The Artists game

Chapter 9 Meetings

After some time of driving The Anime Artists arrived at the police station and were led inside by some officers. When they got to the meeting room they had their phones taken away, as a safety precaution to keep any info from the meeting being leaked. The four then looked around for Sakura's and Botans father.

"Hey Kids over here!" they heard someone call out. They looked over and saw Sakura's and Botans father sitting at a stand offering the four of them seats. So they walked up to him and they sat down next to him, once they were seated Sakura hugged her father and he hugged her back.

"Hey how are you doing Mr. Benjior?" Aika asked.

"I've been good, by the way Aika your mother called me earlier asking if I could come over to your place to have a talk with some people she's having over there. She also told me that she'd like it if you would spend the night at a friend's place as she'll have people she doesn't want you to see again at your house. She also said she's going out on a date tonight so she'd thought you could have your first sleepover at a friend's place." Benjiro explained.

"EEHH! OMG Aika you can sleep over at my house!" Sakura exclaimed excitedly.

"R-Really? But I don't know what to do at a sleepover." Aika explained.

"Oh don't worry I've got a list of fun activities we can do at my place!" Sakura exclaimed.

"Shh Sis, look M's on screen!" Botan whispered to Sakura.

She then stopped talking and watched the screen as the letter M came on screen (btw it M is written in Japanese).

"Hello I'm M and I am here to help with the case of the strange events going around Tokyo City in the past few months." M explained.

'Hmm Okay I wonder what this guy has in store for us?' Aika thought to herself.

"As you all know I have managed to solve a variety of cases that the FBI have not solved in years. And I believe that I have been able to come up with a theory of what is going on, and I would like to make a public announcement to all of Japan to let them know about my theory." M explained.

"As you wish M we'll have this feedback go live." The commander said.

"Thank you also I wish to let everyone know who I am, by showing my face." M said.

"Um, wait what?! Botan what's going on here?!" Haru asked, surprised.

"I don't know but let's trust what he says, after all M's the best of the best kinds of detectives out there so let's trust what he says." Botan explained.

"Okay if you say so man." Haru said.

After a while a man came on screen and everyone assumed that the man was M. So they all sat back and waited to see what would happen next.

"Hello I am M and I'm here to announce this to all of Japan. As you all know a series of strange events have been happening lately. And recently a very famous Manga Artist known as Fumihito has gone missing. I want to say to the person responsible for his disappearance that what you did was evil. And that if Fumihito is found dead you will face horrific repercussions for your actions from his family. I'm sure that they would love to see him again and he would love to be reunited with them once he is found. So be prepared to face justice once you're found and arrested." The Man explained.

'Hmm okay, but what's the motivation here?' Aika asked herself.

After a few more seconds a creature that looked like a rose bush appeared right behind the man and quickly wrapped its vines around him. The man screamed in agony as he was choked by the vines and as the thorns pierced into his flesh. Everyone who was watchin screamed in horror at the scene and Benjiro covered the kids eye's not wanting them to see this.
