Urie POV

Every time the door of the cafe opened, sounding the bell, I jumped to look who was coming through the door. I was on my toes here, out in the open.

This girl was taking much longer than I remember her taking last time. I had contacted her, Chie Hori. She had contacted us when we were investigating Torso a long time ago last year some time.

All I know is that she has some sort of connection with Sasaki, and probably Tsukiyama. When I last saw her and asked about what she though of their family, she simply answered, "I wonder how they're doing?"

She was very blunt with her words, but she's the only chance I got. I can give this directly to them, I'll be followed and they'll find out where Sasaki and his friends are hiding.

Though the last time I saw him wasn't the best, I had fought him in the Tsukiyama Raid. We all did. And our trump to make him go nuts didn't work, but only made him want to leave.

I wonder through my thoughts as a light sound emits from across of me. To my surprise, Chie sat there suddenly, setting her camera on the table and giving me a blank look.

"So, what did you need, mole?" She asked.

"M-Mole?" I wondered out loud.

She pointed at my face. "You have a mole under your left eye, so your nickname is mole." She said bluntly.

Can you be anymore rude? I hold in my lecture on common sense not to make fun of appearance, but I wanted to get to the point. But Chie hadn't changed one bit.

She was supposedly 25 years old, short dark hair and light brown eyes. She looked almost in her teens for Christ sake. But she had shown me her ID before, and it's for real.

"I need to talk about getting something to Sasaki." I said, leaning a bit closer, and covering my mouth from where the door was. No one was in here except the people working and us two, I chose this time and this place because there would be little to no people.

If no one saw this deal go down it would be better, the organization I'm dealing with has dealings far and wide. If I'm not careful Chie could be hauled into it also. And I need her.

Chie sit kept a blank face. "Gonna cost you. How much is this thing I'm giving to him?" She asked.

"Listen runt, just get this to Sasaki somehow, and I'll pull a couple of favors." I offered.

She shook her head. "I don't work like that." She said shortly.

I grit my teeth under my lips, trying not to get too angry with her. I never did like her barter methods. And sometimes she asks for the weirdest of things.

"Then what do you want? The package is barely that heavy, not even a pound." I said, pulling out the zip lock bag with the USB that I had downloaded everything on Yasuhisa on. I had copied the data on another USB, but it was in my pocket, always.

Chie grabbed the bag and opened it, looking at the USB. "What's on it?" She asked.

"Something that'd get me killed if the people that didn't want word of their misgivings out." I exclaimed, giving her a serious and straight face.

This seemed to pique her interest. "Dangerous? Something from CCG?" She asked.

"From what I know, that's the closest thing to what I'm thinking. But it's not the files of CCG itself, but of something deeper... I can't go into detail, but if you can just get it to Sasaki, then I'd appreciate it." I said, bowing my head a bit.
