There wasn't anything too bad said in the news.

I checked it after the call from Angie and apart from the respresentatives elections were near and this is why they were so butthurt over our action with Serano.

Honestly they're a pain in the ass.

But they're our bosses.

Aramaki's bosses.

I'm starting to get worried now.

Nevermind... Just focus on to get to the main building as soon as possible.

----- TIME SKIP -----

I arrived to the garage.

It's empty.

I mean LITERALLY empty.

No cars.

Nothing and nobody around.

Something's off...

As I went upstairs and entered the office I found myself in front of the whole team.

Well, almost.

Selvaggia, Saito, Borma, Pazu, Ishikawa.

They were all there, only waiting for me.

- Sorry for being late! - I said.

- I'll be short! - Selvaggia started - The Board of Representatives decided to disband Section 9, but instead of simply disbanding they decided at the destruction.

Everybody groaned, including me.

- I got a ciphered message from the boss, ordering us to stay alive - she added - I'm not planning to do otherwise... I don't know about you...

- We're with you! - I immediately said which lead her to look at me from the corner of his eyes, giving me a soft smile.

- Good. German!

- Yes?

- Get 4 android bodies here! Quick! I'll tell you my plan later!

She then turned to Borma and Pazu, the two that always looked more like some Yakuza's, ready to kill for money and shit.

- Get the bomb here and make sure it starts within 10 minutes!

They nodded.

- And one more thing - she added as she gave a little microchip to Ishikawa and Pazu - Take these!

- What's up with these? - asked Pazu.

- These chips have all the truth about Serano, the medicine and all the drama. Make sure it gets out to the public as quick as possible.

The two nodded and just as she finished speaking we heard a huge explodion from upstairs.

- They're already here? - Saito groaned.

- Come on, people! Get going! - she shouted.

----- TIME SKIP -----

I got the bodies and the bomb was already in place.

If you'd ask where the tachikomas are and why aren't we use them it's because they were sent back to the labor.

----------

- What? Why do you want to send them back?! - I snapped.

Selvaggia called me in a different office, where the tachis can't listen to us.

- They became more aware of things they shouldn't - she replied - Life... Meaning of life and many more which can be deadly in a fight.

I sighed painfully.

I know they're only robots, but I began to like them... Mostly one of them... A very hyperactive one that's always running around whenever I was.

They were really nice, but I knew what Selvaggia was talking about.

I realized that myself too.

And I knew she was right.

And as much as I wanted to be against this... I couldn't.

She was the major...

And the boss will agree with her.

- Whatever... - I groaned as I simply jumped up and left, without saying anything more.

I could feel her eyes on me, but I didn't turn back.

I just didn't want to argue.

----------

- What now? - I asked her once when I got back with the unused androids.

- We need to win some time from them - she said and shot all the androids once in the head.

And only seconds later we heard hard footsteps, coming from the corridor.

- Get ready... They're coming...
