as officer kirigiri and kaito momota began to approach gonta's house, kaito grew nervous.
he hadn't had time to check his phone- between driving to gonta's house and almost getting arrested, he hadn't a moment to do so.

so he really didn't know what was going on at the meeting.
he hoped it was something productive enough that kirigiri wouldn't lock him up.

"this is the place? i see," kirigiri remarked. "...kinda tiny, damn."
kaito sighed, "just- just please knock on the door-!"
kirigiri reluctantly knocked.

gonta swung open the door.
"greeti-"

he paused.
he looked at kirigiri. then back at kaito. then back at kirigiri. then back at kaito.
"who-?"
he was at a loss for words.

"momota, is this your police officer friend, or something along those lines?," gonta asked.

"nah, dude... I just met her, like, one chapter ago," kaito mumbled. "but that's not the point. point is that she's willing to help us."

kirigiri nodded. "indeed, we did only meet recently in the clusterfuck that was chapter 30. despite all that... I know a thing or two about the organization you're plotting against, and I did come to help."

gonta stepped aside, gesturing for kaito and kirigiri to enter his home.
"right this way."

the two walked over to where maki and miu sat.
kirigiri did not take a seat, so as to seem professional.
kaito, scared of kirigiri, stood as well, to seem less like the reckless criminal kirigiri had first thought him to be and more like a respectable gentleman.

gonta, after closing the door, plopped back down on his seat, in a very un-gentlemanly manner.

what contrast!

"alright, tell me all you know about v3 so far," kirigiri demanded, crossing her arms menacingly.

"did you not read the past 30 chapters?," gonta inquired. "my apologies if the query came off as rude..."
kirigiri nodded. "yes. but I think that you should give some exposition so that the readers will be reminded of the story. That way, the info bomb i'm about to drop will make more sense."

gonta began to recap what him and his friends had experienced.
"it all began very recently, when v3 began to kidnap my friends. the first one to go was a man by the name of korekiyo shinguji. the second incident involved the taking of shuichi saihara. the third involved the disappearance of tenko chabashira and ryoma hoshi. the fourth incident involved the disappearance of words I can use to describe that someone is missing. anywhom, after all of this went down, we decided we would flee the country and trick v3 into thinking we were in a completely different location.  that way we would be safe."

kirigiri took a moment to think.
"first of all, i am sorry for your many losses. secondly, i myself have some intel on v3. in fact, i ran into a member of v3 once. oddly, they all have branded shirts, which makes them really obvious, but nonetheless- i tailed the guy for a bit, only to discover he was meeting up with some buddies, who also worked for v3."

"what did you do then?," maki asked excitedly. "did you lock em up? say something badass before ambushing them?"

"...i took a picture of them," kirigiri stated bluntly. "and then had it analyzed. turns out, those v3 members all worked for an old television production company. the company shut down after a huge lawsuit involving murder. but now, it appears, its former members have banded together for some reason."

"so we're up against a bunch of goofy guys?," miu wondered aloud, tilting her head to one side. "but why would a bunch of goofy guys kidnap children?"

"i'll find their motive, and i'll take them down myself. but since you kids are working on stopping them as well, i ask that you give me any info you may find, as well as keep yourselves safe."
kirigiri sighed.
"and before you ask, i promise we will find the kidnapped teenagers. just give it time."
