POV Geto

"Suguru...let's go to bed." Satoru whispers in the dark.

The library is empty and Satoru is knelt in front of me. It's eerily quiet. I can hear the wind outside whistle through the trees near the windows. The half moon cast a small amount of light that filters through the bookcases.

*beep

Satoru sighs and pulls out his phone.
"Shoko?" Satoru shrugs. "She wants us to come to her office now..."

"Grand." I stand up and stretch my back.

Satoru smiles at me. His eyes dance in the dim lighting as he pulls me to his chest.
"I had such a fun day Suguru."

"I did too Love." I kiss his soft cheek and we head to Shoko's hand in hand.

*knock knock knock

Shoko opens up the door and her eyes are puffy and I notice small amounts of blood on her tan sweater.

"You ok?" Satoru grabs her shoulders and bends over so his eyes are on hers. I put my finger on the blood on her sweater and pull away. It's still wet...

"Just come sit." She pulls and drags him to the couch. He looks back at me with confused eyes.

I slowly close the door and lock it. I scan the room.

"Haibara? Weren't you supposed to leave?" I walk slowly towards him.

Haibara stands near the bathroom door and wipes his eyes. He's holding gauze to his neck that is speckled red. "Yeah but..."

"Utahime? Is she ok?" Satoru stands up, his cursed energy flares off of him.

"Yes. The kids and her are all alright." Shoko chokes out pulling Satoru back down to her.

Satoru looks at me while he holds Shoko to his chest. His eyes darken with concern.

Silence fills the room. The yellow hue from the lone lamp on Shoko's desk is the only light so my eyes strain to see Haibara's face.

"What's going on?" I break the cold.

Shoko looks at Haibara and nods.

"I...I have to tell you something...Gojo." Haibara chokes out while twisting his hands together.

Satoru lets go of Shoko and sits on the edge of the couch with his elbows on his knees. His eyes search Haibara and I can tell his breathing is deep and calm.

He's trying to compose himself for whatever is to come.

Haibara starts to cry and covers his face. My heart hurts to see him in pain. Haibara is always the happy guy. Always the funny guy, next to Satoru.

I walk over to him but he backs away to the metal table making sure it sits between us. Haibara reaches into his pocket while gasping for breath and places an old black flip phone on the table. It clangs loudly as he tosses it down.

The vibration stays in the room.

I look back at Satoru who slowly eases his phone out of his own jeans. His hands shake noticeably as he taps the screen. Satoru's blue eyes stare into Haibara's as his finger hits a button.

*bzzzz
*bzzzz
*bzzzz

The black phone vibrates across the metal making the revelation even louder than it has to be.

"The unknown number..." Satoru lets his phone drop to the ground.

"Yeah. It was me. It will be me. I will help you. I am on the inside. I know what they are up to and when Gojo." Haibara speaks loudly trying to keep his voice from wavering.
