This chapter was difficult to write. I could not for the life of me find the right flow to the story. In fact I'm just free writing as of now. Anyways I'll rant more at the bottom. Laters!

Oh and I'm looking for a Beta Reader. I can edit okay, but I still have errors. Like in this one, I have edited this twice, or maybe it was three times…. I forgot, but I'm sure there are still a lot of errors.

Thank you!

"You're late Kagami-kun."

The man scratched the back of his head and looked over toward the wall suddenly finding it the most interesting thing in the world. It was a distraction of course, a diversion to not face the man – rather woman - before him.

Kuroko didn't say anything else, but Kagami knew better than to be fooled by his indifferent mask. His face was stoic as ever, but if one looked very closely underneath they could see hidden anger just waiting to be released.

After what seemed to be forever they had finally arrived at destination number one for Kuroko, "Remember the plan," he said as if Kagami were gaumless enough to forget.

Kagami rolled his eyes and faked imitated Kuroko words via speaking with his hand, "Sure thing."

-.-.-.-.-

Midorima was sure to get hypothermia despite not being in water.

Being locked inside the freezer for a while will do that to a person, it was common sense really. Although, it took a doctor to know how to survive such cold temperature, good thing he studied in such a profession.

Alone and cold with no means of escape (without seeming abnormal) he had time to think of the chain of events that led up to the big finale.

The first thing that went wrong: Takao was a horrible employer. Beside for the wise decision of hiring Midorima as manager, everything else he had done was complete and utter nonsense. Second: now this was a fault on his behalf, but it really couldn't have been avoided.

One of the workers was stealing money from the cash register; Midorima knew this of course but didn't know how to explain it to Takao without seeming insane or part of the plan. So, without even thinking about it he decided it was none of his business.

And the third and final thing was simple; he forgot to buy his lucky item.

So, let's put it all together and see what we get.

That morning Midorima had been in a rush to get to work on time for he had overslept by ten minutes due to yesterday's work schedule; his other work schedule. And in doing so he passed the store where they sold lucky items of the day and week. Bad mistake.

So when he had gotten to the sub shop (Akashi wanted them to have normal day time jobs) things had turned for the worse. Takao needed help carrying food supplies into the freezer because two of the workers decided to call in sick. Now here's where everything turned for the worse.

One of the other workers saw the cashier steal money and told Takao soon after, so in a fit of anger Midorima's boss left him inside the freezer and shut the door close sealing him in for God knows how long.

BUZZ BUZZ

Midorima took the phone out of his pocket which he, with much appreciation, had kept with him at all times. The phone was a life line, but rather than saving him it did quite the opposite.

"Hello, Akashi-san?" His voice sounded steady and firm as if he weren't really scared in the inside. Although, knowing his leader it was painfully obvious to him that he was lying.

"Shintaro, I need you to come here right now," he spoke with authority that suggested no arguments be made. "Be here in twenty minutes sharp."

With that Akashi ended the call leaving Midorima to his own thoughts. 'How should I get out of here?' Unrushed he surveyed the room knowing he only had but one option left.

He pulled out a small device from underneath his now dirty apron, and placed it by the door before retreating toward the back of the room. A few seconds later a loud boom resonated throughout the whole shop. Visible, a hole could be seen in the lower right region of the door.

Although happy at his small feat he knew that a certain redhead would have it out for him. Midorima was supposed to be poor, and this sandwich shop was his only source of income. Even though he could easily pay for the broken door, more approximating the whole shop, he discerned that Akashi would be displeased at having a seemingly deprived person pay upfront for the damage inflicted.

The green haired man then started to sprint off towards the location of their HQ, not bothering to say sorry to those whom he had pushed aside for his own convenience. What he did not see though was the calculating stare of a blue haired female trying to decipher him.

"Is that Rojikku Shisoka?"(1)

She watched as the presumed man ran through the cowed in a hurried manner before jogging after him. It was quite easy to slip through a crowd of pedestrians when you're nothing but a shadow.

-.-.-.-.-

Kagami had a hard time searching for someone whom he did not even know the appearance of. It was like a puzzle without the pretty finished picture on the front. He had the pieces, but didn't know what it would look like in the end. Actually a puzzle was quite easy to solve, but for the hotheaded man it was nothing short of torture.

Sure he could do it if he really tired, but the thing was he didn't want to try. All criminals were the same and sooner or later they would make a fatal error. (2) Genius needs an audience.

Sitting down at the bar he ordered their lightest alcohol induced drink there was, and started to inspect the night club despite it being day.

