Genesis appreciated the curtness that this girl displayed. She had right to be closed off, most people usually were with strangers. The child next to her seemed to withdraw into herself at the sight of him. He was slightly offended, as he never considered himself to be scary or unapproachable, but then again the mind of a child was not one that truly thought in such terms; it was more emotionally driven. At least that he could understand.
Smiling at the older female, he responded, "I assumed as much. I recognized the signs of Ninjutsu and found it fascinating and was wondering if the two of you are Ninja of this Village. We don't have Shinobi where I come from...well..." At this he extended his palm and a small orb of light appeared in it. With a mental direction it started hovering around his body in a spiral before beginning to fly around the room "...I guess it's more accurate to say we didn't. Although I am very new to this world, I am eager to learn of it's ways and, perhaps, share some of my own views to those of Kumokagure."
Taking a step backwards he bowed slightly "If you'll excuse me, I too must take my leave. There is much work to be done and the hour is early" He smiled once more "Have a blessed day, Lady Ada" With that he strode towards the door, passing the small child whom seemed to be so frightened of him. Turning on his heel as he passed her, he did a very elegant and silly bow, a cheap attempt to make the child laugh or otherwise dissuade her discomfort "And to you as well, Tiny Madam" That bit of theatrics aside, he exited the Police Station without other mentionable interaction.
Time to train.

__ Ada noted Selina's unease as effectively as anyone else could have. She wasn't subtle, but she wasn't clear either. Perhaps they'd talk about it later? If there were certain problems she had with certain kinds of people Ada would want to know so that she could better support her partner. Hopefully the headbands they wore would be enough to answer his question for now; it wasn't like she was left much room to actually reply. She simply nodded to Genesis when he also took the cue to go about his own business then scratched the back of her head for the moment that she was alone in the briefing room. 'I suppose I'm not surprised that we too have all sorts of characters around the village too.' With that thought out of the way she would briskly catch up to Selina. Ada gently patted the girl on the back and whispered, "Everything okay, partner?" She didn't want to jump right into another assignment unless Selina was at one-hundred percent and focused.
__"His headband..." Selina said, albeit too late. She was finally able to deduce why she felt weary of him. "His headband wasn't like ours. He didn't get it from the Raikage." She said. She realized the reason why she didn't trust him is because the headband looked fake, like something which would pass to someone not observing the situation. Selina drastically turned to Ada and looked worried. "We need to investigate him, as well as anyone else with a fake headband. As magical girls, we cannot let my home nation be invaded." She said as confidence returned to her voice. Now that she recognized what was wrong, she was ready to fight.
__ Ada knew she had her moments of lapsed attention, but she was almost certain that she didn't see that Genesis fellow wearing any headband. Nonetheless, Selina was certainly shaken by it, although she was almost offended that she wasn't included in the concern for the nation being invaded. That was a lesser detail compared to the matter at hand. A solemn smile gave form to her tone, "Okay, Selina. We'll look into mister Hohenheim and keep an eye out for anyone else suspected of invading our home. However, we also have to be mindful of our position and responsibilities to the KPD." For only a moment, she looked away at the bulletin board with available assignments but sighed. For now, they could just do this investigation. "Come." Ada rather assertively took Selina's hand into her own, "Let's go find him and find out as much as he's willing to share directly. We can compare his story with whatever we're able to dig up afterward." She would lead her partner away and out of the headquarters to tail after Genesis. They needed to find a lead, if there even was one to be had.

___Missions were fun right? Well, Kaneo had thought they would be and yet here he was, sifting through a literal bucket of kunai. How did this qualify as a mission? It was just menial labor, they could hire someone to take stock of their damn store, and it'd probably be more cost effective. Forty two, in this stack. Kaneo added the number to his sheet and moved on to something else. [ Supply Counting post 1/4 ]
Two great swords. Why the hell did the police department armory have great swords!? Ah who the hell even cared. A dozen short swords, a handful of bows and complementary ammunition. There were two cases of daggers, which amounted to twenty four units, and a few others that were left over from the last supply crates. The genin spent a few more minutes digging around to make sure he hadn't missed anything and finalized his list of martial weaponry. [ Supply Counting post 2/4 ]
Next up was armor and general equipment. They were a bit low on actual flak jackets, leaving just the surplus vests. Kaneo noted as much on his form and continued digging through the stacks of heavy clothing. Looks like they had just gotten in new gloves, five pairs to be exact. The old newbie figured that made sense, as they were some of the most wear intensive items a shinobi might don during a mission. [ Supply Counting post 3/4 ]
Wrapping up, Kaneo took stock of noteworthy electronic devices. There were a few old handheld radios, which he powered on to make sure they were still operational. Everything good on that front. Salvaged discrete units were abundant, a rather morbid stat actually. He could have easily connected them to his own to check if they worked, but there were enough here that he chose to forego that particular task in favor of expediency. It wasn't listed as a requirement anyways, the other crap was just so old that he didn't want it handed to a civilian during an emergency only to have it not work. [ Supply Counting post 4/4 ]
Stuff here eventually

Hachiro had always stood aloof around the outside of the KPD for his entire first year of living in the Kumogakure. So much so, that the police chief had eventually interrogated him about what he was doing. Realizing that Hachiro was just interested in their works, the chief had him intern at the department during his Academy days. Now that he was a full fledged Genin, he was sworn in as a rookie officer. Hachiro was to pick up his badge today. He entered the station, waiving to the common faces as he moved to the supply Sargent.
