The Professor And The Culprit
TRAPPED
Morning came. It was about 5:55 am. Oscar was in his position in the mansion 1260, the house in front of mansion 1241.He was settled in the window from where he could easily and vividly target anyone in the other mansion. Edgar was in the taxi as planned keeping a quick and sharp eye at the surroundings. While Denki and Reynal were hiding behind the walls or trees of the nearby mansions perfect enough not to be seen and clear enough for them to see through the place. Maxence as accustomed was sitting in his work place, connecting every one through the {device}.
Denki,Lisa,Edgar,Reynal,Oscar,Maxence and Aldrich all were on catch with each other
,"Aetos is going into the mansion." said Lisa.
,"Vasilias allows the operation to start.Stay prepared.Three...two...one...go!" said Aldrich.
,"Ready! "All the remaining except Aldrich spoke.
Lisa climbed onto the wall and descended into the garden of the villa. With her gun in her hand, she slowly walked inside the house. She opened the door which led into the place and entered the corridor. Gradually she began to move and kept on walking alertly.
Her hopes were high for achieving the goal not only hers but every ones. She opened two to three bedrooms but he wasn't inside .Then she began to move towards the last one which was on the ground floor.
,"What's the situation Aetos?" asked Jason.
,"I've searched three bedrooms but there is no one present in there." Replied Lisa." Now I'm heading towards the one on the down floor."
,"Carry on."
Lisa put her hand on the door knob and opened it. She went inside and she acknowledged a terrible site! The professor was already murdered. He was lying on the ground with blood dripping from his head.
,"Shit!" exclaimed Lisa in a cursing manner.
,"What happened?" queried Aldrich.
,"The professor has already been killed."
Aldrich gave an extremely abhorrent sigh saying, "Curse them! Curse them! Aetos examine his body, the room, find a clue to something."
,"Understood Sir." Replied Aetos.
Lisa decided to stay in the room and began to examine his body to find any clues.Just then Edgar said
,"Tycheros reporting, I can see military cabs and cars approaching the street."
,"Military?" thought Aldrich.
,"...Sir they have surrounded the mansion 1241.I think they would enter the place."reported Edgar.
Jason's expressions suddenly went tensed and he said, "Aetos! Get out of the place immediately! Get out of the place without being seen!"
,"Roger!" replied Lisa.
And she began to move out of the room.
,"Tycheros, Theo Dory , Voreios , Gennaios and Astrapi get out of the place too without being noticed." Ordered the Lt. General ,"Wait Theo Dory ! Stay there and observe the situation."
So Oscar replied, "As you command."
Lisa went down and opened the door but as she opened it she saw that the military's soldiers were standing in front of her.
She went blank for a moment and then catching her breath she whispered under her breath, "Sir...I'm caught..."
,"Shit! ", said Aldrich under his breath.
,"What should I do further?"
,"Surrender.Cause If you tried to escape your guilt will be confirmed for sure...And don't worry I'll get you out of their hands no matter what. Just be patient.I will not leave you under their mercy." He said in a low voice
,"Okay Sir...I'll be waiting." She said in a soft voice. ,"Line 3 Aetos over and out."
And Maxence broke her connection.The guards told her to surrender and without resistance Lisa dropped her gun and surrendered because all her tenses and anxieties had abolished due to Aldrich's words, knowing that he will always stay abreast her.Suddenly the Major General came in and told her to take her mask off.And when Lisa did so his senses went out and he wasn't able to believe his eyes.
,"Colonel Lisa! You...You are a traitor! You betrayed the military. You are a criminal", said Valarico.And then he ordered the soldiers to put the hand cuffs around her hand and curtailing the speech she stated, "I'm not a traitor.I came here to save him not to take his life."
."Save him? You murderous Liar, and did you saved him?
,"He was already dead when I reached there."
,"How cleanly you say all these lies.Now you will dwell behind the railings and then in hell!"
Just then a soldier hit her back with the back of his gun and afterwards she lost her consciousness.
