He glanced at a photo of someone with the same face as him before turning it over and sighing deeply.

"It's all for you, Gene..." he murmured quietly before leaving, cloaked by the moonlight.

The officer known as Kazuya Shibuya turned a page of the book he was reading and fought back a yawn as he had only obtained an hour of sleep the night before. Having multiple identities was exhausting to say the least.

His subordinate entered the office carrying a newspaper which he placed on Kazuya's desk.

Kazuya picked up the newspaper and stared at the photo taking up a majority of the front page which was of a man dressed entirely in black with a black cape and a matching mask and hat. He frowned upon observing the angle that the photo was taken from.

"That is my unflattering side," he complained as he opened the newspaper to read the accompanying article.

The other man stayed silent, accustomed to his superiors narcissistic ways.

"The elusive Phantom Thief, Kuro Kaitou strikes again, leaving Inspector Shibuya in a tizzy. An hour after the thief escaped, the Inspector was found locked in a closet..." he read aloud.

"I'm surprised that you have not been reprimanded for letting Kuro Kaitou escape for the 12th time in a row."

"Lin, no one has noticed any correlation between myself and Kuro Kaitou and considering forensics cannot even tell deduce how I gain entry without leaving behind any evidence, no one is likely to," the Inspector said unconcernedly. "I sometimes wonder about the abilities of the Japanese Police force. I cannot believe that they took an hour to find me last night, considering I suggested innocuously that if anyone went missing to check the closets."

Lin wondered how to phrase what he was going to say next, but it would hopefully bring his superior, or rather his charge, back down to earth and make him actually worry about getting caught.

"The chief of our division has been concerned about our lack of progress and we have a new officer assigned to our task force," he informed the narcissist.

The reaction was instant. "What!?" Kazuya barked. "I was not informed of this."

He closed the newspaper and opened his work email account to find that he had an email from the chief of his division concerning his abysmal progress in capturing Kuro Kaitou and a new officer would be arriving to join the task force. He scrolled down to see the name and photo of the new officer.

The photo was of a young woman who looked close to his age with short brown hair, caramel eyes and a wide smile.

"Mai Taniyama," he read out her name. "I have heard that name before."

"I believe I overheard a group of females by the vending machine, talking about her. Apparently she is a kind but unbelievingly stupid person," Lin supplied to the conversation.

Kazuya shrugged. "I don't think we will have to worry about her being a liability then. I remember now, I think she is related to that idiot officer down the hallway. The one with a ponytail."

"Noll, we will have to be careful. The chief may be suspicious and she could be a spy. Please consider her as a potential threat and stop bringing all of your supernatural books to the office, it is an giveaway."