" Afternoon Sir" Hachiro said as he reached the desk. " Just here for my badge."
The supply Sargent laughed, prodding at Hachiro for finally growing up into a real officer. With a bolstering smile, Hachiro would make small talk with the man until the police chief passed by. Sliding his Badge onto his belt, Hachiro followed beside the chief.
"Boy. I already told you no." The chief spat between sips of his morning coffee. His furry upper lip curled as his brow ruffled. Hachiro's fists tightend as he became frustrated with this reply. " C'mon!!" He exclaimed, to that the chief spun around, sticking his finger in Hachiro's face. " There's a difference between a missing person and not knowing where someone is. I suggest you accept that and work your way into the rest of the force like every other Jaeger we have or you give me that damned badge before you find yourself unemployed "
Hachiro sighed. Accepting that this chief would never let him work on his own investigation into his personal matters. Still, it wouldn't stop him forever. He would go to the assignment board to ponder on what exactly it was he would be doing today.
Hachiro exited the PD. As he did, the shadow of a falcon swooped over his head. Glancing up, he would discover it to be a falcon with a scroll. As it landed before him, it would drop the scroll to his hands.
Opening the scroll he would read of a mission requiring him to escort some loggers to a wood cutting site to begin deforestation. With s sigh, he rolled the scroll up and headed to the village gates to meet his escort group.
__ Ada would arrive back at the Kumogakure Police Department headquarters. The rigorous bout of training was now with her forever more. Now she was more prepared to serve Kumogakure's people than ever before. 'I suppose I shall browse our assignment options for now. If Selina comes soon then we can work together again. If not...' She shrugged solemnly, "I can work alone if need be." Sad as the notion sounded, there was in fact plenty of work to be done. The more time wasted thinking or waiting the more time lost getting that work done.

__ Well, since she was waiting anyway Ada figured she might as well spend her time doing work around headquarters. Selina could probably find her somehow or another. Just as Ada reached to take a posted assignment Captain Jirocho Akimichi approached her. "Ahemhrm! Rookie! Where've you been? You and your partner've been missing for a bit. I know you're not really obligated to be here, yet, but if you're gonna do this work then show a little commitment!" Ada slowly retracted her hand from the bulletin board and turned around on her heels to face her superior. 'How troublesome...' She stood at attention and replied, "Sir! My partner, Selina, and I felt that our skills were inadequate to fulfill our duties. We took a break from work here to hone those skills with training. Please excuse our absence." She offered a curt bow then returned to attention with a salute for Jirocho. The captain quietly scoffed and shrugged. He briefly saluted her in return then spoke right after, "Fine, whatever. Report to the interrogation department. I'm gonna have you make up for all the time you wasted. Well? C'mon, get moving!" He patted his somewhat plump belly and started walking away after dismissing her.
