The Traitor Games, part 1

Mr.Nakayama and Brandon were driving in the car, as they did Mr.Nakayama woukd call Mr.Miyuki who was still at the office.

Mr.Miyuki would be typing away, going over the Alien case as he had himself a donut. Thats when he got the call.

"Mmmm, Nakayama, whats up?" Mr.Miyuki asked

"Hey, I need you to run those files from the emails we got from the old principal of Sawa High. I believe we're close to this. Tell me all the names of the people who were transferred there.

Whichever one showed up, will be the suspect of the wonderland case and will be the one that they were talking about in the email." Mr.Nakayama said

"Alright, I'll get the information right now. I'll hit you up once I got something." Mr.Miyuki said, Mr.Nakayama hung up as he kept driving. Brandon looked at him before leaning aginst the door.

"Look, I know we're not supposed to be on the case, but you have to tell me something. I can't make a PBJ sandwich without the jam. First you ask me that crazy ass favor and now the wonderland case is getting brought up.

I thought that's why you needed me here. To help you with this." Brandon said, Mr.Nakayama sighed as he turned down the street.

"...I trust your instincts, you managed to manage the US. I brought you here to help me manage this." Mr.Nakayama said

"Seems to be going well, seeing your progress with the White Rabbit." Brandon said leaning back, Mr.Nakayama looked over to him and then back to the road.

"...The White Rabbit has no motive, he isn't like any criminal, sociopath or psychopath I've ever met or caught. With no traceable motive his pattern is impossible to get a lead on.

Not to mention he leaves mo evidence, not even crumbs. He's a good cleaner." Mr.Nakayama said, Brandon's eyes looked to him.

"But your better, I know you got a hold of something. You're just not sure how to follow up on it." Brandon said

"...The suspect is...finicky. I have cold reads and some hot, but most of it is just in my head with a few evidences I did gather. With less...than legal means of getting them." Mr.Nakayama said

"Good." Brandon said, Mr.Nakayama looked at him, gave a small smirk before continuing to drive.

"You need to trust me. If you had someone on the inside before, clearly they aren't reliable now." Brandon said

"Yea, they got a bit too close. Now they aren't reliable." Mr.Nakayama said

"I see now. So thats why you asked me that favor. You suspect they're a student. Holy shit...I heard the Japanese were smart, but...wow holy shit." Brandon said

"I knew he was good." Mr.Nakayama thought as he looked to him and to the road.

"We're almost to Sawa high. Get ready." Mr.Nakayama said

"...You will tell me what's going. Once this is over. If catching this suspect means that much to you." Brandon said

"...Solve the Alice case. Then I'll give you what you need." Mr.Nakayama said

"I-"

"What you need. Thats all. Knowing the suspect could put your reliability in jeopardy." Mr.Nakayama said, Brandon looked at him and put his hand on his chin. His brain immediately thinking of possible suspects. Eventually they would reach the school, police cars all over the place including a SAT vehicle outside too. Brandon and Mr.Nakayama got out and walked over where they would see a SAT officer standing near the front entrance to the school.

"Mr.Nakayama." said the SAT officer.

"Officer, give me the run down." Mr.Nakayama said

"Well we have half of the student body off campus. Another half still inside. Likely hiding.

5 casualties. My men are waiting on you." Said the SAT officer. Thats when Mr.Nakayama would get a phone call. He looked to see it was Mr.Ozawa.

"Sir." Mr.Nakayama said

"What the hell is going on out there Nakayama?! I got hundreds of phone calls from parents and reporters about the situation. They're comparing it to those American shootings, now I need this under control and I need it under control NOW.

Tell me you have a plan." Mr.Ozawa said as he slamned his pen down.

"As a matter of fact I do. Call you when I'm done." Mr.Nakayama said as he hung up. He then turned to the SAT officer while Brandon looked at Sawa High. He was mesmerized by its sheer size. He looked at how far it stretched and whistled.

"Wow. This is one of hell of a school, you sure this isn't private? Could run a sweat-shop in here." Brandon chuckled as Mr.Nakayama got his gun loaded and a tazer from the SAT officer. Brandon turned to him.

"What are you doing?" Brandon asked

"I'm going inside. We need this girl apprehended, not killed or maned.

And my daughter is in there." Mr.Nakayama said

"Then I'm coming with you." Brandon said

"You have any combat experience? Been in a fight?" Mr.Nakayama asked, to which Brandon looked like he wanted to say something, but didn't.

"No." Brandon said

"Then your not coming." Mr.Nakayama said as he got to walking.

"This school is almost over 2 miles long and probably wider. It'll take you over an hour or more to find her in there. Let me help." Brandon said, Mr.Nakayama stopped walking. His mind knee better, so did his gut too. If he wanted to get Alice and save Jun he would need more help. Mr.Nakayama took a deep sigh as he gestured for Brandon to come over. Brandon ran over with excitement, the SAT officer looking at him with a odd look.

"Now listen. Theres a girl in there killing people, she will not hesitate to gut you like a fish. You go in there with me, your risk-"

"Save me the speech bullshit. I got it alright? I was in US. Place is a walking minefield of little girls with knives sir.

