“It’s dangerous for you to walk alone at night, I’ll walk you home.”

Okazaki offered with a smile, appearing at your side as you came out of the police station. He seemed easy going and a bit of a space head but there were times you thought you saw a shadow haunting his eyes. It would always disappear before you could analyze it. Leaving you feeling unsure if you had seen it or not.

You had met Okazaki after being assigned to work the X-day cases as a liaison between the station and Yanagi’s group. He was hanging outside Yanagi’s office, guarding them, according to Okazaki. Though later Yanagi had told you the guarding was just a cover that Okazaki used since he was actually reporting their movements to his higher ups. Yanagi hadn’t seemed bothered by this though, going so far as to say it was expected.

Since that run in, you’d find Okazaki popping out at times like these. Offering to escort you home or to Yanagi’s office. He was a SP officer, you knew from his badge, so it didn’t make sense for him to be sticking to you like this. He was supposed to be guarding VIPs. Well, usually anyways, currently his mission was to apparently spy on Yanagi’s team. So why was he tailing you?
