THE PROJECT (2)

## May 27th, 5100 A.W.E.

**S:** "What the hell did you say?"

**Light:** "Exactly what you heard."

**Red:** "Wasn't A responsible for destroying the project data and safeguarding the project?"

**A:** "Don't blame me! I was safeguarding the project. I have no idea how they stole it. And if you want to blame someone, blame Light; he kept the project data. How the hell did he even get the data to begin with? I destroyed it!"

**Light:** "I always keep a copy."

**S:** "Well, that's just great. Can you explain why you kept the project data and how the hell it got stolen?"

**Light:** "I have no idea how the hell they stole from the vault."

**S:** "I am going to kill you."

**Blue:** "Everybody, just stop blaming each other! That won't solve anything. We need to find out who stole from us."

**S:** "Fine. Computer, show the footage."

**Light:** "As you can see, they destroyed the footage of the time they broke in. There are sword marks on the wall. Only we and a couple of others can make those marks. There are only a few suspects, assuming none of us robbed ourselves. There are only a few people who can do this, and one of them is in this tower at this very moment."

**S:** "Q?"

**Q:** "You called, boss?"

**S:** "Yes. Did you steal from us?"

**Q:** "Of course not, sir."

**S:** "That settles that; one suspect is crossed off the list."

**Light:** "That was some great interrogation."

**S:** "Do you really think she is lying?"

**Light:** "No."

**S:** "So I went to the courtesy of inviting the second most capable person besides us to the building."

*A woman with white hair walks in.*

**Code:** "Long time no see."

*She is the leader of the elite squad called Code, the governor of the whole world—the people who keep the law—and their leader, the most powerful woman in the world. Code approaches Red and S and hugs them.*

**Code:** "I missed you guys so much."

**Red:** "I missed you too."

**S:** "So did I."

*Code goes to hug A, but A tries to avoid it.*

**Code:** "I missed you the most, old friend."

**A:** "Get off me, you idiot."

*A puts a gun on her waist.*

**Code:** "Still the same, I see."

*Code goes to Blue and slaps him, then punches him in the stomach.*

**Blue:** "Is that how you treat someone?"

**Code:** "Well, if that someone is my ex-husband and the person who tried to kill me, then yes, this is how I treat them."

**Light:** "Enough of this. The reason we called you here is to ask if you stole the project."

**Code:** "What the hell are you talking about? That thing still exists."

**Light:** "Yes, and someone stole it. Was it you?"

**Code:** "Have you lost it? Why would I steal that thing?"

**Light:** "So you didn't steal it?"

**Code:** "Hell no, I didn't! What made you think I did?"

**Light:** "Well, you're the strongest after us, and one of the few people capable of doing so."

**Code:** "Well, I didn't."

**Light:** "Then who the hell stole from us?"

**S:** "Let's go pay a little visit to our friends, then, shall we? Q?"

**Q:** "Yes, boss?"

**S:** "Where was your other self?"

**Q:** "Sir, I don't recommend seeing her."

**S:** "Where is she?"

**Q:** "At an exhibition."

**S:** "Code, find whoever stole from us."

**Code:** "Yes, boss."

**S:** "A, go with her."

**A:** "Why me?"

**S:** "Because it would be hilarious."

**A:** "Screw you."

**S:** "Red, go talk to that woman, and Light, you too."

**Red:** "Are you serious?"

**Light:** "Seriously."

**S:** "Yes. And I'll go pay Q a visit."