Ada read the first report. It was a girl about her age apprehended for tagging walls with graffiti. Ada honestly didn't see why this required an interrogation, at first. After talking with the girl for awhile she learned that the girl was marking territory for a local gang. **KPD MISSION - Interrogation - Basic [ D-Rank | 1/5 Posts (MAX) ]
With the name of the gang at her disposal, Ada reported her findings. They set her up with another interrogation right away. The next one was with a member of that same gang. He was rather difficult to get to talk at first, but eventually he would let slip the name of a contact. **KPD MISSION - Interrogation - Basic [ D-Rank | 1/5 Posts (MAX) ]
The contact was brought in for questioning rather quickly by other Jaegers. That saved her quite a bit of trouble. To show her thanks, Ada took part in the next interrogation too. The middle-aged man refused to speak for quite a while, but eventually Ada forced him to give away something about an ongoing operation. **KPD MISSION - Interrogation - Basic [ D-Rank | 1/5 Posts (MAX) ]
Unlucky for this gang, but the Jaegers were swiftly dispatched and caught a whole bunch of their members in the act. A job well done. However, there were still several loose ends. Ada would interview one of the recently captured gang members and found out a little about what they were trying to do. **KPD MISSION - Interrogation - Basic [ D-Rank | 1/5 Posts (MAX) ]
Sure enough, all that was said was very little. They were trying to cover for theirself as much as their gang. That didn't hide the little details that slipped through during their talks, though. These little thefts scattered throughout the village were leading to something... more. It was largely on Ada to put the pieces of the puzzle together to figure out what, though. **KPD MISSION - Interrogation - Basic [ D-Rank | 1/5 Posts (MAX) ]
The last gang member was soon replaced by another in her interrogation room. Like all the rest, he didn't really care for local law enforcement. However, also like the rest, he wasn't as tightly lipped as he thought he could be. **KPD MISSION - Interrogation - Basic [ D-Rank | 1/5 Posts (MAX) ]
Now she was getting more names to sort out this little crime spree. The punks defacing the village and stealing little things here and there. The next gang member only added to her list and grew her file on this case. **KPD MISSION - Interrogation - Basic [ D-Rank | 1/5 Posts (MAX) ]
It all just seemed strange. She would ask the second in command of this gang's member about why they were making all of this mess at all. Reluctantly, he ended up passing that question on to their boss. **KPD MISSION - Interrogation - Basic [ D-Rank | 1/5 Posts (MAX) ]
These punks were extremely annoying. The ruffians didn't care for anything but theirselves. Their boss was no different, of course, but that didn't stop Ada from girlling him to the end. He would eventually snap enough to mention that others were actually pulling the strings. **KPD MISSION - Interrogation - Basic [ D-Rank | 1/5 Posts (MAX) ]
Her success with the previous case earned her quite a bit of recognition and credit amongst the higher ranking Jaegers. However, she had learned enough to segue into another case right away. The boss of that other gang mentioned someone who had already been taken into custody so Ada was given permission to interrogate her too. The haughty little vixen gave her a bit more trouble than any of the rest had so far, but she settled that quickly and got more answers about these gangs' strange behaviors. **KPD MISSION - Interrogation - Intermediate [ C-Rank | 1/4 Posts (MAX) ]
Some time passed with no real luck with the ongoing case. As such, the woman from before was brought back in for more questioning. Ada wasn't sure how much more she could pull out of her, but she was doing pretty well so far. Fortune would have it that she could get an actual name and location to search for a suspect. **KPD MISSION - Interrogation - Intermediate [ C-Rank | 1/4 Posts (MAX) ]
Other Jaegers kindly helped out by bringing in the next suspect. Ada had a tough bout with this one. In fact she was sure she would have to bring him back in for more questioning even with what little she was able to get from him about vague descriptions of others involved in his "work". **KPD MISSION - Interrogation - Intermediate [ C-Rank | 1/4 Posts (MAX) ]
As expected, the Jaeger corps was unable to do much with the information they received from the last interrogation. Whatever these people were planning, it was bigger than the last gang's petty crimes. Ada had that man brought back before her and had to get a bit rough this time to drag answers out of him. **KPD MISSION - Interrogation - Intermediate [ C-Rank | 1/4 Posts (MAX) ]
Now they had enough information to launch a sting operation. All would go well enough for the Jaegers to capture a few more of this more criminally aggressive gang. Ada would question a few of the more loose-lipped ones to get some dirt on their higher ups before bringing them in for a talk too. **KPD MISSION - Interrogation - Intermediate [ C-Rank | 1/4 Posts (MAX) ]
Using what she had learned from the previous interrogation, Ada would start to get more strategical about this part of her work. The next punk would've been almost impossible to crack. However, she was lucky he had a bit of soft spot regarding his baby sister which yielded some interesting info about the rest of their chain of command. **KPD MISSION - Interrogation - Intermediate [ C-Rank | 1/4 Posts (MAX) ]
The KPD's Jaegers still didn't have the complete picture about what was going on around the village. However, this much was enough to determine that it had to be stopped before anything got out of hand. The next suspect Ada interrogated was surprisingly compliant after hearing what happened to the last, and he pointed her in the "right direction" for a deal that he'd be protected even while incarcerated. **KPD MISSION - Interrogation - Intermediate [ C-Rank | 1/4 Posts (MAX) ]
