"You put what on Saiki?!"

Toritsuka groaned. Wow, Saiki was right about the entire friend group being over dramatic.

"Come on Kuboyasu, aren't you guys curious about what he does after school?"

"You could've asked him"

"He wouldn't answer me"

Today on; Toritsuka's various terrible ideas.

He bought a cheap tracking device and somehow managed to put it in Saiki's things. It's not like Saiki didn't notice, he just didn't care. It was only Toritsuka after all. He already knew about the hitman thing so if he followed the esper then it didn't matter.

What Saiki didn't realize was that the group was incredibly susceptible to peer pressure.

"Come on, it'll be fun!"

"What if he sees us?"

"If he does then this was Aiura's idea"

Aiura was only half listening but she didn't like any of this the second her name was brought up.

"What? Why me?!"

"Because he won't kill you"

Which was true. Saiki was much fonder of Aiura.

Good evening, Ryuzaki

She yelped. Honestly this was his favorite pastime before missions, scaring his handlers. They never got used to him being in their heads without ear pieces.

Arthur told me that was unsettling but I didn't realize how unsettling

Sorry

It's fine, you know where the target is?

His bedroom. I decided to do this one with my ring on so you won't hear from me for a while

Why?

For fun. Plus it's easier to concentrate when I can't hear anyone in the vicinity's thoughts

Ok, be careful Kana. You've got three hostages in there with those guys

Today Saiki was called in to assist some rich woman. She wanted her daughter and daughters friends back. The police hadn't helped much and they couldn't locate the girls. Actually they assumed the girls ran away. So with an ex-cop turned private investigator, she found them and now it was Saiki's job to get rid of the lunatics that had taken them.

Why? Because the PI can't make arrests and jail was not what she had planned for these people.

Kana? You still there?

Are you sure I'm the best man for the job? You know what they've been through

You're a teenager, you'll probably be the least threatening person with them right now

Teenage psychic slash contract killer slash... hostage rescuer?

They don't know about the psychic part, kid

Right

You got your gun?

And my knife

Good, try not to traumatize the girls more

I'll try

How's your spy mission going?

It's just a surveillance mission, Ryuzaki

Have you gotten close to the target's son yet?
