"Madara! What are you doing—"

Madara covered Carrie's mouth. He quietly closed the door behind him, the took his hand off of Carrie's mouth.

"What is it?" Carrie whispered.

"I think someone is following me."

"What?! Why?" Carrie loudly whispered.

"Yesterday, the police came to my office to ask questions about him since I was the last person seen with him before the incident." Madara whispered. "Ever since the meeting, I've been noticing this man who seems to be following me."

"Then why did you come here?"

"To tell you that the police are now investigating people who had contacted Sasori 3 days before what happened."

"Do you know when they're coming?"

"They'll probably come in about 2 days."

"You can come in if you want."

Madara walked into the living room, where Sasori was, and sat down on the couch.

"What does the person following you look like?" Carrie asked.

"He has short blond hair, blue eyes, he's about 5'6, and I think he's a new officer."

'Naruto!' Carrie thought.

"I'll be right back." Carrie said, and quickly went to her room.

She quickly took a shower and got dressed.

Carrie: Do you want to go out for ramen?
Naruto: Sure 😁 Ichiraku?
Carrie: Okay 😄 Is 4:00 okay?
Naruto: That's perfect. See you there!

Carrie went back into the living room.

"I think I know who's following you."

"Who?"

"Someone that I know just joined the Konoha Police Department, and he has short blond hair, blue eyes, and he's 5'5. I'm meeting with him now."

"So if it is him?"

"Then I can figure out what the police are doing next."

Madara nodded.

"Is it okay if I stay here a little longer?"

"Yeah, of course. I'm going to go, though. I'm meeting Naruto in 30 minutes."

"Thanks. Be careful."

"Ok, I will."

—————TIME SKIP—————

By the time Carrie got there, Naruto was sitting down at a table by a window. She sat down in the chair across from him.

"Hey, Carrie! How's it going?"

"Good! How's work going?"

"It's great! I just started the Sasori case today."

"Cool. What have you been doing for the case?" Carrie asked while discreetly recording the conversation.

"Well, I'm not supposed to say anything, but," Naruto said while leaning into Carrie's ear, "I'm following Madara Uchiha."

"Why?!"

"He came in contact with him 3 days before the attack."

"Do you know if they'll interrogate me?"

"I can't say anything about that. But I do know they interrogated someone else. I forgot his name though."

'Deidara.'

"Did you order the food, yet?" Carrie asked.

"Yeah, I came here a little early, so I ordered the ramen."

"Okay. I'll be right back, I'm going to go wash my hands." Carrie said, and went to the bathroom, and brought her phone with her.

Once she got went into the bathroom, she stopped recording, and texted Deidara.

Carrie: Have the police talked to you
Deidara: Yes
Carrie: What did they say
Deidara: I'll tell you in person. They hacked my phone.
Carrie: How did you find out
Deidara: My phone has been acting weird since they came. Have they talked to you
Carrie: No, not yet
Deidara: Then, can we meet at your house?
Carrie: Okay. What time?
Deidara: Is 6:00 good
Carrie: That's good
Deidara: Okay, see you soon
Carrie: Okay. Bye

Carrie washed her hands, and went back to the table. The ramen had just come out. Carrie and Naruto talked and ate their ramen.

After they finished eating, they said their goodbyes, and left. Carrie quickly (but safely) drove home, wondering what happened to Deidara.
