INFAMOUS
Revealed Already

After I left the house. Mother still stood in front of the door speechless by lowering her head. Akira who seemed to hear what I said earlier, he came down from the stairs to see the state of mother.

Mom looked back after realizing there was Akira behind her, "Oh, Akira. Are you awake?"

She approached him and held his shoulder. Akira expressed as if he had heard nothing, "yes, I just woke up. Where'd Nico go?"

Mother did not answer. Then he hugged Akira, "maybe go home. Because it's late too."

Akira was confused as to what to do after hearing my previous words to mother. He hugged mom too and wanted to forget about the incident just now.

...[.Meanwhile on the road]...

The rain has washed all my clothes. But it won't stop the music spinning in my ears, where maybe I bought a cheap headset just to see it wet and broken. I'm definitely looking for one that won't break when it's hit by water.

While enjoying the rain, I pondered and remembered a little of my past when my mother and father separated. The music in my ears made me unable to hear.

When I walk in the rain. Someone was watching me from afar like he was after something from me. Slowly from behind he followed my steps. Because I was listening to music, I didn't realize there were footsteps behind me.

"I'm not gonna let you get away with it this time, Nico!" the man pulled out a kitchen knife from his pocket.

It's getting closer. I was still unaware of the existence of someone around. I saw that the road was very quiet, because now it also shows at 6 o'clock.

Then the man tried to stab me in the back. "Death to you!"

...[.BRUGGGS]...

"Well, I don't think. It was the perpetrator."

I heard the voice of someone who if I heard like a fallen man. Then I took off my headset and looked back.

"Eh, inspector Steve and Miya?" I was surprised to see him arrest someone.

"Hello, Nico" Inspector Steve waved at me.

Miya approached me, "Huufff," she sighed, "foolish basics! didn't you realize your life was being threatened?"

"Ahh, sorry. My headset was still in my ear. What's going on?" confusedly.

"Huhhh, it's Nico." Miya pointed to someone Steve had arrested, "he almost killed you!"

After I saw the captured man it was closer. How shocked I was after seeing his face, "m . . . "

Leo from my class has been arrested by inspector Steve after conducting an attempted murder on me.

"Leo, what's wrong with you?" ask me closer.

"GET RID OF ME!" Furious Leo.

"I expected something like this would happen" Steve guessed.

I'm rattled. "You mean?"

"So this . . . ."

...[.A few days before]...

In the hospital. When inspectors Steve and Miya enter Toure's room, they evict the others as privacy with Toure's for a bit in interrogation.

"Good morning, Toure. You're my underclassman, aren't you?" Steve greets.

"That's how" Toure waved his hand.

"May I have time for a moment?"

"Of course."

Several discussions and questions have been answered in detail by Toure who remembers it aloud. Miya recorded all those conversations so felt that it was enough.

Steve read out his note paper. "So the culprit was someone with high hair, wearing a hat, and also a mask. The weapon used by the perpetrator who escaped from the scene of TKP had been found in the previous location. So now it's just a matter of guessing who you think is the one who did this."

"Of that inspector, I still have my doubts about my suspicions" Toure could not calm down.

"If you can't calm down, then maybe we'll find some people to list the suspects who stabbed you."

"Hmmh" Toure thought again.

"I think you've found the answer in the brain since. Let's just say, no one's threatening either" Steve held onto his shoulder.

"Inspector Steve . . . ." Toure glanced at Steve, "do you believe that the one who hit me with the hard object was Leo himself?"

Steve and Miya were both surprised to hear that. They both look at each other.

"Thank You Toure. Your information's a lot of use" Steve got out of his chair.

"Well, that's all?" miya asked in a whisper to Steve.

"We're done here?" Miya.

"Yes. We're going back to the temporary office to reassemble this incident."

After inspectors Steve and Miya felt it was completely finished. He told Toure to leave the room. Then they both went to the hospital parking lot to get to his car.

In the car, Steve again reads the conversation recorded by Miya earlier.

"Do you think the same way Miya?" steve said to Miya with a serious facial expression.

"It's a pity not" replied Miya, "then don't make that face and expression. Disgust it."

"Haha funny" Steve frustrated.

"Haha kidding Steve. Yes, I know what you're thinking" Miya cheered.

Steve raised his head and smiled. "Okay, he's definitely the culprit, right?"

"Most likely, yes. But we don't yet know the motive for him doing this" Miya thought.

"Rather than waiting for his motive, we better catch him right away, before anything untoward happens."

Miya. "But we have to go back to the office first to take care of this case"

"Gas!"

Steve stuck his foot into the gas car after he heated it.

...[.Next day]...

Steve and Miya are on patrol to check around this city block. They also do this because they are ordered by their superiors.

"At 7 o'clock. I want to go straight home after this" Miya said in the car.

Steve responded while driving a car. "Yes. I want to watch the Manchester United game tonight. I wish this was over."

Miya who felt like she was looking at someone who was following someone, made Miya interested in his attention. "Steve's. Did you see that guy over there?" pointing in front.

"Huh? I can't see, rainwater's wetting the car's glass." Steve saw it even closer, "oh. Yes, I saw it."

"Steve's. Get to the edge now!" Miya.

With a quick response, Steve immediately turned and sidelined his car to the sidewalk.

"Fast or slow. Prepare your weapons! he's got a knife!" Miya got out of the car and approached the man.

...[.Back to the moment]...

"Well, I didn't think it was Leo who almost stabbed you in the back, Nico" Miya told me everything.

"Leos. That's not possible, is it?" I asked with a disappointed face.

Leo remained silent as he closed his eyes.

"Why are you doing something like this?" I pulled Leo's collar.

Steve pulled me, "already. It'll be more clear at the police station."

"Quiet Nico. It's indeed this is very unexpected" Miya calmed me down.

Steve locked his hands in handcuffs. After that he was lifted and put in the car.

"LEO, WE STILL HAVE UNRESOLVED BUSINESS!!" I shouted at him at the car window.

His facial expression was very lethargic. Like lifeless. But after I said that, he looked out the window.

Miya calms. "Already Nico. We'll talk another day. How did you get here anyway?"

Because I'm so upset. I ran away from that place as hard as I could.

"NICO!" Miya called.

"Already Miya. Let's go back to base, "Steve saw Leo's face, "after that we interrogate this lunatic."

In the end Leo has been arrested after the attempted murder of me and Toure. I didn't expect it to turn out that he had been playing me with wits all along.

"Diterors? sheer nonsense!", "how did that demon get into class A and this school? weirdo!"

I can't think of anything else but him who has manipulated me indirectly.

"Look at the world! This is the beginning I will manipulate everyone I've ever met. How dare such a lowly person be able to manipulate me after I have started to leave my bored life all this time!"
