She grit her teeth tight as she kept trying to scramble through the files to find the documents, just moments away before figuring it out.

Goddamnit, where is it?!

...

Shiraishi An was the most trusted member of the Police Force. She was known for being the head detective, the one who always could handle complex investigations and twisted cases.

But this case was.. strange. In a way. As if it was speaking to her.

The case of Shinonome Akito, a prestigious assasin who could always get to his target no matter what. But this one..

He'd gotten hired by a sworn enemy of the Police Force to assasinate Shiraishi An. It wasn't an easy task, but.. he was hesitating.

And that was why An was finding fluctuations in his striking rate. This was so frusturating.. she couldn't put the pieces together like she had done for every other outlaw she had to investigate and track down.

This one was different. It was like.. he had something the others didn't.

But what?

...

An paced around, trying to figure that out. Her thoughts were swirling in her head; “What could this mean?” “He has something to him..” “He's so hard to track..”

Until she heard a knock at her door.

Note, nobody knew how Akito looked like. And so she didn't have a solid face to look for and label as “Shinonome Akito”.

Her eyes narrowed suspiciously. Didn't they see the “Do Not Disturb” sign up on her office's door?

She sighed exasperatedly. She was tired, she wanted to get the interaction over with.

The girl would have never even expected to be chatting with THE Shinonome Akito, and without her even knowing herself.

“Yes?” She called out to the person who had knocked on the other side of the door, “Who is it?”
