Jester || Karina AESPA

004

Kaito pulled his bag to the front of his body pulled out a drone and set it on the edge of the building, then he pulled out the controller for the drone.

"A drone?"

Karina asked. Her gaze went from the drone to Kaito. He grinned and nodded, handing the remote control to Karina.

"I hope you know how to fly a drone"

Karina cracked a smile as she took the controller from Kaito.

"It's a special talent of mine"

She picked up the drone and turned it on. She set it back down turned on the controller and took flight of the drone. Kaito pulled up the installed camera for the drone on his phone.

"Fly the drone towards the building, remember the picture I showed you"

Karina nodded and flew the drone towards the building and slowly flew the drone up until Kaito made a grumbling sound with his throat.

"Got him"

Karina glanced over at Kaito who looked at her.

"We need to get inside and to his office so we can talk to him"

Karina brought the drone back to where they were and she grabbed it from the air.

"So, what is your magnificent plan?"

She asked and Kaito chuckled. He shifted his gaze to her with a grin.

"We'll need a disguise to get inside... they won't let us in willingly"

Karina sighed and leaned against the ledge. Her hair blew with the wind as she stared down the building in front of her.

"Electric company"

She said and looked at Kaito who seemed confused. He furrowed his brows.

"What?"

Karina let out a chuckle and pointed to the air conditioning units outside.

"You go get us both a disguise and I'll head over there to break the air conditioning"

Kaito shook his head. He was in sort of disbelief.

"You sure have a death wish"

Karina laughed and headed towards the ladder. She got onto it and looked back at Kaito.

"If I've lasted since I was a teenager, I'm not going down now, especially not without a fight... let's meet back here in 30 minutes"

Karina slid down the ladder and walked across the street to the KJ Art building. She approached the gate that the air conditioning units were behind.

She pushed on the gate and cursed under her breath.

"Of course, it's locked, for fucks sake I don't have time to be picking locks"

Karina got onto one knee pulled out her lockpick kit and picked the lock to the gate.

"Yes!"

She gathered her tiny tools and pushed open the gate. She put her tools into her pocket and walked over to the units.

She examined the units, inch by inch like it was vintage. Just another shit air conditioning unit was all it was.

"Well... it's now or never I guess"

Karina backed up and rammed her foot into it once, then twice, then several times before it smoked and she didn't hear buzzing anymore.

"That should do the trick"

Karina turned around and gasped, there the male in the Jester mask was just leaning against a pillar.

"Don't fucking do that"

Karina said and earned a laugh from the male. He pushed himself off and walked closer to Karina.

"You're walking on eggshells by being in Kyorei territory you know"

Karina brushed her shoulder passed the male and exited the gate, looking around in search of Kaito.

"I'm well aware, trust me"

The male followed after her and to the middle of the alleyway. She looked at him and put a hand on her hip.

"What are you doing here?"

The male shrugged and crossed his arms.

"Scouting, I used to work here, that was until I found out what dirt they had and I fled, they were going to kill me if I hadn't left willingly"

Karina hummed and started walking back toward the building where her and Kaito originally were.

"Interesting... I'm digging into the recent murders"

"Oh! You mean the Yakuza murders?"

Karina turned on her heel and put a hand on the male's chest. He was too close for her comfort.

"How do you know about that?"

"Who doesn't?"

Karina sighed and she reached for the male's mask. He stepped back and put his hand on his mask.

"I'm good"

Karina took a step closer to the male and she eyed him up and down.

"Who are you supposed to be?"

"You can call me Jester"

That name. It ringed throughout Karina's mind. She sighed and nodded.

"Got it, I'm Karina"

The male bowed respectfully and watched Karina turn her back. She climbed up the ladder once more and when she looked back down, he was gone again.

"Strange"

Kaito cleared his throat and Karina turned in his direction. He held up the disguises they'd use to infiltrate KJ Art and get answers from Murase.
