Disclaimer: This is NOT canon with the main Psycho Pass series. I was originally planing to write a slight divergence for the series, but lost interest. So here's the unfinished bit that showed up in my Arisugawa's Locket series.

Also, Psycho Pass Series THREE has been announced! Yay!

Psycho Pass Interlude

Arisugawa's Locket Visit One

As they talked, three women went by them dressed in two very stylish suits and one in a slinky dress that was very nearly illegal. "I really think this is a bad idea," Akane Tsunemori noted, the brown haired young woman looking kind of cute in her suit.

"We needed someone to come along," Yayoi Kunizuka noted, the black haired woman looking faintly amused. "You know we Enforcers can't go out without a Inspector coming along."

Akane made a face at that. She strongly disagreed with the policy of the Ministry to make Enforcers stay on base unless escorted by a Inspector. However, she lacked the authority to change that, and the Chief might do something... extreme, if she found out Akane let them go out on their own.

Shion looked amused, "Besides, we get to take a cutey like you out with us. Bonus!"

Akane blushed, unsure how to take her teasing. She was reasonably sure Shion was joking, but not entirely...

Yayoi looked amused as she tried to get them back to business, "So, we think the suspect has been ducking into here to evade capture?"

"It would make sense," Akane admitted, "she just... disappears from the Psycho Pass sensors, and the bar appears to block our sensors."

The women covertly touched the Dominator pistols they carried, but the Sybil System didn't come up and the virtual targeting system didn't appear before their eyes. It was quite disquieting, for officers who were so used to having it always available.

"Uhm, excuse me?" the cowboy hat wearing staffer smiled, her name tag announcing her name as 'Amelia.' She was tall, muscular, and had a surprisingly charming smile, really.

"Ah, yes?" Akane smiled back, even though she could probably guess what she wanted.

"Sorry, but carrying weapons ain't allowed," Amelia said, "can I ask you to leave your zap guns up at the bar?"

"Zap guns?" Shion looked amused as she drawled, "Aren't you charming?"

Deciding it might be best to keep Shion from jumping the woman Akane quickly said, "Sure, we can turn them in."

"Thank you," Amelia tipped her hat.

"Come on," Yayoi had to nearly drag Shion away.

"But she's so cute and unspoiled," Shion complained as they headed to the bar.

"And you'd probably traumatize the heck out of her," Akane noted dryly.

"Oh poo," Shion pouted cutely.

"Hey, ladies," Minagi smiled, her tail swishing back and forth.

"We need to turn in our guns, I've been told," Akane said as she put her high tech Dominator pistol on the bar top, Yayoi following.

"Oooh," Mahoro cooed, the battle maid android looking at them with interest. She pouted a bit as she noted, "Personal locks?"

"They can only be used by authorized users, yes," Shion noted.

Akane took out her ipad like communicator and hit a switch, bringing up a photo of a attractive if remote looking young woman with long black hair. "Have you seen this woman?" she asked Minagi.

Minagi looked at the photo, and appeared to recognize it but answered, "Can't say that I have."

Yayoi sighed as she said, "I understand your need to protect you customers but..."

Akane stopped her by putting a hand on Yayoi's arm. "I won't ask you to break a confidence, but I would STRONGLY urge that your bar ban this woman immediately," she said instead.

Minagi frowned as she asked, "Why?"

"Because she's a serial killer," Akane said levelly.

THAT made Minagi react. Eyes widening just a bit she said, "I'll get the boss."

The tall, orange haired woman was the sort of person that could cow even the usually irrepressible Shion. She looked grim as she introduced herself, "Juri Arisugawa. What's this about a killer?"

Akane showed her the picture, "This is Rikako Oryo, though she may be using another name. She attended school at a prestigious woman's academy, and was the star of their fine arts program."

"Yes, and?" Juri asked flatly.

"And she was killing her fellow students and turning them into art," Yayoi said flatly. "We finally caught her, but she succeeded in getting off campus and disappearing into the city."

Shion continued, "Street cameras and such have tracked her passage, but she's been hiding out in areas not connected to the city network."

"And you think she's coming here?" Juri looked at the photo. She WAS familiar, but honestly they saw hundreds of girls a night.

"We traced one of her disappearances from the city net to a appearance of your bar there," Akane said seriously.

Juri scowled, but nodded slightly. "Do you have proof of what she's done?" she asked.

"What, you don't trust us?" Shion asked, smirking.

"You don't know us," Akane said, "it's certainly understandable. I can provide some visual evidence, but it's... disturbing."

Akane brought the images up, as well as the confession that the girl had been tricked into revealing. Juri looked grim as she muttered, "That is just messed up."

Yayoi was faintly impressed Juri didn't chuck. Most civilians wouldn't be able to handle this. "Is that enough?" she asked.

"I'll have her banned," Juri agreed, "and good luck catching her."

"We should probably get back," Akane sighed once the imposing bar owner left.

"No!" Shion yelped, "I wanna dance with Yayoi. And you. And maybe all three of us can rent one of the rooms upstairs."

"Shion," Yayoi sighed as Akane went pink.

To be continued...
