Koushi, to be honest, didn't really mind getting locked up. In fact, the White Crows aren't that bad. They didn't torture him, and still decided to go with normal procedures. He'll be sent to prison when Neko was caught, so he still had to wait for long.

He was humming a soft tune, watching the small rain outside, when suddenly Ryu came in with a frown on his face. The officer closed the door behind him, before looking at Koushi with worry.

"Kiyoko texted me. Keiji was found out as well. He ran away. Fought with Kenma-san, along with Hajime. It was a mess."

Koushi's eyes widened.

"You need to get back there soon. Ever since yesterday, Keiji locked himself in his room, Hajime didn't speak to anyone, and Kenma disappeared."

"He disappeared?!"

"I can't go into details, but Kiyoko kept a recording it," Ryu said, "Someone's picking you up soon. Take care. I have to go."

Koushi nodded, and Ryu unlocked the door, leaving quickly. The cuffed man only sighed slightly, leaning his chin on the desk.

'I wish Kenma wouldn't do anything foolish...'

Koushi watched as everyone left in a hurry, as if they had just found an even worse problem that they had ever did. He didn't say a thing, as he noticed how Sawamura Daichi stayed behind to watch over him.

"What happened?"

Sawamura stayed silent for a moment, before he finally said, "A member of your organization had done another graffiti. But he's alone, he was caught by the camera, and he didn't even bother to clean up his mess. Very suspicious."

Koushi cringed, "What's the number?"

"...Why do I have to tell you?"

"You have to trust me, Daichi-san. I'm worried, for both him and your team."

"... Number One. Is that your leader?"

Koushi huffed. "Yes. And if he did that, then he's not in his best mood."

"And how does it affect us?"

"He's not the most stable person around, he's dangerous. Especially now. You need to warn your team."

"How can I know that you're not lying, Sugawara-san?"

Koushi shook his head, "Please, just trust me. I don't want to see him kill another people."

Sawamura's eyes widened slightly, before he let out a soft sigh, "Thank you, Suga-san. I'll inform them now."

As the officer left, Koushi couldn't help but to wonder if Kenma will be alright. He has the agility, the flexibility, the intelligence. But again, he's not in control of his emotions. He can be reckless and it could lead to danger.

A few seconds passed, and the topic left his mind. Why?

Because in front of him, stood Lev and Shouyou, wearing their gang's jacket, holding a spare one as well.

"Let's go, Kou-san!"

Koushi almost choked on his own spit, "What the hell are you doing here?!"

"Saving you, of course!" This time Lev spoke up, as he pulled Koushi away from the chair, dragging him towards the open window.

"Oi, what are you-... Koushi stopped as he realized what was going on. Lev forced him to have his cuffed wrists out of the window, and on the building across them, there was a sniper.

"Who's that?!"

"Kei. He said he would help us. Now stay still so he could shoot the cuffs properly, okay?" Koushi obeyed, frozen in his position until a bullet hit the metal cuffs, breaking him free. Lev grinned widely, while Shouyou handed him the jacket.

Koushi only let out another deep breath. "Do you have leader's permission to use a riffle in public, went into a government building and released a prisoner?"

"Kozu-san disappeared last night," Lev mumbled, "and we really need you."

"... Fine." Koushi pulled up his hood, and began to make his way out of the room, "Let's hurry and escape now."

Once again, Kuroo was left dumbfounded at the crime scene. He wouldn't exactly say it was a crime this time, since it didn't involve any kind of offense to the authority, but it was somehow also disturbing.

'I'm waiting.' It was all that was written. It was written messily, so unlike the cat form a few days ago. But then again, it was different. It was drawn not with spray paint, but with brush. And it didn't have The Golden Cats' symbol at the corner.

Only a small nose between whiskers, 3 on each sides, and a pair of cat ears on the 'NEKO' text above it.

"I guess he didn't do it as a group?" Kageyama asked. Kuroo nodded slightly, but froze when he heard another question.

"Isn't this your phone, Yamaguchi?"

The leader quickly grabbed the device from Azumane, and frowned. It looked like new, not broken, . He turned on the screen, to found out it wasn't locked. "Yamaguchi, hurry and check it."

Yamaguchi did as what he was told, and soon showed the screen back to Kuroo.

It was a new recording file, titled, "I'm Waiting." Just like the graffiti.

"Play it."

Yamaguchi pressed "Play", and they recording started. It sounded static at first, but then they could heard the sound of papers shufflings.

'Hello, White Crows. This is Neko, as you probably had already know. I'm in a hurry, so I'll make this short.'

After that, the sound of a gun, or maybe a riffle, being reloaded.

'Our game is getting boring. And I began to hate this. What will you do to a video game that bores you?'

Kuroo narrowed his eyes. Footsteps. It echoed, so the recorder was able to caught it, but it sounded too calm, it seemed abnormal. Slow, steady, and yet it sent chills down his spine.

'Hypothetical question. I'll delete it, uninstall it, you know what I mean. I won't waste my time on things that don't entertain me. Wouldn't you agree?'

Another sound, that seemed like a windowsill slided open. Something heavy was set on the said windowsill.

'So, I'll give you a week to find me. On the eighth day, I'll begin to erase you, one by one. By the time I'm done, there will be no trace of your existence, except for memories. Not that I can't erase those, too, but you're not that important.'

A trigger was pulled, the riffle was shot. There was silence, not for long, because the faint sound of alarms and screams was heard, as if it was from a good distance away.

'I'm not bluffing. You want proof? Satori Tendou, try looking that up. I need to go, so, see you soon. As I said, I'm waiting, Tetsu-chan.'

Another static, and the recording was over.

"Oikawa, Bokuto, I'll leave that to you."

The two nodded, and while Kageyama and Yaku began the documentation of the crime scene, Kuroo walked around, thinking about the background sound of the recordings. A large firearm, sniper, empty building, assassination. It was a new topic, sickening but actually interesting.

"Nishinoya?" Azumane's voice could be heard breaking the silence. Kuroo turned almost immediately, and he scoffed at the newcomer.

A young man wearing a thick brown coat, a scarf around his neck. He was shorter than average, his wild dark brown hair styled upwards, the tiny tuft of hair that fell over his forehead appeared to be bleached a dirty blond. His eyes were brown and slanted, but Kuroo didn't fail notice a slight glint of shock, caution and fear.

The first was quite understandable, but the last was strange.

"A-Asahi-san? What are you doing here?"

Stutter. Getting even more suspicious.

"It's my job. But what about you, Noya? How are you? Did they release you early?"

"Yeah, they did. And I'm fine, Asahi-san. Well, I guess I should leave, right? I don't want to bother you at work. See you later!"

The young man ran off, and Kuroo's attention went back to Azumane. "Who was that?"

Azumane scratched the back of his head, getting nervous, "Nishinoya Yuu. A hospital patient I met during my time as a volunteer. We became friends and I stayed in contact with him."

"... I hate to say this, but now I really think that Neko wasn't lying. We know their members, we just haven't realize it yet," Bokuto stated, crossing his arms.

"What are you trying to imply?"

"Don't you notice, Azumane-san? Back then, your friend looked like he was looking for someone, but he found us instead. And he looked so tense, as if he was afraid of us," Oikawa explained.

"We're soldiers. Isn't it normal?" this time, Kageyama spoke up. But Yaku shook his head.

"Normal citizens won't felt fear. Maybe just respect, which made them feel a bit wary, but not fear. It's not the same thing."

Kuroo nodded, "We can't prove it yet, but it seemed like we have found another member of them."