Now tell me, whats the plan?" Brandon asked, Mr.Nakayama nodded to the SAT officer as he and Brandon walked into Sawa High.

"Plan is this, we split up to cover more ground. You take the two buildings on the right and I will search the main one and the gymnasium. If you spot her, stall and call me. Don't fight, only if you have to. Got it?" Mr.Nakayama said as he turned to Brandon to see him nod.

"Good." Mr.Nakayama said the two began to split up.

"Oh! One more thing. If you find Kibe in here. Rely on him for the fighting." Mr.Nakayama said

"Really?" Brandon asked a bit shocked as he scratched his head.

"Yea, I get the feeling he knows his way around a fight." Mr.Nakayama said as he and Brandon split up.

Kibe was in the infirmary, where Jun and Ita had taken him. Ita & Jun barricaded the door with one of the beds and some equipment. Jun looked over Kibe as he was laying on the bed. His eyes shut, seemingly unconscious.

"Kibe, I know you can hear me. Its going to be alright. The police are here. We'll be fine." Jun said

"FINE!? She cut my friend's throat like a beast! Then went off and killed others. Everything is not ok." Ita shouted, Jun went to him and covered his mouth.

"Be quiet! Do you want her to come here? Not that she would break through that, but if she finds us...I'd hate to use any force against her.

Her eyes...she clearly isn't in the right thought process. Something broke her." Jun said as sheblet go of Ita's mouth. He moved away and leaned on the sink counter in there. Jun took a look their surroundings. The nurse's office was fairly large. 5 beds, one desk aginst the far back wall, a sink near the door and the bed Kibe was on was closest to the window. Both Jun and Ita were puzzled on what to do.

As Kibe slept, old flashes of times he couldn't recollect began to emerge. He was in a colorful and carried hallway. He was young, very young. Sitting on a chair outside of an office. He could see things clearly within this one memory. He saw drawings on the walls, he saw other kids walking side by side with each other. In single file lines they would have a teacher with them. All of them dressed in full white clothes. His eyes looked at them go along. He saw one female teacher holding a little girl, it was Kiko. Her silver eyes stared back at Kibe's.

Thats when Kibe would look forward and see two kids standing next to one another. They were both blonde, had the same haircut and even same eye color.

"Jumeaux..." Kibe muttered. His eyes focused on theirs. The two were just starting at him from down the hallway.

"Il y a plusieurs possibilités, monsieur, mais il faut se rendre à l'évidence. C'est un prodige. Si l'on se réfère aux informations obtenues grâce aux scanners cérébraux. Le garçon est capable de traiter environ 3 milliards de bits d'information par milliseconde.

Il n'est pas seulement meilleur que n'importe quel humain dans l'histoire, il les surpasse complètement et probablement tous ceux qui viendront dans le futur.

Il n'est pas seulement meilleur que n'importe quel humain dans l'histoire, il les surpasse complètement et probablement tous ceux qui viendront dans le futur. Il pourrait battre le record des jumeaux à l'avenir, puisqu'ils en sont à 1 000 milliards." Said a male voice from inside, Kibe's eyes looked over to the door. Heard a few more words spoken, but couldn't quite make them out do the new line of kids, who were much noiser than the last.

"...Je vois, hmmm. Mettez-le contre Chester, je veux voir exactement ce que 2-14-17-1-4-13 peut vraiment faire. Le Dr Abel a pris goût à celui-ci. Il veut voir la soi-disant "machine" évoluer.

Veillez à ce que toutes les informations concernant son développement me soient communiquées." Said a different man, yet his voice was familiar to Kibe somehow.

"Oui, M. Tomomasa." Said the voice from before. However that's when Kibe would wake up, his eyes opening wide. He looked over and saw Ita standing near the door, looking very skeptical and nervous while Jun was sitting in a chair next to Kibe.

"Jun." Kibe said, Jun looked up with joy with Ita also looking at him.

"Thank goodness! You're alright. I tried to bandage you up best I could." Jun said, Kibe looked at his shoulder and saw the wound from before had been sewn up, and given padding. It was amateur, but it would do. Kibe noticed his uniform or least his top was missing just showing his white shirt underneath.

"...Thanks. How is everything? I only saw so much." Kibe said

"How is everything? Dude, she's going around killing people. Everything is bad!" Ita said as he walked over. Kibe sat up with Jun's hands ready to help him, but he gestured he was fine. He stood up completely.

"That stab wound I had Ichii do was a bit deeper than I would have liked. Although nothing comoared to Kat when she stabbed my hand." Kibe thought as he looked at that exact hand and saw the mark in the middle of his palm. It had healed nice, but was a nasty scar. He didn't pay it too much mind. Kibe walked over to the barricaded door.

"Hey hey! That's our one line of defense, you really want to go out there?" Ita asked with a nervous tone. Kibe pulled the bed away with one hand.

