In For A Surprise

Third-Person

Every day was the same as the last, caught up in nothing but a redundant cycle. Boring, stale, and Kaito had grown blasé with the same situations. He wasn't quite as antsy as Yuuma, but now he needed new information to arise. Neru handed over all of her former contacts and ties with Demon Fang. While Kaito felt he had all the time in the world, every lead felt like utmost importance to Yuuma. He wanted to take control over every turf as quickly as possible; dwindle Demon Fang down till they had practically nothing to back them up. There were smaller gangs who already were planning on retiring from Demon Fangs contracts, so gaining their favor wasn't going to be too difficult. The ones shrouded and tougher to contact were going to need more than small persuasions, but bold of Yuuma to assume they'd hand over their loyalty so easily.

Despite all of this, Demon Fang had considerably gone dark and Yuuma didn't like it...

They were quiet.

Too quiet.

"Kaito!" Yuuma exclaimed from the adjacent office room. He groaned and stood from his spot in the lounge, sauntering over to where Yuuma and their techie Maika.

"The location of Demon Fang's base was a bust," she told him as she shook her head at the monitor, "I had one of our infantry teams search about, but they uncovered nothing. I remember the Eros attacked some guy and a girl within this area of the forest a while back, but nothing ever yielded results. We couldn't find a base at all, even through satellite imaging. At some point, Yuuma made me track down the contacts on that girls phone, but literally nothing ever showed up. It kept pinging from different towers around the world and like hell they're in the arctics."

Yuuma slammed his hands against the table, letting out a frustrated string of curses before swiping away the container of pens. They scattered across the floor in a colorful array. Kaito leaned against the doorway and sighed, kicking a pen away from his walk space.

"Chill out, Yuuma. Maika, go take a break for now and come back later with Cul. If you really can't find anything within a day, I'll talk to Neru." Kaito said, turning to walk away.

"I'm really hoping that information that bitch sold you was fucking worth it!" Yuuma sharply shouted as he kicked at the pens on the floor. Maika rolled her eyes and closed her laptop, taking it with her to find Cul.

"What an ass," she muttered to herself as she left the area.

As Kaito walked down the hall, Neru had just rounded the corner coming from one of the rooms. She looked beyond shaken up and almost pushed past him, but he grabbed her wrist.

"We have to talk," Kaito said, his gaze burning holes into her eyes. She almost couldn't bear to look at him.

"There's really nothing for us to talk about," she attempted to pull her hand away, but Kaito's grip was tight. He was serious.

"We really do need to talk, Neru. Let's go to the room and talk there."

Neru stopped struggling and followed him back to his room. He soon let go of her wrist as she sat down on the plush bench, but she felt like bolting. Her nerves were ready to fry at nearly any second with the anticipation of his interrogation and her fear.

"Before you start," Neru began, "it's really important to me that I talk first."

She was fidgeting, but with dwindling time, Kaito was getting impatient. He kept his words to himself, allowing her to piece her words together. The blonde shuffled in her seat, but couldn't look at him. She stared down at her hands and took a shaky breath.
