Urie POV

I told the driver to follow the black car. Prior to my devotion of following Furuta around, my investigation so far has been for naught.

For about 3 weeks now I've followed him and studied him. There's nothing unusual about what he does, only that he himself is a suspicious figure. His smile is fake, his laugh and way of speech is creepy, his whole character just yells joker.

"Recording number 10. Today is the same also, at the moment he's regularly getting coffee at the same cafe in the second ward." I said into the recorder in my hand.

I had been recording my findings in tapes, that I could use for evidence when I did finally find something. But even someone after three weeks would start to question if they were just paranoid.

No, I have to keep searching, it couldn't have been a misprint, but a mistake. People that work in the printing press are trained very well, they never make mistakes. The person that printed off Kurona Yasuhisa's file was different.

I watch as the black car I was following suddenly stops and Furuta gets out, the taxi driver glances back at me as if to ask, what now?

"Let me out." I said, throwing the money up front as I got out. The taxi drove off and I stared up at the large sky scraper he went into.
I try to follow, but I'm immediately intercepted by two guards. "Sorry sir, we can't let you through without ID." One said.

Showing my investigator badge would do little, it would just bring up more questions. I'll have to pull out for today. But this is different, I need to be on the lookout for when he does this again.

I get the guards off of me and begin walking home. On the way I record my findings. Tomorrow I'll investigate this building more.

Or...

Furuta isn't at CCG at the moment meaning. His office should be empty of people. This is the only chance I'm getting, I'm gonna get into his office and see if I can find anything!

Levin POV

After my shift, I was pretty bored, as one would imagine. Surprisingly, things had calmed down for a long time now. A couple of weeks of just work would make anyone bored over time.

I stretch and let out a yawn, heading upstairs. Maybe Kaneki will give me some lessons again. I knock on his door, but get no reply. I stare at the door for a certain amount of time before Nishiki comes up to me.

"Looking for Kaneki? He's up on the roof." He said, pointing his thumb upwards. I raise an eyebrow as to wonder why, but Nishiki had no idea and walked downstairs to start his shift.

I climb to the roof, and when I get up there, I trip over glass bottle. I stop in my tracks as I see two empty bottles, just laying on the concrete of the roof.

I kneel down and grab a bottle, only to see it's alcohol.

"What's up?" I hear from my side. Beside the door is Kaneki, leaning on the wall, in his hand is another bottle.

"Isn't that disgusting to you?" I asked, pointing at the bottle.

Kaneki shrugged. "The chemicals still effect me, but yeah, it tastes like shit." He laughed.

I sit down next to him and sigh. "Why you up here?"

Kaneki stared up at the sunset, then glanced over at me. "You were once in love right? With Kuro?" He asked.
