[Looks like the built-in webcam has switched on of its own accord as Adachi storms in, slings his jacket over the chair and starts pacing about furiously. His muttering is picked up by the microphone.]

Shit shit shit shitshit. [He kicks out at something.] Fuck! How the fuck did this happen! This shouldn't - Nanako-chan and Dojima-san, I can't -! [

Adachi?

[det_goofball]

...Hi, Maraich. Um.

[maraihi]

What's wrong?

[det_goofball]

What's wrong? [He gives a sharp, bitter laugh.] What isn't wrong?

[maraihi]

What happened?

[det_goofball]

[He sighs heavily.] Dojima-san's daughter got kidnapped. He went out almost right away in his car to go after the guy and ended up in a crash. Now he's in hospital, Nanako-chan's missing and I don't know what to do!

[maraihi]

Do you need help? We could organize a search party.

[det_goofball]

I don't think that'll help... she's wherever those others ended up.

[maraihi]

You can't just give up.

[det_goofball]

I know! But what can I do!? I can't help, I just have to let a bunch of kids handle it and wait for things to pan out. And meanwhile Dojima-san's hurt...

[maraihi]

You can do something! If a bunch of kids can do stuff you can, too.

Find out where she was when she disappeared!

[det_goofball]

She was at home! Whoever got her, she knew him! Let him in! And I can't do anything, there's something about this whole case that's escaped me and Dojima-san this whole time...

[maraihi]

Well, you could see if there's any witnesses.

[det_goofball]

There weren't! We've done all we can - I mean, we've figured out that it was this deliveryman but he's disappeared too.

[maraihi]

Well, are you hurt at all?

[det_goofball]

No, I'm not... got there too late to really do anything 'cept call an ambulance.
