"Everyone in position?"

Ochako hid behind a bush with two other officers, all three wearing bulletproof jackets and carrying hand-guns. She was observing a small house right behind where she was hiding.

"Yep commander," replied a voice from her radio.

"Okay everyone, GO!"

They had found Okuta's whereabout after digging up a bit. With authorizations from the Commissioner, Ochako had organized a raid at the place. She hoped to both captured the broker and as much data on his newest commerce.

She saw Okuta in his kitchen from the window wall. She ran forward to the patio followed by the two officers, weapons ready. The latter, surprised to see the police here, tried to rush somewhere else in the house. Seeing this, Ochako crashed through the window and held him at gunpoint.

"POLICE FEEZE!"

Okuta looked at her while another team broke his front door open, surrounding him. He looked around before slowly raising his hands in the air. With an innocent smile, he said, "I know I am late for rent, but isn't that excessive?"

"Take that clown back to the station," ordered Ochako. "And Giran, we weren't here for your rent but thanks for the notice."


"Damn, that certainly a nice story but I don't see how I can help you?"

"Don't try to play smart Giran. We dismantled your house to ensure we got all of your equipment and our technicians are currently cracking it up. U like what most thugs believe they are actually competent at their job."

The broker smirk at the remark before replying, "Do you take me for some random crook? I made sure that my private data were well secured with some surprises from prying eyes."

"We shall see that." Ochako then opened the door of the interrogation room. "Take him back to his cell, his staying isn't over."

"I hope you have good room service. Otherwise, I won't leave a good review," flout Okuta.

The Chief-Inspector held her nose in exasperation, retaining herself from punching the broker in the face. She walked back to her team to see what was going on. "Tell me the IT team got something out of those disks just so I can shove his mountain size ego up to his ass."

"The interrogation didn't go well?"

"He didn't say a thing, persuaded that we are a bunch of headless chickens that can't achieve anything." Ochako went to pick up a cup of coffee. "So anyway, have we got anything else?"

Tokoyami replied from behind his computer, "we managed to get some of the suppliers. I listed out those already known to us for the inquiry, leaving us with four potential suspects so far."

"Good continued searching. As for the ones that don't interest us, transfer them to a different unit so they can take care of them." Tokoyami nodded, going back to work. 

'I still need to confront him about talking too much with his girlfriend," thought the brunette. "Meh, I'll put him on the circulation once this case is over."

The day continued without anything major happening, and once the day was over everyone made sure that their Chief-Inspector was leaving with them.


Somewhere else, a hooded figure was working on a computer. He was currently working on cutting ties with Okuat's site after learning of his arrest. Although he knew this wouldn't save him from the police eyes, this would buy him more time to cover his retreat.

"That moron of Giran got busted by the police. I told you it was a bad idea to trust him," was saying the figure, seemingly talking to someone.

"Shut-up. This could have happened to anyone, the most important is that we make out escape," replied the same person but with a different tone of voice."

"Yeah yeah yeah, I know the song by now. However, that hit on Eneos Holding is going to cause us trouble I'm telling you."

"I agree that was a bit cocky for me to pester them. We won't try something like this again."

The mysterious figure finished his work before shutting down his computer. "Damn I'm famished, fancy some Katsudon?"

"How many times do I have to tell you that we have the same culinary taste!"

"I know, but annoying you is funny," laughed the first voice before he (they?) stood up and when to a small kitchen preparing dinner.

"So, where should we go next?"

"I was thinking returning to Musutafu, it'll be a good hidding place."

"You sure? After everything that happened."

"Yes, afterall you said it yourself. I should let go of the past."


Ochako was sitting in her bed looking at the list of potential suspect taken from Okuta's files. So far they were just random internet names, somewhat getting even wierder. "King Explosion Murder? Dragon Shroud? Cellophane? Seriously, who on earth can call themselves like that," she laguthed, a bit amused by the names she was reading. She continued reading until she bugged on one name in particular. "Little Man With Big Dick? We are better catching that wierdo?"

"What on earth are you reading Ochako," exclaimed Tsuyu, bargin into her room.

"Something from work, and were you spying on me?"

Tsuyu, realizing she just gave herself away tried to cover herslef up, "Eh no no, I just heard you from accross the door saying wierds name so i got curious."

Ochako, despite not being convinced, let the matter go. "Anyway, is dinner ready?"

"Ah yes, Momo sent me to call you up."

"Thanks, oh and Tsuyu, you should have probably started by this. You would have been more credible."

All three girls ate the Takikomi Gohan that Momo prepared. "I must say, the dinner is delicious."

"Thanks Ochako, how was your day by the way. You seems to be in a better mood."

"Oh great, we are makign good progress so far."

"That great to hear. Nothing realy happened on my side, my job is so boring."

"And the one bringing the most money in," commented Tsuyu.

"true, but I did meet a cute looking guy."

This caugth the imediate attention of her two friends. "Realy, was that the only thing you can say about him," suggestively asked the brunette.

"No no, he is also funy, charming, inteligent and hot," hastily replied Momo, blushing.

Her two friends arbored wicked smile, "You are-"

"-So in love," concluded Ochako.

"WHAT!?"

After she finished eating (and teasing her friend), Ochako went to take a shower beffore going to bed. She loved those moments, it helped her relax after a hard day at work. Usually thinking about nothing except the warm water running over her body. She thought back about Okuta's list, one name in particular.

"Deku, where did I heard that name beffore?"