--------------------------------------------------
GOT THEM
Azusa, Kosuke, And So-hee returned to their place as well as Kazuya and Kai had retuned as well.The boss was on call on the phone.
,"So! My gangsters. What happened there?" the boss asked.
,"Mission has been accomplished and you will be extremely shocked to hear who got into the hands of the military." said Azusa.
,"Who?"
,"Lisa Bernstein,The Colonel."
,"Although the people there could not see their boss but they could probably feel that a wide and evil grin had appeared on his face after hearing the name.
,"Excellent! Excellent Aldrich! Excellent! The worthiest person.I admire your actions Jason Aldrich.You sent the pawn in the preditor's hands."And then he began to laugh.
So what's going to be your next step.You're not going to leave such worthy in the hands of the military.Are you?" asked Jae-ha.
,"Of course not Jae-ha." The boss responded with an evil laugh and then continued, "I would never permit the military to keep someone such valuable as her."
Everyone there could consider what could be Rang-ha's, their boss' next move.
-----------------------------------------------------------
SUSPICIONS
Aldrich had called the Major General in his office. He knocked on the door and with the Lt. General's allowance he came in. Saluting him he said, "Lt. General!!"
,"Major General Valarico. I have heard some rumors that Professor Tobias Tilman has been murdered and the culprit is our Colonel Lisa Bernstein. Is that true?" Aldrich pretended adroitly as if that he was unaware of the certain happenings or matters.
,"When I and the military soldiers entered the Professor's mansion.He was found murdered and we also found there the Colonel which clearly reveals that she was the culprit."
,"But how did you knew that the Professor would be murdered today?"asked Aldrich
,"Tomorrow at night A person came to me.He told me that the chief of Gestapo had sent him here to inform me that the Professor would be murdered today.He told me that the Chief wanted me to save him and find the murderer too."
On hearing this Aldrich became suspicious.His doubts were telling him that the person could be one of the Mist Mafia's member who laid this trap to trap the White Fangs.He queried futher more
,"Can you describe the person's appearance."
,"his eyes, face and clothes were covered.The only thing that I was able to admit about him was that his hairs were copper in color and when he spoke, his voice clearly showed that he was a boy, maybe in his late teens or early twenties."
,"Can you round off his height?" asked Aldrich
,"Would be around 5'6"
Aldrich tried to combine the information to form a figure and Kazuya came in his mind.Well for now he told the Major General to go and he left.
Then Aldrich's mind began to overshadow on every person's appearance he knew and somehow he was feeling the faint sketch of Kazuya.Because he was the only one Aldrich knew with Copper hairs and his dry thoughts were also indicating towards him because only the mist mafia knew about the murder and they could have done this to trap the White Fangs in their wicked cage.Aldrich stood up and decided to go to the President with thoughts revolving in his mind.
----------------------------------------------
ALDRICH'S DETERMINATION
The President was in his President House in Bellevue Palace in Berlin going through the Information of the murder. While looking at them his mind was proceeding through two anxities. The first one was that A great loss as the Professor was a great assistance in making nuclear resources for the Military, and the second one was the arrestment of the Colonel.as he knew that she coldn't commit anything as horrible as that but had no proofs to prove her innocent.
Both matters were rising his worries but he looked forward is positivity and kept on scrolling the details. Suddenly he heard a knock and without looking up he said, "Come In!" Then he looked up to see who it was.Aldrich came in and noticing him he placed the papers on the desk and offeredhim to sit.
Aldrich took the offered seat and the conversation began
,"Aldrich, how did all this happened?" questioned the President.
,"Mist Mafia.I think the Mafia trapped us." Answered Jason.
,"And why do you think so?"
So Aldrich told all that he knew and his doubts, the reasons for his thoughts so Nathaniel said
,"Suppose that what you think is true but how will you prove them wrong for arresting Lisa? What will your next move be?"
,"President I want you to hand the investigation responsibility of this matter, the murder and the crime to me."
,"Okay I'll give you an order to you letter but still how will you handel it."
