"YOU WHAT?!!!" Doppo exclaimed after I got home and told him where I had been.

"I was kidnapped by the Port Mafia. I can't get any more black and white than that," I deadpanned.

"Did they hurt you? What did they do?" He frantically asked, his overprotective brother side kicking in.

"I'm fine. I just got a punch to the face and a kick to the arm. Now, shouldn't we be getting to work? We're close to running late." I changed the subject.

"Right." He recomposed himself before we headed out. "You and Dazai will have to write a report about it."

"Okay~" I really didn't care that I had to write a report, as long as I could avoid big-overprotective-brother Doppo.

We got to work and I was sitting in my spot next to my brother and writing my report.

"Why are the two of us roommates?!" Atsushi exclaimed across from me.

"We just don't have any more space," Dazai replied while slacking off on his work and reading his book, as usual.

"Seriously?" Atsushi sat back down in his chair.

"She was happy to do it."

"Ordered to," Kyoka corrected in a monotonous tone.

"You understand, Atsushi."

Dazai waved Atsushi to lean closer and told him something as I stretched my arms and hands. 

'Man... I don't mind writing reports but my poor fingers are getting numb,' I thought to myself as Atsushi stood up.

"I understand. I'll do my best," he said.

Dazai turned away from him with that look he has when he's messed with someone.

"Instead of messing with Atsushi, why don't you write up your report, Dazai?" Doppo said as he was working.

Dazai turned back to Atsushi before saying, "Atsushi," in a serious tone.

"Yes," Said boy replied.

"I want you to write a report for me."

"Huuuh?" Atsushi questioned with sweatdrops.

"It's going to be all about the person who placed the bounty on your head." That got everyone's heads perked up except for mine.

"You know who it is?"

"Going off the Port Mafia's records," Dazai held up the flash drive we used. "It looks like it was the leader of an American organization of the gifted called, 'The Guild'."

"I thought that they were just an urban legend," Doppo said with a raised brow. "It's said their members hold key positions in finance, politics, and the military, allowing them to utilize their vast influence for nefarious purposes. What would a group like that want with Atsushi?"

"Who knows? All we know is that they are real and want Atsushi," I said before getting back to typing my report.

Then there was the sound of a helicopter outside that made me stop typing again.

"You all have got to come see this!" Tanizaki exclaimed after he opened the door.

We all hurried up to the roof to see a black helicopter landing in the middle of the elevated highway.

"Guess our report will have to wait," Dazai said as three people came out of the helicopter.

I recognized the one in the middle to be Francis Scott Fitzgerald and the girl to his right to be Lucy Maud Montgomery. I didn't know much about the members of The Guild in general except their names, appearances, and that they have abilities.
