"So-"
Suddenly, a phone rang out, cutting off the person's words. From the tune, Misaki could tell it was her that was receiving the call. "Excuse me," she said as she exited the room and answered. "Hello?" she said, switching to english after noticing it was Azura who was calling.
"Misaki-san," Azura said, her voice wavering. "Sorry to interrupt, but something's happened. I'm heading to the police station now."
"You are? Well, I will ask for a police officer to bring you to us since the rest of us are going to be interviewed soon."
"Okay. Thanks."
After a quick good bye, she hung up and reentered the darkened room. "One of our group members is coming to join us; The girl overslept and just got up," Misaki said to the detectives. "Could you send a police officer to wait for her and bring her to us?" "That shouldn't be a problem. I'll go find someone and meet up later. I need some coffee anyway before I interview you guys," Detective Yamashita replied. "Meet you there Endo-kun?"
"Yeah, sure," he said. "Come on everyone, let's go. We do need to interview you."
They left the room, with Detective Yamashita taking a left as the rest took a right. The singer noticed a bathroom as they walked towards the more comfortable rooms for interviewing witnesses. "Excuse me," she said to the male detective quietly, "may I go to the bathroom before we start? I'm going to be interviewing with Detective Yamashita anyway so it shouldn't keep you from interviewing one of the others."
"Sure, do you know where it is?" he replied.
"I saw it as we passed by it. I'll try not to be too long."
"You do that. And here," he said, tearing out a piece of paper from his notebook after scribbling something on it. "The room number we'll be in. If you get lost, you can ask one of the officers here to show you where it is."
"Thank you! I will be back soon," she smiled before taking off.
She walked past the bathrooms and headed back to the interrogation room. While the reckless behavior was out of character for her, there was a part of her that just wanted to know why and knew the only way to get a real answer was through asking the man himself. There's also that lingering darkness I keep feeling... It doesn't seem like this ordeal is quite over yet...
As she stopped in front of the room, she then remembered that there was a bit of a problem. She had no way to get into the room without a key. Ah, what am I going to do...? Without a key, I can't get in... "Need a little help?" Misaki turned at the sound of a familiar voice and stared as she said, "What are you doing here?"
(yay for NPC help~)