Ada wished she care more for any of this beyond her simply being so dutiful. The rest of the force seemed to be recognizing her abilities, though. She made a point not to get rusty with her ninja training by flaunting her skills a little to make the next interrogation target talk. They revealed a little info about some of the various operations their gang was handling. **KPD MISSION - Interrogation - Intermediate [ C-Rank | 1/4 Posts (MAX) ]
The scope of these crimes was only broadening more and more. Ada was starting to wonder if Kumogakure was more rotten underneath than one might have immediately presumed. She'd learn even more about this gang's embezzling operations from the next woman brought before her. **KPD MISSION - Interrogation - Intermediate [ C-Rank | 1/4 Posts (MAX) ]
This next interrogation would prove to be one of the biggest ringers for her. Over the course of interviewing the rest of the gang members they had captured so far, Ada learned that they were the ones coordinating the lesser gangs' tasks too. On top of that, this gang's leader would eventually admit to answering to a more imposing underground crime syndicate. **KPD MISSION - Interrogation - Intermediate [ C-Rank | 1/4 Posts (MAX) ]
It took a tremendous amount of digging for the rest of the KPD, not just the Jaegers, but they'd finally nail a member of this new adversary. The thug was brought before Ada in hopes that she could continue to prove herself a valuable asset with her information gathering skills. Of course, even she had no easy time with this one due to his loyalty but she did get a few tidbits of info that they could probably put to work later. **KPD MISSION - Interrogation - Advanced [ B-Rank | 1/3 Posts (MAX) ]
Ada requested a second sitting with the same suspect as before. He was as resistant as ever. However, Ada did manage to drag out the name of the small crime syndicate he was a part of. **KPD MISSION - Interrogation - Advanced [ B-Rank | 1/3 Posts (MAX) ]
A name for their organization was actually pretty helpful since it gave them a "face", so to speak, to pin everything to and keep an eye on. Ada would bring the man back again soon after for more questioning. With their third meeting, he was a little more receptive to her tenacity and mentioned another member of his gang. **KPD MISSION - Interrogation - Advanced [ B-Rank | 1/3 Posts (MAX) ]
The Jaegers had their work cut out for them arresting the next one. Thankfully they could manage well enough. The next guy was brought before Ada and grilled with enough intensity to make him hint at their gang's goal. **KPD MISSION - Interrogation - Advanced [ B-Rank | 1/3 Posts (MAX) ]
Apparently, due to the lax leadership before Chosokabe's appointment, the crime in the village was more functional than should be tolerated. With the village so focused on just staying functional, underground gangs like these could get away with a lot. Ada talked to the last suspect again to get more info on their operations. **KPD MISSION - Interrogation - Advanced [ B-Rank | 1/3 Posts (MAX) ]
All she could manage to confirm so far was that they were in fact overseeing the work of the lesser gangs. The profits of their dirty handiwork just trickled up into this gang's pockets. Ada would also find out a little about this gang's hierarchy. **KPD MISSION - Interrogation - Advanced [ B-Rank | 1/3 Posts (MAX) ]
It was unsurprising that there would be a kingpin figure. What was surprising however was that this person was apparently a missing ninja from a foreign nation. Ada brought the first man in again and made him confess a little more about their leader, letting him gloat like the KPD was powerless to stop them now. **KPD MISSION - Interrogation - Advanced [ B-Rank | 1/3 Posts (MAX) ]
Ada finally had a name and profile to attach to this gang's kingpin. He was operating well in the shadows and still completely out of view. To get more information about the syndicate itself Ada interrogated the second gang member they brought in again. **KPD MISSION - Interrogation - Advanced [ B-Rank | 1/3 Posts (MAX) ]
With a slip of the tongue, she had another name. An officer, apparently not especially high ranking in the gang, was identified, apprehended and brought in for questioning. She needed to get rough with this one, but would get a lead on a couple other officers too. **KPD MISSION - Interrogation - Advanced [ B-Rank | 1/3 Posts (MAX) ]
A couple teams of more experienced Jaegers were deployed to make arrests. The other suspect was still missing by the time the first was brought in. Ada proceeded with her work for the time being, taking in all details that seemed to gradually painting a rather vile picture. **KPD MISSION - Interrogation - Advanced [ B-Rank | 1/3 Posts (MAX) ]
The other suspect was finally captured too. He was brought to Ada for questioning too. A lot of the information she dragged out of him was just confirming what was known, but there were new tidbits which bred deep concern. **KPD MISSION - Interrogation - Advanced [ B-Rank | 1/3 Posts (MAX) ]
The KPD was starting to raise several red flags now. All the same, Ada was extremely concerned too. She would revisit each of this gang's members that were in their custody one more time. To her dismay, she confirmed that they were already in position for a major operation which would give them enough leverage to cause even bigger problems for Kumogakure in the near future. This had to be put to a stop, and soon. Ada would personally see to it since she was already this deeply involved, and she could hope for no one better than her partner, Selina, to have her back for it. Congratulations were given to Ada as well as several commendations for her integral involvement in these cases. **KPD MISSION - Interrogation - Advanced [ B-Rank | 1/3 Posts (MAX) ]
Once Ada was finally finished with all that she would get back to the job bulletin board. Hopefully she hadn't already missed Selina. The assignment she was about to pick before was already gone, unfortunately. 'Hmmmn... I'll just wait for my partner before picking something for us to do.' Ada shrugged and just went back to analyzing their options for the time being.

