Shadows Of The Twilight (Book-II)

*Next Day, early morning*
*At the Armed Detective Agency*

(3rd person's pov):

Dazai and Emily gave a summary of the Guild information that they received to the President and they told him about the plans they came up with. The President undoubtedly agreed and ordered them to proceed, assigning them, to lead this mission. Fukuzawa also permitted to use all the available resources the Agency has, as per the requirements of Dazai and Emily's plan. The computer systems, microphones to communicate, and even Helicopters for the infiltration were prepared. All that left was finalizing the strategy they came up with by choosing whom to send in the mission and how to make use of their abilities. They preferred discussing this with Ranpo, their detective. The President therefore orders them to save the city, at any cost.

✧------✧------✧------✧------✧

Except, Ranpo, Yosano, Kunikida, Dazai, Emily and the President; no one knows about the ADA receiveing the 'confidential' information on the Guild on the other day. By the time, Emily and Dazai discussed everything with the President, it was almost office hours. The members of the Agency however attended the office sooner compared to their normal working days. It was because of today's mission. Some were sent to patrol if Guild makes any movements and some were still busy preparing for the attacks the ADA was planning to carry out. In the main office, it was Tanizaki Junichirou sitting on his desk typing something on his computer. And Atsushi Nakajima was sitting on his own desk but was looking on his phone screen.

"You all are directed to attend the office positively by 7.30 a.m. as per the order followed by the President. We are holding up a front to face the Guild. Also, we received some 'confidential' information which might help. All that's required is your support and co-operation."

-Emily

Atsushi reads the text on his phone.
It was an urgent message from Emily to almost all the members of the Agency. Atsushi reads the text again. "Confidential information? What that could be--" He thought.

After a brief moment of silence; Atsushi spoke up as he couldn't stop his curiosity.

"Hey Tanizaki? Is it true that we have information that we can use to defeat the Guild?"

"Yes!" Tanizaki replied, "Although, I don't know the details of those documents. But they received them yesterday."

Tanizaki didn't know the details but he came to know about a little about what happened yesterday from his colleagues and, about Dazai and Emily's discussion with the President from his sister Naomi, as she is the part time assistant worker.

"Really?" Atsushi responses with a surprise, "How did they find them?"

"I heard from Dr. Yosano today morning that she and Ranpo received them from a Guild member." Tanizaki replied.

"A Guild Member!?" Atsushi lets out with a shocked expression, "Why would a Guild Member leak such valuable information?"

"Ah, it's a long story." Tanizaki said, "They said, Ranpo was happen to be his rival since long ago; So yesterday, they just shared some deals with each other."

"I see." Atsushi mumbles setting up his fingers below his chin thoughtfully, "So, how they plan on attacking? Did you get a word from Dazai or Emily?"

"They are sitting in the conference room for so long now." The tiger boy sighs, "It's taking them eternity!"

"They have already figured out the plan as we speak." Tanizaki said while typing on his computer, "They are at the final stage now; I guess they will call us soon."
