The three got inside the Millennium Tower and found hiding spots. Karina pressed a finger to her in-ear.

"Hello?"

"Yo, It's Kaito. I just sent you the photo. Later"

Kaito hung up on Karina. She pulled up the photo on her phone and showed Sugiura and Yagami.

"So this is Ishimatsu, huh? Gray suit, gloves..."

Sugiura slowly trailed off. His head was spinning still from earlier. He cleared his throat.

"We should be able to tell when he's leaving from here. Once he takes us there, we'll be ready to raid the lab"

Yagami said and leaned against a pillar. They just had to wait now. Karina pressed a finger to her in-ear.

"We're in position, Kaito. Tell Kido to make the call"

"Gotcha. It's time for your big acting debut, buddy"

Kaito said and Higashi handed Kido the phone to the trembling man. The three waited inside the Millennium Tower and kept an eye out for Ishimatsu.

"You there, Karina? Kido's call went off without a hitch. Ishimatsu's on the move"

Karina heard Kaito say.

"Great. Now we just have to find him and follow him"

"Don't fuck this up, man"

"Don't worry. Me, Yagami, and Sugiura got it covered"

She crouched down and peered around the corner, spotting him minutes after. The three followed Ishimatsu after he got off the phone. He kept turning around and checking his surroundings. Karina pressed a finger to her in-ear when she heard Sugiura's voice.

"Ugh, he's really on guard"

"Yeah. Thankfully that makes him stand out even more"

The three split up and all went in different directions. Karina followed Ishimatsu directly from behind. Yagami blended in with the crowds and Sugiura took the rooftops.

She saw him start walking away and she continued to follow him, making sure she wasn't seen. Ishimatsu stopped to take a call. Karina peered over a stone wall, trying to hear in on his conversation. His phone call didn't last long before he was on the move again.

Karina kept on his tail. He did a loop around the block he came from to make sure nobody was following him. Smart move. Something Karina would've done in Seoul. Eventually he led the three right where they wanted to go.

"...Monsieur Lee?"

Karina questioned. Sugiura and Yagami soon caught up to her.

"It's a love hotel that closed down years ago. Perfect place to set up a mad scientists lab"

Sugiura said from behind Karina. She looked back and nodded. Yagami pressed a finger to his in-ear

"Kaito, it's me"

"You find the place?"

"We've got a building that looks the part, at least. We're gonna head in"

"Be careful, man"

"Yup, let's do it"

Yagami said and walked in with the other two behind him.

"Geez, it's dark. What's the deal with this place...?"

Karina said and looked around for a light switch or something.

"Hey, you think this counts as trespassing?"
