KATO WALKS IN THE ROOM, PLACING THICK BOOKS ON THE GROUND NEAR HIS DESK. He groans as he finally took time to lean back on his chair then he suddenly sees you done finishing a small crispy biscuit.

"Have you heard anything about the First Investigation Division?" he questions, sounding like his still exhausted. You glance at the books he just dropped under his desk, you saw 'UNSOLVED CASES' scribbled on the front of the books.

After sipping on your favorite-flavored coffee, you raised a brow at him. "Why do you ask?"

"When I was walking on the halls bringing this books here, I saw them looking like they have an important mission to accomplish."

You paused for a second to give yourself time to think. You inhaled your nostrils, about to say something to satisfy your brother's question but unfortunately, that's not the case

"Nope, haven't heard about them at all since mother gave birth to me." you ripped open another biscuit in your mouth.

He dramatically sighs- maybe thinking that his younger sister is weird again. Until the main telephone in the room rang that spread an attention to everyone in the room but their eyes was still put on to what they we're doing.

Kato grabs the telephone and places on side of it near his ear. "Hello? This is the Modern Crime Prevention Task Force, the MCPTF."

After a few silent seconds, he quickly nods at the telephone and dropped it back to its place after saying, "Yes, I got it."

You were about to ask him what the telephone-call was about, but he turns his moving chair around to face Kiyomizu. "Chief, the Security Department is shorthanded. They asked for two to three officers to help out at the Ginza car expo."

You felt the tip of your ears tingle along with your eyes brightening up a bit as you heard what Kato just said.

"Sure, do as you fit." Kiyomizu simply replies at the important request.

Kato nods in confirmation and stood up from his chair, placing his hands tugged in the pockets of his brown jacket that has been with him for already five to six years. "I'll go then, but we still need one more officer to come."

He glances at everyone in the room, pink-haired girl and aged-man won't do the trick but his eyes lands on Yumuto who was still scribbling nonstop on another page in his notebook.

Yumuto knew what Kato was thinking when he was looking at him. He slams his palm on his desk and yelled at him, "You can't just ask me for that! I'm busy too!"

You mentally kicked yourself. "Kato didn't even ask anything yet, and busy with what now? Busy writing about your favorite show of Horseracing NINE, JCC? Idiot, idiot."

Kato shifts his orbs to Kamei, who was fiddling with some inappropriate website. "Kamei." he calls.

"Ya, leave me out of it. I have to check this website--"

"Miss Motoyama of the Security Department might go." with Kato's reply, Kamei paused and gasped at him, "Saachan?!" he stands up from his chair and rans out of the room. "Let's go, Kato-san!"

You pouted miserably, you thought that Kamei woudn't also agree to go but there he is, already outside of the building. Pouting cause' you thought you would go and join Kato.

Kato mumbled a sigh before walking out. When he almost passed you, you eventually grabbed his cloth with your head tilted.

"Hm? What is it now, blockhead? I have to go--"

"Please let me join you guys!" you started while trying your best to give him your best innocent-puppy eyes test as your fingers held his cloth more.

He sighed and shooked his at you. "No can do, you might get hurt."

You pouted more at him, seeming like your lips was about to fade on your face due to tightening your miserable pout harder. "Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please!!--"

"Let her join you Kato, she might be a good help and besides, the reason why she is here is because she wants to show everyone what a good detective she is. Actions speaks louder than words anyway." Kiyomizu-san says while sipping at his drink.

Since it was said by the head of the department, Kato obviously cannot force to disagree. That'll only result to an unpolite impression to an elderly.

He clenched his jaw and inhaled, "Fine." he breathed.

Your face brightens, almost like the sun at what you just heard. "R-Really?!" you raised your arms up high like some kids finally getting his desired toy.

"Yes, so come on now before anything wrong happens!" he grunts, infruriated about you coming with them. As he pulls your arm, you both swiftly ran out of the room, out of the building's premises.

"What took you so long?!--" Kamei notices you causing his eyebrows to rose. "Wait, (Y/n)-san is coming too?"

You sat at the back of the white, newly-cleaned car filled with the smell of fuel and gas, buckled up on your seat. While Kamei and Kato was at the front, the difference is- Kato was going to drive.

Kato pulls out his car keys and starts the car in ignition as he plugged in the keys to the right. "As much as I hate to admit it, yes she is coming with us, and Kamei, you got to promise me that nothing bad will happen to her, alright? Or else I'll pull your throat out."

Kamei shocked at his words, he raised his free hands up and slowly nods. "Yes ma'am-- I mean, err.. sir."

You rolled your eyes at what you heard. You we're about to say something but you remembered what Kiyomizu-san said earlier when he helped you out to join these two.

"Actions speaks louder than words." that phrase repeated on loop in your mind endlessly. You pulled up your fists together and started chattering your teeth with your eyebrows arched down.

"I have to show this bastard that I am worthy to join tasks like this!"
