Ineffable | One

"So, as you already know," Kuroo began, "I have chosen all of you as a part of my team. We were ordered to bring down The Golden Cats, and I plan to do that before this year ends, which gives us around 3 months. I'm sure it's not impossible, knowing your skills and all."

A hand was raised.

"Yes, Yamaguchi-san?"

"How will we start our investigation? We know almost nothing about them."

"Well, more like we didn't. I've done my researches, and it led to good things, actually," Oikawa stated, wearing his usual smirk, "They had some kind of uniform as a sign of their membership, and if you spot anyone with that, then the next will be easy." He pulled out an envelope, and dropped all the contents onto the table. Lots of photographs, all with a small item circled red.

"TGC tattoo, which stands for The Golden Cats. Small, underlined letters, usually on their necks or wrists. There's also pendants. A golden cat on a necklace, and also a pair of earrings, each shaped like an eye, made of gold. Beautiful, I'll say," he commented.

"Wait. If we have these photos, then that means we can track the owner, right?" Sawamura asked, narrowing his eyes.

"Ah. All these photos are found on their public website. We can't track them down somehow, they have the skills to block us out," Azumane replied.

"So, all we have to do is to find anyone with those signs, right?"

"I'm not done yet, Ennoshita. As I've said before, several signs. There's also a tattoo shaped like their gang symbol, which you can found on each of their graffiti."

"A grinning cat?" Kageyama asked.

"Yeah, with two 'K' letters as the eyes. It's probably the leader's initial, but we don't exactly know."

Yaku scoffed. "I suppose that means they can be everywhere, working a normal job. So-..."

"Ohoho!! This will be interesting!" Bokuto Koutarou exclaimed, already pumped despite his status as the second-in-command. Tanaka cringed at his loudness, watching as Yaku's eyes twitched in annoyance.

"You should calm down, Bokuto-san," Tanaka reminded, while Yachi let out a tired sigh.

"Alright, I suppose we can meet up again in a week. Just gather as much information as you can. Dismissed!"

"So, you're going to do nothing?"

"Exactly." Kenma stayed frozen on his seat, looking up to face his 2nd in command, Akaashi Keiji, "I thought you have plans for tonight, Keiji?"

"Yeah, I have to meet Bokuto-san. But after knowing how he was actually ordered to capture us, I don't know how to face him."

"This is just a game, remember? Take it easy."

"... I see. Then I'll take my leave, Kenma-san. When is the next meeting?"

"I'll contact you. Now go." As Keiji left, Kenma rose from his seat, and walked put of his office, towards the living room.

Their hideout was actually a normal house, Kiyoko's residence, to be exact. She was the only female member of The Golden Cats, and with her beauty, everyone else tend to prefer staying with her. Kiyoko spared a few rooms for the other members, and also an office for the leader himself.

Kenma smiled slightly as he saw Lev laughing at Shouyou for almost knocking down the chandelier with his jump. It was what he wanted, for all the members to act like one big family. They may be called a gang, or a group of terrorists, but he treated his underlings like his best-friends.

"Yuu, your shift starts in an hour," Hajime reminded, "You shouldn't be late again."

"Ah, right! Kenma-san, I'll be going now!"

Kenma nodded, watching as the shortest member left.

"We're doing it again tonight, right? I have a good idea in mind!" Shouyou exclaimed, giving Kenma a hopeful look. The Kozume chuckled, nodding as he motioned the boy to leave.

"Just stay online. I'll give the announcement in a few hours."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Kenma-san!!"

"Lev, you don't mind gathering more supplies, right? We need about a dozen for this month, so would you mind bringing it all back here?"

"I'll do just that, Kenma-san! And what about my ride?"

"Ryuunosuke will be taking care of that, you can call him. His shift will be over in around half an hour. You can do it, right?"

"Yes, Sir!" the giant yelled with a salute, before leaving the room as well.

"So, Kenma-san, what about the White Crows?" Kiyoko started, showing her concern.

"I'll put it bluntly: we do nothing."

"You mean, we just have to ignore their existence?" Koushi asked, raising an eyebrow, "Sounds strange, but that would be fun."

"I'm itching to take a picture of them and post it on our website," Kei commented, wearing his usual evil smirk.

"This will definitely be fun. I would like to get caught and taunt them," Hajime added. Koushi laughed nervously, while their leader merely shrugged.

"I don't mind. Do whatever you want. Just make sure that you don't put the other members in danger," Kenma said, as he grabbed a red jacket from the couch, "Tonight at 11, station-A. We'll give them some clues. You don't mind preparing the place, right, Kei, Hajime?"

"Leave it to us. Anything else that you need?"

"No, just take care of the usual. I'll be there early, we'll start once everyone arrived."

"Not rushing at all this time?" Kei spoke up, crossing his arms.

"They might see us," Hajime added flatly, though his eyes showed a glint of interest.

"And then the chase began." Koushi was smiling wide, "I'll need to warm up. I want to outrun them, not just hiding like last time."

"Hey, aren't you taking this too lightly? It's dangerous, remember?" Kiyoko warned, now worried about her friends. Kenma gave her a chuckle, walking towards the front door as he tied his hair into a short ponytail.

"That's the thrill we're looking for, right?"
