Phantom of the underworld

chapter 27

As everyone was sleeping there's one figure waiting for a certain someone.

"Ugh! Where is she? It's not like her to be late?" Yukio search around the lobby for light blue hair girl, even though Yukio sadly knew he wouldn't be able to see the girl until she revealed herself to Yukio.

"Hello Yukio-kun." Speak of the devil and she will appear out of nowhere like always. Yukio slightly wish he had Kazunari hawk-eye, he could never get used to Tetsuki popping out of nowhere even after so many years even since they both kids. 

"God dammit Tetsuki, can't you show up like a normal person" 

"Sorry for being late. I was held up." Tetsuki ignore what Yukio said but apologies for being late though. 

"Oi! Be apologetic for scaring me." 

"We should get going or we'll be late to meet our guest." Yukio groaned. It was obvious Tetsuki was not going to apologies for the popping out of nowhere.

The two flash their black cards to the guards, who gave them curt bow to Tetsuki much to the girl displeasure. Passing through the security posts with ease and making their way downstairs, they enter the main corridor of the basement. 

The corridor had many rooms and hallways branching off from it. Guards patrolled the halls and occasionally search the various rooms. Passing them with simple greetings, Tetsuki and Yukio made their way to the underground club.

"Now, who are we looking for again?" Yukio nose crinkle at the smell of smoke through the atmosphere and the bright lights momentarily blinded him. He felt a nudge and look down to see Tetsuki giving him a white medical mask. 

Yukio placed the mask on as Tetsuki answered, "We're looking for a potential informant that's good at gathering information that you can't simply hack into." Tetsuki and Yukio transverse the club avoiding the drunk and dancing patrons.

"Yo if isn't that Shadow?" The duo stopped to see one of the patrons waving a flask of alcohol at them, "It is, man, what is the leader of the Hellish Sins doing at a joint like this. Aren't you a little too young?" The man walked up to them.

"Actually, we're looking for someone." Yukio answered.

"Woah, Wrath here too. This must be my lucky day. Seeing two of the nine sins."

"Speaking of," Tetsuki glance around to search the room, "where is Goat?"

"He headed to the back of the club where it connect to the market." The man gesture in the direction he was talking about, "I'm going to get another glass; it was nice seeing you." The two parted from the man, making their way to the back of the club.

"Wait our informant is Goat?" 

Tetsuki silently scoffed at that, "Off course not, but he did find someone of interest." 

Shortly, the duo spotted their target sitting on one of the coaches, holding a glass of margarita as he chatted with the women that clustered around him.

"Ah, if it isn't the young boss." Goat raked a hand through his black spiky hair, "I thought I give these ladies a good time while I waited for you."

"Where's the informant?" 

"Ah come on loosen up a little, boss." Goat gesture his drink to Yukio, "You can do some too, wrath. You're old enough to drink right?" 

"Goat..Informant."

"Fine, fine." Goat groan, muttering 'killjoy', "his in the second meeting room. He seems really nervous so don't let that 'wonderful' personality scare him off."
