Number 1333

Unknown

Found a deal, everyone heads to Building 5. They stop right in front of the Chinese reassemble wall, and stare at the huge sign "Nanba Building 5". While Jyugo, Nico and Uno are joking and admiring the building ancient beauty, Ayu already noticed something off and it seems that Hajime felt that too.

<<Oi Number 33, did you feel that right now?>> he asks to be sure he didn't imagine it.

<<Yeah, someone was watching us.>> the killer confirms the supervisor's theory, <<I can't feel any human presences in this place. It's like abandoned. I can't hear any voices or steps either... This is weird as hell, it's like someone kidnapped all the guards and inmates. Ask Hitokoe if he can at least contact someone, I don't think it would work though.>>

<<Hey Mitsuru.>> Sugoroku uses his transistor to communicate, <<Give me a status report on Building 5.>>

[Can't you sound a little more lovable when you ask that?] that comment made both, Ayu and Hajime sigh, this man never take something seriously, right? [I came all the way to Building 13 to keep an eye on it for you, y'know. You took even Ayu-chan with you, do ya know how dangerous it that?]

<<Shut up.>> assassin and officer seem pretty close today, then Hajime takes the lead, <<It doesn't seem like anyone's here. Can you contact the guards inside?>>

[Oh? You haven't heard? We did contact the guys at Building 5, but nobody has responded. But, as far as I can see in there, everything looks normal.]

<<Normal my ass.>> whispers Ayu keeping on listening, "There must be something off, this place is completely empty. There's no one."

[Except for one thing.] that's the part that calls Ayu and Hajime's attention right away, [I don't see any guards at all.]

<<What does that mean?>> asks Hajime while Ayu takes distance from him, he heard what he wanted, that's more than enough. Now he need to understand who was watching them before...

[Hey, it's your job to find that out, man! You've the most reliable and skillful sidekick of the world, ya can't fail!] after a laugh, Hitokoe recomposes himself, [Anyway, I'll be waiting to hear back from ya. Bye!]

While Number 33 was inspecting the front of the wall, the main door suddenly got open. The killer walks near his friends immediately, he doesn't like what's going on in there. Hajime scolds Jyugo accusing him to have opened the door without permission, but Number 33 explains what happened, and the officer gets serious. Walking inside, Ayu keeps studying and inspecting everything, he walks behind everyone else just for that reason, and something is hitting his instincts, a huge and empty room.... That's too fishy, come on.

"Even an imbecile can understand that this room is full of traps." as he looks forward, to see what happened, he sighs again, "Please, tell me this is a very bad joke." <<Hajime, what the hell are you doing?>>

<<That's my line! What the hell did you do, you punks?>> he shouts behind those squared bars, <<What the hell did you touch to activate this trap?>>

<<We didn't do anything...>> talks back Jyugo annoyed, this is the third time today.

<<You're stupid enough to fall into a trap without doing anything?!>> his rage falls as he sees his inmates looking at him in a strange way, there are Jyugo and Ayu that look at him as to say: "what an idiot." and then, there are Nico and Uno...

<<...You're the one who fell into the trap, aren't you?>> as soon Hajime sees better and understands what's going on, Uno bursts into a loud laugh: <<Oh my god, I can't! You're like a gorilla in a cage!>>
