thin ivy and medium lengthed grass covered part of it.
A few people were shown to be in front of it, one walking towards the entrance, and two others holding large guns, dressed in poor fashioned clothing and bandanas covering half of their face.

Atsushi stared at the photo.

"The only person we could identify so far was this man." The assistant clicked on the remote, a file showed on the screen next to the previous photo.

"Tsurgi Mushori."

Also known as...

Gunshots fired from Tsurgi's pistol, lowering it as he examined the target markings. All bullet holes hit vital points.

"Wow Tsurgi! Your really good at this!" I stood in awe, then promptly looking over at mine. Most of the bullets seemed scattered.

"You'll get there." Tsurgi offered me a warm smile. He set down his gun on the wooden shelf, as did I.

"Your still pretty new at shooting, I hope you'll get good eventually."

I looked up at the ceiling slightly.

"Yeah me too.."
