"Wow, it's nice to meet you once again. I'm glad this time I'm not tied up to a chair and starved for almost 2 days." Ace waved at the approaching officer who was holding that eye-burning bag with him. A bag of goddamn marshmallows. He didn't even remember how many times those sweet goodies taunted him while he was forced to watch Byakuran consume them.

"Oh~ It's Acey~ How nice seeing you again as well!" Byakuran laughed and turned to Akiyama.

"Hmm~ Ohh you've got yourself a nice company~" Byakuran hummed and laughed slightly.

"Are you in charge of giving us the watches?" Akiyama asked flatly. He didn't like... pretty much everything about the man. His words, gestures, and his eyes were all tied together with one thing. Emptiness. He didn't mean a single word he said. They were the same type of people. Though completely different in what they pursue.

"Hmm. Don't look at me like that~ You're scaring me~" Byakuran faked a gasp and chucked more marshmallows into his mouth.

"Also... Here sign this~" Byakuran handed the two of them a document of some sort. Ace and Shinichi glanced at each other. Needless to exchange words, it was Akiyama who read the document while Ace caught up with Byakuran.

"Sooo... Have you reinvestigated my alleged crimes yet? I'm telling you I didn't do any of that." Ace looked at Byakuran expectantly.

"Hahaha~ Of course not~ Do you think I have enough time for that? Can't you see I'm pretty preoccupied at the moment~" Byakuran continued to devour the marshmallows, and opened a second packet.

Before Ace could retort back, Akiyama informed him that the contract was legitimate, and it was okay for them to sign. Taking his word for it, Ace grabbed the pen Akiyama was holding and signed his own name without a second thought.

Byakuran ripped the first page off the document; the one with their signatures, and handed them the rest of the document.

"The details of the game is in this document, good luck in the game and Acey... Be careful as to who you team up with~ That man's an ex convict who just got released recently. And yea~ He was arrested for swindling many~ many~ people~" Dropping a bomb just like that, Byakuran handed the two of them a watch each, waved, and took his leave. Leaving behind a dumbstruck Ace, and a silently cursing Akiyama.

Awkward silence fell upon the two before Akiyama couldn't take it anymore. "Listen -"

"Holy shit that's amazing!" Ace squealed in excitement. "Why didn't you tell me beforehand? Whoa we're totally gonna win this now! And if you're wondering, I've been imprisoned before for knocking over an apple cart and letting a dog out of a bar so we can totally have like midnight conversations and relate to each other. Gosh I couldn't have met a more perfect partner"

Akiyama truly questions himself. What has he gotten himself into? But before he could have time to regret his decision, both their watches began flashing simultaneously.
