Those That We Protect

---------------------------------------------------------

In two days time, you and Uraraka began your investigation on the mystery woman that attacked the two of you.

Not that there was a great need to investigate. All you would really have to do is question as many Guojiadizi members as possible to find out anything you can.

The gang was spread throughout the country, with several members being placed in each available prison.
It wouldn't be possible to go around to every single prison, so you two had to choose one.

The most logical choice was the prison nearest to Trias Keep, the Guojiadizi base. The two of you arrived at the minimum security prison, Rorah Seiyu, at around midday.

You and Uraraka made your way through the prison. It wasn't your standard facility, as it was created for rehabilitation.

As such, the prison was divided into two. There were a couple buildings that were actually cells, while several buildings housed all kinds of places for the prisoners to work.

Since it was daytime, a majority of the inmates would be working. From what the two of you were told, all of the former Guojiadizi gangsters had jobs here. They probably wouldn't like being disturbed.

The two of you came to a stop just before exiting the entrance building.

"Was it really a good idea to not bring Tanahashi along with us? It would've made this go a lot faster if the three of us were questioning." Uraraka asked you.

"I'm sure it would've, but I don't know how much he'd like going from one prison to another. I talked it over with him actually."

---------------------------------------------------------

"Questioning? That's your plan? That's not exactly my specialty. I had people do that sort of thing for me." Tanahashi said from his seat behind the visitor's glass.

"So that's how it is? You don't think it's an effective use of your skills? Alright then, consider my invitation revoked." Was your response.

"That's part of it. As long as I'm involved in this hunt of yours in some way, I get my sentence reduced." He explained.

"If you keep providing me work like this, I should be out in no time at all." Tanahashi added.

"Hmph. You'll get involved, don't worry. Let me ask you again, do you really not know anything about this woman we're looking for?" You asked.

"Not a damn thing. I told you, I've never been to the main base, and I only met the Guo siblings once. I couldn't tell you the names of any of the other members, I never gave a damn about them." He described, as he placed his arm on the counter to lean forward.

"Just making sure. I'll call for you when we gather information.
Then, you'll be able to put your hunting skills to use." You said, as you got up from your chair to leave.

"That's a name they gave me. I never claimed to be a hunter." Tanahashi said as you opened the door to leave.

You stopped and turned your head to look at him out of the corner of your eye.

"You say that, but you're extremely good at it. I should know." You said with a sly smile.

Tanahashi gave you a small smirk in response, and you left the room soon after.