__”Aaaaaaddaaaaaa!!!!” Selina screamed. She discarded the boy as she leaped haphazardously onto her partners back. “Ada I missed you so much!” She whined. She shook from left to right before she fell to the ground. “Everything happened so fast. First I was sad that you left, then I made a pretty picture! Then ink fell from the sky and ruined my pretty picture! Then I cried more. But now I’m okay!” Her voice was in full blossom by the time she stuck her fist in the air. She had her partner back. Now it was time to have fun again.
__ He felt uncomfortable as he was led by the hand to the headquarters of the Kumogakure Police Department.After the two entered he was instantly abandoned by the young girl as she jumped on the back of someone he could only assume was a friend of hers.Kenshin was finally free of her grip as he approached the front desk.He was immediately directed to the new recruit desk for Jaegers and followed suit. When he approached the appropriate front desk he began filling out legal forms for his file. His file already included his academy records and other pieces of information. He signed his contracts and returned them to the front desk where they were stamped and his file was completed. He also included the full and honest reason why he did not have a birth certificate for Kumogakure. His father was a rogue ninja from Kumogakure and a thief while his mother was a prostitute. His listed place of birth was written as the high-security prison located in Gimangakure. Kenshin was concerned that this might hurt his reputation already starting out, but he was more than willing and able to prove himself as a model officer.
After he waited for about a half hour he was then given the approval to meet with Captain Jirocho Akimichi in his office. Kenshin approached the office with the open door and took a seat. "Ah! Another rookie! I just got your file. What brings you to the K.P.D.?" Kenshin made eye contact with his piercing, but expressionless pale eyes. "I was recruited by a small girl and the Lord Raikage recommended that I take this path." His tone was very deep and serious as he spoke to the captain. "Hmm, yes, you already have a cop vibe going on. No need to be so serious when you're off the job though!" The man laughed loudly as he consumed a few donuts from the box on his desk and Kenshin did not join in on his laughter. Jirocho then cleared his throat before speaking again. "Anyway, rookie, your file looks good, but your lack of a birth certificate and place of birth are...interesting." The police captain began to trail off before Kenshin responded. "Yes sir, my parents were inmates, my father was a rogue ninja of this village and my mother was a prostitute. When I came of age I left the prison and came to Kumogakure on my father's family's graces." Kenshin was an honest man and he had to be honest about his own past as well. "If the raikage says you're good then you're good with us too. Now, go to the mission board and do some interrogations and we will see your worth, Kosei." Kenshin stood up and saluted before funneling out into the crowded hallway full of officers. He immediately signed up for the Interrogation job at the top of the basic mission roster.
Kenshin would begin his first mission in the interrogation wing. The KPD needed information regarding a string of petty crimes which had been occurring in the village as of late. He sat down at the interrogation table and quickly read through the dossiers. When the suspect entered he began his line of questioning. The suspect was a young boy who confessed to being a part of a pickpocketing operation in central Kumogakure.
Once the boy was excused from the questioning Kenshin moved onto the second case file. He sat alone in a dark, stale room with a single bright fluorescent light above the metal table. "So a group of street urchins have a giant operation with no leader? Who is behind this?" He was puzzled as he scanned through the second suspect's file. He called in the second boy and asked for additional details before uncovering that they have a leader, but the boy did not know who it was.