With a bold and daring look on his face, a hopeful glistering in his eyes and determination in his voice he said
,"Leave it to me.After all 'till today we have came fighting all these things right? Then we'll fight this one too."
As Nathaniel had faith in the Lt. General's determination, and will power he became carefree of the matter because any thing left on Aldrich doesn't remains undone.
So Nathaniel wrote an order letter which said
,"I, The President Of Germany
,Nathaniel Twain,
Gives the authority of Investigation [The Professor's Tobias Tilman's murder] to the Lt. General Aldrich therefore anyone who he desires to investigate is instructed to tell him everything he asks without hesitation by considering it as an order of mine."
On the letter he did his sign and place the President's stamp on it.Aldrich took the letter and went out.

SOMETHING'S BLACK IN THE GRAVY
Norris drove off to Freiburg, the town where Andreas Waltz resided. Andreas was the Chief of Gestapo and he had also once been the part of the White Fangs but as his age had advanced he worked no longer with them. But he was a trust worthy pal who locked the secret in his heart.
After reaching there Norris looked for Andreas's house and came to a big white banglow where he was warmly welcomed by Andreas. They sat together in the lounge and Norris was served with currywurst, and tea.
The Chief spoke, "Well dear Norris, what brang you here today?"
Norris responded, "Actually the Lt. General sent me here.I'm sure you heard about the Professor Tobias's death and the Colonel's arrestment.Right?"
,"Yes...I've heard that, that's tensable."
,"The Lt. General told me to tell you that when he investigated the Major General he told Mr. Aldrich that a person had came to him and had told him that you had sent him to tell Mr. Valarico that today the Professor will be murdered. Is that right?"
On hearing this he became bewildered and exclaimed, "Me! I didn't told any one anything besides.I didn't even knew that something like that would happen.Someone's trapping me.This can be only Mist Mafia."
,"Thank you sir for telling me that.Now I must go now to reach this information to Mr. Aldrich as fast as possible."
Then Norris stood up and drove off.
-----------------------------------------------------------
DIGGING THE MATTER
Luca, captain of the third battalion unit, Reynal, the second Lieutenant and Jurgan, captain of the first battalion unit were investigating every one in the town where the homicide happened.The town had been shielded with barriers and soldiers. Each and every one was being seen under the eye of suspicion but no one knew anything.In that meantime Aldrich was showing no urbanity in investigating any one.
The affair was far more sincere to take it undemanding.All that the Major General had said had been marked down by Denki who was acting as an assistant to Aldrich in the inspection.Just then Norris arrived there and with an agitating look he directly said
,"Lt. General, Mr Andreas said that he sent no one to inform the Major General.He said he had no attachment with this matter."
Just as Aldrich heard that he turned his attention towards Valarico looking sharply in his eyes which affected his strain even more.Aldrich slowly took his steps towards Valarico.Each step made his sweats even more denser.In a dangerously low tune Aldrich spoke
,"Valarico...What does this means? Are you lying to me?"
,"I'm not...I ain't lying.", trying to explain the reality his voice stuttered and he continued, "I told you what the truth was...Believe me Lt. General."
Aldrich's eyes grew narrower and with a deadly looking glare he said, "Valarico, If I came to realize that you were throwing dust in my eyes then there would be no power to prevent you from dying by my hands...Remember this." Then going away from there he asked Denki whether he had wrote down the statement and he responded as a yes.Now Aldrich's doubts had turned into certainty that all this complex was organized by the Mist Mafia.

SUMMONS
Edgar reached Mannheim.He went into street 101, climbed down on the other side of the fence.and move towards the abandoned villa.He knocked on the door and as usual he saw a gun pointing in front of him.It was Eijiro
,"Name? Destination? Purpose? Path?", Eijiro said.
,"Name, Patriot, Destination, the whole world, purpose, to die, path, that leads to nothing."
After listening to that Eijiro put his gun down and said
,"What is it Tycheros?"
Giving a letter to him Edgar said, "This is from Vasilias.He said to give it to your Boss."
Eijiro took the letter then Edgar went away saying, "It's an invitation."
