{{SL|You|Luke, will Joshua really come through here?}} | |||
You and Luke lie in the underbrush, carefully observing the nearby forest for movement. | |||
{{SL|Luke|He should be, according to his path's trajectory, but...}} | |||
Luke fiddles with his phone. He looks puzzled. | |||
{{SL|Luke|His movements are strange. He stops frequently and goes through the woods instead of established paths.}} | |||
{{SL|You|I checked his terminal's position. Ever since reception made that fake announcement, his location hasn't moved.}} | |||
{{SL|You|He must have thrown his terminal away right afterwards.}} | |||
{{SL|Luke|His position on my tracker also isn't moving.}} | |||
{{SL|Luke|It's showing that his position is close to ours. If it doesn't move after three minutes, we'll go look for him ourselves.}} | |||
{{SL|You|Okay.}} | |||
Lying in the grass makes you feel somewhat uncomfortable. | |||
On an island with such a rich ecosystem and a multitude of animal species, you always feel like there are bugs crawling into your clothes. | |||
{{SL|You|Luke, did you always go on wilderness spy missions like this?}} | |||
Your discomfort is only temporary, but Luke probably experienced this kind of thing a lot in the past eight years. | |||
{{SL|Luke|I'm in the Economic and Technological Crime Division. We usually operate within the city.}} | |||
{{SL|Luke|There were a few missions in the southern subtropical jungles. The conditions there were much worse than this.}} | |||
{{SL|Luke|They were a lot more interesting, though.}} | |||
{{SL|Luke|Did you close up your cuffs and collar? How about I spray some more repellent?}} | |||
{{SL|You|I did all of that. Maybe I'm just imagining all the bugs.}} | |||
{{SL|You|It's great that you're back, Luke. You don't have to leave the city when investigating NXX cases, and we can hang out when you're free.}} | |||
{{SL|Luke|Yeah. Right now, I feel like coming back was the right decision. I can—}} | |||
{{SL|Luke|Don't move!}} | |||
{{SL|You|!!!}} | |||
Luke suddenly lowers his voice and has a serious look on his face. Is Joshua here? | |||
You don't dare breathe. All of your attention is focused on your hearing. | |||
From where Luke's looking, the person is coming from behind you, but why didn't you hear a single footstep...? | |||
Luke slowly raises his hand, then suddenly grabs above your back... | |||
{{SL|You|!!!}} | |||
{{SL|You|(What's going on!?)}} | |||
You subconsciously squeeze your eyes shut. | |||
{{SL|Luke|Open your eyes and look.}} | |||
You crack your eyes open and see a blur of scarlet moving in front of you. | |||
{{SL|You|It's a butterfly!}} | |||
A fire-red butterfly is caught between Luke's fingers. It gently flaps its wings. | |||
{{SL|Luke|Isn't it beautiful?}} | |||
{{SL|You|Yes! It's so pretty!}} | |||
You extend a finger and lightly touch the small butterfly's wings, causing it to quiver slightly. | |||
{{SL|You|Why'd you scare me just now? I thought Joshua had come.}} | |||
{{SL|Luke|I just suddenly wanted to tease you.}} | |||
You raise a fist towards Luke and put on what you think is a fierce face. | |||
{{SL|You|Hmph! You're cruisin' for a bruisin'!}} | |||
{{SL|Luke|You can't hit me. You said you'd listen to me during the operation!}} | |||
{{SL|You|I will, but I'll decide when it's "during the operation"!}} | |||
{{SL|Luke|Such a cheat...}} | |||
{{SL|Luke|Okay, you can hit me as much as you want afterwards. It's been three minutes without any movement sighted. C'mon, let's go look.}} | |||
{{SL|You|This...}} | |||
When you reach Joshua's GPS position, you don't see anyone at all. | |||
Beneath the towering trees, a functioning tracker lies in the grass. | |||
{{SL|You|When we were coming over 10 minutes ago, this tracker was still moving. Joshua must've just realised.}} | |||
{{SL|You|If he left the tracker here, then he couldn't have gotten far. Let's look around here?}} | |||
Luke squats down and carefully examines the tracker. | |||
From time to time, he takes a few steps and parts grass to examine the area. He's so focused that he doesn't hear you at all. | |||
{{SL|You|Hey... You find anything?}} | |||
Watching Luke, you don't dare move in case you disturb the scene, so you use a tree trunk to lean over and tap him. | |||
{{SL|Luke|He isn't around here.}} | |||
{{SL|You|No way. A normal person walks at a speed of about four kilometers per hour...}} | |||
{{SL|You|If it's only been 10 minutes since he stopped moving, he should be within 700 meters from here.}} | |||
Luke stands up and puts the pea-sized locator that Joshua had dropped into his pocket. He then hands you a white feather. | |||
{{SL|Luke|He's truly isn't around here because the locator was dropped by "it," not him.}} | |||
You take the feather and look at it, understanding what Luke means. | |||
{{SL|You|It? A bird?}} | |||
{{SL|Luke|That's right. I just ran a comparative search. This is probably the feather of a Nosta gull.}} | |||
{{SL|Luke|Joshua's terminal hasn't moved since he arrived at the island. It's probably been abandoned for a while now.}} | |||
{{SL|Luke|He's very clever. After discovering the tracker on him, he didn't discard it like the watch.}} | |||
{{SL|Luke|He caught a Nosta gull, put the locator on it, and let the bird move for him.}} | |||
{{SL|Luke|We'd discover this problem with the tracker sooner or later, but he bought himself enough time to escape our monitoring.}} | |||
{{SL|You|You confirmed it was attached to a bird just by this feather alone?}} | |||
{{SL|Luke|Of course not. The footprints you were talking about are also proof.}} | |||
{{SL|Luke|There aren't any footprints around here except for ours, and Joshua can't fly.}} | |||
{{SL|Luke|Also, do you remember when I said that Joshua's trajectory looked very strange?}} | |||
{{SL|Luke|That was actually the bird moving and stopping, not Joshua. The tracker dropped when it flew here.}} | |||
{{SL|You|Then where are we going to find him?}} | |||
{{SL|Luke|From where the bird first took flight.}} | |||
{{SL|Luke|Nosta gulls are very nimble birds and are difficult to catch.}} | |||
{{SL|Luke|They only lower their guard when eating, so that's the best time to catch one.}} | |||
{{SL|Luke|Among all the Nosta gull habitats here, there's one place that happens to coincide with Joshua's path. That's where the terminal is.}} | |||
{{SL|Luke|We may be able to find hints about Joshua's whereabouts there, like footprints.}} | |||
{{SL|Luke|I'm confident that even without the tracker, Joshua won't be able to get away.}}}}--> | |||