"No sense in staying in here. You two should get outside to the police." Kibe said

"How did you know there was-"

"I just do. Now come on." Kibe said, Jun and Ita began to help Kibe remove everything from the door. However during that, Kibe would see through the window of the infirmary. His eyes seeing a glint of light from a far away rooftop.

"A sniper? Doesn't seem right for just a girl." Kibe thought, he didn't want it to know he was staring so he kept removing stuff as he side eyed it.

"Its a Steyr SSG M1 338 Lapua Magnum FDE, bolt action, caliber 338 lapua and a pistol grip. Seeing how I can see it's shine from the scope, I'm guessing its aiming for me.

Himmy was spot on." Kibe said as he, Ita and Jun finished moving everything out of the way. Kibe reached for the door.

"Things may be more complicated for Jun and Ita here than they realized.

However, this is exactly what I knew would occur. This is a opportunity to not only catch Alice and the Doctor, prove my loyalty to the PSIA & Mr.Nakayama, but also catch the one who's been watching me for the past month or more.

Let it begin." Kibe said as he opened the door. Going down the hallway Brandon would be walking cautiously, always peeking around every corner. He walked down the hallway. His brain was racking with many possibilities. He was still thinking about how Mr.Nakayama had pinned the fac that the white rabbit could or is a student of Sawa High. By piecing it together, he managed to come to the same conclusion. However the thought wasn't any less insane to think about. Because of one sole reason.

As Brandon walked he then saw Kibe, Jun and Ita leave the infirmary; and that reason was the first to step out of that room.

"If the white rabbit...could by any chance be you Kibe." Brandon said as he and Kibe made eye contact. Both of them staring at one another.

"Then I may have just taken on; one of the most difficult cases in human history." Brandon thought as he walked over to Kibe. The two shaking hands.

"Glad to see you. In one piece I mean." Brandon said

"Likewise, no sign of Alice?" Kibe asked

"Ah, so it is her. Why the sudden change in pattern? Why just now start a killing here?" Brandon asked

"I believe it could be from a psychological break, it happens. Heavy enough guilt or grief. It wouldn't be much of a suprise." Kibe said

"Alice? You mean from the murder?" Ita asked

"No, your mother." Brandon said, Ita looked at Kibe confused, thats when Kibe would pull Brandon to the side for a moment. Jun looked at them. Brandon then saw the patched up wound on Kibe's shoulder.

"Oooo nice nic. Did you get it from shaving?" Brandon asked

"Focus Wright. Now, I need you to get Jun and Ita out of here. I'm assuming if your here. That Mr.Nakayama is too. Where is he?" Kibe asked

"He went to the left side of the campus, towards the gymnasium." Brandon said, Kibe nodded as he walked away.

"Kibe! Come on, its dangerous!" Jun shouted

"Go!" Kibe said as he began running. Brandon walked to them and then moved them forward.

"You two go and get to a nearby fire escape. The SAT has this place surrounded. They'll get to you. I need to help him out." Brandon said as he left them. Jun and Ita looked at one another before they both went running to the fire escape. On the other side of the campus, Mr.Nakayama was checking rooms when he finally arrived to the doors of the gymnasium. He then could her talking on the otherside. He put his ear to the door.

"The doctor said you'd be fine. I don't know whats come over you, but you must calm down. Otherwise you're place with us is compromised." Said a female voice, it sounded a bit too familiar to Mr.Nakayama, he put his gun away and got out his tazer.

"I'm sorry, I don't know whats come over me. Its like he reached into my head and...I'm sorry." Said Ichii, Mr.Nakayama listened until he then kicked the door open.

"FREEZE!" he shouted, however he did see Ichii there, she was holding her razor and covered in blood, but then his eyes moved to someone else. Another girl with blonde hair. He was in shock at who it was.

"No wa-" however that's when the mysterious girl would shoot Mr.Nakayama in shoulder with a pistol. He'd flinch away and duck under cover as more shots were fired. The SAT, Kibe, Brandon and Jun all stopped at the sound of the gun shots.

"Dad..." Jun muttered

"..."

The SAT officer looked at his watch and then gave out a loud whistle. Thats when he and his men would rush into the building. Unfortunately they had not noticed a black van that had rolled up a few spaces away from them. Kibe would rush down the stairs and down a hallway, however that's when as he was running a shot would be fired in a hallway next to him. He'd look to see several men there. All aiming assault rifles at him. Red dots covering Kibe's torso. Kibe put his hands up.

"I'm guessing from your gear and heavy artillery, that your not here for Alice or to save anyone." Kibe said, one of the men would walk up, taking off his helmet and mask.

"Just you." Said Bo. He then gestured for the men to take Kibe. Two men came up with the rest remaining to point at Kibe with their weapons. They would cuff Kibe and take him outside. While they avoided the actual authorities. As Kibe was taken outside He'd hear a unpleasant familiar voice.

"Hey Kibe! Guess what?" Said Brandon, Kibe sighed as he looked next to him to see Brandon with a black eye and cuffed.

"Looks like we're cuff pals." Brandon said. Kibe just looked forward as the men took Kibe and Brandon, throwing them into the black van. The other men hopped in the back as Bo got in the front and began to drive away.
