Izuku's POV

I stared at my phone screen. There plain as day were Eri and Mahoro being held by Katsuki Bakugo along with Ochako and Katsuma. I read comment after comment on the speculation before I posted a comment of my own. Everything made sense now. First, why Ochako couldn't tell me who adopted them, then Momo taking about parties being thrown so close together and finally seeing that blurry video. I had to find this man and demand answers! My Eri is gone because he wanted to adopt a child before finding a lover... unless Ochako was his lover... the theories keep coming. I had to call someone

???: Hello?

Izuku: Hey *****, it's me

???: Let me guess... you need information on Katsuki Bakugo, correct?

Izuku: I- how did you know?

???: I know everything, and I also saw the news and picture of Eri

Izuku: So you know exactly what information I want, right?

???: You know I can't give you that information without receiving a hefty payment. He's a very closed off character, and any important information is locked up tight.

Izuku: How much are we talking?

???: I'll need fourteen million yen and some interest if you want this done faster

Izuku: How fast can you have it done? And how much interest?

???: I can have it done within the month, but I'll have to add on an extra million if you want it faster

Izuku: I don't have that kind of cash in me right now. Can you give me a friends and family discount?

???: Sorry, kid, but I have to make money here cause this shit is dangerous. If you want to spend less money but add time, just talk to Momo until she cracks

Izuku: She's a tough nut to crack, so it would take a long time, and I need all of this shit before his party next weekend

???: Izuku I wouldn't be able to get your information by then. What are you even planning to do?

Izuku: I'm not gonna trouble you with it, see ya

???: Izuku wai-

I ended the call and threw my phone on my bed. I groaned and paced my room, trying to find any solution to my problem. I guess he did have a good plan to make Momo crack under pressure. The only problem I have is that she is great under pressure and is very tight-lipped, especially when it comes down to her job and her business. I rubbed my face and fell on my bed. "This is going to be a lot harder than I thought".
