Chapter 24: Monetary Status Change
"How did it go, Inspector Cole?"
[Better than expected. Actually, we'd been trailing those guys for a while but didn't have anything solid until you came into the picture.]
"Huh? Is that so? I didn't think that woman would be that crafty."
[Didn't I tell you not to underestimate people? Reika Fujita may be a low-level fixer, but she's still a fixer. She had connections and was even slowly working her way up to becoming a mid-level dealer. I don't know how, but she was making progress. Not that it matters now. With the overwhelming evidence against her, even her backers have cut ties. She's completely on her own.]
Are you sure you should be telling me all this? Wouldn't this be classified information? Klaus thought as he listened to Inspector Cole's words on the other end of the line. Of course, he didn't voice his thoughts.
After all, he wasn't about to complain. His senior was handing him sweet, juicy information for free. It would be rude to point it out. Besides, he loved the fact that bitch had finally been arrested. His only regret was not being there to see it happen.
Knowing her awful personality, she probably threw a massive tantrum. The thought alone made him smile.
[Hm. Hm. Hm. Alright, that settles it. Everything's wrapped up. You did good, kid. We couldn't have busted her without your help.]
"I'm glad I could help, but... this won't come back to bite me, right?"
[No worries. Your name won't appear anywhere in the official reports. As far as the records go, this was a standard investigation that we cracked on our own.]
Inspector Cole's voice was calm, but Klaus wasn't entirely convinced. The thought of getting tangled up in this mess, considering he worked for the Fujita gang for years, made him uneasy.
