Living With Lies || Gojo Satoru

Chapter 5

Satoru made his way towards the big glass table in his office, his white shirt was stained with blood, blood that was dripping down his arm and on to the white tiled floor getting smeared by his dust covered shoes, he shouted at a young looking boy who was only passing by his office with a stack of papers to get Geto and Shoko.

Satoru tugged open his shirt buttons when Shoko came into view, making a beeline straight to Gojo not saying a word and started treating his burns and cuts especially the small yet deep one on his shoulder, the cause of most of the bleeding.

What if it scarred. Satoru knows three days wasn't enough time to heal it. What if Fumio asks about it, which he most definitely will, he had to make something believable up, excuses. Lying, that's all he's good at.

Geto came towards Satoru who cursed and gave Geto a look.

"I know Sato. I'm working on the facial recognition. It's taking time the image I received was not only blurry but the guy was wearing a mask, that's not a lot to work with"

Satoru lets out a exaggeratedly loud sign "Just please find that Bastard"

Geto made his way out but before that he turned around and asked "Do you want me to make your report"

"No it's fine, I'll handle it"

"It's going to scar" Shoko said as she moved away from him putting her supplies back into the first aid kit and making her excit.

Gojo could only curse and slump into his chair. Giving it a few minutes to figure out a solid lie, he went around the table to pull the first drawer that had his phone in it. He had to tell Fumio something regarding his injury or else when his husband's going to see it for the first time he will definitely make a big deal about it and that will make Satoru lying to him that mush harder.
He sent an official complaint to a local police station about a petty snatching and mild assult. Once that was done and set and his back story for the lie was complete he texted Fumio, he had to be over the top and in character.

HubbaHubba😤
I WAS ASSAULTED TODAY!!!
IM BLEEDING I NEED SURGERY AND A TRANSPLANT!!!

Satoru waited a few moments before his phone started buzzing indicating Fumio was calling him he picked up after the fourth buzz.

'What the hell happened'. Fumio's worried and angry voice could be heard regardless of the fact that the phone was not on speaker.

"ehehe nothing to worry about I'm fine" Satoru got up from his seat and moved towards his office door closing it and turning on the air conditioner to full, walking back and sitting down.

'what do you mean your fin-what happened Satoru" Fumio all but demanded to know.

"I got mugged" Satoru signed "Some dude got me cornered in a allyway after I left the cab from the airport, he took my laptop bag my wallet not this phone because it was in my back pocket he took my spare phone, he even took the fancy airport chocolates I bought"
Satoru lied through his teeth keeping his voice natural.

'Those things are replaceable. Are you hurt'

Satoru faked a nervous laugh with a slight edge to his voice he spoke "Funny thing about that. I honestly don't even remember how and what happened but I might have fallen over I really can't remember, it all happened so fast, kinda hurt my shoulder but aside from that I'm fine. I took a muscle relaxant"

Fumio was quite on the other line 'Hurt your shoulder how bad is it?"

"Just a small cut"

'Do you want me to come there I'll take the next flight'

"No no no that's fine I'm perfectly allright I was just shocked for a little while but I'm perfectly fine now like you said I could just buy a new laptop and besides I'll be back in two days"

'Are you sure?'

"Yes, I'm sure"

'Alright. Take care of yourself please and come back in one piece'

Satoru laughed a genuine laugh "I will. Love you"

'Love you too' And with that he hanged up

Satoru looked at his phone for a few seconds before groaning and slamming his head down on the glass table with a dull thud.

"We have a lead" Geto called over Satoru the next morning.

"You got a face for me?" Satoru asked surprised and power walked towards Getos desk and many computer.

"No. facial recognition was a dead end. I got a lead on their next target. They are following a shuffle pattern, took me a while but I cracked it. Their next target is Kimuni Fugou, you might probably know him and he is worth thirty million. Timing somewhere after dusk and location Shibuya, cross tower"

Satoru patted Geto's back multiple times with a huge grin on his face. "Suguru this is why you are the damn best!"

Satoru made his move towards the supply room that stored all the weapons and cool gadgets and weaponized toys "Get me some washable hair dye and a change of clothes" he said to the supplier attende who hurried away to get Gojo's stuff.

Satoru started going through weapons that he will most definitely need.
