"Finally... It's good to be able to move again" - Said Naegi... fully dressed as the Jester (new costume), he was finally healed, his eye didn't suffer permanent effects and his arm was at full strength and that day he was returning to his job as the Jester, he jumped from building to building, He hated to admit it but he liked it... wearing the costume Jumping around. feeling the breeze on his face. He then jumped doing a front flip before throwing his hook to land on a roof - *probably I could live without killing* - He thought but ... he is the Jester.

"Ok Greeny I'm in position" - he said to a small headset on his left ear, after he got to the roof of a building. from it he heard a voice... it was Chihiro - "Ok can you look around for a briefcase" - Naegi looked around and found it. He opened it and found a disarmed Blaser R93 Tactical sniper. It took him 20 seconds to armed it and he aimed to building - "so Greeny how is the target?" - Naegi asked, he could hear Chihiro sound a little mad - "don't call me Greeny... I'm the Green Jester" - she said a little angry, Making the jester laugh a little - "well ok so about the target?" - he asked again, he could hear typing on his earpiece - "He should be on 12th floor" - he said - "wow it's amazing you can do that from Japan... I mean I'm in the USA and you can still get me all that info" - He said before Aiming at the 12th floor... zooming to a office - "Ok I can see it... send it now" - the target then noticed his monitor turned on by itself - "Look back" - scared he turned around just to be shot in the head

"so, Jin where is the target?" - asked Naegi entering Jin office... he already healed and now he was called by Jin... so he thought he was going to give him a new target to kill. but to his surprise when he entered the office he saw all his classmates - "uh ok what is happening here... It's this an intervention?" - he asked half joking yet he saw all his friends with serious faces so he decided to keep silent - "did.. I do something?" - he asked confused and shy

"Don't worry Naegi-kun we are not here for you"- Said Kyoko trying to keep her cool (while not trying to admit it most of the girls thought seeing Naegi Shy made them think he looked cute) - "we came to talk with father" - They all nodded looking at Jin - "you told us you would tell us the truth about everything when Naegi was healed" - Jin sighed

"Ok I'll tell you" - he then sat on his desk - "Where should we start?"
