Phichit

"Yep Boss, got it! I'll start snooping right away!" I give Boss a salute and rush to my room.

I quickly pull up 10 articles about the Russian Mafia group Ice. I scan through all 10 quickly. Nope none of them told me anything new. I then went back to trying to get through Ice's firewall protecting all their important online documents.

"Ok lets forget about the master password set by Yakov, hummmm, think whose account could you hack into?... someone who is forgetful... someone who wouldn't cheat their site, but still be important enough to access top secret information." I furrow my brow." Think think... OH Victor!!! He'd be an easy one."

"Ok... username... Viktya... Viktyaisthebest... password: Yuri'sass"

"Password denied" I groan. But at least I got the username right.

"Ok lets try again password... YuriKatsuki<3"

"Password accepted."

"Great!" I smile to myself. Now I'm in. I fist check Victor's messages he has 2157 unread messages telling me that he hasn't been on in a while. I go to the sent folder to find out Victor's writing style... I open up the most recent message he sent from his gang's email (which was 3 months ago... does this say something about him?... I mean he's considered top notch as a mafia member... ranking number 1 in the world... and he hasn't checked his email for 3 months!!!). The last email he sent was confirming the trip to Japan:

It's Official!!!👍👏🎊 we're going to JAPAN everyone!!!🎊🎊🎉🎉🎊🎊🏮🏮🏮🔫🔫🔫💴🔫🔫🔫❤️❤️❤️🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵

Wow... lots of emojis...  too much even for me. I start to go back through the thread. It was titled "Trip". I scroll through arguments and arguments, and finally, I reach the bottom. I notice that the first email was actually sent by Yakov. I draw my brows together. Why would Yakov want to come to Japan?

I check who is in the email thread. Pretty much all of Ice... Quickly I exit that email thread. The next most recent email caught my eye. This email thread was titled: Get it together.

Immediately interested, I open up the thread and click on the most recent email (5 months ago... wow this guy really doesn't check his messages much). It was from Victor. I read:

No, not Japan, we can't do that there... lets do it somewhere else.

I was intrigued. In the previous email thread, Victor seemed super excited to go to Japan. What happened in a two month span that would make him change his mind?...and what are they talking about what are they doing in Japan?!?

Yuri

I'm in the kitchen making a cup of coffee, and Phichit comes staggering down the stairs looking as if he pulled an all nighter.

"Was is social media that kept you up?" I ask

He groans, "No it's just that I'm trying to crack this problem on this mission I'm doing right now. And it's just not working!"

"What's the mission about?"

He tenses up. Well clearly I'm not supposed to know or ask about the mission.

"It's fine Phichit, you don't have to tell me. If dad doesn't want you to tell me, I won't push it out of you." I say smiling. I hate it that I'm never let in on missions. If I can't even know the mission my best friend is assigned to, what am I allowed to know?!?

"Coffee?" I ask

"Oh hell yas, I need that caffeine, or I'm gonna fall asleep in Math." Phichit says groaning.

"You'd fall asleep anyways, it doesn't matter if you had a cup of coffee. Plus you'd still get 100% anyways, you might as well stay at home and sleep." I reason, concerned about Phichit's lack of sleep.

"You think I can do that?" Phichit asks, " I mean I don't want to fall behind on anything"

"Since when were you worried about that?" I laugh, " Just sleep and rest your body. If you are worried about catching up, I can just give you my notes."

"Thanks Yuri, your the best!" Phichit gives me a hug. " oh and how was yesterday?"

"Um..." trying to find a word to describe what happened yesterday." It was uh... interesting..."

Phichit snorts. "Interesting?... did you overhear any conversation by any chance?"

"No why?"

"Nothing- no reason, I'm just wondering..."

"About?"

"About..."

"Russian gossip?"

"Yes exactly that! Yes that!" Phichit says way too fast and way to energetically than needed.

"Ok then... I gotta go... have fun sleeping I guess... and finishing your mission." I say exiting the kitchen.

"Thanks, have fun at school!" Phichit calls after me.

He's so lucky to be able to stay at home and probably still get 100% on tests.

Hatsesu's castle was oddly empty. But today is Friday, and on most Fridays people went out. I sigh starting to head to school. Well a day with out Phichit only had one pro... faster and stronger wi-fi.
