"Any luck?" Naoto asked from the end of the line.
"None. These guys are tough to crack." You grumbled, as you halted from the red light of the intersection. This was the exhausting part of the job, the gathering of inquest which was Naoto's specialization, yet you agreed to do it instead, as an excuse to get out of the evidence room you've been cooped up in for days, scarfing boxes of files.
