The first one to get the said Hideo Aburaki on the phone was a brown haired woman. Sawako had ordered her to put her on speaker.

"S-Sir?" She hesitatntly began the call
"Who is there, if you want to have a decent conversation, tell me your name!" An angry male voice answered from the other side.
"I- I'm K-kyara Felka, sir." She answered
"Why are you calling me if you can't even talk?"
"T-There a-a-are two people h-here, who d-dem-and t-to speak to you."
"And who would that be?"
The woman looked up at Sawako, she nodded. Telling her to call them by their nicknames.
"The r-r-red dragon and t-t-the demon p-prodigy, Sir"
The other end of the call was suddenly silent.

Sawako wasn't doing this shit, she grabbed the phone.
"Listen here you greasy ass-licking scumbucket, we don't have all day, so either you tell us who spilled and who got it, or your nice little office is about to have undenieable similarity with a burning christmas tree"
"I-..." The voice on the other side of the phone seemed unsure and hesitant now.

All the while Dazai was standing in the back keeping all other people around in check, with a trigger mechanism for a bomb.

"Look who's suddenly real quiet. Look I couldn't care less about you. So no matter what you answer, sooner or later we will have our information. Just that right now you can still prevent your workers from being pulled into the whole thing and save a couple of lives from being lost." She said.

"I-I would really ... like to t-tell you, b-bu-"
"Quit your stuttering no one understands what you're saying. And not understanding what you're saying has the same effect as not talking, so you better start talking straight.

"Please, I- it wasn't my fault. I didn't think anyone besides me and Tyler Smith had acsess to this information. I didn't - I - Please, i have a wife and a son and-" The line was cut. Sawako signaled, Dazai pushed the button.

Shortly after, two figure were walking out of a building, that indeed did have similarity to a burning christmas tree.

------------------------

There was a sudden explosion to be heard from outside.

"W-what was that?" Atsushi asked

"An explosion, duh." Ranpo said, before realizing what this meant.

"Where did it come from?" Kunikida asked

"The government building." Fukuzawa answered coldly. "The Ariyoshis don't play games. If she threatened and didn't get what she wanted, she will act. I'm guessing we're about to get a call from a certain Hideo Aburaki."

And true to his word, not a minute later, the phone rang.
Fukuzawa picked it up and put it on speaker. They were now all involved in this, there was on use hiding anything anymore.

"Armed Detective Agency, Fukuzawa speaking." Fukuzawa answered. The way he did almost sounded like a soldier communicating per walky talky.
"Sir, there has been an attack at Yokohomas government facility. A bomb has exploded, as you might have heard. And two ability useres, who have not been seen in years and were till now claimed dead, showed up, walking out of the burning building."

"Who were those two ability useres?" Was the first thing, the president asked. He knew who it was, and he knew he should ask about casualties, but he needed someone to confirm his thought. Or rather he was hoping he was wrong.

"The red dragon and the demon prodigy. They dissapeared five and four years ago, experts had written them off as dead. Others had said, they would be to old to act by now, as their plans were too perfect to come from youngsters. But a couple of people had always said, they were still somewhere out there. Waiting."

"How sure are you, that the twp people you have seen were the said ones?"

"100% Sir, they were wearing their traditional clothing, black and all bandaged left out only mouth, nose and one eye and all black and red, tight suit, purple curls, the teeth of a vampire and the claws of a tiger. both of them bright red eyes. There is no doubt about it."

Fukuzawa held his breath, this couldn't be happening. At least Dazai was trying to hide himself in appearance of the past.

"How many casualties were there?" Fukuzawa now asked. The entire office staring at him, unable to believe that Dazai would be involved with mass murdering, despite now knowing who he had been in his past.

"We're not sure yet. There have been three bombs at total count, in the basement, them middle of the building and on the top floor. The entire building has collapsed into itself. We're lucky if we find a single survivor. Well we have one survivor, she had apparently been carried outside by the red dragon. We don't know how many people were in that building exactly, but roughly 1800 I'd say."

"180?!" Ranpo interrupted from the back. "How can he just blow 1800 people up and go on with his day?" He mumbled, doubting every decision he had made in the past two years.

"Yes, sadly. In order to solve this, I would like to hire three of your men, if you are willing to put them in such danger."

"I don't really have a choice do I? Who do you want? I can't just give you anyone, you know that right?"

"No, as a matter of fact I don't, if we were to follow you, then none of your men would be coming. So I will demand and you will give."

Fukuzawa was sitting on his chair, mouthing silent prays, for him not to say Dazais name. Despite clearly knowing, that a genius nullifier would obviously be requested.

"Alright." He answered through clenched teeth.

"Well, in that case. ..."