He excused the second suspect and prepared his case file for the third suspect. "While this is a petty crime they seem to be making a decent wad of cash per month, it appears to be in the small thousands of ryo per month overall." Kenshin made note of this in his report as he called a witness in for questioning. This man had his wallet stolen from his pocket by the child's gang. The witness was questioned and added a piece to the puzzle that this gang has been operating for roughly eighteen months.
Kenshin called in another young boy for questioning. This boy, like the others, had dirt on his face and raggedy clothes. However, Kenshin observed that all of the boys he interrogated so far wore grown men's coats. Kenshin asked him where he got the coat from, who their leader was, and where the headquarters was located. The only information he concretely received was that the coats were not stolen and were actually provided by their bosses.
When he sent that boy away he moved to the next case file. The puzzle was starting to fit together. He now knew that this pickpocket gang was made up of young boys, that they operate in central Kumogakure, that they have an income of a few thousand ryo per month, and that they have grown men as their bosses. When the next suspect came in, another boy, Kenshin asked him who his bosses were and where they were located. The boy then confessed that he received orders from grown men who hid their faces. Kenshin dismissed him.
Kenshin was now roughly halfway there to discovering who was behind this pickpocket ring. The boys themselves seemed genuinely clueless about the identities of these men and where they were hiding. Kenshin's end goal was to be able to have enough information for the KPD to send officers to their hideout and arrest them. This was the end goal, but for now, he had to keep questioning suspects and witnesses. He called in an old woman and asked her if she had seen any masked men communicating with the boys and she recalled seeing tall men in ski masks collecting money from the boys.
Kenshin called in the next boy suspect. The boys were agile and well trained in picking pockets but were easy for police to apprehend. He asked this boy who he worked for and he described the men the same way as the other suspects and witnesses but included that the men always received at least half of all of the valuables stolen.
"Using children to steal from others and then hiding behind those children, cowards." Kenshin's ire and frustration only grew as he read through the next case file. He called the next boy in and asked again who he worked for and where his bosses were located. This boy stated that he was trained first hand in picking pockets by the masked men and that after he learned he trained other boys. He knew little else of the masked men's identities and said that he was trained in an unknown warehouse.
Kenshin was now a lot closer than he was before. So the masked men train only a few boys in an unknown location and then instruct them to train other boys after they recruit them. Then after picking pockets, the boys give half of their findings to the men. He called in the next suspect, the last young boy on the list. He said that he was trained to pickpocket as well at Rob Co. Warehouse in central Kumogakure and that he knew little else of his bosses.
Finally, the last suspect was given permission to enter after Kenshin read through his case file. This man was apprehended in central Kumogakure wearing a ski mask. Kenshin intensely interrogated him for many hours about Rob Co. Warehouse. With the threat of torture the man conceded and gave Kenshin all of the information and he then recorded in his report. After that, he gave the report to the other officers who would send a dispatch to the Rob Co. warehouse to arrest the leaders of the pickpocket ring. He was then given a badge and the title of officer for a job well done.
Now that the newly minted Officer Kosei helped crack the pickpocketing case the KPD was prepared to assign him to a new job. His fellow jaegers and other officers were impressed with his quick advancement from rookie to officer. He changed interrogation rooms and was given a new assignment from Captain Jirocho Akimichi. "Yes sir!" He accepted the assignment with a bow before entering the next interrogation room. This case was an obviously higher profile and his first full assignment as an officer.
After carefully reading through the file he determined that this was a drug gang operation. He summoned the first suspect for interrogation and asked him several questions. When the suspect finished answering the questions and had nothing else Kenshin dismissed him. The suspect confessed to the charges and that he was a low-level member of a drug gang called "The Poisoners."
Once that drug dealer was handled he understood that the Poisoners were a real drug gang, but he wanted to know where they were headquartered. Another drug dealer with suspected involvement entered. Kenshin hammered him with questions in a loud voice for quite some time until he confessed that he was also a member of the Poisoners, but had no knowledge of the headquarters, but that their main area to push product was eastern Kumogakure. Kenshin then reported to the KPD to increase police patrols in that area to apprehend further suspects.
The next suspect entered and sat across from the austere Officer Kosei. Kenshin began his intense line of questioning regarding the Poisoners. Since this suspect was arrested in eastern Kumogakure he was certainly a suspect. He too confessed to involvement with the Poisoners but stated that he was only a low-rung drug dealer. He was then taken away and returned to his cell.
Kenshin waved in the next man as he sped read through his profile. He continued the standard line of questioning. The man then confessed to his affiliation with the group and stated that he was a mid-level dealer. He offered little other relevent information so Kenshin dismissed him to the other officers.
