"Hey there! You've reached Tohru Adachi of the Inaba Pol - ahaha, sorry. Old habit. I'm unfortunately unavailable to take your call right now, but if you leave a message, I'll get back to you as soon as possible. If it's an emergency, well... hopefully it's nothing too major. Thanks! Seeya."

[...

She has a lot of questions, but first thing's first.]

That so. Figured you'd be having a blast with this one.

There some other police officer that I can ask about the bodies that got left hanging around?

TEXT

[pitythefool]

Not at this department. Just me. So sorry but I might not be able to help you out with this one.

I'm a little busy at the moment.

TEXT

[prayed]

Not even if I make it worth your while?

What a shame. Well, I guess something like this would keep a guy busy.

TEXT

[pitythefool]

All right. Supposing I bite.

How exactly do you plan on keeping my attention?

TEXT

[prayed]

Shouldn't that be my question? It'd be unfair if I just tried to trade info, 'cause the only secrets I can hand out are my own. It's just annoying if somebody limits your options like that, y'know.

So, what's it take to win a guy like you over? There's gotta be something that'd be too much of a pain for a guy like you to get or do themselves.

[This isn't the kind of thing that she likes to get herself into. She's not sure that she has anything worth taking. Even if she does get anything out of him, it might leave her exactly where she started anyway.

Still, she has no one else to ask, and it's far better than sitting about idly out of fear of failure.]

[pitythefool]

Well, you'd be right about that. There's always something, isn't there? But then I guess that all depends on what you might be willing to offer.

[In spite of Adachi's vague wording, it shouldn't take much for a girl like Kyoko to read between the lines. God, what a scumbag.]

TEXT

[prayed]

[It doesn't. Kyoko isn't sure whether or not she should be glad for it being over the phone. There wouldn't be much left of him otherwise. She's been away from the snide questions and remarks for long enough to realize just how little she missed them.

As it is, she can take enough time to grit her teeth and remind herself that he still might be more useful to her alive than dead. At the very least, more than anyone else.]

Quit messing around.

TEXT

[pitythefool]

Fine, fine. No more jokes.

[He hadn't expected much of a response to that to begin with.]

You really wanna win me over? Then survive. Survive all this and prove to me you're worth the time of day.

Think you can do that?

TEXT

[prayed]

Fine. When I do, I'm getting answers out of you one way or another.

You'd better hope they're the right ones.