"Here ya go," a tanned bartender than passed him his drink. Kagami gave him the money and went back into deductive reasoning mode, and started to search for someone he did not even know the appearance of.

"You looking for someone?" The bartender asked while starting to clean the dirty glass cups around him.

The redhead looked back at him surprised, usually people were too intimidated by his rather unique appearance, "Are you talking to me?"

Tan Man snickered, "Who else would I be talking to?" Kagami grumbled in annoyance and turned around to face him properly.

"Ya, a guy named Tusyo I heard he worked here." (3)

The bartender fell silent for a second before finally replying, "That's me, what do you want?" Kagami gawked at him in shock. This was way easier than he had initially thought.

"I, uh, heard you made the best bloody Black Velvet," (4) Tusyo (Aomine) looked at him with a more serious expression than before, but it soon relaxed into a more nautral looking expression. He bought the lie.

Kagami relaxed his shoulders that even he didn't know were tense and mentally thanked God for creating dense people.

While the redhead was silently praying Aomine had received a call on one of his two phones with the same message Midorima had gotten a few seconds earlier.

Without saying anything Tan Man dashed out the door and into the nearest ally. Only when Kagami stopped praying did he realize Tusyo was gone from sight.

"Damn! Where did he go?" With that he looked around the club aimlessly before finally giving up, and opted to drive toward Serin Station; Japan's number one underground police force.

[Line Break]

It was now two-fifty AM.

"Akashichii, why did you call us here? I was a bit bus-" Kise, the blonde haired idiot, whined with an obnoxious falsetto tone. Apparently the leader of the group agreed and decided to shut him up by sticking a cloth inside his mouth.

Everyone was silent expect for the occasional snorts of certain members. Akashi sat down at the head of the table while folding his hands in front of him.

"Ryouta, I would advise you not to speak out of turn," it was not advice, but rather a mandate, "And to answer your question I have a very minor problem. Someone is tracking us, and knows one of our aliases."

A few fake gasps were allowed as Akashi let the suspense grow more intense, "It's the Kikuchi Cooperation, and apparently the CEO's wife heard of our negotiation and tracked us down via our tailor. She's smarter than she looks, but not smart enough to fool us. You know what has to happen right?" They nodded in response to which the leader smiled a wicked smile.

"Aka-chin, this isn't important enough to gather us all here." Murasakibara said while chewing on a raspberry flavored gummy bear.

Midorima was next to voice his opinion, "There is something you are not telling us, correct?"

"That is true. The real reason why I have you all here is because we have a much larger opponent to face, and it's someone whom we all most likely know." He chose not to voice out his reasoning which made everyone wonder, but one dared question him. After all, Akashi was always right.

Kise, finally regaining his composure back, asked, "How is this any more dangerous than our other missions?"

"The target, even I do not know who he or she is."

A few days passed and already there was news about an explosion inside a major Technology Company's building. It did not come as a shock to Kuroko for he knew a company would fall that week. It was the killer's pattern after all.

"Hello and welcome to Tokyo Channel 3 news, and today we are going to be talking about the recent attack on the Kikuchi Cooperation. The police have just come to the conclusion that many murders occurred before the actual bombing of the building. One of the many men whom had died was Takashi Ukimoto, current CEO of the company. He was found barley alive when the paramedics came rushing in. His last words were as quoted:

'I ate ham for breakfast, a pig just like my wife."

People are baffled at the man's last words, but some speculate he was forced to say it.

Detectives are still trying to figure out who had caused all this. According to the head chief of the police it seemed to have been the doing of the infamous GoM. Nothing else has been reported, but we will make sure you, the audience, will be informed every step of the way.

Thank you and have a good morning."

Kuroko turned off the TV, and drank a sip of his vanilla milkshake before standing up and putting his coat on. The dress he wore fluttered with every step he took, and his long blue hair swished to his movements. It disgusted him that he looked good as a woman.

He closed the door to his fancy apartment and walked out of the building without being seen. A skill he used when he did not want to be noticed called 'Misdirection.'

Opening up his phone he checked the time and internally nodded to himself. He was only fifteen minutes away to his destination with another fifteen to spare. The person he was to meet up with did not tolerate tardiness.

And so with a bit of extra time he stopped and smelled the roses.

Before he knew it his feet had carried him to his next objectives workplace. A small store that sold what seemed to be skateboarding gear along with other various sport items.

"Hello~ welcome to Andy's Skateboard and recreational shop!" Kuroko turned to see who had spotted him even when he was trying to be invisible, and what he saw next surprised him. He had been looking for someone from the GoM, but he did not know it would be this plainly obvious.

This was definitely him.