The next suspect entered and this one was a woman. She seemed tattered but young and conventionally attractive. He questioned her and she admitted to being involved in the various drug operations as a prostitute and an informer. She did not have any further information that he needed in this case so he sent her away.
What Kenshin needed to solve this case was information that would lead to where the drugs were being produced so that a sting could be put into place. He allowed another man entered and he sat down across the table as the light pounded down on him. Kenshin hammered him with questions until he gave details about his bosses and noted that there were only two bosses who worked as partners and that they have not yet been arrested. Kenshin dismissed him but was pleased with himself that he got another clue.
The subsequent suspect entered the room as Kenshin's pale white eyes pierced through him. Kenshin utilized numerous interrogation tactics and questioning strategies until the man broke. He revealed that he was not a dealer, but a mid-level product distributor. He claimed to never deliver directly to the HQ, but he did provide insight on the distribution apparatus.
This was a rather medium-scale drug operation that occurred across the village in multiple areas with complex connections. It seemed that most of the dealers were operating in poorer districts of eastern Kumogakure though. Kenshin summoned the next suspect who confirmed that there was not merely one, but multiple drug processing facilities across the village at various locations. He sent him away now that he had a more useful hint.
The next man to enter was questioned by Officer Kosei until he eventually confessed to having connections to the two top bosses. Kenshin asked about their current whereabouts and he stated that they may be processing drugs at the moment in an abandoned house in the residential district. Officer Kosei immediately sent them away before informing his fellow jaegers to patrol that address.
After the suspect made one additional confession in regards to the identities of the bosses Kenshin sent him away. Once the suspect was taken to his cell and the officers began moving out to that location he submitted his completed report to Captain Jirocho. The captain then promoted Officer Kosei to Lieutenant Kosei for his exemplary success in interrogation for this case. Now the case was closed.
Lieutenant Kosei then returned to the interrogation wing for one final assignment for the time being. He read through this much more detailed case file. This time they merely had one suspect for interrogation and had much less information on the status of a possible hitmen/blood money group in Kumogakure. The police lieutenant then called the suspect in and questioned him before he confessed to his involvement in the group.
Kenshin would have to press on into additional information about this group. He asked more questions in his usual hard lined bad cop tone. Eventually, the man cracked and revealed that the hitmen group was called Dirge.
Now he wanted to know just how many people were involved in this crime syndicate. He pressed with more accusatory questions and threatened to torture him until he gave a confession. He revealed that they had twenty active hitmen.
"Hm, so this is a hitmen group with twenty hitmen called Dirge and he is involved with them. Who employs them though?" He wondered to himself as he pressed on with further questioning. He stated that Dirge's main employers were wealthy noble families seeking to settle disputes with other families as well as eliminate criminals imposing death threats on the noble families. He then stated that he had no idea the true identities of his clients as they used aliases.
He now knew that this group carried out high level contracts for high pay so Dirge certainly had money going through his hands. Kenshin asked where they hid their money and how their profits were laundered. He then confessed that they used a local ice cream business for that in western Kumogakure.
"This case certainly does have a lot of moving parts, but justice will be done." The determined officer continued his coercive line of questioning until the suspect made another confession. He stated that they operate and execute contracts across the village with no single headquarters.
Lieutenant Kosei then asked questions regarding the leadership of the Dirge. He wanted to be able to dispatch officers to bring the bosses to justice. He confessed that they do not have a leader who is a hitman, but instead are funded by a wealthy banker.
A banker funding them and acting as the leader of Dirge from the shadows was a very threatening prospect indeed. Kenshin now needed to know the man's identity. He asked repeatedly and once again threatened the man with torture until he confessed and spoke that he did not know the man's name, but did know the bank he was working for.
Kenshin reported to the other officers immediately that they should launch an investigation to find this banker and to also close down the money laundering ice cream business. He continued to write down as many details as possible in his notes. He then asked for the identities of the other hitmen and where they may be hiding. He listed off roughly five of the names but was unsure of where they lived or may be operating.
The KPD officers and Jaegers were now moving in full force to crack down on Dirge. The investigation into Dirge continued with increased fervor. Kenshin then asked the former hitmen if there were any contracts underway which could be prevented. He stated three contracts against certain individuals before he was arrested that Dirge may be reassigning soon.
Kenshin then sent word to more officers to find and protect the three named individuals inside of headquarters. He then asked if there were any more targets of Dirge that he knew of and he stated another five names.
