{Lira}-[enters office with a sigh]” He’s right, it wasn’t Hina’s body.”

{Tachibana}-[relieved]” Thank God.”

{Hide}-[nods his head]” Let’s get back to work now.”

{Lira}-[towards Hide]” But how did you know it wasn’t her?”

{Hide}-[snubs Lira]

{Tachibana}-” I myself I’m curious, I’m sure it wasn’t just a hunch.”

{Hide}-[annoyed]” Does it really matter now?”

{Lira}-” Yes, it does.”

{Hide}-[ashamed]” Her chest.”

{Tachibana}-[clueless]”Ehh??”

{Lira}-[smirk]” Echi(p*****t in Japanese).”

{Hide}-[angry]” What did you say?”

{Tachibana}-[catches on]” You p*****t Hide, How long have you been craving for Hina’s t**s?”

{Hide}-[furious]” Shut up Uriyu, I don’t have interest in such things.”

{Tachibana}-[smiles]” Don’t worry Hideoshi it’s normal at your age to, you’re a man you need it.”

{Hide}-” Please let’s get back to work, Hina’s still missing in case you forgot.”

{Lira}-” Yes, yes let's get your boobs back quick.”

{Ren}-[runs in panting]” Hide!”

{Hide}-” What are you doing here, Ren?”

{Ren}-” It’s Hina, she went out to the store 3 hours ago, and she’s still not back and not picking her calls.”

{Hide}-” Don’t worry just get back home and stay there.”

{Ren}-[confused]” But..?

{Tachibana}-” Don’t worry little miss everything is alright, just go back home.”

{Ren}-” Okay.”[takes her leave]

{Tachibana}-” We need to hurry up Hide.”

{Hide}-” Where is Crank currently?”

{Tachibana}-” JBI Medical Center. Why do you ask?”

{Hide}-[smirk]

Saitama Town Motel, Japan [3:39PM]

{Makshima}-” Are you hungry, little dove?”

{Hina}-[snubs him]

{Makshima}-[sighs]” Are you still angry with me even though I apologized for everything?”

{Hina}-” I don’t need your apologies, just let me go home you monster.”

{Makshima}-[emotionally hurt]” Am I that horrible?”

{Hina}-” You tried killing Ren and your mother.”

{Makshima}-[smiles]” But I didn’t look at the bright side.”

{Hina}-[angry]” You don’t know just how much I hate you Esha, I heard you’re a JCI dog just like Hide was too.”

{Makshima}-[smiles]” It seems someone has been picking interest in me. Yes, I am a ghost too, they call me G00. I don’t know how that makes sense but whatever.Oh and Esha isn’t my name little dove, it’s Makshima or Maki like old mother calls it.”

{Hina}-” Stop calling me that.”

{Makshima}-” Would you prefer my Angel then?”

{Hina}-” No, I would prefer if you let me go.”

{Makshima}-” You don’t like it here?”

{Hina}-” Not a bit.”

{Makshima}-” Even if you go back to him, he won’t let you in little dove, he’s incapable of loving.”

{Hina}-” You don’t know that.”

{Makshima}-[sighs]” I hate seeing you like this.”

{Hina}-[raises her voice]” Then let me go Makshima.”

{Makshima}-” Alright on 1 condition.”

{Hina}-” And what’s that?”

{Makshima}-” You come back to me after he rejects you.”

{Hina}-” And why would I ever do that?”

{Makshima}-” Where else do you have to go?”

{Hina}-” It’s not like I can’t keep leaving with him.”

{Makshima}-” Even when he doesn’t see you?”

{Hina}-” I can never be with a person who does the things you do.”

{Makshima}-[honesty]” Come back and I will stop.”

{Hina}-[shocked]” Why would I believe that?”

{Makshima}-” Because I can never lie to you.”

{Hina}-” You know I will never come back.”

{Makshima}-” Then there might be consequences for your decision.”

{Hina}-” Threatening someone you love?”

{Makshima}-” Things I do to make you mine, little dove.”

JBI Medical Center [3:41PM]

{Hide}-” You’re one stubborn bastard.”

{Crank}-[laying tied up on a hospital bed]” Seems the death god doesn’t want my soul.”

{Hide}-”[stares at a drip]” Is that morphine?”

{Crank}-” These wounds hurt badly. And they are still tying me up, I need it”

{Hide}-” You’re an international criminal.”

{Crank}-” Tell me something I don’t know.”

{Hide}-” Where is she?”

{Crank}-[laughs]” You came all the way here to check on me just so you could find out.”

{Hide}-” Where is Hina?”

{Crank}-” f**k you boy.”

{Hide}-” Do you know what they do to criminals like you?”

{Crank}-” Death roll.”

{Hide}-[laughs]” Maybe a decade ago but now, international criminals are sent to the worst prisons around the world to suffer till death.And looking at how bad the god of death hates your soul.It’s going to be a long time there for you.”

{Crank}-[disturbed]” Why would I help you get the girl back when that’s my fate then?”

{Hide}-[playing mind games]” Because its what I need from you,don’t know what that will be costing me though.”

{Crank}-[desperate]” My freedom.”

{Hide}-” That’s not something easy you know.”

{Crank}-” That’s my terms.”

{Hide}-” It’s going to be against my work so I can only move you out at night.”

{Crank}-[excited]” Good boy.”

{Hide}-” Her location? And I mean the real thing.”

{Crank}-” As if ever lie to you.”

{Hide}-” Where is she then.”

{Crank}-” After you take me out of this place.”

{Hide}-[gambles]” I guess things won’t work out as planned.Good bye crank enjoy your prison days.”

{Crank}-[desperate]” Wait wait, why the rush?”

{Hide}-” You’re wasting my time I have to get going.”

{Crank}-” She’s in Saitama town Motel just about 22km from here.”

{Hide}-[smiles and pulls out his gun]” Thanks Crank.”

{Crank}-[furious]” You crook you used me.”

{Hide}-[puts away his gun]” Sorry I was just confirming if you were saying the truth.”

{Crank}-[relieved]” I told you I don’t lie.”

{Hide}-[walks over to the drip]” Yah thanks.”

{Crank}-” Just keep your end of the deal.”

{Hide}-[quickly grabs a bandage and covers up Cranks mouth]

{Crank}-[difficulty in talking]

{Hide}-[opening up the flow of morphine in the drip]” I heard excess morphine kills could you confirm that for me thanks.”

[phone call]

{Hide}-[picks the call]” Uriyu I got her location.”

{Tachibana}-” That won’t be needed again Hina is here at the JBI.”

{Hide}-[shocked]” Really?”

{Tachibana}-” Yup she said she managed to run back here when she got the chance.She was in Saitama all this while.”

{Hide}-” I see,I’m going home then.”[hangs up]

{Tachibana}-[sighs]” Whats your problem Hide.”
