The cab arrived at a small town right by a beach. The town seemed to be for wealthy people. The group got out of the cab, paid the man, and thanked him.

"Reiji lives here?" Chao Xin asked in an unsure voice. "Yup, or this is where he used to live. Somewhere along the way something happened." Madoka replied. "Do you know the address?" Gingka asked. Madoka nodded. "Follow me, those is just a couple blocks away."

The group arrived at a medium-sized one story house with a lightly colored stone drive way. The outside of the house had pure pearl walls and a pure pearl deck. There were two white chairs sitting on the porch, along with wind chimes hanging off of ceiling and two living plants sitting on two small, glass round tables. The door had a glass outside and a thicker white door on the inside, and a pearl door bell beside the door on the outside. From the outside, the curtains were a tan-ish pearl color. The place looked completely cozy.
"This- is it? Seriously?" Gingka asked. "This is it!" Madoka replied.
"I thought it would be a more scary setting." Tsubasa said. "Me too!" Mei Mei said after him.
Chi Yun walked up and hit the doorbell. "Hey, I'm just wondering, don't you think Haruto should do the questioning?" Mei Mei asked.
Haruto gasped, a drop forming on his head. "You're right, he is the detective and all!" Kenta replied.
Before anyone could say anything else, the door actually opened! A woman with a baby came out. Everybody pushed Haruto to the front. Sighing and taking out his portfolio, Haruto blushed. "Hello ma'am. We are gathered here today to ask you a few questions."
The woman looked confused, and politely replied, "Excuse me? I don't believe I ordered anybody to come question me."
"We understand ma'am, but it's about your son Reiji."
The woman gasped and almost fainted. She began to have an anxiety attack. She fainted. Haruto grabbed the baby as quickly as he could and it began to cry. Tsubasa and Gingka help the woman up and took her to her couch. No body else was inside (thankfully, they probably would have flipped out.) Everyone was around the woman, except for Madoka and Haruto, who were with the baby.
Haruto nervously rocked the baby. "Please stop crying." Madoka just stared at Haruto's expression. The baby cried even harder. "Please, don't cry!" Haruto pleaded. He began to cry himself. "Haruto...." Madoka murmured. "What happened to you?"
"Hey, she is waking up!" Gingka hollered. The woman stirred. "Back up everyone!" Tsusbasa whispered. Everybody backed up to give the woman room. The woman perked her head up at everyone. "Is this a dream- wait... You guys wanted to question - WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!" the woman gasped, looking at her baby. "Ma'am! I know this is weird and that we are in your house, but you need to calm down. Your baby was dropped when you fainted, and that guy saved it!" Tsubasa interjected.
The woman began to cry. "I'm sorry, I am so so sorry! This is nothing new. Since my son went missing, everybody has questioned me about everything, this is nothing new. Thank you for saving my baby sir. Sweetie, why are you crying?" The woman took her baby and rocked it. The baby instantly stopped crying. "And why are you crying honey?" she asked Haruto.
Haruto blushed. "Just some things from the past that are coming back to me, that's all." Haruto wiped his tears away, embarrassed.
The woman sat in the large, fancy couch, ordering that everyone else sit down as well. "Would you like anything to drink?"
Everybody shook their head no. "Well then, go ahead and question away." The woman smiled. Haruto spoke up. "So, about your son, Reiji...." The woman already had tears in her eyes. "My son... What about him?"
"What happened to him?"
"I don't know. He went missing, and the next time I saw him, he barely remembers who I was."
Everybody gasped. Chi Yun feared that it would happen to Kara as well.
"And what made him this way?"
"I don't know. He was deathly ill before he went crazy though. He was bound in a hospital on his death bed. He lived, only by a miracle. However, something altered his personality. It must have been something in that medicine that made him this way. He ran away and did not come back. When I saw him in the TV, I cried hysterically."
"Are you married?"
"I am. My husband is in the military, and he is out over seas. Why are you asking me all of this? Are you even a detective?"
Haruto flashed his INTERN badge out. "My father is, and I am an intern."
"We are asking all of this because we know one other girl with this same case. She had the exact same illness and the exact same treatment."
The woman gasped. "You better get to the bottom of it! I want Reiji back and I want you to have your friend back!"
"Where could we possibly find Reiji?"
"I don't know. The last time I saw him, he was on TV. I have no clue."