Kenshin asked him for additional confessions and he revealed as many names and descriptions involving Dirge that he could remember. Now he had officially run out of confessions. Kosei then filed his full report and dismissed the man back to his cell. He handed his report to Captain Jirocho Akimichi as he was handed a new badge signaling his new rank of captain of the KPD for his intensive interrogations which helped immensely in the crackdown on Dirge.
Kenshin now walked towards the main lobby when he found the small girl again and approached her as well as her friend. "Thank you for bringing me here. My name is Kenshin Kosei and I am the KPD Jaeger's newest member. What's your name?" He asked her as he suspected that she was going to be a fellow officer with him in the future.He then looked at her friend and spoke. "And yours?" He did not want this interaction of pleasantries to go on for very long.

__ Ah, there she was. Ada mustered as much self control as she could to restrain her reflexes, as well as the protective sand shields. This permitted Selina to have her flying hug attack. Her training would be much more worthwhile to show off during their next assignment. Ada gently set her hand on Selina's arms as they were wrapped around her and smiled while looking behind her as best she could. She quietly listened to Selina's story then said, "I'm sorry for leaving you so suddenly, and for making you cry because of it. I promise that it was worth it, though." She managed to free herself from the hug as she turned about to face her partner, then patted the pink-haired girl atop her head. "I've gained much from that short... business venture. I can't wait to show you, partner." Ada retracted her hand as Kenshin approached to thank Selina then introduce himself. "A pleasure, mister Kosei. I am Ada, from the noble Rio household serving the Lightning Nation's daimyo. I too am a rookie Jaeger." Ada reached over toward the job bulletin she was looking at before and pulled an assignment off. "Ready to get back to work?" She asked Selina, mostly, but she didn't really mind if Kenshin tagged along. He was also a rookie so it probably wouldn't be a huge deal if he was a third wheel until they were all more experienced.

__Selina smiled from cheek to cheek when Ada patted her head. That was better. And apparently Ada was more awesome than she was before! Fantastic! When Ada spoke to Kenshin and somewhat invited him to the mission, Selina stood by Ada's side and nodded wildly. "I agree he should come! I can sense he's a good person." She said with her wide smile. Selina was naturally able to tell the emotions of others. From Kenshin she could sense a pristine sense of justice. She considered it her fifth sense, as her other four were sight, smell, touch, and... something else. There were only four, right? Who cares! Selina had Ada back. Now it was time to have fun again.
__ Kenshin listened carefully to the conversation. He nodded his head in response to Ada's polite introduction. "It's an honor to meet you as well." He bowed his head for a moment after he spoke and then returned to his perfect posture. Ada was a noblewoman of high birth and still chose to fight for justice when she had so many other choices. There was a lot that he could respect about that even from a few sentences spoken. He also could not help but notice her radiant beauty, but immediately suppressed the emotion. This man was not one to embrace any of his feelings, his statuesque visage looked as though it was never touched by joy and his authoritatively wrinkled lip had never been kissed with a smile. His past was void of happiness and a crisis of self-identity. When Selina spoke up and complimented him he nodded before responding. "Yes, I think I should complete a couple of missions with you two first to gain experience." Once Kenshin was confident with the procedures of the KPD he would be more confident to venture out and complete objectives on his own. "Only if it does not interfere with your duty." He added, the dutiful completion of these missions with efficiency was his highest priority.
__ Ada gladly took Selina's input into consideration then looked to Kenshin for his decision to join them on their next assignment or not. Her new title here at the KPD was lingering, but considering what work they allowed her to do for them, the Jaegers probably wouldn't mind her taking this one. All the same, they hopefully wouldn't mind if she brought these two along with her too. Once she was officially recognized as a Jaeger Captain then she'd probably go out and celebrate. For a moment of considering this she also thought while glancing back at Selina, 'I wonder if she would like to celebrate with me? I'll keep it a secret for now.' Looking back to Kenshin she would reply to his expressed concern regarding their duty. "Mister Kosei, your assistance would be greatly welcomed for this assignment." She paused then smiled slightly and added, "Admittedly, I was going to show off to my partner a little for this one. However, I won't let that put success at risk. Especially not with the lives of Kumogakure's people on the line." Ada nodded once then started walking toward the exit. Along the way she would explain, "We have a hostage situation due to an ongoing robbery. There are four targets and lethal force is authorized if deemed necessary." She'd pass the Cops and Robbers paper around to the two of them so they could soak in all the other details she left out. The faces of the suspects, little tidbits about their profiles regarding their known shinobi skills. It wouldn't take too long for them to reach the Blue Dragon Emporium where the robbery was reported to be taking place.
