66 - Operation: Rescue Hitoshi

-Y/n POV-

You step out of the cab in front of a place with a neon sign that reads 'Tanaka's Pub'. After paying the driver, you close the door behind you and watch as the car rolls away. Turning back to the pub, you see a woman outside smoking a cigarette. She eyed you up from where she was standing. "Aren't you a little young to be at a bar, kid?" she asks.

You offer her a friendly smile. "I'm just waiting for someone!" She nods her head in response and returns to her smoking. At that moment, the door swings open and out steps a man about your height. You couldn't see his face, but from the dim light of a nearby streetlamp, you saw that he had shaggy light blue hair that hung down over his eyes. He was wearing a black hoodie, black pants and red shoes. "His shoes kind of remind me of Midoriya's..."

He pulled the hood of his sweatshirt up over his head, sticking his pinky fingers out as he did so.

"That was... odd..."

Stuffing his hands in the pocket of his hoodie, he turned and started walking down the sidewalk. You quickly pulled out the GPS on your phone and saw that he was heading in the direction of the factory. You stuffed the phone back in your pocket and ducked into the shadows of the side of the pub, pulling out the device from Hatsume. Swiftly, you placed 'The Finder' around your head, turned it on and pulled up your own hood before following the man, being sure to keep a safe distance.

As you walked, you could hear his footsteps through the device, but you could hardly see him in the darkness of the night. Then you remembered that Hatsume had told you that there was a night vision mode that can be activated with a switch on the side. Reaching up, you felt around for the switch and flipped it on. Instantly, you could clearly see everything that was around you as though you were in broad daylight. You focused your eyes on the man ahead of you and watched him as he walked. As an extra precaution, you dampened the sound of your footsteps with your quirk so that he couldn't hear you. As you followed him, you saw him turn into an alleyway. Once you reached it, you slowly peeked around the corner and saw him still walking ahead of you.

"This almost seems too easy..."

You checked your phone again... He was still heading in the direction of the factory. You walked through the alley, keeping an eye on the man and being careful to avoid running into anything. As you approached a garbage can, a cat suddenly jumped across your path and hissed at you. The sound reverberated off of the walls, and the man stopped in his tracks and spun around. You froze as soon as he stopped walking and immediately used your quirk to hide yourself from his view just as he turned to look behind him.

"Please don't say he saw me, please don't say he saw me..."

After a few seconds, he turned forward again and continued on his path. Through the device around your head, you heard him mutter under his breath, "Stupid cat..." You noticed that his voice was very throaty and dry-sounding as he spoke. You released a breath that you didn't realize you were holding.

"Holy shit... That was close."

-------------------------------

You continued following him, checking your phone every couple of minutes to make sure that you were going in the right direction. Sure enough, you eventually approached an old, run-down building. There were some trees nearby, and you ducked behind them and hid in the shadows. The man walked up to what looked like a large garage door and stood there for a couple of seconds before it opened in front of him. You used The Finder to look inside and only saw stacks upon stacks of wooden crates. As the door closed, you peered into the darkened corners outside the door and spotted a hidden security camera. "Great... Now I have to worry about those." You checked the time on your phone. "8:45. That leaves me 45 minutes to find Hitoshi, get out and contact Chikuchi."
